Character Name: Aldrea-Iskillon-Falan
Approximate age: Teen
Canon: Animorphs
Canon Point: Several weeks after first morphing chadoo, before she hears about Yeerks showing up on the Hork-Bajir homeworld.
Summary:
Flaws: Inbuilt sense of superiority; can recognize equals, but tends to be thoughtless/dismissive of others. Not Like Other Girls. Keeps secrets, lies, withholds information for leverage and when convincing's too much effort. Struggles asking for help, tends to manipulate or attempt to instead, evasive when uncomfortable. Willful, eager to go behind peoples' backs. Becomes focused on revenge after her family's murdered. Wanted the Hork-Bajir to be safe from the Yeerks, yes, but more strongly wanted their help in taking revenge. Has little sympathy for Dak's anguish about his people having to become killers but later scorn's Toby's willingness to fight. Despite finding monsters created in a lab abhorrent, their creation evil, she was happy to use them. Can be presumptive and dismissive of others' goals when they aren't hers, assuming she knows best. Inclined to imperious anger. Cynical and defeatist when exhausted. Claims accidents were intentional.
Strengths: Curious, easily swept up in interesting events, brave. Bonds quickly, readily shares most information back and forth, will go ride-or-die for some, deeply impressed when someone exceeds her expectations. Forgiving of many insults, willing to listen with sympathy to her friends, even when they're calling her out. Resourceful. Despite flaws, at heart a peace-loving idealist with a strong sense of justice. Has initial romantic ideas about war, also feels that decent people find killing abhorrent and is willing herself but dislikes it. Will not betray friends. Part of revenge focus is outrage - her father helped the Yeerks and none of her family ever harmed them, in fact the Yeerks took advantage of her father to steal technology and create an empire. Anyone who would commit genocide on non-Yeerks, even supposed allies, is her enemy.
Skills:
Running and jumping! She's a space centaur. Also, tail-fighting.
Dexterity, in both the 'moving with agility' sense and the 'can casually thread a needle' sense.
It's after this canon point but she learns pretty quickly how to do the guerilla war thing.
Powers: As an Andalite and having no mouth Aldrea communicates through thought-speech, broadcasting slightly farther than vocal range either selectively or to everyone within that range. Thought-speak consists of "universal symbols" and can be understood by everyone regardless of language barriers or ability to hear.
Secondly, the morphing power. Aldrea can touch a living creature and 'acquire' it or make a copy of its DNA. Typically the creature being acquired goes into a relaxed trance for maybe half a minute. Afterwards, by focusing on it transform physically, or morph, into a copy of it. The morphing process heals all wounds. She needs to be demorphed in order to morph something else, but if she spends over two hours in any morph she will be locked into that shape. The abilities of the creature are also copied, and some instincts, though it's still useful to practice.
Are you willing to play this character in a villainous role? Yes to a point - she's inclined to believe she knows best and can get really into revenge but she will still turn on a cause if her morals demand. Nothing just For The Evulz.
Is there a specific position or role you'd like the character to play? i.e. would you rather play a housecat than a clan cat? a lost pet? a loner/rogue(stray)?
I can see the pluses and minuses to all of those so I don't think so!
Is there anything specific you DON'T want? Nah
Cat details: A bit like this. Fur in shades of warm gray that more or less follow her patterns, orange eyes in her same color, gray pads. Polydactyl with seven toes per forepaw. These may or may not include 'thumbs'. That doesn't really confer a lot of advantage, mildly improved holding things ability but not a dramatic improvement, this is still a cat.
Cat name: If you need a clan cat name and don't want to pick one for yourself, I will give you a list to choose from OR: pick the prefix word and I will finish the name for you. Please note for clan cats the suffix might change if they're an apprentice. Go for it. I'm aware that by specifying polydactyly the door to "toe" or "claw" or "seven" names has been opened and I'm prepared to accept the consequences.
