Fade
Age: 16
Sex: Female
DNA: Kārearea (New Zealand falcon), Arctic wolf
Appearance(s):
Tall and skinny, much like most of the other bird kids, she looks like a boy, one of the many problems having occurred when she was created. The black comes from her wolf side of things.
Mutations
All the normal stuff from being a bird kid, great eyesight, speed, reflexes. She’s resilient against the cold, and has amazing endurance, allowing her to fly consistently for quite some time. The wolf side gives her a sharpened sense of smell, and acute hearing. All her teeth are also fairly sharp, with two small fangs coming up and down from each jaw, not really large enough to notice with just a casual glance.
Abilities: Fade’s ability is as her name suggests, to fade out of view. She cannot go entirely invisible, but she does become see-through, with just a faint, hazy outline to show where she is. She can still move around in this state, although moving excessively can become noticeable. She pretty much can render herself un-seeable, unless one knows what they are looking for. There is also the in-between phase, where she fades in/out, and she can, with a little more control, stop halfway, so she’s only part faded, and ends up looking a bit like a illusion.
Personality:
A bit aggressive sometimes, Fade manages to be both social and antisocial; you just have to pick your moment to approach her. She likes company, but not huge crowds, and gets terribly claustrophobic. Pretty cheerful, she is quiet around new people, but can talk one to the dozen if you get her started on a subject she likes. Fairly smart, she doesn't always show that, being more of a hit-them-head-on sort of person. Territorial to the last, she has managed to cultivate that urge so instead of ‘land’ it is used in protecting her 'family', touch one of them and prepare to die. Stubbornly loyal beyond words, a trait gained from the wolf, Fade hates seeing the others in her family hurt, no matter the reason. She always wishes she could protect them, from all harm that could come their way, although admits that’s not realistically possible. She also suffers from nightmares, and it is not uncommon for her to wake up crying, she has however, (for the most part,) managed to stop screaming herself awake. (And let’s face it, living in a dog cage as an experiment is going to give most people nightmares.) She is neither the strongest nor smartest in her ‘flock’, and would die for any of them if need-be.
Biography:
An earlyish version of the Erasers, she was an attempt to try and make a bird-kid/eraser crossbreed; it both worked and failed. She lived, hence the working, she was strong, but she wasn’t, in essence, an eraser, not to mention she was also uncontrollable. They never gave up on giving erasers wings, hence the winged erasers later, but that had nothing to do with her, she was pushed aside, used for other experiments, to see if they could… salvage her. She was ‘updated’ so as to be able to hunt and destroy the flock in colder climates, ice, snow and such. Although it took quite a few failed experiments to get there. Her cage was near those of the rest of the group, and they took her with them when they made their escape.
Extras:
Theme song; “And where was your watchman then?” (Cause I could)
She often prefers the world at night when the moon is strong, and everything is reduced to shades of black, white, and grey.
Much like wild wolves, Fade often uses visual signals, to communicate, although struggles a bit as she doesn’t have the ears or tail, key communication signs.
She just loves meat, from both her bird side and her wolf.
