I hope this is okay this is actually a character I developed for another, similar, game. While it had a similar plot it wasn’t based off the books. I been looking for someone to play him forever (since the game never got off his feet) if you need something changed though tell me and I’ll try and adjust it.
For the example post, Eva was originally an NPC that I play with him, but I am actually working on her stats and probably will join her as an actual character
By the way, I don’t know if it just me, but I keep getting an error every time I click any link (it not doing anything just being annoying)
His father was born fifty-four years ago on, February 12, 1954 to a rich and influential family, in the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) in the country of Russia, to the name Isaak Mikhailevich Dyalov. Born only a year after Stalin’s death, he was born during the time of change in the government of USSR, as Russia entered a period of De-Stalinization, or a movement to eliminate Stalin’s rule. Also born only a year after the end of World War II, Isaak was born into the Cold War. In March of 1954, only a month after his birth the KGB or the Committee for State Security (in English) was formed. The KGB was the official name of the umbrella organization serving as the Soviet Union’s premier security agency, secret police, and intelligence agency. Not long after its formation, Isaak’s father was promoted to a member of the Second Chief Directorate, which was responsible for counter-intelligence and internal political control of citizens and foreigners in the Soviet Union.
Isaak, like his father and grandfather, was an intelligent individual, who was able to advance and finishes his studies early. In 1972 a little after his eighteen birthday Isaak sought a job as a scientist for the government. It was here that, due to his grades and his family’s history to the government that he was placed as one of the top scientist of what they called the Linsang Project. The Linsang project was a project designed to create genetically engineered weapons, their focus Chimeras, or human-animal hybrids. The project was started early on in the Cold War, as the Russian Government hoped to create top-level fighters. With the limited knowledge of how DNA worked the experiments were unsuccessful. It wasn’t until the mid 50’s with the discovery of the Genetic code that the project really seemed to become possible. Still they were proving to be years away from any success. By 1972 the cold war was seemingly beginning to die down, despite this the experiments were ordered to continue.
In 1975 the world’s first pregnancy by artificial means was produced, the pregnancy though proved to be entopic and had to be terminated, it was around this time that the first results from the project finally started happening. The results they got though were anything but successes. Babies were born deformed, missing limbs, missing organs, or otherwise couldn’t sustain life. It wasn’t until 1976, with the birth of a baby girl who had been infused with Chimp DNA that the project seemed to have reached success. With the girl proving the project to not be a waste, (even if she seemed to show no special abilities) the government took interest once more, funding the project to ensure that it would continue. From her they branched out in the type of Animal DNA used and in the next two years they produced about five more children (with many more having been either lost during pregnancy or born deformed).
The first batch though soon proved to be anything but the success they thought it was. Many of the children were showing signs of health issue then in the year 1979 a young boy who had been infused with ferret DNA, died of what appeared to be old age. The experiments that were alive were soon kept under watch, though most suffered the same faith. It wasn’t until later that year (1979) the first real successful experiment was born, a baby girl who had wolf DNA infused on her.
From there the experiments seemed to pick up and with the use of prisoners and a few chosen female participants, hybrids were being born. The results were far from consistent though and they only seemed to have a 45% live birth rate. Still they were producing live results.
With his work Isaak often seemed to lack time for much of an outside life, he often dedicated himself to doing the research. So it was a surprise to everyone around him when in late 1979 at the age of twenty five when he met Aleksandra, a childhood friend of his.
His mother:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
His mother was born fifty-two years ago on, January 4th, 1956. Like Karol’s father she was born to a rich and rather influential family in Soviet Russia to the name Aleksandra Makarovich Akimova. The oldest of six kids, she was often responsible for watching over the children, and doing other household chores, including helping cooking, at a very young age. Her father was a hard worker dedicated to his country and when she was only seven he was promoted to high government position. Due to the nature of his work her father was rarely around the house, instead her mother and later her was usually left with a house of screaming children for prolonged periods of time.
When Aleksandra was ten her mother died giving birth to her youngest brother, with her passing Aleksandra was expected to pick up her duties. The housework, watching the children, laundry, and other tasks her father saw as ‘woman’s duty’ was left to her. Most of the time Aleksandra was left alone during the day with the kids, her father only calling in his late wife’s sister when he was gone for more then one day. Though Aleksandra seemed to accept her duties as the oldest woman left in the house, she often seemed to want something more, or at least an escape now and then.
Despite this Aleksandra staid with her family, helping her father look after the house, raise the kids, and other such chores long after her eighteenth birthday. It wasn’t until 1979 when she was twenty three that she first showed signs of wanting to move out. By then, her youngest brother was thirteen and no longer needed her care.
His parents:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
His parents were childhood friend, having met through their father’s when Aleksandra was only three. Over the years thought he two slowly grew apart as their parents went different ways and by the time Aleksandra was ten she no long spoke to Isaak. It wasn’t until thirteen years later the two crossed paths again. Now back in each other lives the two hit it off, and a year later Isaak asked her to marry him, a move that surprised everyone that knew him. Isaak was never viewed as the marrying type, or husband material. Those around him described him as cold, cruel, and controlling, and it was often joked that he was married to his job. Still despite this, the two were married in early 1981. By December of the same year the ‘honey moon’ period seemed to be over, Isaak’s true colors started showing through.
He was a cruel man, controlling and borderline abusive, and he soon proved to have no problem using his wife to further his experiments. Using his wife as a ‘vessel’, he conducted a new line of experiments, trying to further integrate the animal DNA with that of the embryo’s trying to resulted in a more integrated hybrid with higher percentage of animal DNA. He wanted the resulting offspring to be 98% or so human in appearance with just the hint of physical traits of the animal (always subtle, the plan was for them to blend) though he wanted more of their abilities to show. Over the next six years or so his wife miscarried two of these experiments, two more didn’t take, and one was born deformed. It wasn’t until 1988 that the first success of these experiments were finally born.
Birth to three:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
He was born about twenty years ago on September 30th, 1988 to the name Karol Isaakovich Dyalov in USSR. He was the first living success of 2nd string of experiments, having been infused with tiger DNA before he was implanted in his mother. Upon his birth though nothing special was seen about him, no animal traits were seen. He was soon labeled a failure, even though he was alive and healthy.
Most children born with animal DNA who did survive were kept to the lab. This was done for a number of reasons, two of the most important reasons being, one, if the experiments were discovered things would get messy and two, they were further experimented on, tests run throughout their lives to see how they were developing. Those that ran into health issue do to the animal DNA were often disposed of. They were rarely viewed as anything more then experiments. Karol on the other hand, maybe due to the fact that he was actually the son of an experimenter was brought home. They disguised the move as another study, testing to see how the experiments were survive outside the lab setting.
Life wasn’t easy for Karol or his mother though. Not long after she brought him home he stared showing that he did indeed gain the ability that many experiments were observed as having, the ability to shift. This prevented them from leaving the house as anytime that Karol got overly stimulated, upset, or left hungry, he ended up shifting into the form of a white tiger. This also made feeding time harder as if Karol’s mother was quick enough in feeding she had a baby tiger to deal with instead of her son. Or whenever Karol was overtired he would end up shifting.
It wasn’t until he was about a year old that he finally seemed to start gaining some control over the ability he had. Shifting soon became more conscious, as he discovered that getting around in tiger form was much easier then his own human form. Though as he gained more and more control of his shifting ability the less he shifted accidentally, he now had more control of his ability and his emotions. Though this didn’t make things any easier on his mother. The poor woman had her hands full, as if raising a toddler wasn’t hard enough, having to constantly chase after a energetic wild cat was more then she really knew how to deal with.
This of course also stunted his progress to a degree when in human form. Due to being able to rely heavily on his cat form he didn’t need to get around in his normal form, as a result he didn’t take his first steps until he was nearly two. It was also this time that it became clear to his father that maybe he wasn’t as much as a failure in terms of the experiment after all. When his teeth started coming in for the fist time, it soon became clear that he had two tiny sets of fangs.
This of course also made things difficult, a teething baby is hard enough to deal with, now one that has such sharp and dangerous set growing in. On top of that he was also proving to have more of the grace and ability of his tiger form without having to shift. While all the experiments showed advanced abilities, Karol’s were beyond anything else that was really seen. The higher percentage of animal DNA also showed up in other ways. He had cravings for raw meet, urges to chase moving objects, and the smell of blood seemed to excite him.
Not long after his second birthday his father placed in a training program, now that Karol had complete control over his human form his father started training him in the art of battle. After all he was bred to be a weapon and therefore he didn’t really have time to be a child. Karol though seemed to see it as a game at first, which was fine by his father so long as he did as he was told with out arguing. Of course any argument or mistake was usually met violently. He had no patience for the childlike nature of his subjects.
Despite the fact that Karol was Isaak’s biological child, he seemed to take little interest in him outside an experiment or training sense. While he was interested in any change in him in the experimental sense he otherwise found the boy to be a nuisance. he often met the boy’s seemingly hyper and somewhat happy personality with violence. Despite the fact that he knew that one day the young boy would grow to be stronger then him.
In the late December of 1991, the Council of Republics of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, recognized the dissolution of the Soviet Union and dissolves itself. With this the USSR officially falls, something that was happening for years. With the USSR gone, the Cold War is over.
With the fall of the USSR a new government is put into place for Russia, the projects done under the old Government are disbanded. Despite this, interest in the Linsang Project remained high and soon the government reorganized it under the name of Leopon Project. Again Isaak was placed in top position due to his success in the past.
Four to five:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
The day of his fourth birthday came and went rather uneventfully. There was no party to celebrate the occasion though; there was barely any acknowledgement of the achievement. His mother was pregnant again and complications with the pregnancy had left her bed bound for most of the day. This often left Karol to his own devices and often ended with him getting into trouble. It wasn’t so much that he was a bad kid at this point, he was just curious. As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat, or in his case ‘killed the mother’. While he wasn’t meaning to be bad he got into everything. He just had to touch, especially if he was told that he shouldn’t touch it. Nothing seemed safe from him, if it was placed up high he would climb to retrieve it. it wasn’t long before anything of value, dangerous, or breakable was under lock and key. Of course this didn’t keep him from trouble, he was bored and he had little else to do with himself.
When night came though and his father returned, it was almost like Karol was a completely different person. The curiosity faded and so did the pent up energy. Suddenly he was serious and usually at attention, most of the time though he rather avoid his father. Escape the wrath he knew would end up being sent his way. On good days this worked, his father seeming to tired to pursue him. most of the time though his father sought him out, he had training to do, he couldn’t let him slack.
A few months after his birthday, in December of 1992 his mother went into labor. The labor was hard and long lasting for about two days, but on December 12th she gave birth to a young girl who she named Anastasiya Isaakovna Dyalova. The birth was premature by two and half months and the girl was small and frail looking. To help ensure her survival she was kept in the lab using ventilators to help in her breathing. It wasn’t until two months later that she was finally released from the lab. Sasha (as she was called) like her brother, was another one of Isaak’s experiments. Isaak had infused Snow Leopard DNA onto hers; again, he still sought after producing animal-like traits in the human form, something that he seemed too finally succeed at. While Sasha was mainly human looking, she did have small traits that marked her for what she was, her eyes were the light green to gray of the snow leopards, and she was fair skinned much like the snow leopard form. This marked the start of extensive research into creating more integrated human-animal hybrids. Isaak wanted to create the best weapon, a human with wings, with a full mouth of sharp fangs, with claws, anything that can be used as built in weapons.
Over the next year Karol did a lot of growing up. He no longer was the baby and it seemed this was enough to bring him down to earth. Maybe it was that he now had something to do as he seemed to dedicate himself to helping his mother with the raising of his sister. His sister soon proved to have many of the same abilities as him, though she seemed to have trouble holding the animal form for long periods of time, a fact that concerned Isaak. Such a trait wasn’t sought after, especially not with what they wanted to use them for. What was even worse a few other experiments were proving to lack the ability at all. Their father hoped that with training that Sasha would be able to better control and prolong her shifting and so his training of her began.
At the same time talk soon started about enrolling Karol in school. He was now five, school was fast approaching, and they needed to have him prepared. Dealing with him and school was not as simple as dealing with the average kid, there were precautions that needed to be taken, training that needed to be done. Over the next year Karol’s was badgered with what was and wasn’t acceptable in public. You do not shift in public or draw attention to any of the odd abilities the DNA provided. You are to act normal and not draw attention to yourself. This was the first time that Karol started to realize that he wasn’t normal. That not everyone had the same abilities he did and not everyone was so ready to accept it.

Years Of Role Playing:
Eight years? (I don’t remember)
How You Found Us:
I actually don’t remember
Sample Role Play With Your Character:
The trip had started hours ago and still the pair seemed no closer to their destination. They had setout in this trip early this morning, long before the sun ever rode in the sky. It was not clear what time it was now, if the sun was out it wasn’t breaking through the thick tree tops. They had entered the forest sometime back and it seemed as if they were getting nowhere fast. The forest was thick and seemed endless, still Karol trudged on, seemingly unfazed by the long hike through the unforgiving terrain. He didn’t seem fazed by the uneven ground and though most would probably find it difficult to navigate he moved at a brisk pace. He wasn’t really in a rush, he had no where to be or anything, though he did want to be clear of the damned woods before nightfall.
The smaller figure of a young girl scurried behind him, doing her best to keep up with the much larger male. Unlike him navigating the wooded terrain wasn’t an easy task and she struggled most of the time to just keep him in sight. It wasn’t until they came to a clearing in the undergrowth that she was able to finally make any progress, taking advantage of it and jogging to close the gap between them. The clearing didn’t last long though and it wasn’t long before she was back to haphazardly climbing over the undergrowth.
It wasn’t long before the young girl seemed to have enough and without warning she stopped in her tracks, her breath heavy. Leaning her weight into a nearby tree she tried to catch her breath. Karol through didn’t seem to notice at first or if he did sure didn’t seem to care. Continuing forward he paid the small child no mind, it was only when he was a good twenty feet or more away from her that he finally did stop, though he didn’t look completely happy about it. Turning his head to look at the girl over his shoulder he rolled his eyes with a sigh
“Come on Eve, keep up”
There was no sympathy in his voice, if anything he sounded more agitated and impatient. He didn’t have time to stand here all day and wait for her and he didn’t like being held up. Eve didn’t seem bothered by the tone, lifting her head she looked up to the older male, her face blank of any emotion
“I’m tired”
There was no hint of whine in her voice, it was simply a fact and stated as such. Karol still gave her no sympathy, giving her a long look he staid quiet a moment as if waiting for her to continue. When nothing more was said he finally responded with a shrug of one of his shoulders
“…and? What do you expect me to do about that? I’m not going to carry you”
Scowling slightly Eve dropped her gaze to the ground not responding. Finally pushing herself from the tree she once more lifts her eyes to look at Kar her face once more blank of emotion, she slowly moved to catch up with the older male
“and why not? I weigh next to nothing for a big manly man such as you
So? I’m still not going to carry you. You say you are a ‘big girl’ right? well big girls don’t get carried”
The look that she gave him at that was likely to stop most people cold, a look that hostile should never come from one so young. Karol though didn’t seem fazed by it as he didn’t give the girl the benefit of a response, which only served to annoy the girl further.
“I never said that! I said I wasn’t a kid
Whatever, you are playing with semantics here. Grownups aren’t carried either”
Giving him another dirty look the small girl breathed in a heavy sigh that sounded closer to a growl.
“I just want to rest for a bit…
…No
I’ll scream”
She said it coldly as if it was a threat, for some it might be. Karol though didn’t take the bait, he never did take her nonsense. Instead he shrugged again, moving to continue down the path leaving her behind
“go ahead, what do you think you are going to accomplish? Who’s attention do you think you will get? Maybe some wild animals? I won’t save you if you do, big girl’s don’t need saving either.”
Giving her a look over his shoulder again he couldn’t quite help the smirk that formed on his lips at the look she was giving him.
“oh that look you are giving me is rather ugly Eve.”
She scowled at him again before she moved to catch up once more, though she did so halfheartedly
“you’d think the big ‘manly man’ would do all the protecting
Hey you are the ‘big girl’ defend yourself.
You’re a jerk, you know that?”
She was growing impatient with him, that only seemed to amuse him more and egg him on further
“Nah. I just treating you as you ask to be treated. You want to be an adult. You can’t have it both ways”
She huffed at him once more stopping dead in her tracks her arms crossing over her chest. Maybe it was the air the girl gave off this time, maybe Karol himself was just growing annoyed with her. Whatever it was, this time when she stopped so did he, though he didn’t look back at her
“I never asked to go on this wild goose chase, don’t adults get choices?
No. you have no say in the manner. Its actually part of being a grown up, we don’t always enjoy out work. Still we want to get paid we have to get up and go
But this is YOUR work, not mine
And by default its yours. That is if you want to be paid”
As he said the last part he pulled a small stuffed bear from his pocket, holding it up over his shoulder catching the attention of the small girl. Full focus now on him and the toy he held in his hand she half jogged to close the distance between them, reaching up uselessly as if trying to snatch it from his hand.
“That’s mine!”
Her tone was a demanding one, as if she expected him to hand it over at that. Karol though just had to laugh as he held it up just out of her reach, half waving it in front of her to further back up his point
“not yet it isn’t and…
I want it”
She interrupted his words, her voice still demanding as she gave Karol a long hard look as if she did expect him to crumble under her, she knew better, but she still tried. Karol though just tucked it back away into the inner pocket of his jacket shaking his head at her
“you can have it when we get there”
She let out another huff of breath, letting out her frustrations with that. She knew better then to fight with him over it, she wasn’t going to win. Shaking her head, she quickly let the attitude fade and returned to that cold collectiveness she was famous for
“where is there anyway?
…Don’t you worry about that.”
Karol said it in a bit of a dismissive tone, he honestly didn’t really have an answer for that this point. He just didn’t know where they were heading. There was no insider information on this place, no maps, nothing. Just some rumors that some of the experiments were hiding here. The higher ranked members of the hunters had some promising information on a secret society that existed, or at least they thought existed, but nothing more. There was no data to help pinpoint where exactly this society was located. The group wanted to remain unknown and hidden and they were doing a good job of that so far. Karol though was going to ensure that their luck was about to run out. He had depended purely on his own instincts and senses to bring him this far, he wasn’t sure if he was right or not but he wasn’t concerned yet. Eve on the other hand wasn’t so confident with Kar’s abilities it seemed, because as soon as she seemed to figure out what his answer meant her eyes widened only the smallest big, most easily miss that hint of concern.
“you don’t even know, do you?
Of course I do”
Karol lied effortlessly, without so much as a blink to give him away. Lying came easy to him, it rolled of his tongue much like one would expect the truth would. There was no hesitation, no discomfort. He was an expert liar, the type that could easily fool a lie detector tests, no one could see trough him…that was except for her. Maybe it was due to how long she been with him, maybe it was the animal DNA in her, either way she somehow always seemed to know when eh was full of shit. She was able to pick up even the smallest lie or stretch of the truth. Karol though still kept his cool, once more moving on, maybe trying to distract her some. Eve wasn’t about to let him go that easily, and moved quickly to keep up with him.
“Don’t lie to me Karol! You know I know when you lie. You have no idea where we are going do you?
I do too…okay not exactly. But I’ll know it when I see it
With that the girl stopped dead once more, giving Karol a long hard look of agitation.
“well, well, isn’t that just so convenient”
Her words stopped him in his tracks, though this time there seemed to be more behind the sudden lack of motion. Turning to face the younger girl, not saying anything, he gave her a look. There was no anger this time though, no agitation, there wasn’t even that amusement at obviously annoying her, instead his face was completely empty, void of any emotion. Many tended to find that scarier then any anger he might offer them, at least with anger they knew what was going on in his head. With this look, it was closer to the calm before the storm, the look right before he was likely to tear your throat out with his bare hands. Eve seemed to be one of those, lifting her head she went incredibly still under the look, her face seemingly draining of color. He had never hurt her before, but she still never liked to be on the receiving end of that look, never know when your luck was going to run out. Stepping up to him slowly, she didn’t let herself waver, she wouldn’t show weakness to him, it was a dangerous idea.
“I’m just tired”
She said it again the same way as she did earlier, just stating a fact. Karol sighed softly, though still no real emotion registered on his face. Kneeling down he made a motion to her to get on, he wasn’t about to slow down and he needed her to keep up, that wasn’t going to happen if he left her to her own devices
“go on, get on”
She looked at him cautiously as if trying to figure out what exactly his angle was, as if she expected him to be tricking her. Eventually she decided that he meant no harm, and moved forward to him. He lifted her up onto his back, piggyback style, though she didn’t look happy about it.
“I’m just not built for this, it’s your father’s fault”
Karol said nothing, but he knew it was true. She was a small girl with a frail build. She was made for quick burst of speed not stamina or strength. He needed her to preserve her energy, mainly so he can use it later if needed. He didn’t say anything more to her, instead he easily lifted her, continuing on their way.

Unknown amount of White Bengal Tiger, he shifts into the white tiger form and shows very little proof of the DNA otherwise. He does have a set of fangs (hard to see unless drawing attention to it) his eyes at times can bleed to that of the tiger.
Extra Powers:
Telepathic, can’t read minds but can send thoughts to others
Photographic memory: of sorts, he usually remembers just about anything he sees or hears.
Slightly advanced healing: He heals rather quickly, though the time varies with the extent of the injury. The most severe injuries usually last a week.
Allegiance:
None. The first thing one needs to know about Karol is that he loyal to a very few. He is his main concern and most of everyone else takes a backseat. He is likely to turn on his own family if it benefits him. he does have a very select few that he is loyal to, mainly Eva, even if he won’t openly admit that. He also tends to go where the money is, though just being hired won’t insure his loyalty. One needs to be sure that one won’t outbid them as he quick to turn on an employer for a higher price.

about a hundred and ninety six centimeters (about six foot five inches),
Weight:
about one hundred and four kilograms (about two hundred and twenty nine pounds)
Eye Colour:
Dark Brown
Hair Colour:
Dark Brown
Skin Tone:
Olive
Overall Appearance:
At a first glance Karol can come across as a rather intimidating individual. Tall and built like a brick wall he not someone that most people really want to make angry. Standing at about a hundred and ninety six centimeters (about six foot five inches), he is rather impressive and he usually ends up towering over most of those around him. Though often described as being a bit on the thin side, he is anything but weak. Weighing in about one hundred and four kilograms (about two hundred and twenty nine pounds) of pure muscle he does have a solid build. He has a good deal of this weight is muscle though and this muscle does not come in the form of bulk. He has no interest in actually bulking up, as in his opinion this does nothing for you. Instead he has more interest in lean muscle.
He is a quick and nimble fighter, using the lack of bulk for his advantage. Added on top of that the animal reflexes, instincts, and years and years of training he is a formable opponent in battle. Though he can use a weapon he isn’t the type that tend to rely heavily on them. He instead is of more a hands on fighter, the downfall to this method is that it does mean having to get up close and personal with your opponent which can be dangerous for you, especially if your opponent has a weapon. Still, despite this, he still relies heavily on his training, depending more on controlled power, no matter the type of fight he is in. He has perfect control of his body and every one of his movements. Every move he makes tends to have a purpose without wasting any more energy then needed.
His hair is naturally dark brown that is almost black. In the winter, or during the times where he didn’t get out in the sun much his hair can darken to the point that it appears to be a true black. During summer, due to the sunlight bleaching it, his hair can lighten to the point that it is a true, though still dark brown. He does tend to keep his hair relatively short, not wanting to have to bother with the nuisance of it in his eyes and in his way. Most of the time though he is just too lazy or to busy to stop and cut it, causing to grow much longer then he would ever be comfortable with. At the moment it just long enough to fall into his eyes, which to him signals the need for a trim, though he has yet to really find the time to stop and do it.
His eyes are one of the stranger traits of his. While most of the time though his eyes appear to be completely normal, with nothing really out of the ordinary about them. His eyes are naturally a deep dark brown that border on being black, and when he is upset, agitated, tired, or even just in dark lighting, they will darken in appearance at least, to the point that they will actually look to be black. When angry or right before a shift though his eyes will bleed to a very light blue of the tiger, the change is a rather drastic one and is rather noticeable by those around him, which then proceeds to freak most people out.
Maybe the best way to describe Karol though it to say that he is very ‘flat’ a majority of the time. More often then not he appears ‘empty’ of any real emotion. He tends to come across to most people as uncaring and cold. He has the ability to completely drain his face and eyes of any form of emotion, this is probably one of the strangest and scariest ability he has as he is able to go from laughing to completely blank in a matter of seconds. In a way he has an almost animal like appearance to him and e is often accused of watching people as if he saw them as prey. This does make people uneasy, especially since he is so hard to read. His eyes rarely give anything away, he is more often described as having the eyes of a killer. Someone that would not lose sleep over killing you.
He unlike many of the other experiments has retained some of the traits of the animal whose DNA is combined with his. The most noticeable of these would be the eyes, though they are only cat-like when angry or about to shift (or he is purposely messing with someone). Maybe though, the oddest thing about him, isn’t his eyes but instead the fact that he has two sets of sharp fangs. The fangs have been described by some, in a not so nice matter, as ‘doggy fangs’ as they resemble the fangs of a predatory animal, such as a dog. The fangs though aren’t overly huge in human form and probably harder to notice unless one is really looking. They are probably most noticeable when he smiles, or when he again is purposely trying to freak people out.
He has his father’s darker complexion that borders between being naturally tanned and an olive skin tone. This has ended up making his scars stand out, as they ended up being more pearly white marks. He does have a good deal of scaring, though many are small and over looked, the most noticeable of his scars is one that marks his right arm, from his shoulder to the crook of his elbow, from a mishap in a fight when in tiger form, another one marks his left cheek, and forehead from a fight with a sword, and another down the length of his back form a mishap with a sword.
His dark complexion mixed with his dark hair and eyes leaves him with a naturally dark appearance, which is probably why most are surprised upon seeing his animal form. In his animal form is a large white Bengal tiger. He is a massive cat, slightly on the large side for the species with a good deal of muscle. In this form his coat is snowy white with the bold black stripes of the breed.
Karol is the master of disguising himself and playing ‘normal’ or friendly. Normally when on the job (hunt) he will take on another identity of a made up ‘character’ as to avoid detection of who he truly working for. This is often how he ends up getting close to people due to the fact that he is good at it. When in a role everything about him changes down to his mannerisms, and he is able to keep up the role with ease. This makes it hard to actually track him and keep tabs on him, something he depends on.
Clothing Style:
His clothing style can usually be described in one word, and that is ‘formal’. He tends to go with tailored well fitting clothes, button up shirts, dress jeans, and most likely boots. He tends go with duller colors, that won’t get easily noticed.
Other:
He has plenty of scaring, most from his training as a fighter/executer/hunter, whatever one wants to call it. The most noticeable of his scars though is a scar that runs down his right arm, cutting form about the shoulder to the crook of his elbow, another one down his left cheek, though it has faded over time to the point it is harder to see now. He also has another light scar on his forehead, often hidden by hair. The most obvious of his scaring is the one that marks down his back, this one scars from his right shoulder down to his left hip.

On The Inside…
Likes:
Weapons mainly swords and firearms, one might say he has a downright fascination with them. Despite his fascination with the things and the fact that he is very well trained in the art of using them, it not likely that he be caught using one in a fight. Still even though he doesn’t use them in battle, he is always armed with at least a blade and gun, and most likely a sword. He also has a fascination with crossbows and bows and arrows though he not likely to be seen carrying one of those around. They just draw way to much attention to you.
Drinking/partying: He does seem to have some form of normal side to him, he does enjoy going out with others his age now and then and having a good time. He not one to get drunk, though in truth he not even sure he can get drunk, he never did test that theory. He is a smart drinker and he know what would be his limits. While he might not get drunk, he does tend to get others drunk, mainly females. While he does enjoy having a good time he not a fan of spending too much time in loud clubs, they just tend to overwhelm his senses, which are more sensitive, then a normal humans. He does not have a lot of people he would call friends though, this has as much to do with others reaction to him then it does to do with his reaction to people. Many people actually fear him at first. He not likely though to really harm someone unless he is hired to do so.
The ladies: He …is a bit of a pig, which is probably putting it nicely. He does enjoy the females and can be quite the flirt with them. He more into one night swings though then any form of commitment. As far as he is concerned he is far to young to let himself get tied down yet. He has no interest in a long-term relationship though he doesn’t seem to care if he leads the girl on to think otherwise.
reading: yeah maybe something that is hard to believe about him, but he does like to read and does so quite often. He prefers older literature (classics though most of his taste is older then that). He has read many of the ancient Greek literature (in its original language), he doesn’t normally keep up with more recent works though.
expensive things: call him shallow, call him superficial, he doesn’t care. He likes expensive and flashy things that show off that he has money and a lot of it at that. He likes to spoil himself while he has no interest in spending money on ‘charity’ or anything of the sort.
music: again maybe something that is hard to believe about him but he is a music fan. His taste in music is rather wide too, he can enjoy bits of everything, though he is not into rap. He does have a like for classical music though. He also can play the piano though this is not something people know about him and he not about to let them know about.
Dislikes:
Overall Karol is rather indifferent; he doesn’t ‘care’ enough to dislike much of anything. While he does find things to be more of a nuisance then anything he rarely ‘dislikes’ them as he more likely to feel as if ‘they don’t matter’ and waste no more time on it.
Annoying People: Maybe ‘people’ is more accurate way of wording it, his definition of ‘annoying’ rarely matches anyone else’s definition. He doesn’t like people who come across as overly pushy or in your face. People who challenge him are more likely to be met with rather hostile consequences.
his family: in truth it more of an indifference, don’t’ get him wrong under it all he does care for his sister and mother. He actually cares for them a lot, he just doesn’t care to put up with them and their passiveness. He can not stand his father, he never did like the man. The two always clashed and just didn’t get alone.
taking orders: If you want to remain on his ‘good side’ which is usually a good idea, do not make the mistake of telling him what to do or how to do something. he does not take orders, if he does do something someone asks him to do it only because he wanted to and not because of the other person.
Goals:
school? yeah, as odd as it sounds that is probably his main ambition, he doesn’t care about the feud between the hunters and projects, that doesn’t matter to him. what does matter to him is his own education to a degree. He not a fan of school (it bores him) but he does plan on finishing his education and doing something with his life. Though at this point he still not sure what he wants to do or what he can do with himself.
Fears:
He would argue that he fears nothing and it truth it often does seem that way. He doesn’t really seem to experience emotions like the average person (this is true about most things with him)
Tight places: This isn’t exactly a fear as he can handle them just fine he just not that comfortable with them. This goes for smaller or crowded rooms or anything that he feels is just to restricting. He prefers more open spaces, though again he doesn’t require them.
Quirks
Cold: maybe the better term is emotionless, he doesn’t really seem to feel emotions the way the average person does. While he has learned to fake a lot of the average human emotions over the years he still left feeling rather clueless as how he is supposed to act when put in situations that require a lot of emotion. In truth he tends to find these situations downright exhausting as he constantly working on putting on
explosive: Karol isn’t an easy person to read, especially when it comes to reactions to things. He is known to go from completely calm to downright explosive in a matter of a second.
Habits:
Chasing money: that seems to be his only real goal at the moment, he doesn’t care about much else, he just does what he has to for the cash, not that he actually needs the money. One just has to make what they want him to do worth his while. He honestly couldn’t care less about most things, so threats don’t work on him. the only real way to get anything from him is make it benefit him.
Bad Habits:
Drinking (sort of): He doesn’t get drunk, it actually not sure if he can get drunk, but he does enjoy alcohol, though in all honesty he probably enjoys using it more on others. He has no qualms about getting someone drunk to get what he wants out of them. he has questionable morals and he not ashamed to admit it.
Controlling: He is a controlling individual, he expects people to do what he says simply because he said it. He is quick to bark orders and quick to grow violent when these orders aren’t obeyed. He not one to ask and he has no interest in playing nice. \\\
Weaknesses:
Stubborn: he is stubborn to a fault, refusing or maybe more like not knowing how to admit that he is wrong in a situation. He will go out of his way to not have to admit that anyone else was right. It is also very hard for him to admit when he might need help and it very rare for him to finally break down and ask someone for any kind of assistance. He also will not admit he lost and will not back down, this though has proved more beneficial to him as it has ended with him pulling through despite all odds. It also likely to be what kills him one day.
prideful; or maybe more like arrogant, he often comes across as if he is full of himself. He thinks highly of himself and he is not afraid to let anyone else know that he thinks they should too. He knows he is good at what he does and he will not let those he works for forget it. That said he isn’t overly boastful either, he not loud about it. He just tends to have a quiet smugness about him. this though at times can often lead to him over estimating his ability in a fight and could end up with him dead one day when he gets in over his head.
untrustworthy: unless you are one of the rare people that he truly calls a friend or he is working for you (and there is money involved, enough money that you can be sure that someone won’t offer him a better price) don’t make the mistake to trust him. he is far from trustworthy individual. Lying comes easy to him as does breaking promises. He is a bit of a pathological liar though he not the type to lie just for the sake of lying. Instead he just more likely to protect his own ass any way he knows how. He doesn’t care who gets hurt (unless it’s the few he cares for) in the process of protecting himself.
selfish: Selfish, self-centered, and egocentric, these are all words that can be used to describe Karol. As far as Kar is concerned Kar is the centered of his universe, and everything revolves around him. he has no interest in the current fight between the experiments and the ‘hunters’ that he is actually a part of. In truth he can easily switch sides if one offered him enough pay. Kar’s first priority is himself and anyone be damned (again unless you are one of the select few) if you get in his way.
antisocial: maybe better known as a sociopath. While he can function in groups and get along with others when he wants to and when it comes to living his everyday life, with school and such he does seem to blend decently well, he does have many antisocial behaviors. He lacks any real empathy with people and he quick to make decisions that are likely to end up hurting someone, so long as it benefits him. again going along with the selfishness of his, he does not care who he hurts (again except for a very rare few) so long as he comes out benefiting in the end.
Strengths:
Fighting: what he lacks in social skill she makes up for in fighting ability. While he might not be the most social or nice person, he will argue that he has no need to be. He was raised to be a weapon and that is what he is. Weapons don’t need to feel. His lack of any real emotion (or so it comes across) does make battle easy for him as he has no care in who he hurts. He is a good weapon and fighter and is often called in to be just that when they need him. his increased strength do to the experiments on him only have proved to help him more in this area.
stronger senses: he due to the experimentations done on him he has gained not only the tiger’s keep sense but reflexes as well in human form. He is quick on his feet and able to pick up things no human would be able too. He does use this in his tracking as he is able to pick up the scent of the other experiments easily. This is one of the reasons he is often hired by the hunters to aid them.
Smart: he is an extremely intelligent individual with the ability to think quickly on his feet in any given situation. He is level headed not easily panicked and can think in the most chaotic situation. He has a quick mind with a strong memory that is able to remember just about everything he has come across. He has an enjoyment for languages and a strength for them as well and due to this and his education can speak many different ones.
amazing actor: Karol is an amazing actor a skill that he often puts to use when ‘on the job’. When he is working he will usually take on another (usually made up) identity. When playing a role he plays it perfectly, everything down to his mannerisms change to fit the type of personality he wants that person to have. Usually he will only use a name once, and for a short period of time, usually only for as long as the job lasts this helps prevent him from being tracked. There has been a few times where he has kept it up longer and he has no problem keeping up an act for however long it benefits him.
loyal: maybe this isn’t the first trait one thinks of when they think of him, not that he would totally blame anyone. He doesn’t come across as the most loyal type. But this is more because he rarely ‘promises’ loyalty to anyone. To the few he does let close to him and he truly calls a friend he is deathly loyal. The real problem comes up with people assuming that he calls them a friend when he really does not. He is not likely to promise his loyalty to anyone, though once he does this is one promise he will not break. One also should not assume that he promises his loyalty simply because he takes on a job, he quick to turn on an employer if someone outbids them.
General Personality:
Maybe one of the only things that is ‘stranger’ then his appearance (with his catlike fangs) is his personality, strange and quirky doesn’t even begin to describe him. Maybe the only real way to describe Karol is to be upfront and honest, and to admit that he is a bit of a…okay he is very much an ass. Arrogant and self-centered he has no interest in others and does not care to play ‘nice’. He has no interest in formalities and not the type that likely to censor himself simply to prevent someone else’s feelings from getting hurt. He has a sick sense of humor (and has been called a sick fuck in the past due to it).He has a thing for head games and he likes to play with his ‘prey’ before going into for the kill. He loves a game of ‘cat and mouse’ for lack of a better way of describing it and seems to get some joy out of making his victim beg before finally finishing them off. One might argue that he is a bit on the insane side ‘not quite right in the head’ but if that the case he never really been ‘right’.
He is an very bright individual with an above average intelligence. While he is strong he is a case of being more brain then brawn though he does make this work for him. While he is extremely book smart, with a love of reading and languages, he rarely lets this show. While he is smart he is a bit unique in the way he functions, he doesn’t think the way most people do. He ahs a very methodical way to his thinking, and he tends to thinks things through usually step by step, making sure that he has everything covered before he ever does anything, rather then rushing into it. He has a very logical way of thinking too and can easily think his way out of most situations. He doesn’t always present himself tough in the brightest light and at times he can be hard for people to grasp and understand and this has at times got him labeled slow by people. He also seems to at times have a hard time grasping what other people are trying to say, though this is more to do with his lack of understanding of the emotion behind the point they are trying to get across. Though this at times is hard to really pick up on since he never seems to be interested in anything anyone has to say anyway.
He is a cold individual though not quite withdrawn in the way people would think of it. He is a bit of a loner at times he is anything but shy. In truth he just tends to prefer the solitary lifestyle then actually bothering to bond with anyone. This is probably how he got into his life as a hunter (he would argue he is an assassin),the constant changing of identity does make it hard to form relationships as most people don’t even know who you truly are. Or worse, you aren’t sure which identity they met. The few relationships he does end up in are rarely anything serious. While he does have a few childhood friends, they don’t really know all that much about him. He has trouble letting people get close to him and often ends up shoving them away rather then taking a chance and trusting someone. He also not very interested at this point in any long-term romantic relationship. He argues that he is way to young to let himself get tied down, plus what good are such things anyway? That said he does enjoy ‘the ladies’ as already stated, and often finds himself in their bed simply as a means of proving he can or for the fun. He not one to lie about his involvement with them either, though he not exactly upfront either about what he is looking for.
He doesn’t like people and he has seems to have developed an even stronger dislike for other experiments, though why is unclear, he will claim it do to the fact that this whole ‘battle’ is their fault anyway and that they deserve what coming to them. at the same time he often claims that they aren’t really worth his time, this is probably closer to this real feelings. He would have nothing to do with any of it, if there wasn’t cash involved. He has no problem using and abusing someone if he feels that it will get him something he wants or needs. Cruel and somewhat harsh he isn’t the type of person most people want to deal with a majority of the time. he is a bit rude and has a bit of a sharp tongue though he tends to be coy about it. Unless you are used to him one often overlooks most of what he says as simply insane chatter, this includes his threats.
He avoids any form of real attachment and will often pull/run away from anyone he feels he is getting to close to. This can be anything from friends to more intimate relationships. To him such things are viewed as a sort of weakness as they can be held against him easily. The few relationships he does manage to gain are usually strange… and a bit quirky. With the few people he does let in past his walls are usually people who have no problem putting up with him and his odd behavior without taking it the wrong way. These are people that probably either understand his sense of humor or aren’t fazed by it. either way in his mind these few are priceless and he would do anything to protect them. they aren’t easy to find though and most either respond in one of two ways either by completely freaking our or by getting aggressive (which probably either has to do with him pissing them off or scaring them into a defensive mode) both of these reactions often just end up aggravating him and further proving to him that people aren’t worth his time.
He has a stubborn independent streak and isn’t the type that will work under anyone. He doesn’t take well to being ordered around and is likely to meet any such behavior somewhat violently. He gives his respect and loyalty to a select few. He is mainly only loyal to himself or cash (or whatever the form of payment is). Money speaks loudly for him and if one wants him to do as they ask it best to offer a very large price that won’t be over-bid. He has no problem turning on a client if someone else offers him more money to do so. He is rather clam individual and it takes a lot to push him to anger, but once one does he has a rather violent temper and he doesn’t think twice about putting someone in their place.
He is though when he wants to be good at playing ‘human’ or normal, which is what he does quiet often. He can slip into almost any form of ‘character’ he feels necessary. Though some roles can require more conscious effort then the other when he is in ‘character’ it hard to make him ‘step out’ of it unless he wants too. He’s good at reading people and is usually able to figure out how to go about getting what he wants. To those who don’t really know him he can come across as almost charming. When he wants he can come across as perfectly normal making people easily trust making his job easy.

Brief History:
Karol is a complicated individual who often proves difficult for most people to understand, his history is no different. He has a long and complicated past, which he would like to keep in the past and not talk about it. While he will not admit that he is truly bothered by the events that make up his life he still rather evasive when dealing with it, leaving much of his life a mystery to most people. Despite his avoidance of the topic his history is important to shaping him into who he is today
His father:
His father was born fifty-four years ago on, February 12, 1954 to a rich and influential family, in the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) in the country of Russia, to the name Isaak Mikhailevich Dyalov. Born only a year after Stalin’s death, he was born during the time of change in the government of USSR, as Russia entered a period of De-Stalinization, or a movement to eliminate Stalin’s rule. Also born only a year after the end of World War II, Isaak was born into the Cold War. In March of 1954, only a month after his birth the KGB or the Committee for State Security (in English) was formed. The KGB was the official name of the umbrella organization serving as the Soviet Union’s premier security agency, secret police, and intelligence agency. Not long after its formation, Isaak’s father was promoted to a member of the Second Chief Directorate, which was responsible for counter-intelligence and internal political control of citizens and foreigners in the Soviet Union.
Isaak, like his father and grandfather, was an intelligent individual, who was able to advance and finishes his studies early. In 1972 a little after his eighteen birthday Isaak sought a job as a scientist for the government. It was here that, due to his grades and his family’s history to the government that he was placed as one of the top scientist of what they called the Linsang Project. The Linsang project was a project designed to create genetically engineered weapons, their focus Chimeras, or human-animal hybrids. The project was started early on in the Cold War, as the Russian Government hoped to create top-level fighters. With the limited knowledge of how DNA worked the experiments were unsuccessful. It wasn’t until the mid 50’s with the discovery of the Genetic code that the project really seemed to become possible. Still they were proving to be years away from any success. By 1972 the cold war was seemingly beginning to die down, despite this the experiments were ordered to continue.
In 1975 the world’s first pregnancy by artificial means was produced, the pregnancy though proved to be entopic and had to be terminated, it was around this time that the first results from the project finally started happening. The results they got though were anything but successes. Babies were born deformed, missing limbs, missing organs, or otherwise couldn’t sustain life. It wasn’t until 1976, with the birth of a baby girl who had been infused with Chimp DNA that the project seemed to have reached success. With the girl proving the project to not be a waste, (even if she seemed to show no special abilities) the government took interest once more, funding the project to ensure that it would continue. From her they branched out in the type of Animal DNA used and in the next two years they produced about five more children (with many more having been either lost during pregnancy or born deformed).
The first batch though soon proved to be anything but the success they thought it was. Many of the children were showing signs of health issue then in the year 1979 a young boy who had been infused with ferret DNA, died of what appeared to be old age. The experiments that were alive were soon kept under watch, though most suffered the same faith. It wasn’t until later that year (1979) the first real successful experiment was born, a baby girl who had wolf DNA infused on her.
From there the experiments seemed to pick up and with the use of prisoners and a few chosen female participants, hybrids were being born. The results were far from consistent though and they only seemed to have a 45% live birth rate. Still they were producing live results.
With his work Isaak often seemed to lack time for much of an outside life, he often dedicated himself to doing the research. So it was a surprise to everyone around him when in late 1979 at the age of twenty five when he met Aleksandra, a childhood friend of his.
His mother:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
His mother was born fifty-two years ago on, January 4th, 1956. Like Karol’s father she was born to a rich and rather influential family in Soviet Russia to the name Aleksandra Makarovich Akimova. The oldest of six kids, she was often responsible for watching over the children, and doing other household chores, including helping cooking, at a very young age. Her father was a hard worker dedicated to his country and when she was only seven he was promoted to high government position. Due to the nature of his work her father was rarely around the house, instead her mother and later her was usually left with a house of screaming children for prolonged periods of time.
When Aleksandra was ten her mother died giving birth to her youngest brother, with her passing Aleksandra was expected to pick up her duties. The housework, watching the children, laundry, and other tasks her father saw as ‘woman’s duty’ was left to her. Most of the time Aleksandra was left alone during the day with the kids, her father only calling in his late wife’s sister when he was gone for more then one day. Though Aleksandra seemed to accept her duties as the oldest woman left in the house, she often seemed to want something more, or at least an escape now and then.
Despite this Aleksandra staid with her family, helping her father look after the house, raise the kids, and other such chores long after her eighteenth birthday. It wasn’t until 1979 when she was twenty three that she first showed signs of wanting to move out. By then, her youngest brother was thirteen and no longer needed her care.
His parents:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
His parents were childhood friend, having met through their father’s when Aleksandra was only three. Over the years thought he two slowly grew apart as their parents went different ways and by the time Aleksandra was ten she no long spoke to Isaak. It wasn’t until thirteen years later the two crossed paths again. Now back in each other lives the two hit it off, and a year later Isaak asked her to marry him, a move that surprised everyone that knew him. Isaak was never viewed as the marrying type, or husband material. Those around him described him as cold, cruel, and controlling, and it was often joked that he was married to his job. Still despite this, the two were married in early 1981. By December of the same year the ‘honey moon’ period seemed to be over, Isaak’s true colors started showing through.
He was a cruel man, controlling and borderline abusive, and he soon proved to have no problem using his wife to further his experiments. Using his wife as a ‘vessel’, he conducted a new line of experiments, trying to further integrate the animal DNA with that of the embryo’s trying to resulted in a more integrated hybrid with higher percentage of animal DNA. He wanted the resulting offspring to be 98% or so human in appearance with just the hint of physical traits of the animal (always subtle, the plan was for them to blend) though he wanted more of their abilities to show. Over the next six years or so his wife miscarried two of these experiments, two more didn’t take, and one was born deformed. It wasn’t until 1988 that the first success of these experiments were finally born.
Birth to three:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
He was born about twenty years ago on September 30th, 1988 to the name Karol Isaakovich Dyalov in USSR. He was the first living success of 2nd string of experiments, having been infused with tiger DNA before he was implanted in his mother. Upon his birth though nothing special was seen about him, no animal traits were seen. He was soon labeled a failure, even though he was alive and healthy.
Most children born with animal DNA who did survive were kept to the lab. This was done for a number of reasons, two of the most important reasons being, one, if the experiments were discovered things would get messy and two, they were further experimented on, tests run throughout their lives to see how they were developing. Those that ran into health issue do to the animal DNA were often disposed of. They were rarely viewed as anything more then experiments. Karol on the other hand, maybe due to the fact that he was actually the son of an experimenter was brought home. They disguised the move as another study, testing to see how the experiments were survive outside the lab setting.
Life wasn’t easy for Karol or his mother though. Not long after she brought him home he stared showing that he did indeed gain the ability that many experiments were observed as having, the ability to shift. This prevented them from leaving the house as anytime that Karol got overly stimulated, upset, or left hungry, he ended up shifting into the form of a white tiger. This also made feeding time harder as if Karol’s mother was quick enough in feeding she had a baby tiger to deal with instead of her son. Or whenever Karol was overtired he would end up shifting.
It wasn’t until he was about a year old that he finally seemed to start gaining some control over the ability he had. Shifting soon became more conscious, as he discovered that getting around in tiger form was much easier then his own human form. Though as he gained more and more control of his shifting ability the less he shifted accidentally, he now had more control of his ability and his emotions. Though this didn’t make things any easier on his mother. The poor woman had her hands full, as if raising a toddler wasn’t hard enough, having to constantly chase after a energetic wild cat was more then she really knew how to deal with.
This of course also stunted his progress to a degree when in human form. Due to being able to rely heavily on his cat form he didn’t need to get around in his normal form, as a result he didn’t take his first steps until he was nearly two. It was also this time that it became clear to his father that maybe he wasn’t as much as a failure in terms of the experiment after all. When his teeth started coming in for the fist time, it soon became clear that he had two tiny sets of fangs.
This of course also made things difficult, a teething baby is hard enough to deal with, now one that has such sharp and dangerous set growing in. On top of that he was also proving to have more of the grace and ability of his tiger form without having to shift. While all the experiments showed advanced abilities, Karol’s were beyond anything else that was really seen. The higher percentage of animal DNA also showed up in other ways. He had cravings for raw meet, urges to chase moving objects, and the smell of blood seemed to excite him.
Not long after his second birthday his father placed in a training program, now that Karol had complete control over his human form his father started training him in the art of battle. After all he was bred to be a weapon and therefore he didn’t really have time to be a child. Karol though seemed to see it as a game at first, which was fine by his father so long as he did as he was told with out arguing. Of course any argument or mistake was usually met violently. He had no patience for the childlike nature of his subjects.
Despite the fact that Karol was Isaak’s biological child, he seemed to take little interest in him outside an experiment or training sense. While he was interested in any change in him in the experimental sense he otherwise found the boy to be a nuisance. he often met the boy’s seemingly hyper and somewhat happy personality with violence. Despite the fact that he knew that one day the young boy would grow to be stronger then him.
In the late December of 1991, the Council of Republics of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, recognized the dissolution of the Soviet Union and dissolves itself. With this the USSR officially falls, something that was happening for years. With the USSR gone, the Cold War is over.
With the fall of the USSR a new government is put into place for Russia, the projects done under the old Government are disbanded. Despite this, interest in the Linsang Project remained high and soon the government reorganized it under the name of Leopon Project. Again Isaak was placed in top position due to his success in the past.
Four to five:[/u][/SIZE][/font]
The day of his fourth birthday came and went rather uneventfully. There was no party to celebrate the occasion though; there was barely any acknowledgement of the achievement. His mother was pregnant again and complications with the pregnancy had left her bed bound for most of the day. This often left Karol to his own devices and often ended with him getting into trouble. It wasn’t so much that he was a bad kid at this point, he was just curious. As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat, or in his case ‘killed the mother’. While he wasn’t meaning to be bad he got into everything. He just had to touch, especially if he was told that he shouldn’t touch it. Nothing seemed safe from him, if it was placed up high he would climb to retrieve it. it wasn’t long before anything of value, dangerous, or breakable was under lock and key. Of course this didn’t keep him from trouble, he was bored and he had little else to do with himself.
When night came though and his father returned, it was almost like Karol was a completely different person. The curiosity faded and so did the pent up energy. Suddenly he was serious and usually at attention, most of the time though he rather avoid his father. Escape the wrath he knew would end up being sent his way. On good days this worked, his father seeming to tired to pursue him. most of the time though his father sought him out, he had training to do, he couldn’t let him slack.
A few months after his birthday, in December of 1992 his mother went into labor. The labor was hard and long lasting for about two days, but on December 12th she gave birth to a young girl who she named Anastasiya Isaakovna Dyalova. The birth was premature by two and half months and the girl was small and frail looking. To help ensure her survival she was kept in the lab using ventilators to help in her breathing. It wasn’t until two months later that she was finally released from the lab. Sasha (as she was called) like her brother, was another one of Isaak’s experiments. Isaak had infused Snow Leopard DNA onto hers; again, he still sought after producing animal-like traits in the human form, something that he seemed too finally succeed at. While Sasha was mainly human looking, she did have small traits that marked her for what she was, her eyes were the light green to gray of the snow leopards, and she was fair skinned much like the snow leopard form. This marked the start of extensive research into creating more integrated human-animal hybrids. Isaak wanted to create the best weapon, a human with wings, with a full mouth of sharp fangs, with claws, anything that can be used as built in weapons.
Over the next year Karol did a lot of growing up. He no longer was the baby and it seemed this was enough to bring him down to earth. Maybe it was that he now had something to do as he seemed to dedicate himself to helping his mother with the raising of his sister. His sister soon proved to have many of the same abilities as him, though she seemed to have trouble holding the animal form for long periods of time, a fact that concerned Isaak. Such a trait wasn’t sought after, especially not with what they wanted to use them for. What was even worse a few other experiments were proving to lack the ability at all. Their father hoped that with training that Sasha would be able to better control and prolong her shifting and so his training of her began.
At the same time talk soon started about enrolling Karol in school. He was now five, school was fast approaching, and they needed to have him prepared. Dealing with him and school was not as simple as dealing with the average kid, there were precautions that needed to be taken, training that needed to be done. Over the next year Karol’s was badgered with what was and wasn’t acceptable in public. You do not shift in public or draw attention to any of the odd abilities the DNA provided. You are to act normal and not draw attention to yourself. This was the first time that Karol started to realize that he wasn’t normal. That not everyone had the same abilities he did and not everyone was so ready to accept it.
