[Redemption]

[color=Sienna][size=1][b]Name:[/b] Brooke Hathorn

[b]Age:[/b] 29

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Place of Origin:[/b] A cattle station west of Quilpie, Queensland, Australia

[b]Known History:[/b] Brooke was born on the ?Hathorn Plains Cattle Station? with the aid of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Being a child of the bush, Brooke grew up to become very comfortable with all the highs and lows of living off the land. Her father was a black opal miner at Quilpie and her mother ran the station when her father was at work for months at a time. Her mother, Anne, taught her to ride a horse and muster cattle at an early age.

At the age of 6, Brooke started to go to school using the ?School of the Air?. The ?School of the Air? was a way that children in the outback could come in contact with teachers and other children in the outback via radio. She spent the next four years learning this way, as most children of the outback do.

When Brooke turned 10, her parents decided to take her to a boarding school in Charleville. There, she received what she called a ?city? education. It was very different from the ways she used to know and missed doing things like riding her horses and helping her mother with running the station.

Brooke finally graduated high-school with good marks. But, she didn?t want to study at university. Instead, she went back to ?Hathorn Plains? and helped her mother run the station.

This was all fine and dandy when an unfortunate incident happened. A minor tremor caused the mine that Brooke?s father was working in, to collapse. She and Anne heard the news that night when they had just sat down to dinner. They drove the hour to Quilpie and were greeted with the news that they had found her father, dead.

Since that day, Brooke has stayed on at ?Hathorn Plains? to one day take over the family property.

[b]Personality:[/b] As most Australian country folk are, Brooke has a well-rounded personality. She enjoys working hard and doesn?t mind a coldie at the end of the day. She?s been through some tough times on the station, which has made her appreciate the good times. Other than having a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour, which no one gets, Brooke keeps her mind on what needs to happen on station that day and the next.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Brooke has a well-weathered face with freckles dotting her cheeks. She has shoulder length, sun-bleached brown hair that?s nearly always hidden underneath an Akubra and clear blue eyes she inherited from her father. She normally wears a singlet or a t-shirt with long-legged jeans and Blundstones.

[b]Animal Genes:[/b] Inland Taipan (or the Fierce Snake) [There is a debate on its scientific name]

[b]Hybrid Traits:[/b]

[indent][i][b]Lethal Venom:[/b][/i] When threatened, Brooke will use her fingernails or teeth to inject a lethal dose of venom. The Inland Taipan?s venom is the most toxic in the world ? able to kill a man in 3 seconds.

[b][i]Enhanced Speed and Agility:[/i][/b] The Inland Taipan?s main food source is rodents. The snake needs to be quick to give the small mammal a lethal dose of venom. Brooke has inherited this agility and speed.[/indent][/color][/size]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]Name:[/B] Samantha Henderson

[B]Age: [/B]45

[B]Gender: [/B]Female

[B]Place of Origin: [/B]Dallas Texas USA

[B]Known History:[/B] During her senior year of High School Samantha met and fell in love with William Henderson a student at the local university. Shortly after Samantha graduated from High School they got married. Samantha worked while William finished getting his degree in computer science. Once William graduated they moved to Salt Lake City Utah where William had been offered a job.

In the next five years they had two children, Darren and Bethany. But shortly after Bethany was born William was involved in a fatal car crash that killed him instantly. With help from the state of Utah, Samantha went back to school and eventually got the education necessary in order to teach elementary school children.

Since then Samantha has worked hard to provide for her children. Although she was initially disappointed that Darren did not want more than being a construction worker, she is at least pleased that her children are working hard at providing a future for themselves.

Now with her two children in college Samantha is considering going back to school again as now that her own children are grown she is finding that she doesn?t really care for teaching.

[B]Personality:[/B] Initially Samantha was very outgoing and friendly, but since her husband?s death she?s been more solitary and withdrawn except where her kids are concerned. She?s fiercely protective of her kids and does her best to always be there for them. Her biggest drawback is that given a chance she will just stay home and never go out. Samantha dislikes being in large crowds, which is part of why she wants to quit teaching and do something else.

[B]Appearance: [/B]Though she is a good seven inches taller, Samantha looks just like her daughter Bethany. [URL=http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/5710/samantha015gz.jpg][U][COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]Picture[/B][/COLOR][/U][/URL] Though now that she is older she has cut her hair so it only falls past her shoulders and she?s got a few gray hairs starting to show up.

[B]Animal Genes: [/B][URL=http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5020/bobcat2gp.jpg] [U][COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]Bobcat[/B][/COLOR][/U] [/URL] (Felis rufus or Lynx rufus)

[B]Hybrid Abilities: [/B]

[B]Stalking:[/B] Like the Bobcat she is an excellent hunter and can stalk others with stealth and great patience. Her greatest ability is to get quite close to another person without them realizing that she is there.

[B]Climbing:[/B] Although she does not have claws, her nails are far more durable than a human?s and it makes it easier for her to climb up stuff since they do not break easily. Though it?s useless on smooth surfaces where there is nothing to grip.

[B]Hearing:[/B] Though not as impressive as a true Bobcat, she has a much better hearing range than regular humans. The drawback to this is she is sensitive to high-pitched noises as ones high enough and loud enough is very painful.


[B]OOC:[/B] Aaryanna and Indifference persuaded me to join as another member of the same family. ;)[/COLOR]

He still lives there to this day. [img]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/7448/history7qi.jpg[/img] Turk Marley?s life hasn?t always treated him fairly. He?s tended to be the ant under the magnifying glass and whatever dreams he may have had were burnt away. His mother left shortly after giving birth to him and he was left with his father, who wasn?t always the best role model. Nevertheless, his father was probably the best part of his life. His father taught him everything, including how to use an assortment of weapons. It came to be that Turk?s father, Royce Marley, was enlisted into the army. He became very familiar with all sorts of combat. As such, when Turk was old enough, Royce taught his son most of the things he knew. When Royce returned from the army that one Summer day, he opened a pawn shop in his town in Rum Cay. He sold varieties of arms as well as every day trinkets. Not too long after it was opened, Turk was born. As life went on, Turk became acquainted with several styles of fighting and how to use every weapon in his father?s shop. It wasn?t as if he really needed to know anything about what he had learned. It was just his father?s way. He was also very fond of swimming and his father was an expert swimmer. It wasn?t long before he could do plenty of the water tricks his father could. But times were growing bad. When Turk was eighteen, his father was arrested for illegal drug selling. Turk was left with the shop and to fend on his own. His father drank and Turk was a lot like his father, so it was no surprise he took to the bottle after things grew rough. Before long, Turk was an alcoholic and was consistently intoxicated, even in the morning. Eventually, hangovers didn?t phase him, women didn?t please him, and managing the pawn shop didn?t matter to him. Six years of it almost caused him to go out of business three times. Turk was at the bottom of the chart and he wasn?t going to be climbing it any time soon. Not even his interest in swimming or weaponry kept him busy. For all anyone knew, he probably lost all memory of how to swing a sword or fire a rifle. The last time he was on his small island of Rum Cay was a night he passed out in the streets and they found him? [img]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/845/personality1cv.jpg[/img] After hitting rock bottom, he took to a pretty glum outlook on life. He?s not a violent drunk or loud and obnoxious. He?s quiet and does things on his own. He?s more often drunk than sober that most have forgotten how he used to be. But since his life hasn?t really gotten any better, they presume he?d be just as miserable as he is drunk. [img]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/308/appearance2qq.jpg[/img] [img]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/4722/turkpic9sw.jpg[/img] Turk is a tall fellow of 6?4? and carries himself at 190 pounds. Despite not looking it, he is decent in strength. He rarely bothers cutting his long hair, which tends to mat on occasion. He?s more often unshaven than not and tends to have dark rings around his eyes from all the liquor he consumes. His clothes are either raggedy button-up shirts with regular jeans or just some regular island-wear (like shorts and a palm tree t-shirt). He slouches a lot and tends to wear a grimace across his face. He?ll usually have liquor handy (and always has his flask) and will be intoxicated for at least fifteen of the twenty-four hours in a day. [img]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/6610/animalgenes2sf.jpg[/img] Barracuda (sphyraena Sphyraenidae) [img]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2356/hybridabilities1wl.jpg[/img] [list][*]Turk has the ability to breathe anywhere due to his lungs and gift of gills. Though the gills only really emerge when in use, they are still quite handy in case someone tries drowning him. Tests have not been concluded if he may breathe in space. [*]Naturally being crossed with a fish, Turk has acquired excellent swimming abilities. He can maneuver quickly through water. Since water is more difficult to travel through, his agility and speed is increased even on land. [*]Turk is able to take in toxins and not be affected by it. Whether it?s fatal poison or not, he will not receive the side effects of it. Nevertheless, he will feel harsh pains occasionally due to the poisons still being in his body. Other than that, they are harmless.[/list]

[color=navy][font="]
Known History: Aaron was born in a one bedroom high rise apartment in [/font][/color][color=navy][font="]Brooklyn[/font][/color][color=navy][font="]. He was generally a happy child, despite having to force himself to sleep through the huge fights that his mother and drunken father went through. When Aaron was six, the screaming and the bruises finally became too much for his mother and they escaped to Aaron?s grandmothers' house in [/font][/color][color=navy][font="]Newark[/font][/color][color=navy][font="], [/font][/color][color=navy][font="]New Jersey[/font][/color][color=navy][font="]. They were happy there; his mother no longer had to worry about welts or broken bones and to find new excuses for them. Aaron was finally able to make friends in school and in the neighborhood. He was quite likeable, so it wasn?t uncommon for him to come home with eight or nine other ice cream stained faces.[/font][/color]

[color=navy][font="]Aaron?s closest friend was a girl named Sarah. She was the only child of his family?s next door neighbors. From day one the two of them were inseparable; they hung out together inside and outside of school, and they even dated for a short spell in middle school. She moved away the day before high school started, but the two of them still stay in contact.[/font][/color]

[color=navy][font="]At the age of nineteen he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that would leave him blind before he reached full adulthood. Despite this, Aaron completed college and received his teaching degree. He now teaches Braille in an elementary school in [/font][/color][color=navy][font="]Trenton[/font][/color][color=navy][font="].

[u]Personality[/u]: Aaron is a strangely happy person. He?s not overly giddy, but you can?t help but smile when you?re around him. He can?t stand to see people getting hurt, and will often blame himself even if he only wasn?t truly involved in what happened.

[u]Appearance[/u]: [url="http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/4177/a0008948115921911dn.jpg"][color=navy]Here[/color][/url]. Aaron usually wears sunglasses in order to protect his poor vision from deteriorating further. There are three very subtle lines, about four inches long, on either side of his neck.

[u]Hybrid Abilities[/u]:
[u]Bioelectricity[/u]: Aaron can generate an electric pulse of up to 1000 volts, although only through direct contact. In cases of extreme distress, he has been able to generate an electric field, but the voltage is nowhere near as high.
[u]Enhanced Respiratory System[/u]: In addition to lungs, Aaron has three pairs of gills located on either side of his neck which allow him to survive underwater for up to three hours without needing to take another breath.
[u]Highly Developed Sense of Hearing[/u]: While under water, Aaron's hearing ability becomes several times better than what a normal human being's would be in open air. On land his hearing is still above average, but this may be a byproduct of his years of living without vision instead of his hybrid abilities.[/font][/color]

[b]Name:[/b] Sonja Breck

[b]Age:[/b] 34

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Place of Origin:[/b] Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

[b]Known History:[/b]

Sonja Breck was a single, widowed mother of two living, all her life, in Vancouver, Canada. She was an only child, and had been labled a "child prodigy." Sonja had been going to school to become a University Professer of Etymology. She met her husband, Kurt, while at school. They were set up on a blind date, and hit it off. Three years later, during her University Graduation, Kurt poped "the question." She of course said yes, and they got married not more than six months later. She turned twenty-eight a week after her wedding.

Two years later, when both Sonja and Kurt where secure in life, they decided to start a family. Their two girls, Dana and Erica, were born, and became the light of their life. As fate would have it, Kurt had died in a car accident only one year after their children were born. Sonja was devistated by this, but with her twin girls, she managed to live through it.

With the help of her family, she continued with her life. Her girls and teaching became the only things that mattered. She attempted to continue dating, but it didn't seem to interest her any. "It's too soon" she said, as it most likely was.

However, she did seem to click with one guy in particular, Dean. He was involved with genetics, and this had always interested Sonja. One day, she was approached by Dean concerning some genetic procedures that had been up and coming; splicing animal genes with humans. He told her that, if aggreed, she would be paid an unimaginable sum.

Sonja was shocked that Dean would even suggest such a thing, and told him such...as well as where to go. With that, she cemented her decision to keep out of the dating scene and concentrate on her children and occupation.

She had gone to her mother's house to pick up Dana and Erica, then returned home. Upon entering, she discovered her house in disarray. Sitting on her couch was Dean, along with two burly men. Sonja asked, yelled rather, what they where doing, and why they were in her house. "That wasn't an offer, Sonja..." Dean said, standing and smiling maliciously. The two men grabbed ahold of Sonja, fending off her desperate struggles and those of her girls, who started to cry. Dean walked over, pulled out a needle, smiled. He grabbed Sonja's face and roughly turned it to the side, then injected the sedative into her neck. The last thing Sonja remembered was the crying of her precious children, and her own unearthly scream.

[b]Personality:[/b] Sonja is an average Professor: harsh, anylitical, oppinionated. Yet, she has a soft side, centered around her children. In fact, she has a special connection with all children. Other than that, she generally voices her oppinions to whoever will listen, but tends to keep her feelings under-wrap.

[b]Appearance:[/b] [URL=http://www.asf.com/support/plugins/samples/digitalgem/woman.jpg][b]Sonja[/b][/URL] but she had deep red hair, and yellow eyes.


[b]Animal Genes:[/b] Indian Flying Fox (Pteropus Giganteus)

[b]Hybrid Abilities:[/b]

[i]Ecolocation[/i] ~ Sonja is capable of locating objects in the dark or in water by rendering an image of surroundings in her mind using sound waves. The range is limited only by walls or other large objects, as well as the distance of the object from Sonja.

[i]Hightened Sight[/i] ~ (Self-explanatory, but I'll elaborate anyway) Sonja has excelent sight. She can see just as well at night as in the day. The only drawback from this is the need to wear sunglasses on bright days, as the sun could severly damage her eyes.

[i]Greater Agility[/i] ~ Sonja has better agility than most "normal" humans. When falling from heights, for example, she can twist her body around to the perfect position so as not to injure herself.

[U]Known History[/U]: Birky lived in the small English village of Balgdon with her ma, pa, four brothers and older sister until she was 12 years old. Her father owned the local grocery store and her mother worked in the local branch of the ____ bank. All was well until it was discovered that Birky's younger brother Devon had leukemia, forcing the family to move somewhere closer to a hospital. Birkita's mother was offered a position by the bank in London so that's where the family moved to. Her father used the proceeds from the sale of his grocery store to buy a small hole-in-the-wall newsagency. While at first Birky hated London with a passion, she has since grown fond of it in the years she has been living there.

[U]Hybrid Traits[/U]:
[I]Increased muscular power[/I]- Once angered, a beaver is a tough opponent as its body is designed to be as strong and flexible as possible

[SIZE=1]Name: Amber Ubry

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Place of Origin: San Francisco, California

[U][SIZE=2]Known History[/SIZE][/U]

Colorblind at birth, Amber grew up with her younger sister and bickering parents, whom she moved with from Texas (her birth state) to Maryland, then Pennsylvania, where she stayed for the majority of her childhood. In third grade, her social valor deflated; she was teased constantly by an older threesome of boys. One day, she made a new friend, George, whom had chased away the group and reported when they physically abused her. Although Amber became incurably shy, she was overjoyed to have George with her throughout elementary school.

Unfortunately, Amber?s timidity swelled after her parents? divorce and departure from George. Forced to live with her father and sister, she moved yet again to a quieter location in Texas, not far from her birth town. Here, she met a group of neighborhood friends, whom helped her unleash her love for mysteries and strategy games. As the super sleuths grew older, it was Amber?s turn to become abandoned. The six of her friends had either moved or found new companions, leaving her to face the transition of middle school to high school on her own. This, however, stirred her passion for the arts: she wrote stories, and even began illustration, which won her recognition from an art university. After graduation, she attended the school, moving to San Francisco and leaving her old life behind.

A fresh start meant a fresh face. During her start of college, Amber shed her bashful skin, blooming into ?the curious kid.? Fellow students loved her for this, two of which becoming her best friends throughout their college days.

She couldn?t tell green from blue, or red from purple, and the rainbows she spotted after storms were meaningless to her- but she managed. Evolving from a simpleton to a spontaneously sassy singleton, Amber completed her MFA in illustration, inspiring younger students with her potential, despite her minor disability. Ending the chapter of her young adulthood, Amber continued to work in a small flower shop with her treasured friends, where she had begun work after moving. Progressively, the store turned into an art shop, instead.

[U][SIZE=2]Personality[/SIZE][/U]

Having the tendency to dart through numerous possibilities and ideas, Amber adores strategic fixations, riddles, and codes. If flustered, her stubbornness is triggered, which sometimes distracts her from the big picture. Even so, she refuses to give up until she has an answer. If she [i]is[/i] forced to see no other option, she will back out defeatedly, without further argument.

When faced with a decision, Amber?s mind usually hovers over her thoughts?a trait that she will always sport. She despises having to make a choice without reviewing facts, miniscule or not, making her a developed listener. Amber is usually an open book, as well. Her spicy ?and sometimes seasoned- optimism is what she presents the most. It is common to see her humming, as well.

[U][SIZE=2]Appearance[/SIZE][/U]

An eating disorder consuming the majority of her teenage years, Amber stands at 5?6, and weighs at an estimated 110 lbs. Her skin is relatively light, as she tends to stick to shady places. Her amber colored locks grow back at an annoyingly fast pace; thus, she keeps it mildly above the shoulders, and loose. The trait that tends to pop out most to others is Amber?s eyes, which are large, bright and gray.

Her attire, which circles around casual, is always tagged with some sort of necklace or bracelet. She loves to capture the light within particular jewels.

[[URL=http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4443/327528200604011458290ov.jpg]This[/URL] is a relatively decent picture of Amber (it isn't really her, though). Of course, subtract the estranged oxygen mask. I'll draw up a new picture of the real Amber soon.]

[SIZE=2]Animal Genes: [/SIZE] [URL=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Sympetrum_flaveolum_-_side_%28aka%29.jpg/800px-Sympetrum_flaveolum_-_side_%28aka%29.jpg]Yellow-Winged Darter[/URL] (Sympetrum Flaveolum) [ Dragonfly ]

[U][SIZE=2]Hybrid Abilities[/SIZE][/U]

[b]Flight:[/b] Akin to a removable tattoo, Amber harbors transparent, filmy wings that "glue" against her back in dormancy. When the time calls for so, the wings separate from her normal skin, allowing Amber to soar at speeds up to 60 MPH (the breaking limit). Due to immaturity, she is only able to fly for an hour at most. This time limit is hindered when Amber carries heavy items in her arms.

[b]Motion Camouflage:[/b] Like the dragonfly, Amber is able to project herself as a stationary object while swiftly attacking her enemies. This ability is exceptionally useful in aerial combat. Oddly, it is useless when she attempts to flee.

[b]Ommatidium:[/b] Amber?s large eyes contain 15,000 facets (eye units) each, embedded under the cornea. This enables her to effortlessly detect movement and light waves, despite her poor color resolution.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Caden Horley

[B]Age:[/B] 28

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Place of Origin:[/B] Chicago, Illinois of the former U.S.A.

[B]Known History:[/B] Caden was born into a usual 20th century middle class family. His mother worked as a RN at an inner-city nursing home and his father was a sales rep. for a fast food chain. Life wasn't that bad and Caden was always taught by his parents to be kind and not to pre-judge people. He lived by those rules all his life.

When he enrolled in High School he tried out for the school track team and made the cut. During all four years he was on the team and was one of the team's greatest sprinters and relay race runners. During his senior year he started dating a new transfer student and the two were inseperable. They went practically everywhere together. Caden's parents were glad that their son was happy with this girl. When Caden found out that they both would be attending college together he couldn't have been happier.

College was a totally different experience. The classes were harder, time seemed to fly by faster and being on the track team seemed to take more time away from Caden. He and his girlfriend basically got to only see each other during the weekends, of course this was only the first year. The rest of Caden's years at college weren't as hectic and his full time job as a secretary at an office was paying decently. Finally during thier last year of college together Caden finally proposed to his girlfriend and she accepted. They both told their parents and they were married after they graduated from college. Caden getting his masters degree in High School education and his wife with a Masters in Biology.

Right after they returned from their honeymoon Caden was offered a job at his old High School. He accepted it and started work immediately. However at this time Caden had started to hear about things called Hybrids but he really wasn't focused on that. He was more enthralled with his new life. One December evening he and his wife went to sleep together except when Caden woke up he was not home in his bed but instead was in a totally different place with a small note welcoming him to Paris 2.

[B]Personality:[/B] Caden is a pretty humble kind of guy. He never pre-judges anyone and always believes there is some kind of good in everyone. However if someone has really ticked him off they'll know it but not because he yells at them or hits them. He just gets really quiet and seems to emit a kind of feeling that sends a shiver down your spine. But generally hes a nice guy to get along with.

[B]Appearence:[/B] Caden stands about 6' 3" and is decently muscled with a dark tan from those years of running. Some people think he looks a little lanky because he's not extremely muscled. His hair is a light brown and his eyes are an emerald green. He usually wears a pair of jeans with a Polo like shirt or a pair of shorts with a T-shirt.

[B]Animal Genes:[/B] Arabian Horse

[B]Hybrid Abilities[/B]

[B]Strong Endurance:[/B] Ignoring his light frame, Caden is able to carry a slightly larger amount of weight than some other people. This is due to the Arabian being able to carry large weights despite their small frame.

[B]Faster Running Speeds:[/B] Caden is able to run faster, at about twenty-five miles per hour Caden is capable of holding this speed for about an hour.

[B]Quicker Reflexes:[/B] Like the Arabian, Caden has higher reflexes than most people and is able to even manuver while he is running at his top speed.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[b]Name:[/b] Lucas Ansel [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Place of Origin:[/b] Marseille, France. [b]Known History:[/b] Lucas grew up in the lush Marseille countryside, with his mother, father and brother. From an early age, Lucas exhibited an active imagination; he was popular at school and constantly found new ways to entertain himself and his friends. Unfortunately, as a result of his active imagination, Lucas was rarely able to concentrate on schoolwork, finding it to be stale and unchallenging. After graduating high school, Lucas decided to move to the big city - Paris - to find inspiration. While studying art history, Lucas managed to gain internships with several major museums in the city, including the prestigious Louvre. Unfortunately, Lucas was never able to finish his studies or realize his dream of working within a major museum. Once the Coma set in, his life - as well as the lives of many of his contemporaries - was to be changed forever. [b]Personality:[/b] In many respects, Lucas is a traditional artist - quiet, thoughtful, introspective and curious. At times Lucas can be [i]too[/i] introspective, spending a lot of time analyzing himself and others. At times Lucas feels incomplete as a result of missing his family and having no lover to speak of, but his imagination allows him to occupy himself without becoming too dependent on others. [b]Appearance:[/b] [center][img]http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/3575/sample1ub.jpg[/img][/center] (Please note that this picture shows Lucas with wings unfurled; when retracted, there is no trace of wings on his body - he does not, for example, have any visible ridges on his shoulderblades). [b]Animal Genes:[/b] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin"]Griffin[/url]: "The griffin's dual nature led it to be associated with Jesus Christ, God and man, king of heaven and earth. The eagle half of the griffin signified Christ's divinity and the lion half represented His humanity. Because no one could block the path of a griffin, this creature was especially associated with that passage in the Gospel which records Christ's marvelous passage through the crowd at Nazareth who were determined to throw Him off a cliff (Luke 4:28-30). During the Middle Ages, griffins were symbols of Christ's resurrection. The strength of the lion and the wisdom of the eagle combined in the griffin symbolized the strength and wisdom of God." [b]Hybrid Abilities:[/b] [b]Divine Flight:[/b] Lucas has the ability to rapidly unsheath his wings and lift-off from the ground on the spot. He is capable of flying long distances and is highly mobile in the air. [b]Divine Strength:[/b] The Griffon is itself a combination eagle and lion - it is therefor a hybrid in and of itself. Just as Lucas can fly, he also maintains the strength of the Griffon - Lucas' body posesses strength beyond most men, which allows him to lift heavier objects, jump higher, run faster and accept more physical damage than the average man. However, it is important to note that the lion aspect is only one half of the Griffon - therefore, the lion does not permeate the Griffon's abilities completely. As a result, Lucas can only employ Divine Strength at certain intervals and for limited lengths of time. He is still mortal and is more than capable of being fatally wounded. [b]Divine Wisdom:[/b] One of the most important aspects of the Griffon - its third and final pillar - relates to its incredible wisdom. In Lucas' case, this can most basically be described as a variety of psychic abilities. Lucas has the ability to interpret thoughts and see situations from a variety of angles. With sufficient effort, Lucas can also "break into" the mind of another person - though this can be a dangerous practice at the best of times. Divine Wisdom is perhaps the most mysterious of Lucas' abilities and he is barely aware of it himself. It is a skill that can only develop through practice and great care - unfortunately Lucas does not yet have the ability to correctly harness this capability to its fullest extent.
