Manticore
Name & Meaning: Manticore (Named after the mythological beast)
Symbol & Meaning: He does not have one yet
Species: Genetically Engineered Lion
Relationship: Rogue
Sex: Male, though he has some female traits and tendencies - as well as both sets of organs as a result of the heavy genetic engineering that went into him. He is predominantly male, even if he does have female organs as well.
Age:23 years
Rank: n/a
Mark: None yet
Sire: None - he was genetically engineered - a clone created in a artificial womb.
Dam: None, for same reason stated above
Siblings: None
Cubs: None
Unique Traits: Wings, strange colors, massive size (About twice the size of a regular lion)
Abilities: He has no special, magical abilities. Though he has a lot of brute strength, his mix of genes makes some things very hard for him. He does, though, have shocking cells along his sides where the stripes are, because the genes of an Electric Eel are in his mix.
Personality: He is always guarded and quiet. He doesn't speak much because he knows very little about how lions work. All he knows is that he was known as Manticore - so when meeting others that is what he introduces himself as. Though frightening looking, he's shy, and a bit timid.
Background Story: Many genes were taken and mixed with lion genes by a group of Scientists trying to create mythical beasts. He was considered a failed expiriment, because the scorpion DNA didn't show, and he didn't get the scorpion tail; the human DNA used only gave him uncommon intelligence and the ability to understand human speech and learn spoken language; but they didn't want to kill the beast; he was a big breakthrough in joining many different genetic sequences that are completely unlike eachother. The laboratory is hidden and secret since such levels of genetic manipulation is illegal.
He was cloned and raised up in an artificial womb, then handfed by the lab workers. As he got older, he got restless and curious, bored of the two-legged creatures who kept him in a small, glass enclosure.
But none of his escape attempts worked.
Then came the day that the lab was discovered, and all engineered animals ordered to be put to death. One of the female scientists felt bad for Manticore, and couldn't stand to see him killed. She let him go.
She told him he had to run, and stay as far away as any human as he could. She hoped animal instinct and the uncommon human intelligence he had gotten would help him survive.
The outside world was terrifying for him, and for a while he was unable to hunt; though, uncommon for a lion, he was able to eat plant-matter. The horns were engineered from an herbivore, giving him the ability to digest plants, even if they didn't taste very good.
But even with that, plants were not enough - they didn't provide everything he needed.
Finally, he figured out how to set traps and hunt.
And that was when he smelled others - others, somewhat like him.
Lions.
Will these lions accept him, or turn him away?
Other: Though he is winged, he can't fly. They aren't even big or strong enough to allow him to glide. He's not very coordinated with them, since his brain is not designed to control 6 limbs. They are just there, though he can raise them and spread them.
He's big, but not very coordinated. He can't retract his claws. He can understand human speech, but his mouth is not designed to form words. He can form some words - but actual speech is difficult for him. His mouth is beastlike - no human qualities there. Though he has both male and female organs, neither work. He is barren, sterile, and unable to reproduce.
