The character sheet would look something like this. Should give you guys a better idea of what I mean by enhanced animals. 

[center][b][u]Species Sheet[/b][/u][/center]

[u][center][i]Species[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Choose any real world animal, preferably a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrates]vertebrate[/url]. I would advise against fish, or other water-based creatures, due to the obvious restrictions placed on them by their dependence on bodies of water. However, if you really want be Jaws, then I guess we can work something out.

I expect you to know the ins and outs of your chosen species. I don’t mean on an expert level, but just enough that you don’t go making any glaring errors regarding their anatomy.[/center]

[u][center][i]Name[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Whether or not your creature starts off with a name is up to you. All animals start with a human-level intelligence by default, but how your chosen species refers to themselves individually is ultimately up to you. 

Alternatively, your captors may have given you a name, and your animal has accepted it.

If you don’t want to start with a name, then simply put what you want other players to refer to your animal as. I.e, “Grey Wolf” for a grey wolf.[/center]

[u][center][i]Age[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Leave enough tread on the tyres, because your animal needs to live for a few years at least. [/center]

[u][center][i]Gender[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Male or female? Or both? :O[/center]

[u][center][i]Physical Description [/i][/center][/u]

[center]Ideally a picture if you’ve chosen an obscure species. However, text will suffice if needs be.[/center]

[u][center][i]Genetic Attribute (Optional) [/i][/center][/u]

[center]Your animal was spawned in a test tube, and genetically altered by the greatest minds of science. What were they trying to achieve? An example would be, increased hearing, speed, lifespan, strength, immune system – the list is endless really. Treat this as your animal’s “super power”. 

Choose one. [/center]

[u][center][i]Genetic Defect (If chosen to have a Genetic Attribute) [/i][/center][/u]

[center]In giving you your genetic blessing, the scientists also took something from you. What was it?

This is the reverse of ‘Genetic Attribute’, choose something that your animal suffers from. I.e reduced lifespan? Arthritis? Cancer prone? Weak immune system? Weak heart? Infertility? Deafness? Blindness? Something that will present a weakness. Treat this as your animal’s “kryptonite”.[/center]

[u][center][i]Bionic Attribute (Optional)[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Maybe whilst those scientists were messing around with your DNA, they hatched plans to alter you through more direct means? 

Examples: Ocular implants for seeing in the dark/seeing further, hearing implants for increased sound detection, bone supports for increased strength and resilience – a pace maker for those dastardly times you get cattle prodded? 

Choose one.[/center]

[u][center][i]Bionic Side Effect (If chosen to have Bionic Attribute)[/i][/center][/u]

[center]Those artificial, foreign objects implanted in your animal’s body are causing grief. What problem do they pose?

Examples: Prone to infection, tendency to interfere with senses, constant pain, body vulnerable at area of implant, vulnerable to electrical interference etc. [/center]

[u][center][i]History[/i][/center][/u]

[center]What history? You're an animal, bred for experiments and locked in a cage for your entire life. Time slowly passed you by, as you observed your tormentors through steel bars; watching, waiting for the day you could rip their throats from them... or maybe you just really wanted that steak they kept dangling over you.[/center]
