We all know that in Animorphs #1 Jake walks into the construction site along with his best friend, his cousin, the girl he has a crush on and a guy he barely knows. So with that in mind, who would be in your Animorph team? (Feel free to switch genders of people as appropriate)
Mike's Animorphs Team:
Best friend: Dan. He's been my best friend for over a decade now and lives less than five minutes away from me. He's smart, slightly cynical and funny.
Cousin: I have two cousins, both male, who live about an hour's drive away. They're nice guys, but I don't know them very well anymore. If I had to pick one of them, I'd say Jonathan as he's closer to my age (less than a year older than me) and he's fluent in about nine languages now I think. Besides that I don't know if he has any useful skills.
Crush: That could be difficult as I don't have a specific crush right now, although there are a few girls I do like, most of them have boyfriends. I won't say any names on the off chance that one of them is reading this!
Guy I barely know: Owen. He's a friend of a friend that I've met a few times who seems to share some of my hobbies.
-
Best friend: Name is Keith. He lives in America. He biked to school so I guess that's how we knew each other, that and he was in my class.
Cousin: I don't know how many cousins I have. I have at least 4 I know that. One's female from my dad's side. the other three are males from my mom's side. And all of them are not near my age. they're way closer to my sister's age. I think I also have another cousin, but I think he's less than 6 years old, and I believe he's currently living in Canada. No names because I actually don't know they're names.
Crush: There was this one girl I had a crush on when I went to school in Guangzhou. Highly doubt she liked me though.
guy I barely know: the guy next door.
-
Does it have to be in those categories? If so,
BEST FRIEND: Clint. Impossible to embarris, with a sense of humor to rival Marco's. He's actually a year younger than me, and has been one of my best friends since we took Theatre I together (it was nothing more then a filler class for me).
COUSIN: I have a plethora of maternal cousins (I have never met any of my paternal ones, if I have any). But I'd probably pick Wesley, a rather leonine person and one I think I would depend on . . . if my grandmother hadn't told his family sobstories that show me in a bad light (I don't have any proof of this, but I believe this to be so).
CRUSH: Amanda. She's actually married now, but I still hold a torch that I tried to douse many times but failed. First love, too.
GUY I BARELY KNOW: There really isn't a guy from my old school (unless he was in a lower grade level).
Best friend: Name is Keith. He lives in America. He biked to school so I guess that's how we knew each other, that and he was in my class.
Is his nickname "Bandit"? (Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged reference) ;)
-
Best Friend: My best friend Joe. I've known him since 1st grade. He's actually a lot like Marco.
Cousin: My cousin Chris. He's my age and, though he's got A.D.H.D. so he's a little crazy and impulsive. Might be hard to deal with...
Crush: I don't really have a crush. but, I guess I can pick a friend that's a girl...Um...Can't really think of any. :P
Guy I Barely know: This kid in a couple of my classes...Charles.
-
I'll take a shot at this.
Best Friend: Hmm, kind of tough. I have my friend Jeffrey who is very intelligent, which is very helpful, and my friend Michael who is kind of military oriented (is our schools ROTC program) but a bit gun-hoish at times. I think I'll take Jeffrey
Cousin: Uh, well, personally, I don't have any cousins that I would want on my team. Either way to young (elementary school kids) or probably not the most dependable (teenage 'emo'ish girl *shudders*). So I'll fill this role in with another relative; my brother. Sure, he can be an idiot at times, but he does have that brute strength factor (he'll be our Racheal XD).
Crush: Yeah, don't really have any crushes, and the small ones I do have I'll admit I wouldn't want on my team that much. So let's just insert some standard tomboyish girl or something here that I'd gain a crush on eventually.
Guy I Barely Know: I'll admit that if I didn't know the person that well I wouldn't want them on my team. But since I need to do so to fit the group dynamics...crap, can't think of anyone. The few people who might work for this I know enough about to not want them on my team. Not the best behaved people. Can I just have Tobias, please *puppy eyes* (yes, I'm not afraid to use them). We'll just say the Ellimist did it or something.
-
Best Friend:My best friend Chari would probably scream alot, but would be loyal, plus she's athletic.
Cousin: Kenny, even tho he's like 10 years older then me, he's the one who got me reading the books.
Crush: My kinda boyfriend Dave, he's also in lots of sports and is always cracking jokes.
Guy (Girl) I Barely know: Woot girl power! A friend who just moved in down the block Ashley.
-
Mike's Animorphs Team:
Best friend: Savannah : She's funny, we get along well together, and shes strongwilled.
Cousin: I have cousins, but I dont always get along with them well. I'd probably have to choose Bradley, as I get along with him but dont see him too often.
Crush: IU have to echo Pheonix "That could be difficult as I don't have a specific crush right now"
However, if I had to choose, I'd probably choose this girl I like from when I worked at a camp, Jessie, shes strong, sincere, and always knows whats right.
Guy I barely know: Probably Dakota, as he has a reputation for Integrity.
-
Best friend: This kid in my engineering class. Bloody genious and amicable guy
Cousin: None, so I'm up a creek there...
Crush: This girl in my school who is rather attractive and seems kinda preppy sorority girl, but def has something underneath
Guy I barely know: I dunno, I don't know him that well.
-
Best Friend: Izy. She's a bit like Rachel, in the sense that she's crazy and sort of violent, but she's also like Cassie, because she loves nature, and understands people in a way that most others don't. I definitely think she'd be good on the team.
Cousin: Um... My cousins live all the way across the US. I don't really know any of them. The one I know most is about two years older than me. From what I remember, she's got a casual, laid-back attitude. She's into goth/punk style clothing, music, ect. Don't know much else about her.
Crush: This girl who used to go to my school, M. She was very friendly, had a good sense of humor, also very intelligent. I think she would have been great for coming up with plans.
Guy I barely know: He's friends with my best friend. I think they go to the same church. I don't know. Judging by his behavior when I have seen him, I think he'd be good for the team.
-
I can't easily imagine my friends become an Animorphs team ^_^' If there were a zombe attack, they'd run to find me ^_^' (one of them said that she'd be in my group and nowhere else in a case of zombie attack... is it truly a compliment?)
Anyway...
Best friend: She'd probably stay close to me and ask everytimes what happens =_=' But she'd probably stay with me everytimes, even with the eyes closed to not see blood, fingers in ears to not hear screams... well, the way she has to watch horror movies ^_^'
Cousin? I have cousins? I don't really know them...
So I'll put another friend in this part: my best zombie(-games)-lover friend would be a good help ;)
Crush: hum... one of my ex-boyfriends or a good friend who loved me during 3 years without tell me... They're rolists, and good with computers...
Bestfriend's friend: ohoh... not a good idea ^_^' I think they'd be like my bestfriend...
Edit: I forgot to put their names, so I do it now...
Best friend: Senem; best zombie(-games)-lover friend: Ben; Ex-boyfriends/friend in love: Flo' and Erwan; Bestfriend's friend: I can't remember any name ^_^'
-

Uh...yes. I think. It's not an insult at least...

Uh...yes. I think. It's not an insult at least...
lol not an insult... I think they just see me like a kind of Rachel ^_^'
But it's hard to imagine my friends and me as "Animorphs who fight aliens"... Some of them could do it, but the others... it's just not their life, not their kind of life... they're passific ^_^
The ex-boyfriend I talked about was more stressed watching an horror movie than me! (he hurt my wrist and jumped sometimes in the cinema... ^_^' strong man!). A few of my friends are afraid during the horror movies or the survival-horror games... Once, after we saw The Grudge 2 together, I make one of them scream very loudly in a big shop!! lol!! It was too funny, but it's too explain: how do you think they'd act if they saw an aircraft or an alien? I fthink many of them would just run away ^_^' and I'd stay alone in front of the alien: "hey, visitor... please excuse my friends and let's talk together" ^_^' It'd be funny... but I think it isn't so easy to have a so good team... Animorphs team, Jake, Rachel, Marco, Tobias, Cassie and Ax, is very strong, because nobody ran away, and they decided to fight... How many people around you and me would do the same? ^_^'
Hey, why not ask people you say (friends, cousins etc.) what they think about? ;)
-
Best Friend: Probably Laura. I've known her since I was about 6 and she's hilarious just like Marco. She does alot of crazy things too (bonus!)
Cousin: Nicholas, but he lives in California. He's one year younger and totally awesome. Definately not as crazy as Rachel. (ok, he's my 3rd cousin, but it still counts!)
Crush: Well there's this girl on my softball team I kinda like. I don't know her really well...but Jake didn't know Cassie very well either.
Guy I barely know: Maybe Konrad...I don't really know him.

So many zombies as of late...
-

Hey, why not ask people you say (friends, cousins etc.) what they think about? ;)
Actually...I can think of quite a few people who would probably stick around when it came right down to it...
And most of them would think I was crazy and wouldn't understand...
-
Russell's animorphs team
Best friend: my friend gunnar, hes American as apple pie and muscle cars, we've known each other a while now and like a lot of the same stuff, he would be scared as hell of morphing but would be a good fighter
Cousin: I guess my Cousin Kristi would be my cousin, shes pretty like Rachel but would probably end up more like a Cassie character, shes getting married soon and would probably be a crappy animorph.
Crush: My Spanish teacher? I giggle and blush when I see her, but I don't really know her so...
Guy I barley know: umm Chris from my work? Hes pretty cool, not really like Tobias at all but who knows.
-
Estelore's Animorphs Team:
Best Friend: Robin. She is bloody insane, but I'd hate to be on the opposite side of a fight with her.
Crush: Orlando Bloom. Heeheehee >:D Or this one guy that I'm not naming. He's awfully clever, but not very agressive. Cassie-esque.
Cousin: Leah, on the grounds that she is totally out of her mind. If I wanted a sane cousin, I'd go with Emily or Bethany. They are REALLY athletic, so they'd have a fighting chance. Or Steven, who rides dirt-bikes and has no self-preservation instincts.
Unknown Entity: Probably Liz, who is smart-mellow-and-an-outcast. She seems nice, but focused.
-
Crush: Orlando Bloom. Heeheehee >:D Or this one guy that I'm not naming. He's awfully clever, but not very agressive. Cassie-esque.
Pirate/Elf/Animorph.
Awesome.
-
TOTALLY! ;D
-
Toby Hamee's animorphs team
Best friend: My best friend Liz would fit the part pretty well. She's really funny and outgoing.
Cousin: I'd have pick my cousin Nick. He's actually a lot like Jake's character. He's fairly tall, and is the same age as me so we would work well together on a team. He's also fun to hang with and I could see him as being the responsible type... I guess, lol. Although he plays soccer, not basketball and he doesn't have an big bro, but he can share mine. ;D
Crush: This kid in my science class. He never says anything, but he's got a cute smile.
Girl I barley know: Bethany. Were friends but I don't know her that well, but she is a good listener and cool to talk to.
Now I must asymble this team and convince them all to take a stroll with me through an abandoned construction site! Mua ha ha ha ha!
-

Quick, someone warn them! ;) Nice evil laugh, by the way.
-
Best friend: Hmm. I don't really have a "best" friend, but I think I'd pick my friend Chris. I've known him since elementary school. He would totally be like the Marco of the group.
Cousin: My cousin Yuichi. He's really awesome and he'd probably be good in a fight.
Crush: I can't think of anyone who isn't either dead or fictional.
Guy I barely know: Let's make this some guy from band. Er...David. (oh snap)
-
Schwarzenegger.
Bruce Lee.
Stallone.
Chewbacca.
Ripley.
Duhh...
Whoa, two of them already have experience battlin' aliens. Three, if we're counting Chewie.
I'm insane.
-
Best Friend: Andrew and Codey. i can't pick between either, both are funny, and both are very reliable. i've known one since i started primary school, and one when i started high school.
Cousin: Chloe. equally funny and reliable, one of the only cousins i know, so i can only pick her.
Crush: the girl i'm currently going out with, Hannah. she doesn't mind a fight, and she is the real life equivalent of Rachel.
Guy I Barely Know: i wouldn't take a guy i barely know in. what would be the point?
-
Quick, someone warn them! ;) Nice evil laugh, by the way.
lol, thank you.
Guy I barely know: Let's make this some guy from band. Er...David. (oh snap)
David, huh? Why does that name sound soooo familar?.... :D
-
Best Friend: Probably one of my close friends Jamie. She's tough, has been through a lot, and is extremely loyal. I think she'd be able to handle it. Plus she'd feel a duty to fight since she's so family oriented.
Crush: Well, I don't think I'd want my fiance Brian on the team. In all honesty, I don't think he'd handle it very well. He's not the bravest person in the world. Instead I'd actually rather take one of my ex-boyfriends, Kyle. He has a very Rachel-esque personality. He likes danger and he isn't afraid to go about things the blunt way if necessary.
Cousin: Bobby. He served in the military for 6 years, so he'd be a good guy to have on the team.
Guy You Barely Know: Hmmm....there's a new teacher I work with named Keanu who I don't think I'd get along with very well, but I think she would be a strong asset to the team.
-
I'd go out on a limb and say I'm Jake. My best friend since kindergarden is definitely this kid name Mike. He is marco. I don't have a female cousin, so I'd make it anothergirl from my past hwo read the books. Here name is Macy. She'd be Rachel. My wife would be Cassie. My uncle would be Tobias, cuz he is single. And Ax would be Ax on my team.
-
Newsteam assemble! haha
HMmmm... I want my entire team to be females. HAHAHAHA, lol, jay kay.
Best friend:what if you don't have a best friend? lol. Mike, dependable, loyal, smart, mature. Fnny too and we compliment each other.
cousin: Um...my oldest cousin is like 12. so...i guess that could considering that's about when the animorphs started. haha. man, were they young!
Crush: my crush would actually be the one resembling rachel.
Random person: Chuck norris. don't know him too well...
-
Haha what about an RAF-Animorphs team? :P
-
actually, scratch that. my crush would be Yrkd!
-
Aww you're so sweet! :-*
-
Best friend: Genevieve, she's been my best friend since High School, and I still consider her as such even though we don't see each other that often anymore.
Cousin: My cousin Kevin is probably the only one who's around the same age as me...
Crush: That would be either Myriam or Steph. Currently have a crush on both of them, though Steph is the more realistic of the two crushes, since she's actually local, while Myriam lives in another time zone.
Guy I barely know: Um... Brian from work? He's interesting enough to be part of the team, but I barely know him.
-
Best Friend That would be the man who got me into the series in the first place; my best-friend, Daniel. He's the most loyal person on the planet, rather patient--unless you really piss him off-- and I've always thought that he'd be a good leader. It's funny; he was the Jake of our group when we were in grade six. He's really great. I think we'd win the invasion with him on our side.
Cousin Am I the only one on this forum who's close to his first cousins? I guess I'd have any one of them on my team, seeing as how I'm forutnate enough to get along with all of them. But if I'd have to choose, it would be between my cousin Andrew, or my female cousin Elizabeth--but probablly the latter, since she's a lot braver, really smart, has a interesting way of looking at things, and is like Rachel in the sense that's she's head strong. It's funny I should choose Elizabeth, since I get along with her the least compared to my other cousins. I guess we could have a Rachel-Marco relationship, just to lighten the mood.
Crush I'm sort of like Tobias in this respect. It takes an alien invasion to get me to talk to the girl I'm crushing on. I'm sort of curshing on an ex-girlfriend of mine, Thea, so I guess I wouldn't mind having her on my team--or any ex-girlfriend for that matter.
Guy I barely know I don't know...anyone from highschool, I guess.
-
Best friend: I have several best friends from different parts of my life (Anna from high school, Lauren from college, Claire from church, Jessica from work). For this particular purpose, I'd go with Terenia because she knows what's going on, doesn't shy away from a fight, and she's good at keeping me sane.
Cousin: I only have two cousins, but fortunately they're both athletic college-age guys. I'd probably go with the older one, as he's the more serious and less soft of the two. His name is Zach.
Crush: Does my boyfriend count? Well, Josh could hack into computers, and that's really useful. Plus, he plays so many actiony video games that surely those experiences would help him avoid death, right? :D He's also really calm when I get stressed, so he's a good sanity check. If having your boyfriend on the team doesn't count, then another useful person would be the last guy I dated -- a doctor who's able to maintain a constant stream of jokes and is stoic in some stressful situations.
Girl I Barely Know: Ruthie from church loves her shopping and girlie-girlness. But, man, from what I've seen of her, she's tough. Really tough. I think she is a hidden Rachel.
-
I just looked back at the list I made in 2008 and laughed a lot, because it's the worst team ever. Let's try this again...
Best Friend: Like Marie I have a lot of best friends from different times in my life. And, like Marie, I would go with my RAFian best friend (being her). I think it would ease the blow having another RAFian on board, and I think we would bounce off one another well, keeping one another grounded and whatnot.
Crush: I still think my husband would make a terrible Animorph. He can't even look at a picture of a spider, let alone morph one. Previously I chose one of my ex-boyfriends, but I'm not sure what I was smoking, because that particular ex-boyfriend is way too much of a hothead to be successful. I don't really have any crushes, though, so I'll just go with someone of the opposite gender who I get along with very well. I'd pick Mike, Brian's roommate from college. He's extremely smart, a bit impulsive and really needs purpose in his life. I think that becoming an Animorph would give him the drive that he's missing.
Cousin: Not very close with my extended family, and most are quite a bit younger or older than me. I guess I'd go with one of the boys in my age range: Kyle or Ray. I don't know them very well, but they're pretty smart and very athletic.
Person You Barely Know: Hmmm this is a hard one. I'm going to go with our theatre director Heitzman, because he's awesome and probably would be able to handle the sudden shift into the surreal without too much difficulty.
-
Warm fuzzies! ...for being drafted to be shot at and have horrifying nightmares! :XD:
-
At least we'll have horrifying nightmares together. :P
-
Oh boy, this will be fun.
Best Friend: I have to be honest, there are not that many options here. But I'm going to go with my friend Marley. We've been friends since we were seven and if anything crazy ever went down, I know she'd have my back. She would, unquestionably, be the 'Cassie' of the group, with the pacifistic nature and the environmentalist streak. The moral center, if you will. Unfortunately...she recently moved to India (and I live in the US), so I'm not sure how convenient that whole situation would be.
Crush: Well, my current boyfriend...and really all my past boyfriends would be totally useless in a guerilla war. I'd choose my friend Joshua, who I do have a pretty big crush on. He's in boot camp now, so again, convenience issue...But he's a bit older and seems very much like a 'Jake' character to me.
Cousin: Again, not many options. On one end of the spectrum, you have a nine year old kid (who is totally going to be Ax when he's older, but I digress), and on the other end you have someone who's *this* close to flunking out of college. So I'm going with the middle ground and choosing Shannon, someone I don't know very well (she lives in the South...I live in the Midwest...), but from what I know of her, she has the logical mind of Marco combined with some of Tobias's angst...so, there you go..
Person You Barely Know: So far, this group is missing a 'Rachel', but of all the characteristics that you want in your group, the reckless and fearless person should not be the person you barely know. I figure there's a good chance I could do the "dirty work" that Rachel does (of course, what do I know about that?) So the only needed characteristics are an ability to deal with insanity and decent fighting ability. It could be anyone.
-
This is going to get akward for some of you.
Best friend: Crystal. She's been there from day one and she's the only person in my life who isn't related to me that remains consistent. At one point she qualified as my crush, but I've long since come to terms with the fact that I girls aren't my preference, so alas, Crystal remains my best friend.
Alex and Daryll: I love my cousins very dearly. But it's very hard to say which one is close enough to hang out with me that I would actually trust with the fate of the world. So I'm going to modify this one and go with two of my brothers, Alex and Daryll. Both have families and I've always been able to trust them in a crisis.
Crush: That would be Brodie, a guy I was into for a while. Has a pretty level head and knowledgable, so he'd be useful in a fight. Yeah, I told you it'd be awkward.
Guy/Girl I barely know: Tough call here. Probably some wildcard that happened to be there.
-
Am I really the only one who has a good relationship with extended family? :s
-
Best Friend: Probably Patrick Vaughn. He's a small guy, a bit crazy, but he has an interesting imagination. He's interested in war, and joined the military for a bit. I think he could be the Marco.
Cousin: Joey York. Big guy who doesn't take bull from people, but doesn't push people around either. He could be the Rachel with his attitude.
Crush: Tiffany Embok. Quite possibly the closest thing I ever had to a girlfriend. She could be a bit moody sometimes, but she's sweet. She could be the Cassie.
Guy I barely know: Micheal Hendrick. A guy that doesn't have many friends, and I'm not entirely sure how I met him. I hang out with him mainly so Patrick, Mitch, and I can have a fourth when we play games like football or war. We shared an interest in building forts when we were younger, though my parents didn't like me hanging out with him. His older brother was a trouble maker, and they were afraid I would hang out with that guy while hanging out with Mike, which was probably why the guy had few friends.
I'm not so sure I'd be the Jake of my group. My friend Mitch Shephard is more of a Jake than I am.
-
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd end up the Marco of the group, most likely. With a dash of Cassie and Rachel thrown in. Definitely not Jake, though.
-
Best Friend: My buddy Everett, though he would totally fit the Rachel discription more than the Marco discription, I feel like I would be more like Marco
Cousin: I have so many it's hard to choose. If I got to choose who would join me in the war, it would be my cousin Adam, him actually having been a soldier for a few years, but he lives in Israel so I don't see him walking through any abandoned construction sites with me in the near future. If not him it would probably be my cousin Calley, she has the fighting spirit but is definitely more of a Cassie type
Crush: That is easy, it'd be my actual girlfriend Allison, though I don't see her fitting into one of the types that animorphs has, she would sort of be a marco I guess if I had to put her as one
Guy you barely know: Probably one of the people I worked with over the summer or maybe somebody in my fraternaty that I dont really know very well
-
BEST FRIEND: (Name is anonyomous-fake name used) Katie, very like moi :P 'cept smarter (noes...DX) defintly would love the morphing power and would "never give up the fight" XD
COUSIN: 2 cousins, both female, not sure how they'd react to having the power to morph o-o
CRUSH: *sniff* no crush! lol but don't really mind though
GUY I BARELY KNOW: Probaly that girl who used to be in my fencing class...what's her name?... Olivia I think... she's pretty good as far a fighting goes, (in this case fencing.)
-
i'd rather be tobias but if i have to be jake then...
best friend: that's hard for me,my bff lives near me but now we can barley spend time together and i'm coming closer to school friends so (changed names) Kristen or melinda, most likely milinda,she's like marco
cousin:my cousins are all in china and are chinese so i'm not sure about this and they are either way older or way younger so my cousin zhang zun (that was chines that i think i got wrong)
crush:easy,steve
guy i barley know:this girl that's somewhat popular...um.. i think her name was Kelly or something
-
i'd rather be tobias but if i have to be jake then...
Yeah, but being Tobias is no fun for this game. Then it'd just be "guy you vaguely know, guy you don't know, girl you don't know, and girl you kinda like." Oh and your alien uncle, of course, but I don't personally have many of those to choose from. ;)
Jake, on the other hand, has a relationship with all the other human Animorphs from the beginning.
-
Best Friend: Me and my best friend, Mike, have been like brothers since elementary school. His mom even calls me her son. Plus, he's in this ROTC type thing for the Air Force. He's more like Jake than I am though....Now that I think about it, he's a lot like Jake. I'd be the Marco ;D
Cousin: I don't have any cousins that are my age who I could depend on for something like this. I'm very close with all my cousins on my dad's side(and that's A LOT! my great grandma has 7 kids, 13 grandchildren, and almost 30 great grandchildren) but there are absoltely none of them that I would choose for something like this. All my cousins who I'd choose to be an Animorph would either be in their 30's or 40's. But if I had to choose somebody my age, I'd go with my cousin that used to live me (she just moved in with her Boyfriend a few months ago...now my house is boring again :'()
Crush: There are only two girls I know who would be good Animorphs and I have never felt any kind of romantic feelings towards them. All the girls I've had crushes on or dated would not have the courage to be an animorph. They'd probably screw up and get killed on the first mission.
Guy I barely Know: I did have somebody like that but I've gotten to know him in the past couple of months.
In retrospect, the only person I know who would be a good Animorph is my best friend. He'd be a better one than me actually lol I'd be scared sh*tless on like every mission. My real Animorphs dream team would be full of RAFians
-
i'd rather be tobias but if i have to be jake then...
You don't have to be the leader or anything like Jake, just pick your team based on the connections the others had to Jake. They don't have to be anything like the Animorphs, although bot the purpose of balance it would be handy.
It's nice seeing this thread revived, especially since my picks have definitely changed.
We all know that in Animorphs #1 Jake walks into the construction site along with his best friend, his cousin, the girl he has a crush on and a guy he barely knows. So with that in mind, who would be in your Animorph team? (Feel free to switch genders of people as appropriate)
Mike's Animorphs Team:
Best friend: Dan. He's been my best friend for over a decade now and lives less than five minutes away from me. He's smart, slightly cynical and funny.
Cousin: I have two cousins, both male, who live about an hour's drive away. They're nice guys, but I don't know them very well anymore. If I had to pick one of them, I'd say Jonathan as he's closer to my age (less than a year older than me) and he's fluent in about nine languages now I think. Besides that I don't know if he has any useful skills.
Crush: That could be difficult as I don't have a specific crush right now, although there are a few girls I do like, most of them have boyfriends. I won't say any names on the off chance that one of them is reading this!
Guy I barely know: Owen. He's a friend of a friend that I've met a few times who seems to share some of my hobbies.
My Revised Animorphs Team:
Best friend: Georgina. Known her for about 5 years now and we've become much closer in the last year or two. She's very much a Cassie type person, as she loves animals (met her through work) and she's pretty good at reading people. Definitely someone I want on my team.
Cousin: I'm going to choose my cousin Jonathan again, as he's my age and I know him better than my other cousins. He's very sarcastic, extremely talented with foreign languages (lost count of how many he knows) and aside from drinking a lot I see no reason not to have him on my team (except for the fact that he's currently living in Spain temporarily).
Crush: Two and a half years later and I still can't think of anyone to put here, lol. I'm not really crushing on anyone and 90% of the girls I know are in a relationship anyway. If I was forced to choose, it would be one of three girls I know from school/college.
One is a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, but she's not very smart and I don't think I'd entirely trust her with the morphing power. The second is smart, kind and very trustworthy, but I have no idea what skills she has. The third is quite similar to the second, with the added bonus that I think she once had a crush on me (if you can believe that, lol).
None of them are currently single or live in the same town as me.
Guy I barely know: Tough choice, but I'll pick Daniel, a guy I know from my Karate class. He's slightly younger than me, a Purple Belt and one of the coolest and most badass guys in our class. He's kind of like if someone merged Marco and Rachel together. I would want him on my side in a fight.

Terenia, I had a chuckle when you choose Kyle. That guy would have died first book. Or ran screaming after seeing a space ship. Ahhh, that was a great visual.
Best Friend: Crystal, my wife, would be my first choice. She can't really count as a crush and she started off being a great friend. She has the mix of Cassie and Rachel both. She is really into animals and she knows how to fight. (She is able to throw me to the ground when we've spared in the past and I'm not a small guy.) She is level headed and isn't afraid of much. Also she is a sci-fi freak so the whole alien thing wouldn't bother her too much.
Cousin: Probably Katie. She is smart and knows how to flaunt her beauty. Not sure how she would be in an alien war though. Really the only cousin I've ever gotten along with.
Crush: Tough one. Can't really say since I'm not crushing on anyone. Probably pick my ex or my good friend Mel. She has read the series and has worked at zoos and a lot with animals. With her humor she would end up being the Marco of the group.
Person I don't know: Doing what I do for a living, I meet too many people who I hardly ever know. Back home it would end up being one of Crystal's friends. Meaning I would have to get to know the stranger one way or another. Hopefully this stranger doesn't turn into a David.

Am I really the only one who has a good relationship with extended family? :s
oh I like my Aunts. It is really just the cousins that are far away. Literally

Am I really the only one who has a good relationship with extended family? :s
Cousin: I don't have any cousins that are my age who I could depend on for something like this. I'm very close with all my cousins on my dad's side(and that's A LOT! my great grandma has 7 kids, 13 grandchildren, and almost 30 great grandchildren) but there are absoltely none of them that I would choose for something like this. All my cousins who I'd choose to be an Animorph would either be in their 30's or 40's. But if I had to choose somebody my age, I'd go with my cousin that used to live me (she just moved in with her Boyfriend a few months ago...now my house is boring again :'()

Me and my best friend (who joined the boards just the other day) were discussing this and we decided if we had the power to morph we probably wouldn't share. =P There's just no one we know that would work well as a team so it'd be the Animorphs duo in that case. Plus maybe a few of you RAFians... how much do you think postage for a blue cube would be? Haha.
-
yeah i really don't think anything but a team of RAFians would work

We'd save a bundle on flying each other out to other countries. If you're living in the same continent, all you have to do is morph and demorph every two hours. You'd get from Ontario to New York is a few hours.

I'd actually have to substitute cousins and crush for best friends because A) no crush and B) My cousins would probably be useless
OK so:
Best Friends: I'd bring in my friend Luke, Tailor, and Jigar. Tailor is smart and he's not afraid to rip apart somebody. and Luke is um.......crazy. Jigar does tech stuff so he can do weapons.
Guy I barely know: Luke's older brother a 240 pound football player. Enough said.
What morphs I think they would go for
Tailor would probably charge into battle as a gorilla with an AK47 that he took from some shop front. Ben would probably use his football talents as a polar bear charging with claws out. Jigar would probably go big cat. If i could somehow acquire a T-rex I'd use that, but in a small space I would probably either turn into a rhino and have Tailor on my back or go right along side him as gorilla with either a machine gun or grab a few lasers. I have no idea what Luke would go as maybe try a frolis maneuver.
