I decided to ignore the last thing she said, and skip straight to the explanation, the conclusion I had come to while running in circles.

I sighed and began. "I woke up not to long ago and thought I heard voices, so I headed toward them. I got lost, and eventually, one of the Controllers heard me. I hid behind a rock while she came looking for me. Then, she went back to what she was doing before. I managed to catch a few pieces of her conversation with another Controller. She mentioned scent. Human scent. And she mentioned Alistair and Edward. If I'm right, many animals have a great sense of smell, and they can easily recognize familiar scents. So, it would make sense for her to mention Edward and Alistair. But she also mentioned "others". I think she meant us."
If you are not in my avatar, and would like to be, or if you changed your name and avatar and would like me to update it, PM me. I cannot add or change anyone at the moment as I lost the file I use for this, but if people still want in, I'll work on it.

I am RAFmarried to my sweet shnukums, Rachel. ;D

(The Controllers recognise your smell. They DON'T recognise Leah and Ais' smell.)
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

A thought suddenly occurred to me. "Why do we need to go back to the cavern? We were there just this morning. And as far as I know, there are only two Controllers. Right?"

<Well, I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I've got a bit of a plan dreamed up. You see, the Big One is located underneath part of the Yeerk Pool Complex, based on what Alistair confirmed for me when he fell through the ceiling of the tunnel. If more Yeerks find out about the tunnels, it will be a matter of days, maybe even hours, before they track our scents down and capture us, including my entire family. I simply cannot allow that. However, I know these tunnels like nobody on this planet, and I think that we can trick those Controllers into going where we want them...like herding sheep, but through a maze and in the dark. If we can corner them in The Big One, which only has limited exits, most of them cat-sized...we can get rid of them or de-infest them. There is enough room to morph and fight in there, so Leah would still be able to function as a bear, if she wanted.>

Name: Muntonq Vylopnu
Allias: Montana
Age Apperance and Actual: 23, 6742
Species: Flossian (Flossians are a race that has died out and Muntonq is the last of his species. Flossians are a unique species able to whenever they are about to die to regenerate in to a slightly different individual but unless administered to by another Flossian quickly lose most of their knowledge including their memories. Languages and basic bodily usability knowledge are retained. However their ability's make them tough to eliminate they can be killed through various means including viruses, other infections and Various advanced technolodgies they also have a limit of 15 regenerations before their DNA becomes to corrput to be able to facilitate them to regenerate)
Physical Description: about 6'. Appears to be an average human male except in battle he has ability to extrude blades in areas similar to a Hork-Bajir blade locations (the wrists, the elbows, shoulders, knees, and back of the calves), and claws from his fingers. He has Blond hair, Blue Eyes, broad shoulders, and his muscles are well defined. He does need to eat as he gains energy from the sun through a process similar to photosynthesis he is able to extract nutrients from air and water. He also has the ability to breath in water for short periods( ~10 minutes) of time and is a very proficient swimmer. Montanta also only has 4 left of those 15 left so he has to be more careful or else he will be gone for good.
Morphs: none, for some reason it is incompatible with his DNA (Unknown to him is that his DNA is Hextuple Helix which more advanced than anything even the Andalites have even seen, even the Chee are oblivious to this who he has had some association with since his arrival)
Personality: Rather grough when he is first met but warms up quickly to others. He is also rather a loner and prefers to do things on his own.
History: Born many centuries ago all he knows about himself is contained on a recorder that he keeps hanging around his neck(the full content will be revealed later). He was born in the Tollothian galaxy migrated to the milky way galaxy after his species was destroyed where he crashed on earth in the year 2400 in what is now known as Estonia and has wandered around the earth since then.  He works where he can when he can and has a knack for baking. Has a HarleyDavidson VRSCA V-Rod. In his past live he has collected a large sum (several  hundred million dollars) of money that he mostly lives off of. But he also doesn't flont his money around in other faces because he doesn't want to become fully known and be watched form every corner and angle and not be able to have a life and so no one knows this.
Current Occupation: None

(If this is unacceptable please tell me an I will change it. Also I haven't finished reading through the thread yet so I am not up to speed on the story so go ahead and finish the current mission and I will get a story ready to introduce him to every one.)

 :o  :wow: Ummmn... okay... this was NOT exactly what I was expecting, but I think that we MIGHT be able to do something with it. Just let me clear up a few things with you, Lost (care if I call you that? I am Este).

1. As per the rules that I've already defined for this game, your character does NOT know any of the original Animorphs. He never met them, he has never run into them, even accidentally. If you don't like that, you can find another RPG, 'cause your character has officially become cliche of the worst kind.

2. You are going to have to give this guy some SERIOUS limitations. If he is going to be a living super-weapon, he has to have an Achilles' Heel. Period. If he is less powerful than he seems, he doesn't have to be quite so limited.

3. If you start to write this character as something freakishly powerful, indestructible, and able to outwit the cleverest enemy, I WILL tell you to please cut him down a peg. Be warned, I don't like Mary-Sue types in my stories, and I am very serious about sticking to the rules of a story's universe.

Aside from all this, you are most welcome to join us! I hope that you enjoy your time in RAF, Lost.

Yes I know he seems powerful and I am working about ways to restrict it more, for instance the money I am going to put something in that he gives most of it away to a charity or something like that.  And I wanted him to have some ability's that would make him worth something(the blades and the breathing under water). I also have yet to mention that he is very reckless(I mean he normally only goes a month without dieing). But I also wanted to have subplots that could develop around him trying to find out about his past lives so some time he will be off in his own world away from every else. I was also thinking of having him maybe get infected by a yeerk and them having his regenerating ability turned off. also when he does regenerate he become more like the nearest person, so if he regenerates in the presence of a yeerk he may be come evil. Like I said in the profile he has had contact with the chee, but he has had no contact with the original animorphs having been in china during that time.

I am also looking at every thing and deciding what really needs to be included to limit his abilitys.

That's a good start. I'd suggest (if you aren't too averse to it) that every time he regenerates, he loses something of his original power, along with memory. For instance, if he once could toss a mack truck, and he dies, he can only toss a VW Beetle, now. See what I mean?

Well the only things he has that are unusual (besides the regeneration) are the blades and the breathing underwater average human male that works out strength speed stamina and all that. Oh and the money but like I said before he was going to give it to charity (as well as leaving a sum of money for each of the others in a secret accounts in case he dies forever)

Ah, well. That's a bit more workable, then. Coolness.

I went in and changed it from 200 regenerations to 15 that seems more reasonable and now he wont have to be so reckless. oh and he will regenerate just as they meet him.
