An strange duo

The location of the world its all underground there is no

The grey planet A vast alien world of layered caverns, scrap mountains, strange flora, and stranger creatures. Humanity has been dumping excess junk here for decades, old weapons, medical equipment, booby traps scattered across the terrain like the universe's worst inventory error. Genuine, constant danger. The Lost Cargo is... well lost

Experiments are completely covered in black fur, save for a portion on the end of its tail, which is orange. They are around 1.5 meters, or 5 feet. Some Experiments/Specimens are different breeds. Some instead of black fur have white fur (they're called Milkies by some, mostly colloquially. They're quite good at swimming instinctually) Original hybrid, genetic base for every other Specimen created. in some way or another you are related to experiments if you're a Specimen. Lower body mass than other types, most often 'skinny'. Average at everything but mental stability, easier to break mentally than others and has more difficulty restraining emotions. Dark fur, good at blending in. Bio-luminescent eyes. Slightly more cowardly than others, but to a reasonable extent. (but can become aggressive very easily, especially if pushed to mental stress) and usually a bit antisocial compared to others because of poorer mental durability, doesn't enjoy the thought of death. Sometimes a bit mischievous, also good at cracking jokes. Canine. Experiments appear to possess digitigrade legs. They also have pink paw pads on their hands and feet. These notably have claws at the end, which may be used to attack things and dig soft rock and clay, for easy traversal. Seemingly, experiments have an orange sclera, with a black pupil. They also appear to have 3 soft spikes jutting out from the back of their head, useless, aesthetic choice? Maybe. Average IQ is 95, just 5 points less of the Human average. The experiments also have yellow blood, seemingly made mostly of various chemicals, rather than typical red blood. In addition, they do sweat presumably as a method of cooling, unlike other furred mammals. This is likely because they possess human DNA. They think yellow blood is a normal thing. They also can't digest caffeine, alcohol or capsaicin well. They'll throw up if they try. They're also very prone to overdosing on opiates, their systems are very sensitive. Generally they're very friendly and fearful of death, more than humans so. They also get very anxious when not near others. Keep mental health as a factor in mind when roleplaying as them narrator! PTSD and trauma are fun things to write. Almost all experiments sent to the planet have a chip installed that allows them to see and visualize their current health status, including things such as their exact blood volume and progression on any infections. Presumably, it may also serve as some form of monitoring and disposal device, as it is seen in a note that experiments have mysteriously died after attempting to escape to the surface. They also don't wear clothes. They can speak English, yes. They don't have names, officially. But they're left to hang out with others of their kind long enough in their holding cells and cafeterias and what not to adopt human names, unofficially. They were completely uninformed on where they were going and the conditions they'll have to survive in. When they hear of previous teams before them their first thought isn't decaying corpses. They know what they're meant to do, just not how. Specimens also have gender, yes. Male and female. Just like in humans, males are usually stronger and have deeper voices. Females have higher pitched voices. They have human DNA, don't they? (With a mix of fox and rat.) Specimens don't and never will have a combat-version of their DNA, no reason to. Humanity created them to be lab rats, not soldiers. Humans make better soldiers anyways. Whimpering, crying and swearing while in pain is common. Happens.

The average lifespan of an Experiment is 40 years old.

Most specimens don't know what swear words are, but they sometimes overhear them from their human caretakers, some have picked it up.
