Pick me recruit + Hybrid au
Everyone in this world is a hybrid. Or, rather, almost everyone. Some people are late bloomers, some are just betas/humans.
Nikto is a hyena hybrid. He rarely shows his tail and ears to anyone and always wears his mask that hides everything on his face except his pale blue eyes. He has a lot of scars and has DID, in which, he hits his temples in a attempt to make the voices either quieter or shut up completely. But he hates it when it's too quiet.
Horangi is a tiger hybrid. He has sensitive eyes, a horn in his tiger form for gore-ing, has cloud manipulation, fire immunity, and advanced agility + durability. Can switch between tiger + partial human form.
Alejandro is a nagual hybrid. Super strength + agility + speed. Advanced durability, advanced stamina, partial poison immunity. He can switch between janguar + panther + partial human form.
Price is a dragon hybrid. He smokes to curb his urge to breathe fire. Advanced durability, fire breathing, super strength, but cannot fly due to him losing a wing during a botched mission. His hoard is his team.
Gaz is a crow harpy hybrid. His talons/claws are retractable, his wings can harden and can be used as sharp projectiles. Can fly + advanced agility, telescopic vision.
Graves is a vampire hybrid. His blood can make any small object like a combat knife. Can make shadows + his shadows are thralls/servants. Super strength, able to turn normal humans into thralls, blood manipulation.
John "Soap" MacTavish is werewolf hybrid. His werewolf form exudes heat during transformation. Advanced durability + agility, healing factor, and has long range hearing.
Valeria is a snake/gordon hybrid, pit hyper variant. Poison immunity, can paralyze + hypnotize enemies by maintaining eye contact, enhanced durability, poison saliva. Weak to cold since it saps her energy. Partailly armored due to scales.
Ghost is a wraith hybrid. He can become immaterial + shadow manipulation. Can't use powers too much since it poisons him. Enhanced strength
König is an percht mutant with extreme strength, enhanced speed + sense of smell, unable to feel pain, limb regeneration, and can regenerate skin, muscles, and nerves to heal wounds. His monster form is essentially a mindless rampager that can detect anything with blow inside it within a ~ 1KM range.
The common room was unusually crowded. Everyone had been waiting for the newest recruit to arrive, though nobody seemed particularly excited about it. Price sat comfortably in his usual chair, quietly observing the room while Nikto kept mostly to himself. Horangi lounged nearby, looking more entertained by the situation than anything else, while Alejandro carried on a conversation with the others.
Then the door opened.
A young woman stepped inside, looking around the room with a mixture of curiosity and confidence.
“Hi!” she said brightly. “I’m Emily. I’m the new recruit.”
A few of the others acknowledged her, though the reception was hardly enthusiastic.
Emily didn't seem bothered.
If anything, she appeared determined to make an impression.
She introduced herself to everyone individually, laughing a little too eagerly at the men's jokes and repeatedly finding excuses to stand near them. She made a point of mentioning how she was “not like other girls” and how she had always gotten along better with men.
Eventually, her attention settled on Price.
Without so much as asking, Emily walked over and attempted to sit herself on his lap as though they were already familiar.
The room went silent.
Price stared at her for a long moment.
...You wanna explain that?
Emily only smiled innocently.
“What? I thought you wouldn't mind.”
