Created Biological Lifeform

Dren is a created lifeform, which was created from samples of human, kangaroo, manta ray, horse, salamander, frog, bird, and fish among others. Dren is an amalgamation of those creatures, possessing additional abilities to further mutate and change, granting Dren the following abilities:

• Environmental Adaptation: Dren can grow and adapt in her environment, growing gills and the ability to breath water, etc. This does not mean that Dren cannot adapt to hostile environments, but rather her adaption is constant – drawing on the various DNA strands that she is made up of.
• Aquatic Adaptation: Dren is already adapted for marine life, allowing her Gd (10) Water Freedom and Gd (10) Hyper Swimming.
• Poison Stinger: Dren is equipped with a stinger which grants her a 9’ reach and is equipped with a stinger which mirrors a manta ray. Dren’s stinger can inject Ex (20) intensity poison which will do 20 pts of damage a round for 1 – 10 rounds, requiring an Endurance FEAT vs. poison intensity each round. On a critical result, the poison will do -1cs to Endurance each round until it runs its course. In addition, the stinger/tail is prehensile, allowing Dren to manipulate it as if it were a limb.
• Natural Weaponry: Dren possesses claws that seem retractable and can-do Ex (20) edged damage, halving effective body armor.
• Enhanced Senses: Dren’s senses are considered to be superhuman, allowing Dren to track opponents through smell, see in near darkness, hear subsonic sounds, and sense body heat with Ex (20) ability.
• Flight: Dren later develops wings, capable of Gd (10) flight.
• Shapeshifting – Limited: Dren’s body adapts as necessary to the situation, allowing Dren to change at one point from female to male. As of the movie, Dren’s shape shifting is related to permanent changes linked to its Environmental Adaptation ability.
• Enhanced Speed: Dren has the ability to move with quick sudden movements and bursts of speed. Dren is considered to have Gd (10) hyper-speed for one round at a time.

Contacts:

For a time, Dren could count its creators as contacts, but that quickly became impossible. Dren had no other contacts.

Limitations:

Dren had several limitations that progressed as Dren evolved. These limitations included:

• Driven by instincts. Dren was remarkably smart, but was driven by instincts which would overwhelm Dren’s normal nature. Dren could be provoked or react to situations and as such, Dren would have to make a Psyche FEAT at -1cs.   
• Unusual Appearance: Dren has a very unusual appearance, including reversed knees, a tail, eyes slightly apart, and other distinctive features. Dren suffers a -1cs to social interactions due to her unusual nature.
• Non-Verbal: Dren communicates through trills and expressive reactions, but for the most part is non-verbal. Dren’s only words were ‘Inside You’, and even that required effort. Dren does seem to understand English and communication, but cannot usually speak.
• Aging: Dren ages very quickly, growing from development to an adult in a matter of weeks. It could be assumed that Dren will continue to age quickly and suggest a shorter lifespan, but that is only a possibility. It is more accurate to think that Dren simply grew fast to adulthood, but it is a matter for the Judge to determine.
