Experiment 002

Description

Shadow is one of my characters, he's a werewolf. He was born in a testing facility called The Institute, which is a place that basically holds 'mythical' creatures and tortures them. Their goal is to eliminate the world of 'evil' non-human beings, and they believe that through torture they can find the creatures weaknesses then go out and destroy their entire race.

Shadow's mother was also a captive there, and his father was a worker there. On the first day of every year, after the captive has been there for at least 5 years, a captive can make the choice of whether to continue being tortured or to join the organisation and become an employee, which involves torturing the other captives. Shadow's father chose to join the ranks and was assigned to torturing his mother. His mother fell pregnant, and then she died when she gave birth to Shadow. The task of torturing Shadow then fell to his father.

Shadow's original name was Experiment 002 (with one of my other characters, Moon, being 001) and during the 47 year long period of his torture - as he never chose to work for the organisation - he developed the ability to heal extremely quickly, and thus cannot scar, and he is unable to touch water as it burns his skin the same as fire would.

His escape came on the night of a full moon, when a fire broke out in the facility and it had to be evacuated. Shadow had never been outside before, and had never been in contact with the light of the full moon, so this was his first ever night changing. His father was the one in charge of evacuating him, and like every other captive Shadow was held in a cage to be loaded onto a high security van, where they could be transported to the nearest of the other testing facilities. Shadow however managed to kill his father and escape his cage. But because it was a full moon and he had changed he didn't have the thought process to figure out a plan, and running blindly he led himself back into the facility.

He came across a girl left behind in one of the many rooms where captives were held and tortured. Normally in this state he would have killed her, but she was also a werewolf, and because of her scent he instead broke her out and they escaped together.

The girl was Moon, who had been held captive there for 11 years, and after their escape the pair of them adopted each other as brother and sister. The Institute is still after them, but luckily they haven't been found yet. Moon gave Shadow his name because of his hair at the time, which was a full 47 years in length and all over the place, hiding his face.
