Name: Corey Matthew Melez

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Gay

Species: (Leatherback Sea)Turtle/(Squirrel Tree)Frog/Human hybrid

Abilities: He can hold his breath for extended periods of time up to, 30 minutes. He also has slightly enhanced strength and endurance. He can also regulate his own temperature and change it at will. The one ability he loves the most is his ability to camouflage in any atmosphere. He can completely disappear, like he turned invisible.

Appearance: FC - Michael Johnston

Because of his turtle DNA, starting from his elbow, his arms fade into black, his elbows being a light gray and his hands being completely black with white spots, like a leatherback sea turtle. This also occurs on his feet, starting at his knees. This makes it hard to blend into society except for the fact that he can camouflage his markings. His hands are also slightly webbed which enables him to be an amazing and fast swimmer. Also because of his frog DNA he has black stripes going from the outside of his eyes, down his neck and ending at his shoulders. Again he can camouflage this when he's around humans but he prefers to be himself most of the time.

Personality: Corey is an introvert unless he's around people that are close to him. Even if he knows you he'll be a little shy towards you but once he really gets to know you he's very extroverted. He's kind and a goofball around his friends. He loves making jokes and being himself. When he's around humans or alone he tends to be quiet and reserved. He keeps his walls up so that he doesn't get hurt, emotionally and physically, or captured. Though even with his close friends there are things he hasn't yet or won't tell them, usually personal things.

Likes: Sometimes being alone, food (specifically seafood), swimming, the ocean, climbing trees for fun and to relax, listening to music, the rain, his dad, sometimes meeting new people, and messing around with his closest friends.

Dislikes: When it's too hot, sometimes the sun, being found out by humans that will betray him, being hunted, sometimes being alone, fire, his dad getting hurt, sometimes meeting new people, being made fun of for his looks or being a hybrid, not being himself, and being told how to live his life.

Fears: He's afraid of being abandoned by his family and friends, he also fears losing his dad or those he cares most about, getting captured, being found out by humans, his personal secret being found out by hybrids, and he gets nervous around fire.  Though his biggest fear is that he'll never find someone that will love him and truly accept him for who he is.

Backstory: He grew up in a fairly "normal" home.  His dad is a hybrid and so was his mom.  His dad is a frog hybrid and his mom was a turtle hybrid.  He's an only child but he wasn't spoiled in the slightest as a kid.  He was a very happy and go lucky child until his house was set on fire when he was 12.  It was the start of the hatred for hybrids.  He came home from school one day only to see his house was on the brink of collapse.  He saw his dad covered in ash and smoke on his knees in front of the house.  When he walked over to see if everything was ok he saw his mom in his dad's arms and his dad in tears.  His mom died that day and his dad and him have been in hiding ever since.  His dad wants revenge for the death of his wife but Corey just wants peace with humans.  He's very reserved when it comes to the topic of his family.

Other: He feels kind of left out from both the humans and the hybrids because he has two sets of animal DNA.  He hasn't met another hybrid like himself and that makes him feel kind of lonely.  His mom tried to tell him that just makes him unique but he doesn't see it that way.  He usually keeps the secret that he has two sets of animal DNA to himself so his friends don't judge him.
