## Biography

### Appearance

Lean build ectomorph. Parts of their body are mutated, such as their eagle talon arm, eyes, ears and legs. They carry large harpy eagle wings on their back that usually drag on the ground because they can’t be bothered to lift them. They have a lithe, thin tail that ends with more feathers.

Their mask has two small horns and a black triangle forming down on the forehead. Two small black squares over the edges by the cheeks. The mask has a black net mesh over the eyes that replace the pupils with glowing white slits.They wear most things, but are usually seen wearing their old black and gold accented captains coat, white turtleneck, worn brown trousers and brown knee-high boots.

Their hair is choppy cut and short brown. They have two long strands over the ears by the cheeks that rest on their collarbone.

## Personality

Reserved and a little cocky. They prefer to keep people at a swords length before deciding to trust them, and are utterly confused as to what is going on. Think of them as the kid who doesn’t try on exams and still somehow gets good grades despite drinking monster until midnight.

### Background

They were previously the small-town dependent. Schnoob was helpful and kind-hearted, lacking in the intelligence department but making up for it with their charisma. They aspired to be part of the new era, and took the opportunity of being a test subject for Chimaera Co.

After years of being injected with medicines and stimulants, along with testing weapons and machines, they were picked out by Doctor Alder. She took interest in Schnoob for their athletic prowess after all of the tests and signed them up for Chimera testing. Unknown to the lab rat, their body would be fused with a goat and harpy eagle, ridden of all previous memories and inserted with a chip to the neck.

They served Chimaera Co. Unaware of their previous life and no longer harbouring a name worth remembering. They continued to carry out missions filled with violence and screams of innocent people. Until during a raid on the lab, escaped chimaeras ripped out their chip, breaking them free from the control of Doctor Alder. With new allies, they followed them, hiding from the remnants of the lab security and surviving in different terrains, honing their skills.

They left after an attack on their group left them as the last one standing. They're now acting as a mercenary to gain reputation and payment for survival's sake, putting aside politeness in exchange for favours.

## Trivia

* Schnoob prefers the company of animals over people, which is why they have so many.
* Schnoobs mask is actually attached to their face, which makes it harder to take off. It is detachable, but slightly painful.
* Despite being a top class soldier, they don’t take care of their uniform or themselves. During seasons that require feather preening, Schnoob just picks at a few tufts and lets the rest fall out on their own. There are dark feathers scattered around the cottage.
* They cannot talk to birds, but they can understand goats. This does not mean they get along and might quite literally bump heads.
