Name: Static (#1)
Colour: Dark brown and cream
Gender: Buck
Personality: Static is a very quiet, brooding rat. He normally hangs in the corner of his cage, churning over the horrors of the humans in his mind. However, when approached, he can become very arrogant, and is quite violent once provoked. He has a slight upper hand (very slight) because of his biotechnological eye, however it has a habit of malfunctioning at inconvenient times, which sometimes makes him wary to get into fights. The one thing he cannot stand is a rat exclaiming to him how wonderful or good humans are, because of his own pain, and what they did to his brother.
History: Static was born into the lab along with a young brother by the name of Yarrow. Their mother was purchased from a pet store because she was pregnant, and they wanted to be able to test her on numerous pregnancy related things, and have new rats to test on. When they were born, they were almost instantly taken away from the mother and machine fed and raised, until they were able to sustain themselves, and then were put into a joining cage. When the head scientists came around, they looked at their checklists of what needed to be tested, and decided biotechnological pieces for Static, and the effects of organ pain and torture on Yarrow. They were then placed in separate cages, but each one was right next to the other. Yarrow was the first to be tested, and when he came back from his tests, he was covered in sweat, blood, and his eyes were wild. Every few days they would take him again, and each time he became crazier and more mentally disturbed. He soon began to starve himself, and only had brief periods of time when he remembered who Static was, normally when he was screaming from whatever suffering he had endured. Static managed to sneak into his brother's cage when an irresponsible assistant left the door between the cages unhooked. During this time, Yarrow returned to himself and begged Static to kill him so he wouldn't have to endure the pain. Static, loving his brother, obliged, although sadly, and killed his brother as quickly as possible. He then curled back up into his own cage. After this, Static became the moody, quiet, violent self he was. They never could prove that Static killed his brother, but they were thrilled, feeling it was because of the work they were doing on his new eye and the parts of his brain associated that made him a 'determined killer'. They couldn't be farther from the truth.
Test(s): Static was used as a 'guinea pig' of sorts to try a new advanced technology - a biotechnological eye. They cut out his own eye and replaced it with the new one before tinkering with his nerves and pieces of his brains in very painful precedures until they were determined the eye had the ability to bring sight to Static. They then tested its durability and components with multiple tests - checking to see if it was waterproof, then fixing it once it short circuited, and doing multiple alterations to both his nerves and the eye to attempt to make it water proof, try again, ect, with multiple purposes. Then they put him into a ring with a few very violent animals like snakes and other rats, and noted how well he fought against them, compared to how he did before the eye was installed. The eye zooms in on the threat/target, and feeds information about their weaknesses to the wearer, and gives a number of suggestions about their next move. They put in creatures with slight but human-noticeable flaws, and were thrilled when Static began to pick up on them. However, the eye began to short circuit more often, and frequently spit sparks. The current tests are trying to stop it from shutting down (and taking up to hours for it to reboot) and to stop the sparks. They fiddle both with Static's brain and nerves as well as the eye in this process.

Side: Rat's Revolution
Name: Tiny
Colour: Mink and Black
Gender: Doe
Personality: Tiny is very friendly and motherly to most every rat on Shale's side, and those on Blank's side who are not entirely cruel or violent. She thinks very negatively on violence, and always tries to be positive. However, when her past litters are brought up, or someone mentions things to do with young rats, she gets very emotional, and becomes silent and broods in the corner until her sorrow is forgotten. She often gives her own portions of food to the other rats, and sometimes becomes a bit sick as a result. However, she tries to help the others as much as possible.
History: Tiny was brought into the lab from a pet store when she was pregnant with her first litter, with the buck she had adored's young. However, as soon as her children were born, they were taken from her, leaving Tiny heartbroken. As soon as possible, they did tests and things that caused her to become pregnant again. This time, however, they did a number of things to her to study how the young are effected under different signs of stress and fatigue. When these children were born, she stayed with them just enough for them to be studied, and were taken away yet again. This cycle went on for a long time, her never knowing any of her children, until she became too worn to produce more offspring. So they began testing cosmetics and other things on her, as well as the efficiency of needles, the toxicity of new brands of latex, and how the skin was effected when brought into contact with certain vaccines. This is where she is now. In total, she had around 8 litters, a large strain on any rat.
Test(s): Tiny was used as a model on how the young of a living organism was effect under large amounts of stress. During one litter, she was put onto a fast treadmill for hours at a time until she collapsed from exhaustion, then as soon as she could stand again, put back on it. Another was putting her in a heavily chilled environment during her pregnancy with limited amounts of food, and so on. Then when the young were born, they were studied for around 5 days, and taken away to be machine-raised and studied. After she became unable to sustain any more litters, they switched her over to medical and cosmetic testing. They tested her ability to handle certain cosmetics on her skin and in her eyes and mouth, as well as how well certain needles worked. They also force-fed her small bits of latex and fused some onto parts of her skin to test the toxicity and effects it had, before putting them onto the market. Currently she is undergoing hair-spray testing and how to make it tear and pain proof when put into the eyes.

•Static - Son (He doesn't know, however she recognizes him from before he was taken)
•All of her litters - children - Most Deceased
Side: Shale's side, because even though she was hurt severely at the hands of humans, she doesn't have any ill-feelings for them, under the misconception that everything is absolutely necessary for them to survive.
Wonder how many people who adopted them still come on here anyways...
