  Name: Nero
Pronounce: (Knee-Row)
Nicknames: None
Gender: Male
Species: Gold Sand Scorpion
Age: Teen
Height: about 4'9"
Hair Colour: Pale blonde.
Skin Colour: Green.
Eye Colour: Black
Distinguishing features: Tail with stinger, green (hard and armor-like) skin, four eyes, six extra arms/legs, claws.
Quirks: Speaks with a stutter, has very strong scorpion-instincts.
Personality: After the 'incident', Nero has mellowed out quite a bit. Although still nervous, he does not let it affect him as much as he once did. He is more quiet and withdrawn around adults he doesn't know, and even can get rather moody and irritable, which once would be considered out of character for him. He's formed an attitude as a defense mechanism, as well as a few mild violent tendencies- both of which only come out around strangers. When in the company of those he cares about, he reverts back to his gentle and happy self. He still wishes to take care of and please everyone, but is much less cautious and even a little bit rebellious in his actions now. He is no longer the well behaved little angel he had been for his father.
Likes: Nero loves lounging in the sun and curling up in small, dark places. He still has a slight passion for digging, as well. He loves the memories of his past more than anything, and clings onto what is left of his father every day. He loves hanging out with the few friends he has and pleasing others, however he is starting to feel the craving to keep to himself more often now. He loves art and music, both of which things he can't create because of his claws. He loves a variety of other things, still being a rather positive fellow even after all that happened.
Dislikes: Nero hates... "Scary" things. He hates things that are big, loud, physically painful, ominous looking, bad tasting, and ugly. Although all of those things get a chance, once that chance is up and Nero has a reason to dub them scary, he will do so and never come within twelve feet of them ever EVER again. He also has a great dislike for people who make fun of his appearance, or bother him with mean intent. He will often snap or lash out momentarily at anyone who goes too far with it, as well. He hates water, he hates pain, he hates being afraid of stuff, he hates blood, he hates violence, and... He's rather afraid of his dragon. Oh, and he hates doing things normal people do with their hands- he has claws, and has to mimic lots of those actions. It's hard on the little guy.
Skills: He's still young, so they're still developing. So far it seems as if he's very good with his claws- and he knows what he can do with his stinger. He's very good at holding onto things and relatively quick on his feet. He's gaining strength in his extra legs and can almost hold himself up on them. He's good at climbing, but he's afraid of heights so he doesn't do that a lot.
Inabilities: He's unable to swim without a flotation device, along with doing things that require hand-coordination; such as coloring or using eating utensils. He's also unable to fly. Surprise.
Hobbies: He's a lot like most teenagers- he likes to hang out with friends, listen to loud music, and curl up in his dark room and just be alone. Now that he's out of D-Corp and living with Ella he's hoping to get out more and hang with the friends he's lost touch with a bit.

 Name: Kei
Gender: Male
Race: Wyvern
Size: Pretty big
Eye color: Bright Red
Scale color: Brown with light brownish belly and dark brown spines going from the top of his head to his tail (?)
Friends: Not really sure if he has any with his tendency to be a bully.
Likes: Picking on Nero and Ella, sneaking about the house, breaking things, glaring at Rich.
Dislikes: Ice, Ella when she manages to get back at him for whatever
Personality: He enjoys causing trouble whenever he can, especially if something gets broken in the process. Though he can be a terror he's not exactly "mean", sure he likes to bully and break things but he doesn't tend to actually physically hurt people.

Race: Human
Hair: Long, straight and black
Eyes: Forest Green
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Not telling
Status: Straight and Single
Likes: Computers, her brother and sister, Nero, 80's Music, foreign food, and reading fantasy/mythology books, and rainy days

 Common names:
This was the first scorpion species scientific described (by Linnaeus himself), and the name Scorpio means scorpion. The specific name, maurus means dark or obscure. The species is sometimes known a the Largeclawed Scorpion or Israeli Gold Scorpion.
Distribution:
Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia), Asia (Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen).
Habitat:
This species is often found in desert habitats, but can also be found in dry forests. It is a burrowing species, which inhabits different types of substrates (burrowing must be possible). The burrows are often 20 - 70 cm deep (the bottom of the borrow is usually enlarged). This species lives in very warm habitats, but will experience winter temperatures down to 10-15 C in some areas (the scorpion will "hibernate" in the burrow during winter).
Venom:
Mildly venomous, but a painful sting. Harmless for healthy humans. This aggressive species will often use claws for defense, and not use the stinger. LD50 values are reported to be 9.37 - inactive (mg/kg) and 141.6 - inactive (mg/kg).
General:
This species is 6-8 cm long, and the different subspecies (19 subspecies are described in Fet et al., 2000) are varying in colors. Most have a yellow to redbrown color (the tip of the claws are usually dark redbrown), but some subspecies (like S. maurus fuscus) are dark brown/blackish in color. The different subspecies can be separated by the color variations, but not always. It is possible that some of the subspecies represent true species, but a thorough revision of the genus is necessary before any conclusion can be drawn.
This species is often found in colonies, but each scorpion has it's own burrow..
This species is kept in captivity. Breeding seems difficult.

How a new Beginning came to be
Ella tapped her desk in an annoy manner as she listen to the man talking on the other end of the phone. “Now listen here! I don't know who you think you are but...How dare....Fine I'll be there.” She ended and started to write down the address as the man recited it for her. Slamming the phone back on the cradle, she gritted her teeth and stomped off to the bathroom to put on some make-up before grabbing her keys and slamming the door as she left her house.
After about a half hour of driving around searching, Ella found the building she was looking for. The white building loomed over her as she approached. Taking a deep breath and releasing it before walking inside and then up to the receptionist desk. Looking the women there straight in the eye Ella said, “Uh yeah, I got a call a little while ago asking me to come here...”
The woman pulled out a clipboard. “Name, please,” was all she said.
Ella sighed and put her forehead in her hands. “Eleanora Shikoba.”
After flipping through some papers on the clipboard she nodded, looked up at Ella and said “One moment.” Before turning and disappearing through a door against the back wall.
Leaning against the desk Ella waited for whatever it was she was waiting for. She didn't have long to wait. After about five minutes a man came walking out from the back of the room. “Ms. Shikoba? Follow me please.” He said before turning and walking back the way he came without looking back to see if she was following.
Following Ella started to really lose her temper. “Hey! I have a few questions for you! What the hell is going on? How do you know about me and my siblings? And what exactly is it you want from me?” She made sure to ask rather quickly before he spoke over her like the one she'd talked to on the phone earlier.
The man slowed slightly and glanced over his shoulder for a moment before answering. “What's going on is that we have something we need you to do for us. As to how we know about you and your sibling's 'family business' we have our ways of finding out things. What we want from you....we want you to take care of a child for us. Well actually to be more specific he's a teen now. He lost his father some time ago and we feel that its about time he had a new place to stay. D-Corp, which is the name of our organization by the way, isn't exactly made for watching these kids for long periods of time, not a whole lot of socialization opportunities withing the building. He's a bit shy and doesn't seem to trust adults much since the situation with his father.”
Ella's jaw dropped slightly. “W-what? Adopt a kid? Now wait a minute! I live alone, I've never had any children let alone a teenager! I refuse to...”
The man stopped and turned. “You refuse? Now Ms. Shikoba we recognize your right to refuse, but then you must understand out right to turn our file on you over to those you might not wish to have it. Now do you still refuse Ms. Shikoba?”
Ella opened and closed her mouth several times, not sure what to say. She knew that normally this would be when any other person would make a counter threat, but Ella wasn't the confrontational type. She picked locks, broke codes and built electronic devices, she didn't fight or make threats, her brother and sister did that. Finally seeing no way out Ella sighed and bowed her head slightly. “Fine you win. Lead the way.”
Nodding the man turned back around and continued walking. “The boy's name is Nero, if you're curious, and like all the other children involved with our organization he's not exactly what you'd call normal. And as to the question you're about to ask you'll see what I mean momentarily.” They walked in silence for a minute before they finally halted at one of the many doors that lined the hallway. “Well here we are. It's dark in here so I recommend waiting in the doorway until your eyes adjust.
The man knocked twice before opening the door. “Nero? Your new guardian is here.”
Wow he wasn't kidding about it being dark in here. Ella thought as she waited for her eyes to adjust to the gloom. Once they did she got the shock of her life and realized just what the man had meant by the boy not exactly being normal. Sitting on a bed in front of her was a boy with claws instead of hands, six thin extra legs, a long thick tail ending in a stinger, and skin that seemed to be slightly luminescent in the darkness. He was looking up at her with larger than normal than normal eyes (she hadn't noticed the smaller set above them yet).
Ella realized she was staring, so she shook her head slightly, looked back at the odd teen and smiled slightly. “U-um hi there. Nero was it? It's nice to meat you.”
“Well now that you've met each other. Nero you have your things packed correct? Well then,” The man said turning back to Ella. “I doubt you have anyway to transport Nero's dragon so we'll have him brought over within the next few hours. It was nice meeting you, Ms. Shikoba. We'll be in touch.” Was the last thing he said before turning and leaving down the hall.
Ella still slightly in shock nodded her head. “Yeah, yeah. His dragon will arrive...wait...dragon?! What the hell do you mean dragon?!” Ella shouted down the hall as the man disappeared. What have I gotten myself into? She thought as she turned and waited for Nero to join her.
