Name: Tio {Tee-oh}
Gender: Male
Species: Lab experiment/ hybrid canine
Personality: Very shy and thoughtful. Likes to please others, and by others I mean Dire, since she's the only creature he's ever known, besides the scientists. Tio is inventive, obedient, friendly, agreeable, modest, and honest. However, he has a tendency to be clumsy and get himself into trouble often.
Description: Roughly 4.5 feet at the shoulder. Wears a glass bell on a woven twine rope. His "mane" is usually a bit stiff and spiky, although it's just fur. Tio is the perfect combination of speed, strength, endurance, and obedience.
History: Dire and Tio where both experiments in labs, (how typical), the scientists where attempting to make a better breed of animal for guarding, police force, etc. By combining different animals and their different traits together. Their first couple of tries were complete failures, and the subjects didn't survive. But the third try, Dire, came out to be a living, functioning creature. However, somehow some bird DNA got into the creature, and it ended up with a bird's skull and spine fused to its own. This creature also had a nasty temper, and they were about to put it down when they forgot about it in the excitement of a new breakthrough, Tio. Tio turned out to be the perfect combination of strength, speed, intelligence, endurance, and obedience. They fussed over him for a while, then the excitement died down. They then discovered Dire, who they had left in a cage in the storage areas, as they were walking Tio. Tio immediately sat down in front of the cage and refused to leave his new friend. The scientists, fascinated by the friendship of the two lab creatures, agreed to keep them together and see what happened. At the same time, they continued testing and training both of the creatures, most often using a holographic world called "Ten". This is basically where Tio and Dire live, and all they've ever know.
