Ocs today: Alecto, Megaera, Tisiphone, Demeter, Persephone
They are four genetically modified living weapons designed by the united states military using genetic material from angels. These units specialize in taking out dangerous single targets, including helicopters.
The army has also incarcerated a biologist specializing in angels and anomalous creatures, Dr. Persephone Grant. They are blackmailing her to try and gain as much information on angels as they can.
The furies are kept in a renovated hangar, filled with structures for them to climb and perch on. They have implants under their exoskeletons to shock them if they attempt to leave or rebel, and track them if they succeed.
Somewhat throwing a wrench in the plan, the furies have really started to grow attached to Persephone. They're displaying unusual behaviours, including preening and grooming her, and offering her pieces of their kills as gifts.
Persephone is... Hesitant to encourage this behaviour. She knows from what happened to her colleagues that you can't get too close to anomalies. But on the other hand... They're very charming when they try to appeal to her.
Alecto is very energetic, and is usually the first one of the group to engage with a target. She's the most open about her intentions with Persephone, and has used the English and Greek that she's been teaching the furies to flirt... In a way.
Secondly, Megaera. She typically avoids direct attacks when hunting, lurking in wait for prey who try to flee her kindness (the name Persephone has coined for a group of furies). As much as she tries to communicate not caring for Persephone, she has a habit of trying to take over from the other members of her kindness when they decide she needs her hair cleaned.
Tisiphone is quiet and came off to Persephone as cold at first. She assists Alecto in hunting, typically grappling prey to help Alecto deal as much destruction as possible. Preferring not to speak often, she still listens to Persephone's language lessons, and likes to wrap her wings around her when the scientist goes to sleep (the military forces her to sleep in the hangar with the furies).
Demeter serves as the leader, directing attacks and finishing off prey. She's a vicious hunter but is also a curious soul, listening intently to anything Persephone talks about. She prefers to observe and study rather than directly show affection to her caretaker. She's picked up a lot of English, using it to frighten guards and eavesdrop on unsuspecting officers.
While it's certainly a lot to get used to, the furies are the only thing Persephone even remotely enjoys about her stay here. She's constantly misgendered and ordered around, and forced to work late hours and autopsy corpses despite the clear discomfort it causes her.
The furies have picked up on this, and though they don't fully understand the idea of trauma yet, they're trying to make her happy, because they hate seeing someone they care about in such a state.
