Spike Fisher

Spike Fisher is a character role-played by Grxff

Description/Overview
Spike is part cat, part human who was created in humane labs for the goal of creating a "new type of species" by genetically altering and splicing feline DNA with Human DNA.

Spike is the lone survivor to his knowledge to make it out of the Sydney lab after it was shut down due to ethical violations and violating multiple laws, he escaped from the lab at the age of 6 when the lab was raided and shut down, due to the shutdown Spike grew up on the streets doing whatever it took to survive including stealing food and learning petty crime. As he grew older he started to move from town to town....from country to country and eventually learned of the only place that might accept him for who he is, a town weirder than he was......Los Santos

((Spike is also known as a "tomcat" among his friends and due to his heightened testosterone (from not being neutered as a kitten) and lack of social skills from no education and life on the streets, Spike has a tendency to be extremely wild and unpredictable which can sometimes lead to situations that often get him in hot water))

"Project Nepeta"
((After breaking into the lab in Los Santos, Spike recovered classified documents about his "species" and the twisted experiments they did on him and people like him.....this is a small snippet from those documents))

"Our goal with the experiments featuring the feline DNA was to create beings of higher intelligence and to test the limits of the human body when altered with foreign DNA, the process involves sperm of the male feline species and sperm of the human male species, these are then isolated and mixed by a lab tech and once it reaches the right circumstances this blended formula is then injected into the egg of the female human species.

If everything goes correctly with very close monitoring and conditions being met eventually a fetus will be formed inside the human female where it will grow similarly to both a human fetus and the feline fetus but spliced

Many of these subjects do not make it to live birth and death usually occurs within the womb, out of three hundred or so attempts of these new mixed fetuses only 50 would make it to live birth and survive during the trials

After these fetuses reached infancy many would be observed as below average intelligence or having distinct abnormalities....all but 10 of these 50 initial subjects would die before the age of 5 in the human species terms, out of these 10 subjects they were deemed "successful"

in terms of the trials, these "hybrids" (as they were named by the workers at this particular facility) were marked down and have their own separate folders, the deceased subjects would be marked with a black circle on their folder whereas the surviving "hybrids" would be marked with a green circle"

- Breaking Into Humane Labs
A couple months after arriving in Los Santos Spike became curious about his origins due to hearing so much about Humane Labs looming on the eastern coast, while completely scared of the place he gathered up a group and led an operation into the humane labs, dressed in all black and in the cover of darkness the group snuck into the bowels of the humane labs which appeared to be empty, what spike saw shocked him.....large sized cages enough for a human, and a lab where there was case file notes strewn everywhere about genetic splicing and animal DNA.....knowing spike was in the right place he began to poke around....this is where unbeknownst to Spike and the group the cops responded in full force due to a silent alarm activating the 3 police officers who showed up were Flop Dugong, Crystal Clear and Olivia Copper. Upon questioning Spike about why he was poking around he explained that he thought the lab was abandoned and didn't mean any trouble and stated he was just trying to "Find answers" after having an emotional heart to heart with Olivia Copper (due to Spike reminding her of her late friend Clyde Eastside) she decided to let spike keep the files and dropped all charges of trespass....After reading the contents of the files Spike shut down for a while and faced with the horrors of the Contents he transcribed them before burning the original copies and instructions on making "hybrids" so they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands again.....Spike unknown to the people around him still has frequent night terrors and anxiety about humane labs and has dreams of one day destroying the facility for good.

- Becoming A Stray Again
After a rough patch involving multiple incidents of Spike getting in trouble both with his friends and Burger Shot and an incident with a hammer....He was promptly fired from Burger Shot and lost everything, his position as a hang-around, his friends, his job, his owner and his money......Spike after pretty much losing everything became increasingly depressed and decided to quit catnip and go seek rehab/therapy.....although after trying to make amends and rebuild what he once lost, while cold and wet in an alleyway, Spike came to the realization that its better off if he just left the city for a while.......Spike used the last of his money to book a ticket back home to Australia where he currently resides

Weird Knowledge And Facts

 * Due to not having a name apart from his subject name in his file which was (Subject A-315) Spike went by the name "Fish Stick" (due to him liking fish and not giving it much thought) prior to moving to Los Santos....apon arriving he was told by the government that he cant have that name and if he wants to stay in Los Santos he better come up with a new one.....he decided to name himself "Spike" due to male feline genitalia and thought that the name being an elaborate and hidden dick joke was funny, and the name "Fisher" coming from Fish Stick!


 * Spike is 73% cat and 27% human (this has been confirmed by a DNA test from PillBot) which leads him to a lot of grey areas, mainly around medical and how to and who can treat him.....he frequently visits little paws for checkups and can be treated in "human hospitals"


 * A breakdown of Spikes anatomy without graphic detail is externally he is entirely feline right to the skull and has a combination of human and feline internal organs, because of this he cant smoke cigarettes without violently coughing and drinking alcohol can make him throw up blood and lead to hospitalization.......strangely enough he can smoke marijuana without adverse side effects (he blends 50% weed with 50% Catnip)
