Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill

Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill (Ilraen for short) is an agent in the Department of Implausible Crossovers. He is written by Neshomeh.

Appearance
As an Andalite, Ilraen looks like a blue-and-tan centaur with a deer's lower body and a scorpion's tail. He has four eyes: two main eyes in the usual humanoid place, and two stalk eyes at the top of his head. His nose is three vertical slits in the middle of his face. He has no mouth, but speaks in thought-speech, represented by triangular brackets. He eats by absorbing nutrients, preferably from grass, through his hooves. For pictures, see his other profile.



Morphs

 * Human: 5'8", willowy, somewhat androgynous young man with bright ginger hair and green eyes.
 * Gold dragon (Pern): large, though more long than tall; of a rich medium-gold hue.
 * Red-orange dragonhawk (WoW): a creature resembling a sea dragon with wings, about four feet long from beak to tail, with bright, translucent feathers on its wings.

Personality
Ilraen's personality is still developing. As such, his attitude comes across as somewhat childlike. By default, he is curious, eager to please, and polite. However, he insists upon being treated with the respect due someone of his biological age. He is well aware that his chronological age is laughable. He isn't laughing. If anyone else does, they should be advised that he is liable to take their head off.

He is ignorant of many of the niceties of relationships, but if there's one thing he knows, it is the meaning of friendship. A kind word makes you a friend in his book, and with that come unflinching trust and loyalty. The breakup of canon relationships in badfic is likely to bring out his homicidal side faster than any amount of bad punctuation and spelling. His own partner's tough love, if it can even be called that, confuses him, but so far he's adapted to it well.

Recruitment
Ilraen was brought to the PPC in 2006 HST by Agents Twiggy and Brittany of the Department of Cool and Unusual Punishment after they rescued him from a badfic in which his only role was to use the Escafil device on a Mary Sue. He had no name, no personality, and no description. The first was given to him by Agent Twiggy. The rest came, in time, with intensive therapy in the Department of Fictional Psychology. There, he received a culture implant which includes Andalite society, the Animorphs canon, and certain knowledge of his potential potential (yes, you read that right). In theory, this means that he knows how to morph and to use his tail-blade to best advantage. Thusfar, it remains a theory. He acquired a Frolis Maneuver human morph from donors in the Lounge (including Nurse Robinson and Agents Supernumerary, Ginger, and Kit H), but hasn't quite got it worked out yet. The process tends to be on the messy side and he can't morph clothing to save his life or his partner's sanity.

PPC Career
Since his official recruitment in 2007, Ilraen has been on three recorded missions with Agent Supernumerary in Implausible Crossovers. In his own words, he has read "several books of canon" and is "eager to learn." In the third mission, he learned an important lesson about the effects of badfic on the characters therein. As an agent, he is maturing rapidly and developing an interest in technology.
