Athena & Typhos

Athena and Typhos, or AT for short, is a Chimera, Athena is the feline head and controls the bulk of the body. Typhos is the snake head, and while he can control the main body it is very difficult for him to do so, especially if Athena is resisting him. AT's body, while made up of goo, has a very high viscosity, so they only drip or get messy in hot temperatures.

Athena is an ISTP; she's quite friendly and personable , with a free-spirit attitude when she's not on the job. However when she is working her head is entirely in the game and she becomes quite serious. Typhos is an INTJ; he is a bit of a curmudgeon and is not nearly as friendly as Athena, instead acting more as the voice of reason and cynicism for them. Typhos is tactically minded and always double checks the plan for each job and has half a dozen backups.

Athena and Typhos were created by a race of extra-terrestrials. These aliens grew to a stage where they'd seen all they could in the universe so ro populate their zoos they started creating new lifeforms, many if which were intelligent. AT was one of these created lifeforms. They were put on display in a zoo with many other laboratory created species, the theme of the park was life created from nothing. Every species in it was unique and bizarre in some way.

This was their home for many years, then one day AT was pulled from their exhibit and brought in to another lab. From here they overheard that they were going to be part of a release program. Their creators pulled creations from their zoo and sent them off to live on other plants. For what purpose they didn't say, though Typhos could think of many reasons such as making room for new creations or as a study on mixing planetary species. The extra-terrestrials drugged the two, then while they were out completely wiped all of their memories. This way they couldn't lead any civilizations back to their planet of origin to endanger their creators.

The chimera was compressed and shoved into a small transparent cylinder which was then packaged into a frozen compartment in a smallish asteroid and launched into space. The cold slowed the creature's body to less than a crawl, like a form of cryo. They had no idea how much time passed before they felt the rock around them begin to warm. Then a powerful impact shattered the asteroid and their container, splattering them on the ground beneath them. They had crashed on the island of Tetepare in the South Pacific. After pulling themselves together the two set out to find a new life on this.

Over the next years AT would establish themselves as a world famous career thief. Her body let her slip in anywhere and is almost never caught. The couple of times she has been, the authorities underestimated them and they escaped within days. They have a communication network online and through analogue means that let them check on their clients and potential work from anywhere in the world.

Because of their career, the two are always travelling. Sometimes they'll take commercial transportation, but most often they fly to new places by their own wing power. It's safer for them, and they get fewer odd looks. They have very few actual possessions. A few treasures are squirreled away at spots they've been to around the world, but for the most part they only obtain and bring what they expect they'll need at their next destination. Though that's not to say they live by modest means, rather Athena in particular prefers a lavish lifestyle when she isn't actively on a job.

Athena and Typhos are malleable and can exist in any world that allows for them. Being a goo creature they don't require a lot of the usual things like breathable air or foods. Temperature can be restrictive to them simply because of the nature of their goo, they have a hard time moving in extreme colds, and a hard time keeping a solid form in extreme heats, but these conditions, while bothersome, won't kill them.

In original canon A.T. exists in a slightly modified version of our world. It's our world as it is, but with the existence of anthropomorphic creatures as regular people, and low levels of magic.
