There are so many things wrong with this that its not even funny (mostly with his gun hand, which I tried to cover up, but meh).

Anyway, back in first grade, a seven year old Hotaru got an action figure from what was then known as K&K Toys (later KayBee toys) and wound up making up a character based on said toy. The toy had weird opaque visor that looked...beak-like to her so she pretended the action figure was a birdy (it had a little jet pack too...and GUNS). She named him Target (which was actually an alternate spelling of the action figure's name. There wasn't a "Target" store around here until much later). Target had no real back story, but was the closest a wee Hotaru had to an imaginary friend in elementary school...considering she had very few real friends because they all considered her a weirdo.

Then when Hotaru was nine, she saw Dinosaucers on the Family Channel (before it became Fox Family and then ABC Family) and Target became an archaeopteryx. He still didn't have much back story, but he became a part of a ripoff Dinosaucer's team (which would eventually evolve into Unforgiven) along with a few of her other OCs at the time (none of which have been revived just yet). But when as she entered middle school and then highschool, poor little Target became forgotten along with so many others...

Then shortly after I revived my very first OC "EZ", Target grew rather pissy and wanted to be brought back with equal sexiness, and so after much grief over trying to get his damned anatomy down, it was done...

Target (real named Zolomon Zendragga) is still an Archaeopteryx, But he also has Neo-child attributes (his mother was given Felanerol as an experiment to see how the drug would affect non-human races). Like the Neo-children, he has high endurance and stamina as well as a slow aging. He has no real super powers save for one small yet useful one: He cannot be detected by Psychics. Also, he now has a more humanoid face and more dinosaur-like anatomy (I just found a picture of Target drawn in '93-'94 and I very nearly threw up).

Personality-wise, he appears to be a cocky little thing, but in truth this is really just a smokescreen to hide his actual feelings. Hey, if almost your entire team (including your lover, who managed to get you to safety before he too died) was killed in front of you, you'd want to find various ways to forget too, right? He's a bounty hunter and an assassin, and is often seen traveling with Ezha, who mostly just keeps him from doing anything stupid (like shooting Bullet-Proof Metaflukes who put a hammer to your car and destroy the engine, which forces you to take your car to a Reclusive Mechanic Neo-Child and then get snubbed by said Said Mechanic's Possible AU Counterpart).

Oh Target, I can't believe I forgot about you after all these years. No let's watch people say you look like a Na'vi even though you predates Na'vi by a good 20 years or so.

Extra Information:

Target does have a pair of back wings to help him fly, he just hasn't discovered them yet (being retractable and all that), let alone how to use them.

Target and Ezha have have been best friends since they were both children. They met shortly after a six year old Target made a wish for a friend on a "Shooting Star," but little did he know that the "Shooting Star" was Ezha's family's space craft, which then crashed into the desert, killing everyone on board but Ezha himself, who was 10 years old at the time.

Target's entire body is covered in a tiny, thin layer of down-like feathers, giving his skin a velvety feel.

The bandanna Target wears around his neck was a memento from his long-dead lover.

Out of bullets? No problem! Target will just bludgeon you with his guns instead!

I only mentioned the Na'vi thing because I've noticed a lot of artist's with raptor characters have been getting that lately. Retractable claws actually sound like a good idea, although I'm not sure about removing any fingers. Thanks.

Ahhhhhhhh.... The Dinosaucers cartoon. I see you're a big fan of 80's cartoons, Ms Thodt. So am I.

And your OC Target looks badass as well. Awesome job once more.

Well, I was born in 1981 so of course I love 80s cartoons. ThunderCats, Wildfire, My Little Pony, GI JOE, Inhumanoids.

Thanks.
