My name is Micheal, but you call me Mike. I can't tell you my last name, I wish I could, because that would mean I was a normal kid and that no one was trying to kill me. But I'm not normal and there are people, well they're not exactly people, but they want me and my friends dead. I would love to be normal again but I don't know if that will ever happen, I don't know if I'll even make it to next month. I can't even tell you the name of the town I live in but believe me when I tell you this was just like any other town, hell it may even be your town but it's nothing close to normal anymore. There are a lot of things I can't tell you but what I can tell is that Earth is in danger.
The controllers are everywhere, they can be anyone and that makes it hard for us to trust anyone. Who are we? We are the Animorphs, a handful of high school kids who are the only thing protecting the human race from the Yeerk invasion. What's a Yeerk? A small alien that resembles a slug, it crawls into your brain and takes control, making you a puppet, a Controller. Everything I'm telling you is the truth, and I have to write this down because if anything happens to us the world has to know, it needs to have a fighting chance to keep surviving until the Andalite's come. I really hope they do, they promised us and we can't hold back the Yeerks forever.
I realize I've just lied to you, this story will be full of lies, I promise not to lie about anything important but names of people and places need to be changed. Heck, Mike might not even be my real name but I won't tell you either way. I don't even want to think about what they'll do to us if they find us, but if were lucky they'll just kill us, if we are very, very lucky. I worry every day about keeping what I am secret and hoping I don't make a mistake that will bring an end to humanity. It's a lot of weight to put on the shoulders of a few kids but I'll bare it and I know my friends will too.
Anyway here's how it happened.
It all started at the mall, how cliche is that by the way, but that's the truth. A few of us were just at the mall, some of them I barley knew, others were good friends, but the point is we all left together and took a short cut through the old construction site. I saw it first, god I couldn't even believe my eyes when I did, it was a UFO, an Andalite spaceship. Then the others saw it as well, and then we saw it crash. Of course our natural human curiosity caused us to investigate, then as we got closer to the spacecraft it opened up. It was a stupid thing to do but we went inside, and saw the strangest looking creature we had ever seen. He was an Andalite named Price Elfangor, from a very advanced alien race, and he looked a lot like a blue furred centaur with four eyes, a long bladed tail, and no mouth. When he spoke we heard his voice in our minds, and he explained his war to us.
For generations the Andalites had fought a bloody war against the Yeerks.. The Yeerks had conquered many planets, and enslaved many races, and now they were going after Earth. A small fleet of Andalites were fight against them, trying to stop them from enslaving our race but they had failed, and he was the last surviving Andalite anywhere near earth. Though he had called for help it would take a few years before they could reach earth, and by then it would be too late. So he gave us a choice, he could give us a chance to fight the Yeerks, a chance to save the human race from being enslaved, but it wasn't much of a choice, I mean wouldn't you have done the same? He presented us with a small blue cube, the Escafil device, that rested in the palm of his hand and each of us placed a hand on it. Then we felt it. I can't even begin to describe what it felt like but I knew I had changed, and that was how we our power, the ability to morph.
Morphing is a very advanced Andalite technology, giving one the ability to absorb the DNA form any organism from a simple touch and from then on be able to take that organism shape. There are rules of course. The first rule, the most important rule is that you can only remain in a morph for two earth hours, any longer and you become stuck in that morph, and you can never morph again. Those who are stuck in there morph are called a Nothlit. Also you cannot morph directly from one morph to another, you must return to your original form then morph into another form. You can only acquire a morph from a living animal while you are in your original form. There were others but we didn't find those out until later, and the weren't as important, though they could have helped.
That was all he really had time to teach us before he ordered us to leave, he knew they were coming, the Yeerks, lead by Visser Three. He gave us some quick information on our new enemy, the Yeerks, and we left. After that Visser Three killed him, and they somehow got ride of the spaceship as well, because it was gone the next day.
So now me and a handful of other kids are left as humanity's last line of defense against total enslavement to an alien race. Sounds pretty crazy, believe me I know, but who else is going to believe us?

Okay so first I gotta say this is based of The Animorphs book series, I loved the book series as a kid and I figured it would be fun to sort of start it the same but with different people but obviously not keep everything the same and see where it goes. I have some some cool new ideas for it too and if anyone has some cool plans feel free to hit me up. I'm going to post some info on the different aliens and some pic to go with them. If you want to make your own alien race that's fine too.
The group of Animorphs should be pretty small for now so if you want to make more than one I'm going to say no more that 2 Animophs per person, but you can have other characters like an Andalite from the fleet who survived (a few survived that Elfangor didn't know about) or and there's no limit on characters who are Yeerks/Controllers. We can add more humans as the game goes on but the group should be pretty small to start out. If you have any questions feel free, and you don't need to have read the series to join, I haven't read them since I was kid so I got a lot of this from the internet.
