This is my first GTA fic, so feedback would definitely will be appreciated here. Just some quick notices that this story will have its own plot as well as follow along updates to GTA Online throughout the years. (Eg. 2015 Heists, 2016 Finance and Felony)
Also, I'm no furry. In fact, I dislike furries. The primary reason why an anthropomorphic animal is featured here is to add a new element, having someone different than the rest and how they will have to deal with it.
Anyway, let's start.
June 20th, 2014
'On October 29th, 1987, before they specifically specialized in scientific chemical production and development, the Humane Labs just north of Los Santos began an ambitious project. The project was to create the world's first animal with humanoid aspects. Apon the project's approval, several genetic tests involving different animal species, originally beginning with apes, humanity's closest relative, were carried out within three years. Many different abominations were created and soon were put down, but among the failed creations, there was one successful specimen created on June 3rd, 1990. One that completely fit what the scientists had hoped to create, and I am that creation.'
"This is cheesy, but it'll have to do." The person said and dropped their pen. They stared at the words on the notebook for a moment, and got up off the chair. They walked across the room and to a mirror.
In the reflection, was not a human face, but one of that of a raccoon standing at human height. He looked at himself and drew a deep breath. "Today is the day you've been waiting for, Felix. Don't fuck it up." He spoke to himself, giving a glare.
Felix, the official name he was given, had waited long for this moment. Since he was brought into the world, he had lived in a furnished basement section of Humane Labs that only few had access to. He had lived in the basement his whole life since the labs didn't want to stir up the public about going against their statement of being a perfume factory.
Another reason was the top researcher had also wanted to continue monitoring Felix's behaviour as time went on, despite the initial project ending.
Fortunately for the talking raccoon, he was finally being released due to pressuring from the International Affairs Agency that Humane needed to "move on" with their projects since they couldn't afford to create new projects to the IAA's liking and had to drop older projects after the disaster of the Labs raid from the previous year. Once he heard the news several weeks ago that the forced decision to let him go free, he was heavily delighted to finally experience the world for himself.
He perked up when he heard the distinct sound of an elevator coming down. He straighted his shirt and went to go see who it was. When the elevator opened, three different people stepped out and confronted him. He stepped back.
Two of them were men wearing suits, and the other being a woman with brown hair and blue eyes that were almost mocking him.
Felix recognized this woman well, as she sometimes visited the labs as a representative of the IAA. He full well known what kind of person she was, and did his best to not agitate her in the slightest.
"Can I help?" He asked.
"Of course." She replied. "Come with us to the outside world."
"I thought Jen was supposed to let me out." He said.
"There was a change of plans, now come on already." She motioned and did as he was told. They all entered the elevator and went to ground floor.
"Can I at least get a chance to say bye to the people I actually like here?"
"No. You already got your chance." She said sternly.
"But-" Karen looked at him with a death stare.
"Is this fucking sixth grade? On the document it said you were twenty-four, or is that like twelve in animal years?" Felix sighed.
"I'm trying to be polite around you since I got the damn memo not to piss you off already." He stated, annoyed.
"Good, you'd do well not to piss me off. I know you were a secret science experiment for years until today, but step out of line I won't hesitate to crack your skull. Don't think you're special, sweetie."
The raccoon decided to be quiet, taking the woman's hint.
The elevator doors opened up and Felix was shoved to go forward by one of the men. It was rare that he got to see the front lobby of Humane Labs. They walked by scientists, some of which that waved and said their goodbyes. Finally, they made it to the front door, and to the outside.
Once outside, Felix looked around at the night sky. It had been years since he last outside. The last time he did was when he tried to escape at age seventeen. The only sunlight he ever got were the special heat lights that were in the basement that acted as artificial sunlight.
The night was a little cold for San Andreas weather, but it was tolderable. They pushed him to the parking lot, and to a conspicuous black van. Karen pushed the raccoon forcefully against it and was pinned by the guards.
"Now let's go over some guidelines." She spoke softly. "You may walk around in public, but you will not say a Goddamn word about what happens in the Labs, or anything I do. I'm a ghost to you, understand?"
"Yes, yes." She grabbed fur on the top of his head and yanked it back, causing him pain.
"Good, and do not interfere with our operations, unless you're directly involved with us, which means never. If you do, you'll get the same treatment that Mr. K was supposed to get last year, and believe me, you don't wanna know." She explained.
"Alright, is that all?" Felix asked.
"Am I missing any details, gentlemen?" Karen asked the suited guards.
"None, Ms. Daniels." One of the guards replied. She released him.
"Then you're free to go. We'll give you some money for your troubles. In the meantime..." She hit the back of his head, knocking him out. "Load him into the van."
The guards lifted the unconscious anthropomorphic raccoon into the van quickly, and shut the doors. She got out a small stack of dollar bills and handed it to a guard.
"This is for him?"
"Yep. Put it in his pocket or something while he's out. Anyway, take him to south Los Santos, into the gang areas. He won't last a week there, and it'll be one less concern the IAA needs to worry about." She explained. The guards without a word entered the van and started it up. Karen returned to the Labs as the van pulled away from the area.
Later, South Los Santos
The van pulled into an alleyway next to the recreation center and stopped. The men got out and opened up the back. Felix had begun to wake up from his knock out.
"Where am I..." He asked, rubbing his head. The men grabbed both his arms and threw him out of the van forcibly. "What the Hell?"
"Here's for your troubles." The driver said and tossed the raccoon the stack of money. "Remember Ms. Daniels' guidelines, or we'll be back." He said coldly and the two got back inside the van and drove away, kicking dust into Felix's eyes.
He sat for moment, and then got up. He walked towards the street in disbelief and looked around. He was in the city, alright. He could see the skyscrapers of downtown just ahead, especially the Mile High Club which was still being constructed and the Maze Bank Tower.
"Welcome, Felix, to Los Santos." He said to himself.
A small short introductory chapter to start the story off. Probably wasn't written the bestie, but oh well. That's what feedback's for. Tell me what you think.
A quick note is that this story won't be updated regularly since I'm writing a much more popular story at the moment, so updates will be less frequent here.
