Name of character: Erek King
Number of books you've read: 36, I have also read 3 of the megamorphs, Visser, and The Andalite and Hork-Bajir Chronicles
Do you like spoilers?: not really
Why you want to play this character: Erek is my favorite supporting character. I've often wished I could be a non-violent and decent person, but because I'm human, that's not possible.

RP Sample:
My name is Erek King. I have been around for millennia. I was there when the Egyptians forced the Hebrews into slavery. In fact, I helped to build those pyramids. I saw the first performance of Hamlet. I was Beethoven's valet. I was Catherine the Great's hairdresser. The old saying is true: There is nothing new under the sun.
I am not human. You may think I am, but that's only a hologram you're seeing of curly blonde-haired teenage boy with dark eyes. Underneath that hologram, I'm an android. I am part of a race of androids called the Chee. We all look like robotic dogs walking on hind legs. We Chee were created by the Pemalites, and we resemble our creators. They evolved so much that they grew beyond war and all other forms of violence. So they programmed us for nonviolence as well, even though they gave us superior holographic technology and strength.
Then the Howlers came. They are the children of an evil being called Crayak. They annihilated the Pemalites and almost all of the Chee. We fled to Earth and discovered dogs. We embued the dogs of Earth with the essence of our creators. Thus, the Pemalites live on, more or less.
Now the human race is being invaded and they do not even realize it. A race of parasitic slugs known as the Yeerks threaten to enslave humanity. They enter your brains and take over. You're still able to be human, but you become a Controller, a prisoner in your own body. If the Yeerks succeed, they will leave Earth as barren as their world. They're so desperate they even tried to infest me. When the Yeerk got inside me, it became the prisoner. My head feeds it Kandrona rays so that it cannot leave. When the three-day period expires, I use a holographic projection of a Yeerk leaving my ear. I may socialize with their front organization The Sharing, but I actually oppose their ideals.
I am not alone. I have friends called the Animorphs. The Yeerks think they are all Andalites, but they're only partially right. They are humans and one Andalite. First is their leader Jake. He doesn't want to be the leader, but he understands the burdens and responsibilites of the position and embraces them. His cousin, Rachel, is a beautiful woman who loves a good fight but also has a compassionate heart. I truly wish she would listen to her heart more. Their friend Tobias is a nothlit trapped as a red-tailed hawk. He is only able to be human for two hours at a time, thanks to the Ellimist. Gentle Cassie is next. I truly see in her someone who may be able to find a peaceful solution to this war. Marco is the one I am the closest to. His mother is Visser One, the leader of the Yeerk invasion. I fear that one day, his personal feelings may jeopardize the mission.
Ax is the sole Andalite and Elfangor's brother. He's a good fighter, but he needs to speak his mind more.
So if I'm programmed for non-violence, how do I help them? I am their token spy. I give them the necessary info so they can have an edge in this battle.
And so I fight, not just for humanity, but for all who dwell on Earth. I have only abandoned my principals once. I hope never to do so again.
