Plot
Since humans first discovered the existence of gorgons, they've kidnapped and experimented on them. The goal was to create an army of genetically altered gorgon's under the government's control. Only one of them has escaped and she has no intention of being captured alive.

Setting
Set in a not so distant future with more technological advances...particularly in genetics and bio-weaponry.

Original Gorgons
According to myths, gorgons were an all female race with snakes for hair and an gaze that could turn people to stone. Well...that would be mostly true. Gorgons can turn people to stone, but normally only if they wish to, and they do have snakes for hair. One difference is that their lower bodies are like that of a snake, complete with a tail. They also had bat-like wings, bronze claws and tusks.

Modified Gorgon
Aedra was the first successfully bred, and altered, gorgon. She appears mostly human except for eyes that turn red, and her wings. She has large black wings that are mostly bat-like...but with sparse feathers. She does retain the natural bronze nails, but lacks the tusks.
