How you met the leader: (As stated in part of my profile) Matt started attempting to run away from his problems, no longer having his twin sister to turn to. Usually he was found and brought back home or gave up when his limited survival skills proved to be failing him.
On one of his many attempts to run away Matthew headed south and ran into Raven. After holding him for three days to check that he was not a controller Raven explained to Matthew what was going on. Realizing this was what had happened to his sister, Matt jumped at the offer to be an Animorph.
NOTE: I was reading the Chicago thread (also the Vancouver thread) to catch up on what's going on. If it works best I could go with being the "young boy" Raven spotted. I didn't say this in his appearance (have modified it), but I picture Matthew as looking younger than his age.
Name: Melanie 'Mel' Faction Leader: Matthias Current morphs: Deer,Cockatoo How you met the leader: After Chicago fell to the Yeerks, Mel didn't want to leave not knowing what had become of her sister, but she didnt' want to stay and be caught either. She moved west, at first not really sure where she was going. *It's like The Stand* she thought. *No, that book about the Tripods, right down to the mind control...except no one's wearing funny hats* After a while, she ended up heading accross the border to Canada. She'd always wanted to visit, but not under these conditions. After finding her way into Vancouver, she found whispers of a resistance, and eventually found her way to Matthias. After the standard three-day waiting period, she was cleared.

Desired Faction Leader:Lex Creedy Your current morphs:Fox/Mosquito How you met the leader: Lex and Tim knew each other when the whole Yeerk take over began. They were on the run together for awhile. One day, however, during one of Lex's "hero" moments, they got seperated. Tim became depressed by this fact, but pressed on, staying on the run. Eventually, he made it to Dallas somehow, stil having not met any resistance of any kind. He was walking close to Lex's HQ for his faction (which he found out later was called "The Temple") and Lex, not recognizing him, thought he was a Yeerk getting too close. However, upon realizing his mistake, Lex offered Tim a chance to be part of his faction. Though of course they would have to wait 3 days to be sure. Tim agreed, but said he would complain the whole time and aplogized in advance.

Desired Faction Leader: Raven Your current morphs: Fox, Cardinal How you met the leader: After things went to a state of panic, her parents gone and the rest of Chicago seemingly chaotic, Layla was a bit unsure of what to do. She decided to make a plan of some sort, staying in her house and surviving on the food she had left. Her plan, in her mind, would have to consist of some way to conquer these Controllers and such. Alas, she couldn't think of anything.
After a week or so of staying in her house, she left her house to try her plan out. Unfortunately, her plans were foiled and she was forced to retreat from a couple of angry yeerks. Once she had reached safety, and after a few gasps of relief, she looked at her surroundings. She ended up in a forest. A bird was looking directly at her, though, she had a feeling that it wasn't a normal bird. Ravens were rather rare in Chicago anyhow.
She approached the bird, which flew away as if trying to lead her somewhere. Not knowing of anywhere else to go, she followed the raven. It was then that the bird morphed into a human (Raven). They had a small discussion, Raven seeing her retreat from the yeerks. She also told Layla about the Animorphs, since it was obvious she was rather startled when Raven morphed. It took a lot of convincing, but Raven took her to HQ, having her become an Animorph herself.

Desired Faction Leader: Mathew Your current morphs: Grey Squirrel, Blue Jay How you met the leader: After wandering California for several months, Steve found himself in Los Angeles. he wandered along the edges until he came to a beach. He walked along its edge for some time until he came across a seemingly deserted beach house. The door was unlocked so he walked in. He searched all of the cabinets and the refrigerator and discovered alot of fresh food, as if someone still lived there. As he was putting it all in his backpack, he heard a noise from outside. He decided to see what was out there and when he looked, the only things out there were a couple of birds. He turned around and went back to raiding the house. Suddenly, a door slammed behind him and there were four people standing there, who he latered discovered were Mathew, Rian, Jullian, and Ember.
How You Met The Leader: During the commotion of Steve's arrival at the Haunt, Katrina was drawn to the area by a bit of noise. She came to investigate what she heard, catching a peek of the LA faction and the now tied up Steve. Having a minimum supply of knowledge about the yeerks from the refugees she had met, and having little to no knowledge of a resistance, Katrina got the wrong idea and thought the group of four were yeerk's intending to enslave the hostage boy. Her plot to "rescue" Steve was noble, too bad her facts weren't exactly straight. >.>;;
How you met the leader: Lukas has actually yet to meet Matthias. However, he had been made an animorph by Cassie, as he stumbled across her during his travels. After taking certain measures to ensure that he was not a yeerk, she gave him the ability to morph. However, the newly gifted Lukas didn't go with his new mentor on her journey, as his inexperience would have made the journey much too long, arduous and dangerous. Instead, after hearing his story, Cassie directed him back to Vancouver, where he would find a resistance movement of Animorphs. With description of the hideout and of Matthias, Lukas bid Cassie farewell and set off to the north, aided in his travels by his newly obtained goose morph.
Lukas has now returned to his former home, searching desperately for the members of the Vancouver resistance, so that he can begin to assist in their fight against enslavement.

He and his skunk looked around it when suddenly his skunk reared his hind legs up and lifted his tail over his head. Mitch whirled around and almost missed a dark shadow moving through the brush. After the person or people (doesn't matter who or which morph or how many) and then gets tied up for three days.

Desired Faction Leader: Rian Your current morphs: Meerkat, Burrowing owl How you met the leader: Diana's meeting of Rian's group was a simple case of wrong place at the wrong time. On her way to meet with a potential employer, she wandered into a small hotel. Quickly realizing that she was not in the right hotel, the thugs that saw fit to run said establishment got a little too friendly with Diana. In search of a temporary base of operations, Rian's group showed up with hopes of using the modest lodging accommodations. What they got was a fight; a fight that Diana was prepared for after weeks of being on her own in Sin City.
Desired Faction Leader: Raven Your current morphs: Burrowing Owl, Golden Labrador Retriever How you met the leader: They have an ongoing past relationship. She thought him dead, and he thought her dead. Now they both find out otherwise.

Desired Faction Leader: Raven Your current morphs: KodKod and Snow Bunting How you met the leader: She was standing, hidden in the stairwell, watching a weird looking moster try to drown her sister in a pool of slug-water. Every inch of her was crying out "SCREAM, you idiot. They're killing her!" Just as she opened her mouth to scream, a strong hand clamped over it, all but silencing her would be scream. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," a strange male voice whispered in her ear. Scared, she fought to break free of her captor, failing to even move his muscular arm. She couldn't see him as he carefully lead her back up the stairwell and out onto the street. The street lights cast an eerie sort of pale glow on a girl headed her way. "What was so important that you had to rush off, Riley?" the girl asked, barely noticing Kiera. "She nearly walked right into the yeerk pool," said the male voice behind her. Slowly, he let her go, as if trying to judge if she was still going to scream. The moment she was loose, Kiera spun around, prepared to fight her captor. It was a tall, muscular boy, not much older than her. In her head, she knew that she couldnt take this Riley person, but she would try. "What do you think you're doing?" Kiera demanded. "Those things down there have my sister. They were drowning her. She might be dead!" The girl, now behind her, let out a strange sigh, almost as if she felt sorry for Kiera. "She's not dead, hun," the girl told her. "It's much worse than that." "What are you talking about?" Kiera demanded, not taking her eyes off of the football-player wannabe. Riley and the girl looked at eachother, as if deciding what to do. "She's not going to believe us," Riley said. "We'll have to make her believe."
