We'll be needing a personality description, as well as a strengths and weaknesses section...
From what I've seen, hi seems like an interesting character but I request more details by way of what was changed by the scientists and how. I suggest searching Wikipedia for things about genetic experiments to give you a better idea. DNA splicing would not be enough to change his body so drastically unless this splicing was done while he was still young and growing. If it were done when hi was an adult, it would only change a few minor things (like hir teeth or claws which are always growing and changing anyway) because hir bones and musculature would already have finished growing. The same would apply to hir horns.
Of course, radiation could generate such growths in even an adult but there'd cause a lot of extra internal damage and external scarring (my character River being a perfect example). You have to remember that the scientists aren't perfect. They can't utilize one trait from one animal and merge it seamlessly with another. There are always side-effects, always damages and problems that develop along the way. ;3
