?? The Apocalypse Virus ??

[Zodiac]

Introduction


Earth as we know it is thriving at this time. No more sicknesses, famine, or global warming. But the selfishness of the humans has driven them to create a creature that will make Earth thrive even more. Oh but they were wrong, very wrong. They had created a creature that carried a highly contagious virus. The virus only effected canines. It made them highly aggressive, willing them to attack their own pack mates. It caused their colors and markings to morph into the most unusual colors. It also caused deformations in the body. The most unusual of all, it granted them horrible powers.
The infected canine had broke out of the lab. It had run freely into the nearest forest. The virus easily spread into other canines. Soon, the infected canine had formed a pack of the canines it had infected. This is how the Apocalypse Virus became.

In-game username: robyn
Gender: Female

Personality: Athena is a young wolf living out in the forest as a loner. She doesn't know about the danger or virus that infects these parts of the woods, given she has not yet been infected yet. She is cheerful and happy but she can be quiet at times. She is a great fighter when needed but she cam be friendly. That is until the virus gets her. >:3
History: Athena was an only pup and she had an extremely strong bond with her parents. Shortly after she left the den to have a life of her own, they mysteriously died.

RP Sample: Athena walked through the dark forest at around midnight. She was timid, not liking the dark, and jumping when she heard a mouse squeak or leaves rustle in the wind. It was unusually quiet for these parts of the forest. Maybe a bit too quiet. She stopped dead in her tracks, seeing a pair of glowing, blood red eyes staring into her crystal blue ones. Her fur bristled and she got ready to fight, sensing that this figure was a threat. She blinked and it was instantly gone, fading away like mist.

-Damien padded up slowly to the scattered group of wolves, his muscles tense under his thick snow white fur, intense blue eyes burning with hatred. This was his chance for revenge, with a simple swipe, he could be the most hated wolf in the lands. He crept up slowly a smirk on his muzzle- "Time to regain my power...." -Damien chuckled evily and leapt-....

[Thunderlion123]

This is beautiful, and definitely an original idea.

But might I ask a question?

If the pack is made up of infected canines.... Then.... Does that count as an illness? XD
