Vyrus OOC

[Whyntir]

Plot Recap

Very few people have access to Lab 7-0X, ran by Dr. Stuviod of the American Branch of Bio-chemical warfare. He is known as the father of the twelve Vyruses: scientifically generated mutations that infect a cell's DNA directly, integrated firmly into the genetics. The original purpose of these Vyruses were to create superhuman soldiers, each having their own unique ability, but because they interfere with the genetic code, this caused significant problems. Many of the subjects tested for the effectiveness of such intervention died, as the Vyrus would eat away a small part of the DNA to connect itself firmly, but shutting down vital systems in the process. Those that did survive were held under inhumane conditions and observed as test subjects. Dr. Stuviod also created a serum that extracted the Vyrus, making it no longer compatible with the host's DNA and cause death.

Somehow, the secret of Lab 7-0X was leaked to the public and the horrors surfaced. Under internal and external pressures, the United States government issued an immediate shut down of the facility. During the forceful cessation,the Vyruses were introduced to oxygen, causing them to change in molecular structure and became airborne pathogens. This knowledge caused a strict lock-down of the area, including a city thirteen miles from the laboratory, All living in the territory are under a constant surveillance. This all occurred five years ago, the Vyruses having yet to show up in any other compatible beings since the accident of their release. However, the city is still under a tight governmental watch. Special forces patrol the streets as though regular officers, armed with the special serum Dr. Stuvoid created, synthesized by the doctor's son. Some residents in the city have recognized that they are not as they were before, but fear grips them in this life where eyes are always watching, ears are always listening. No place is safe.

~~~

I don't have a full outline to the story, so it can be morphed in any particular way depending on the characters and their motivation and background. Basically, the story is that these people are being hunted down by the government due to how dangerous they are (or are thought to be) and they must find a way to escape the city, though whether or not they are ever going to be safe is another thing entirely.

If anyone else has any ideas for the plot, they will go here in this discussion as well as character sheets. I really only modified the roleplay and made the contents more mature from a site that is no longer on the net, but if you have any questions I will be glad to clear them up ASAP. Without further adieu:

A large, self-sufficient burghal roughly the size of New York City, sprawling out from the business centre and slowly whittling down to the residential suburbs that nestle near the woods that extend to the mountains, which are under constant surveillance against those leaving the "Contaminated" area. Special police roam the streets armed with guns that resemble a typical tranquilizer rifle, replaced with serum-filled darts.

Vyruses can either be civilians or escapees from the facility five years ago. Not many managed to get away, those that did are known and wanted by the government and have to hide far underground.

~~~

Aries- Allows the host to vibrate the cells in a chosen part of the body, allowing the host to travel through solid masses. Depending on the area of the body manipulated, it may take more or less time.

Taurus- Allows the host to condense cells in oneself to create a hard outer shell, but movement becomes more limiting while the Vyrus is in use.

Gemini- Allows the host to divide into slightly smaller doubles of him or her self. The more doubles there are, the harder it is to control them as a whole.

Cancer- Allows the host to release chemicals that control others’ moods.

Leo- Allows the host to change the outer cells of the body to match a selected color and texture, but moving will disrupt the illusion.

Virgo- Allows the host to make small objects by producing extra cells in the hands and feet. All objects must be biotic and this takes a great toll on the host's physical strength.

Libra- Allows the host to pick up the brain waves of other beings within a 2 meter radius of the host. If the host is not concentrating, they will hear the thoughts of every being in a 2 meter radius.

Scorpio- Allows the host to change shape, but very slowly and only to living creatures of close to the same size.

Sagittarius- Causes the host to reproduce cells quicker, allowing faster healing.

Capricorn- Stimulates the host's brain in creating more neuron connections, causing accelerated thought patterns.

Aquarius- allows the host to see short flashes of the fabric of time followed by severe pain and sometimes can lead to death.

Pisces- allows the host to release a catalyst into another Vyrus host to accelerate, boost, or advance the effects of the subject's Vyrus. If used in excess, the host will become physically drained and may fall unconscious.

Rules:

1. Only one Vyrus per character
2. If a refugee from the facility, the character must be five years over 18.
3. Appearances can be either anime pictures or written, but please be descriptive

I would suggest reservations if you don't post your profile all in one go.

Would you please reserve 'Virgo' for me... I will have the CS done by tomorrow.
Thank you! =)

Mackenzie Light
AGE // GENDER• Twenty two years old //♀
VYRUS • Cancer
HISTORY • Mackenzie lived alone for the majority of her life. Her grandma was too old to take care of her, and her parents were always traveling for work. Their visit was often a week long, if she got lucky, that is. But she didn't mind. Having a grandma meant that much more freedom for Mackenzie, and she didn't know her parents well enough to want them to be home more often. She grew up wild and free, rebellious, strong-willed, and determined to make things work for her - perhaps at the cost of others. She was happy, a little ignorant of what went around her, and self-centered - not that she minded. But she had missed the connection vital to making relationships, and as a result, Mackenzie said all the wrong things, ended up on the wrong foot with everyone, and suffered much for it. But she ignores it, and eventually she hardened herself to genuinely not mind. When her grandmother passed, she didn't shed as much as a tear, though she had unavoidably felt empty again. She jumped from foster home to foster home until she finally ran and found a place for herself. She works various jobs, doing whatever she has to for the sake of survival, and she doesn't mind at all. Eventually, everything's going to work out for her. A small part of her hopes her parents would be rich by now from their jobs, miraculously find her, and give her all the money she wants.
PERSONALITY • With a name that means 'born of fire' and 'son of a wise ruler,' you've got to wonder what a girl named Mackenzie is like. Nobody is disappointed when they meet Mackenzie, it's only after she's been caught in mischief that results disastrously for you that you find yourself wishing she was... well, less Mackenzie. True to her name, she's a fireball, brimming with fierce emotions and often at an extreme, one end of a spectrum or the other. She will be screaming her frustrations at you one minute - and rather harshly, might I add - and throwing her arms around you and giggling the next minute. She's a confusing little sprite, but people seem to be drawn to her regardless, most likely attracted to her never-ending energy and raw honesty. In truth, Mackenzie is extremely manipulative. She likes to get what she wants, and she is merciless in pursuing her desires. Because of this, you can expect quite a bit of mischief that results from her new powers...

Name:
Rita Abercrombie

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Vyrus:
Taurus

History:
Rita is one of the few refugees from the facility. She was part of the group that was subjected to inhumane testing and conditions during the operation of Lab 7-0X. Though many patients died, Rita's life signs slowly recovered after being injected and she was deemed a successful subject. After the exposure and the order of shutdown however, Rita was presented with a rare chance to escape before they put her down. Leaping at the opportunity, the 19 year old girl barely escaped and went into hiding within the city.

Five years later, Rita is living her life as she pleases. She significantly altered her appearance from before and now blends in with the general masses. She has a handle on using the Vyrus but, she purposely restricts herself because of the government soldiers looking out for people like her.

Personality:
Rita is an intensely nonchalant, laid-back person. Most things don't get to her because she honestly doesn't care about most things. Her number one concern in life is herself and her own well being and if it's not about that, why waste the energy in caring for it? In almost any situation Rita will remain calm and serene. Even when she does become angry, she doesn't fly off the handle and go into a rage mode. This demeanor makes her an easily approachable person but, only until you start speaking with her.

Socially, Rita is sacrastic, rude, and a bit of an ass altogether. Just like her attitude, she doesn't give a damn what people think of her words or opinions and will freely say what's on her mind at any given time. No one knows where her confidence comes from but, her confidence is very exuberant. In Rita's words, if you don't like what she says or does, you can either go f@&! yourself or do something about it.
