Realistic or Modern Virus [CS][OPEN]

[Raku]

The year is 2017. But in this universe, biogenetic tech is much more advanced. Insane projects have been done that we wouldn't think would be possible in our world. In fact, the tech is so advanced it has the capability to alter someone's appearence. In this universe, you can go somewhere to have your hair color changed or your eye color changed or even your skin color changed, all through the use of biogenetics. But, the industry hasn't just attracted the attention of people who don't like the way they look, it's also gained interest from the military. They thought, "How can we make the greatest soldier?". Well, let's just say someone had the brilliant idea to combine human and animal genetics to make the greatest soldier. Just imagine a cheetah in the Marines or an otter in the Navy SEALS or-you get the gist. They were doing everything right, so they thought. The method they used was something like a virus. It is introduced to the system, and as it's "infection" progressed it would change the once human individual.Two forms were made, one that is more airborne while the other is more "contagious" through contact. Both had worked! There were some occasions with a few different strains where the subject went feral, which wasn't pretty. Sometimes the subjects go a little crazy and, well, same results as the feral subjects. Now of course, these test were kept hidden from the public. It was a well kept secret, until "it" happened. Some think it was a disaster, some think it was a planned strike. Whatever it was, something bad happened. Some sites, an unexplained explosion occurred, others a sudden power outage to containment, either way, the "virus" was released. As it spread, other nations shut their borders to the U.S. Soon there was conflict within the States. Not just humans versus infected and survivors versus ferals, but a group versus the government. Chaos is probably the best word that could beused to describe what used to be America. And your characters will be going through it all from the start

The one rule I really have for characters is to not make them op. Give them some flaws cause nobody is perfect. Also, you

Nicknames : None yet
Age : 33
Occupation : CEO and founder of Cerberus Arms, a weapons manufacturing company.
Public Reputation : Very famous. He is seen as a charitable, laid back and humorous man by the public.

Personality : What people see on TV and in the news about Dal is how they think he really is, but it's just a façade. When there's no cameras in his face he is serious man. He seems pretty dull and emotionaless most of the time. He doesn't like to joke around and can be described as critical. Although he will never openly admit it, he is a bit of a perfectionist. He can be bossy at points but he knows when he is going to far. Once he gets used to you he will begin to lighten up a bit. But wait till he finds someone with similar interests to his, that's when he'll really loosen up and becomes a little friendlier, but he'll still keep that serious tone. A couple good parts of his personality is that he is intelligent and a leader. Also, he has a sense of humor in there, you just have to dig for it.

Details


Bio : Born into a wealthy family, Dal got the best of the world. Best schooling, athletics, and tech. Ever since he was little he loved technology. As he got older it shifted towards weapons and weapons tech. He was a straight A student and excellent in athletics all throughout high school. It was his science record that caught the eye of some prestigious universities. One of those was the Harrison University of Biogenetics. This college was one of the biggest in the biogenetics field. They wanted him at the school because of how well he did in science and tech. Of course, he went for a few years, but once he graduated he decided to take a different path in life.

Dal went into the Army at the age of 23. His contract was 3 years. When he was in service one thing he was constantly bothered by was how inefficient his weapon could be. Sure, it did the job, but there were so many things he could improve. This is when he got the idea, he should create his own weapons. Once out of service he got to work. There was a large amount of money he had in a bank account and not to mention his parents wealth. He went to work on Cerberus Arms.

Past all the legal work he managed get his company up and running. Cerberus Arms began pumping out weapons quickly. Soon it went from a multimilliona dollar company to approaching a billion dollar company. It became nationwide, with his headquarters in St Louis. He even signed a deal with the military. So now was he not only making weapons for hunting and law enforcement, but also the military. By the time he was 31 he was more wealthy than his parents were.

All was going well, until the government showed up with an odd request. The wanted to use some of his towers and buildings as labs for a biogenetic experiment. He knew that declining this would not end well for him. Their agreement is that the basements, which were used for storage at the time, could be used for these experiments. That was a couple years ago. He had been helping with these experiments too.

On top of the Bucket Hat addiction Quincy prefers to combine his favorite hat with an array of sunglasses hidden in a drawer in his bedroom.

Q also doesn't have a distinguished and exclusive style when it comes to shirts and pants. He dresses very casually preferring comfortable clothes for recreational uses.
Extras : Quincy is a little chubby seeing as he isn't too big on exercising and working out. He's pretty skilled at sports such as football and basketball but just never expends work on his own body.

Details

Bio : Quincy grew up in a Compton city with high rates of violence and murder. This had not bothered him but he nevertheless fell to the lure of gang life, influential figures in his neighborhood were able to suck him into joining the local gang of Crips. The promise of fat stacks and living like a "G" was too tempting too resist. He'd smoke marijuana and deal contrabrand with these so called "friends" of his. Despite these negative influences, Quincy did somehow manage to keep relatively high grades in high school.

After graduating high school Quincy didn't plan for what to do next. He continued to sell contraband up until an incarceration for possession of marijuana before being bailed by one of his fellow gang members, he'd stop dealing contraband and take interest into DJ'ing. Quincy would DJ for local bars and parties for whoever was willing to pay for his services. Eventually, these services had paid off after Quincy was recognized by a renown rapper.

After Quincy had met up with a renown rapper Quincy had been signed to a record label to produce for rappers signed to the label. He'd be producing for rappers and getting paid an average salary before one of the rappers on the label reached a higher level of success. This rapper would be ready to achieve critical acclaim as he headed into a bigger label, however, he had lacked a producer and in doing so had enlisted in Quincy long-term.

After this enlistment Quincy and his acquaintance had produced and recorded a platinum record which would reel in massive amounts of income for both Quincy and his acquaintance. After the massive success the two reached they had been set for the rest of their lives. Quincy would invest in a luxurious home and would receive overwhelming positivity from his contract with the record label and the album.

After the immediate success deriving from the album and contract record Quincy would invest in a home alongside other luxuries. Quincy would stay within the confines of his home, smoking cannibus, going outside to socialize with friends. Quincy has a harmonious and peaceful life. He has no current worries and if any immediate or sudden changes to Quincy's lifestyle were to occur then Quincy would be left very upset and angry.

Relationships : A Mistress he'll occasionally fly across the nation to visit.
Skills : Adaptability, Quincy is able to adapt to most situations due to run-ins with the law that required him to make quick escapes at a young age. Quincy has the unique ability to make the best in bad situations while maintaining a level head. Arms Expertise, Quincy was brought into a gang set at an early age and as a necessity had to learn how to handle a weapon, Quincy has a relatively good aim and can reload his firearm quite quickly.
Weaknesses : Not the fittest, Quincy is a little chubby and has not placed any emphasis on body work or exercise. It especially doesn't help that Quincy is a marijuana addict and smokes quite often and can tire out faster then others. Passive-Aggressive, Quincy can be very laid back and lack any care for serious problems, he'll pay little attention to pressing matters at times. And if Quincy isn't causing issues with his lack of care he can have a shift in personality and become extremely hostile towards those that bother him.

The Individual

Name : Vannessa Myers
Nicknames : "Nessie"
Age : 25
Occupation : Muay Thai instructor and former fighter
Public Reputation : Her Muay Thai gym is somewhat well known and has over 40 established students, while she's decently recognized for her time as a professional fighter.
Personality : Vannessa is what people would call "laid back", given that she has never really cared about how she comes across to other people or how she looks to them. Now, she's not mean or hateful or anything of the sort, she's just brutally honest and isn't afraid of telling people the truth no matter how much it could hurt their feelings. Loyalty is, while something very appreciated on her end, something that is very hard to get out of her. Severe trust issues make her a little difficult to deal with in some situations and can also cost her potential friendships. None of this is to say that she completely lacks human emotion or any sort of affection within her, as she is still capable of falling in love and the such but it takes time and effort to get to any of that with her.

Appearence

Faceclaim: Valentina Shevchenko
Height : 5'10
Weight : 143 lbs
Eye Color : Green
Hair Color : Dirty Blonde
Clothing Style : Vannessa tends to wear very casual clothes, usually jeans or leggings with a plain shirt and sometimes a basic jacket if it's cold. Her preferred color for shirts is usually either white or black since those colors tend to be basic and don't require any sort of fancy matching to look good on her, her favorite shoes are sneakers since they're comfortable and easy to slip on and off. Vannessa will usually wear tank tops under her shirts, and sometimes even instead of shirts. On special occasions she might wear a red or blue dress and high heels. Even though she doesn't particularly care about how fancy or pretty her clothes look, she doesn't like wearing dirty clothes because it feels uncomfortable to her.
Extras : While she's physically fit and capable, she is laid back when it comes to her weight so she isn't incredibly toned, but far from what someone would call "chubby".

Details

Bio : Vannessa was born in Conneticut, where her grandparents and parents both grew up since birth. Her mother was Joanna and her father was Lukas, who had started out his career as a professional kickboxer back in Poland where he was originally from. It was because of this background, that he decided to start teaching Vannessa since the age of three, with the hopes that she could one day make a career out of her fighting skills. All throughout most of her childhood, Vannessa lacked interaction with other kids in favor of homeschooling and passion for learning martial arts. When she turned eight, however, both of Joanna's parents died and the family couldn't bear to remain there after that, so they decided to move to Miami, where she'd spend the rest of her childhood and teenge life.

Due to the drastic change in environment and the fact that her parents had to find jobs, Vannessa was enrolled in public school for the first time in her life. She did surprisingly well in school, not failing a single class or ever finding herself getting bullied. Bullying, however, was the source of her passion of teaching others how to fight. This school was where she met her first boyfriend at the age of 15, and it was easily one of the happiest days of her life. His name was Michael and they were pretty much what someone would expect; holding hands, cringy Instagram posts, grand Valentine's Day gifts, etc. The only problem with Michael was that he got bullied often, so Vannessa took to teaching him how to fight throughout high school and realized that's what she loved to do.

After graduating high school, the two remained together through college, which Vannessa dropped short of finishing to pursue a fighting career like her father did when he was younger. Her career was relatively short, ending with a record of 19-4 with a single failed attempt to win a championship. After her stint as a professional fighter, she met up with Michael and after a very long talk ended up remembering her love of teaching. This sent her on the path to open a gym of her own and starting classes at the age of 24, only a few months after her fighting career ended. After about the year of running the gym, Michael broke up with her, which made her a lot colder than usual.

Vannessa currently dedicates all of her time to her gym because that is her passion, and she has been doing quite well for herself. She even managed to purchase a property of her own and live alone with her dog, which had always been a goal of hers. Her life is going well at the moment and she's just enjoying herself and her work for the time being, away from all the troubles of the world... for now.

Relationships : None thus far
Skills : Fighting, beginner-level parkour, fast runner, good at formulating strategies.
Weaknesses : Lack of training with weapons, bad driver, recklessness, awful at bulding/fixing things.
Likes : Exercising, swimming, animals (naturally occuring), sleeping, fighting.
Dislikes: Liars, guns, politics, anything to do with mathematics, tight spaces.
Fears : Dying too soon in her life, losing the people close to her, corpses, earthquakes.
Habits : Vannessa tends to hit the ground/wall/table if she's resting near one without even noticing until her hands hurt a little.
Quotes :
"If you can breathe then you can get your ass up and train."
"What's the matter? Scared of losing to a girl?"
