** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Carnal inspired by "Metamorphosis" ![]() ![]() When the world discovered gene splicing it was a gift to some and a curse for others. The world now had the technology to cure cancer, escape disease, and create a new kind of human altogether. Though some had trouble admitting they were human at all. It started simply, merging pig genes with that of a human. The human body seemed to accept pig tissue more than any other creature. But technology grew and experiments grew more complex. It changed from just replacing human hearts with pig hearts and went to replacing entire chromosomes, changing the human genome. The earliest experiments had no choice but to take on a half human half animal form after their genes were spliced. Many were scrutinzed and even unaccepted by the public eye. So scientists began to develop a way of switching between human and animal form. Thus began a new sub-race of humans known as the Shifters. Shifters began finding a new role in society. From entertainers to soldiers to criminals. It is the Shifters now who will mold our future. It is the Shifters now who will save us from ourselves. ~***~ Characters: Victoria Wolfe - Wolf shifter. Brown hair, golden eyes. She has a patch over one eye when she lost it in an arena fighting match. She's cold and distant but a born leader. She doesn't take bullshit and she hardly laughs. She's always down to business but only if it's something worth her time. She's constantly appraising people and only surrounds herself with people she feels deserve to be there. But even though she is distant from most, she is extremely dedicated to the people she cares about and will do anything to protect them. Location: Beijing, China Occupation: Death Match Cage Fighter Simon Welsh - Black Panther Shifter. Short black hair, green eyes. He has tattoos that span the length of both arms and wrap around his back, also on his calves. He's light hearted and good humored. Though he tends to stay on the quiet, reserved side, he can really let loose when around friends. He's muscled and good in a fight. He tends to hide it when he's hurt or upset, instead playing it off with a smile or a joke. He's good at what he does, but seems to attract trouble and violence. Location: New York, New York Occupation: American League Show Fighter Lyle "Tex" Liddle - Viper Shifter. Sandy blonde hair, yellow eyes. His most famous quote: "It's pronounced Little." He is uppity, self-centered, sneaky and like his animal counterpart suggests, slimy. You never know if he's on your side or not, and that constant doubt and questioning usually keeps people at arms length, never getting close. He talks slowly, calculating his words. On his good days, he can have the humor of a clown. On his bad, he'll shoot his best friend in the head. Location: Cairo, Egypt Occupation: Tomb-raider, thief Jezibel Givessi - Snowy White Owl Shifter. Bleach blonde hair, sky blue eyes. She is soft spoken and gentle. White is her favorite color and chastity comes without question. She is quick to befriend and slow to anger or doubt. But she is smart and wise and knows who to trust. Her delicacy can sometimes work in her favor, making people underestimate her ferocity in protecting those she cares about. She's a girly girl, very beautiful, and silently deadly when she needs to be. Location: Paris, France Occupation: Dancer Alexey Romanova - Fox Shifter. Long black hair, piercing green eyes. He is Simon's younger half brother, they share a mother. He's cocky and arrogant. His favorite person in the world is himself, but that doesn't keep him from easily making friends and keeping them. Even with his odd humor and "I'm a badass" attitude, he's very protective and caring with his friends. He's a womanizer and a flirt. He share's his brother's penchance for getting into trouble. Location: Moscow, Russia Occupation: Bounty Hunter ~***~ Background Story: (Suggested) The backstory to this Interactive is that each of these characters were at one time mercenaries. They were hired or coerced into splicing their genes and in return for the free treatment, they would work on a mercenary contract for the government. These characters have either fled, fulfilled or still maintain their contract. At one time they all worked together - so feel free to have them meet up. The fun thing about interactive stories are the many possibilities, so please use the above backstory only as a suggestion. Feel free to make up your own backstory/plot/other characters. |
