Plot

What would you do if food wasn't within reach anymore? If suddenly you were in an unknown world, filled with unfamiliar things?

The year is forgotten. Left in the dust of the past to quickly fade from human history. Instead, numbers are now used to tally days passed. Days survived.

It was another world war that finally brought the Earth crumbling to its knees. Humans waged war with each other, and not only did they have to face the consequences of their naivety and selfishness in the end, but so did every other living being.

In the end, it was all of us who had to pay the ultimate price of the humans' sins.

Fortunately, many died instantly. A large portion of those who didn't die off right away, starved to death, or succumbed to illness or injury. These days even a slight cold could prove fatal for not just one being, but for everyone who comes in contact with them.

Those who refused to crawl into Deaths maw willingly, found themselves facing a battle greater than they have ever witnessed. Not only was Earth changing into a barren cruel beast, but they themselves were changing into what humans used to look at and call monsters.

Neurotica, Zombies, this "disease", and the things infected, who are called Kiseki, go by many names. It is assumed that the disease is somehow related to the radiation that is slowly strangling the planet. But that hasn't been proven, and quite possibly never will be.

Neurotica may be passed by a single touch. The first stage of Neurotic is the inability to sleep. The one infected will become increasingly paranoid and may become aggressive. The second stage they start developing lesions on their skin. It is not known how or why, but it is known that these lesions heal at a later stage for a very select few of Kiseki. These special Kiseki often mutate in some way, and become unrecognizable and separate from the species they had belonged to when they were unaffected. That's all we know about them. We do not know if they are able to communicate or think. We know nothing.

It seemed hopeless. But then we discovered the Bond. For some reason, surviving animals and humans were able to connect with each other on a level no one has experienced before. Not only that, but a pair may communicate with each other if their Bond is strong enough. Interestingly enough, a human is not able to talk to another humans animal companion, and vise versa. Suddenly hope was born again, for an animal that is able to bond, is mutated into some shape or form, and is immune to Neurotica. We think they may already carry the disease, but for some reason it affected them differently than it did with other species.

More hope is born and spread when a human banded a group of survivors together and created a large domed city. This city was everything that people dreamed of. Food, clean water, houses, and most of all, security and safety from the dangers outside. Survivors flocked to the city, named Altaraz in hopes of starting a new life. However only the healthy were deemed "acceptable" and the rest were turned away.

The ones unaccepted turned away from the domed city, living on its outskirts and forming their own sort of band. While these Outsiders were deemed "ill" and turned away, something coursed through their veins. Little did anyone know, the Outsiders held the abilities of the creatures the Bonded had worked so hard to companionize in their own hands.

Where will you stand amidst the chaos? An Outsider rebelling against the peaceful life your group has grown upon, a burning lividness towards the Bonded for turning you and everyone else away? Or maybe your a Bonded human who yearns for some connection with the Outsiders once more. For adventure.

Rules

• Follow all WP rules

• No Godmodding/Powerplaying

• Character limit is 3 per person, for now. This may change.

• Don't overpower your characters. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

• Killing off characters without their players consent is a big no-no. Pretty self explanatory. You wouldn't want your character randomly dying without your say, would you?

• Don't auto. Autoing is when someone doesn't wait after performing an action to act and/or respond to what happened. Ex; Yuí runs forward and kicks Max in the shin before running away laughing. See? Completely skipped over the other person and didn't allow them to respond.

• Please be mindful of Metagaming. This is when a character suddenly and somehow knows something because of out of character retrieved information. Ex; Player sees two other characters not in the same vicinity to their character, talking about overthrowing the council. Suddenly their character knows these two are going to overthrow the council. Of you've read this far, go ahead and put "I know" in other

• If there is a specific animal you'd like to have as your characters bonded companion, pm me and we can figure something out! As this roleplay doesn't take place too far into the future, the Earth's animals will remain the same. No dragons or unicorns please <3

• Like the above, if there is a mutation you were just really hoping to use and its not on the examples list and you aren't sure if you can use it or not? Pm me!

• Humans that live in the glass domed city are free of any mutant abilities. Outsiders that live outside the domed city have mutant abilities, but no bonded animal (doesn't mean you can have regular pets <3)

• Be as active as possible. If you are planning on taking a break or hiatus from game, let either LIZZ. (p# 324020) or Urux (p#: 315026) know before you up and leave. If you dont, and you don't reply to the roleplay within a week, you will be removed, and you'll have to sign up again.

• Minimum of 8 sentences per post, please. Preferably, I'd like to see at least two or three paragraphs per response x if not more, then that's always welcomed. Just remember to give someone something to respond to in your posts. And please don't go off and try to start a 1x1 with another player in the roleplay forum. Please make sure to include everyone.

• I may add more to this later, but for now this is it <3

Altaraz City Laws

• Citizens residing inside Altaraz are permitted from socializing or intervening with Outsiders.

• Leaving the dome is highly looked down upon, however, should it be over necessity, permission will be granted.

• Commanders word is law. Follow it and live in peace. Disobey and suffer the consequences.

• Breakage of these laws will result in severe punishment. Possibly exilation.

Roleplay Terminology

Neurotica - or Zombie. The disease that is spread through physical contact. Symptoms last 4 weeks in total before your transformation is complete.

Kiseki - People, or animals that have been infected with Neurotica. They are referred to as such as soon as symptoms start.

Altaraz - The domed city in which survivors, the Bonded live peacefully.

Bond - The connection between a human and an uninfected animal. After the bond is set the animal companion in question will begin its mutation, becoming in tune with its partner with the ability to communicate via telepathy. The closer the bonded pair grow, the stronger their communication skills will grow and the higher the chances of other mutations forming within the animal companion specifically.

Animal Companions

Though it is considered normal to have smaller to medium sized grade animals, every so once in a while a larger grade animal will be bonded with. Its rare and sought after, but often, the humans can't choose their companions. No... Its the other way around. (Please pm me if you are interested in something off of this list and aren't sure if its allowed.)

Small Grade Examples ⇓

(Considered the weaker out of the three grades, but they have their own benifits. Small bodies and senses.)

- Rodents; Ferret, Mouse, Rabbit, etc...

- Birds; Budgie, Falcon, Owl, Parrot, etc...

- Procyonids; Racoons, Kinkajous, Nasua, etc...

Medium Grade Examples ⇓

(Considered the most common out of the three, with a bit of training these animals will make great companions.)

- Mustelidae; Otter, Skunk, Badger, etc...

- Canidae (in some cases); Coyote, Fox, Dog, etc...

- Reptiles; Snake, Turtle, Lizzard, etc...

Large Grade Examples ⇓

(The rarest out of the three and are usually considered as dangerous or aggressive. Especially if not trained properly. They are highly respected if properly taken care of.)

- Pantherinae; Lion, Tiger, Jaguar, Leopard, etc...

- Caniforms; Bear, Wolf, Seal, etc...

- Cervidae; Reindeer, Moose, Elk, Deer, etc...

Mutations

Every bonded animal has the ability to stay uninfected before they are bonded, causing them to be rare to find among the Kiseki's. When bonded, the pair automatically seems to have a sense of understanding between each other that will soon lead to telepathic communication. By that time, if your lucky, the animal companion will have gained another mutation or two. These are used both as a defense towards itself and to keep its companion safe as well. The Outsiders also have their own mutations, 1-3 depending on the person. (Again, let me know if there is an idea you'd like to have your character to have. Pm me!)

Common Mutations ⇓

Enhanced Senses - Taste, Touch, Smell, Feel, or Hearing (up to 2)

Enhanced Speed - Move both quicker and swifter than a natural animal of its breed would.

Enhanced Strength - What it sounds like. Your animal companion may end up bulldozing through a wall the find couple times it realizes its ability.

Uncommon Mutations ⇓

Invisibility - The ability to shift to a point where the companion is no longer visible to anyone by their human companion.

Teleportation - The ability to move quickly between one place and another. If experienced enough the animal will be able to send their human companion somewhere else as well.

Intangibility - Companions or Outsiders with this ability are able to move through solid objects without damaging themselves.

Telekenisis - The mutation with the ability to move things with their mind. This can cause quite a bit of trouble, but couldn't the others as well?

Prized Mutations ⇓

Mind Control - Usually just a slight nudge in the direction the subject wants the other to go. Think of a very strong sense of persuasion.

Enhanced Healing - Being able to heal quickly takes a lot of energy from the subject but its worth it. Especially if they can transfer that ability into their bonded companion to heal them as well.

Precognition - The ability to see the future. Most with this mutation describe dreams which seem to predict a set future. But futures can change. Right?

Element Control - Whether that be water, fire, earth, or the ability to control the wind and air. It is a highly sought after ability and can be used for both good and bad.
