┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚂𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚍 𝚂𝚞𝚗 ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ Present Day Location: Southern Africa You stir in your den, the air around you crisp in the early morning before the sun has made its appearance. Your eyes blink awake and your pupils dilate, trying to adjust against the darkness of your underground den, the only place you really feel safe. In your eyes' failing attempt to adjust, you give a small huff and push your body up off the ground, tight muscles and tired bones creaking and popping. Clods of dirt and dead grass coat your matted fur from where you were resting, so you give a half-attempt at shaking it out before you decide to poke your head out of the den's entrance for a breath of fresh air. Walking out, you draw in a big yawn and try to rid yourself of the grogginess from a restless night, but that's nothing new. Thinking back on it you really haven't gotten a good nights rest in nearly 90 days, and just the thought sends shivers down your spine. Paw step after paw step, you've finally made it out of the den but don't stray far from its entrance in case danger sends you fleeing back in. As a pup you enjoyed watching the sun rise peak over the horizon, casting a beautiful mixture of oranges, pinks, and purples across the cloud-blotted sky. But that all changed mere months ago, because now you and your pack hide in the depths of your den for the sun has grown red and ill, infecting, some would say, anything the light touches. You and your pack have been fortunate enough to survive this long, blindly navigating through life itself. But then again, it's been an entire 3 months. Members of your pack grow restless in the confinement of the den and food rations won't last much longer. Only time will tell when limits are pushed and someone is forced out into the open air in attempt to not only provide for the rest of their pack, but survive. But those who touch sunlight become savages, and the shadows are always watching. Beginning No one really knows exactly how the sun grew ill. It started as a harmless sickness and it was figured to be from a prolonged amount of sun exposure with symptoms along the lines of heat exhaustion. But the animals never got better. Their eyes glazed over and they became blinded by the infection, they began to over salivate and lose liquids which lead to dehydration and wrinckled their skin. Soon enough they were called Savages, they plenty looked the part, that was no doubt. It's as if their entire nature had been altered, they began to turn on their own kind, killing even packs of lions in the masses. Those who were smart fled into hiding and dug an underground system in which they were to live. Many figured out quite fast to stay out of the sun, which meant they could only hunt during the nighttime hours. But even in the dark they weren't safe, for the infected animals still lurked in the shadows. Their impaired vision made things easier at night, so as long as you didn't make a noise or stayed downwind so your scent wouldn't reach the noses of the infected, you'd be safe, but you only have a short window of time before the sun rises again and forces you back into hiding. You've made it this far but start to wonder how much longer life can go on in these ways. This is no longer a simple fight for answers, but a full blown battle to survive. |

𝙸𝚕𝚕𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚂𝚢𝚖𝚙𝚝𝚘𝚖𝚜 Chronological Order Early On #1: Hot Flashes #2: Headache & Nausea #3: Over Salivating > Dry, wrinckled skin Progressive Stages #1: Muscle spasms #2: Small siezures #3: Lost, confused, memory loss Final Stages #1: Foaming from the mouth #2: Glazed eyes #3: Aggression # Added: Without proper nutrients the body begins to decompose. Procedure Once the animal reaches the end of the Progressive Stages (lost, confusion, memory loss) it is important that they are either contained or thrown out at dusk far from the den so they can't find their way back, for the pack's own safety. If you survive an attack from another infected animal there is a chance that you have been contaminated by the disease and must be quarantined away from the pack and the infected animals themselves for further examination. No one has survived an attack and not become infected... at least as far as they know. - Added Information - Early signs of the disease tend to look like heat exhaustion, so it's important that someone has a close eye on the suspect at all times. It doesn't happen instantly but still progresses rather quickly with the final stages taking place 10-12 hours in from the first beginning signs. It is important that once the infected suspect reaches the end of the progressive stages that everyone follows the procedure mentioned above. |

𝙿𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚁𝚘𝚕𝚎𝚜 / 𝚁𝚞𝚕𝚎𝚜 • Pack roles during this time are basically a joke, however, animals within a group rank from strongest to weakest and tend to take lead on that basis. Since we're still early on in the disease, ranks will be better defined as the roleplay progresses. •The lower ranking animals often challenge the upper ranking for a higher lead position. Desperation gets the best of them in hard times. Keep in mind, if a challenge is uncalled for and the lower ranking member of the pack fails, they are kicked out to scavenge for themselves as a result of their disrespect. • The strongest animal takes responsibility in the pack's day-to-day life. They organize the daily watch parties, hunting patrols, and no one comes in or out without them knowing. The lead animal of the pack may or may not choose to take a mate. • Two members of the pack will be set at each entrance/exit to the den as a watch party at ALL times, failure to do so will result in appropriate consequences. This is a mandatory rule. The pack must be prepared at all times in the case a raid occurs from scavengers or the infected. • Other than for consequential reasons, emergency, or order to do so, no member of the pack is permitted to leave the den during the day. In the event that this happens, a member who leaves and returns must immediately be put in quarantine for examination. Unless they become infected, punishment will be recieved for putting the pack in danger. - Subject to change or be added to - |

~Meaning "Of the Sun"~ ~Δ~ Age: 5 Gender: Male Species: Golden Jackal Role: Central Pack ~Δ~ Appearance: (C) ema reynares @Pexels Arki has light, golden brown, fur. It is short, and rough, though still soft in it's own way. It has dark browns and blacks furs mostly on his back, and some around his face. He has scarring on his back left leg, and some on his mussel. Another thing some note about him first is the gash like scar on his cheek. He tries to hide it though its still visible, and can make his face look more gnarled, and rough. He always has his thinking face on, like he's plotting out every move he makes, every word he says. His eyes are an amber color, with flecks of gold in them. He tries to hide his fear but his eyes always give him away, they always have a fearful look in them. His smile, which is hardly ever seen anymore, is always friendly and kind. It sometimes has a hint of weariness in it, though he tries to keep that out of it. It always had a hint of it in it, though now its much worse. He has a sort of coyote like look to him, besides his longer neck. His build is slender and lean, but still muscular. He has long legs and a shorter tail. His tail is slightly on the slimmer side, but still is bushy. His paws are smaller and rough and have well arched nails, good for clawing and grabbing at things. He stands about sixteen inches tall, and wighs twenty pounds. (C) Petr Ganaj @Pexels ~Δ~ Personality: Arki has always been on the quiet side, he enjoys the peace and quiet, and though some think it odd that he hardly socializes with others, he really doesn't mind. If someone comes up to him he will greet them kindly, but he hardly ever walks to others on his own. He enjoys the small things of life, though now there's not much to enjoy. He tries to keep everyone on the bright side of things with, including himself though it is easier to help others than him, encouragement or hope, anything that helps keep their spirits up. He doesn't ever talk about himself, and will always direct it to someone else. He hates burdening people with his own problems, and will always try to do things himself. He will do anything to protect the pack, and tries to be helpful and do anything they need. ~Δ~ Strengths & Weaknesses Strenghts Arki is built slimmer and small, and has long legs, which makes it easier for him to move quickly and fit in smaller spaces. He is a quick thinker and usually thinks through everything he does. He works faster under pressure. Weaknesses Arki it not a good fighter, he does better when he has a plan, not just a sudden fight. He is more unorganized when he is under pressure. He does not do well in loud or crowded spaces, leading him to be more overwhelmed. Arki is too self critical and will convince himself hes terrible if he messes something up. ~Δ~ Mate/Kin: No mate. Im open to Kin, PM me! Other: I don't have a favorite, all dogs are awsome.

- N A M E - Eos - A G E - 3 years, 7 months - G E N D E R - Male - Masculine - S P E C I E S - Sand Cat - R O L E - Central Pack - A P P E A R A N C E - Eos isn't anything special when it comes to the appearance of a sand cat. He stands at 10 inches tall, not including his big ears, and is 45 centimeters long. All things considered, he is quite fragile. If you step on him, you'll probably flatten him into a pancake, and the bite force of a predator would probably be more than enough to break a bone, assuming they actually manage to catch him. He has golden colored eyes that look slightly more light brown than anything, and his fur is mainly a golden-cream color. Brown markings cover his fur, mainly small brown stripes on his forehead, a stripe from the edge of his eyes, and tabby-like markings on his back and legs, running down his back towards the first half of his tail. Eos has a small bit of white on his fur, the most noticeable being the white around his eyes and a small white spot on his chest. His ears help him to ventilate heat, and are black at the tips. Eos, contrary to looks, has a mean bite and sharp claws. He does keep them manageable on scratching surfaces, and will only really bite to defend himself. Being small, it allows Eos to be quite agile, accentuated by his small and lithe frame that allows him to slip into small spaces and nooks. His paws, however, are somewhat big for a sand cat. - P E R S O N A L I T Y - Eos is a resourceful cat, for there are so many limited resources for you to have when there's a sun plague happening. When he gets an item or food, he's sure to make the most of it so nothing goes to waste. He hates watching things go to waste, especially during these times. That said, he is also a cautious and logical individual in nature. Each step is calculated, with the thought of where that step or encounter will lead and how it might affect future actions. Strangers should be avoided, and infected doubly so at all costs. Even the starting signs of the illness will grant you the utmost avoidance from Eos, and hunting day or night causes him to be rather on edge. He leads with his head rather than his heart, and is willing to make a sacrifice if it's needed for the better of this strange pack. Eos is optimist and honest. He will try to inspire caution in his friends and comrades and keep things realistic, but doesn't mind looking towards the more positive side of things. In short, his attitude is kind of like "Things might be looking grim, but hey we've survived this far!" He will never intentionally hide the truth from someone when they ask for it, and finds lying rather hard for him. It's very obvious when he lies, contributing to his undying honesty. Being alone makes him rather uncomfortable, and often Eos can be seen hanging out with someone or sitting nearby to a pack member. He is scared of the spreading illness and fears getting sick himself, but is very determined to try and make it through, no matter what happens. - S T R E N G T H S - Agile - Eos is very quick and hard to catch, making maneuvering around and between others legs easier for him than other creatures Resourceful - He makes the most of a situation and with the items and food he has, making sure nothing goes to waste Cautious - Eos is a cautious individual, never running headfirst into a situation and able to listen to reason. He will take others opinions into account before acting, but this does make him a little paranoid - W E A K N E S S E S - Light in weight - His small stature means he is very light and fragile. Hurting him physically is rather easy, making it so he has to be very careful not to get caught or hurt when going outside the safety of the tunnel system Small - Eos is easy to miss, making it a good and bad thing. Often he is overlooked, and again is susceptible to getting hurt more than others Reserved - He doesn't always speak his mind, overthinking things at times. Often Eos bites his tongue, even when he has some input to make and it causes him to hold back a lot and keep to himself - M A T E / K I N - Not looking for a mate Open to kin, PM me! - O T H E R - Golden Retrievers are cute :> |
