Closed Poisoned: The Crisis

Eclipse

Eclipse

High-functioning sociopath
The world has been destroyed by humans. In every area, there is trash lurking, every inch of lakes and sea covered in oil and nuclear waste. The atmosphere full toxic gases and clouds made of poison. of The earth has truly been wasted, and unlivable.
The humans have moved to the Moon, but there are only several thousand living. As a last resort, the humans have created a different species, a mix of an animal, an element, and a human. They are called Rithae[ree-thay]. They sent the Rithae to the Earth, for they were immune to the horrible smell and poisons. They were sent to find pure land, or of any lifeforms.
However, unknown to the Rithae and humans, there is a species of mutated animals, whose breath was so poisonous, it could kill, with talons and teeth sharp enough to cut the very air, they are called the Crykai[cree-kai]. The Rithae are in danger everywhere, for the Crykai have adapted to all the environments in the world.
Do you fight to find life, or do you fight against it?

Code: 
[b]Name:[ /b]
[b]Gender:[/b] (Male or female, and also can be left ambiguous.)
[b]Age:[ /b] (Both Rithae and Crykai live very long, and mature around in 50 years. Normal teenagers are around 80 years old, etc.)
[b]Species:[ /b] (Rithae or Crykai, no one is allowed to be a pure animal.)
[b]Element/Nature:[ /b] (Element are for the Rithae, you know, fire, water, you got the jig, and Nature is for Crykai, generally how you adapted to the world, like wastelands, sea, sky, etc. Keep in mind you've adapted to a poisoned world.)
[b]Appearance:[ /b] (You get it. Rithae are either anthros or furries, and Crykai are actually animals. Go with the general two-legged or four-legged.)
[b]Bio:[ /b] (General history of your character. Rithae are usually held in test tubes until they reach maturity, and Crykai have to be born mutated. They adapted long before. However, mutation during their lifetime is acceptable.)
[b]Abilities:[ /b] (Blah, you get it. You should know by now your character should have strength and weaknesses.)

His hands are clawed, with three fingers and a thumb. Aa-ora's feet are two-toed, with claws also. He has a long, thick tail that can grab things.
Bio: Aa-ora was designed to be the perfect creature. However, nothing is perfect, so even he has flaws. After he was taken out of the test tube, he grew wings due to exposure to the air. He is sent to Earth to find out how well he will do.

Name: Brasil
Gender: Female
Age: 120
Species: Crykai
Element/Nature: Sky
Appearance: Her body resembling a snake's, Brasil is covered with dull grey and black scales, and hard, spiky growths dot her spine. Four wings extend from her body: two upper wings that grow from her back, and two that extend from her sides. The wings are tough hide, to prevent vrippling accidents. She has four legs, rather like a lizard's, but they are weak and underdeveloped, though they do have claws. She has a snake's fangs as well, complete with paralyzing poison.
Bio: Brasil was a born hunter; soon after she was born, her first pair of wings grew out from her back. Otherwise, she would have died, seeing as she could hardly walk on her legs. The second pair grew as she matured, and she became reliant on the toxic air that had sparked the growth of wings, rarely venturing out of the sky.
Abilities: Very agile and swift, has a poisonous bite that paralyzes completely and can kill if neck is targeted. She's creative, and quick to use everything she can to kill her prey. She has low endurance though, and if her wings are targeted, she'll flee. Brasil is practically helpless if forced to the ground.

Name: Salidji
Gender: Female
Age: 98
Species: Crykai
Element/Nature: Wasteland
Appearance: Salidji's posture is much like a gorilla's. She stands hunched over and walks on her knuckle. A velvet-like brownish colored fur covers her lower body and the around around her chest, breast, and upper back. The rest of her body is covered in a calloused pale skin. Her head is very canine-esque, including her ears and nose. She has a sack on her neck, which contains the poison her species is known for. It is usually bloated, until the poison is releases, usually by a bite. She has no tail or bony plates.
Bio: When Saldiji was born her parents has abandoned her, she was a small baby, they considered her weak. Though as she grew she learned how to fend for herself. Learning many survival techniques, she quickly adapted to hunting and gather which she enjoyed greatly. But being abandoned to a heavy toll on her; she lost the ability to trust others almost completely.
Abilities: When she needs to run Saldiji can lift herself up on two legs and spring. At a very fast speed even. Her nearly everlasting stamina is a great asset of her's. Though in hand to hand combat she hinders. She isn't really a fighter, Saldiji uses more of a "hit and run" technique when getting in fights. So if she is blocked off or can't escape she could be in trouble. Also, her form of poison has a numbing factor. It doesn't kill.
 
Name: Spite
Gender: Female
Age: 89
Species: Rithae
Element/Nature: Earth
Appearance: Spite has the head of a cat, and bat-like wings with claws on the end. Her tail is a scorpion, and other than her wings, she has two legs tipped with sharp claws.
Bio: Spite was at first dark purple, hence her name, which suggests darkness and evil. However, she grew lighter as she got older, but her name still stuck. She's still changing color slowly. Also, when she was 44, she learned to climb, and slowly got better. But she still has a lot to learn.
Abilities: She's especially good at climbing. Spite can also fly short distances. However, she doesn't like to be exposed to too much light at once, and will grow weaker when she is.
 
Name: Tamia
Gender: Male
Age: 94
Species: Crykai
Nature: Lake
Appearance: Tamia is a komodo dragon-like crykai with round, beady eyes covered in a glassy film that somewhat filter the thick oils in the water or the dust on land. His thick, hard scales are a dull grassy green with brown blotches around his body. He also has small triangular ears that are sensitive to noise. Unlike a komodo dragon, Tamia also has webbed feet and a snout like an alligator's with a small horn on the end..
Bio: Tamia was born with the mutations in his eyes and ears, which he got from his mother. His parents raised him until he could hunt for himself, then they left eachother like most animals do at some point. He stayed in the water much more than he should have and gained mutations fit for an aquatic creature. As a result, Tamia depends on eating the fish and water crykai rather than anything on land that isn't dying or dead.
Abilities: Extreme agility in the water and sensitivity to movement to make up for his lack of gills or speed on land.
 
Name: Vendetta
Gender: Male
Age: 498
Species: Crykai
Element/Nature: Has adapted to a life in the harsh acidic air of the former Sahara Desert.
Appearance: Vendetta was one of the first animals to mutate into a Crykai. Before his mutation he was what humans called a komodo dragon. Now he stands normally at 6 ft, 15 on hind legs and 28 from nose to tip of tail. His grey/green skin is totally black and his eyes are blood-red. He has a massive underbite and two rows of razor sharp teeth on each jaw. Three horns emerge from either side of his head, curled back over his tiny ears. He has twelve spikes on his tail in a flail-like formation. Each of his legs ends in a taloned foot.
Bio: Vendetta was a komodo dragon in a zoo in Egypt before the world was destroyed. The poisonous air caused him to mutate into his giant form and he escaped the zoo and travelled to the Sahara Desert. He is what could essentially be called the King of the Desert, as no other Crykai challenge his claim on kills or even generally fight back if attacked by him. Some even bring him offerings of food. To this end, he has had some of the monkey-like Crykai construct him a makeshift palace, where Crykai can bring him offerings. Using his vast intelligence, he has been studying his subjects trying to discover a patterin in the mutations. He has discovered one, that every 500 years of a Crykai's life, they mutate, and realises that soon he will mutate once again.
Abilities: For a Crykai, Vendetta is exceptionally intelligent and capable of human speech. His massive size gives him, of course, amazing strength but he is also surprisingly fast, weaving with his tail in order to generate power. His breath is laced with arsenic.
 
Name: Jupiter
Gender: female
Age: 82
Species: Rithae
Element/Nature: Electric
Appearance: She has small, blue-green wings that are too small to fly with for longer than a few minutes, and it takes a huge amount of energy. She has light brown fur and black eyes. The fur on her head is longer like hair She has a tail like a kangaroo rat's and unusually long arms. She stands up on her feet, but runs and usually walks on hands and feet, and is able to run extremely quickly that way.
Bio: Originally she was going to have almost dragon-like wings as well as being able to run at high speeds. After being taken out of the test tube her wings stopped growing or developing, staying small and useless. She was sent to Earth because she can run long distances to look for life.
Abilities: She is an extremely fast runner, and has great endurance. If attacked, she'll do anything to avoid fighting, running away at the first chance. She can shock other people to stun them for a few minute and escape. If she can't run away when attacked, she's in huge trouble.

Everyone accepted. I'm closing registration tomorow, so last chance!

Name: Ta' Lon
Gender: Male
Age: 100 years old
Species: Crykai
Nature: Wastelands
Appearance: Ta' Lon was born as a mutated oversized squirell. But after so much exposure to the toxic waste, Ta' Lon has mutated into more of a canine-like creature, and a bushy tale that could spray toxic much like a skunk with it's stenchmspreading tail.
Bio:[ /b] Ta' Lon was born to a mutant fox father and a mutant squirell mother. His family was nomadic, until they decided to just officially move into the Wastelands. Because of his constant moves, he knows well of the poisoned Earth's geography. Finally, his father had turned mad after drinking a pond filled with a poison he was not adapted to, and killed off Ta' Lon's mother and almost killed him. But Ta' Lon had sprayed his melting type poison to his father without knowing, and his father had disolved. Finding his new found powers promising, he is now traveling all around the land.
Abilities: There are three types of poisons Ta' Lon spreads, the melting toxic kind, the poisoning one, and a liquid that could temporarily blind if shot to the eyes. However, Ta' Lon doesn't walk, he has to jump for his hindlegs are much bigger then his very small front legs. For this, he tires quickly when moving.

For the Rithae, all of the Rithae have been rocketed off to random locations of the Earth, so you all start off alone. Your objective right now is to come together.
Crykai are all individuals, unless you decide to partner up. Crykai can kill one another, for food is scarce in Earth.

---
Ta' Lon had been climbing up of what was left of the Himalayas. The more further he went closer to the summit, the more toxic clouds surrounded him. It was tiring, but he knew there was water on the top, and he was incredibly thirsty.

With steady and sure steps and jumps, he was slowly going more closer to the top.

But suddenly, a large gust had shaken him and he fell tumbling down. Trying to grasp his balance again, he was hundreds of feet away from where he was last time.

"Damn it!" He growled and cursed, clawing his way to the top again.
 
Jupiter looked around silently, carefully taking in her surroundings. This had once been the Amazon Rainforest, long ago. She bit her lip and dropped down to all fours and ran forward. She was careful not to go too fast, to save energy and so that she could see. There was nothing, absolutely nothing. It was a barren stretch of sand and rocks. Just being there made Jupiter feel depressed. Shaking her head, the Rithae focused on her task, to find some sign of life. Was there something here? How could anything possibly survive here?
 
((Whooooa, hold on there, I don't want to miss out on this. Still, I kinda want to go to bed right now and I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the deadline tomorrow, so reserve a space for me, please.))
 
Shadowstar suveed her surroundings. "Let's see... Boring, flat, devoid of life, warm. Must have been a desert or something, either that or Antartica, you know what global warming can do. Better move on." she turned into a shadow and headed North East.

(We travel alone, right? Then we meet up later?)
 
Tamia looked to the surface of the water above and could see through the murky water almost perfectly. He smirked, seeing a creature weakly wriggling, and reached the surface with ridiculous speed. The little creature looked like a catfish crykai that had a large gash down its underside as if it had cut itself on an old sharp can or a fishing hook.

Tamia opened his jaws and devoured his first meal in a few days. It would probably be his only one for a while, but at least it was filling.
 
Brasil had no problem finding water, and was currently drinking from the same pool on top of the mountain, wings beating quickly as she dipped her head into the pool. She was rushing, but whoever was scrambling up the slope was coming too close, and she didn't want to be caught so near the ground. Water dripping down her scales, she finished and flapped her four wings strongly to rise to a safe height, looking down at the pool of water with interest. It wouldn't hurt to see who was so desperate to get to the water, and maybe she could do some hunting...
 
Spite clung on to her cliff desperately, in attempt not to fall. Recovering courage, she went gliding down and landed softly at the base of the wall. There was nothing to eat, but that was no problem; she wasn't really hungry anyway. The cat-like, bat-like creature began to jump from hill to hill, looking for signs of life.
 
Aa-ora stepped along the bare land. "Still no signs of life.... then again what do you expect? Lush trees?" He slashed at the air with a clawed hand and continued walking. Searching for life. He was almost sure that this mission would fail.
 
Salidji walked across the barren lands of the now wasted Earth. "No food," she grumbled. The mutated creature had been looking for a meal since she awoken. Her stomach growled in agreement with her words. She sniffed the air desperately and continued on, mumbling and groaning to herself.
 
Jupiter stopped and looked around, hoping to find water somewhere. She doubted that, though. It was a desert here! She wasn't really thirsty, but if she waited too long, there'd be no time to find any and she's be dead. There was nothing to do but go forward. She ran, faster this time.
 
Kay, finished.

Name: Luvol
Gender: Male
Age: 378
Species: Rithae
Element: Light

Appearance: It is almost a given that Luvol will be clean and well-kept no matter where he is. The red-orange fur covering his body is always free of any kind of dirt or grime, and the similarly colored hair atop his vulpine head is slicked back with long fuzzy ears sticking up and out. To remian presentable, he continues to wear the same gentlemanly black suit, complete with a tie, specially made shoes, and even a hole in the back for his tail. Throughout his travels, he always carries around a rather oversized briefcase, probably holding spare clothes and whatever grooming supplies he uses on a daily basis.

Bio: When Luvol was first created, he exhibited none of the power required to journey to earth like other Rithae, and was deemed a failure. Instead of being scrapped, however, he was adopted by a wealthy family, and treated like a son. The family took care of him, even though he far outlasted his original "parents", living through several generations before he was even an adult. After nearly two centuries, a particularly nasty boy took head of the household, and he didn't take too kindly upon the ancestral responsibility. He turned Luvol into little more than a slave, subjecting him to cruel tasks and labor. Although maybe this push was what he needed; the pain and torment built up so much that they awakened the his long dormant abilities, and Luvol incinerated his master and the family manor. At this point he was taken back by the government, who then sent him down to earth to accomplish what he was made for.

Abilities: Luvol can manifest a pair of wings made from multicolored light at will, which allow him to not so much fly as freely levitate. He is also able to release pulses of energy from his hands, or create small, stationary spheres to provide illumination. Luvol also has higher strength and athletic abilities than normal people; not necessarily super-human, but still enough to make him quite formidable in combat.
