Description
Basically, all alpha strain contractants have at least one of the A, T, or G traits in the initial stages of being infected.The Alpha strain causes direct physical mutation that can be very painful for the infected person. Their physiological makeup becomes something entirely non-human through their transformation, including organ systems and sensory abilities. Initial transformation is random, though for an unknown reason reports have been pointing towards more nocturnal tendencies. With intuitively-learned skill sets, individuals afflicted by the Alpha strain are able to switch between their human and non-human forms at will, though each transformation causes stress on the body beyond imagination; over-transitioning between the two can lead to exhaustion and sometimes even death. Staying in the non-human form for too long however can cause the inability to return to a human form. All exhibit above-human agility and physical strength in their Alpha form, along with a couple of other boosted traits which varies from individual to individual - furthermore, a unique mark appears somewhere on their body that stays in both forms. The Alpha strain was originally an over-mutation of the Beta strain and can be contracted from both the source as well as Beta strains, though it is no longer contagious at this stage - alpha strains can often "sense" other alpha strains when in their non-human form. Furthermore, in their human form, Alpha strains have very limited use of their abilities, with only higher reflexes and strength remaining.
These are only examples and guidelines - as long as it follows the basics, you're fee to do whatever you like ( Example: A Queen class character shouldn't be too bulky, or a Knight class any taller than 13 ft, etc. )
[A]Possible combinations for Knights:
A x A (Offense x Offense)
A x C (Offense x Psychic)
A x K (Offense x Luck)
[T]Possible combinations for Queens:
T x T (Agility x Agility)
T x C (Agility x Psychic)
T x N (Agility x Morale)
[G]Possible combinations for Kings:
G x G (Defense x Defense)
G x K (Defense x Luck)
G x N (Defense x Morale)
Further development of traits can lead to being able to use other class traits - the King is the only class able to master all traits.
>>Does each class have a specific color/hue they need to be?
No, I just color coded these so it's easier to see which class can have what traits.
>>Do they absolutely have to have all of the mentioned characteristics?
Nope. As long as it has at least 1 and doesn't overlap too much with the Pure form (AxA, TxT, GxG) of another class, you're fine. (Of course hybrids will overlap, that's fine, they share the same traits afterall).
Feel free to ask if you've any questions~

a question! \ *0* /
does the character when in non-human state can gain their consciousness or the virus is taking control of their body so they will just do whatever they want (like randomly destroying things and stuffs) or does our character still be able to think with their clean mind to do anything? o ~ o

That would be up to you. *v* The possibility of that would be higher when they are still new to the form, I think.

It's basically SUPER CHARGED!!! And not at a sort of in between amplification but something like 4 or 5x better than a hybrid.
It cuts down attack/variety by quite a lot but what their ability entails, man, are they good at it.
I guess it's a bit of a trade off, but so are all of these listed here. Both have pros and cons, it's how a character will use them that will make a difference.

um so i have a question
can alphas only use their abilities when they're transformed or can they also use them when they're in their human form?
sorry if that's already written somewhere, because it could be that i've just missed it QvQ

monokroe In reply to crumble-chan [2012-09-08 14:45:40 +0000 UTC]
Oh! That's a very good point, I need to add that in somewhere.
One disadvantage of the alpha is that only their higher than average reflexes and strength remain in their human state, and their abilities become very limited. For example, if a psychic type can communicate through telekinesis for 100km in their virus form, they may only be able to do that for 1km in their human form.
This doesn't occur in Betas, they have "full power" all the time. x)

oh, okay i get it : D
so if i for example want my character to be an alpha agility x psychic type, that would mean that in human form they would still be able to use both abilities though limited, right?
sorry, just making sure i understood correctly >A<

I'm a little confused about some classes and their combinations, like a King can only be those combinations or it's possible, for example, that they can be Defense x Psychic?
Also are those the 'basic' structures right? So we have to shape their alpha form them like that?
Sorry for the silly questions, i-it's because I'm interested ok *sobs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
monokroe In reply to Lieutenant-Down [2012-09-08 02:58:16 +0000 UTC]
Not at all! *v*
Ahhh well these are all starting classes, so in the beginning only these combinations present here will be possible.
So no, King cannot be psychic right now, but as the character levels up it will become possible to gain such traits.
Furthermore, King is the only one who can completely master all three; Queen and Knight can only gain up to intermediate or advanced mastery of the trait that is not listed here (for example if you look at Knights, Morale is not listed - that would be the trait they would be not so good at ).
As for the second question about their shape, here's a tl;dr version of what their structure should look like:
Knight: average build, narrow waist
Queen: Slender build all around with a few key shapes
King: Sturdy figure
As long as they follow those things then they can be any kind of design or shape you like, though they have to be somewhat humanoid in shape (so no dog-shape or cat-shape ; the idea here is a combination of a human and virus).
I hope that makes sense lksjdf

Hello! Uhhm...can you have be a beta and still have an alpha class or are they completely separate? It's kinda of a silly question but I'm just a lil' confused.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
monokroe In reply to EvilPandaGrl [2012-09-08 00:27:20 +0000 UTC]
I don't think I quite understand the question. XD
Alpha and Beta are two separate classes.
Alpha is physical mutation with two "Abilities", but with vague power control.
Beta is no physical mutation, and one "ability", with precise power control.
They are basically two different creatures like a uh...giraffe and a hippo skdjf
So you can't have giraffe hippo crosses...if that's what you mean.

EvilPandaGrl In reply to monokroe [2012-09-08 00:42:54 +0000 UTC]
Well, that answers one of my questions!
But I kinda mean like, can a beta be a queen class? Oh can only only alphas be a knight/queen/king and betas are just normal(ish) people?
Does that make more sense? oAo;;

Betas don't transform so these classes have nothing to do with them. XD
