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~
