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~

Forgive me if I'm just misreading, but for the King strand, your GG (Defense/Defense) says that it is the most adept at Morale than the other hybrids, but then you have a GN (Defense/Morale) hybrid. I don't understand how the defense would be better at morale than the hybrid that specializes in morale.

It said its the 'most adept at moral out of the three sub classifications.' I think that means that a GN is better at moral than a TN.

A few have incorporated that into cryokinesis/potential energy increase and such so if it has a somewhat solid-sounding explanation for it and has a relation to either the A or K abilities, it should be fine~

umumm i'm just a little bit confused about alpha strains! does that mean that any knights, queens or kings can acquire any other traits they don't have now in the future (such as offense x agility)? if so do they switch back and forth between their original combination and the new one or the original and new traits will always be active (ie: offense x luck x agility)?
i'd also like to know what you meant by "able to master all traits" for kings! do they get stronger in any traits they acquire as compared to knights and queens? *v*

>>Yup!

>> They are usually always active, though their original cross will be the most powerful no matter how much they "level up".
i'd also like to know what you meant by "able to master all traits" for kings! do they get stronger in any traits they acquire as compared to knights and queens?
>> Yes, basically the king is the only one who can accomplish "100%" in all 3 traits. Knights and Queens can only go up to maybe 80% of power in the abilities they don't start off with, if speaking in percentages - IC you can think of them as having less control over those third abilities that they acquire after a while.

For the combinations of kings, are those all the combinations we can put together, or can we change a trait?

For now these are the only starting combinations, sub-strains of the virus so to speak.
As characters become more familiar with themselves and their abilities, they will be able to "bleed" across the spectrum of abilities to obtain others.
Unlike the Knight or Queen classes, Kings are capable of eventually completely mastering all 3 abilities of an Alpha, whereas the other two will only have up to intermediate/advanced levels of control over their third ability.

I feel silly for asking this. But how do you decide on what you Alpha has for a power? o n o Like if you're a King GxN, how would you decide on the best possible power or ability for them?

monokroe In reply to Lady-Frig [2012-09-11 05:10:17 +0000 UTC]
I don't know if I understand the question but here's an answer for some question out there lksajdf //incompetent admin
Well if it's GxN Defense x Morale, Morale is generally something that involves team members and the boosting of their traits(you cna also use it on yourself) and Defense is, well, defense, so you could have a combination that is useful for both traits - an ability to shape one's body into a wide shield to protect his/her teammates? There's also the possibility of playing off of others' abilities too ( like if you have a psychic in your team you could boost their psychokinetic abilities and have them use your character as a living cannon ball, since your defense is high and you won't get hurt that much LOL IDK), there's just a lot of fuzzy logic and creative thinking involved. I can't say what a "best possible power" would be as different situations call for different things and yadda yadda...//ramble
"Defense" and "Morale" are really loose terms in this context - I mean if "defense" is considered not taking damage, then regenerative abilities would also be a form of defense? Things like that. Morale is the boosting of a trait i.e magnification, so anything that magnifies or takes an ability to a higher level would be grouped as "morale".

seiryuuden [2012-09-10 11:28:35 +0000 UTC]
Oh and also does Alpha strain can get some rebounds by using their abilities like Beta strain does?
like for example I'm a King GxN, when I transformed into a non-human state so will I get both physical stress/pain plus the risk of aging for using the morale ability? o 3 o
LOLOL sorry for asking so many questions! this group is really tempting hngghhhhh////
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
monokroe In reply to seiryuuden [2012-09-10 12:36:38 +0000 UTC]
Their rebounds are not that great, almost zero, but the transformation itself sort of acts as a rebound, both when they go into non-human mode and when they change back to a human. There is a possibility of what you mentioned (aging with morale overuse) but it would be only if they used it for a very long time.
(If you need an in-story theory, it would be because the non-human forms were sort of "made" to use these abilites whereas the human body was not.)
I hope this helps! ovo/ <3
