☠ Mutation ☠ [OOC][OPEN][HORROR MILITARY THRILLER]

[Gudmund]

Created by Gudmund

Canetis Cervus is a subspecies of humanoid deer adapted to hunting noise sensitive animals (i.e. bats, owls, mice, dogs). Due to its mutated biology the creature can produce prolonged screeches over 190dB, or bursts of sounds ranging between 200-250dB. Despite this their unique way of using sonic attacks limits the sound to around 50km. Commonly referred to as the Wendigo, Canetis are primarily nocturnal and rest during the day, having developed great camouflage in dark forest environments. They are rare to come across, usually hiding from large groups.

On average they have an upright height of 185cm and a weight of 96kg, however, they normally move on all fours at capable of reaching speeds between 20-35kmh. The ribcage and skull of the Canetis visibly protrude from the body, which provides ample room for their large lungs and vocal cords, while forcing noise to be projected into a cone that greatly reduces the amount of sound heading in all directions. The ears of a Canetis can be temporarily deactivated to prevent self-inflicted damage from their own sonic attack. The back legs remain that of a deer, whereas the front limbs looks similar to humanoid arms. Not only do they have pack mentality, they appeared to equal to or above the intelligence of a capuchin monkey.

Field reports dictate that Canetis are difficult to track, the calls seemingly coming from all directions, and their footprints being very erratic. While the official diet is unknown, they are believed to have evolved into omnivores due to the lack of readily available fauna; a fact reinforced by the carcusses and missing animals within their territory. Canetis hunting involves deafening the prey by bursting its eardrums, hit and run tactics, or overpowering the target and mauling them to death. A direct sonic blast from 20 metres has been compared to being kicked in the stomach. Should you find yourself being hunted by a pack of Canetis, it is advised to hide, stay away from water, and to use ear plugs of a high NRR rating.

Species app



Panthera Artificium is a species of panther assumed to
he descended from panthers kept in the Moscow zoo. It has evolved the ability to perfectly mimic any sound it hears, which it uses to draw prey into ambushes. Most specimes were found to hunt alone, though small packs of between 2-5 specimens have been seen to band together when food is plentiful.

Pantera Artificium have been observed to be larger than their none mutated cousins. They stand at an average of 3 feet at the shoulder, compared to the unmutated average of 2 feet, and average a length of 7 feet, compared to the average of 5'5. The evolutionary reasons for this growth are unknown, though it is hypothesized to be able to overpower larger prey. Their coloration is usually a solid black, though one albino specimen has been recorded.

If a specimen is encountered, it is recommended operators stay close to each other with constant radio check ins. No voice not coming over a radio is to be trusted. The panthers have all the speed and stealth expected of a big cat, though they don't appear to have evolved any specially durable skin or bones. As such, conventional weaponry is most likely sufficient to use against them.

Macroderma sp. mutus- a large species of bat believed to be a mutation of Macroderma gigas. The mouth has been enlarged, the legs transformed into strengthened wing extensions, and the eyes reduced in size. This species ranges in color from light purple, to dark brown, to pale white. Wingspan ranges from 3 feet for males to almost 6 for females. M. mutus has adapted to feed on not only insects, but also rodents, amphibians, and even other bats. The species can also feed on the blood and flesh of larger animals. The saliva of this particular species has an anticoagulant compound previously only seen in vampire bats, such as Desmodus rotundus. Further study is needed to determine what, if any, threat they pose to humans entering the zone.

Metacordyceps rodentia- a parasitic species of fungus mainly affecting rodents, this particular species is among the most benign in its genus. M. rodentia has a similar life cycle to other species. A host comes into contact with the spores, which then enter the bloodstream and begin to take over the nervous system, altering the behavior of the host until the fungal body bursts forth to release more spores. However, M. rodentia works more like M, parasectus in that the fungus does not kill the host, but rather takes over the body and mind, transforming the victim into a living fungal garden and slaves to the fungus. This particular species is only known to affect rodents and is rather attractive in appearance, being a pale purple or pale white. This delicate fungus feeds on grasses and other plants, forcing its host on a never ending quest for the green stuff. The fungus does possess the mind of its host and will fight back if captured. It also releases toxic compounds if disturbed, causing temporary blindness, numbness, and paralysis if inhaled.

Necrophilia sp. mutus-mutated from carrion beetles, M. mutus is a large, armored scavenger. The species retains its origins as an eater of corpses, laying eggs and raising its young in rotting carcasses, deriving all of its nutrition from the dead, the dying, and the fungus that decomposes carcasses. The species has a golden carapace with two black dots on the top. The underside is black with red eyespots and golden legs. Specimens have been found up two three feet in length. They spend most of their time buried in the ground or under rubble, coming out when they smell blood or the stench of rot. The species prefers its food cold, but will not be above feasting on a freshly killed or still dying victim if hungry. They are not considered to be any threat to healthy individuals, but may scratch and bite if disturbed or grabbed.

Operator Profile

Full Name: Yoo Junghwa (유정화)


Nationality: South Korean (formerly), Amenrian


Age: 27


Gender: Female


Combat Role: Sniper (ranged DPS)


Callsign: Slayer


b]Height and Weight[/b]: 170 cm; 46 kg


Psyche Eval Results: Prior to losing her fiancé, Junghwa was a caring, cheerful and calm person. She retained her calmness after his death, though it soon turned into cold professionalism.

Like most Amenrians, she is somewhat more devout than the average person and is often seen wearing a crucifix, though this could simply be a tactical maneuver to help her fight demons and other unholy beings.

Junghwa has always been somewhat of a loner, even before her fiancé's death.

Background Information: Junghwa served under the South Korean military in WWIII, fighting in Europe. There, she helped the Pan-Asian Alliance in capturing Paris, while her fiancé, a fellow Korean soldier, was sent to fight elsewhere. Unfortunately, he was killed in action by US forces.

Consumed by grief, she changed her callsign to Slayer and volunteered for a military experiment, which granted her enhanced physical capabilities.

At some point after the war, she joined Amenria's all-female super team known as Nine Tails. Being a Catholic, she takes missions from both The Vatican and HALO. She also assists superheroes in other universes.

I like how the app looks good.

On the other hand, I think the app doesn't exactly fit in with what Mutation is as a rp. There are no superheroes in the Mutationverse nor are there any spiritual demons. Unit Zero is a task force composed of elite humans that utilize mostly baseline human capabilities, Anowan's supersoldiers being a slight exception though they dont fit the criteria for superheroes though they do fit the PMT nature of Mutation.

I recommend remaking the app. I have no problem with her being a devout Christian nor do I have a problem with enhanced physical abilities (to a reasonable extent of course) but I do have a problem with the character not fitting in with the grimdark, military thriller nature of Mutation if you know what I mean. And you should take out the part about other universes unless she ICly travels between universes which is a no no.

If you have any queries, feel free to head over to the rp advice channel and I'll answer them for ya. I'd love to see your character become a staple of Unit Zero!

How do explain the absurd number of nations and clones here otherwise? Or how much of a nightmare this world is and how peaceful and beautiful mine is, excluding southern US territories?

If you don't want interuniversal travel mentioned or even appearing, fine. I'm just sharing what she has from Amenrian canon. A simple OOC leak, if you will. That being said, I can't change her without completely building up a whole new character with the same name and abilities but with a different origin story and explanation behind her stuff, which opens an all new can of worms for continuity reasons. It's kinda like why DC prefers to put Batman in various interuniversal adventures than making one Batman for every universe and going reaaally deep with them (I know each universe has a Batman, but they're not that developed, except maybe Flashpoint Batman or Batman Who Laughs). Conversation with her will only stay within more normal boundaries in this rp.

[Vanquaria]

? The only nightmare in this world is the Zone itself.

And absurb number of nations? If u count them all its a nice number of involved nations. And what clones?

I dont care about what you've made for this character if it dosent fit in Mutation Im not accepting your character. And she dosent fit in Mutation.

NS has God knows how many nations and by clones I mean alternate versions of the same nations. Try counting how many Americas, Soviet Unions, Germanys and Philippineses in this site.

Okay? Point out the clone countries participating Mutation rather than all of NS?

Hey Vanquaria! I gotta take a vacation for at least 3 days starting Sunday. I won't be around to play Mutation so I hope you'll excuse me ^_^

[Vanquaria]

When u join an open rp in II, any open rp with an established canon, you fit yourself into that canon to play the rp. Just a friendly message to all the lurkers on this thread

[Vacif]

I think by clone they mean like, alternate versions/local realities. Like how URA is a China clone, or I'm a (all of) south-east Asia clone. Or how DEN was like a Soviet clone.

I think we just need to cut out the other stuff like what the expanded world looks like. Keep things vague, so we don't jump down the rabbit hole. I don't know if I'm making sense or not.

Wow this makes a lot of sense yeah. Lets implement this.

Dictyostelia Necrophilia is a amoebic plasmodium with a rather unique mutation. Due to their nature of being able to bond and form a unicellular organism, they've adapted to digest and process living tissue due to the lack of viable food sources after almost 70 years. As such, contact with the protista is incredibly dangerous.

Less than 5 seconds of contact with unprotected tissue will result in the beginnings of infection. At which point amputation or sterilization of the site beyond rational measures. If the proper measures are not taken, the cells of the organism will slowly be replaced by the mold cells, retaining only protein structures. Skeletal muscle cells, nerve cells and skeletal cells are the only cells which remain unaffected. Essentially leaving a shambling transmission vector with a skin thick layer of transparent slime mold as a dermis.

While unsure exactly how, it appears as if the plasmodium hijacks motor controls and leaves a blind zombie to wander

Nightmare Cestoda - Tantibus Cestoda - Mutated from ordinary tapeworms, a member of this species can be described as large, flat and segmented worms that require a host to reproduce and infect other hosts. These worms are generally larger than their ordinary cousins and now possess the ability to directly infect hosts without the need to rely on having their eggs transfer to other hosts by their feces. They also do not seem as weak as their ordinary cousins as they have been observed to be able to live freely without hosts. They seem to seek out dark, warm areas, generally near some water, and swarm there to rest.

When inside the host, these creatures tape themselves to the digestive tract of the host and begin absorbing nutrients from the host's body and from the food that the host has taken.

Water too is absorbed by the parasites inside the host's body.

While inside, the parasites, once they have grown long enough, then cause the host to release more feces than usual, allowing some to exit their hosts and to repeat the cycle by moving to food and water sources to release their eggs. Sometimes, eggs remain in the faces of the host and lie in wait for other hosts.

These parasites, in their stage as larvae, may leave the intestines and move to other parts of the body such as muscles, brain or eyes. These creatures are also known for sometimes causing nightmares in the host should the larvae move close to the brain.
Their manner of infecting a host is by placing eggs into the food and water sources of the hosts. They do this with their segments called proglottids which grow and produce eggs.

NAISU! WORLDBUILDING FOR THE WIN!

[Vanquaria]

Coming back from his tangent, Min brought focus back onto the screen. "Down there, I've detected additional heat signatures down the tunnel. Humanoid size, hard to tell just what they are. They don't seem to notice the drone yet, and are just... standing there, dormant.

Oh damn...what have I done? Why did I create a horror rp out of all things?

[Vanquaria]

Weapons free

Your characters will be facing victims of the fungal infection, metacordyceps epsilon. Have fun! lmao

Woah, now.

I am not a China clone.

Chelydra serpentina imperator- nuclear fallout is unkind to many species. The clear ponds and streams of the Zone were once clear and pristine, home to a wide variety of wildlife. However, after the blast, the once healthy watering holes were replaced by stagnant, mucky, choked cesspools. Sensitive species such as amphibians and more delicate plants, as well as most fish, died out, unable to survive the radiation and sudden environmental change. However, the waters of the zone still support some life. Turtles, with the ability to survive pollution and breathe atmospheric air, quickly adapted and began sitting at the top of the food chain. The largest, C. imperator is a mutation of the common snapping turtle. The species features more prominent, yet streamlined shell ridges, large claws, and a razor sharp beak. The turtle can grow to be over 1,000 pounds and feed on what little life there is in the muddy water. Unlike normal snapping turtles, they have also adapted to be more terrestrial, grazing on grasses along the banks and scavenging corpses within walking distance of their homes. They have also adapted to take larger prey drinking at the water's edge in a manner similar to crocodiles. It is unknown how long these reptiles can live, but, if their original common snapping turtle origin is to be used benchmark, it may be well over 100 years.

Channa argus gigantus- officially dubbed the "Giant Northern Snakehead", C. gigantus is a mutation of the northern snakehead. The thick scales and air breathing capabilities of the snakehead allowed it to survive the rapid change and fallout of the zone. Free from most competition and predation, with the exceptions C. imperator and its own kind, Channa gigantus grew in size to almost 6 feet. Not much else is known about the changes caused by the mutation process. The species lives on a diet of insects, its own kind, the few other species of fish, and whatever is dumb enough to swim across the ponds they inhabit.
