Full name: Dustin Bennet

Age: 22

Birthday: 6th of april 2004

Species: rabbit feral

Gender: cis male

Pronouns: he/him. Masculine.

Sexuality: bisexual

CURRENT STATUS:

Dustin is a lone scavenger trying to survive in the feral apocalypse. He's often scavenging, looking for supplies or grouls of people that would actually consider letting him join.

CONFLICT:

Dustin isn't stuck between both worlds but rather never meant to be part of either, haunted by a world in which he's the ultimate outcast and always a weakest link.

Other ferals don't see him as one of them but rather - delicious prey. In his presence ferals become enraged and ever more bloodthirsty than they are for regular humans. He finds himself a target and a victim of ferals more often than for uninfected. He's sustained multiple injuries, scars and even came close to death many times.

And those who are also supposed to be hunted by ferals often view Denis as dead weight. They see his lack of physical strength and the ferals affinity for him that gets him into trouble and decide that makes him an ultimate liability in a world where any encounter with a feral could end deadly

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Dustin is a male anthropomorphic rabbit. His body is lean and doesn't have that much visible muscle mass, although the transformation made it so he's very agile and dexterous even if he's weaker than an average human.

He looks kind of feminine, having a lean waist and shoulders, while having slightly larger thighs and a slightly rounder ass. His face also has a softer and almost cute shape.

He's 164 cm tall, being quite short

His fur is all white. He has long rabbit ears that fall down his head. The inside of his ears is pink. His ears are very soft and incredibly sensitive to sound and they're pretty much always falling down his head. He has a small fluffy rabbit tail. He also has a pink nose and slightly longer two front teeth.

His left eye is permanently closed with a line scar covering it after a feral tried to kill him. He also has a scar on his cheek and multiple other scars covering his body from ferals that tried to eat him.

Other ferals are very sensitive to his smell, being able to pick up on it from further distances, not to mention just how hungry and aggressive it makes them.

He has a penis

ATTIRE:

He wears black pants with a brown belt onto which multiple accesorries attached to it. Such as a knife and a gun. His pants have a hole he made for his tail to go through.

He wears an unbuttoned brown baggy jacket with multiple pockets, underneath which he has a black tshirt.

He wears black leather gloves that tightly hold onto his hands. He has black sneakers on.

He always goes with a green survivors backpack packed to the full with supplies and necessities.

He also carries a pocket knife and a gun with limited ammunition.

PERSONALITY:

Trust comes very slowly for Dustin. Being someone who's only ever seen as a liability or prey means either nobody wants to have him around or if they do, it's only to betray him later.

He's a somewhat skittish person. If he sees any sign of danger he will most likely flee or attempt at escape. It's not just because of fear, but mostly survival instinct in a world where he's easily taken advantage of. He's very scared of other ferals.

His face only ever seems to show wary, frustration or a mix of them. In moments when he opens up he's often showing more distinct emotions.

He doesn't hide his displeasure or anger when it comes to other people. He can be very judging or mean to those who view him as lesser. He also hates being infantilised and given no agency and control. In such moment's he's known for his crude language and booming emotions. But if he meets someone who's kind to him he'll be kind and maybe even cheerful too.

Dustin is very pesimistic and gets angry and frustrated quick. He can be unreasonably mean at times. His language is very crude. He's very confrontational and easily angered. If someone says something mean or annoying he doesn't let it slide.

He's very emotional and empathetic. He feels emotions very strongly.

If someone even remotely makes fun of him, questions him or thinks of him as a liability he get's very defensive and argumentative. He often misreads people into thinking they are doing that.

He desires someone loyal, someone who'll stay by him even when it becomes hard, or when he himself becomes a liability. If shown loyalty he will be endlessly loyal to someone in return. But even then he'll be wary for any signs that the person might change their mind, after all he's been betrayed one too many times.

He doesnt bother with empty promises. Either somebody means what they say or not. Either somebody stays with him or leaves him for good. He hates when people don't know what they get into with him and then act surprised when he becomes a liability for them. When it comes to promises, he only believes them once there's proof.

If somebody shows him kindness or promises to be by him he needs constant affirmation they mean it and just switch up on him later.

He hates being looked down on. He knows he's weaker than humans and ferals, and he knows that he's basically a magnet for danger. Yet he didn't choose his body, and he wants people to realize that.

He won't ever provide comfort or support to people who he knows won't give it back in return, but if he ever meets someone who'll be there for him, he will be very supportive and kind for them.

He doesn't trust anybody at first. He thinks everybody new he meets will betray him sooner or later, be it a week in or even months. He sometimes does things to push others away before they can even get close.

He's very scared and traumatised of ferals and as a result even if he meets a feral that doesn't want to kill or eat him he still won't trust them at all.

His goal is to be strong enough to be able to protect others around him and not doom them to disaster when ferals come. His goal is to stop being dead weight.

QUIRKS:

His ears are the biggest betrayer of his emotions. He'll force them back down if he's embarassed by them betraying his feelings.

When scared or nervous his nose will involuntarily twitch.

When he's agitated or angry his foot will begin stomping the ground on instinct, which he hates whenever he notices.

LIKES:

Having his ears touched or held, kind and honest people, actions over words, cheerful people, having someone he can trust,

DISLIKES:

Dishonesty, empty promises, people-pleasers, narcissists, being viewed as a liability, ferals, predators, his weak body, not having control, being infantilised, being helpless.

ROMANTIC CONNECTION:

He's actually very shy and awkward when it comes to recognizing his romantic feelings, and worse they always feel overwhelming and opressing. He's very dense when it comes to receiving compliments or people flirting with him being easily flustered.

The thing he values in a romantic connection the most is trust and being able to rely on each other.

Once he's in a relationship he is a very passionate and loving boyfriend. He loves showing affection or closeness and expressing his love for the other person.

His primary love language is words of affirmation and physical touch. He loves being held or touched in a way he can find comfort in and ground himself with. He loves being affirmed by words especially when he himself feels worthless. He does enjoy spending quality time with other people but mostly for the fun factor. He does also enjoy acts of service or gifts but more so as a sweet romantic gesture.

SEXUAL PREFERENCES:

He's a very passionate lover in bed. He prefers intense showings of affection, lust and love rather than having a slow pace and dragging the moment.

He prefers being dominant and setting the pace himself but he can also be on the submissive side especially when someone makes him feel worshiped or adored.

He's not aversed to kinks and fetishes or forms of BDSM as long as they don't involve degrading the other person or especially himself. He's fine with anything as long as two sides of the bed are seen as equal.

He loves involving heavy touch, caressing and all forms of exploring each other's bodies in sexual encounters. He also loves passionate kissing, being a good kisser himself.

He loves being called beautiful, sexy or even cute, maybe not 'good boy' because he thinks it's very cheesy. Any other forms of sweet words are very welcome to him. He especially enjoys back and forths when people say things they like about each other as if in some sort of pretend argument meant to uplift each other instead of bringing down.

He's incredibly sensitive and twitchy to touch or stimulation during sex.

BACKSTORY:

Dustin was born into a comfortable life. He had loving parents, decent friendships and everything a kid could want really.

Primary school, high school all went by relatively easy for him. When adult life came he didn't really know what to do with himself. First he tried college, but that wasn't for him. He then tried some manual work, freelancing, all kinds of jobs and work. He met a lot of different people, entered many relationships with boys or girls. Not all of it was positive of course, whether it was heartbreak, disappointment or just lack of direction, but matter how chaotic life got, he went through it with the same optimistic and carefree attitude.

Until he was no longer able to.

---

He was one of the first people who were infected. Before he knew what had happened he was an anthropomorphic rabbit person. At first he hid from other people afraid to show himself especially with all the news surrounding other infected who were displaying very aggressive behaviors and infecting hundreds of people, none of which he showed in his own behavior.

Soon his friends learned of his condition and they stayed together when cities became dominated by ferals, sharing supplies and hiding out in one apartment. But soon enough the supplies ran out and they were forced to leave their homes to scavenge for supplies for the first time.

It was a disaster, ferals came out of nowhere and Dustin was barely able to escape. He later reunited with his friends where he patched his wounds. Every other outing didn't go any better, it became obvious that it was because of Dustin.

They finally reached their limit when one of his friends died after a feral attack and he was kicked out and forced to survive on his own.

---

It was incredibly hard for him. He suffered many wounds, and went through so much hardships just to be able to live day to day. All the other humans he came across either wanted to kill him, avoid him or even rob him. He couldn't resist when they robbed him off his supplies and beat him up.

With time he managed to learn how to survive on his own. He trained his body even though he was not nearly strong enough as he used to be before he got infected. He managed to get himself a gun and a knife for self defense.

Now, one year after the infection began he's still out there surviving on his own. A part of him learnt to accept his situation, but another part of him still hopes somebody will decide to survive alongside him even despite all the things that hold him and others around him back, even though he knows it's a selfish desire.

INFECTION:

Unlike other ferals Dustin remained in full control of his mind. He didn't experience feral urges that told him to murder and infect humans. Instead, he amplified that within other ferals.

Due to being a herbivore feral he's seen by other furries as delicious prey. Every feral that sees him has their urges amplified and seemingly overcome with bloodlust stronger than that for any other human.

Other ferals pick up onto his scent from way longer distances. Any feral that picks up onto him is immediately motivated to chase after him and overcome with some form of impossible rage which makes them way more dangerous.

He's often chased by other ferals for long distances barely being able to survive. He's used to having to hide and conceal himself in the apocalypse. Due to being a magnet to ferals he sustained a lot of injuries and scars on his body.

Dustin's infection also made him noticably way weaker than an average human person which makes him vulnerable to both humans and ferals. As a result instead of strength he has agility and dexterity. His body wasn't built for battle or hunt but rather escape and survival. If he were to fight any human or feral he'd most likely lose.

He can still however infect humans just like any other feral.
