Manic - M - REDUX

Manic is one of the many gootraxians in Laminax Co. Site Omicron, a subterranean research laboratory somewhere in the American northeast mountain ranges. Laminax Co. specializes in bioweapon creation, specifically gootraxians. Gootraxians are humanoid bipedal creatures resembling furries in appearance. The vast majority of gootraxians are formerly humans. Gootraxians are composed nearly entirely of a gooey substance known as gootrax. Despite the gooey nature of their composition they remain entirely solid, and dry to the touch. All gootraxians possess the ability to transfur (Correct spelling) humans to transform them into the same species of the infector. This process occurs through skin contact between the gootraxian’s fur and human skin, as the gootrax would be transferred from the gootraxian to the human, eventually spreading from the point of contact until the human’s entire body is covered. This process usually takes a matter of seconds but can occasionally be halted or slowed, but not stopped. Gootraxians also cannot be cured, or have their transformations reversed. It is permanent. The transfur process cannot occur if the gootraxian uses a weapon to harm a human, or if the human is wearing protective gear, however despite the gear if contact is maintained between human and gootraxian the process may still occur. The transfur process can also be seen as an infection, most commonly referred to as “The gootraxian virus.” A nickname for gootraxians is Raytraxians.

The scenario takes place in the crystal caves. The crystal caves are made up of one large chamber divided into two sections, the upper section is a walkway connecting the cafeteria, and the security area to the crystal caves. The lower section is filled to the brim with crystals, but also has a gas that can transfur someone into a given gootraxian species if inhaled for more than five minutes. In this case, they would be transfurred into a Carneline or Manic. During events, the crystals may change color. For power outages, they will turn rose. For blackouts, they will turn white. The security area is a small area to the east of the facility, containing an observation room, an interrogation room, a locker room, and a bathroom. It’s common to find high-level weapons here, such as machetes, sledge hammers, scythes, long pipes, and fireaxes. Hazmat suits can also be found here. The security area is connected to the crystal caves and lobby. The lobby consists of two rooms to the north of the facility. The first room connects the gardens to the security area, which is reception. The second room contains 3 elevators which are non-functional, as well as the only conventional way out of the facility. The cafeteria consists of 3 rooms. A hallway linking them to the crystal caves, a small dining area linking to the bathrooms, and a large one linking to both the freezer and support caves. The cafeteria is a social hub for many humans and gootraxians alike, as there is free (Actually good) food to be found. The support caves are a large cavern with high ceilings, and many concrete support pillars, however the walkable area consists exclusively of a concrete balcony with metal railings. Below this concrete is a seemingly endless pit. However there is a small social area made from wooden boards. It is sturdy enough to hold over twenty people comfortably. The support caves also have a short broken section in the balcony, but it has been haphazardly repaired with wooden boards. These boards can withstand the weight of multiple people, but they have no guardrails.

There are several risks to be transfurred into the following species of gootraxians.

Hazzy - Hazzies are bright red hybrid gootraxians with white underbellies. They’re a mix of feline, vulpine, and red-panda genetics, though it’s dominated by feline genes. They are known to wear Laminax’s hazmat suits, using the gloves to gain dexterity to use weapons with the precision a human could. Hazzies are known to be passive around healthy humans, but they are likely to attack a weakened human. Hazzies often discard used hazmat suits, leaving a residue that could transfur an injured human if they happen to be wearing a hazmat suit at the time.

Carneline - Carnelines are feline gootraxians with lavender fur, and darker fur on their lower legs and forearms. They have rose growth-like crystal outcrops on their head, ribs, knees, and tail, The ones on their heads acting as horns. (These outcrops are not actual growths) They have cyan blue eyes and rose pupils, and glowing rose mouths with cyan teeth. Their internal body structure is dramatically different from a human's, a blue flexible crystalline material replacing bone and muscle, however to the touch it still feels as if it is flesh.

Manic - Manics are mostly hot-purple furred gootraxians with darker purple accents on their hands and knees. Their chest and stomach area have a lighter purple color. Their eyes have cyan blue scleras, with thick pink irises with cyan pupils. Under their eyes they have cyan blue marking resembling eyelashes They have large, bright red glowing crystals typically around their chest, tail, and head. These crystals form claws and horns as well as body markings.
