Latex-Crystal Virus (LCV)

## Origins

The virus is commonly known as Furry Fever, a name given by the media due to the obvious transformation it causes in its victims. It was first discovered in the Goo Labs facility, where scientists were conducting research on the properties of the latex used to create the furries. It is believed that a small leak in the facility's containment system allowed the virus to escape and infect the surrounding area.

## Crystals

The LCV Crystals are the remnants of the infected creatures that roam our world. These crystals are created when an infected creature dies, and they emit a strange and eerie glow that is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

The crystals are extremely dangerous and should not be touched under any circumstances. If a person comes into contact with the crystal, the LCV virus will infect their body and transform them into one of the many different furry species that are spreading across our world.

The LCV virus completely wipes the user's memories in less than 10 seconds, causing them to be controlled by animalistic primal instincts and attempting to infect others. The infected creatures have a variety of powers and abilities, ranging from enhanced strength and agility to the ability to fly or become invisible.

The LCV crystals are a haunting reminder of the devastation that the virus has caused and should be handled with the utmost care and caution. They serve as a warning of the horrors that can be unleashed when science is taken too far and caution is not exercised.

## Aftermath

The virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with the latex or crystals produced by infected individuals. Once the virus infects a person, it quickly spreads through their body, transforming their genetic structure and wiping their memories. The process is incredibly painful and traumatic for the infected individual.

The furries created by the Furry Fever are incredibly diverse, with each infected individual exhibiting unique traits and abilities. These abilities are a result of mutations in their genetic code, which is heavily influenced by their subconscious desires and primal instincts. Some furries exhibit traits such as night vision, heightened senses, and super strength, while others are able to fly or crawl on walls.

The infected individuals are completely controlled by their animal instincts, and will stop at nothing to spread the virus to others. They are incredibly fast, strong, and agile, making them difficult to contain or control. The only way to stop the virus from spreading is to eliminate infected individuals before they can infect others.

Despite numerous attempts to find a cure or treatment for the Furry Fever, scientists have been unable to develop a viable solution. The virus remains one of the greatest threats to humanity, with the potential to cause a global pandemic if it ever spreads beyond its current containment zone.

As the outbreak of the furry virus spread throughout the city, panic and chaos ensued. The infected individuals, now completely controlled by their primal instincts, roamed the streets in search of new hosts to infect. The virus was quickly spreading, and soon the entire city was overrun by furries of all shapes and sizes.

It wasn't long before rumors started circulating about the source of the virus, with many pointing to the Goo Labs facility as the culprit. The city was in a state of emergency, with the military being called in to contain the outbreak and quarantine the area.

As the furries continued to spread, the military launched a full-scale attack on the Goo Labs facility, hoping to find a way to stop the virus from spreading any further. But they were too late, and the facility had already been destroyed, with all of the scientists inside killed by AlOx.

Despite their best efforts, the military was unable to contain the virus, and soon it spread beyond the city limits, causing chaos and destruction across the entire region. It seemed as though there was no stopping the furry outbreak, and the world was left to wonder if this was the end of humanity as we knew it.

## Base powers

These are the powers that almost all furries have.

* Shapeshifting - The infected furries have the ability to change their physical form into different animals, ranging from wolves, cats, and rabbits to mythical creatures such as griffins and dragons.
* Enhanced senses - The furries have extremely powerful senses, including sight, smell, and hearing. They can see in the dark, track prey for miles, and detect even the slightest scent.
* Super strength and speed - The furries possess incredible physical strength and agility, allowing them to move at superhuman speeds and lift heavy objects.
* Regeneration - The furries can quickly heal from injuries, even severe wounds that would be fatal to a human.
* Elemental control - Some furries have the power to control elements such as fire, ice, and electricity, using them to attack or defend themselves.

## Variations

The 2 most common furries are White and Black (AKA Latex and Puros, respectively) but there are extreme mutations. These are some known to the Outbreak date:

1. Shadowcats - These furries are black as coal and can blend in with shadows. They have the power to manipulate shadows to create illusions and hide from enemies.
2. Wyverns - These furries have wings and can fly through the air at incredible speeds. They can also breathe fire, making them deadly in combat.
3. Krakens - These furries resemble octopuses and have the power to manipulate water. They can create tidal waves, summon storms, and even control marine life.
4. Chameleons - These furries have the ability to change their skin color to match their surroundings, making them excellent at camouflage. They can also use their long tongues to capture prey from a distance.
5. Golems - These furries are made of rock or other materials and have incredible strength and durability. They can also manipulate earth, creating earthquakes and other natural disasters.
6. Crystalbacks: These furries have crystalline growths on their backs that allow them to generate intense energy blasts. They can also use their crystal growths to create shields and deflect incoming attacks.
7. Shadowbeasts: These furries can blend into the shadows and become invisible. They can also manipulate shadows to create illusions and teleport short distances.
8. Thundercats: These furries have electric powers and can generate lightning bolts and shockwaves. They are also incredibly fast and agile.
9. Acidspitters: These furries can produce acidic saliva and spray it at their enemies, melting anything it touches. They can also create pools of acid on the ground to trap their foes.
10. Flamefoxes: These furries have the power to control fire and can breathe flames. They can also create fiery barriers to protect themselves.
11. Frostwolves: These furries can control ice and snow, freezing anything in their path. They can also create blizzards and snowstorms to hinder their enemies.

Although these variations wont be included in the game until some time passes, Dont worry, they will pest you for a loooong time, just that not yet =)

## Trivia

* The scientists tried to use the virus to cure people's chronical diseases thanks to its properties, but ended up creating the furries that we know to this date.
* Scientists have tried forcing other variations into fighting the most powerful ones, but these gained intelligence and kept the weakest as pets. The most powerful ones kept trying to train the weakest, but failed. Thats how scientist were able to study them without any danger, thus documenting their powers.
