This to will be a bit apocalyptic as well as fantasy


The world is shrouded in darkness. Cities have crumbled, towns and communities turned to dust. However, the streets are not abandoned. There are radioactive plants growing everywhere, some twice the size of the average man. Mutated beasts that people call the Zvir wander around, waiting for their next victim. The year is 2022. It's been three years since this happened. Humanity's population has dropped drastically since then, only about 40% remains. Some of them live in large communities, others in small groups, and some in gangs, which are quite unfriendly.

What happened three years ago was that there was a lab set up at the most radioactive site in the world; Chernobyl. Scientists there were studying a new chemical, which no one knows exactly what, and were testing how it reacted with radioactivity. They believed that the new chemical could erase the negative effects of radiation and give out positive effects. The 'test subjects', as they were called, were exposed to this new mixture and then put into containment areas where the scientists could study the effects.

They started to notice some changes in the human test subjects, some being size enhancement of the limbs, or extra limbs starting to grow. The subjects, other than the extra/larger limbs, seemed to be physically healthy. However, the mix of the radiation and chemical were affecting their brains, not that the scientists noticed nor cared. Deciding that this was 'progress', animals of several different species and types were brought in to be exposed. As animals are different from humans, they started to mutate a bit more rapidly and differently than the human subjects.

A few weeks had passed and the scientists were getting worried; the animals were alien-like, almost unrecognisable as to what they were originally, and they were getting extremely aggressive. The humans were in a similar state, also looking very alien-like, and had seemingly also forgotten who and what they were. They were no longer capable of speech and reacted negatively to the scientists. One of the mutated humans had managed to escape from the containment area and almost grabbed onto a scientist. Fearing for their safety, they called in the help of the military in case anything went wrong.

Unaware of what they were dealing with, the group of soldiers that the military had sent in decided that they wanted to see these 'beasts', as the scientists were now calling them, themselves. The mutated wolf reacted quickly, wiping the soldiers out, although was almost killed in the process. Screams of terror and panic ripped through the lab along with the blaring alarms as the people inside fled to escape the mutated wolf. In amongst the panic, the other containment cells were opened, unleashing the rest of the beasts.

The majority of the scientists were killed, and the remaining ones were wounded and rushed to a hospital. The military was sent out to hunt down the creatures, some hunts being successful with finding a beast, but unsuccessful in killing it. After spending a week recovering in hospital, the survivors started to develop mutations similar to the ones that attacked them, only much more quickly, and much more dangerous. Hearing this news, the people of Ukraine started to evacuate, some being wounded in the process.

As people spread around the world to various hospitals to try and heal their wounds, they started to mutate themselves and start the population of beasts in that country. By now people were calling these creatures the Zvir, which was Ukrainian for beast. The Zvir population spread like wildfire, and in a short period of time, were taking over large cities and smaller towns and communities. Animals were affected as well, as the Zvir that were once predators still had their hunting instincts in them, which lead to animals turning into Zvir. Plants were also affected, growing larger than their usual size, and most started to develop diets for meat, while others stuck to the sun.

Over the past three years, a few groups of people have managed to successfully set up bases safe from the Zvir. Some have even been able to kill a few of the Zvir. It is possible, but apparently very difficult. The gangs that have formed are extremely hostile to those not a part of their gang, and will often kill them straight away, or rob them of their supplies and leave them there. They have also been known to raid bases and wreak havoc, and no one knows why. It is rare for them to take in new members. Every year it is getting harder to survive, and every year the population of non-affected living things goes down. It's not clear if humanity will be able to survive this radioactive world. On the hidden island of the remaining surviving animals the leaves looked like jades and emeralds on mother nature's arms and legs, the sounds of the forest; the twinkles of laughter from the forest imps and fairies, the neighs of the majestic unicorns or the stamping of hooves and calling of the great forest protectors... the centaurs but the violent rawrs of the wyverns or dragons fill the air. You watched a young orphaned black unicorn foal but then you smelt burning...

The ranks
Alphas:
The Alphas are the Wisest, Strongest, Highest ranking members of the wolf pack as they hold absolute control over their pack members. The Alphas are responsible for leading the pack on hunts, establishing pack territory and its safety, accepting strangers into the pack or driving errant wolves out of the pack. They are responsible for keeping the pack in order and in control and will take many precautions to see that the pack is not disturbed. Each pack member is considered family but respect is still presistant. The Alpha couple are always the first to eat from a kill, gets the biggest portions and choicest cuts of food. They tell the pack what to do, where to go, and how to work without questions from their members. Keeping things at a strict basis is their way of showing their care and concern for the pack-mates.The Alpha wolves can also choose their most trusted companions to become their Betas. They demand respect and are in the position to punish or banish those who do not show it. An alphas command can not be disobeyed without consequences.


Betas:
The Beta rank is the highest ranking wolf in the pack just below the Alpha couple. The Beta wolf is essentially the second-in-command of the wolf pack and beyond this most significant point, the Beta is otherwise similar to wolves in the High rank. When the Alpha's are absence (which for reason can be surveying areas, chosing new territory, editing sites, etc), it is the Beta's job to make sure the pack is organized and under control. Any problems that occur in the pack, the Betas report to the Alphas and allow the Alphas to take control. When the Alphas are indeed away for a time, these wolves are the next in authority and demand the same respect and control from their packmates.


Delta:
A Delta is knows as a third in command, they are below the Alphas and Betas but are higher up in the rankings then other wolves. Deltas usually take control of the spars and training when the Betas or Alphas are too busy to do so.


Lead Warrior:
The lead warrior takes his/her orders directly from the Alphas or Betas. They are the main leader, general, or captain of the warriors in the pack. Warrior wolves protect the pack with their lives and will not back down from a fight against something that is threatening the pack. They also go on border controls to keep an eye on the pack borders, usually are the ones who bring new wolves to the Alphas and if Alphas are away, the Betas.


Warriors:
The amount of warriors depends on the size of the pack. They are the guardians and protectors of the pack. The warriors will roam the pack lands ensuring it's safety. They are the ones that will keep watch at night. They protect the pack with their lives. If the pack is threatened and the Hunters and Scouters are indeed in danger, they take their place and fight for the safety of the pack. The warriors must be quick to think and remain calm in any given situation.


Hunters:
They can either gather food or service for the pack or track down the ones that appear threatening. They mostly introduce their recruits to the Alphas to see whether or not other wolves can be accepted. They also protect the pack by fighting off enemies or predators. If there are ones that are threatening the pack, they take on the role of "decoys" till the pack has found safety. Once the "coast is clear", they meet up with the pack hours later.


Healers:
When someone is injured from a battle, fight or accident, they are to be sent to healer or others call them Pack doctors. Healers can either be gifted to heal another wolf or are good with medicin and looking after wolves. Healers stay out of pack fights as they are needed to heal, if there are no healers, the pack can slowly grow weak.


Omegas:
There are usualy two Omega wolves in the pack - one male and one female, similar to the Alphas but at the opposite end of the pack ranking system. The Omega pair have no authority in the pack except over pups (to support the Elders) and virtually no rights. Omega wolves do not partake in pack hunts, instead they remain at the dens and function as babysitters to the pack's pup litter, teaching these young wolves skills and providing advice for them that are given from the Alphas or Betas . As the last allowed to feed from kills, these wolves get the leanest and worst portions of meat and typically risk starvation during poor hunting periods.
