"My first taste of the Strain? Man, you see those movies where some dipshit with a bad haircut gets bit up by a bug, or falls into some glowy reactor waste or some shit like that, and they wake up the next day all fresh and suddenly they've got superpowers? Let me tell you, the guys making those movies can kiss my ass. 'Bout as soon as I shoot up with the adapted culture serum, it feels like someone just took a shot at my balls with a sledgehammer; why the fuck did it do that? Didn't happen to the others, what kind of bullshit is that, man? Well it's just about that time that the fever'd set in on us. Well, that's about the best way I can describe it in normal people terms. Maybe I'd compare it to a bad flu? Agh, anyways... I've done a fair share of drinking, I handle the occasional shot of morphine pretty good, but whooo boy, if that shit didn't fuck me up. Take a few shots of the nastiest Downstrom Kash you can find right up the nose, with 10 cc of Paraxozine, and wash it down with a party bag of Psychedelics and there's the closest thing I can imagine to what things started to feel like after the first few hours. But that's small compared to what came next. What nobody knew at the time was the Strain made you hallucinate, HARD. And this was some scary shit to get a certified hardass of Ragnarok Company off his balance--I had fucking ants hatching out of my teeth for days. It wasn't over quick either. It was twenty-two-seven pure nightmare fuel, with a couple of lucid moments sprinkled throughout just to make you realize how much you miss the real world before you go back to being skullfucked by a clown. Alongside that, don't know what, but the Strain does something to the sweat glands when it works on ya, I guess to make the skin elastic enough to keep from tearin' under the tension of the changes. But fuck, it makes every inch of you feel rubbery and oily, like you've been rubbed over with petrogel. But it stops ya from radiating away the heat in your body, and so we're all running temps near enough to cook in, and all of this shit on our skin's keeping us from cooling off. Nurse tried to scrape some of it off of course, but the nasty shit's oozing out so quick she gives up and goes back to just tryin to keep me stable. And yeah, that's about all there is to tell. I don't remember much else besides the hallucinations. Docs say we woke up about a week later, confused and mad as all hell, that they had to keep most of us on meds for a few more days before we came back to our senses. The end result? Well, that's pretty clear enough to see, don't you think? Mhm, the later infusions hurt more, hurt like nothing else you can imagine. But at least there's no hallucinations. That's talk for another time though, classified info and company secrets and all that jazz, ya know?" Tell him about the physical mutations, that shit hurt bro. It was like god came down and said fuck you I'm starting over. The worst thing bout the injections was the fact that you had no idea what DNA you where getting. It's like drinking from a bartenders spill glass. Wolf, Vamp, that shit had everything in it. You ever play that video game with the dragons and scrolls? Remember how that guy could breath fire no problem? Fuck that shit, it's like hell's coming up from your soul. Bones coming out of you like horns…and that was the tame shit. Before you go back to being regular you go full monster…and it's not pretty.

Heh, this could be a pretty clever deconstruction of obtaining super powers and all that if you ran with it.

The transition wasn't gonna be nice and soft to begin with but I like those excerpts.
Also different reactions/change effects on everyone, and differing um...that stuff you 2 wrote.

It would make an interesting dynamic for the team.

Any requests for places you was or stuff you were doing when recruited/contracted ? I kinda want mine to be a modern day pirate but instead of having a small boat like somali ones it'd be a stolen destroyer or something.

The last survivor of my base. Either overrun by Werewolves or a Dragon. Preferably the later.

I'll have to get back to you on that. Try and think of a good back story.

Dragon would be cooler but the setting doesn't have them so it's gonna have to be werewolves.
You mean you'd be a soldier be decide to be a merc when offered cause you wanna get back at the monsters ? That could actually be cool, it'd make Vokun (or whatever name you wish, within reason) more ethical and honor-bound. As opposed to others who are career mercs who might be more morally flexible or ambiguous. Or arguably nigh-villians like Ice.

Might be stuff that's *called* demons but not evil spirits from hell no.

I dunno, maybe a nickname for older vamps' One Winged Angel* forms or something. But then your guy wouldn't survive..
*it's a trope meaning a monster form, basically
