A major part of this roleplay is the involvement of many dogs affected by a strange human virus, which leads them to becoming changed beyond recognition.

The virus is spread through the bite of an infected dog, so if you get in a fight with one, you’re running a risk (Please note that if you fight an infected dog but don’t want your character to get infected, they don’t have to be, it’s just preferred). However, if you specifically want your character to become one of the infected, then just PM someone with an infected character and ask them to bite yours.

Infected dogs really do go through a personality change – Sweet, mild dogs can turn to killers overnight. Along with a high fever that seems to run almost constantly in the canines, they become bloodthirsty and violent, and many of the infected even turn to cannibalism. The hate they feel is hard to control, and there doesn’t seem a way to stop it. Also, heightened sensitivity to the light develops; so many dogs take to inside areas or only come out at night. Coupled along with this, however, comes an increased strength and faster speed. There doesn’t seem to be a cure for the virus yet.

When creating a character, you have the choice to make them automatically infected to save you some time if you don’t want to roleplay out a whole thread in which they get infected.

A pack has been formed specifically for dogs that are infected, and it’s located in the Metro Subway. You can look at that board for more information about how to join.
