Estra S. Moranti

Alias: Grumpfins
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Birthday: August 4th. xxx
Species: Hybrid Snowflake Moray Eel
Hair: Black
Eye: Yellow
Height: 12'2" (Torso=5'8", Tail=6'8")

Appearance:
Estra has a rather pallor appearance, black scaling going up his neck and back with yellow splotches. Messy short black hair with yellow eyes, and black ear fins with yellow white spotting. Estra is handsome with a muscular body with a white, black and yellow splotching eel tail bottom half, sharp nails, white webbing between fingers, and gills on the side of his neck. Due to being a Hybrid he is much longer than other Snowflake Moray Eels. Estra has poor eyesight but a rather keen sense of smell.

Personality:
Introverted, Obsessive, Territorial, Emotionally Guarded, Hyper-aware, Loyal (in secret), Easily Agitated, Poor social skills, Possessive, Messy Eater & Groomer, Suspicious by default, Sensitive, Protective Instinct, Unintentionally funny, Curious

Background:
Estra was born to the Deeprift pod, a group that made its home in the colder, deeper trench zones of Aquatica’s outer shelf. His mother was a stern defender of the pod, and his father (rarely seen) was a massive snowflake moray hybrid who lived alone along the rocky lift walls. Their pairing was brief, and Estra was born unusually large, long bodied, and different.
From his earliest cycles, Estra was….wrong. He moved like a predator, he struck first, and he didn't play with the other younglings, he instead watched from the crevices. He bit too hard, swam too fast, and didn’t understand why his presence made others nervous.
When he was nine, an aggressive snap during a feeding frenzy left another pod member badly injured. That was the final crack in a long failing relationship between Estra and the pod. The elders exiled him, not cruelly, but with a cold sort of fear. He was left near a reef system far from the migration routes, with food caches and a no return order.
Estra survived, alone. He carved out a cave within a narrow reef chasm, it was dark, sheltered, and shaped exactly to his body. He lined it with bones, shells, and whatever scraps drifted close. Over time, he grew stronger, longer, and more sensitive to every ripple in the water around him. He learned to hunt by scent, he memorized current shifts and he lived off instinct and caution. When pods passed by, he watched in silence, always from the shadows. They whispered about him. The Pale-Coiled One…The Cavewatcher. And he didn’t mind the solitude…not at first.
At fifteen, he suffered a deep wound from a territorial saltwater crocodile. Unable to swim properly, he was found by a CRRC scout and (despite his aggression) was brought to the Coral Reef Rehabilitation Center for treatment. He bit a nurse, he hissed at doctors. But eventually… he let one of them tend to his wounds, and left as soon as he could, but they never forgot him and they still send someone to check on him every migration cycle. He tolerates them.

Before The Fall-
The world was entering an age of biotechnology, where government and private sectors invested billions into genetic engineering, neural repair, and bio-weapon research under the guise of “medical innovation”.
Project V-F5, created by defense contractors under government funding, aimed to merge viral speed with fungal resilience. They hoped to produce a regenerative neural compound that could rewire damaged brain tissue in soldiers and trauma victims. The trials were successful…until it mutated.
The Containment Site Theta suffered a breach during live testing, and the strain spread to staff and military personnel within hours. The Chimera Strain demonstrated a horrifying adaptability (using viral and spore based transmissions) to infect human hosts and within weeks, regional quarantine zones failed.


Chimera Strain V-F5
The Howl

The Chimera Strain was the result of a government-funded experiment combining the rabies virus genetics with a parasitic fungal organism that was engineered to stimulate neural regeneration. Originally meant to treat traumatic brain injuries, the hybrid mutated, gaining the rabies virus’s neural invasion traits and the fungus’s spore-based survival mechanisms.When a containment breach occurred during a live testing, the strain adapted rapidly, finding human hosts perfect for both viral and fungal growth.


Transmission

-Bites, Blood, Scratching: Primary infection method
-Spore Exposure: Released when an Bloated Infected Body is Ruptured, Shot, Stabbed, or Crushed.
-Airborne: In enclosed spaces or after explosions, spores can hang suspended for hours.
The infection retains the rabies trait- they fear water, react violently to splashing sounds, and refuse to cross rivers or venture in the rain.


Symptoms and Infection Stages

Stage 1- Viral Onset

  • Headache, High Fever, Nausea, Discomfort

  • Numbness or tingling near the wound, Pain, Itching

  • Eyes redden and Veins around temples darken

  • Experiences intense thirst but struggles to drink

Stage 2- Neural

  • Confusion, Agitation, Delirium

  • Eyes start to appear more sunk in

  • Rapid muscle contractions, and violent outbursts

  • Erratic breathing, drooling, and paranoia

  • Start to react to sounds and scents rather than sight

Stage 3- System Collapse

  • Organ failure and Cardiac Arrest

  • Black veins spread across the body

  • Brain death occurs, but fungal takeover begins within the hour.

Stage 4- Reanimation

  • Fungous reactivates the body’s nervous system, like puppet strings

  • The infected’s eyes turn bloodshot and glassy

  • Strength and speed increase beyond normal human limits, pain response is gone

  • Hunger becomes instinctual


Behaviors

-Infected are drawn to heat, noise, and movement
-They instinctively avoid water (hydrophobia due to rabies)
-They make low growls, sharp hisses, or distorted human-like noises


Additional Notes~

-Headshots aren’t a guarantee of safety as that can cause Spores to release, as they are localized in the brain.
-Decapitation or burning are some of the safe methods to deal with the infected.
-Gas Masks are needed for Spore infected areas.
-Fire and Acid destroy spores completely, but both are hard to control.
-Rain dampens spores temporarily.



Zombie Stages

Biters/Snappers:
-Early stages
-Aggressive, Hungry, and Fast
Biters are the first stage of an infected, they are aggressive and tend to travel in groups

Howlers:
-2nd Stage
-Fungi starts taking over the head more, spores start to take over the eyes
-Blind
The fungus has started to push its way out through the infected’s eyes, causing them to go blind and rely more on their sense of smell.

Bloaters:
-Spores have traveled to the gut
-Walking time bomb of rabid fungal spores
-Slow movers, Blind, Tracks Prey Through Smell
Bloaters are bigger, as their bodies have started to bloat from gas build up and rabid spores traveling down to the gut. Bloaters are dangerous, if they explode on a noninfected person the spores from it can affect them and make them turn into Biters.
