pan-dem-ic (adj/n) /pan-demik/ -

1. (of a disease) Prevalent over a whole country or the world
2. An outbreak of such a disease

My first pet created on misticpets as "Kli". Since then he has been re-named Pandemic, gender changed, and made plague.

Patient #0

I observe the physician with the same diligence as the disease; I see his fears, and I fear with him. I overtake him, I overrun him in his fear, and I go the faster because he makes his pace slow. I fear the more, because he disguises his fear, and I see it with the more sharpness, because he would not have me see it. He knows that his fear shall not disorder the practice and exercise of his art, but he knows that my fear may disorder the effect and working of his practice.

As the ill affections of the soul complicate and mingle themselves with every infirmity of the body, so does fear insinuate itself in every action or passion of the mind; and as the wind in the body will counterfeit any disease--and seem the stone and seem the gout--so fear will counterfeit any disease of the mind. It shall seem love, a love of having, and it is but fear; a jealous and suspicious fear, of losing. It shall seem valor in despising, and undervaluing danger; and it is but fear, in an overvaluing of opinion and estimation, and a fear of losing that.

A man that is not afraid of a lion is afraid of a cat; not afraid of starving, and yet is afraid of some joint of meat at the table, presented to feed him; not afraid of the sound of drums, and trumpets, and shot, and those which they seek to drown, the last cries of men, and is afraid of some particular harmonious instrument; so much afraid, as that with any of these the enemy might drive this man, otherwise valiant enough, out of the field.

I know not what fear is, nor I know not what it is that I fear now; I fear not the hastening of my death, and yet I do fear the increase of the disease; I should belie nature if I should deny that I feared this, and if I should say that I feared death, I should belie myself. My weakness is from nature, who has but her measure, my strength is from the spirit, who possesses, and distributes infinitely.

As then every cold air is not a damp, every shivering is not a stupefaction, so every fear is not a fearfulness, every declination is not a running away, every debating is not a resolving, every wish that it were not thus, is not a murmuring, nor a dejection though it be thus; but as my physician's fear puts not him from his practice, neither does mine put me, from receiving from man, and myself, spiritual, and civil, and moral assistance, and consolations of my predicament, that has become quite interesting indeed as the manifestation of my disease; the manifestation of the death that I myself do not fear and yet do not wish for...

The Plague

Name: Forgotten long ago
Aliases: Pandemic, The Plague, Demi
Pronounced: Pan-dem-ick
Form: Dark Lion/Human Animagus
Age: Ageless; appears about 25 in human form

SO: Straight
Status: Single (Not looking, but may find if certain...circumstances involving his curse can be found a way around)

Shifter Form: Lion
Element Incarnate: Light
Occupation: The Plague

Strengths and Abilities: Pandemic, despite his rather placid nature, is a force to be reckoned with and is amazingly dangerous. He's built for brutish strength and doesn't fail to live up to this expectation. He can willingly shift between his human form and his lion one, making him very near to a double threat, especially when in his lion form because of the massive teeth and razor sharp claws. Another danger is, quite simply, that he's the plague. No, he isn't sick with it, he is it. He infects everything around him with only a touch or a step and grass and life withers beneath his feet no matter what form he's in. He can do nearly anything with this sickness that he controls; he can infect someone to let them die slowly from the touch of it, let them rot immediately on site, or, quite possibly the worst of the abilities, is to let them be eaten by insects that feed on the plague from the inside-out to be changed into nothingness. This sickness can spread from being to being with only a touch or closeness, since it's highly contagious, so he actually doesn't have to will someone to become infected if they get too close or touch him since they probably will on their own without any say so from him. Because he's been made into this strange incarnate of the plague, he cannot die of sickness or old age, however, injury may kill him since he's certainly not immortal even if he's very close to it.

Weaknesses: Despite the power that Pandemic has he actually can't control most of his powers as much as he wishes he could. He has quite the conscience and can't stand the fact that everything he touches, literally, dies. It's driven him nearly insane with grief and so he's tried to isolate himself from the world many times but to no avail. He has no way to "turn off" his powers, so he can't keep any friends, really, since he would harm them and so tends to push everyone away, leaving him mostly on his own. He also has a weakness toward sunlight and so tends to keep in the shadows; it actually burns him, to an extent, though not like the effects on a vampire or anything. It's simply uncomfortable and prolonged exposure to it can result in weakness or fatigue. As stated before, he also can be injured by means of both magic or physical attack and has no way of healing beyond natural means. He refuses to remember anything about his past, too, but not because he can't but rather simply because he doesn't want to for fear it would add more pain to his already terrible existence. This cuts of him off from any hope of remembering how to break this curse that was put over him, and no amount of persuasion has been known to move him to try and remember.

Attitude: Pandemic is very mysterious by nature and tends to not talk to someone unless they talk to him first or get too close, and then it's usually simply a warning to leave or go away. He isn't unkind, though, and seems tired most of the time or worn down, depressed with the world or melancholy about unknown things. He comes off as almost depressed or at the very least sad and regretful, fitting the bill of "emo" very well. He very rarely smiles, and when he does it's halfheartedly. Pandemic doesn't really remember what "Fun" is or what it ever had to do with him, but perhaps if he met someone with a bit of a better attitude it would help him find it again, though it could be doubtful. He also is surprisingly protective over anyone; just people in general. He doesn't wish a bad fate on anyone and just wishes to help despite being in a position that doesn't allow it.

Quad Appearance: In his quad form, Pandemic is, basically, a massive lion with grayscale-like colors. His fur is a medium dark gray with a rather dull sheen and darker gray tips of color on his ears. Tiger-like stripes of that same darker color as his ears run along his front shoulders and the first part of his front legs and torso as well as along his hindquarters and the first half of his tail. The inside of his ears are pale pink as is his nose. Bandages are wrapped around his front legs up to the elbow joint and these may or may not be bloodied, but are always loose and tattered. His mane is a sheen jet black and the same black color is what color the tuft of fur at the tip of his tail is. However, his mane is styled in such a way that a lock of it covers his right eye in almost an emo style, and this lock that covers that eye is colored crimson as if it were dipped in blood or some sort of red dye. This eye is never visible, however, the eye that is visible is pale pink and red like the eye of something with the albino gene. It seems to be outlined in black, almost like eyeliner, and an upside down cross is visible beneath it etched in black on his fur. His claws are jet black and he always seems to appear sad, if a lion can look melancholy.

Human Appearance: Pandemic fits the bill of "emo" pretty well in his human appearance. He's lanky with strength lurking underneath and his hair is jet black, cut in the typical emo style with his bangs covering his right eye and those bangs are red just like in his quad form. The eye that's visible still looks like he's wearing eyeliner and has the upside-down cross under it in black. His complexion is rather pale and almost gray, like he's sickly, and his visible eye is pale pink and red as if he were albino despite the fact he isn't. He wears dark t-shirts, usually black or red, and most of the time they have some sort of random design on them and he also is known for wearing a gray jacket around, left casually unzipped. He wears fingerless gloves on his hands, black in color, that go only to his wrist and then has several black bands and bracelets that go up along his arms to his elbows. He always wears jet black jeans and a silver studded black belt complete with black and white converse. He wears a black collar-like necklace around his neck as well, dubbed with a silver cross, and occasionally has been known to wear a crimson scarf around his neck.

Mentally: Sane
Essence: The Plague or Sickness
Theme Song: Watch me Bleed - Scary Kids Scaring Kids

Other:
* Despite the fact he doesn't like being around people because of the plague, he is a very wise and kind person, so most people that get to know him end up liking him despite the fact he's such a downer

* He has a little pet dragon named Chaos, and this creature is actually his guardian from the life he doesn't remember that he had before this one. Chaos manipulates energy and life, so more often than not the creature can help undo some of the damage Pandemic unwillingly causes

* He has a slight obsession with music--any kind. he really enjoys it despite the fact he usually keeps this a secret.

None yet. :( RP?

If lost please return to Scarlet!

I gave you everything but die with a smile
all you wanted was to live for a while
you took everything but it left you empty
you can't replace me, you can't.
It's almost over and here we are
we're stuck inside this salted earth together.
You'll pierce my lungs
my limbs go numb
as my colors fade out.

You watch me bleed.

Dare you Break the Silence?

Elusiveness says Ahahaha she is not going to keep eating his pets. Just two was enough for her. Besides I was sort of thinking it wasn't fair. I'm going to say that it isn't painful. It's like she stopped the plague halfway. So it affected half of her. Sound fair? Or just a little more?
