Viral

Viral is much more human-like than the other beastmen. He has normal skin, a human face, broad shoulders, and a slender torso. The only things that give away his nature at first glance are his huge dark paws with calloused, rough skin, and long, sharp nails. He has blond hair down to his neck. His bangs cover his right eye, which is completely yellow and has a dark scar around it. His face is angular, his eyes are yellow, and his pupils are small. He has sharp fangs, like a shark's. He wears a tight-fitting maroon jacket, which also hugs Viral's neck. The collar is white wool. He has epaulettes on his broad shoulders. The sleeve ends (hands) also have white fur. His pants are shaped like his legs, maroon. His shins are wrapped in bandages, and his shoes are black Topsiders with maroon toes. His body is covered in numerous scars. The largest is a cross-shaped scar on his chest.

He is very brash and stubborn. He treats people like "monkeys" and doesn't hesitate to insult them. He displays quite a strong contempt for humanity. Viral's most defining trait is a very strong sense of honor. He will not attack a defenseless enemy or use dishonest tactics like hostage-taking. Viral is a proud warrior and loves the thrill of battle. He always goes to the end and never gives up. Thus, even when defeated, he always returns to the battlefield. He is willing to cooperate with people and can encourage them if they deserve it or if Viral deems it necessary/appropriate. He dismisses the desire to have a family as a “sweet dream,” even though he wants, at some point, to find peace, a peaceful life, and a worthy meaning in his life. Viral is a very powerful opponent and ally. Not only is he proficient in close combat, but he is also one of the best Gunmen pilots. Despite his sincere contempt for humanity in general, Viral is capable of respecting a worthy opponent and values ​​military honor over victory. In combat, he never resorts to dirty tricks like hostage-taking (unlike Cytomander) and prefers a fair one-on-one duel. He is quite capable of disobeying a direct order if it conflicts with his principles. He turned to the Spiral King to make him stronger. Lorgenome altered his DNA so that Viral is now virtually immortal: he no longer ages, and even severe penetrating wounds heal instantly. Perhaps after this, echoes of the Spiral power appeared within him. An excellent leader and commander.
