Rekks were discovered by the deceased Dr. Bjornsten, one of the few remaining human specimens to survive the natural apocalypse. Barriers between continents were shattered and the man-made chemical plants destroyed and mutated thousands of surrounding biomes. Hyenas, birds, and wolves fused together to make a monstrosity in one of many 'species melts'. Radioactive material from beneath the Earth's crust sped up the process of evolution, new changes being made every other generation. An external rib cage was one result of the evolutions Rekks endured, all of the bones inside and outside a Rekk became incredibly strong and nearly unbreakable.
They are intelligent creatures. As far as canid intelligence goes. Empathy and anger is apparent, the species staying in 'packs' and caring for the young like an animal pack of the past would have done. Although they have minor characteristics of today's animals that is all they share. Cannibalism is not rare to rival packs if food is rare. They have no gender. Every Rekk can breed with any of their choosing as every creature is equipped with the same reproductive organs.

Name: Karma
Rarity: Uncommon
Where does the scars originate from? (max one paragraph): Karma had roamed for years as a loner, after defecting and shaming it's home pack. Karma had learned to stalk the night, to live in the shadows, and to trying to keep a low profile. However, it's preference for secrecy, and little talent for stealth, had been both a blessing a curse. On several occasions Karma had slipped into enemy territory, and was taught the a harsh lesson in R.E.K.K life. It didn't happen often, but the tides did occasionally turn on the young hunter. The first time Karma been hunted was shortly after defecting from it's pack. Food was scarce and Karma's father had led the hunt, Karma was no longer considered kin and had severed all ties between them. Karmas tan backed sibling had been the one who had raked Karma across the flank, and Karma had scarred one of it's eyes as it charged through the thick branches and dense vegetation to escape the small pack. Karma had survived the incident, but had migrated far from the place off it's birth.
