Description I don't feel like writing... IT'S FREAKING 1 AM!

OK now I do:


Macro Viruses are complex creatures, because they can do something extraordinary, that is, they can translate thoughts (or neural data) into DNA (genetic data).Although they come into many forms, what they really are, is the viral brain (or soul) the viral brain consists of a neural part in the front and a genetic part in the back. The neural cells coming out of the front brain have some ends in every "branch" of the Genetic part. In these ends, there are “translator” cells, which translate the neural information into DNA. The DNA is then packed into a membrane, forming a structure like a virus. These structures are carried by the carrier cells, which are pumped into the blood and find the proper tissue to give the information (by chemical signals). The carrier cells can also travel in the air, making it possible for Macro-Viruses to share their data (although they don’t usually do it).The soul also has a tail that can help it move through liquids,

although the soul can’t live long out of a body. It also has a big eye, that can see a long spectrum of colors (but not simultaneously) within a wide range of intensities, and also with a high definition. These unusually strong eyes are a result of the macro-viruses’ interference in their own evolution. These eyes hide under the virus’ skin, but they still work. They rarely show their eyes.
Although their ability to make genetic data, and manipulate their own biology is a very great one, it is not without cost. First of all, this ability limits the way they think, in other words, they think in a way that their thoughts, when concerned with their own biology, can be turned into genetic data. They also can’t change their biology very widely in their first stages of their life. In the first hundred years of their life, they can only heal their wounds fast, and make their muscles stronger. This is because in this stage, they are mostly busy making their daughter brains (3) and their survival, because they are very mortal and vulnerable in this stage (Macro-Viruses are territorial Species, they fight for territories, the young (less than hundred year old) Viruses are used as soldiers and thus most of them don’t make it to the second stage) in their next stage of life they start to develop their “genetic knowledge”, which makes them stronger and stronger, until they’re about 300 years old, in this stage, they can be very strong and make their biology however they want. Most viruses won’t make it to this age, but if they do, they’ll be… catastrophic. After this age they’ll continue to develop their abilities, but because of the violent wars between the Viruses, even the very strong ones, won’t live longer than 600 years.

Viruses also have a different metabolism than other normal species. They get most of their energy from light, and they eat only once a season, and what they eat is usually instructed by their master, because there’s a tricky way to get genetic knowledge, and that is by eating an animal. But as a consequence of not eating much, they have to absorb a lot of sunlight, to get enough energy, not only to move, but to make the matter in their body stay in it, and cycle in it so that they won’t need to eat. They spend one week in every year, only absorbing sunlight. Viruses don’t age, in other words, their biology doesn’t affect their mortality, but their violent nature does. They are “biologically immortal” but they will eventually die.

Viruses also have a tricky way to metabolize, that is, they hunt forests. They go deep in the ground and link their bodies to tree roots, and get their energy through them. But doing this, they become immobile; it is an advanced kind of hibernation. During the time they hunt a forest, they also link their bodies and minds to each other, sharing their thoughts, and after their hibernation they become very harmonious, an very unpredictable, and thus, STRONG as a group.
Well, there are a lot of other cool things that viruses can do, but that’s enough for now!

Interesting creature (and interesting description too). You definitely have a gift for thinking outside of the box. Not only is the design completely unique, but making a design for virus is not that common to see. You also did a good job choosing your colors, and I like the featheriness of the tail.

Good luck finding that kind of time. I can usually write fairly well, but I am extremely slow at doing it. It almost makes my artwork speed look like lightning.

I would guess that you have a LOT of stories in your head! It's only the gifted ones like yourself that are able to get those stories out of their heads and put them down on paper! I have to tell you, I always, ALWAYS look forward to your next project! To me, it's like waiting for the next great movie to come out! It's like an invitation into your artistic head, something that I look forward to with great anticipation!
