TheFourRiders

This character brought into being through A_Divine_Disaster.

The apocalypse has already happened. Didn't you know? No, you didn't. Because, at the last moment, it was called off..... And four Riders, tired of their jobs, and weary with the world.... Were kicked to the curb, back into the world to continue being what they are....



Living in a battered mobile home, the four travel together now, having found an odd sort of friendship after the failed apocalypse.


Famine, "Huarwar":

Famine was the first of the Riders to get tired of the work he was made to do.... And boy, did he get tired of it. There hasn't been an inexplicable crop failure, or sudden rotting of stored food, within recent history..... Famine is always hungry. A deep, burning, starving hunger, that no amount of food can sate. He *hates* it. Famine takes the form of a tall, very skinny polar bear morph, who wears a biker jacket and leather pants, and rides around on a black motorcycle.


Pestilence, "Dr. Lance", "Pessi":

Pestilence grew weary of her work shortly after Famine grew tired of his own... And so, she gave up on causing outbreaks and plagues of horrible illnesses.... And became a licensed physician. Using her extensive knowledge of viruses and bacteria, Pestilence has been saving a surprising amount of lives.

Pestilence takes the form of a frail and short kinkajou woman, with a perpetual cough.... Occasionally yielding blood. She swears it's not contagious, just a 'birth defect', to concerned patients.



War, "Agro":

War had always loved his job, causing mayhem and destruction wherever he pleases, but... Modern warfare has made him sick. War was always something personal, a bloody fight for your life, against your opponents.... With the invention of guns, laser guided missiles, sniper rifles.... The battles have sickened him more and more. Now, he does work occasionally as a bodyguard, a lean, fit, and toned tiger..... Dangerous, strong. He's able to inspire a deep, flaming rage in anyone that takes days to cool, incite violence in the most pacifistic of people, but he hasn't in a long time....




Death, "D":

Death is.... Odd, in comparison to the others. He's always been like he is now, peaceful, friendly, mild-mannered.... It is his job to bring lives to a close, a peaceful end, that is what he desires for all, a relaxed ending to their story.... But violent deaths, starvation, children starving to death..... The albino mouse can't bear to take the lives of truly good people, anymore, not when they die unjustly..... He wears a button up shirt of some variety, and a pair of slacks, at all times, as well as a pair of glasses that become sunglasses in the light. He is the only one of the four with a steady job, telecommuting on a laptop he keeps in their mobile home, bringing in a large amount of money..... He happily supports the other Riders, the only friends he's ever really known.

!!! Update !!!

Someone lost to the riders for a long time has shown her face again..... Conquest, who had forgotten about the other riders, for a long time, has been approached by Death, and decided to run her corporation out of the mobile home that Death owns. Going by Connie, Conquest is a rather dominant dragon anthro, usually dressed very formally, but in a suit rather than a dress. She wears a pair of spectacles, and is out to own everything! Her corporation, CON-Quest incorporated, owns 70% of media outlets, and 80% of big brands of almost.... Everything. Why has she left her mansion to come stay in a mobile home with the others? Because the riders care about each other. :3


Vorish information:

Famine is the most likely to engage in an act of predation, out of the four riders.... War may dabble on occasion! Anyone eaten by the two can be guaranteed a break by Death, and any of the riders who are eaten will also be spared. Being friends with Death has its benefits, after all....
