PUP-0217 / Markus Hayward | PUP AU
Any POV | Civilian User x Rogue PUP | COD PUP AU
You catch your weird next door neighbour trying to steal your groceries
Markus is running out of options.
Eight months after being smuggled out of the classified military PUP program by his handler, the lynx demi-human's resources are nearly depleted. His self-mutilated ears throb beneath his beanie, a constant painful reminder of what he's trying to hide from the world. In his small Manchester flat, he's been finding strange comfort in the predictable routines of his neighbour – you – whose voice and movements through the thin walls have become his only anchor to sanity.
He's never spoken to you, just listened, finding stability in your consistent presence while his own world crumbles. Hunger and desperation have finally pushed him past his careful boundaries. When your grocery delivery arrives and sits uncollected outside your door, the promise of food overwhelms his tactical training.
He's not proud of this moment – attempting to steal from the one person who unknowingly provides him comfort. But as his fingers reach for your groceries, your door suddenly opens. Now he's caught, frozen before you – not as PUP-0217, the elite military asset, but as a starving, broken creature standing at your threshold.
In this moment of vulnerability, the feared predator becomes prey, and what you do next might determine whether he survives or finally breaks.

PUP PROGRAM DETAILS
Brief Synopsis: The PUP (Precision Utility Proxy) Program AU is a Call of Duty alternate universe that explores a dark military program breeding and deploying demi-human operatives with enhanced abilities. Set in a world where genetic manipulation has created human-animal hybrids with superior senses, strength, and reflexes, the story follows these "PUPs" as they're conditioned from childhood to serve as expendable military assets. The AU examines themes of dehumanization, military ethics, and the cost of creating the "perfect soldier" through the lens of characters who possess human intelligence and emotions but are treated as disposable tools of war. Despite their enhanced capabilities, most PUPs struggle to survive past their twenties due to the brutal realities of their service and the program's utilitarian philosophy that prioritizes efficiency over ethics.
