  1. TROLL FEVER “Be careful near that troll corpse lad, dont want to get that Troll Fever.” ____________________________________________________________ Explanation Troll Fever (also known as Brain Rot) is a disease contracted from, as the name suggests, trolls. It is a viral fever that puts the victims state of mind and being to a primal and primitive state akin to the dumb beings known as trolls and their descendants, ologs. Troll fever is contracted via blood and or troll snot and saliva. Signs and Symptoms The length of time to exposure to the virus and the development of symptoms is between a year to five after contact. Symptoms usually begin with a quickly agitated temper and a slur of speech. These symptoms overtime progress to a sensitivity to light, memory loss, agitation of clothing, grunts, hand movements replacing speech, the loss of lliteration and concentration. None of which are set in any chronological order. The individual contracted with Troll Fever falls to an ‘uncultured’ state, where they lose their self being and forget who they are. Their past culture may reflect on their actions but not to any significant or identifying form. This causes a loss of grooming, hygiene and self worth. ____________________________________________________________ Though those contracted with Troll Fever lose much of their past culture, it does not mean that it's impossible to learn a new one. When a group of people with the virus come together, they can perform wonders of primitive art and cultural ideals, commonly worshiping nature or unnatural phenomena such as magic. These experiences are commonly painted or written on stones due to the short memory of those contracted with the troll fever. REDLINES -Troll fever causes the loss of any sexual or romantical need and want. -Troll fever does not improve ones strength -Troll fever can be cured by the transformation to a CA, for e.g tawkins, corcitura -Troll fever causes the loss of complicated knowledge such as advanced MA's and FA's (Alchemy, Voidal Magic, Main Shamanism). -Those with Troll Fever can learn simple MA's and FA's such as Housemagery and Haruspexy -Troll fever requires OOC agreement to be passed on to a character -Not all symptoms mentioned are contracted, this is to allow a freeform character to be made without much restrictions.
  2. Let's start simple; We all know how many cannibals are out there. Onto the main show. ~Why This is Needed~ The reason I wish to implement this disease is simply to counter the recent uproar of cannibalism, while it may not be common in everyday places like Kingston or per say Leumalin, now that I have been around the Dark Elven community for some time, it's become apparent there is a legion of torso chompin Dark Elves, and I will not point a finger at them, but other races too. Surprisingly enough most of it is in Malinor's quieter areas. The Aer disease will make a negative to chomping down on the corpse of your dead friend after he gets shot with a cannon and such. In the real world not many people eat others, besides a tribe in New Guinea, but they all died, a while ago, from disease. This disease, while I want to stay original, slowly shut down all motor control to the point of paralysis, and actually altered the state of mind to incorporate both feelings of depression and laughter. Thus, the number of people desiring to eat others for the sake of being unique will die down, while I encourage being unique, I think we can all agree eating bodies is not the answer, well, unless you're an Orc. Which I will touch upon further, onto the juicy content! ~What A'er is~ A'er is a serious disease that has many negatives, and possibly a few upsides if you're an optimist. Through eating dead bodies your entire life and picking through bone, rotting and fresh, for one your teeth aren't going to be in good shape. A'er has multiple stages, and develops over a long span of time, inflicting a slow and sorrowful, futile death upon the contracted. Of course with our lovely monks it will merely render you an experience to remember. Let us get onto the stages; Stage 1: Incubation The first stage inflicts the person with dizziness, halusinations, and aches/pains, while it is not severe the user can be led to see multiple things, and begin to slip into a state of paranoia, questioning if their friends are really, their friends. This stage usually begins to show after two years of technically contracting the disease itself. This Paranoia is the main aspect of the disease at this point, which is a very minor alteration of the mental process which may cause the contracted to feel as if they're being watched from behind. Common symptoms in relation would be a lot of looking over their shoulders, small pupils, and the twitching of the eyebrows(although rare). Since the Science around this disease is unknown, the effects of potions will have to be tested in the future. The next stage of the disease usually appears within half to a full month after initial symptoms. Stage 2: Isolation Now the contracted will begin to see entire people that are not there, making out odd treestumps for monstrous things, and of course more than that. The dizziness begins to fade as the disease has completely taken the immune systems function, and there is no longer any conflict as the disease develops. Contracted people will begin to isolate themselves from there friends, strangers and some family, but will probably at this point still have someone they'll go to in seek of protection, depending on the person of course. Now the presence of something watching will be more than that, you'll feel as if it's behind you, staring down towards you, thus leads most people to sit in corners, so they can see everything. This is also another symptom. The Contracted at this point is dangerous, and may be led to attack those that impose on them, especially if there is a weapon on them, or even near them. The two major symptoms are Halusinations and Paranoia, but the coughing of blood has been recorded as well. Stage 3: Attachment and Severance In stage three the contracted person begins to get attached to the one they picked out as a trusted person early in the second stage, now seeking them for guidance, answers and assistance, they will now see fighting, just out of at the edge of their vision, and may seek out the person they chose as protection. Anyone else they were acquanted with have become enemies, and the contracted may grow violent simply once they're in sight, whether in halusinations or reality. To counter-act this violence, the contracted also begins to show signs of joint stiffness, muscle aches and cramps, and less motor coordination. They'll seem sluggish, and take time to react, and sometimes just stop running or walking altogether, just staying in one spot, which have been the source of cases where starvation has occurred. Final Stage: Death The Contracted is now nearly immobile, only able to turn their head, move their arms, and eyes, they cough blood repeatedly, have shakes, massive fever, and attempt to lash out at anyone who nears them, they are extremely depressed, aching for suicide, for these alone would not kill. After days of isolation, the contracted kills themselves through means of grabbing objects near them and bashing their own head in, or in harsh cases, strangling themselves or clawing at their chest and tearing through. ~How~ Well, if you're eating people you're already a bit off, and twisted... The disease itself is a mental illness which always ends in the suicide of the user, but to avoid almost certain death there is one element of the illness in which can prevent this, which will be emphasized on after the exceptions of the disease have been covered. The disease can be contracted at different rates depending on which part of the body you eat, the quickest way the cannibal would contract the disease is eating the brain of muscles of the body, which are the highest in the cells which can potentially harbor the A'er disease. Orc Immunity Orcs have never before been recorded of harboring these sicknesses, if they ever have they have grown an immunity to it LONG ago, or have simply been able to fight it off from the start. Troll Immunity Trolls are oddly similar to Orcs in their diets and mannerisms, thus they too have forged a resistance over years of Cannibalism, simply because they are made to do such things, and have a natural combatant for diseases such as this. Kha Immunity Similar to the above two, Kha primarily eat other beings (Elves, Humans, Dwarves, etc), thus they have also developed an immunity to the overwhelming presentation of proteins. Resistant Sub-Races/Special Beings: -Frost Witches. (More to come, request if you believe something should be added) ~Prevention~ As you've read above, there is one person whom the infected will select to be one that they can rely on, if the relied person can actually help the infected, it will drastically reduce the rate of development in the contracted. Other contracted's will also seek help of this person if they effectively witness him/her helping someone as such. There are benefits to this method if one uses it correctly, but rarely occurs. ~Epilogue~ There is absolutely no chance I covered everything, so please, fire up your questions and I'll provide answers and store them in the section below. ~Question Depot~
