Fungsaken - inf au

heh, fungsaken.. haha.. get it?- okay you have permission to boo me for the bad pun.. anyways I'll stop fooling around. --- so basically, fungsaken is a forsaken infection au I created because I thought it would be fun to combind a fungal infection with something the characters struggle to survive with. --- How it started?: • fungi (mold, mildew, yeast) overgrowing on or in the body, often triggered by warm, moist conditions, poor hygiene, skin injuries, or just eating moldy food. --- How does it spread?: •Contact/Inhalation: Touching fungus or breathing in spores.  - Overgrowth: Fungi multiply rapidly when conditions are right (warmth, moisture) or immunity is low.  - Invasion: They may cause superficial infections (ringworm, athlete's foot) or, in severe cases, systemic illness. --- Stages: - Stage 1: Fevers, nausea, headaches, and tiny bumps on skin. - Stage 2: Rashes appearing on skin, the bumps get worse and more visible, slight loss of appetite, pupils become slightly cloudy. - Stage 3: Aggression, cannibalistic behavior, paranoia, fungus finally sprouts out of skin, small moss-like patterns on skin, vomiting, and rashes when scratched ooze some sort of substance. - Stage 4: The host is entirely gone, there is no way to bring them back. all they are is a mindless beast that holds the fungus and will not hesitate attacking. --- Character stats: Noob - The first infected, stage 3 Elliot - Deceased, mauled and disemboweled by C00lkidd Shedletsky - Healthy, trying desperately to find a cure with Builderman 007n7 - not healthy neither unhealthy, grieving over the loss of his own son Two time - Healthy, but half of his face is stained in blood from killing infected Taph - Deceased, sacrificed herself by blowing up a shelter with infected to save Dusekkar and Chance Veeronica - Healthy, distracting infecteds by taunting them and spraying their face with graffiti spray paint (i didn't have enough room to type all of this, so I'll just type it in the settings)
