TRIGGER WARNING: GRAPHIC. Space/click Slide 1: Left: Infected troop with Troy's Virus Slide 2: Trojan Tentacle Slide 3: Left: Trojan Priest. Right: Trojan Bishop Slide 4: Tentacles flooding out of a Trojan Priest's Mouth Troy's Parasite is a parasitic virus that was created from the mutation and genetic modification of numerous contagions. The parasite is capable of infection through the entrance into the respiratory and circulatory systems. Within a few hours, the host is fully transformed into the image on the left of slide 1. The infection must be activated by a minister of the Church, and then presented upon those who are meant to receive punishment worse than death. Upon repentance, the Punished are forgiven, before their soul is extracted and their unoccupied body is recycled into biomass. Speaking of ministers, Priests and bishops of the Church are Psychically bound to their respective skulls, where they command the Punished into battle. The Punished infect others by approaching the victim and regurgitating their intestines onto the victim, and they force their way into the victim. These Punished masses are deployed onto the battlefield in their tens of thousands and instructed to fight unto death. On the topic of Troy's Virus, it destroys the nervous system's ability to feel pain, so the Punished do not retreat. The respiratory system goes as well, using bodily cells to produce ATP. The circulatory system is eliminated, as nutrients are forced through the body after digestion. The Punished are driven insane by the virus, but their resolve remains true. Pray that the Lord will forgive you once you make the ultimate sacrifice for the Reich.
Wholly by me. Lotta effort went into the skulls, show some support! TLDR Weaknesses: Starvation Fire Destruction of the brain(Good ol' bullets. However, the nervous system is localised more and more as the Trojan ages, making 'brain death' harder, leading to parts of the body living as the head dies.)
