Welcome! Welcome! This is The Darkness Infection! My fourth official Pack of Power au! There will be sign ups soon but this is just an introduction and some lore dumping! Details: When a anti-shadow does something bad it develops a patch of black goop, somehow once this patch began to drip and somebody got it on them, once it gets on you, unless it’s removed immediately and leaves no mark, it will begin to enter your bloodstream and take over your mind, as well as changing your appearance. Phases and details: Uninfected: start - contact, symptoms: has no symptoms, an uninfected character is completely fine and should show no symptoms of any infection Phase 0: contact - 1 week, symptoms: black mark where contact was, for one week you will seem okay it’s very unlikely that your mark will end up being noticed but if it’s noticed a little healing magic can easily stop it from spreading further Phase 1: 1 week - 1.5 weeks, symptoms: blood has turned black, scars coloration severely darkened, this is also very unlikely to be noticed if the character has no wounds or scars at this point it is far too late to fix anything as the infection has entered the bloodstream and is rapidly spreading throughout the body Phase 2: 1.5 weeks - 2 weeks, symptoms: eye color gone black and begins to act strange, if you pay very close attention you will be able to notice this and get them out before they begin to get violent tendencies to others Phase 3: 2 weeks- 2.5 weeks, symptoms: violent tendencies splotch from contact grows bigger, they will attack and even unalive others they still pretty much look like your friends and sound just like them so it’s way too easy to trust them to much Phase 4: 2.5 weeks - 3 weeks, symptoms: gone completely black (white line art, sclera and the nose and mouth are visible in white line art), they still sound just like your friends and fight like them but now they are no longer your friends and shouldn’t be trusted you should run away if you still care for this long gone friend Phase 5: 3 weeks - possiblity, symptoms: distorted voice, your friends voice will become distorted and you need to rid of them immediately as they could end up on 6A 6B or 6XX each deadly Phase 6A: most common path, symptoms: eyes become frightening red, violence tendencies increase, they are the most violent yet and you should run the moment you notice one Phase 6B: neutral commonness path, symptoms: fully black blob and dripping the black goop their speed and violent tendencies are both decreased, keep a safe distance but even touching it will infect you Phase 6XX: least common path, symptoms: d3ath and speed increase, they’ll become a ghost and for about 24 hours and 24 hours only will they be their normal selves then they will become a ghostly 6B infecting other ghosts
