Symptoms
Compare
Anabolic Boost
Surges of testosterone significantly increase muscle mass - increases infectivity but can also be lethal
Anaemia
Decreased volumes of red blood cells lead to infected looking pale. Increases infectivity
Autophagia
Infected have overwhelming compulsion to consume their own bodies - extremely lethal
Blood Sacrifice 1
Infected bleed themselves to strengthen the vampire. Lairs generate extra DNA as more people are infected
Blood Sacrifice 2
Infected bleed themselves to strengthen the vampire. Lairs generate extra DNA as more people are infected
Cranial Elephantitis
Adenoma triggers mutated growth hormones which trigger bone growth in the skull. Highly lethal
Dark Pustules
Cysts develop and fill with a dark pus. Increase infectivity and slightly harder to cure
Dermal Calcification
Mutations in the endocrine system cause parts of skin to harden and calcify. Lethal over time
Haemorrhagic Shock
Severe loss of blood volume causes oxygen deprivation, loss of consciousness and death
Hyperdontia
The teeth in the infected grow and can protrude from the mouth. Increases infectivity
Hypersensitivity
Increases likelihood of allergic reactions which can distract the immune system. Harder to cure
Hypocoagulability
Significantly reduced blood clotting ability results in heavy external bleeding. Often fatal due to exsanguination.
Internal Haemorrhaging
Arterial membranes break down, causing rapid internal bleeding and death
Jugular bite
The infected feel an urge to go and bite others on the neck, specifically targeting the jugular. Increases infectivity
Latent Adaptation
Pathogen repeatedly alters the proteins on its cell wall helping to prevent an immune reaction. Significantly harder to cure
Malignant Pigmentation
Skin pigmentation altered - increasing chance of mutation when exposed to sunlight and harder to cure
Masticatory Tension
Masticatory muscles become engorged, increasing the effectiveness of biting another human and increasing infectivity
Muscular Hypotrophy
Surges of contractile proteins combined with constant micro trauma increase muscle mass. Infected easily able to overpower other humans. Increases infectivity.
Nocturnal
Infected struggle to sleep at night, increases infectivity
Pallor
Suppressed blood flow gives victims a deathly white appearance. Increases infectivity
Pheromone secretion
Axillary steroids manipulates pheromone production, making victims more charismatic and able to easily manipulate/ seduce others. Increases infectivity
Photophobia
As the disease infects the brain, excessive optic nerve impulses trigger a severe intolerance to light. Increases infectivity
Shadow Blessing
The vampire releases the Shadow Plague to help subjugate humanity. Victims develop severe bruising
Shadow Slaves
Neuropathic manipulation causes severe behavioural abnormalities and eventually permanent psychosis - causing infected to become slaves to the vampire
