| The site houses a number of viral and parasitic agents which are used to create creatures and B.O.W.s to sell on the market for warfare or tactical operations. There are a variety of rules regarding the agents which covers how infective it is, the effects of infection, how long it incubates, stat changes, and abilities granted by the agent. Each of these is covered in-depth below, but before hand, the template should be presented. - Code:
-
[color=green][b]Name:[/b][/color] (Name of the agent)
[color=green][b]Type:[/b][/color] (Virus or Parasite)
[color=green][b]Infection:[/b][/color] (How it infects an individual, contact, blood, injection, etc., how long does it take, is it lethal, what effects does it cause, etc.)
[color=green][b]~~~Status~~~[/b][/color] (Stat changes caused by the agent)
[color=green][b]Hitpoints:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Strength:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Endurance:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Intellect:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Dexterity:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Speed:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Mutation:[/b][/color] (yes or no, if yes, how many levels and what occurs at each level)
Pretty intimidating template isn't it? Luckily few of you will ever be burdened with having to deal with it because almost all of the viruses and parasites in the Resident Evil Canon are provided here, and only if you want to create a custom agent will you need to use this. Custom agents are very difficult to obtain and have their own section later on at the end of this guide. For now, lets go down the list of information you'll need and the specifics about the template. Of course, it would be best to use an example, so lets use the most iconic virus, the T-Virus (or Tyrant Virus)... Name: Tyrant Virus (T-Virus) Type: Virus Infection: The T-Virus is one of the most basic and versatile viruses that is in use, able to infect through bodily fluids, ingestion, or inhalation of high concentrations of the virus. The virus was originally designed to reanimate the body, though it was a failure as corpses only regained marginally bodily control and grew an insatiable hunger for flesh. This is caused by the viruses need for energy, which is takes from the infected's tissue (causing a decay similar to undead, causing the t-virus infected to be addressed as zombies) if they fail to consume other tissue. The virus removes any feelings of pain, greatly reduces their mental abilities (making them mindless eating machines), and destroys the muscles in the body making them very sluggish and slow. The virus kills those it infects, if they were living, and the reanimates them. Death occurs in 10 posts, reanimation 5 posts after that. The status changes occur upon reanimation, though the virus can only be halted by an antidote within the first 3 posts of infection. ~~~Status~~~Hitpoints: +10 Strength: -3 Endurance: -3 Intellect: -8 Dexterity: -4 Speed: -4 Mutation: Yes, T-Virus infected are able to undergo an involuntary evolution into further levels of infection as the virus spreads throughout the body. If an infected individual is knocked unconscious, without being killed, or if the specimen is left alone for a long enough period of time, the virus will rapidly evolved over three posts as the blood in the body begins to course anew. The skin becomes red and all regenerative properties are lost (-10 HP), but intelligence is heightened (+10 Intellect) as is its strength (+5 Strength), its speed (+5 Speed), its agility (+5 Dexterity), and its physical endurance (+5 Endurance.) This level of creature is known as a Crimson Head for its crimson coloration and incredibly heightened aggressiveness. Should a Crimson Head be left for an extended period of time, then it can undergo further evolution into a Licker, gaining a prehensile and powerful tongue (5 damage, +3 Dex, .5 AP to attack with) along with further increases in strength (+3 Strength) and speed (+3 Speed.) Lickers are assumed to be the final stage of the viruses ability to mutate the human body, but this may not be the case since the discovery of Lickers is fairly recent. --------------------------------------------------- Name~ This part is pretty self-explainatory, its simply the name of the virus, which includes as many names as it is commonly known by. The majority of viral agents come from the T-Virus, and thus have T in their names symbolizing this. This is a very simple part of the template, not much explanation is needed so moving on... Type~ Another simple portion, is it a virus or a parasite? Only a few parasites exist in the canon, all of the variants of the Plagas, so most of the time this section will say virus. The differences bettween a parasite and a virus should be common knowledge so not much is needed to be explained here either... Infection~ Heres our real matter for discussion, the meat of the template, infection. This section normally contains how the agent infects a being, and this can vary from close exposure (radiation) to injection from the easiest to the hardest infectivity type. Blood, fluids, water, air, food, and others are much more common ways of infection. This section also provides information on how the virus works, if known, and how long the virus takes to achieve its effects. A period of time is usually alloted for antidotes as well, since the agents usually progress very quickly and don't permit much time to be reversed. Lethality is also mentioned as many agents can kill, or they are designed to kill and then reanimate. Status: Once the virus reaches a certain stage, detailed in the infection portion, this section provides the primary stat changes that the agent causes. Mutations that occur further on with have their stat changes noted appropriately, and this is fairly easy to grasp as well. The stats are either increased or reduced and then recalculated, not too difficult of a concept to understand... Mutation: Numerous agents are able to cause a mutation to occur in an infected individual that furthers the lifespan of the agent by empowering its host. These are usually involuntary and the mutations typically occur either as a naturally evolution of the virus, or due to a trigger which is mentioned should one exist. Please note that triggers must be activated through legit RP, though with certain skills you can trigger a mutation of your own choice if you possess a virus that has triggered mutations or if you simply wish to quickly advance to the next stage. The skills have more complex rules on the matter. Most mutations must be registered and there is a proper template that must be filled out in order to receive the mutation benefits of a virus or parasite. The template is below: - Code:
-
[b]Origin:[/b] (Which virus or parasite enables this mutation?)
[b]Tier:[/b] (What tier is this mutation?)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (How do you look once mutated? How does this mutation appear?)
[b]Special Abilities:[/b] (Any special powers granted by the mutation?)
[color=green][b]~~~Status~~~[/b][/color] (What stats change when you mutate?)
[color=green][b]Hitpoints:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Strength:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Endurance:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Intellect:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Dexterity:[/b][/color]
[color=green][b]Speed:[/b][/color]
( Note: Please note that infected individuals are typically incapable of using weapons of any sort unless the virus they are infected states that it enables an individual to retain this particular ability and thus be able to do so. ) Other than what is mentioned any special rules regarding an agent are usually explained and clearly defined in the appropriate section of the information about it. Any clarification needed should be provided by the data, but if further questions still arise, feel free to ask a Staff member about it and we'll try our best to clarify.

| Below is a list of the currently active site infective agents. With further site updates, more agents will be added and be available for usage on the site, starting with those agents which are currently Knowledge Skills but are not presently active in order to give value to those skills. Tyrant Virus- Spoiler:
Name: Tyrant Virus (T-Virus)
Type: Virus
Infection: The T-Virus is one of the most basic and versatile viruses that is in use, able to infect through bodily fluids, ingestion, or inhalation of high concentrations of the virus. The virus was originally designed to reanimate the body, though it was a failure as corpses only regained marginally bodily control and grew an insatiable hunger for flesh. This is caused by the viruses need for energy, which is takes from the infected's tissue (causing a decay similar to undead, causing the t-virus infected to be addressed as zombies) if they fail to consume other tissue. The virus removes any feelings of pain, greatly reduces their mental abilities (making them mindless eating machines), and destroys the muscles in the body making them very sluggish and slow. The virus kills those it infects, if they were living, and the reanimates them. Death occurs in 10 posts, reanimation 5 posts after that. The status changes occur upon reanimation, though the virus can only be halted by an antidote within the first 3 posts of infection.
~~~Status~~~
Hitpoints: +10
Strength: -3
Endurance: -3
Intellect: -8
Dexterity: -4
Speed: -4
Mutation: Yes, T-Virus infected are able to undergo an involuntary evolution into further levels of infection as the virus spreads throughout the body. If an infected individual is knocked unconscious, without being killed, or if the specimen is left alone for a long enough period of time, the virus will rapidly evolved over three posts as the blood in the body begins to course anew. The skin becomes red and all regenerative properties are lost (-10 HP), but intelligence is heightened (+10 Intellect) as is its strength (+5 Strength), its speed (+5 Speed), its agility (+5 Dexterity), and its physical endurance (+5 Endurance.) This level of creature is known as a Crimson Head for its crimson coloration and incredibly heightened aggressiveness.
Should a Crimson Head be left for an extended period of time, then it can undergo further evolution into a Licker, gaining a prehensile and powerful tongue (5 damage, +3 Dex, .5 AP to attack with) along with further increases in strength (+3 Strength) and speed (+3 Speed.) Lickers are assumed to be the final stage of the viruses ability to mutate the human body, but this may not be the case since the discovery of Lickers is fairly recent.
G-Virus- Spoiler:
Name: G-Virus
Type: Virus
Infection: An effectively advanced version of the infamous T-Virus, the G-Virus acts in a similar fashion but is much more powerful than its original form. The G-Virus takes a hold of a victim only through direct injection from either a vial or from a currently infected individual. This virus, unlike many others, is incredibly specific and cannot be transferred from body to body unless the infected individual and the target are related by blood, since the virus relies on similar DNA. Direct injection of the virus does not need such a thing. The virus reduces the intellect to an animalistic level and causes the development of an overlaying personality that takes over the previous one. This new personality is difficult to resist but a break through can occur for a post if significant mental trauma or memories are brought to their awareness. The barbaric personality will quickly regain control however and continue the murderous rampage it fully intends.
The G-Virus takes 10 posts to take hold, and cannot be halted by an antidote through direct injection, though it can be through infection from a present host but must be done within the first three posts of infection. The G-Virus immediately knits any wounds, regenerates organs, and otherwise heals the body if injected, causing a full recovery of AP, HP, and all stats the post after infection. HP is regenerated at 5 HP per post so long as the virus remains in the body as wounds repair themselves due to the viruses intervention.
~~~Status~~~ (Stat changes caused by the agent)
Hitpoints: +15
Strength: -3
Endurance: -3
Intellect: -5
Dexterity: -5
Speed: -5
Mutation: Yes, the G-Virus is infamous for its mutations, and it actually has been assumed to never cease mutating the body it inhabits. Each level of G-Virus mutation is specific to the person it infects, thus the mutations are determined by the host and cannot be determined through the virus itself. All G-Virus mutations, however, have a large third eye which houses the overlaying personality. Any target that it sees it seeks to destroy or seeks to infect to continue its species, even if the personality of the host resists, the body moves regardless of the will. Up to four mutations may be induced with the G-Virus making it ideal for mutation purposes.
Mutation is triggered by damage to the body, when more than 25 total HP has been recovered by the virus's recovery ability, then mutation occurs and the body is instantly healed back to maximum HP or to its new total. This will continue to occur until the body is completely destroyed or no further mutations are possible.
tG-Virus- Spoiler:
Name: tG-Virus
Type: Virus
Infection: An experimentation with both the T and G viruses lead to the development of this virus which combines both of them into an incredibly powerful viral agent. The virus does not display any infective abilities, nor is able to pass from host to host, only being able to infect through direct injection. The virus is not lethal, and does not harm the body functions as many other viruses and its two parent viruses do especially, rather it increases almost all bodily functions and even goes so far as to generate an electro-magnetic field of energy around its host, deflecting bullets of all types and preventing metal from getting anywhere near the host. Infection also enables the usage of electrical attacks while in a mutated form.
~~~Status~~~
Hitpoints: +5
Strength: +3
Endurance: +2
Intellect: +1
Dexterity: +3
Speed: +3
Mutation: Yes, the tG-Virus enables access to mutated forms similar to the G-Virus, except that the virus is highly unstable about its regenerative properties. Mutating with less than half HP will cause the viral mutations to 'overload' and mutate too much, causing the body to literally explode. Mutation is triggered by damage above 25, mutation recovers all damage and heals to the new HP amount provided by the mutation form.
Plagas- Spoiler:
Name: Plagas
Type: Parasite
Infection: Plagas are a form of parasite that must be directly injected into the body that attaches itself to the nervous system and then gains control over it, enabling someone with a control plaga to command an infected individual. The plagas do not impair thinking or reasoning ability as is common with the T-Virus and its various offspring, and offers a great deal of resistance to pain and firearms. The plagas is thus considered superior to most viruses, but due to its inability to travel from person to person, it is also much more controlled. Plagas, once injected, take 25 posts to establish themselves, and once this is done, only treatment through special machinery can treat it. It can be removed from the body easily within the first five posts.
If damaged by 15 or more with a single shot, the body can be forced to reveal an external plaga of various types which, while it kills the host, is highly undesirable since the plaga is a threat on its own and often more of a threat then the originally infected was.
~~~Status~~~
Hitpoints: +10
Strength: +3
Endurance: +5
Intellect: +1
Dexterity: +1
Speed: +1
Mutation: No, the plagas does not allow any direct mutation.
Control Plagas- Spoiler:
Name: Control Plagas
Type: Parasite
Infection: The control plagas is the same as a normal plagas, but it enables control over all those infested with the plagas and unlike its inferior brethern it can induce a mutation in its host and grant them immense power. Plagas, once injected, take 25 posts to establish themselves, and once this is done, only treatment through special machinery can treat it. It can be removed from the body easily within the first five posts.
~~~Status~~~
Hitpoints: +25
Strength: +10
Endurance: +10
Intellect: +1
Dexterity: +5
Speed: +5
Mutation: Yes, mutation is triggered at will and must be individually created.
