====== Symbionts ====== In all likelihood you have heard something about parasites((Yes, I am aware of children.)). Or an infection((Thanks Julia!)). Or you haven't. In which case we are HERE TO INFORM YOU! Yes, yes, calm down. We're getting to it.\\ \\ For those((I thought you said you were getting to it.)) of you planning to participate or those who are interested, here are the rules((okay, more like guidelines)) for participating in this particular plot. If you go too strongly against them, then you'll probably end up yelled at or told not to do that. And that's //out// of character.\\ \\ * **These are demons in name and "history" //only//.**\\ The symbiont in your contestant has NO powers((except for the tentacle thing, but that's more complicated.)). It's just //there//((Not there, //there//)), floating around in your contestant's bloodstream((Or attached to your spinal column.)) and talking to them with their mind((and possibly taking over sometimes, but that's up to you)). No summoning the demon itself, or using the demon's abilities or power AT ALL. This is the first rule for a reason: __if you bring the demon into play beyond their persona inhabiting the contestant's mind, you //will// be dissociated from the plot.__\\ Please and thank you.\\ * **You infect it, you answer for it.**\\ If you infect someone who then goes around being stupid, you will be responsible for cleaning up their mess and making them behave. So pick your infectees carefully. . . * **As always, don't be a dick.**\\ This really ought to be self-explanatory.((Obviously, it means don't become a phallus.))((Or a private investigator.))((What if your name is Richard?))\\ * **Infect with consent only.((Just like in real life))**\\ It's all right if it's OOC consent, but beware the IC rage that will likely result. Don't say we didn't warn you.\\ * **It's a symbiont, not a parasite.**((Wait, now they're //symbionts//? What happened to them being demons?))((At least try to call them that, okay? People REALLY don't like hearing there's a parasite in someone.))((Especially a loved one.))\\ * **Be prepared for others to defend the peace.**\\ This can be anything from other contestants that don't want so-and-so infected to the other symbionts/hosts themselves bugging you about something you did. They have a reputation((What reputation?)) to protect((read: everybody's annoyed with them and they really, really don't want trouble)), after all. * **Please file paperwork!((This one is more optional than the others.))**\\ If you wouldn't mind terribly, it'd be ever so lovely if you could tell someone you're infected, and with whom, so we can add you to the list.\\ ---- ====== Care and Keeping of Your New Wormy Partner ====== There are people who seem to be infected by. . . well, by something. ((If we're gonna get technical, it's a nematode.)) It can take over the mind of its host if it tries very very hard (even then, it doesn't always succeed- the host can resist, after all, seeing as it IS //their// mind((And they're probably already sharing it with seven other people))) but otherwise it's simply there.((But I thought it was //there//.))\\ The infection spreads from tissue-to-blood contact, so it requires some sort of injection or just two open wounds. The symbiont then spreads, infecting the entire circulatory system and, over time, the entire body((Those infected need the occasional supply of uninfected blood as their system becomes unable to produce it properly.))((This usually isn't too big an issue, unless you get blown up a lot.)). It can be removed by shocking the CENSORED out of the infected individual((This also gives the person back the ability to say "fuck" and "shit" and the like.)), but be forewarned, they may not survive it too well. There are other ways, but you'll have to ask around if you want to know about those.\\ They are inhabited by so-called 'demons', and are led by an individual called Lucifer, whom they call 'Father'. For whatever reason, they have decided as a group to at least attempt to coexist peacefully on the island, although they have already encountered problems. . .\\ ---- ====== Infected ====== Vince- A 'patient zero' of sorts; he has control over his symbiont, and it is non-sentient.\\ [[cage_oukami|Cage]]- Valafar.\\ Fish- Jezebeth.\\ Clayton- Remus((Due to certain events, much of the demon's personality was 'burned away', leaving an innocent "Remus" behind.)). Removed? - The souls of Clayton and Remus were moved to a new body.\\ [[dark_knight|Dark Knight]]- unknown. Removed- electric shock\\ Rose((AKA Tulip, Summer, Seasons, etc))- unknown. Removed- electric shock\\ Hamster Ninja((AKA Hank AKA Heather AKA The 'froker!
