list of endoparasitic au’s

florist/tattooist(/baker? idk). could be cynluce, cynvi or ot3. cynte as a florist could be fun, but would be hard to pull off. possibly a way to worldbuild the endoparasitic world not in the lab. praví could be the baker, cynte the tattooist and luce the florist.

endoparasitic venom au. luce with a symbiote could be fun. chances are she would hide them so she wouldn’t become like that test subject (described as “suddenly godlike”) or she would use them to release all the parasites. praví with a symbiote could also be good, kind of the same situation as luce without the parasite releasing. perhaps the symbiote could help with the vaccine. cynte with a symbiote would possibly just be cletus kasady tho.

this would just be a fix-it technically, but cynte letting praví tag along instead of getting eaten by monsters because he needs vaccines and possibly prosthetics. cynvi potential and maybe some fluff? closest thing to fluff u can get in that lab.

I stayed up too late working on this, but I recently played endoparasitic and couldn’t stop myself from drawing how I envisioned cynte lol

alias/name: jk zodiac sign: taurus ( & dog in the chinese zodiac ) height: grateful for the new era of short kings . . . hobbies: drawing, writing, organizing, ttrpgs & dnd content, hyper-fixating, hiking, eating out, etc. etc. favorite color: green current book: just finished listening to an abridged audiobook of east of eden by john steinbeck !! last song: apparently it was "landline" by arlie last film/show: catching up to d20's latest season ( otherwise, last movie was '71 ) inspiration: emerald fen.nell's sal.tburn of course, alongside barry k.eoghan's acting choices !! but outside of that, thought about cassius from shakespeare's julius caesar, endoparasites, the nature of obsession & consumption, the faint grey line between disgust & desire, aaaand plenty of private conversations with my beloved @felixferitas !! story behind url: pretty plain and clear, ollie is a pretender -- specifically when it comes to people he wants to impress and/or wants attention from. we know he lies to two groups of people in the movie: the cattons, and his own parents. and i personally believe he lies to them because he has a wariness & discomfort in who he is as a person ( i imagine he'd seen disinterest in their eyes whenever he attempted sincerity, or assumed it to be disinterest and thus decides to mask heavily ). and additionally, appears to be as egotistical as he is full of self-hatred -- and i am nothing if not a fan of complicated hypocritical characters so ruined by love & attachment & the potential of belonging, that they destroy all things in their path !!

tagged by the kind: @petitsdieutagging: whoever's interested !! wary that ooc information is not always the most fun to tackle so assume i tagged you if you feel like filling this in :-)

Hey could you maybe draw what you think Praví looks like? We’ve seen a little bit of him in the cynvi post but I’m curious as to how you imagine him. (Me personally he looks different every time I try to picture him😭)

Ask and ye shall receive 👀 Im always down to draw Endoparasitic stuff

[fromthehouseofgerber]

Give me your greatest Endoparasitic headcanons.

I’m hungry 

[spikyshores]

"praví survives" content :D stuck together in da extremely contagious parasite quarantine ward. they're both infected because the parasites venting sussily through the oxygen system probably reached praví too

inspired by this post by @doomvxga but i took a silly post-escaping-the-lab approach

[papercr4ne]

he just like me fr

i have a history project due soon i cant be procrastinating like this :')

Zombies The Infected

*credit for this amalgamation result of Pathogen The Infected and Zombie The Coil is listed under general credits but I wanted to mention it again out of respect since they are both wonderful fanmade creations*

*also FYI none of this has been play or beta tested and is mostly cobbled together from the inspirations and so sources listed above, uh, just so you know...*

Zombies, exist within the World of Midnight in a variety of forms, such as the Giovanni's or a Matter/Death Awakened Mage's raised corpses will attest. But such entities are little more than animated meat puppets.

The Infected, as these more sentient Zombies prefer to call themselves, are a different breed entirely. They are as much akin to the raised corpses of those other group's as the Kindred are to the vampires of Hollywood. Which is to say, inspired from and by, but different none the less.

These Infected must grapple with themes of body horror and gore, disease and chronic illness management, and the struggle of how far they are willing to go to survive.

Below is the details of the Infected;

The Pathogen is believed to be the source of the Infected in much the same way as Caine and Gaia are for the Kindred and Garou, with just as many mysteries surrounding its Origins and the reasons it reacts to its victims as they do. It is the source of a Zombie's Hunger and power in much the same way that the Beast does for Kindred.

The Infection provides a unique power source (like Vitae/Blood for Kindred, Rage and Gnosis for the Changing Breeds, etc.) called Viscera. When it runs low, the Infected begins to experience symptoms of their Hunger as an Outbreak (a little like a frenzy). Viscera is regained in one of two ways; Gore and Devour. Gore is the consumption of living organic material, risking Mortality and reducing Hunger by boosting the amount of energy gained from body part consumption. Devour is the consumption of dead organic material, safely avoiding the risk of Mortality loss but not fully easing the Hunger as it reduces the energy gained from body part consumption (but never below one point).

Different body parts provide different amounts of energy; Brains are the most satiating, then come the Liver and other Organs, and, lastly, bones and blood provide the least amount of Viscera.

Outbreaks are very similar to the Frenzies experienced by Kindred and Garou. They are a state of intense emotion and Hunger that the Pathogen overwhelms its host and begins to change and mutate. While the state will often pass and few ever recall events during such a state, there is some small relief and mildbconcern over the fact that the changes the Pathogen creates in the body during an Outbreak are reversed when it is over. During an Outbreak, the Zombie exits what has now been called the Carrier Stage (the Pathogen is passive and non-contagious while the host experiences chronic but minor Symptoms) and enters the Acute Stage (the Pathogen is more active due to Hunger and Fear, one's Symptoms become more severe and contagious to victims, the Symptoms one experiences will have a direct influence on the potential Vectors of the individuals exposed).

The Infection does not always result in Zombies, it should be noted. Infected is a general term for those organisms under or directly linked to the Pathogen's influence. Maglinants-or Mals as they are commonly called-are those who have been Infected but remain mindless, guided solely by the Pathogen's raw instincts to consume and wander. Symbiotes are Infected plants and animals. Wights are a ghoul-like Infected human who has been exposed to Viscera in some way, but have not been Incubated properly into Malignants. Liches are cannibalistic Zombies who hunt humans as if they were prey (a trait similar to some True Fae Keepers with their Changelings), and are one of the many antagonists for the Infected to deal with. There are also the various human-ran organizations that are after them for their own gains and reasons.

The process of becoming an Infected is two parts; Incubation and Latency. Incubation is when the individual has succumbed to the Pathogen's influence and become a Mal. Latency is when they regain their sentience after their First Meal of organic material and the resulting Viscera.

The Buried Gored their First Meal while fhe Reposed Devoured theirs.

Mals, Zombies, and many other Infected tend to travel in groups called Hordes.

There is a minor Delirium-like effect on humans called the Haze that appears when Infected are at low (3 points and less) Viscera and lifts if they rise above it. Any supernatural effect that not be be explained away/rationalized will simply be ignored unless the individual is actively harmed. However, that will only extend a cettain amount as trying to consume someone in a crowd versus doing so in a back alley will naturally draw far far too much attention for even the Haze to cover up. Liches are the only ones immune to the Haze's protective effects on mortal perceptions of Infected despite their more monstrous corpse-like appearances.

Vectors determines how one was infected by the Pathogen and thus the type of Zombie the character is. Meanwhile, Symptoms are the way the Infection manifests within the individual. Antibodies are unique weaknesses of the Vectors. As a whole, the Infected appear to be weakened by both the usual methods of destruction (Fire and Decapitation) as well as concentrated forms of CT's or Calcium Tablets (Things like Marble, Limestone, Chalk, Pearls, and the like).

The Vectors are; Airborne (vapors and contaminated air), Bitten (Animal, insect, humans), Endoparasite (Fungi, molds, and parasites), Infused (Bloodstream or organ transplants), and Tetrogen (those unborn exposed in-utero or through the birthing and breastfeeding processes).

The Symptoms are; Dermis (Rashes, hives, and inflamed swelling), Fever (fever, muscle aches, chills and sweats), Respiratory (Coughing and congestion), Gastroenditis (Vomitting, diarrhea, bloating, gas), and Insomnia (Fatigue, night terrors, hallucinations, insonmia).

The Antibodies are; Silver for the Bitten, Jade for the Infused, Sunlight for the Unborn, Salt for the Endoparasite, and Water for the Airborne.

Mortality is the measure of a Zombie's Humanity versus how much they have been consumed by the Pathogen's influence.

Strains are the Discipline and Gift equivalent of Zombies, the types of supernatural powers they have access to. Every Zombie will start with access to three Strains upon character creation; one determined by the Vector, one determined by the Symptom, and one of the player's own choice.

The Strains are summarized below;

Seance is a series of powers that affect the minds and perceptions of its victims. It also providing access to the Horde Mentality, a Hive Mind connecting the users much like the Malkavians in their Networks while also providing access to Whispers, an odd and disjointed collection of memory fragments from one's past life as well as the mass Hunger and trauma experienced by many Infected as they struggle for dominance against the Pathogen.

Mutations requires the merging of one's very flesh to whatever one wishes to manipulate and control in the world around them. It does not work on living or dead things, but things that were never alive are fine, such as tech.

Disencarnate allows for the change of movement between various creatures and places and things, as well as enhancing the senses of its user.

Convalescence and Necrosis are two sides of the same coin in that they are reverse powers of each other. Convalescence is the set of powers tied to regeneration and growth and purification while Necrosis is tied to plague and rot and corruption.

Vivification and Necromancy are also mirrors of each other in that manner. Vivification allows for control over the bodies of the living (Garou, Mages, animals, etc.) while Necromancy allows for the same over the dead (Vampires, Mummies, corpses, etc.). Neither allow the ability to change oneself in any way.

Pathogenesis is the term for disease development and thusvis quite fitting for the set of powers tied to changing one's own body through mutations and modifications, such as acidic bile or poisonous gas and sharpened tongue blades. It cannot be used to affect someone else's body.

Cessation allows for the suppression and manipulation of one's Hunger. At higher levels, it also allows for the direct conversion of other energy forms into Viscera and vice versa.

Extinction is very simple as it allows use of the classical elements, often for self-burial and extinguishment.

Vigor is the set of powers linked to increasing one's strength, endurance, and, eventually at higher levels, speed.

Wheel of Life allows interaction with Wraiths and Spirits across the Gauntlet, eventually growing to allow Possession of others and the ability to Astral Project oneself, as well

Resuscitation is the set of powers tied to being able to blend in with humans and the envoirment. This is also extended to other fleshy-based disguises and mimicry.
