Evil (sychronis parvus)

Introduction
Evil characters are characters that are not simply aggressive or unforgiving, but truly evil, their bodies going through slow transformations and their minds being twisted and altered in the process. What is known as "Evil" is a mutation of the virus sychronis parvus that infects objects and some species of reptiles. Becoming Evil usually happens over a course of time, with notable symptoms that hint to the victim's condition.

Hosts
This particular virus mutation prefers animate objects as it's main host, but will sometimes affect large reptiles as well, most commonly the Black Crown dragon. The virus can be contracted through liquid transfer into the bloodstream, or particles of a particularly infected host becoming embedded into the skin.

Transitioning Stage
Once an object is infected, the virus multiplies rapidly and will begin to take over the body, causing the jumpy, restless victim to experience some or all of the following symptoms:

Symptoms
 * Eyes may wander
 * Object may have trouble focusing
 * Reoccurring headaches
 * Mood swings
 * Aggression and bursts of uncontrollable anger
 * Darkening color as the blood becomes infected
 * A common unexplained phenomenon where a victim is walking or running, then stops dead in their tracks as if some invisible thing was in their way.
 * Object may develop a lust for violence
 * Surges of strength or cunning

The time it takes for a being to become fully infected varies greatly; since the virus strongly affects the mind, an individual with particular willpower may be able to resist for longer or, if they were exposed to only minute amounts of the virus, avoid or destroy it altogether. The virus tends to destroy cells in the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that is responsible for movement and personality characteristics.

Treatment
There is no known cure for sychronis parvus, except for mental health to resist and hold off the infection for longer- sap from the Tree Violet can also help to prolong sanity, but only for a short period of time.

Full Infection
Objects who are fully infected rarely have control over themselves, although some of the objects personality may remain, hidden in the virus. A full infection is the peak of the virus's development, as the object will remain the same in appearance and behavior as long as it's alive.

Symtoms
 * Object's immune system will submit to the virus
 * Eye cells will mutate, causing the pupils to become white, red, or violet and the white of the eye to become dark blue or black.
 * Eyes will become sensitive to light, an are able to see better in the darkness.
 * Retractable fingers slowly grow claws made of dense, layered keratin.
 * Blood will be black when visible.
 * Object may grow slightly larger, but most bones stay the same size, creating a hunch.
 * Teeth fall out and are replaces by fangs, usually beginning with the canine teeth.
 * Vocal cords will distort, making speech raspy or strained.
 * Senses will fine-tune themselves.
