Traits

Plasma flux

Plasma flux (Rare)

Category: Afflictions
Species: Djubetos

This affliction gives the effect of fire or electricity on a djubetos's tail and body. It's caused when a djubetos is exposed to a tremendous amount of energy at once, be this heat, electricity, or something else. The excess energy will pool in the djubetos's tail and tear through the membrane, causing irreversible damage. Over time, this hole will continue to degrade as the djuebtos uses the tail,  causing the inner plasma to leak out, causing a fire or electricity effect in the tail. If the divider between the tail and body becomes damaged, plasma may leak out of body parts as well. 

The end stage of this affliction is complete loss of tail membrane, giving the effect of a fire or smoke tail. 

This condition differs from a tail injury, as most tail injuries will heal over time. Plasma flux is when the amount of energy escaping the tail is so excess that the membrane can no longer heal. 

Djubetos with a severe enough case of this affliction will struggle to survive in open space as their body uses tremendous amounts of energy to keep up with the energy escaping from exposed tail plasma. They will also have difficulty regulating body temperature as raw plasma leaks into their main body from the tail. 

Obtainable via the Photon reactor core item. 

Husk Parasitosis (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions
Species: Djubetos

The djubetos is infected by a parasite known as a Huskworm. This worm kills the djubetos and merges with the heartbrain, which in turn combines its consciousness with the remaining traces of its victim's, creating a new identity. 

Obtainable via huskworm larva item.

Licorice Hexum (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions

High blood sugar results in sugary growths on the body as the immune system tries to expel excess glucose. These growths typically take the shape (and flavor) of various candies and sweets such as hard candy, chocolate, cookies, and even whipped cream or icing. 

These growths can fully envelop and replace body parts without an additional trait such as object tail and object horns, however, they must be combined with object head to fully replace the head. 

While sugary things are the most commonly observed, this affliction can grant a character growths that take the form of any food item.

Obtainable via the glucose medley item. 

Lycoperdontis Mist (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions

Infection of the lycoperdontis puffball mushroom causes clouds of spores to leak from orifices, wounds, or even patches of skin. This behaves like mist or smoke and can be any color. 

This mist cannot replace body parts such as the tail or horns and can only float around the body or leak out. 

Obtainable via the vial pod item.

Cordinanis Spores (Rare)

Category: Afflictions

Consumption of the cordinanis mushroom causes plant and fungal growth to grow across the body. These plants may or may not stray from Earth biology, and may appear inside and outside of the body. 

These growths can fully envelop and replace certain body parts like limbs, tail, or horns. However, they cannot fully replace the head without the addition of the object head trait. 

Obtainable via the odd mushroom item.

Polycephalic Amalgamation (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions

A character is born as a set of fused twins. May include up to two additional appendages (not heads) that do not belong to either twin in addition to a set of appendages that belongs to each twin. 
Obtainable via Breeding Affliction.

Paralarval Countenance (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions
Species: Djubetos

The face never developed, leaving a djubetos with the skeletal face of a paralarva permanently. The face may have bone, or gooey exposed muscle. The tail may be underdeveloped (weak bones) and the skin can be any shade of purple, blue, gray, or a normal human skin tone. Djubetos with this defect tend to be incredibly aggressive.

Obtainable via Breeding Affliction.

Nanite Infection (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions

The infection of a djubetos egg or growing fetus by a nanomachine virus that converts the developing paraleva's flesh to machine. Depending on the time of infection, the hatched djubetos's condition could range from ball joints, to a flesh covered android, to being fully robotic, inside and out. In recent years, a pill has been produced that contains a variant of this virus that is able to convert existing flesh to machine, allowing for grown characters to also acquire this affliction.

Characters with this affliction do NOT need the metallic texture trait to have shiny skin. 
Obtainable via the nanotech pill item. 

DIV (Djubetos Immunodeficiency Virus) (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions
Species: Djubetos

A chronic condition caused by a djubetos-specific virus. This virus is transmittable by blood and runs rampant in the cannibalistic gourmet circles tucked away deep in the heart of Pandora. Djubetos with this disease heal much more slowly than normal djubetos (or not at all) and are often held together by stitches while they wait for wounds to heal. As it's an immunodeficiency disease, victims also tend to become ill more often than a normal djubetos.

There are medications that djubetos can take that speed up healing and lessen the effects of this disease.

The effects vary, some djubetos will still heal and regenerate lost limbs, but at a much slower rate than normal djubetos. For some victims, healing and regeneration come to a near or total halt. 

Obtainable via the Infected Ichor item.

Prionic Infection (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions

It's rabies, guys... it's just rabies,,,

This disease does not kill the host, but causes them to have occasional episodes of delirium and aggression. Eyes may or may not turn a single blank color during flareups. 

Obtainable via Cerebral Fluid item.

Digital Transcendence (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions

A character has fully uploaded themselves, body and mind, to technology. Their body now appears as a hologram and they can "jump" into screens to enter the digital world. They no longer have a physical form and can only fully interact with the real world by "possessing" technology and android avatars. 

Obtainable via Master Computer Keycard item.

Rift horns (Mythical)

Category: Afflictions

The character is born with vesushikain crystals (photons) embedded inside their horns. This allows for them to manipulate qikkain (the radiation from a djubetos's tail) to control the elements with practice. These horns also allow the character to engage in parallel jumping - opening a wormhole and traveling between other dimensions. 

This is a lore bound trait and is not obtainable via ordinary gameplay.

Unstable Actuality (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions

This djubetos's very existence has been corrupted by a fracture in the dimensional wall, causing them to "glitch", with cracks and shimmers of wormhole crossing over their body on occasion, appearing as a glitch effect. 

Frostwork (Mythical)

Category: Afflictions

This condition causes a character to have trouble regulating their body temperature to the point where it's dropped to subzero. This causes the character to form never-melting growths of ice and frost on their body. Their breath may turn frosty, and their body may form an icy shimmer. 

Gravitational turbulence (Mythical)

Category: Afflictions

This affliction occurs when the gravitational field around a character is disrupted. It causes small objects to become trapped in the character's gravitational field and orbit around them. These objects shouldn't be larger than the character's head, but there's no other limit to what they may be, as they are simply things that the character has come close enough to to trap. 

Textile taxidermy (Rare)

Category: Afflictions

After exposure to a type of rot only found in miskept taxidermy, victims of this disease may find that their skin takes on an almost fabric texture, and may even find material similar to stuffing under their skin. This affliction causes a character to have fabric or cloth textured parts of their body, and may cause parts of their body to form stuffing inside and visible stitching, causing those parts to take on the appearance of a plush toy. 

Ocular vicissitude (Rare)

Category: Afflictions

This affliction causes a character's cornea to respond rapidly to changes in stress hormones and endorphins, causing the appearance of the eye to change based on mood. With this affliction, the character may have one "default" eye appearance and up to four alternate appearances that change based on emotion. 
All eye traits that appear must be unlocked and applied properly. 
This is separate from the alter ego trait, and each character form may have its own sets of eyes. 

Noctilucar illusions (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions

Small lights float around the character, giving them a twinkling or "firefly" effect. This is caused by a bacterial infection that causes the character to shed bioluminescent particles. This disease has no known negative symptoms and is actually coveted in some cultures. 

Dullahan disunion (Scarce)

Category: Afflictions

This affliction causes the character's head or limbs to detach from the body and float. They may either float near the location that they grow from, or they may be deliberately left behind somewhere. They can be effortlessly detached and reattached, and the character retains full sensation in them. It is unsure what exactly causes this condition, but it's believed that it may be caused when someone suddenly loses access to a grounding object, place, or person and their body starts separating as a physical representation of their detachment from reality. 

Distemper (Uncommon)

Category: Afflictions

This affliction only affects wourgi and miauvi. It causes the character's head to take a large mammalian feral form under periods of stress. Flareups are also aggravated by the light of a full moon. This disease is caused when the character is cut or pricked by the thorns of the moon blooming witchthistle plant that can be found on the dark side of Muunvitus. The toxins from this plant react to strong moonlight and cause the victim's body to have a unique allergic reaction that causes their form to shift.
