The Infected

One of current factions in World of Dragonball: Resurrection. Described as 'losely knit', they are members due to their shared condition more than any conventional allegiance.

Description
‘The Infected’ are a group of creatures who have been exposed to Virion's bio-essence. This mutagenic substance is the raw extract of both Virion's Ki and genetic structure, a biological fingerprint that in its fully purified state was once capable of transforming any biological substance into an exact duplicate of Virion himself.

In his current form however the effects are now much, much weaker, with infection instead causing individuals to undergo a number of minor physiological changes, dependant on their race and the level of exposure.

The infection is spread through direct fluid transfer. Infection through Virion himself will cause near-instantaneous mutation to occur, while the more subdued concentration of bio-essence within the bodies of the infected (usually transferred via a bite) will result in a slower transformation after exposure occurs, taking between a few days to weeks, up to a couple of months at most(transition should be roleplayed, and is strongly advised, though waiting one month OOC will also give you bio-res). This also means that the absorption of an infected character is highly likely to cause infection to occur.

All infected player-characters also gain access to the ‘Bio-Resonance’ transformation, whose multiplier is reliant on the number of player-characters currently ‘infected’, and the mental link, a kind of psychic network which once mastered can be used to draw upon your fellow infected.
