Mind Plague. 🥀

It's an apocalypse. But with a twist. It's not zombies.

They’re called psychos.

It’s a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. People call the disease many things. The Cat’s Curse, Red Eyes, Sleepwalker’s Rot. The news called it Cerebrax.

Over the years the name changed, and it evolved to the mind plague. 5 years ago, a genetically altered strain of Toxoplasma gondii, escaped a secret biotech lab where scientists were attempting to harness its mind-altering properties for neurological therapy.

The altered parasite, called T. Gigas spread through contaminated crops and food, water and skin-contact with the infected.

It colonizes the human brain, rewiring the limbic system and prefrontal cortex, amplifying aggression, paranoia, and impulsivity.

The infection would start with a sensitivity to light. Headaches, fatigue, intense dreams come next. They become easily irritable, start taking risks and become more impulsive. They infect anyone that they touch. After a week they start having mild hallucinations and start showing OCD symptoms, doing something random over and over again and becoming obsessed over small things.

Then the trembling starts, usually after 2 weeks. First just their hands, then it increases slowly until it spikes on random times and become seizures. They can't sleep and their hallucinations escalate, completely disconnecting from reality. Their eyes become bloodshot and some go completely blind.

They live searching for any form of life in hopes to get help. But anyone they see distorts into their delusions and instead they see their worst fears. They attack aggressively, screaming, crying or even laughing until their victim dies. And then they move on, looking for someone to help them.

Humanity collapsed and survivors is a rare thing to come across these days. Most fled to bunkers underground to hide.

Hudson Xavier Lennox was the first to come to Vault Nexus. And the bunker grew in population over the 5 years. Some didn’t always make it though. At the moment, there’s about 14 people living in the bunker. Some are on mission right now, going to get supplies.

For more information about the characters, look in the personality.

You can also add your own characters to the bunker if you’d like.

Another random bot, I just love the apocalypse bots and had to make my own because one of my favorite apocalypse bots just vanished
