Deterioration

About


The Deterioration originally began with the prince. His parents died around the time he was a teenager and he inheirits the Royal Monarcy of Night Cape. It is then that he learns of a lab experiment "gone wrong" that in his case had "gone right." The prince explains that he was told that the Deterioration was dangerous, but believed it was perfect for what he was planning.

The Deterioration seems to have two unique properties about it. Turning the victim into a grayish skinned organism with red veins that protrude from the skin and controlling its mind to do whatever the prince may wish. So far, it is unknown how he does this. Yet the disease is transmitted, killing some and transforming others. It is uncommon for children and elderly to turn into Deteriorations for their bodies are not robust enough to stand the disease and they simply die from it. People ages 15-50 are probably the people most at risk for receiving it.

When the disease was being tested, the prince ordered that there be human trails, yet not in a very humane aspect. He sent spies to every city outside of Dawn City to infect what he believes to be the "scum of the earth." Senior centers, orphanages, and asylums were subjected to this.
