Infected

The infected is the term used to refer to humans who serve as carriers of a highly dangerous and unknown supernatural disease known only as the Infection.

Overview
The Infection thrives in places of occult significance, usually residing on strange artifacts or in places spiritually tainted by only the worst actions committed by human beings. Following transmission from either one of these two spawning places for the Infection, the infected gain numerous supernatural abilities and begin to proceed through the numerous stages - each getting progressively worse and more aggressive than the last.

The infected will begin to appear more obviously infected to others as the Infection worsens, beginning as various blemishes and discolorations in the skin before growing into organic and inorganic growths and unearthly markings, until the infected no longer appears outwardly human to other mortals and begins to die from the increased aggression factor of the Infection. The infected can reduce the symptoms of the Infection and bring it to latency through finding occult or spiritual objects for it to spread to, shedding at least a part of the Infection for the time being, or through refraining from using their supernatural abilities.
