OOC : This is inspired by a topic in the casual role play area, and if this does pick off the ground, it’s thanks to them. Please go check out their RP they deserve it.( Spoiler warning ) To those of you that have not seen the Graveyard Plague infection AU there are 4 stages ( take into account that I have not watched the graveyard plague in a while so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, also not all of this is accurate on purpose, just to add my own little spice to it )
Stage 1 : The first symptoms are major disorientation, a severe cough, and insomnia. The place of infection will be pulsing usually red in color, the closer it is to the heart, the quicker the infection takes over.
Stage 2 : All the symptoms of stage 1 but with size varying tumors across the body, Loss of most vision, and hearing as tumors grow and spread, and growing pale and bone thin. Note that the host still has conscience, but it is slowly fading.
Stage 3 : More symptoms are bloodlust, intense hunger, skin begins to rot away, and finally their consciousness is completely gone. All that’s left is a deformed zombie seeking to feed and infect. Note : None of these effects apply if the host has high mental strength, and that includes the loss of consciousness.
Stage 4 : Not much is known about this stage, the ponies of Equestria have only heard their distorted shrieks from afar at night. The only bit of info they have is if you see an infected pony that has more tumors and distortions than usual, run. for. your. life.
How it started : A power hungry alicorn was looking to reform Equestria, using her own husband as a sacrifice to the underworld, creating the Graveyard Plague.
Status of Equestria : The three remaining princesses Luna, Cadence and Twilight managed to quarantine the land, so the infection is contained. But inside is a dark and gory hellscape, that has distorted ponies wandering around the burnt and ruined civilizations that litter Equestria.
Extras : Only the strong of mind are able to keep their sanity and conscious in stage 2 and 3. The infection also seems to have a tougher time infecting Pegasus than the other two ( So if someone would like to be immune or partially immune, it would make sense if they were Pegasus ) There is no known cure at the moment, but in Canterlot the only remaining city to be left untouched, ponies are constantly working on a cure. In the same city 3 infected ponies are currently being held, tested, and attempting to be treated. All three infected have two things in common, they’re all stage 3, and they can still control their distorted bodies and what they say. Two are pegasus and the other is a unicorn, the unicorn in particular is very confusing, it’s the only known unicorn who still has control. ( And yes, this means that a few unicorns can be immune or partially immune)They have learned that the appearance of infected ponies can vary. The most common are lengthening of their legs, and eyes turning black with little red spots all over. The less common are sprouting new, working wings if they had no wings before made of pure bone and mangled loose skin and flesh, and lengthening and widening of the jaw. More results will be coming from Canterlot. Pictures of the subjects are bellow with their cell name
( Warning : If you have a hard time looking at gore or disturbing images, I'd reccomend not looking. But if you think you can handle it feel free )
