User:Mister Explicit/Primasites

The Primasites are the central antagonists of Apocalypse Royale. They are a parasitic, genetically-engineered, undead humanoid organism that hunts down on human prey.

They were indirectly made in experiments at the science corporation Eisinger Industries in an attempt to find a cure for cancer via genetic manipulation that went awry. Their abilities, and physiology heightened with the coming of the Red Plague, creating them into monstrous organisms all interconnected to a Hive Mind. The spreading of their population was halted when the island they were created on (the Province) was locked away from the rest of the world.

As the Plague evolved over a ten year span, 95% of the island's population was made up of Primasites, with only a few groups of survivors scattered across the Province.

Life Cycle
For a human to transform to a Primasite, they would first need to be exposed to a large strain of the Red Plague. Once exposed, it would only be a matter of hours, before the host's heart would ultimately burst, and flatline. After several seconds, the host would undergo a hideous mutation into a Primasite, and wake up undead, with a hive mind connection to the rest of the Primasites.
