Turgost Tiberian, once an accomplished commando and veteran soldier on a planet of carbon-based humanoids, has survived the devastation on his planet. This devastation was caused by a highly adaptive virus called the Reaver Scourge. which changes not only its own genetic makeup but also the genetic makeup of its host. Persons with the virus develop red welts on their body and die although a few survuve but undergo extreme physical mutation so that they no longer resemble their former selves. The changes in their bodies include increased speed, strength, healing, hearing, heightened sense of night vision, and also a longer lifespan. Negative effects are pale skin and red eyes, both sensitive to sunlight. They are susceptible to overheating and prefer a colder environment. They are plagued as well with a decrease in energy, requiring the need to rest for long periods of time, also the need to filter the air they breathe as some airborne particulates cause severe reactions such as paralysis. On his home planet these survivors are called the Cursed.
Turgost has not encountered the virus since his trip through the wormhole brought him here but he is always on the lookout for it. He would like to find a cure and a way back to his home world.
Anyone with any symptoms is advised to seek medical help immediately, although there is no indication the virus traveled with him here.
