About Neurax worms: The Neurax worm has the ability to 'convince' their hosts that they are their god and masters through an overdose of Vasopressin and Oxytocin. For the sake of RP purposes, the influence of the Neurax worm can obviously be resisted, and those who have only a human character embrace it, don't care, or are against it will have their own opinions and will be able to act on them, regardless of whether or not they are infected. Worm OC's cannot infect human OC's without specific permission. The Neurax worm can also cause their hosts to obsess over worm related tasks, for better or for worse on each side. Some Neurax worms can also cause maturity levels to go down because of hormone activity. It can also cause minor forms of mania and some insanity. They can also cause confusion, memory loss, aneurysms, aphasia, coma, hallucinations and Brain Hemorrhaging. This is why the text in bold is there. Also, power gaming, metagameing, and god modding will be against the rules, as always.

[/hider] [hider= Ubermensch] Name: Near unpronounceable to human tongue, but name translates to "Harbinger" Age: Young adult Gender: Male Rank: Worm Date of Infection:N/A Occupation: Worm Appearance: [img=http://media.bakersfieldnow.com/images/101104_hookworm.jpg] Personality: With a disdain of humanity, he considers the humans to be the absolute personification of chaos. Knowing the amounts of war and environmental degradation mankind has done, he believes that if they are controlled, the problem will be pacified. One metaphor he uses for the Homo Sapiens species is like that of a young grub, constantly demanding nourishment. His misanthropy is further fueled by Harbinger's desire to install peace and order across the world. Another of Harbinger's agenda, due to his awareness and knowledge of human outer space ventures, is to make sure that no alien species comes into Earth or no human comes out of Earth. "We will be doing other sapient species a favor." In short, a benevolent dictatorship is Harbinger's ultimate goal. Biography: Awakened to be a harbinger for his kin, he has taken steps to help found and cement the "Church of the Neurax Worm". Though youthful compared to his fellow species members, he has been the first worm in and one of the last ones out. Believing that his kin must subjugate the humans rather than annihilate them, he has instructed younger worms to handle the plan with discretion. The Harbinger, for sure, took discretion in mind. Whether the plan for world domination would succeed or fail all depends on his gambles. In his thoughts, "No game of chess is complete without pawns." [/hider]
