I’ve been working on how my human AU’s biological solver virus functions, so here’s the infection timeline for anyone who’s curious! And if you have questions feel free to ask, they help me worldbuild!
Solver Virus Infection Timeline:
First few hours - The infected person will become nauseous and develop migraines and/or aching muscles.
First few days - The infected person will have experienced several bouts of nausea, migraines, muscle ache, insomnia, sore gums, and unsettling nightmares.
First week - The infected person's symptoms will have become chronic, their ears will have begun to curl, and their canines will have loosened in their gums.
Next 4-6 weeks - Mutations will continue to occur until the ears have fully reshaped, fingernails have grown in thickness, and canines have fallen out and regrown.
Two months post infection - Medication will fail at this stage of infection and beyond. Chronic symptoms will have faded and pupils will have changed color.
Three to four months post infection - The infected person will continue to adapt to their heightened senses of hearing and light reception as their mutations solidify. It is likely they will experience extreme highs and lows of energy as well as develop strange mood swings.
Five months post infection - The infected person's mood swings will have stabilized. They will experience strange cravings which will turn into a sudden and desperate need to consume larger portions of protein-heavy meals as well as a greater intake of fluids. Eventually the infected person's cardiovascular system will begin to fluoresce and their digestive system will rapidly heat up along with their increase in food/drink consumption.
Six months post infection - An increase in intensity of the above cravings and continued internal rise in temperature and bioluminescence. Several random advantageous mutations will begin to occur.
Seven months post infection - The infected person's internals will calm down and only heat up/fluoresce when stimulated. Individual-specific mutations will have solidified.
Beyond seven months - The infected person is now an Absolute Solver Host with a virus fully integrated into their brain and heart. They should be capable of fully utilizing their advantageous mutations.
