me and kyle are literally the ‘ when you try your best but you don’t succeed- ‘ meme

#part of the reason why i love him so much is bc i share a lot of things in common with him #aka the sarcasm the vulgarity (aka saying fuck constantly) the attempts at humor only for it to fall flat sometimes and awkwardly stand-#there in silence....... oh and the most terrible luck in the world lmao #tbd.

one day (when i am less busy) i will write a meta about how kyle’s status as a sentient volatile really messed up his self perception

#AND MORE THINGS #his mental health has def gotten worse but does he make it obvious to anyone? nah #tbd.

𝙵𝙸𝙻𝙴 𝙽𝚄𝙼𝙱𝙴𝚁 𝟶1. : THV

The pathogen that ravaged Harran , a city in Turkey , is a mutated and highly aggressive form of rabies. It was crafted by the government as a bio weapon , though it’s unclear if the THV was leaked accidentally , or on purpose. Either way , the city of Harran has become a quarantine zone , completely cut off from the outside world ━ only receiving aid from the GRE in the form of supply drops and antizin. THV has yielded many types of infected , with the standard being virals and biters , and then the multitudes of mutated infected that litter the city and the countryside.

SECTION 01. METHODS OF INFECTION + SYMPTOMS

THV shares many attributes with the rabies virus it mutated from , but it also has a number of differences that make it stand apart. Main methods of infection mainly lie in bites , with the saliva of the fully infected being laced with a huge viral load , fully capable of bypassing and overcoming the immune system within a couple of hours or a couple of days ( this depends on the individual’s health , location of the bite , and immune response ) if antizin is not administered. Contracting the virus via blood from an infected individual can also happen , but it’s less common. If blood were to get into an open wound , then the turn time would be similar to that of receiving a bite. This virus is highly mutagenic and will yield various mutations depending on what it has to work with pertaining to the host body.

Rabies primarily uses neuronal pathways to reach the brain , causing severe damage to the neural cells along the way. Usually , it takes months for symptoms to show , and once it’s apparent that someone is infected with rabies , there’s no cure / possible treatment that could be administered. However , with THV , the pathogen uses the bloodstream instead of the nervous system , which provides a much faster method of delivery. As a result , it is able to reach the brain at a much faster rate , and symptoms occur much quicker. Once the virus completely overwhelms the brain , it starts to travel towards the salivary glands that have been overproducing saliva for further infection in case the host comes into contact with non - infected people. It mainly attacks the central nervous system , frontal lobe , cerebellum , amygdala , and eventually , morphing an individual’s genetics in some cases. Both rabies and the THV share the same weakness , and that is UV radiation. If either virus is exposed to the sun ( or blacklights ) , then it will be destroyed. This is reflected in the infected during daylight , being much more sluggish and immobile as opposed to their higher activity at night. The highly mutated infected are so averse to light , that they can only come out when there’s no UV rays present.

Signs of infection are ( but not limited to ) : fever , excessive salivation and bleeding from the nose , mouth , and eyes , inability to swallow , developing hydrophobia , discoloration of the veins around the bite wound ( either a stagnant deep red or a black hue ) , muscle spasms , mild to severe seizures ( depends on how many hours / days have passed since infection ) , dizziness , hallucinations , fatigue , high sensitivity to light , burst / popped blood vessels in the iris / sclera , discolored irises ( permanent side effect regardless of antizin intake , dark brown eyes become a dark caramel , blue eyes become icy , almost white , etc. ) , extreme aggression , delirium , loss of motor coordination , etc.

SECTION 02. TYPES OF INFECTED

The infected that reside in Harran are all highly dangerous despite appearances. There are basic , non - mutated infected ( which are the standard you commonly see around quarantine ) , and the ones that have been twisted and contorted beyond human recognition.

COMMON INFECTED

nightwalkers : Only coming out at night , nightwalkers are biters that are not as oppressed by the sun. Without UV radiation present , THV is able to fully run rampant throughout the biter’s body , and is able to change them into a form of viral. They’re able to run and climb as they see fit , but they don’t possess the same physical fortitude that a viral has… But that does not make them any less dangerous. Not every single biter will become a night walker , it entirely depends on the host’s genetics and previous athletic ability.

bruisers + busters : While still sluggish , these biters are on their way to become a variant called a goon. They’re a lot more sturdy and harder to dispatch than regular biters , with enough power and force to completely knock a survivor onto their backs. Bruisers and busters are both bulky and fully capable of withstanding head trauma , but busters are the only ones capable of still holding items such as : wrenches , crowbars , hammers , pipes , etc. They still have the mental capacity to swing this item at their target , or even throw it if distance is put between them.

goons : An uncommon form of biter , the goons are a significantly larger and stronger variant than both normal biters and virals alike. They’re roughly 8 feet tall , having the remains of clothing that resemble the garments of blue collar workers ( the virus most likely mutated firemen , construction workers , etc. , to become a stronger variant due to their natural physicality ). They’re extremely slow and cannot climb , but they make up for it with brute strength and prowess. They often carry a heavy piece of rebar , swinging it around with such strength and reckless abandon that they hit other infected in the way. Goons can easily crush bone and kill someone with little effort , but due to their sluggishness , they can be easy to maneuver if someone has the athleticism to do so.

Now , the uncommon infected of Harran are highly mutated and more dangerous than their lesser affected kin. These variants have been made through specific means by previous mental / health conditions prior to contracting the THV , and their genetics.

UNCOMMON INFECTED

alpha volatiles : Also known as blue volatiles , aptly named for the extra blue armor that grows all over their body , they rarely appear in volatile hives. They act as leaders and protectors of normal volatiles , being faster , stronger , and more resistant to damage. Although extremely rare , they do appear more often in Sector 0 and in the countryside.

ALPHA LEVEL INFECTED

There is only one variant that truly stands above the rest , even above the likes of volatiles. This variant is extremely rare and has only ever occurred twice.

Sentient Volatiles : A hybrid between alpha volatiles and living beings , these highly dangerous variants have all the capabilities of every other variant , with some new abilities added in. Created from a highly experimental strain of the virus , it comes in a liquid and gaseous form , with the liquid being more fast acting ━ anyone that drinks this will eventually mutate , but not specifically into a sentient volatile. An interesting thing about this strain of THV , is that someone will turn regardless of their antizin intake. If a survivor were freshly supplied with antizin , and they were to breathe in a large amount of the gas or drink the liquid form , they will be infected and they will turn. They could transform into any other variant , but the consistent fact between them all would be their sentience during the day. Sentient volatiles are the most human in appearance , apart from virals , looking as much as they were before they were infected , with the exception of some physical changes. Typically , sentient volatiles have red or ombre irises , with red specks dotting them ( they can have very light blue eyes if that was their eye color before infection. it all depends on the previous saturation ) , toughened and sharp nails on each hand that are about an inch in length , notably taller than your average human ( about seven or more feet in height ) , they stand on the balls of their feet ( taking on a more digitigrade appearance ) , with the biggest change being the inside of their mouths ( they have a large assortment of canines and teeth designed to rip and tear into flesh , as well as crush bone ). Despite this , their status as a volatile is not questioned unless someone actively looks for signs… Unless night / darkness befalls them. To repeat , these variants retain their sentience during the day or in the light , with the rays suppressing THV within their system so they could still be human… But if this light were to fail , or if they were caught outside when the sun sets , then their true nature comes out. Sentient volatiles have the full capability of splitting their jaws down the middle if they desired to , their bestial prowess coming to the fore… Becoming the apex predator during the night. They will hunt and eat anyone they come across without conscience , only desiring to fill their need to feed and kill anyone they come across. However , if they were placed into an area of complete UV light for a short amount of time , they will suffer burns , but their sentience will return to them as long as the light is present. What makes these variants so much more dangerous than normal volatiles ? Their intelligence and their added abilities. They have everything a volatile possesses , the speed , the increased strength , the acid , all on top of their complete sentience during the day… but they also possess something no other infected have : a healing factor and telekinetic abilities. If a sentient volatile were to be hurt in any way , any lasting damage that cracked through their hardened skin would be remedied near instantly , only slowed by a devastating amount of damage that they could still recover from. These variants also possess telepathic abilities ranging from telepathy , mind reading , communicating and making someone feel their own emotions , revealing and playing memories in an individual’s mind , causing excruciating pain in their mind , causing auditory and visual hallucinations , mild mind control , and even inducing insanity if they really desired to. Their telekinetic abilities can be so powerful , that they are fully capable of fully repelling and damaging someone with psionic waves if it’s needed , implying that they can even move and crush objects if given the time to fully develop their abilities. Only two sentient volatiles have ever been created : the one known as the Mother , and the former freelance spy known as Kyle Crane. The only weakness that a sentient volatile has… is another sentient volatile.

SECTION 03. ANTIZIN.

The only thing known to halt the progress of the original THV strain is antizin. If a limb has been bitten , it can be hacked off , but it’s not recommended , mainly due to the lack of medical supplies available to properly treat it without death happening. Antizin is a vaccine that is very similar to the one that halts the reproduction of HIV+ patients , working on disrupting the key functions a virus needs to properly reproduce in the body. This medication , usually injected , targets the body’s cells and disallows them from reading the reverse transcriptase sent out by the virus , thus stopping the infection progress altogether for a few days to a week or two. It’s not permanent though , the cells will resume the production of THV and completely turn someone into a viral if they don’t receive another dose of antizin. It has been noted that , the virus will continue to progress and change someone even if the antizin is administered , providing beneficial effects without the worry of losing themselves for a long span of time. Most notably , an individual will develop increased strength , agility , and keener senses , as long as they keep receiving this drug. However , if this goes on for years , the body will eventually develop resistance to antizin , and it won’t be as effective anymore. At this point in time , a survivor won’t have many options left , unless a cure is found.

#i'll update the creature list eventually since there are some new variants #but since the virus has an official (not weirdly sounding racist name) title now i'll use that one!#and i'll analyze the strain from dl2 also!#since it is diff from the original and i have my own thoughts on it

i haven’t fully thought out my RE verse, but kyle is definitely a mercenary that umbrella hired during the events of RE2 to retrieve important data fials and viral samples - but he eventually figured out that umbrella was, in fact, terrible and told them to go fuck themselves. after the raccoon city incident, kyle dedicates himself to taking down umbrella but is still a freelance operative that doesn’t align himself with any specific organization (the BSAA, DSO, etc.).

#VERY basic rundown but #he's either 100% human or he's a B.O.W (which falls in line with my volatile verse)#either or is fine with me when it comes to plotting and stuff #ooc.

#FUCK #FUCK FUCK FUCKF UCK #: / / frequency 03. introspection.

as a sentient volatile, kyle is essentially invisible to the infected. he blends in perfectly among them and they never try to take a chunk out of him, even the more mutated variants steer clear of him due to his status as a volatile. since he is considered to be an alpha volatile, other volatiles tend to respect his space and even follow his command at one point - essentially, kyle can control an entire hive of volatiles if he wishes.
