Soul Fever

Once Soul Fever consumes individuals, it reduces them to mere marionettes, forcefully stripping away their own desires and will. Once consumed by Soul Fever, individuals lose their own desires and will, being forced to conform to another's will without the ability to protest their circumstances. They are kept in a state of captivity within their own physical forms, reducing them to mere spectators of the ever-changing world that surrounds them, and depriving them of the ability to engage with it.

Formed from the lethal mix of Ethylraceta and Dydralax, Soul Fever is a blood disease that wreaks havoc on those addicted to this deadly combination of drugs. Transmission of the disease can occur through infected blood and during childbirth. Soul fever is passed through frequent dosage of the mixed drug or through transfusion of an infected blood sample.

While non-lethal when taken separately, together Ethylraceta and Dydralax cause the user to enter a zombie-like trance, depriving the user of their autonomy. Soul Fever has three stages:

Stage 1: Docile
Stage 2: Submissive
Stage 3: Complete Submission

Stage one Soul Fever is the most common type and is easily treatable with no lasting effects. With stage one, the victim, when exposed to the substance in small amounts, keeps a certain level of consciousness, albeit with most of their memories are shrouded in a fog. Increasing the dosage of the drug over an extended period will lead the victim to stage three of Soul Fever. Stage three Soul Fever makes it more probable for the recipient to experience both the combined side effects of the drug and complete loss of memory regarding their actions. Neglecting proper treatment for Soul Fever can have dire consequences, causing permanent damage to the victim's body and mind, potentially leading to their untimely demise.

Ethylraceta, also called E-lixer or Vitamin E, is a recreational drug that can enhance perception and sensory pleasure. Ethylraceta, with its heightened potency compared to ecstasy, is predominantly utilized to heighten sexual pleasure.

In regards to Soul Fever, Etylraceta is what causes the victim's mind to go into a haze-like dream state making them receptive to non-verbal conditioning.

The non-lethal nature of Ethylraceta allows it to be sold over the counter at specialty stores, with a variety of flavors to choose from. In light of failed attempts to categorize it as a more dangerous substance, the production and sale of it are now closely monitored.

Dydralax
Alias: Colonel K, Snapper, Dr. D
Medical uses: controls heartbeat irregularities, reduces heart rate
Effects: Impairs sense of time, strong sedative effects
Side Effects: Increased erratic behavior, anxiety, brain damage

In medical practice, it is common to administer Dydralax as a medicinal drug with the purpose of calming patients who are in distress, thereby reducing the likelihood of them causing harm to themselves or others. For victims of Soul Fever, its sedative properties removed autonomy in large dosages.

Dydralax must be prescribed and monitored by a professional pharmacist and is not available for over-the-counter purchases.
