Yuki Fuhai

(Japanese) 有機腐敗; Organic decay

Yuki Fuhai is a contagious condition that transforms a living creature into one of the Undead. It originated on Seimeinokigen (specifically Kaynağı Hava) and is transmitted via the digestive fluids of infected creatures.   All Undead are technically affected with the condition.

Transmission & Vectors

Long term proximity to Kaynağı Hava results in self-initiation of the condition in any living entity (sapient creature, flora, or fauna).   Transmission is exclusively tied to contact or consumption of an infected creature's digestive juices (e.g. for humanoid creatures: saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, succus entericus (intestinal juice) and bile).   The condition is transmissable once the infected creature's physiology has started to succumb to the disease.

Causes

Long term proximity to Kaynağı Hava since the conclusion of Müthiş Savaş slowly decayed the flora and fauna of Seimeinokigen. As they turned, their behaviour became increasingly hostile and carnivorous.   Exponential growth of the condition across the continent occured as a result of transmission via digestive fluid.

Symptoms

Short Term: Dry Mouth, Insatiable Hunger, Trouble Focusing, Slurred Speech, Discolouration of the Skin, Fever, Rash or Hives Surrounding a Lesion   Medium Term: Nausea or Vomiting caused by consumption of non-raw meat, Difficulty Breathing, Forgetting to Breath, Forgetfulness, Confusion, Fits of Rage, A Desire to Bite your Neighbours, Joint Stiffness, Loss of Identify, Amnesia, Increase in Body Odour, Loose Grey or Bluish Skin, Depression (most often identifiable by apathy toward one's appearance)   Long Term: Loss of Fingernails, Decayed Flesh, Strong Odour, Complete Loss of Awareness of Self, Loss of Appetite but a Strong Desire to Consume Meat

Treatment

Unknown. Get the hell out of Seimeinokigen for starters.
