HMHVV

Human Metahuman Vampiric Virus is a retrovirus that reaches its full potential only in a magic-rich world, such as the Sixth World. The virus itself has existed for a long time and has expressed itself in the Fifth World on a few rare occasions. When a metahuman’s immune system fails to stave off infection, the virus begins to systematically re-shape their auras and genetic code—transforming them into forms reminiscent of the night-stalking monsters of legend.
The presence of the virus can be tested for in the blood.
There are four main strains of HMHVV, which affect metahumans in different ways:

• HMHVV I
• HMHVV IA
• HMHVV II
• HMHVV III
