Neihernspried C Sub-Branches

The Neihernspried is a parasitical fungus. (Read more on it on the main page of The Neihernspried) The branch of C has multiple Sub-Branches which all have different characteristics.

The beginning of C sub-branches
Ashren was itching for war. He hadn't had any action in his entire life yet and wanted to kill something. In a desperate struggle for violence he joined the Neihernspried side and took infected C1 stew. C1 reacted with Ashren's personality and told him to "Kill them all". After the treaty of Agora was signed and peace was made at Agora, Ashren snapped and split off from C1. His violence had manifested into the sub-branch C2. After studying the responses he had from when he split apart from C1, Ashren learned how to create C0 stew.

C0 The blank slate
C0 is the blank slate of the C sub-branch. Chemicals inside of the spores can react with the brain to cause a similar reaction as to what Ashren had when the war was cancelled. These chemicals magnify the consumer's current mood by tenfold and creates a C sub-branch. C0 is considered impossible to find in the wild as it is extremely reactive to its surroundings and often dies out or manifests as C1.

Characteristics of the Sub-branches (Hosts in brackets beside descriptions)
C0 - The blank slate (See above)

C1 - The most common form of C. Often speaks of murder and is thought to be crazy.

(Ashren/Yissanon) C2 - The first sub-branch to split off from C1. Even crazier and more bloodthirsty than C1. Ashren describes C2 as having "a sexy bod" and often refers to C2 as a woman.

(ModernPond11/Pontius) C3 - One of the calmer C sub-branches. When manifesting the subject seemed depressed and upset. C3 seems dead-set on expansion and prefers warped fungus instead of the usual crimson fungus.

(SpectralMage12) C4 - Eradicated. Unable to determine characteristics before extinction.

(Erupto_) C5 - A calmer C similar to that of C3. Determined to overthrow governments, especially imperialist powers. Noted to have said "Revolution" on multiple accounts.

(TenshiPT) C6 - A slightly violent variant. C6 takes the characteristics of a dog and makes peculiar growling noises. C6 can still however communicate regularly and seems quite defensive towards Neihernspried infected. This sub-branch is considered Extinct.

(Lumiyumi/Lumiya) C7 - A unstable variant keen on having a lot of power. Described as a "puppeteer". Acts like a child to appeal to its host. Seeks a parental figure. Looks after its host with care.

(Archangel_06/David) C8 - A calm variant which takes the form of a person the host cares about to manipulate him better. The host of C8 (David) has various memories of a mysterious woman called Haria and has dedicated himself to figuring out her importance in his life. C8 abuses this desire in its host. C8 cannot take control of its host unless they are asleep. C8 cannot manipulate thoughts, instead it can control the flow of memories. For example, during a tense battlefield, C8 could remind its host of a moment of anger and get them to attack first. C8 infects a very large portion of its host's physical body, even growing a flower. C8 aims to put its host in a permanent dream in order to gain full control of them. C8 can have other 2 variants.

C8-2 - A more aggressive version of C8. It can, unlike the other two, consume it's host's soul to become stronger and can control the spores emitted by its flower. This variant is Very rare and has only occurred once.

C8-3 - If the host get infected with C8 in an High Stress situation, it might mutate in C8-3.

This variant is the fastest spreading of the 3 and for this tends to hurt the host in the progress. Since it's not fully developed, C8-3 can't give dreams to its host leaving them in a dream less sleep.

(JITEG) C9 - This variation has three different known stages it goes trough. 1st stage: Infection to this variation starts with very severe pains specially in the chest. Vomiting blood is also very common. 2nd stage: At this stage the infected starts going "crazy". They start eating Neihernspried to calm their pains. This makes them strive farther and farther away from their original self. If they do resist the need to consume Neihernspried the pains will get worse but the infected stays relatively themselves. 3rd stage: This stage starts by Neihernspried roots starting to rip trough the infected person´s skin. At this point the infected is nearly completly someone else. They do tend to have short sessions of self awareness usually wanting the cure. these sessions get rarer and rarer all the time.
