THE DISEASE Parallel to our reality lurk The Six Oddities, eldritch entities that survive off death and create vessels to continue their cycle of violence. THE DISEASE is one of the youngest, but most violent, of the Oddities. It infects vessels through manipulation, self-doubt, and misinformation. Once a person is convinced they have been infected, they become a vessel of THE DISEASE.
Vessels of THE DISEASE carry strange, stitch-like scars and tendencies to spread info about THE DISEASE to infect more victims. It's implied that the vessels can transform into blood-seeking monsters, but this has never been caught by anyone alive.
