Okay so I was going through my notecards of rp's done a long time ago. I found a very interesting thing. Scabies, lets infect xr with scabies. Of course it will most definitely affect us but I think it could be fun. I'll put all the info here for your review and please tell me what you think.
~~~~~~~~
[OOC: Congratulations! Your character has just acquired a bad case of scabies, otherwise known as mange. Your character may have acquired this from simple physical contact: Brushing against someone, hugging, a handshake, etc. By agreeing to participate in this RP, you'll be able to have fun with the effects that entail having scabies. ]

<SCABIES DEFINTION AND GENERAL SYMPTOMS: It is a skin infection that occurs in humans and animals, caused by a tiny, and not directly visible parasite, Sarcoptes scabiei. It will burrow under the host's skin, causing intense, allergic itching. Being constantly itchy will undoubtedly cause irritability, and rising tensions.
PLEASE NOTE: Scratching will cause open wounds to seep, and will increase your character's chance of being contagious.>

<EFFECTS BY RACE:>
[OOC NOTE: Please keep in mind that if your character tends to assume a human, or humanoid appearance, they will be affected as such. This also goes for any other forms/guises, that your character may be able to magically take on.]

*Humans:
1-3 days after initial infection, humans will begin to break out in hives, causing the individual to be extremely itchy.

*Undead/Vampires:
May not be entirely affected beyond general itching. Prolonged exposure, however, will increase the need to consume more blood.

*Werecreatures and Animals:
In their animal form, werecreatures will begin to lose fur over time, causing baldness, and scabs to appear all over. In their human forms, they will have, as humans, the appearance of hives, and be extremely itchy.

*Demons:
Will share the same symptoms as humans, in this case.

*Fae:
Since most Fae tend to look human, they will also have the same physical reactions. However, they may be able to detect the presence of scabies on them, being much more attuned to themselves, and nature. (Mange is a naturally occuring incident.)

*Reptiles/Reptilian humanoids:
Will likely not be affected, simply because of having strong, scaley skin. However, please note that scabies *CAN* burrow between scales, in which case, scales will come off in patches, and their skin will become extremely itchy.

CURES/TREATMENTS:
**PLEASE NOTE***: Magic will NOT heal scabies away. This particular strain of scabies is a hardy, nasty little creature, having been touched by the dark influences on the isle.

-Magic healing: Will only temporarily relieve symptoms, for an hour at most at a time, after which, symptoms will return in full force. An individual who has sought out this form of treatment will not be able to be 'healed' from Scabies for the next 12 hours.

Once the outbreak has been successfully identified, (the process of which may take a few days) it is up to individuals to rally together, and to determine, and then search for a cure.

It might need a little tweaking to fit XR but it could be totally hilarious. What do ya think?
