Poisonous blood, if it touches your skin, your body cristalizes until it shatters in one thousand pieces, ouch... :stuck_out_tongue:

i'm still looking to do more research as i start writing her but my character Lucie will have a kind of chronic illness which plays a big role in her character arc

My male lead Kattar Moon, isn't sick per say, but his health has been on a decline lately since he got out of the hospital the last time. He has a lot of the symptoms of anemia 90% of the time because of his medication, but his medication isn't because of any virus or disease, but for his chronic back pain caused by the spinal injury that paralyzed him.

Not real (I think), but one of my characters has a condition which causes him to perceive time five seconds after everybody else. He's perpetually stuck five seconds in the past.

I have a character with cataracts.

I have another with a strange skin condition and an infection in his eye. He usually keeps it covered with an eyepatch.

I do have a character who wears a mask in public. It hasn't been completely stated yet but he is immunocompromised. It goes sort of hand in hand with him being a clone thus his genetics are a little off.

One of the characters has a mysterious illness which makes him weaker, faint sometimes and then he also starts coughing out blood. He knows the cause of the illness, but doesn't want to tell doctors what is it. AND some time into the story another character also starts getting those symptoms, but they get worse quicker.

I have a character who is a step but beloved mother towards her adopted children (MC included), Her name is Midha.

She was kidnapped, blessed by a deity that gave her power and ability to be an assassin, and trained to be a Hashashin.

All goes well for her until she fakes her death to live a normal life with her family, only to be discovered, hunted down, took away her blessing, and passed on to one of her twin sons whom they kidnapped the same way they kidnapped her when she was a child.

The side effect of taking away a god's blessing is that her health slowly deteriorates. She doesn't cough but she suffers daily fevers, finds it hard to stand, and do things herself sometimes but despite all this, she remains resilient for her children's sake.

She's still kicking.

I had one character, Bucky, who was a carrier for fowl pox - harmless, sorta - assumed got it from his old farm. Unknowingly started a plague within the flock. No one found out until the very end.

Does sick in the head count? I have a few OCs like that :slight_smile:

I don't know if it counts, but Psychoborg was born severely deformed which required him to become a cyborg at birth.

In "Lyra's Magnum Opus", Sana has a terminal illlness stemming from a malformed hypothalamus in his brain. The hypothalamus controls the endocrine system in the body, among other things. This means that most of his organs are dysfunctional, including the pancreas (causes a severe form of diabetes type 1, called "brittle diabetes"), intestines, hypothyroidism, liver dysfunctionality, muscle problems, among many other things. This is degenerative with age. His disorder has caused him to have two heart attacks due to a series of events from stress and a combination of symptoms. His most recent heart attack has severely weakened him to the point of needing to use a wheelchair, which he struggles with in terms of mental health. He'll need it for the rest of his life.

Erik and Oriel can’t get sick, partly because the latter is an “Angel” (in reality a mere good spirit) while the former has no biological bodily functions. Erik cannot get a cold because he’s made of solidified water and therefore the cold itself has no effect on him.

Julian has hairy cell leukemia, which is a chronic cancer with a decent survival rate with regular treatment. They will also be diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer and very early stage 1 gastric cancer in the future, which will lead to surgery and port-o-cath treatment. On top of that they're also very lactose intolerant, truly a tragic character.
