Illness and Fever

[Kokuten]

I've been wondering for a little while, is there a certain list of sicknesses that the SARP has? Or do we happen to have a multi-purpose shot that deals with that?

Geshrin are moderately immune to most disease. Yamataians are almost perfectly immune to disease (something to do with their hemosynthesis?).

Nekos are more or less unable to be infected, last I heard.

Neps are fucked? Hard to say.

 

[MoonMan]

From what I've read, Geshrins, Yamataians and Nekos are all disease-immune.

Everyone else is fair game, although I'd wager everyone would have very potent antidotes for more well-known diseases.

Us neps are very responsive to drugs. As long as we dont die from the initial infection, we'll come out just fine

Hooah!

Does nanophage "Grey Goo" count as a disease if it infects a person and waits a while before rapidly consuming their boddy and everythig else in the area? Several sci-fi settings (and more than a few others) feature parasites that will slowly grow inside the host until they reach some new stage in their growth cycle, and then burst out to seek new victims, killing the host in the process? Also common, and a little more disease-like, are creatures that lay eggs on or in a host, and when the eggs hatch... *somehow, through sheer willpower, managaes to hold down her breakfast* ...though this usually isn't instantly fatal if the eggs are laid somewhere non-vital, like a limb.

I imagine that for Nekos and Yamataians, any kind of autoimmune syndrome would be very, very, very, very bad.

Another possibility might be femtomachines or HSCS nanomachines going haywire (or being caused to go haywire) and acting like "mad cow disease" prions, only affecting the entire body instead of just the brain and nervous system.

Can Yamataians/Nekos get computer viruses?

Can Yamataians/Nekos get computer viruses?

Yes, and while they have extensive measures to prevent it, it's happened in the RP at least once or twice before.
