THE BODY HORROR MEME.
Body horror, biological horror, organic horror or venereal horror is horror fiction in which the horror is principally derived from the graphic destruction or degeneration of the body.[1] Such works may deal with disease, decay, parasitism, mutilation, or mutation. Other types of body horror include unnatural movements, or the anatomically incorrect placement of limbs to create 'monsters' out of human body parts. David Cronenberg, Frank Henenlotter, Brian Yuzna, Stuart Gordon, Lloyd Kaufman, and Clive Barker are notable directors of this genre.
You know how this works guys:
1. Post your characters.
2. Roll for your scenario.
3. ???
4. Profit.
1.Feral You've been bitten. Fluids have been exchanged. It's no death, simply a new sort of life with new instincts, new urges, new physical changes. Either you learn to watch for the moon or you simply can't control it. Can you live with the beast inside of you? Or is it time to just let go and give into your new feral nature?
2. Immortality blood has been drunk, either willingly or against your will. Sire or Sired, you must fight physical and mental changes to you while coping with it around your loved ones and friends. Is it something you can even fight? Or is immortality doomed to be the poison that destroys you? Can you even blend in among mere mortals anymore or are you something new? Something...better?
3. Eldritch You have seen the thing from beyond the stars. It has driven you mad, driven you to want to become one with the darkness. Or perhaps you are becoming one with the darkness whether you want to or not. Tentacles sprout, limbs rearrange themselves. You are being re-written at your very core.
4. Metal The machines are everywhere. They have you too, in your skin, in your very bones. Perhaps you were always a machine. Perhaps the cybernetic attachments are you. Whatever it is, what once was flesh now is steel. Does that change who you are? Or does that simply mean you have been assisted in some new way?
5. Demonic You have been chosen by darker powers, to carry a grim and terrible legacy to term, to be as a vessel to creatures from the darkest pits of hell, or simply to just play host to monsters. God has no place here, and the power of christ may compell you you're not leaving anytime soon.
6. I am not myself. Despite the previous five options, this one might be simpler. You wake up one day as someone else. Let awkward hilarity ensue. Who did it and why? How did it happen? Who are you anyway?
7. I've let myself go. You may be you - but you're a little more or a little less of you. Simply put you've made some physical changes. Time to show them off, talk about them, get annoyed or be pleased.
8. I'm just so gosh darn cute. 1-5 are pretty dark. so suddenly you're...not so dark. You're a kid, you're a toy, you're a pony, you've just become so gosh darn adorable how can you stand it? You can't. Seriously why would anyone want to be a pony? Do they sell ponies beer? No.
9. It's all in your head Whatever's happening to you is the result of a mental block, and thought you might imagine darkness creeping in, you are in fact perfectly normal. It's simply your head that's changing itself.
10. None of this is actually happening to me at all Well snap. You're not turning. Your buddy is. how will you aid/assist your friend?
11.5. WildCard Do whatever you want. Here is a space to do it in.
SCENARIOS
1. Ch-ch-changes - The first time is always the hardest. You've come to a realization that something is different, and it's rather arresting. Do you go for help or do you hide away in the darkness like the hideous monster and/or very confused person you are?
2. Drinkin' the Kool-Aid- Whatever it is, you've liked it. Or alternatively you hate it. Now it's time to go on a rampage perhaps around those same loved ones or struggle against those animal urges.
3. One of us, One of us - With whatever it is you feel the need to change someone to be just like you. Bitten, turned, tied down, magic, whatever it takes you're tired of being the only one to suffer.
4. Looking for a cure. - Obvious answer. You're tired of it, so it's time for a cure. You and your friend/loved one/ally/enemy want to stop whatever you've become...
5. The obligatory smut option - You have urges. natural urges but also physical urges. Natural physical urges. Or perhaps your partner does. That being said, you two should act on them.
6. This is surprisingly useful Whatever it is it has a use, perhaps to find other creatures that don't like humans or to help make humans lives better, this is the "Let's use this to help people" problem.
7. wildcard Make up your own.
