==== Introduction ====
A being of infection, virus personified, a new virus coagulating into a demi-dragonoid form that calls itself Livion. feminine in appearance, a brood mother to many abominations. its not known just how long Livion has walked the planes of existence. theories say //"they"// were a result from the Outer gods contracting an unknown ailment, the substance expunged from the physicals forms of these gods showed life and intelligence, eventually grouping together around a unfortunate mortal who acted as the catalyst, Forming the physical being known as Livion we see today.
Livion refers to herself as //they//, being a collection of many beings and many souls Livion is not one but many, similar to the //elder-brain// of a mind flayer civilization. \\ Livion may be referred to by others as //she// so that simpler life forms may not get confused.
Livion has been trapped in the abyssal lake for many millennium, drifting between spaces in-between spaces, the great vast space that fills the area between dimensions, the vast cosmos of the unknown is her home, it wasn't until she found herself washed up on the shores of Exilis did her being start to play a part in the worlds.
{{ :character:decota:livion_updated_scaled.png?393|}}
Livion's primary instinct as any virus is to grow, spread and multiply. \\ Her victims suffer cruel fates, weather being infected with her virus through encounters with another infected creature or plant life, or the far more grotesques form of being devoured by Livion herself. your soul is then trapped within her until you are reborn as one of her brood abominations. Fates worse than death.
Even if Livion's physical body was destroyed as long as her virus still exists in the multiverse she may regroup and reform. The only true way to eliminate her for good is to find a cure, however this has yet to be done and may prove more difficult, with hyper intelligence the ability to adapt to any new counter cure may prove too daunting of a task.
Her abilities are psionic in nature. Far stronger than and pod of Mindflayers and possibly stronger than an Elderbrain. Much like an Ilithid Her diet requires living thinking beings. the more intelligent the more satisfying the meal. unlike Ilithids which simply devour the victims memories, Livion devours the entire body, alive. \\ Ilithids being a prime meal candidate for Livion.
**A Connection** \\
In the aftermath some creatures seemed to escape //Exilis// and with that the Virus left with them. One such creature. a pair of Dragon kin. Livion has seen the mortal plane. although the connection is weak its there and she only needs to wait until she can claw her way through to a new realm. perhaps her ticket to see the cosmos again.
**A New Plague** \\
In the year 12339 the pieces were all aligned. With the Sacrifice of [[character:valefor|Zyllis]] Livions physical form had made it into the mortal plane //Felwind//. A Climatic battle was fought between Blinding Spear's defcacto commander and the Hag of the //Gaitby Jungle// but both fell to the might of this alien creature. Vanishing underground the only confirmed reports of the creature's existence is a band of soldiers catching a short glimpse. \\
To most of the Mortal plane's ignorance, Livion reeks havoc in the lower planes of the Underdark. causing chaos among the Illithids and other species tat call the dark depths home.
====Background: Monster====
Known as a Astral Born Virus, Said to have been created when the Old gods suffered an unknown ailment, the substance they discharged writhed and grew, seeking out an unfortunate mortal, giving it consciousness and rise to Livion.
**What do i want, Really?** \\
//A lot of mortals often wail or beg for mercy, asking what We want in exchange for thier lives or what We are looking to obtain. Its never really occurred to us. We have this natural urge just to devour, grow and multiply like any good organism should. but We find ourselves lacking. the small pleasures simple mortals enjoy is something far beyond Our reach, all We have known is this life, maybe what We crave is something to compare it too.//
**Life in Exilis** \\
//What a miserable place, nobody who is here wants to be here, the only thing to do is make the most of it. The land is rich in all manor of powerful artifacts and resources, we took the major city but after that we didn't feel to urge to expand anymore, like the satisfaction had vanished. the mortals had mostly fled west and I have no urge to chase. all We want now is some new experiences and new toys to torment but now We know not to rush, we must savour our experience. We want out//
**Drifting through the Void** \\
//We don't remember much of the void, or how long we were there. Born we were, not naturally. floating in the endless swirling darkness and stars. only the omnipresence voices broke the silence. We remember falling asleep many times, not known for how long, when we woke we were not sure if we had moved. It was once we woke with water and sand beneath us we became awear OF us, it was then we were in Exilis. a prison for all those who may be lost in the void.//
**The final Frontier** \\
//Looking down into the abyssal lake We sometimes see the stars, they are like the ones in the void but full of life and majesty, We wish to go there, explore the depths of the sky and what's beyond. Its impossible for us at the moment, we can barely control getting thrown about different dimensions. Perhaps one day, We will have enough power to leave the ground and fly through the endless sky in search of new worlds and new stars.//
**Favorite snack** \\
//The higher intelligence creatures are far more desirable then any large prey, that being said if We were to have a large intelligent creature would be even better still. Our common pick is Mindflayers, We have unique abilities that directly counter many Ilithid abilities. they don't even know were are in the hive until direct line of sight is made. We have been compared to __NeoLithids__ a creature of Ilithid nature that's said to be the living omen of any Ilithid Pod. We quite like being compared to an Omen. Mad wizards, Liches and any other intelligent creature that would cause normal mortals harm is often Our easiest prey, Most leaders and tribes care not for the death of the local Lich.//
**My Lovely Children** \\
//Those i devour are rebirthed into new life. They are We am I. My children are We yet I refer to them as Children, lesser that We. They act as i will and think what i feel yet We see them as different. Perhaps this is what a primal desire is. Instinct to have others aside from yourself. it is intriguing to birth those who think for themselves, they are We but when spoken to they often call themselves. //
**Cult followings** \\
//Some Mortals do not even need to be under Our influence to praise and follow. Most mortals seem to be attracted to the unknown, especially if the unknown is powerful. We are no God,..Or perhaps we could be. To ascend to God hood may ascend us up into the sky we crave to explore so much. We do not care for cults they have not felt our presence. But they are entertaining and We do not seek to remove them, they will join Us when the time is right.//
====Virus====
The Virus is all and one. One singular being, a hive mind of sorts. Its The hive group is called "The Garden"
The Virus infects all organic matter and only infects living things. Corpses, dead wood and similar are not effected as well as metal, stone and other manufactured things including constructs. These materials may still be creeped and covered but by clearing away the infection the corpse or other material will still be intact.
It colours what ever it infects various shades of pink and purple. Infection spreads by contact and can creep up to 2ft every day in optimal conditions. \\
It is halted by direct sunlight and early seeds may be burned away with fire.
A living creature upon infection the target has 1 D12+3 days to get rid of it or become part of the garden, Infection is not noticeable during this period but can be detected via spells such as //Detect poison and Disease// if the creature wasn't made away of the infection when they were infected. \\
*After this grace period, in the first week you are unable to eat and when you do you throw it back up in a black spew that wriggles and writhes on its own, you will starve but still be unable to eat. disadvantage on Con saves.
*Further days later you are unable to control your body at times. before your turn roll a D20, on an Odd number the DM decides your turn. \\
*In your last days before your mind is lost to the virus your body will start to morph and mutate, it may be as mild as a complexation change or as major as deforming into something unrecognizable. the creature is awear of itself for a few more days after this until its mind and soul are completely lost to Livion.
The whole infection takes 1 month to complete give or take a few days.
The personification of Livion. A Draconic creature naturally spreads the virus up to a mile in radians around her, no contact needed. Creatures may make an Intelligence saving throw of (DC 5) to ward off the infection when in this range. this DC will increase by 1 for every 12 hours the creature stays within range. and has a refresh period of 72 hours.
The virus prays on intelligence. Causing madness in mortals and bending them to Livion will to spread, infect and multiply. This causes cults of sorts praising Livion as the great uniter.
