TOXINVEIN

TOXINVEIN are fragments of Diode's energy that roam the wastelands in NK's Domain. they have little in the way of sentience, though are drawn to other kinds of energy. in thier base state they are practically impossible to contain, as their disruptive properties allow them to clip through nearly any physical matter, and they're even actively conducted by metallic substances. in this form, their only directive is to seek a host. though ideally this would be another god, standard living beings are equally suitable vessels [and certainly much easier to find]

once rooted in a being, a toxinvein spreads its destabilizing properties much like a virus

once a host has been completely overtaken and destabilized, the toxinvein will search out other fully integrated hosts to merge with

though there is no known way to cure or seperate a toxinvein from its host being, they can at least be 'cheated' out of full takeover with the intervention of biotech.
