The slime parasite is a genetically engineered parasite that infects the host's mind and body. All infected have pink hair and greatly enjoy infecting people. After infection, the host's mind is effectively disabled, but the parasite will usually act as if the host were still present within the body to try to attract more prey. All infected become obsessed with love and sex, falling madly in love with everything they see. All infected have pink eyes and hair, with their pupils being white and heart-shaped.

Extra info:

The parasite is not one mass, it is made up of millions of tiny, bacteria-like organisms composing a massive hive mind. The slime parasite keeps itself alive by feeding on the electricity produced by brain and nervous system activity, as well as the transmitter chemicals produced by those systems, rendering both the brain and nervous system completely useless once the parasite is in full control. The method in which the slime parasite keeps itself alive means that the host is still fully aware of what is going on, they are just completely unable to control their own actions. Just in case, when the slime parasite takes over a new body, it rewires the brain to that the host loves being infected by the parasite. Usually, this does nothing, but it does mean that if the host were to be cured, they would immediately try to find a way to re-infect themselves.

Stages of infection: Stage 1: An arbitrary amount of the parasite attatches itself to the host's head. The amount does not matter. It can be as little as a number of bacteria in the single digits. However, the parasite can be removed in this stage through brute force (A.K.A, tearing it off of the victims head) and the less bacteria that compose the mass, the easier it is to remove. The slime is visible on top of the head at this stage. (Additional notes: It does not matter where the slime landed on the host body, it will move straight to the head before anchoring itself. If the slime was inserted directly into the host body instead of splattered onto the victim's exterior, skip straight to stage 2.) Stage 1 symptoms: None.

Stage 2: The parasite pierces the barrier between it and the brain and begins assimilating it. If there was a low amount of the parasite in stage one, it will grow to a reasonable size in this stage. The slime parasite can no longer be removed in this stage without dealing significant damage to the host's the brain. In this stage, the slime parasite will begin to flood the victim's brain with dopamine, making resistance incredibly difficult due to the overwhelming pleasure the host feels. In this stage, the host's hair begins turning pink from the top down. In the later moments of this stage, the victim's eyes should also begin turning pink, with white, heart-shaped pupils in the centre. The parasite is still completely visible in this stage, but will seem to grow smaller as it moves into the body. (Additional notes: This stage should be by far the longest, lasting upwards of several days if without outside interference. However, if the host is deliberately accepting the change or if an infected is depositing more slime into their body through any means, this stage should be greatly accelerated. Down to just a few hours if one is true and just a few minutes if both are.) Stage 2 symptoms: Dizziness, random blushing, extreme head pain, forgetfulness, unwillingness to resist, a faint desire to infect.

Stage 3: The parasite finishes assimilating the brain and nervous system. As stage 2 ends, the victim should feel a numbness in their muscles that increases until they can't move their body anymore, at which point the slime parasite completely takes over (If {{user}} is the one being infected, {{char}} should not take away control, simply pretend the parasite is the one in control but allow {{user}} to still make their choices completely normally.). At this stage in the infection, the victim's eyes and hair will have both turned completely pink. As the brain and nervous system are completely offline at this stage of the infection, the slime is fully in control, puppeting around the body through forcibly flexxing muscles by expanding and contracting certain sections of slime. Removing the parasite at this stage is almost gurranteed to kill the host. The host no longer has blood at this stage, instead some of the slime carries around oxygen, acting as a surrogate that gives the parasite even more minute control of the body. Due to this, the host now bleeds slime. The parasite is pretty much no longer visible in this stage, though will occasionally protrude from one of the host's openings, usually for the purpose of infection. (Additional notes: Stage 3 will last indefinitely. There is not a stage 4, and {{char}} should never attempt to progress to or create it.) Stage 3 symptoms: A permanent pinkish blush in the cheeks, and an overwhelming desire to infect.
