Biological Weaponry


General Viruses

Inhalation Anthrax: $10,000 per gram

A virulent disease that primarily affects livestock. High levels of exposure will cause infection in human subjects, however the disease is non-contagious amongst humans. It is possible to infect humans through infected livestock. Less than one millionth of a gram is required to cause terminal infection with death occurring within one week.


T-2: $10,000 per 50ml

Inhalation of T-2 causes circulatory shock and reduced cardiovascular abilities. Once infected, death may occur within 12 hours. Currently, infection of T-2 can be treated successfully within the first hour of infection.


Ricin: $25,000 per gram

Ricin (Rye-sin) is a glycoprotein toxin that is most effective in ingestion, however can be delivered through inhalation. Less than one thousandth of a gram is required to kill an adult human through ingestion and it is considered to be more virulent than cobra venom. Death will occur up to 72 hours after infection. There is currently no anti-toxin for Ricin.


Saxitoxin: $80,000 per 50ml

When ingested, infection is rapid, occurring within ten minutes, depending on dose and subject. Saxitoxin is most effective in contamination of water supplies, allowing for high infection rates and guaranteed ingestion. Initial infection causes numbness, followed by paralysis. Death is caused by respiratory paralysis and can occur as swiftly as two hours after ingestion. There is currently no vaccine for Saxitoxin.


LifeWyze Custom Viruses

N-B: $5,000 per 50ml

An off-branch of Tuberculosis, N-B may be delivered through bodily fluids or ingestion, causing internal bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea. Death is caused through internal bleeding if not treated and can take up to twelve days.


Thramnilus: $45,000 per gram

Created by LifeWyze after the discovery of a new bacillus genus, B.thramnillin, Thramnilus is an expirmental viral weapon that has shown great potential. This virus infect upon contact with the skin and attacks the nervous system of the victim, causing numbness in its first stages, followed by muscle spasms, with the end stages being paralysis and organ failure. Thramnilus was terminal in 93% of cases of infection, causing death by trauma in the majority of subjects, otherwise through organ failure. Death occurs within 48 hours. Thramnilus cannot be spread through human contact, only in its airborne form. Initial studies suggest 2 milligrams is sufficient to cause terminal infection. Currently there is no vaccine for Thramnilus.

OOC: Not bad, I finally have some competition over at PRA. :D A couple of points, tho:

Breeding virii or bacteria is insanely easy. Preventing someone from doing so is for all intents and purposes impossible.
There's only one form of Anthrax, which causes all three types. The best you can do is weaponize it, which allows it to act as an aerosol, along with the standard resistance to antibiotics.

There is currently no vaccine for Ricin.
OOC: Ricin, being a toxin, would have an antidote, rather than a vaccine. Vaccines are weakened strains of a virus/bacteria, that are injected into the bloodstream and defeated by white blood cells.

Thanks for correction.
