Origin:
Two Cambridge University scientists named Dr. Clive and Dr. Warren were trying to isolate the specific neurochemicals that cause anger and excessive aggression in humans in order to develop an inhibitor that regulates anger control issues. They had developed their inhibitor but after repeated failures with human test subjects, they decided to continue research with chimpanzee test subjects until desired results where obtained. Dr.Warren had known that delivering widespread with a pill wouldn't do, neither would an aerosol. He decided that they should use a contagion as a delivery system. He located a certain genome in a strain of the Ebola virus. Using this new delivery system, the two exposed a chimpanzee to the inhibitor. However, the inhibitor mutated. In the chimpanzee, it had the opposite effect of what is was supposed to do. That is, it caused the chimpanzee to be full of uncontrollable rage. Warren had "created a rage virus."Dr. Clive was so disgusted by this that he quit. He later informed an animal rights eco-terrorist organization about the experimenting on animals and then shot himself. A group of those eco-terrorist would later break into the lab and free the infected rage filled chimpanzee. That chimpanzee attacked and infected them and Warren. From them, the rage virus spread throughout the island of Britain
Characteristics:After the virus enters the characters' bloodstream, the virus would be usually very quick to manifest itself in the victim's behavior, only 10 to 20 seconds is required for the virus symptoms to become noticeable though infection time is possibly determined by the amount of infected blood that has gotten into the bloodstream and the overall mass of the person in question. As the Human changes to Rage Victim he twitches madly in an almost Spasm Manner, this is a sad time for the human in hand as he cannot control the state he will live in or die as after the rage virus takes over his being. The virus can also pass through bodily fluids and has an almost 100% communicability rate, though it may be noted that some characters posses a hereditary immunity, allowing them to become infected with the virus without exhibiting any of its usual symptoms (save the bloodshot eyes). These characters remain carriers of the infection, and can transmit it through saliva and blood transmission. Primates are the only animals that can carry the virus
Symptoms of Infected:The Rage virus does not directly cause the death of its host, but because the host is solely focused on infecting or killing the non-Infected it causes those infected to become disinterested in self-nourishment, which will eventually cause death by starvation. Since the virus causes those infected to act with no regard for self-preservation they will not act to evade mortal danger, such as fire or chemical gas.The Infected experience spasms in the extremities, and their irises become blood red. They also vomit copious amounts of infected blood as well as violently gibbering, possibly due to their loss of control of the vocal cords. The Infected are attracted by the smells of the uninfected, or maybe just able to smell something other than their own rotten flesh. Disease, anxiety, even rage affects the way people smell. In addition, the Infected have a very pungent odor.
Carriers:
The Infected:The Infected are distinct from almost all other zombies; they are not the revived dead. Also most Zombies are generally known as creatures that desire to consume living flesh or brains. By contrast, the Infected chase non-Infected with the simple desire to kill them in a fit of rage, not necessarily to spread the virus. This characteristic is seen most clearly when the Infected make the use of tools to aid their killing of non-Infected. The Infected kill their victims in rather gruesome but clearly thought out ways, which suggests the Rage Virus merely brings out extreme anger in those infected with it, in addition to the symptoms above. While the Infected will attempt to bite their victims, it is usually as a means of either attack or to kill them (often by biting into the main arteries in their neck). They are not known to ingest any organic material, apparently due to their disregard for nourishment. Another key difference is that the Rage-infected victims are still living human beings and as such can be killed using conventional weapons that inflict fatal injuries. The Infected still have the same level of mobility as they did before becoming infected. They do possess a rudimentary sense of spatial awareness.Additionally, the adrenal gland of an infected person continually pumps adrenaline in to their system, allowing them to display extraordinary feats of strength, agility, endurance, and also to ignore wounds such as explosive amputation of limbs and immolation almost near superhuman.
