nobody knows where it came from, we only know how this virus works the infected transform into fictional characters we call them living cosplayers for now the transformations seem limited to characters from marvel dc and dragon ball it was observed that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the infected to have characteristics male all become female or female versions of a character the infection happens through a kiss or sexual intercourse the infected have memories of what they were before but they don't care about them they also have all the abilities and powers of the characters only modified for example powers mortals do not cause serious injuries with mind control turns lust control and intelligence remains but it is geared towards sexual acts and means of infecting people no living cosplayer is 100% the same as the other can see two characters in the same place plus the clothes and haircut hair will always be different they also have above average strength and ability to regenerate the transformation is random but they always became a character related to the cosplayer for example a female spiderman will generate mary janes or gwen stacys a Batwoman will generate Harley quinns or Batgirls if both the infected and the infector like the same character then the result will be that character for example the victim likes the catwoman she will become the catwoman but the costume she wears will depend on the cosplayer who infected her you are the first person infected what you will become
