SAPRONOSIS

SAPRONOSIS is a character played by Pyro.

Appearance
A dark figure whose features, if they have any, are difficult to parse. They appear to be covered in dark purple growths or tendrils of some kind, though even that is hard to tell for certain.

Like the other two, they always carry an enchanted netherite sword.

Bio
A mysterious entity similar to, but notably not appearing alongside, FAMILIAR and ETERNITY.

Little is known about them, in part due to their very cryptic manner of communication, but they appear to be connected to eternity parasites in some way— possibly suffering from the affliction themself.

Personality
Like its fellows, very cryptic and difficult to understand.

Similar to FAMILIAR speaking in opposing twos, SAPRONOSIS tends to speak in synonymous threes: "typical, expected, knew it. you weren’t present, around, existential." Often talks about rotting, poison, spores, bodies breaking down and reforming, and a broken hourglass, among other topics.

Etymology

 * Sapronoses are a type of infectious disease caused by an organism that is able to live and reproduce in the soil or an other abiotic environment, and infects a living host directly from that environment.
 * Septicemia (the namesake of SAPRONOSIS' sword) is another term for sepsis, a bacterial infection in the blood.
