Sketch - Organium Gene

Today’s post is going to seem a little odd, and it’s going to have a bit of a story to it.

This is my character Gene, only he's been "infected" with something I call the "organium system".

What is organium?
Organium was something I came up with a long time ago, it's kind of like a bio-technological entity that infects living creatures, but its purpose seems to be both good and bad.
When it infects a person's body, one of the first things they will notice is that 'bits' start to appear on their body; these 'bits' start off small, like a coating on their hands and feet, odd things appearing on their body like around the eyes and ears, and the further progression starts to form things like what appear to be armor or an exoskeleton.
One of the next things that they notice is that their natural abilities or skills are greatly enhanced; so in Gene's case his stealth is even better and his ability to control ice and snow is enhanced.
Then 'upgrades' start to appear, the armor actually acts like armor, and things like the "HUD" display actually start to function and he has enhanced senses and such.

Now, this may sound like a really good thing, but organium is a parasite, it feeds off the host and indirectly controls the host. All of these "upgrades" have a limit to them, the organium doesn't let the host become stronger than it can control and doesn't overpower the host that it downright kills it.  Organium also slows down the host's aging, so it could effectively turn a creature 'immortal'.

The host has a chance to reject organium when it first enters the body, but it is a hard task since organium adapts to the host's body and starts to adapt and learn from the host before it synchs up with them. Once it's in, it becomes even harder to reject, but it is possible.

This idea is kind of like a "Borg virus" or the Guyver series, but since I knew little about the Borg and I never watched Guyver at all, so this idea came purely by accident.
Funny enough, this idea came around the time I was starting to like/understand Dragonball Z and I played in some DBZ rpgs, I had the idea of having my character infected with this in order to gain his incredible powers and strength, but with preset limits.
The idea of infecting Gene came indirectly from a dream I had many many moons ago, but since Organium is pretty nasty, I actually feel kind of bad for doing this to him. I would not say that this was 'canon', but it could be...interesting.
