TRV-653

TRV-653 is a virus bio-engineered by a company in an attempt to create a 'Miracle cure.' It's name stands for Trial Regenerative Virus. TRV-001 to TRV-652 all proved unsuccessful for various reasons, with TRV-653 being the first successful one.

They managed to give it abilities such as healing almost all wounds within mere seconds, allowing humans to survive on less than 2 hours of sleep and protect the human body from other pathogens. However, it's other symptoms have long since prevented it's release.

The TRV-653 virus kills and reuses bacteria and other viruses by consuming them, when it infects an animal cell it gives the cell all of the proteins retrieved from the pathogen it killed and makes the cell produce stem and progenitor cells, creating rapid healing.

Although unconfirmed, it has been suggested that it also is capable of using excess protein to supplement the host to prevent starvation.

The virus conserves energy by slowly deactivating none vital brain functions. When energy is about to run out the host walks up to a wall, typically in a dark area such as a cave where all non-vital parts of the brain are deactivated. The host stands perfectly still, face down head against a wall for 1-2 hours before their energy is restored. This has been compared to a 'suspended animation' state.

Despite it's healing ability it is unable to enhance the healing of flesh. This means skin will heal at the same rate it does normally.
