Briefly bringing up corruption as I've wanted to for a while. I do have a bigger drawing but I'm toggling between projects like crazy right now and I'm kinda busy.

However, I've wanted to talk about how corruption works for a while now so I quickly put this together! And no, Pots' knife isn't really THAT big haha.

So, if you've seen Pots' ref you'll see his knife has two forms. The metal form which does physical damage and then the mental knife which, surprise-surprise, does damage to the psyche and can even brainwash people. However, it's not as easy as stabbing them in the back with it and give them an order. Some manipulation and some proper good convincing is needed for the corruption to actually work. Completely removing someones good morals is difficult and so, Pots has to know the person and what their weaknesses are.

A corrupt's appearance will not change much. Only the eyes will turn pink to match Pots' corruption powers. They might change their fashion taste, though and perhaps find themselves an outfit they find fitting to their new evil selves. A corrupt will not be a complete braindead zombie, they still have (at least parts) of their personality but all their morals are gone and will happily oblige whatever Pots tells them. They don't have much of a choice as if they don't comply to his orders, they will get migraines. To help 'motivate' em a little bit, ya know. (Also to prevent them from going rogue)

If a corrupt goes long enough without complying they will eventually go completely mad and will do everything in their power to get the job done.

Corruption can be cured but it is difficult and the corrupt has to go through some proper professional therapy sessions. Not just your everyday therapy, either. As of now I imagine reminding the corrupt of who they really are (through old memories or nostalgia perhaps) and relearning them good morals. This takes a good while, up to months so you're going to need some patience and dedication to be able to pull it off. You better hope your corrupt didn't get any orders before therapy, which would make it just that more difficult..

------

That's pretty much all I have to say about corruption for now. If I come up with anything else I'll add it in here! I've always found the idea of a character confronting someone dear to them as an evil villain working for their enemy interesting. I find it interesting to see how it's dealt with since you can't really fight them as you don't want to hurt them. I'd really like to create some interesting story out of that idea!

I hope to post more lore stuff like this! I've had the craving to rant out about Bloradox stuff for a while, feels good to get it out of the system!
