STICKY: CORRUPTION

THE CORRUPTION

SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE WORLD

The Corruption phenomenon is an unknown malady which covers 70% of the UNOVR continent. Long ago, the Corruption manifested across the region, destroying the human civilization which lived there and corrupting its local Pokemon.

The goal of UNOVR (the game) is to reclaim the entirety of the continent from the Corruption. Until cleansed (via Shrine activation or other means), all parts of the continent are Corrupted by default and are unsafe for exploration.

Players who venture into a Corruption Zone will suffer dramatic psychological effects and will eventually white out. Some unlucky players who've spent too much time in the Corruption Zone have even been infected by parasite, a sentient Trainer Subclass that proves especially difficult to remove.

Pokémon corruption can manifest in many different ways. Corrupted Pokémon may be huge and monstrous, or visibly mutated. They may be infected by plants, mushrooms, insects, or disease. They may be fusions of existing Pokemon, or dark shadows with a malicious aura, or even something unimaginable, twisted beyond recognition.

You are free to flavor and characterize any corrupted Pokémon you include in your threads as you please, based on supernatural forces, horror, or more traditional RPG monsters.

Corrupted Pokémon can not be captured and can pose a significant threat to a trainer and their Pokémon. Not much is understood about what causes Pokémon corruption, but players would do well to be cautious when dealing with these twisted creatures.

NEW! Thanks to System Admin:Bunyaa, more has been learned about the Corruption Phenomenon, which manifests as the type.

• -type Pokemon have no weaknesses and can never be hit supereffectively.
• -type moves do not cause the user strain/energy drain, and are essentially a free resource.
• Mild Corruption effects in Pokemon can be purged at a Shrine
• The Parasite subclass can equip itself to players, though upgrading this class to Tier 5 will allow it to be removed safely.
