retsuden | corruption & beasthood

LOW-LEVEL CORRUPTION

Sasuke will begin to show signs of depression and isolation. He will lose any warmth that he has managed to gather over the years, becoming colder, more prone to snapping at others, and reverting to the personality he held before leaving Konoha as a child. The only people he will show any kindness to are his closest friends. He will be even more quiet than usual and prone to disappearing for lengthier stretches of time without any communication, even to his housemates. He will start to train harder and become obsessed with the idea of needing to be stronger.

MID-LEVEL CORRUPTION

Sasuke's feelings will become even more shut down. Where he was at least warm to those he was close to, now he will be cold and cruel to everyone around him. He will start to sleep less and be more prone to violent outbursts. His sharingan will be active nearly non-stop and he will start to bleed from his eyes frequently because of it. He will start to lose control of his ocular jutsus, causing him to unintentionally live people's memories and/or dreams in hyper-realistic flashes, as well as causing others to get caught in vivid hallucinations. These hallucinations can either be their worst fears coming to life or his unintentionally sharing his own worst memories with them. (OOC permission required for this.)

HIGH-LEVEL CORRUPTION

Sasuke's powers will become even less controlled and he will start to unintentionally drain the life force/chakra from any person he touches, even if it's through cloth. His skin will start to become covered in black marks similar to the curse mark he got from Orochimaru. The skin underneath the black marks will look charred and flakey, like his skin was held under a flame. He will be more prone to hysterical fits of laughter before physically lashing out at people. His grip on reality will become more skewed, colored by paranoia and an inner rage he can't seem to quiet. Eventually the marks will start to bleed together until all of his skin is a solid, charcoal black and the cracks on the surface will become heated, glowing like embers.

BEASTHOOD

The black skin of Sasuke's body will begin to peel before his form will twist and expand, quickly burning away his human form and turning him into a large fire snake. He will have deep black scales with fire coming out from underneath and several, glowing eyes across his body to be able to see everything around him. He will radiate a fury that burns as hot as the flames inside of him, causing anyone who gets too close to be overcome with their own self-destructive rage. Sasuke can be talked down from this form, usually with powerful speeches about friendship and love. Affirming and validating his anger will allow people to get closer to him. If someone can keep him still long enough and place their hand in the center of his head, he will also return back to his human form.
