Sineater

A member of one of the Races of Man who has been corrupted by Taint but mostly retained their human appearance, Sineaters commonly possess mentalities akin to those of Monsters and special abilities and mutations that make them more akin to Monsters and allow them to survive in the sorts of conditions Monsters thrive in. Throughout Gaea's history, Sineaters have been seen as the enemies of mankind, second only to the Monsters themselves, for they are those individuals who have betrayed their people to serve the Overlord, whether voluntarily or not. Sineaters whose values, their morals, ethics, and sensibilities, remain completely unchanged from when they were uncorrupted are most commonly already close to the nature of a Monster to begin with... or are possessed of an extraordinary will and sense of self. There are many, especially in the modern day, who are only slightly changed by this process and can nearly pass as ordinary people, but the truth is that even the most stalwart of souls often finds themselves more open to the sorts of social and sexual norms of Monsters than of mankind.
In the modern era, Sineaters most commonly embody the emotional qualities of Lust, Whimsy, Greed, Jealousy, and Dedication, though they have historically most commonly represented Anger, Hatred, Fear, and Despair. Sineaters are one of the two forms of Corruption that can befall men and women who are overcome by Taint, with the other being transformation into a Monster. Male Sineaters are much more common than female ones in the current era, as the particular Mana of the current Overlord is very well-suited to transforming women into Monsters, so that only those who can wholeheartedly reject becoming a Monster become Sineaters instead, whereas men are less likely to be transformed into Monsters unless they are exceptionally compatible with the infecting Mana or deeply desire to be a Monster, to abandon their humanity.
