Corruption Arc

**Debut** | TBA

**Corruption Arc** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Brishop from The Alfatatfialburj Domain, a rift in reality just outside of The Relic System.

## Appearance

Corruption Arc is a feminine, human-like alien with pale white skin. Her eyes are black with red pupils and she as dark grey hair. This hair is done up in a bun with eight offshoots that appear like spider legs. She wears a long, black dress that has a slit exposing her right leg, showing her to wear dark grey thigh high leggings and red heels. The dress has red details on the arms, waist, neck, and around the boob window. There is also a long red pattern at the bottom of the dress. Dark grey shoulder plates with two spikes each rest on the dress. The dress' sleeves also extend down her middle fingers. She wears a red, three pronged crown.

Corruption Arc wears the Simplicitrix on her crown.

## Personality

Corruption Arc brings out the darker tendencies in the user. As time goes on with using the transformation, these tendencies become worse and worse.

## Powers

* Corruption Arc utilizes dark, forbidden magic to corrupt others, getting them to turn to their darker tendencies and give in to their fears.
* Corruption Arc is immortal, incapable of being destroyed as she regenerates. Should the user be locked in the transformation, they will remain living as the immortality also applies to being incapable of dying of old age.
* Corruption Arc is able to detect lies without any issue.
* Corruption Arc can generate dark magic Homunculi to do her bidding.
* Corruption Arc can control and manipulate demons and demonic forces.
* Corruption Arc can utilize astral projection.
* The mere implication of Corruption Arc is enough to strike fear into anyone that knows enough about the species or transformation.
* Through her magic, Corruption Arc can fly and reach incredible speeds.
* Corruption Arc has enhanced strength, durability, and agility.

## Weaknesses

* Corruption Arc acts on the user's darker tendencies and is not particularly moral.
* Corruption Arc's main ability comes at a cost. The corruption magic Corruption Arc utilizes also impacts herself, corrupting her constantly as she uses it. This corruption is retained between transformations, and thusly, each time Corruption Arc and her powers are used, the transformation becomes more dangerous to use.
* The user of Corruption Arc, if they have a brain, are logical enough to be afraid to use the transformation. Furthermore, due to his fear of Salem, Alan Nomaly in particular has a difficult time with the transformation.

## Etymology

* A corruption arc is the name given to the trope of a once morally good character turning to the darker side.
* Corruption Arc's species name is a nod to Bridget Bishop, the first person to be wrongfully tried and killed during the Salem Witch Trials.
* Corruption Arc's planet name is Arabic for "The Girl in the Tower," a nod to the *RWBY* fairy tale of the same name which depicts Salem's origin story.

## Trivia

* Corruption Arc, as stated above, is an homage to Salem from *RWBY*. This is primarily evident in Corruption Arc being almost identical to the character, but her dark magic, self-corruption, fear inducement, demonic manipulation, immortality, and Homonculi generation are also all nods to Salem's abilities.
	+ Additionally, as Salem's past self bears an emblem similar to Jaune Arc (albeit more notable in *RWBY: Fairy Tales* than in the show proper), the "Arc" portion of her name has a double meaning.
* WTB suggested the inclusion of Corruption Arc's Homunculi generation. He also suggested corruption manipulation as an ability, but this wasn't included as she could simply undo her corruption if she had manipulation over the concept, which would take away from the point of the transformation.
