Transformation

## Introduction

Welcome to Corruption of Champions: Xianxia. This page has been built to explain the concept of transformations and their central role in the game. When the Champion of Ignam (Champion for short) first steps through that portal into Mareth, they do so completely human. Here in the land of Mareth, the demonic corruption has caused the food, water, and environment to take on different properties, all of which can have an effect on your Champion.

At any given time, the Champion's combination of body features gives them a racial score. Consuming certain items or sometimes even just touching a particular creature can cause this racial score to change by transforming these body features. At any time, you can check this score by clicking on **Appearance** -> **RacialScores**; here, you will find all the races in Mareth, and your racial score in each of them. The Champion can have many points across different races at once. For example, something as common as having a human-type face gives you +1 to the Bee and Harpy racial scores. In Xianxia, the body is divided up into many different parts, each of which can have their own transformation. These parts are:

* Hair
* Face
* Eyes
* Tongue
* Ears
* Arms
* Lower Body
* Rear Body
* Skin
* Patterns
* Antennae
* Horns
* Gills
* Wings
* Tail
* Breasts
* Vagina
* Penis
* Balls
* Special

Undergoing certain transformations can give the Champion new abilities, such as having a horse-type lower body giving you the 'Kick' ability in combat. These are known as Racial Abilities and Xianxia has many, many of these for you to discover. As you progress further into the game, you will gain greater control over these transformations, learning how to undo them or shape yourself to your liking.

So why bother worrying about your racial score? Xianxia is a complex game, with the Champion interacting a huge variety of NPCs, many interactions are hidden until the player features a certain body-type or is considered a member of their race, so it is important that you become familiar with the concept of racial scores and how to control yours. Often, the Champion will not be considered a true member of that race until they meet a certain score threshold known as a 'Tier'. These thresholds are visible in the Racial Scores menu by clicking on any of the races. An example of this is the Unicorn race, where if the Champion has a score of only 8 in this race, they are considered a Half Unicorn. If they increase their score to 18 they are now considered a Unicorn and gain the racial abilities that come with that. Increasing their score even further to 27 elevates them to True Unicorn, conferring even stronger abilities. You can imagine that to achieve these increasingly high Unicorn racial scores, the Champion is required to further transform themselves into a Unicorn - by the time they have reached a score of 27, most of, if not all, their body-features will be Unicorn ones.

Some racial score tiers or races are more difficult to attain than others, with certain item requirements or unique individuals you must seek out. For example, becoming something as powerful as an Azazel requires the Champion to defeat Lethice and even then their work is only just beginning!

## Races

In Xianxia, it is possible for the Champion to transform themselves into over a hundred different races. For a complete list of races that possess a racial score, visit the races page. If you are looking for the specific features required to increase a racial score, these can be viewed in-game using the appearance screen, or by visiting that races page on this wiki.
