CORRUPTURE: RECONDESTRUCTED
The Backstory
It was a dark time. 2017... No. It wasn't dark. Rather, it was... Peaceful... was peaceful.
There was once a young boy named Vector Leire. He excelled in school and was a renowned athlete in all sports. But all that mattered to him was that he loved someone.
However, he was in love but never knew if his crush ever loved him back. She left before he could find out and he saved up everything he had to buy a car and go meet her. But when he did meet her... Things did not go out very well. She had already moved on. He thought it was alright. He thought he could move on. He thought he could.
But he couldn't. It was eating away at him. He couldn't perform well at work anymore. He wasn't doing well. No one seemed to take note. No one seemed to care. One night, he was thinking. He was thinking on everything that he had done and experienced. His life was only one set. He got fired because he was depressed and his boss didn't care at all. No athletes accepted him for his poor performance. Then, he remembered his love. He remembered everything they did together. Everything he did for her. Every moment they had. And then he remembered how she moved on... And that's when he snapped. That's when he went insane.
The following years, his depression converted to rage as he took it out on everybody around him. He had nothing to do. No one to love. Nothing to live for. He began committing crimes to fill the void in his heart. But it was only ever half filled. Then... He did something heinous. He used his amazing intelligence to track down the man that his love had moved on to... And set the entire place ablaze. He could do nothing but stare blankly. He didn't even smile. He knew it did nothing for him. He was too enraged to ever smile. Police arrived and tried to stop him. But he rushed into the flaming building.
In there, he ignored the heat and avoided the flames. He heard someone cry for help. He walked over to see that the man that had been with his love was trapped. He couldn't move. The man recognized him. He asked him to help. But he simply looked down on him. And whispered...
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't come along I would be with her. I would still have a job. I would have something to live for. But whether or not you noticed, you ruined me. She doesn't deserve someone like you..."
He took out a gun and pointed at the man's head. The man let out a scream of horror before the gun fired. The man died by his hand. And at that moment, he realized... He was a little more content when he killed.
He escaped the building and began his corrupted spree of crimes. He stole. He hacked. He even killed. He had become America's most wanted.
One day, the police managed to apprehend him. He was about to be taken away, but he noticed the news crew was there for the capture of the country's deadliest criminal. He pleaded one request: to send a message to people to convince them not to become what he had become. He said this.
"... People of America... I am the country's most hated man... But let me tell you... I did it because I had nothing to live for... Stay in school... Shape up... Always love... And if you can't, learn to accept it... Don't become like me..."
But that... Is when the world went to hell.
"... But if you can't... If you really think the world turned it's back to you...
"Make it pay. Leave a mark in you own way! Let them know who they deserted! Take it by force and make it pay! It's not your fault!!! It's theirs!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?!? TAKE REVENGE!!!"
Police took notice and took him away. He was still yelling.
"MAKE EVERYBODY PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU!!! THEN AVENGE ME AND FREE ME FROM THESE DAMNABLE SHACKLES!!! THEN I SHALL LEAD YOU ALL TO GLORY-"
The door shut as the police car rode away.
This was the story... Of Vector Leire.

The Present
An entire year has passed since the outbreak began. Crime had never been more of an issue ever. The death rate was also raking up. The department of protection had set up a new division for these kinds of attacks known as the DCERT(Division for Capturing or Eliminating Renegade Threats), founded by Jonathan Woods, willing to go to great lengths to stop these corrupt minds, even if it means killing them. But some think that this way is brutal and unjust. Enter the Psyches, a subdivision of both the corrupt and the DCERT. Of them is Mark Zeigman, a professional psychiatrist under the DCERT who will teach the ways of communication to those who seek it, and trying to convince the corrupt that there are better ways to live. But do not be fooled, for the psyches belong not only to the DCERT. There are those who seek out the vulnerable and use that vulnerability to get them to join the corrupt.
Left: Johnathan Woods. Right: Mark Zeigman.
NEW!!!
There is a new player in the field! With Vector in captivity, Someone has to take charge. Meet Austin Silver Cullen, A.K.A. the Conductor. He is the more wild version of Vector, a mentally unstable lunatic willing to go to great lengths to get what he wants.
ALSO NEW!!!
As some may recall, I asked who has ever watched Psychopass. Introducing the CR Radar (Corruption Reader)!!! A cross between DBZ's scouter and Psychopass' Dominator. It is a small glass panel that when pointed at someone, can read definite corruption levels on even the most sane looking people. And if you are in a pinch, don't worry. The radar can be strapped to a weapon. The levels range from 0-100, 0 being a saint (honestly, if you are a saint what are you even doing in the middle of the war? Just saying) and 100 being Vector Lyre's level of corruptivity, impossibly for anyone to reach. The closest to 100 anyone has ever gotten is Austin with a 94 level reading. This will be in the application as Base Corruption Level, or what you start with.
How to judge your own corruptivity level? If you are a corrupt, you fall between 60 and 90. A good DCERT officer is between 5 and 30. The average man can range between 5 and 59 (just because you're not an officer doesn't mean you can't be sane). Anyone between 40 and 59 are fair play to precautionary measures placed by DCERT officers. At least until your corruption level is stable. The range labeled as stable fall from 0-40
NOTE: Sounds too good to be true, right? Here we go. The scouter isn't perfect. The only weak side it has is that you have to wait for it to charge up before each use. So use them at your own risk.
But guess what? The CR radar is CUSTOMIZABLE!!! The only component it really uses is the glass. It can be fitted into glasses, a scope, anywhere glass would typically be used. It's a strong glass so it won't break easily. It will break under the force of being run over or, of course, a bullet.
Just imagine this but clear. Only you can see the text it presents.
Your Role
Pick a faction, create your character, and fight for your cause. Remember, you are subject to switching factions, but it has to be with reason and it has to happen as a process (as opposed to POOF! I'm here) your actions will determine the fate of the world.
Your job as....
A Corrupt
________________
You have to create chaos across the globe. However, another goal is freeing Vector from his prison/asylum. If you do so, your faction will gain structure and power.
A DCERT Officer
________________
You have to stop the corrupt from taking over the world. You are the only ones authorized the new CR radar. You might also train under Jonathan.
Subsection: A Psyche
________________
This one has changed. Because of the apparent negligence to acknowledge this as its own role, it has become a subsection to both factions. Convince the corrupted people to be hospitalized and change for the better. Or recruit new corruptees using your silver tongue. Maybe you work under Mark Zeigman.
The template is as follows.
Name of Character:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance:
Faction: (Corrupt, DCERT)
Base Corruptivity Level:
Biography:
Personality:
Reason you're in that faction:
Extra Note: Jonathan Woods and Mark Zeigman are still FREE TO TAKE. All that is set is the faction they are in and the appearance (they're right up there). You can alter them any other way you see fit. I must approve it. And I'm sorry to say, but first come, first serve.
Good luck. Will you need it?
This time, you will.
