CORRUPTURE
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
It is now 2018. Suicide rates had gone down to zero percent. Why? Because they became too busy making the world pay. 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 this war isn't just for them. Many people have decided to stand up. These are known as the Psyches: people who will try to communicate with the corrupted to talk them back to sense. Of them is Mark Zeigman, a professional psychiatrist who will teach the ways of communication to those who seek it.

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 might also train under Jonathan.
A Psyche
________________
You do as you wish. Convince the corrupted people you want. Perhaps you knew them? Or maybe you work under Mark
