Awakening and Corruption

AWAKENING

When your gauge reaches certain points, you Awaken for a short amount of time.

When your character awakens, it taps into the collective unconscious. Normally it becomes animalistic or elemental in nature. Unrestrained, an awakened person acts as corrupted. They attack everything and everyone around them. When Awakened, a player takes on characteristics of their style and channels energy from the collective unconscious through the music.

After a short amount of time, the power subsides and your character passes out. After each awakening, it becomes easier to become corrupted.

CORRUPTION

Any time a character awakens; it has a chance of becoming corrupted. When this happens, the player loses control of their character. The character awakens as normal, but the awakening is channeled through another style. Usually, the Awakened character will rampage and try to kill everything around it. When the awakening ends, scars on the skin to mark the event.
