History
That man accepted the gifts of Lzothozsh, and grew great with power. Over the years he lost himself in the void of power. He became paranoid of his own ability to exist as he was consumed by the black goop that was his form. As a child of Lzothozsh, he adopted the name 'The Corruption'.
A portal to the Corruption was uncovered long ago. One family, the Flavaar's, sought to use it's power and set up their home nearby, claiming the land. For many years the family used the Corruption's gifts until their line dwindled. The most recent of the family is Drakus Flavaar. Another who has accepted the Corruption is Mary Bloodtear.
Then the Corruption grew tired of the isolation brought about from it's form. It shed it's power to four others and made itself mortal once more. Little did it know in this act it had actually (technicaly) impregnated the four women with it's foul spawn.
Two of them escaped with mental sufferance, one was killed (but returned) and the last became the priestess of Lzothozsh.
A new Corruption is formed to serve while Lzothozsh slumbers.
The Corruption enters the bar, a man who looks unmistakably like Drakus, though there is no pure aura flowing from his amulet which holds his cloak up. The man stalks towards the unconscious Felicia and pokes her. "Wakey wakey."
The Corruption still looked exactly like Drakus, he just seemed to have a corrupted aura, similar to that of Drakus' staff. "It's me. This is an extension of my body. I'm on my way. And I have to thank you, too. You just got me out of some worrying business."
The Corruption stands up and offers a hand to her. "It is Drakus. You sent Storm to collect me? He's a big demon, who doesn't smile. 'A woman with a crossword and a mark on her leg'. You got me out of an awkward social situation. I'll tell you about it when I arrive. For now, are you alright?"
The Corruption nods. "As I said, I'm an extension of his body. Are you alright?"
The Corruption points to the door. "And here he is."
The Corruption steps into the bar, a great feeling of discomfort and a certain thickness in the air floating around them. It was an entity of little heart and for this day, it had a simple purpose. It was usually unable to stay within the world for long, and this would be no different. Already the human form it took of Drakus was dripping black from it's finger tips. Patiently it waits for Brizriia to be available.
The Corruption cocks it's head to Genji and flicks a finger, black oil flying from his hand towards them.
The Corruption chuckles. "Do not mess with what you do not understand."
The Corruption shrugs. "That is incredibly fascinating, I assure you."
The Corruption shakes it's head. "I am not a 'bloke', nor will I help you. I'm actually incredibly busy, though it may not look it."
The Corruption tilts it's head once more. "You don't seem to understand, not even remotely. Oh, look at that, disgraceful." He shakes his head watching the scene and Brizriia.
The Corruption shrugs. "I do no kindness for anyone. Don't think you are special by me rejecting you."
The Corruption looks to Genji. "Alright, amuse me. What manner of creature are you?"
The Corruption nods. "I am the Corruption, a being made from stolen power. Originally I had no mind, but I decided I wanted one. Excuse me, I really cannot wait any longer." He steps forward, leaving black footprints where he walks despite wearing shoes, towards Brizriia. "Are you going to be much longer?"
The Corruption looks over his shoulder to Genji. "I align myself with no other."
The Corruption drags a hand in the air, a black trail catching the bottlecap. "Must everyone try to be involved in someone elses business? Honestly. It interrupts my business."
The Corruption shrugs. "Slavery is a line that needs to be crossed occasionally, for the sake of people learning."
The Corruption raises a dripping black hand. "Brizriia, I would request your attention." It would have sighed, had it been able.
The Corruption makes no motion to stop her or even defend itself. "I wish to speak on respective stock. You have something of some value to me."
The Corruption chuckles dryly, though it was just a sound. No motion came from the body. "Amusing." Another black drop comes from the hand. "I managed to Corrupt her, you know? She had no idea."
