Traits

An attribute unique to those unfortunate souls who have come into direct contact with Husks or were stricken by Yveltal’s dark power. This condition, known as "Corruption," is very deadly; if left untreated, it spreads like a disease, consuming more and more of the victim’s body until they are claimed entirely and become a Husk themselves. While there are various ways to temporarily slow or stop the progression of the condition, including various plant-based remedies or powerful Pokemon abilities, Xerneas’s life-giving aura is the only thing that can cure it completely.

This trait presents as a shadowy flame that forever burns over part of your character like a living scar.

• The shadows are primarily black with violet undertones and can cover a much as 70% of your character’s body. Glowing black and purple orbs can optionally drift off of the character like embers. Note that, however, these flames give off very minimal light, even in pure darkness.
• It can completely cover a limb such as an ear or arm, but it cannot form a new shape and does not replace the limb entirely. This is a flame that covers the body, not substitutes it. 
• As to not be confused with the Wraith subtype, if the flame is covering an eye, there should be no visible eye underneath, not even a pinprick. Similarly, the trait should distinctly resemble flames, not any kind of goo or tar-like substance - as in, the direction of the trait should be going upwards like fire, never leaking or dripping like liquid.
• The character should not look as though they are surrounded by an aura; this is limited to Pokemon with the Shadow-type trait.
• If your character has this trait, then there MUST be some kind of lore/backstory reason that they obtained it, and it MUST be through one of the following ways:
  • being attacked or having direct contact with a Husk (the lifeless, zombie-like creatures that primarily roam Oblivia)
  • having an encounter with Yveltal's herald or Yveltal himself in which Oblivion Wing was used on your character.
    • If choosing this option, speak with Staarbytes (@vesperial on discord) about your ideas first!
