Okay, within the overall long article on reskinning Urban Shadows to fit my Divine Blood setting, I hit upon the idea of an alternate way of interpreting Corruption.

The default assumption with Corruption is that someone who has become filled up their Corruption entirely has become an evil creature that has given in to their darker natures.

However, it occurred to me that an alternate interpretation is that someone who has filled up on Corruption could have become a threat in another way, namely: they no longer stop to think about endangering their friends and contacts in order to achieve some major goal.

In other words, they’ve fully embodied the idea that the ends justifies the means and the reason they would serve as a threat is that they’d be willing to sacrifice the safety or lives of an entire neighborhood in order to stop some other threat they consider to be more important.

One example I used was Dillon from the first Predator movie who was very willing to lie to Dutch and the other mercenaries in order to get them on what he considered an important mission.

Thus, they’d become a threat because they would come with tasks for the players that may or may not be a suicide mission…or they might become reckless and go about their own crusade without caring at all who is endangered as a side-effect.

Does that sound valid?
