Why do they have to be corrupted to explain why they're Aquarian in nature? And a neglect in mechanics doesn't really seem to be mean much to anyone when, as we all say, 3/4 of the recent event space was inhabited by Corrupted.

In terms of creativity, leashing a new race to corrupted guidelines is just limiting in my opinion.

How would you explain their Aquarian nature instead? They took a dip and suddenly have fish features? It doesn't work like that and would just be means to throw a race out of nowhere, suddenly. Unlike Reapers and Apertaurus, they were hinted in the lore for a good while, whenever the Lore tips appeared, but sadly, it's not the case with fish people, as they weren't hinted at all in the current lore. Placing them as a Corrupted is one and the most viable (in my opinion) way of creating a lore of them, without the feel that they just popped out of nowhere. It could be a recent thing, you know?

Keep in mind that being a Corrupted is nowhere near the end of the world, and saying that 3/4 of the event characters there, which I know most of them weren't Corrupted at all is nothing but exaggeration. Hell, Iahsus' mood swings is actually a nice incentive to roleplay, as it provides a mood for your character to act upon it, even if slight, so I don't know much about limiting. If you do have any better ideas however, you're free to place them here, as this is a suggestion thread open for more suggestions.

As for that, Hobo, I think different traits that alter their apparence would be great, kinda similarly to how certain traits alter the debuff from Wyverntouched/Vampire bites, but in a somewhat extreme way. Then again, literally all of the Corrupted have small noticeable mutations, like Shaitans having carapaced hands like Beetles, Papilions being illusion masters, Oracles being legally blind and Umbrals being transparent at night. I'm unsure if Dev would go that far to go towards something more anthro, though. Just my thought.
Also thank you for reminding of my childhood with that movie reference. ;w;7
