#corrode

Rustwind

Level 4 Evocation

A corroding gust howls through armor and steel, peeling away protection like old paint. Against this wind, even the finest craftsmanship turns to flakes and dust.

💬 What would you corrode?

Righteous anger.

It’s best kind of anger. Because it’s totally justified.

We can just let loose – with whatever we want to do to them. And we won’t be over-reacting. Because they deserve it.

If you’ve ever wondered why the John Wick films are so much fun, this is a big part of it.

But no matter how good it feels in the moment – there’s a problem with righteous anger.

Righteous anger comes with a price.

Not just the price of the initial wrong that was done to us. But also the price of letting the ones who hurt us keep hurting us.

Because that’s what it takes to keep the fire of righteous anger burning.

That wound has to stay fresh and raw. The only way to do that is if we let it keep hurting us.

That means that we’re not healing. Because part of us is still stuck in the moment when they hurt us.

When we stay stuck in that moment, it will corrode us from the inside out. And it will separate us. From other people. And from God.

We will become someone whose life revolves around the wrong that was done to us. Someone we were never meant to be.

That’s what’s behind Jesus’ answer (in today’s Gospel) to Peter’s question, “how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him?”

Because Jesus knows the price that you and I will pay for holding onto that anger. No matter how justified we are.

As Hilary of Poitiers explains, “we should cease to be angry with those who wrong us as often as the occasion for anger exists…in our case there is never a time for anger.”

Not because those who have wronged you deserve anything from you.

But because they don’t get to keep hurting you, they don’t get to make you into someone you were never meant to be.

(sidenote: im relatively new to the valorant fandom and i haven't developed corrode the most sorry about that i just wanna talk about them still)

okay so! corrode, real name rez whitfield (almost named them redfield but that might be a little on the nose for me making them a resident evil fan y'know) yeah yeah. they're from new zealand and like 28-29 that age range. anywhooooo let's get to the uh meat of it yeah yeah!

they are a radiant (well it's. complicated ill get into that some other time i haven't developed that part too much but it involves the kingdom experiment stuff y'know how it js) with the ability to produce acid and shit, which. okay to admit i generally haven't thought about gameplay mechanics for corrode as, while i have looked into quite a bit, it's hard for me to actually think it y'know. ive only thought of like a few things and they're just vague out-line-y stuff my apologies. id guess they'd prolly have like an ability that would like idk put acid on the floor and apply the decay effect (no duh (/lh) and prolly limit where other players could move but that's like around it im not all that familiar with the game-game like how that would be to play my apologies. anywho ill just get to talking about corrode's personality etc etc maybe a backstory element thingy.

so, for what i generally imagine for corrode as a character, they're generally. ill get it out of the way they're joker-like (/lh). but yeah corrode is a very weird person and a bit scary and they're quite bad with interacting with others. not mean but they'd sort of creep other people out. they're very loose with their emotions and can loose their cool very easily, along with having not the best control over their powers, which conflicts a lot with the fact that they generally try to follow any orders they're given to a t and shit. this is all more general stuff though not anything final y'know. an odd detail i immediately thought of ive mentioned was that they're a huge resident evil fan because haha the biohazard stuff and like corrode. acid. ba dum tss. also idk how to fit this in but they're an orphan and were a bit isolated in general for a good bit. SAD!
