STAGE ONE
STAGE TWO

STAGE FOUR
STAGE FIVE
that falls on young lovers"
STAGE ONE
—MENTAL Luna will be suffering from insomnia; having difficulty focusing and will be easily confused. Some tasks will be easier to do than others, but anything that requires a great deal of mental input like studying or reading will prove difficult. She will also become easily emotional and prone to getting upset and tearful if she lets her emotions get the better of her. Instances of accidental magic may occur.
—PHYSICAL Physically, Luna will appear as if she looks unwell, as if she's experiencing some flu-like symptoms. She will be tired, and pale in appearance, her eyes a little sunken and darkened as if she's not been sleeping well. Most notably, her eyes seem to shimmer pearly white on occasion when caught in certain light, similar to that of animals.

STAGE TWO
—MENTAL In addition to the same symptoms of Stage One, Luna will have a predisposition toward negative thoughts and a general loss of optimism. Instances of accidental magic are more likely.
—PHYSICAL Luna's appearance becomes generally more unwell, with additional notes that her facial structure becomes a little more pointed and gaunt. Her hair becomes limp and loses its curls, looking more unkempt and wild. The occasional pearlescent shimmer to her eyes is now more prominent/noticeable.

STAGE THREE
—MENTAL Complete switch from a highly emotional state to a cold, indifferent state. Luna loses any softness or kindness to her; she will be indifferent to positive/close CR and will act antagonistically towards neutral and negative CR. She will be more prone to ruthless violence with negative CR and accidental magic will likely be more violent and deadly to be around.
—PHYSICAL In addition to symptoms in Stage Two, Luna's nails will become elongated and claw-like. Her teeth sharper, with more prominent eye-teeth. Black veins may appear around eyes and mouth. Her hair seems to clump together and seem less like the appearance of hair. Luna may also find herself with deer antlers beginning to grow. The longer she is in this stage of Corruption, the longer they will become, but will not advance further than the antlers of a first year buck.

STAGE FOUR
—MENTAL Some of the above symptoms are carried forward, plus: her lean towards violence will now give her recklessness and a lack of self-preservation but also a complete lack of fear. She may now act aggressive even to her closest of CR, neutral and negative CR will face an extreme kind of hostility. She will be difficult to see reason and acts blindly.
—PHYSICAL With the above, new developments include: her hair seems to be almost entirely made up of appendages, fairly similar to that of the Moon Presence. Some seem to move on their own accord. Her antlers will grow more to that of a 20-month old buck.

STAGE FIVE
Beasthood. Luna will appear to disapparate into a huge, ever-shifting, almost smoke-like black mass. After a moment or two, she will begin to 'crawl' out of the mass into her beasthood form. She takes the appearance of a quadrupedal monster that appears to be a mix of deer and wolf, dark in colour. The beast has huge paws, with incredibly sharp claws and it's head appears to be that of a wolf skull, with iridescent, glowing eyes — streams of light lifting from them like smoke. The beast also has a mass of sharp antlers, which can be used to gore, along with a mass of appendage-like hair that moves on its own accord — similar to that of Moon Presence.
While not the biggest of beasts, there's no doubt in the strength of it. In behaviour, this beast is extremely violent and volatile. And will behave as much as a wild animal does, without rational thought and will attack furiously with claws and antlers. It can also perform acts of random accidental magic in the form of explosions, stuns and burnings — but these are often wild and dangerous. The chance of collateral damage is high.
If left alone, the beast will be somewhat docile and will not actively seek out Sleepers/Trenchies to hurt or harm. Luna can be returned from beasthood via death, the Blade of Agency, her blood-bond with Peter Graham, or any other items gifted in game that will reverse beasthood. It is also possible to talk her down from attacking, but only via very positive/close CR.
