Screw it, have some character corruption.
Cait is already super closer to the edge. She has been for a long, long time and is honestly teetering. She’s got people to keep her grounded. Vanxx does, Freya does, Zariel and Jexid do (she doesn’t want to end up overtaking Zar in ‘stupid things done.’) Cai is her major grounder. He’s also the reason she gets a good sleep.
If anything happened to Cai Cait would lose her mind. She’d be gone and it’d be bad. She wouldn’t be Nightmare, she wouldn’t be dragon minion. She’d just be a broken and corrupted Cait. Sio is up in the air. She’s not the ‘same’ as other Sylvari so corruption to her could be slow or invisible. She’s already hard and tough when it comes to fighting and killing, but she sees no problem with it. Her corruption would be interesting, mostly because she can’t actually ‘become’ Nightmare and I’m not sure how she’d react to big ol’ plant dragon.
Something I need to look into more. Freya... would never be corrupt, I guess. She’d change, she’d be harder and tougher and wouldn’t take shit. She wouldn’t be able to trust anyone at all and would be on her own most of the time. Just her and Hareen. She wouldn’t even trust Vanxx or Jexid. (Yes, she trusts the Asura of the company the most. They both helped her the most.)
Hell, she might even get rid of Hareen. She got her first companion pet killed, why would he be safe? He’s better off without her.
