Welcome back! In this chapter, we are focusing solely on the character profiles. Chapters D-7 to D-1 are all profiles, but there also is some information hidden in code! Additionally, I will explain certain concepts of some of the stuff on the profiles as well.
Let's start with the concepts! Each member has their own specific color which is written out in numbers. If you google the numbers with the hashtag, the color pops up! The colors of the members shows up in polls and when you speak to them. For example, here is a quick screenshot of what it looks like when I asked to speak to Jungkook!
Us Anomalies have our own color too! Our color is #d8bfd8, which is a light purple! The discord server all agreed on the color as well. Our flower and the name of the color is Thistle, btw (;
Look it's me!
Next, let's talk about the information given! Each character gives specific information. For example, Namjoon gives out information on directions. To gain information, certain fruits are used and exchanged. One anomaly in our server gave Namjoon a pear in order for him to tell us about the pier (this anomaly did not act alone, as we all agreed on it.) Each member has their own fruit that can be exchanged. Here is what we know so far:
• Pears: Namjoon
• Strawberries: Hoseok
• Tangerines: Yoongi
• Peaches: Jimin
• Apples: Jin
• Cherries: Jungkook
• Grapes: Taehyung
I do not recommend acting alone when exchanging fruits for information. Some members of our discord have additional fruits, but for safety reasons I will not disclose what fruits we have.
Unfortunately, we are not sure what the floors mean yet. This will most likely be implemented when the game starts, which will be soon. However, floors are mentioned in Lea's dream. I highly recommend reading about it on her Twitter. She commented the link of it in the Announcement chapter!
The flowers of each member are their birth flowers. The only thing we know about it is that is has something to do about trust. I am unsure if it is an attainable object or not.
Favorite places is kind of obvious. It is a good thing to ask about when speaking to characters. They each have their own special reason for liking a particular place.
Who means the most of them is also obvious. Keep in mind that it is not always romantic, even though some of them are. This is also a good thing to ask characters about!
Okay onto the actual profiles!
♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎
In chapter D-7, the character we obtain is Taehyung. There is nothing particularly special about his profile. His name is obvious and no real information is coded. However, the words on his picture, "Correct reality was not found", is very important. It alludes a lot to his character and the story.
In chapter D-6 we get Jimin's profile. The only things that is coded is his color, which is shown as:
This reads as #ff8737, which is orange. This is actually not in code. I thought it was, but according to Lea it's not. The whole time I thought Jimin's color was different. ;-;
Moving on, D-5 is Yoongi's chapter, and his favorite place is coded. Here is what it looks like in CORRUPT:
The Caesar code is used throughout the entire CORRUPT book. For the Caesar code, all we need to do is add three. For example, let's do Z. For Z, it would go a (+1), b (+1), then c (+1). Therefore, Z transforms into C. For e, it would go f, g, h. Fully uncoded, Yoongi's favorite place is the cherry blossom tree. It is possible to use an online decoder, but it's fun doing it by hand!
In D-4, we come across Jin's profile. His floor number is coded. It looks like so:
By using the same Caesar code, you count forward three. For Q, it would go r, s, t. When uncoded, it is thirteen.
D-3 is Hoseok's profile! The person who means the most to him is coded.
I think everyone knows the gist by now! M becomes p, and the whole thing spells out PARKJIMIN.
Ah, here we go again! D-2 is Namjoon! Namjoon's flower is in code:
Caesar code again! Z becomes c, and so on. This will actually also be touched upon in Jungkook's profile. But decoded, the flower is Clematis.
Phew, last one! This last one is my bestie Jungkook in D-1, and the information he gives out is in code.
This is actually a privatter, and fortunately, the numbers are not encoded. If you insert the link, which is https://privatter.net/p/730082 , we come across this:
We already decoded the flower for Namjoon earlier, yay! If we enter "Clematis", we are met...with another encoded phrase.
It is, wow surprise! The Caesar code! Z becomes c, and decoded it spells out "computer simulation info". I asked Jungkook what this meant, and here is what he said:
♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎
That is it for now! Please leave any comments if you are confused and want us to clarify anything! Most of the things encoded in the chapters will be decoded by other people, but I wanted to teach everyone the code in case you want to try it out for yourself. I will leave everyone off with a collage I made of the characters flowers that the author, Lea, approved of!
The additional profile stats that we found will be on the privatter chapter that is in the works! Thank you everyone, and let's continue to have fun together! <33
