JOB SYSTEM: A WIKI PAGE FOR AN ECLIPSED JRPG
“Look carefully at those around you, young one. Know their strengths, their weaknesses, yes.
More importantly, hear their lusts, their vices, and their ambitions. No one reaches beyond
themselves. And… what does a ‘self’ want if not to insert itself everywhere and for all time,
even into the others?”
– The Fetish Mother
The Job System dictates the abilities, attributes, and strategic roles of your units in Corpse-
Warm. The Job of a unit determines which weapons and attire it can equip, how large its mana
pool is, and its base Physical Attack, Finesse, Magical Attack, Necrotic Energy Pool, Speed,
Move, Climb, and Ride values. Additionally, each Job comes with a unique skillset that can later
be unlocked as a teachable secondary skillset for other units.
Jobs
Base Jobs
Child
Children are a story-locked job. The Corpsefucker and their party can only recruit Child soldiers
after the Crucifixion and the Corpsefucker’s Chastity Binding Ritual. After these events occur, a
band of Children will appear in the Alge Jungle at S1001 and E356, in a jungle grove full of
unique assets, the like the interactable weeping willows that appear laden with dew in Morning
Phases. Speak to Kinder to open the option to recruit children from the camp as soldiers for your
small army.
Children are effectively worthless in battle. They cannot wield melee weapons, long guns,
energy weapons, or big guns. They cannot utilize Necrotic Energy, offer benedictions, or inflict
maledictions. Given their relatively low base Finesse, they are limited to the only weakest
handguns and the weakest long gun, Pnin. Their only use is as meat shields and to unlock the
incredibly powerful Lolita job.
Crucifixion scene and effects: Since this job is not available until post-Crucifixion, no Children
can be crucified.
Intercourse scene and effects: Since this job is not available until after the Chastity Binding
Ritual, the Corpsefucker cannot initiate intercourse with Children. This caused some controversy
amongst fans of the series. [Editorial? See discuss page.]

Fetishist
Fetishists are item users. Their abilities depend on items that the party collects, steals, or buys.
They are a basic utility job, providing support in material ways, unlike the Plague-bearer or
Spirit Channeler jobs, which depend on the Ideal and Spiritual worlds to alter friend and foe
alike. If the player opts to make the Corpsefucker a Fetishist they will not unlock any special
abilities, but will unlock special dialogue with The Fetish Mother. They can equip certain types
of melee weapons, like staves and fishing rods.
Their unusually high Ride base stat makes them ideal for Torture Trials and Dracul Sled Race.
Fetishist zodiac signs determine which object-relations are more strongly expressed by
individual Fetishist units. [Confirmed? See discuss page.]
Crucifixion scene and effects: The Fetish Mother will refuse to crucify her followers, but she will
force them to watch the cruel treatment of their comrades. Fetishists will be bound and gagged
with their eyelids stuck open, weeping blood and pus in full view of their tortured party
members. They receive no benedictions or maledictions post-Crucifixion.

Killer
The Killer is a basic fighter-type job. They can use clubs, axes, and guns of any variety, aside
from big guns. This makes them one of the most versatile jobs in the game; it is highly
recommended that first-time players make the Corpsefucker a Killer. Killers possess an innate
Berserker ability which has a chance to trigger anytime they take damage below half of their
total HP, healing them for half of their total HP and increasing their move by 3.
For every Killer in the Corpsefucker’s party, one random named NPC within 23 hectiles will die
during a particular Night Phase. The Night Phase a particular Killer takes a life is determined by
their zodiac and their affinity or disaffinity to the available NPCs in the area. It does not matter if
the Corpsefucker is outside of Zembla. Killers will still follow the Zemblan calendar and night-
day cycle routine.
Crucifixion scene and effects: Killers will be nailed twice in each hand, spear wound in their
sides with the spear remaining. Any Killers that undergo Crucifixion will then only be able to
equip polearms but receive a 1.5 damage multiplier to basic attacks with those polearms. Killers
grin madly, whites of their eyes glaringly stark even in the limits of their 33 pixels.
Intercourse scene and effects: Intercourse with a Killer will begin in a vanilla frame: foreplay
turning into missionary sex on a cot or on a bed. However, the scene quickly devolves into a one-
on-one duel between the player character and the Killer. Once the Corpsefucker is victorious,
they unlock the Berserker ability (if they didn’t already possess it) but will no longer be able to
recruit Killer characters. If the “Killer” topic is chosen in dialogue at any point after having
intercourse with a Killer, then the Corpsefucker will respond only with “I don’t trust them” and
have nothing else to say, signaling some sense of betrayal and a grudge against all Killers.

To record is forbidden here. To archive is tantamount to the greatest blasphemy against the
Houses. Yet, I am compelled to transgress if only to make sense of what the stars whisper so
distinctly to my own ears. “Distinctly” because they mutter something different than what I am
taught, than what father dictates or professes to dictate. I hear the star mingle with the air, they
insert themselves in the folds of seamless, invisible waves of Motion, like Rest attesting to the
improbability that something moves at all.
Necromancer
Necromancers are the base magic-user class, sporting basic Necrotic Energy attacks. They
mainly specialize in offensive magic and calling forth some weak undead minions, like Skeletal
Suiciders and Zombies, but do have access to some benedictions, like Expand Gut and Rectal
Ironize, which are designed to strengthen their undead minions and allies alike. They can equip
staves and knives.
Each clock-tick a Necromancer has a chance to passively summon an undead minion, either a
Skeletal Suicider or a Zombie. The likelihood of this depends on the Necromancer’s zodiac and
the Zemblan calendar cycle. Thus, time of month and year affects battle outcomes in a large in a
party utilizing Necromancers. See a full table explaining Necromancer zodiac affinity here. [Dead
link]
Crucifixion scene and effects: Only one noticeable difference exists between Necromancer
crucifixions and other jobs’ crucifixions: their stitched mouth. Ostensibly, The Fetish Mother
orders her cadres to stitch the mouths of Necromancers to preemptively silence any possible
incantation that would free them. Post-Crucifixion, Necromancers will have their speed halved
but the NEP cost of any skills will also be halved.
Intercourse scene and effects: Necromancers will insist on using erotic, tactile wax on the
Corpsefucker, lit by dim, violet candles that emit an ochre and heavy smoke that sits upon the
ground like an immovable, unperturbable toad. The Corpsefucker will receive a permanent +50
to their NEP regardless of their job. If they are one of the Prestige classes branching off from the
Necromancer job, they will gain +1 MA anytime they are on the same field as their Necromancer
lover. This link is a hidden innate ability that some NPCs will comment on, especially if the
Corpsefucker has taken a new lover after having sex with a Necromancer. Some NPCs will
comment on the “vivacious” or “scandalous” attitude of the Corpsefucker, while others will
jokingly refer to the Necromancer unit as an enabler of their necrophilia.

Is not Rest more improbable than Motion? Is not sediment more baffling than creation or
becoming?
Such things the stars whisper in contrapunto. They move with only guile, I have learned, but
trust me they have, and that trust I shall not violate. The Houses move only to the terrestrial eye.
Their Concept is Rest. That is their greatness.
The ritual is a farce.
Plague-bearer
Plague-bearers inflict deadly status effects and maledictions on opposing units. They can wield
explosives and books. If the player makes the Corpsefucker a Plague-bearer, they will have
access to two unique skills: Leprosy and Genital Herpes. Their low base HP is compensated by
their damage done overtime, making them useful in long encounters but a liability in quick-
paced encounters.
A Plague-bearer’s zodiac sign and its relative affinity or disaffinity with another unit’s
determines the success rate of some skills. [Citation needed. See discuss page.]
Crucifixion scene and effects: Plague-bearers will be crucified upside-down. This results in a
reversal of their PA and FI scores, which is beneficial if you want to make better use of
explosive weapons.
Intercourse scene and effects: Fascinated with the body and purging, Plague-bearers will insist
that the Corpsefucker excrete feces and urine into a ritual vessel and eat the vile concoction,
commenting on the iridescence of the Corpsefucker’s urine and hardness of their stool. This
results in a temporary +40 HP bonus for the Plague-bearer.

Poet
Poets use oral skills to offer benedictions and maledictions. The accuracy of their skills depends
on their MA. If the player makes the Corpsefucker a Poet, they gain access to one unique ability:
Revolutionize. They can equip only books. Poets have the second-lowest base HP stat but can
move quite far thanks to their relatively high based Move. Their Conversion skill is the only way
to recruit opposing enemies, including monsters, to the party.
Poets appear to have been designed with a unique minigame to permanently increase the stats of
party members. The mini
game was akin to an Exquisite Corpse made up of topic keywords and played with one of the
other party members’ AI. This mechanic was dropped in favor of the intercourse effect unique to
Poet units.
Though there is dialogue, a UI element, and explicitly recognized features related to zodiac sign
in Corpse-Warm, the absence of any change in the Poets’ skill accuracy reveals that this feature
was not implemented properly. [Citation needed. See discuss page.]
Poets also are the most talkative in certain areas of the game, typically in cosmopolitan or
industrial areas, like Pazuzuland Library City 04 and Asturia Atonement Ward. Some named
NPCs request that Poet party members recite poetry for them under certain conditions, too. In
particular, any named NPC tagged as a Karmelite will request the Poet recite an impossible verse
from the Megmeldam VI. Since this is a book that you cannot obtain unless you initiate the
Crustacean Moon Tom-Tom Fugue, it is impossible to actually recite this for a Karmelite as they
will all be marked dead.
Crucifixion scene and effect: Poets are nailed to the crucifix, unclothed, and pierced with eleven
arrows. Blood slowly leaks in droplets from each arrow wound. Post-crucifixion Poets can equip
bows, an improvement from the limited weapon power of books. However, they no longer afford
a bonus after their voyeuristic intercourse scenes.
Intercourse scene and effect: Poets will not engage in intercourse with the Corpsefucker but will
instead insist on watching another party member perform fellatio on the Corpsefucker. This
results in a temporary +80 NEP bonus for the party member blowing the Corpsefucker.

I have never spoken back in turn; the stars know nothing of dialectic, no art of conversation has
graced their gaseous forms in painterly strokes of mortal auburn. Rest comes to Sleep. This is its
Concept, perhaps.
In my dream stirrings I will ask them, “Hello, can you hear me?” I will contort my tongue in
many ways just to test those far-off giants. Are they truly in Rest? If so, they will not counter me.
They will remain indifferent, and I will mime their repose by retracting the brush of my tongue, it
dripping with the wasted pigments and tints of a palette unused to the inactive white and solid
black that those stars make their dwelling-place.
Spirit Channeler
Spirit Channelers are the primary healers of parties. They channel the Necrotic Energy of the
Spiritual realm to reverse the wounds and maledictions inflicted on their allies. They can equip
fists and books. Their relatively low NEP incentivizes the player to upgrade them to a Flesh-
sculptor as soon as possible.
Crucifixion scene and
effect: Spirit channelers will be
staked to the crucifix
rather than nailed or screwed.
The staves will feature tags
with indiscernible
characters printed upon their faces.
Spirit Channelers who undergo
Crucifixion will be permanently
Undead, resulting +2 SP, +2 PA but -30 HP
permanently. Intercourse scene
and effect: They will fist and be fisted by the Corpsefucker
in intercourse. This particular scene was heavily censored outside of
Japan as the original scene features a gory depiction of anal
prolapse. Distributors felt that this might offend and court controversy in other markets. [editorial?
See discuss page.] This results in a temporary +3 PA bonus for the Spirit Channeler and a temporary -2
SP penalty for the Corpsefucker.

Cenobite
Upon reaching Levels 8, 5, and 5 in the Poet, Flesh-sculptor, and Evoker jobs, respectively, the
player can transform one unit into a Cenobite. The Cenobite is one of the strongest, if not the
strongest, job in the game. Their high NEP and high-damage skills render them a war machine in
the hands of a skilled player as their movement requires creative tactics and party synergy to
work around. They can equip big guns and

cavities of eldritch, necrotic, or diseased though they may be. However, their more powerful
skills go beyond the merely chirurgical. They can equip books and knives.

Lolita
Upon reaching Level 5 in the Child job and Level 9 in the Killer job, the player can assign a unit
the controversial [Editorial? See discuss page.] Lolita job. There are two variants of this job: the Student
and B-Style.
The Student can equip a katana, and it is the only unit in the game that can do so. The sprite
appears to be a stock Japanese schoolgirl, no older than 14.
B-Style Lolitas innately dual wield but can only equip handguns and submachine guns.
Controversially, the B-Style sprite appears to be a reference to the popular Japanese fashion
trend of the early 2000s, B-Style. This fashion trend, and the unit in Corpse-Warm, have
garnered criticism for appearing to be a form of blackface. Furthermore, some of the B-Style
Lolita’s barks seem to refer to stereotypes and tropes of African Americans from the perspective
of the Japanese developers and writers of Corpse-Warm. [Editorial? See discuss page.]
Both variants are extremely powerful units given their high base stats. They are some of the
fastest, farthest-reaching units in the game, and utilize high damage dealing weapons. Their skill
tree largely consists of having the sprite strike a pose, causing a drawn image of the Lolita in a
flirtatious, cute, or sexual pose; it has no function; this is something else which has attracted
criticism and praise from players, journalists, politicians, and media figures alike. [Editorial? See discuss
page.] Otherwise, the units’ purpose is to use basic attacks with the exceptionally strong weapons
they can equip.
Crucifixion scene and effects: Crucifixion scene and effects: Since this job is not available until
post-Crucifixion, no Lolita can be crucified.
Intercourse scene and effects: Since this job is not available until after the Chastity Binding

amongst fans of the series. [Editorial? See discuss page.]
