CORRUPTION ♠ Desire to live. Archer has never truly wanted to live; only stubbornness ever kept him going. Eventually, he actively wanted to destroy his own existence. Now he has an unfamiliar desire to regain his life. It bothers and upsets him, but he can't make it go away. By extension, it raises the question that he may be able to have other desires of his own, an unfamiliar concept to him. ♠ Lowered impulse control. The corruption makes Haku's emotions and impulses stronger and his ability to resist them weaker. He's more likely to confess feelings or do something rash that he could have held back from before. ♠ Enhanced sexual desire. While in flesh and blood people the corruption causes physical hunger, in Haku as a spirit it makes him crave spiritual energy. This manifests as an increased desire for sex and an enhanced ability to feel lust in general, especially when he's running low on mana. ♠ Archer would grandiosely describe his experience with the corruption as, "I was an empty vessel, and then I was filled with rot."
OTHER ♠ Masochism. The combination of the enhanced libido from the corruption and his experience with one of the arbiters has left Haku with an intense sexual masochism. Just about any pain turns him on. ♠ Refreshed memories. Paradoxically, even as Archer loses his memories due to the mechanics of the Forest, an effect from healing has refreshed his remembrance of his early life, which had since been worn down by his miserable eternal afterlife. ♠ Enhanced sensation. The same effect that brought back his early memories has made all emotion and sensation act on him more strongly for the time being. This may fade in time.
