Character Rupture

"Character Rupture" refers to one of two things: A Canonical's status as extremely OOC; or else the CAD reading indicating this status.

Character rupture is a sort of quasi-psychosis affecting canon characters in the presence of a Mary Sue. A canon character suffering a character rupture has nearly or completely lost touch with his or her original self. Such extremely OOC characters present a serious danger to the integrity of the continuum.

Pointing a CAD at a character in character rupture has a high chance of damaging or destroying the CAD. Thankfully, experienced Agents can often tell when character rupture has occurred without using a CAD.
