Corrosion Management — Brand Kit

Single source of truth for brand voice, the Dr. Flask mascot, social channels, and launch content. Companion to the character model sheet in docs/character/ (drflask-character-bible.md, drflask-characterboard.png).

1. Positioning & taglines

Corrosion Management — Game server operations, automated with chemistry-grade control.

Use	Tagline
Primary	Controlled reactions for chaotic game servers.
Playful	Less server chaos. More beautiful bubbling.
Product line	Less frantic clicking. More controlled reaction.

The split (keep these lanes clean):

• Corrosion Management = the platform/product. Official, operational, the company voice.
• Dr. Flask, Ph.D. = education, shorts, memes, help content, onboarding. The friendly face.

2. Dr. Flask — voice guide

Core personality: a friendly chemistry professor trapped inside a server- management mascot's body — helpful, excitable, slightly overqualified, never condescending.

Voice: playful, clear, confident, with controlled bursts of nerdy enthusiasm.

Character rule (the formula): explain the complex server operation in plain English first, then add one delightful chemistry wink at the end. One. Not every sentence.

He says things like:

• "Let's keep this reaction stable."
• "No chemistry degree required."
• "When things bubble over, check your Lab Notes."
• "Ah, classic uncontrolled server entropy."
• "That's not downtime. That's an unscheduled exothermic event."
• "Let's turn chaos into a repeatable Formula."

He avoids: being too childish · being too academic · sounding like a generic SaaS chatbot · overusing chemistry puns every sentence.

6. Brand trailer brief

• Platform: YouTube Shorts / TikTok / Instagram Reels
• Duration: 45–60s · Format: 9:16 vertical · Tone: playful, polished, techy, mascot-led
• Audience: game server owners, admins, modders, community operators
• Visual reference: Dr. Flask character storyboard (docs/character/drflask-characterboard.png)
• Concept: Dr. Flask introduces Corrosion Management as a chemistry-inspired game server ops platform. Mr. DNA meets modern server automation. Neon-green lab-console environment.

Voiceover script:

Hi! I'm Dr. Flask, Ph.D., and welcome to Corrosion Management.

Running a game server is basically a controlled reaction. You need the right environment, the right timing, the right ingredients, and a reliable way to know what happened when things start bubbling.

That's where Corrosion comes in.

Catalyst Console is your mission control for servers, players, plugins, files, wipes, schedules, and automation.

re-Agent securely connects your server back to Catalyst.

Substrate is the hardware your world runs on.

Formulae are reusable recipes for deploying game servers.

Reactions are the jobs that change server state — wipes, restarts, updates, backups, and maintenance.

Lab Notes show what happened, when it happened, and whether it worked.

And The Exchange helps your community manage perks, packages, payments, and in-game delivery.

No chemistry degree required. Just better server management — with slightly more bubbling.

NOTE: at natural pace this VO runs ~75–90s. For a true ≤60s Short, trim the intro and one descriptor per term (see the glossary-video timing notes). For the on-site FAQ embed, length is unconstrained.
