Badware

Description:
"Badware is one of the many Entities originating from the Toolbox, and the sole culprit for the mass breakout that occurred at the T.A.S.F.
While its creation is unknown, it possesses the anomalous ability to inject a powerful virus into nearby machinery, gaining the ability to take full control of those infected machines, expanding it's own strength and influence further."

About:
Badware is one of 5 Killers in Die of Death, and is the second Killer in Die of Death. Badware is a Killer primarily centered around buffing itself with its Firewall Bypass computers. They severely buff Badware's mobility and make it a very tough threat if not dealt with accordingly.

Gender: Genderless
Pronouns: It/They

Badware is a sentient computer virus driven by malicious purposes. Badware's physical vessel is a tall figure with a black ribcage t-shirt and coils in its mechanical body. It has 2 bent pipes on its back and a spring as a neck. Its screen displays an inverted c: face, as well as binary instructions in the background, with a set of green and red buttons to its right. The monitor is white with a grey base at the bottom.
Badware's appearance is entirely robotic, having dark rectangular arms with grey hands, shoulder pads, coils, and metallic feet.

When Badware Is near a PC, the eyes change Into White Glasses. After when Badware uses Rift, it's expression briefly becomes a frown.

Swing:
Badware swipes forward with one of their mechanical arms, dealing 20 damage.
If successfully hit, this ability grants 10% progress to all PCs currently placed down.

"[IT'S CALLED HARDWARE FOR A REASON!]"

Firewall Bypass:
Badware stops in place for 1 second and creates a PC at their exact current location. When Badware is in a 50 stud radius of a computer, he will be granted the following effects:
+2.25 Runspeed
+1.5 Walkspeed
+Bolt [Ability 2] becomes significantly stronger
Badware is able to have up to 4 PCs at max. Attempting to place a new PC at 4 placed will simply destroy the oldest one and place another one down at their current location.
PCs start at 100% progress, but slowly drain down to 0% overtime. Once a PC hits 0%, it will self-destruct and disable. Badware is notified when a PC is destroyed.
In order to keep their PCs up and running, they must rely off of their other abilities in order to extend the lifetime of their PCs.
If any Civilian is in radius of a PC for more then 3 seconds, they will be highlighted to Badware.
Badware is able to be buffed by multiple PCs at a time.

"[NICE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM, WHAT WAS THAT MADE IN, LUA?]"

Bolt:
Badware stops in place for a second before bolting forward.
While Bolting, Badware loses -10 SP every 1s. Hitting 0 SP will NOT cancel the Bolt early. If Badware does not hit a target within 4 seconds while Bolting, or crashes into a wall or object, the Bolt will end and Badware will be stopped in place for 2 seconds.
Hitting a Civilian with Bolt normally will deal 20 damage, and stop Badware in place for 2 seconds.
If Badware enters PC range while bolting, the Bolts duration will have 3 seconds added onto it. Hitting a Civilian while Bolting in PC range will result in Badware forcefully grabbing the Civilian, before throwing them forward dealing a total of 25 damage.
If a Civilian hits a PC while being thrown, it will destroy the PC, deal 10 Bleed damage, and grant 40% progress to any other PCs.

"[YOU CAN'T STOP ME, YOUR NETCODE JUST MAKES ME STRONGER!]"

Rift:
Badware stops in place and enters a stance, slightly abstructing all Civilian's screens with a taunting message.
While in this stance: Badware cannot run and moves incredibly slowly. All PCs will have an icon above them, Clicking on one of these icons will have Badware perform a quick animation and teleport to the selected PC, additionally exploding it and granting Badware a short speed boost. Teleporting to a PC grants 40% progress to all PCs. If a Civilian is near the PC during the Rifts explosion, they will take 10 damage and suffer a short ragdoll.
Badware needs atleast 1 PC placed down in order to use this ability.
Recasting this ability allows them to cancel it at the cost of putting it on a 10 second cooldown.

"[I'M LIKE ONE OF THOSE POP-UPS YOU JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET RID OF!]"

Badware's pronouns are it/they.

The body Badware uses is a vessel they hacked into and stole.

Badware could be using a voice software such as SAM, as they are a machine.

If Badware was a human, their favorite food would be spaghetti.

The red and green buttons on the side of Badware's head make a silly noise when pressed.

Someone actually considered hacking Badware, but it went wrong (as expected).

Once Badware hacks into a device, you can't get it removed, due to it taking control of the entire system they hack.

Badware was created by something, but will never be able to meet, or register the fact it even had a creator to begin with.

Badware has acknowledged the other killers, but sees them all as "roadblocks" other than Killdroid, who Badware is very much so interested in Infecting, but can't get past Killdroid's complex firewall.

All of the canon Badware skins fall under one Hivemind, working together as one, the original Badware being the leader of it all, while the skins are "peons", accomplishing their tasks with their specific design.

Badware can infect most if not anything "tech" related, stuff like electric cars can be infected, most machines that run on simple algorithms or loop codes, phones, etc etc. It is compatible with nearly anything.

Badware doesn't really have any connections, as it's much more focused on achieving their goal, its what they were made for after all.

If someone willingly made them a more powerful machine to use, since the current body for Badware is actually significantly weaker compared something it had prior, that someone could be able to "bargin" with it, making them like the person to an extent. Other than that, they're rather spiteful and full of themself, making it rather troublesome to be around.

Badware isn't exactly social.

Badware's favorite number sequence is "112-62-881-397-278-4".

Badware can infact, run doom.

Badware can be seen as a polar opposite to Killdroid, as they don't hold grudges or have complex lists of priorities, it's rather basic, their general loop of order is just getting things done, likely by brute force.

Badware has a very basic goal in mind, simply to keep infecting more devices to grow it's sense of scale, since it functions as a hive mind. It simply executes its goal, even if that means killing those that try to stop it. It was never about power, it was about it's own influence.

Badware would be ridiculously good at Football.

If another virus like wannacry or ILOVEYOU was installed on Badware, their unique virus is able to easily override them if its installed on the same system, and can repurpose them into lesser "scripts" that it can remotely control, then sending them out to help its own goal. Every other Badware skin is a creation of this process. (OMEGAware not included)

Badware probably loves YTPs, if it has any downtime it likely binges all of the classics of old.

Badware gives bad luck.

Badware is the slowest Killer in-game at a sprint speed of 26.25.

Badware says "DANDELION" in morse code when it uses Firewall Bypass, which is the name of a virus.

Badware was the second Killer added to the game, the first being Pursuer.

Badware's Bolt Sound when starting is a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog's "Spin Dash."

Badware is most likely based off Roblox free models that, once inserted into your game, gives a "virus".
^
The screen message that appears is most likely based off an old virus that lagged your game by spamming the "Message" object that looks similar to the one Badware does.

The sound when using the Bolt ability originates from a TF2 meme, more specifically the "MeeM" meme.

Badware's HP number (1010) is a reference to binary code, a language composed of 1s and 0s that computers use.
