Mr. Virtual

Mr. Virtual is a Virtual Boy oriented EXE created by @StupendousSnart.

Biography
Mr. Virtual is an unknown malicious entity which resides within a Virtual Boy console. He somewhat resembles Mario most of the time, but with a larger, rounder body, a low hanging jaw with needle-like teeth, & small sunken eyes. His most distinct features thought are his vibrant red body, shadowed left side, & twisted, distorted smile that's essentially welded onto his face. Known for persuading & manipulating his victims into insanity and/or forcing them to end themselves in various gruesome ways, Mr. Virtual's presence has left a massive negative impact on the ones who're aware of his existence, all starting with a crime case called "The Heathers investigation."

Run by detective Thomas Anderson, the case began when a woman named Ms. Samantha reported that he had seen someone stalking her after she played a video game for the newly released Nintendo Virtual Boy. Following the report, Samantha's paranoia grew bigger as her 4 year old daughter, Charley Heathers, revealed she had an imaginary friend by the name "Mr. V" who's described appearance matched that of the stalker. After weeks of investigation, tragedy struck as Samantha had become completely unresponsive & had to be sent to a psych ward, along with her daughter catching a severe fever which ended up putting her in a hospital. But a couple weeks after the following events, the most unfortunate of the tragedies struck on March 10th, as Anderson found Samantha dead in her psych ward room. Eyes gouged out by her own hands (presumably), her face ripped & contorted to resemble a smile, & the letter V smeared onto the walls with her own blood.

Anderson, after seeing the horrible fate Samantha endured, took it upon himself to frequently visit the hospital to protect & comfort Charley from the hands of the stalker. Weeks passed, & despite Anderson's best efforts, it amounted to nothing as Charley was reported dead, her face smashed inward. After Anderson found out, he decided to play the Virtual Boy the family once played, using a pirated copy of Mario Clash since there weren't any other games available. Anderson found himself face to face looking at the Anti-Piracy screen, where he saw the face of the stalker, Mr. Virtual, looking back at him behind the Anti-Piracy text. After the encounter, Mr. Virtual was able to manifest into Anderson's head as a hallucination, inflicting him with severe paranoia, nausea, & other psychological problems. Just like the Heathers before him, Anderson was found dead outside his own office on August 21st after returning from the hospital due to nausea, his jaw completely detached from his head, & his eyes sunken into his sockets.

Ever since then, no other detectives had attempted to keep up the Heather's case, leaving Mr. Virtual's story completely book ended. Only time can tell if their saga continues from here...

Abilities

 * 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Mr. Virtual is able to manifest into the heads of those who play his console, appearing as a hallucination within their head.


 * 𝗣𝘆𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 After manifesting into a victim's head, Mr. Virtual is able to cause severe psychological distress to said victim. Whether it's nausea, paranoia, comatose, convincing them to end themselves in gruesome ways, or outright insanity, Mr. Virtual is able to do it no matter who or how strong their victim is.


 * 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Despite his base forms resembling Mario throughout, that isn't his only form, as he is able to take up any or all characters from a Virtual Boy video game. The only reason he doesn't most of the time is because he's perfectly content with resembling Mario.


 * 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 Mr. Virtual is able to Jump outside of his console & into any other game that's 32-bits or lower.

Weaknesses

 * 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 Mr. Virtual’s game jumping can only occur if he's in range of whatever console/video game he's planning to jump into.


 * 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 When Mr. Virtual shapeshifts into another character, they gain their physical attributes/weaknesses. So if he shapeshifts into a character that's really slow, he'll be really slow as well.


 * 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 Mr. Virtual is unable to attack or interact with anyone outside of his Virtual Boy unless he manipulates one of his psychologically scrambled lackeys to make them. Without any victims to manipulate, Mr. Virtual's fate is completely in the hands of the next person to get near his console.
