Mr. Virtual

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

Appearance
Mr. Virtual will normally take the form of Mario, but his proportions are extremely exaggerated, his limbs now being extremely elongated, and his smile being widened into a grotesque grin, he has small red eyes with large hollow sockets, also much like Mario, he sports a red cap, with the difference of the Emblem containing a V rather than a M, along with Mario's iconic overalls, his undershirt and shoes are a dark shade of red, whilst his dungarees and gloves are simply ordinary red. He has jet black long hair which is hidden within his hat.

Due to his inhabitation of the Virtual boy, all aspects of his body are a shade of red, his entire right side is engulfed in shadow, the only exception this is his gloves, that remain uncovered.

His entire body is wrinkled in texture, giving a feeling much similar to that of skin, this also applies to the clothing he sports.

Biography
Mr. Virtual was once a circus performer and contortionist simply under the name of "V", he lived a life of struggle and torment before one day he snaps, burning down the circus and watching those he knew die before his very eyes, the screams of his peers caused him a sense of pure euphoria, and this leads him down a life of crime, becoming a serial killer once again under the alias of "V", his killings would involve him mutilating his victims in various ways, and carving a large V into their chests before hiding them in undisclosed locations.

His killings caught the attention of Detective Thomas Anderson, who had immediately took action in hunting down the psychopath, who, after months of investigation, would eventually be caught in May 13th, 1995, the chase would lead the detective and V into the E3 currently being held, where V would be shot dead, collapsing in the nintendo stall, where they would be showing of the latest "Virtual Boy" system.

Unknowning to Anderson, Vs soul would become tethered to the system in death, transforming him into a red gangly and seemingly shapeless poltergeist.

Months after his death, V takes the name "Mr. Virtual", a giant phantom which took the twisted form of Mario, having renounced his previous life to attain one singular goal, Kill Detective Anderson. He wasn't yet aware of his abilities till a unsuspecting Samantha heathers had played the very system he inhabited, this allowed V to follow her, just as he did to his previous victims, which lead him to attempting his old serial killer ways, Samantha would experience months of night terrors and unexplained paranoia, till one day, she was able to see him, and then he struck, He mutilated not her physical form, but the very soul that inhabited her body, leaving it a mangled corpse of what once was "Samantha Heathers", in doing this, he was able to replace her and tether his form to the body of Samantha, using it as a vessel, the feeling of flesh, the smell of the air, it was all familiar, but completely foreign to him at the same time, he had returned to the physical plane, and he LOVED it..

But this feeling, this vessel, it would fall short, as only mere days after he attained his new body, it would begin to rot away, the skin peeling off, the face deteriorating into a grotesque smile which matched that of his new face, and then, without any warning, he was back in the headset, he had stayed tethered to the cursed object he had died near, and he was no closer to achieving his goal, however, with the newfound knowledge of his abilities, he would just need to try again, and again, and again, until one day, Anderson would die by his hands..
