In the universe he exists in, The Dark Lord had prepared for their death, building a machine called the Flactery (Flash + Phylactery <3), and preloading his data into such a machine. This machine would, upon his death, print an exact copy! Useful!

... After Showdown, The Chosen One discovers the machine, and the facility, and shuts down the building's power, putting the print on pause. His reasoning? Unknown for the time being.

2 months pass, and 2 of my friend's characters (Flix belonging to @raptorlucid and Sapphire belonging to @reachbluesky) end up discovering this location. They turn on the power, and the printer, having been stopped for 2 months, dumps the previously started cycle, displaying all its logs and print errors, before continuing to print The Dark Lord.

This 'dump cycle', filename waste_mtrl.fla, is what become Replica. They exist with a sparse few memories of the person they were meant to be (The Dark Lord), broken coding (their mission is only to destroy, now), and a whole heap of functional problems and existential crisis.

Their main abilities are, well... Replicating. Being made entirely of live print material, they passively copy the code of others around them, and learn how to use those abilities through observation- it's how they got the horns and tail! Copied from Flix. :]
