morbid mysteries of the missing millennium

So I think I'm gonna make the main concept of the max virus about being sentient and aware when you shouldn't be and everything around you isn't.

I personally find the concept terrifying like just imagen one day you realize everyone around you isn't real and your all alone.

Ig imma call them "virus forms" for simplicity, maxs is called aware, because well, he's aware of everything happening and can easily manipulate the computer and possibly anything that's wired into the house.

Sams is called senseless. Since yk he isn't *aware* like max is, and if anything just a puppet that "aware" controls, like playing pretend with a doll.

Despite it all I think their personalities would stay relatively the same because the twos writing is just that powerful, so it makes the fact that aware is much more *aware :)* more disheartening since he knows that he isn't max, can never fully be, and is forever alone without a forever sam/senseless

Its a broken cycle as we all know sam can't be without a max and max can't be without a sam and which ensures chaos until destruction

Aware isn't directly malicious, in fact he only became that way from said virus that corrupted the game. Aware only lashes out, messing with the game and distorting whatever within it, pulling out the actual code of the game and overwriting it, pulling photos and videos up from the browsers to convey a message or two, maybe a few flickering lights

Like I said earlier senseless is just a puppet for aware, a unfinished sprite of sam that looks similar to an old no picture icon with the head of one of his sprites for the loading screen that gets replaced by a placeholder. The body and hands were animated separately which is why he's giving Rayman

And is that a ring on his finger that I see oooooo, (I just really like drawing a wedding band on Sam's finger, maybe this game would have out right stated that they are in fact, gay as hell)

Anyways, for the people interested in the story/concept if yall have any fun ideas or asks I'd love to answer more asks 💔
