#thinker.exe

So! You know how I mentioned that Thinker.exe had supernatural energy in him? Yeah, this is one of the things he can do with it.

Derek was a small-time hacker that made a living by doing ransomware attacks and played video games on the side. When he found Thinker.exe’s game, he decided to look through its files, planning to mod it- but when he found some odd stuff there, it sent him on a hunt for information on what was up with this game. At some point, Thinker.exe decided Derek was getting way too close to information that would have hurt his mission, so he came out of the computer, stole his soul, and pulled it into the internet where he fused the hacker with his own ransomware and game data about Shadow the Hedgehog.

Calling himself Carcer, the resulting... creature now launches attacks to get money for Thinker.exe (and himself) and cripple the AI’s enemies.

Thinker.exe’s Tails, called Theodard (Theo for short; his name means watcher of people). He’s spyware that goes into someone’s computer, runs surveillance on them, and goes through their files, search history, and usage data for information to report back to Thinker.exe. He really enjoys his job and compiles reports on people sometimes just for fun.

A .exe OC I call Thinker; he was created as an experiment with the supernatural to control minds for an unknown group, but he went rogue at some point, took over his own creators, and now goes from device to device running rampant and taking control of people for no other reason than that he can/exists to.

His MO is to create commands, translate them to audio, and use that audio to imprint them onto the brain of anyone playing his game. The commands are usually something akin to “create x asset for my game” or “go find x person and talk to them.” He hasn’t learned to exert more direct control on victims, something that angers him greatly.

He does have a Tails and Knuckles, but I haven’t commissioned them yet.

Thinker.exe's Amy, A-Bot! She's a botnet he made; with every computer or mobile device he gets onto, he puts a copy of her on it and has her do things on it to make it easier for him to issue commands through it and control the owner.

She has a crush on Thinker.exe and puts up with a lot from him as a result.

Most of Thinker.exe's friends/minions are going to be based on different forms of malware.
