These “Mazin” work as ransomware, but how exactly do they work as said ransomware?

Every single Mazin has a built-in purpose: a blue key within their bodies. The four rings they inhibit are an extra for their bodies [that typically work as vessels, they all have blue souls inhibiting a Mazin body] every time they churn the key and lose a life from it.

*i took the whole key thing from how ransomware has a trigger once you open the trojan and it completely bricks your device. like i took it literally yk yk. life rings and one blue key power a mazin

**majin in particular here has a pink soul rather than a blue one. #builtDifferent which explains his pink eye contrast. and also if you were to open him up internally he would have pink organs and a pink key (that comes with even more commands :D he is one in a mazillion /ref)

They can rob life rings from one another to keep endlessly living. Some Mazin don't feel as if they need to live past their fourth life so they don't mind dying, becoming a gray husk to eventually either be inhabited by another Mazin OR to be eaten. [Cannibalism]

TWISTANDSWITCH.GUI

A type of ransom gui that every Mazin has built within them. They are able to operate it by using the life key (within them) to unlock it. It can be summoned by swirling their finger twice (using their dominant hand) to then the gui appearing alongside the key.

TWISTANDSWITCH.GUI cannot be used by any non-mazin, nor can it be used without the power of a life key.

There are multiple commands on the TWISTANDSWITCH.GUI, but mostly to instill ransomware on an outside player's computer. Otherwise, there are other silly commands, mostly ones like using the power to duplicate something or getting rid of something.

otherwise for majin he just pulls that shit out of no where when he needs something to do He also has more commands heh

EXTRA MAZIN STUFF

The world looks like a bunch of game screens [mostly of sonic CD] and each thousands of screens (like, those tv isles with the hundreds of tvs] have a lock beside it. Anytime a player cracks the code for the Fun Is Infinite screen, it works a little something like this;

a Mazin is required to summon the key from their body

The Mazin has to then turn the key in the lock to trigger the ransomware

The ransomware is triggered, a Mazin loses their life and now has three remaining rings

The cycle repeats until a Mazin loses all its rings or fights another Mazin for them

It can be likely for a Mazin to regenerate their own life rings, but that's only as if they have a high amount of rings to do so; the highest rings a Mazin can wear are up to 6.

Finger rings can count

Wrist rings

Ankle OR leg rings
