Exetorio

Exetorio is an EXE created by @goshdangitharry on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/goshdangitharry/status/1566661629756014596?t=lcoFcxpaXXZSAQOH0B4FVw&s=19 (FoxboyFlare06 on DeviantART)https://www.deviantart.com/foxboyflare06/art/Exetorio-Ref-940667375 on March 10th, 2022.
== Appearance ==
As he's possessing Mario, Exetorio's form is generally the same as Mario's, though there are some obvious differences. His hair is more unkempt and his gloves are torn, while the buttons of his overalls have faded to a more dull color. His teeth are somewhat sharp and slightly dirty-looking. His eyes, though typically overshadowed by the brim of his hat, have one glowing red dot acting as a pupil, and also have scratches and scars all around them as well as spatters of burnt-looking blood. Most notable are the strange burn-like markings on his fingertips, bottoms of his feet, and forming a rib-like pattern around his torso.
As shown when Exetorio has his hat off, Mario's eyes are heavily cleaved and injured due to that being the way Exetorio entered the body.https://www.deviantart.com/foxboyflare06/art/WR-EXE-Alts-2-940667390
== Personality ==
Exetorio is dead-set on completing his goals, no matter how many bodies have to be piled up to do so. However, while he does not feel remorse for his actions, he does not derive any pleasure from killing either. His lack of empathy and impatience towards those who "get in his way" are what usually lead to him ending lives. Otherwise, he is actually shockingly polite and friendly to many--including his own servants and other demons. Still, he does have a god complex, and will not be afraid to casually remind people who's in charge if he feels that he is being belittled.
== Biography ==
Exetorio began his life in a void (for a lack of a better term), watching over many universes at once. He paid attention actively, getting invested in the conflicts between the plumber, the princess, and the dragon. It was a constant cycle: the dragon kidnapped the princess, the plumber ran through many lands to get her back, the dragon is defeated, rinse and repeat. However, he wasn't particularly interested in the conflict itself; rather, the drive behind it. He wondered: why fight and repeat the same thing over and over if it's always the same outcome? It was the very definition of insanity. Growing tired of the ever-repetitive war, he finally decided to step in himself.
Choosing Mario as his vessel--the plumber that always saved the princess (as he felt he would get lots of mileage out of him), he took steps to end all of the pointless fighting himself. He went after Bowser first, claiming the Koopa kingdom as his own and deciding to turn Bowser into his soldier due to his abilities and potential. He then set his sights on Princess Peach, only to be stopped by a very hesitant and scared Luigi. Exetorio had forgotten about him--it sadly seemed that many did--but despite the good fight he put up, he eventually fell. Luigi and the Princess were both turned into Exetorio's minions. Exetorio then set his sights on the rest of the world, vowing to end all of those similarly boring conflicts by whatever means necessary.
== Abilities/Weaknesses ==
=== Abilities ===
A few noteworthy ones:
* Illusions- Self-explanatory. Exetorio can create illusions to mess with his opponent/victim. (Typically, they take the form of strange, cloudy copies of himself.)
* Pyrokenesis
* Shapeshifting- Kind of. Exetorio can contort Mario's body to fit his needs. Despite the gruesome nature of it (what with the flesh and bones being stretched and broken to their limit), it doesn't harm him physically. This is mostly seen when he's angry.
*Regeneration- He can regenerate from most physical wounds--in particular, mostly those caused by himself--fairly quickly.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Kill Limit- While Exetorio's abilities can be nearly limitless, he needs to take a certain amount of lives in order to grow in power and be able to use all of them. As he does not go out of his way to kill people that are not directly against him, this is somewhat detrimental to him.
* Power Overload- If one were to force an influx of raw power from an outside source into the body (for instance, using Power Stars), it has the potential to eject Exetorio from it. From here, he will be left without a physical form, and therefore incredibly unstable and susceptible to injury. This is one way that he may be killed, but it can be extremely difficult to actually do.
* If Mario's subconscious reawakens and tries to force the demon out of his body, he can be harmed. However, Exetorio has taken steps to prevent this.
* Exetorio's eyes are a weak point. If they are hit, it is likely to harm him more.
== Trivia ==
* Exetorio was originally created to serve as a foil to Exenesis, another EXE that's part of the same series and is also a Demon of Wrath.
** If the two of them fought, there would be no winner.
* The name "Exetorio" originated from a typo made by the creator's friend.
* Exetorio only revives those that he deems as potentially powerful or helpful--in this case: Bowser, Peach, and Luigi.
* Despite fearing him, Luigi tends to hang around Exetorio due to still being attached to Mario. Exetorio doesn't mind this, even having genuine conversations with him.
*Exetorio is british.
** While testing voices for Exetorio, he was accidentally given a Brooklyn accent. GDH found it funny enough to consider giving him that accent permanently, but ultimately scrapped it.
* If Exetorio had a favorite Mario game, it'd probably be one of the N64 Mario Party games.
*Exetorio's emotions are more than likely just for show.
