__TOC__
==Appearance.==
Misused.ROM's fake form - Created by @So2007nic, Has realistic facial features such as his nose, and ears, his color palette is based off of the Super Mario Bros 2 Colors that Mario's sprite originally uses, which is Red, Yellow, and Blue. (New design is TBA!)
Misused.ROM's fake ALT - Created by @So2007nic, is more or less based on an actual sprite of Mario, with his original color palette still intact, he's more likely to look like this if you are staring at him through a computer. (New design is TBA!)
Misused.ROM's true form - Created By @Shell_x33!, is more lanky and elongated, with soulless eyes, glitchy visual effects, and is a palette swap with Yellow, Orange, and Black. (New design is TBA!)
Misused.ROM's Paper ALT - Created by @So2007nic, is more or less similar to an "In between" of his small form and fake form, It's style similar to Paper Mario games.
==Biography.==
Misused.ROM, is a demonic entity that manifested into a copy of SMB2 ROM hack. He preys on players who download his ROM hack of the game, and will attempt to pull the player in, if they lose even once. Those who lose at this copy of the game will be sucked into the game and turned into an enemy for other future players to kill. 
He challenges those who play his game with 3 playable characters, Luigi, Princess Toadstool Peach, and Toad, you play as them as you progress through the game. 
Some of the enemies in Misused.ROM's game realm can either be human victims, or regular AI. When the player kills an AI enemy they will simply fade away like regular, however enemies that are human will run away from the player in an attempt not to get killed, jumping on the enemy possesed by a human will leave behind a corpse of the enemy they were, effectively killing off that person until the next download of Misused.ROM's game. 
==Storybook RP Lore.==
Misused.ROM sits alone in the void awaiting for a new player to download his game, waiting patiently for a new plaything, when Misused.ROM notices something strange when he turns around. A blue door, standing there, seemingly put there by something, or someone. Seeing as how bizarre like this could possibly occur in his world he silently walks through to the other side, appearing in a large sandy area, cautiously he stepped out onto the sand. However, the moment he looked back the door to his game was already gone, not having a way back he wanders through the new world, searching for stars to increase his power to return to his world, keeping a low profile, being cautious and alert of his surroundings.
His victims noticing their "god's" absence leaves them wondering if they too could escape the wretched game, but without Misused.ROM, they don't really have a purpose, and they grow even more restless without a new player's guidance telling them what to do.
==Abilities/Weaknesses.==
===Abilities.===
*When Misused.ROM grabs an item off the ground, he has the power to turn said object into another object into anything he pleases, from stopwatches, potions, mushrooms, mushroom blocks, vegetables, and even enemies, basically any item in SMB2. When he does this it's usually to attack the player to prevent them from progression.
*When the player obtains 5 cherries and collects a starman power-up, Misused.ROM appears before the player and snatches the starman, using the power to distort and glitch into his true form, when this occurs the objective for the player is to return to the start of the level, Misused.ROM will chase after the player leaving the environment behind him distorted and glitchy. Once the player beats this chase segment the level resets, beginning the next level essentially causing a level skip. If Misused.ROM collects more and more starman power-ups as the player plays the game the chase segments will get harder and more difficult.
*When the player encounters a boss in the game, Misused.ROM essentially takes full control of the bosses actions, puppeteering their every actions, in an attempt to harm the player's controlled victim. Bosses cannot be controlled by real people, they're only able to control common enemies in order to keep them in their place, Misused.ROM is the god of this world after all.
*He's not a playable character, he functions more like a reoccurring enemy that will attempt to get in the player's way.
===Weaknesses.===
*Misused.ROM's biggest weakness is that he's bound to follow the rules he set for himself and his SMB2 ROM hack, he cannot automatically kill the player character, he has to play fairly towards the player. If a player beats his game there's nothing he can further do to torment said player, except congratulate them in a begrudgingly tone.
*He can't force people to download his ROM, he must wait patiently for new "playthings" as he calls them.
*He cannot interact with multiple people at once, so he must wait before pulling in someone new to play his game, it's one gameplay session per person after all.
== Trivia.== 
*Misused.ROM has the ability to change his game at will, from Legend of Zelda, Kirby, to even Sonic the hedgehog, this allows him to prey upon more players for his amusement.
*ST4R and Misused.ROM sometimes hangout together and enjoy Hot Pockets.
* His main victims Luigi, Peach, and Toad, all have one thing in common, they were Misused.ROM's first three victims, who were lucky enough to not be common enemies, but they still suffer even when nobody is playing them, like puppets they're forever to be tortured.
*Toad who was Misused.ROM's 3rd victim, was screaming so loud when he got sucked in that his mouth was removed to prevent his annoying little voice from ever escaping again.
*Misused.ROM was originally meant to be a character for a "Fake Mario Mix." and would have sung "Top Loader," he was then given more lore and was ultimately an original EXE character from that point.
*Misused.ROM has a bin in SBRP on Roblox, type in "/m bin1267" for a Misused.ROM morph!
*When Misused.ROM meets an EXE based around Sonic he isn't really fond of them like he is with horrorbrews, he's more likely to just leave them alone upon meeting with one. (When he transforms his ROM into a Sonic copy however, he will interact with EXEs more often.)
