Mr. Virtual

Mr. Virtual is a Virtual Boy oriented EXE created by @StupendousSnart and co-owned by @PanncakePK. He is the antagonist of the upcoming horror series "Curse of the Crimson Phantom"
== Appearance ==
Mr. Virtual will normally take the form of Mario, but his proportions are extremely exaggerated, his limbs now being extremely elongated, and his smile being widened into a grotesque grin, he has small red eyes with large hollow sockets, also much like Mario, he sports a red cap, with the difference of the Emblem containing a V rather than a M, along with Mario's iconic overalls, his undershirt and shoes are a dark shade of red, whilst his dungarees and gloves are simply ordinary red. He has jet black long hair which is hidden within his hat.
Due to his inhabitation of the Virtual boy, all aspects of his body are a shade of red, his entire right side is engulfed in shadow, the only exception this is his gloves, that remain uncovered.
His entire body is wrinkled in texture, giving a feeling much similar to that of skin, this also applies to the clothing he sports.
His In-Game form is much more resembling of Mario himself and how he would appear on the Virtual Boy, with the most glaring differences being the dark, sunken in eyes and wide, toothy grin plastered on top.
In Mr. Virtual's oldest design, now called "Albert" by Snart himself, he appears much shorter and stockier, colored in a red that's slightly more pinkish in tone, with a bigger and more Mario-shaped mustache, shorter limbs, a wider jaw with thin, needle-like teeth, and more rounded boots. He also appears red on his left side more prominently, with the other side of his body sharply shaded in pure black.
In his most recent design made for Curse of The Crimson Phantom, he appears much lankier and taller than before, with harsher shading and more brighter reds being used throughout. His buttons are now pitch black, and his shoes now have a turned up point at the tips of them both. His head appears much smaller, with more realistic, human-looking eyes, and the teeth and jaw of his skeleton actually showing through. On the back of his head are long, straight strands of black hair that reach down to his lower torso, and his hat now lacks the "V" emblem, now instead having a pitch black patch where it used to be.
==Biography==
Mr. Virtual was once a circus performer and contortionist simply under the name of "V", he lived a life of struggle and torment before one day he snaps, burning down the circus and watching those he knew die before his very eyes, the screams of his peers caused him a sense of pure euphoria, and this leads him down a life of crime, becoming a serial killer once again under the alias of "V", his killings would involve him mutilating his victims in various ways, and carving a large V into their chests before hiding them in undisclosed locations.
His killings caught the attention of Detective Thomas Anderson, who had immediately took action in hunting down the psychopath, who, after months of investigation, would eventually be caught in May 13th, 1995, the chase would lead the detective and V into the E3 currently being held, where V would be shot dead, collapsing in the Nintendo stall, where they would be showing of the latest "Virtual Boy" system.
Unknowing to Anderson, V's soul would become tethered to the system in death, transforming him into a red gangly and seemingly shapeless poltergeist.
Months after his death, V takes the name "Mr. V", a giant phantom which took the twisted form of Mario, having renounced his previous life to attain one singular goal: Kill Detective Anderson. He wasn't yet aware of his abilities till a unsuspecting Samantha Heathers had played the very system he inhabited, this allowed V to follow her, just as he did to his previous victims, which lead him to attempting his old serial killer ways, Samantha would experience merely a week of night terrors and unexplained paranoia, haunted by the phantom. She saw figures down her halls, objects move on their own accord. She was the perfect first victim for V, as not too long, she broke. Allowing Mr. V to replace her soul and tether his form to the body of Samantha, using it as a vessel. The feeling of flesh, the smell of the air, it was all familiar, but completely foreign to him at the same time. He had returned to the physical plane, and he LOVED it.
Yet this feeling, this vessel, it would fall short. As only mere days after he attained his new body, it would begin to rot away. The skin peeling off, the face deteriorating into a grotesque smile which matched that of his new face, and then, without any warning, he was back in the headset. He had stayed tethered to the cursed object he had died near, and he was no closer to achieving his goal, however, with the newfound knowledge of his abilities, he would just need to try again, and again, and again, until one day, Detective Anderson would die by his hands.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
*𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻Mr. Virtual is able to manifest into the heads of those who play his console, appearing as a hallucination within their head. In this state, he cannot be harmed, nor can he harm anyone else. It's all in their head.
*𝗣sy𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻After manifesting into a victim's head, Mr. Virtual is able to cause severe psychological distress to said victim. Whether it's nausea, or paranoia, he does this to weaken them enough to take their physical form as a vessel.
*𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴Despite his base forms resembling Mario throughout, that isn't his only form, as he is able to take up any or all characters from a Virtual Boy video game. The only reason he doesn't most of the time is because he's perfectly content with resembling Mario.
*PossessionMr. Virtual is capable of completely replacing the very souls of his victims with himself, and in turn take full control of their body for his own, however, Bodies he inhabits tend to rot away as if the body were dead, meaning the possession will not last forever.ㅤ
*Object ManipulationWhen someone puts on the headset, Mr. V becomes "active" in the surrounding area, and is able to physically interact with objects, much like a poltergeist, he can open doors/cupboards, mess with electricals, and throw smaller objects around. while "inactive", he can only move the headset, placing it in areas where one would potentially pick it up as bait.
===Weaknesses ===
*𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆When Mr. Virtual shapeshifts into another character, they gain their physical attributes/weaknesses. So if he shapeshifts into a character that's really slow, he'll be really slow as well.
*𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹When Mr. Virtual takes over a body, he cannot attack anyone else through his normal means, he is completely tethered to his vessel until it dies
==Trivia== 
*Samantha died on March 10th, the same date of Mario/MAR10 day.
*Using his shapeshifting abilities, he can duplicate his eyes and teeth, morphing his face in horrific ways
*In his early life, he had a pet rat called Scamper.
*While in a vessel, he will sometimes return to the old ruins of the circus he once performed at, staying for so long that his vessel will rot away there.
*Mr. Virtual will sometimes kidnap lost children and train them to be replica V Killer's
*Mr. Virtual is the in-universe inspiration for many Creepypasta's, such as Slenderman, Jeff the Killer, and Eyeless Jack
*Mr. Virtual has be confused to be the devil many times
**This is best depicted is FuriousAntz semi-canon comic "The Night I met the Devil"
*Snart Stated that Mr. Virtual was 43 years old at the time of his death.
**If we take the year that Mr. Virtual died (1995) and subtract his age at the time (43) from that date, then it is to be believed that he possibly would have been born sometime around 1952.
