Shindou

Shindou is a horrorbrew created on January 31st, 2023 by Tumblr user @deimosdotxyz. 
Now that's done, how about you let me take over for the time being?
==MY ORIGINS==
With every franchise, there will undoubtably be fans who create content for it, whether that be writing, videos, or even games. The Mario franchise is not an exception - there have been many fans who have created content for it. The recent surge of Mario-themed horror works by the fans had caused the appearance of me as a byproduct - a digital tulpa that took form from that type of content.
I reside within a ROM hack. While the "true form" of the hack is not known due to it going under many different names - as well as many different Mario games - it most commonly takes the form of a "Personalized ROM" for Super Mario 64. Naming choices like these are intentional, as my particular choice of prey is those who enjoy content of that nature.
Upon the ROM hack being played, I will adapt to the player's mind. I will alter the game to appeal to them, such as modifying level design, or even creating caricatures of other Mario characters they like, in an effort to lure them deeper into my domain. 
Eventually, after a non-specific point of time, I will decide that the "game" is "over", and take the player's soul, making them a permanent part of my world.
==MY STRENGTHS AND FLAWS==
=== MY STRENGTHS===
While my powers are limitless, knowing no bounds, there are three abilities in particular that are most commonly observed:
*Caricature Creation: As stated before, I can create caricatures of other Mario characters. This can range from characters present in the main game all the way to entirely different Mario horrorbrews. These abstract doppelgangers possess slightly less power than what they are based off of, and will dissipate after enough time.
*Body Contortion: I can stretch and bend my body to extreme lengths in order to catch my prey.
*Data Manipulation: I have complete control over my realm, being able to twist and alter it to my liking. I will often use this to my advantage, such as suddenly creating obstacles in order to catch players off-guard. Additionally, I am able to manipulate the data of digital media regarding me, such as websites or videos.
===MY FLAWS===
Players are only vulnerable to being attacked by me once the ROM is first opened. As long as you do not open the ROM I am contained in, you will be safe.
==FUN FACTS==
*I was initially a concept for a Mario Mix of Rewrite by SpringlessEcho. However, my lore is undergoing revisions in order to distance myself and become more independent.
*I can speak Japanese.
