LX

LX is a horrorbrew created by MX-Enthusiast. He's an unofficial Luigi counterpart to MX.
He's a malevolant entity that haunts a copy of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, disguising himself as a slightly-off version of Luigi and waiting for a potential "playmate" which he then pulls into the game to torment them for all eternity. He is Marco's tormentor, of whom he's trapped in the body of Mario after pulling the boy's soul into the game.
==Appearance==
In his False Hero form, LX resembles Luigi as he appears in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, only with large, gaping eyes, darker clothes and his mustache is longer than the actual Luigi's.
In his Pipe Crawler form, LX is slightly taller, his clothes are darker, and his skin has turned slightly paler. He also now has a highly visible mouth that usually is in the form of a grin.
In his final form, LX is much taller than before, his skin has turned white while his hair, eyes, mustache, shirt and shoes are now black. His hat and overalls are a darker shade of green than before as well.
==Personality==
LX is a demented entity who's eager to get as many "playmates" as possible in the form of trapping people's souls into the game so he can torment them for all eternity. Having existed for countless years, his murderous sadism has been building up throughout all that time, waiting to be unleashed on unsuspecting humans for personal amusement, though he is very patient and prefers the long game when it comes to attacking his victims. Specifically, he likes to ambush his victims by letting them play the game up until they lose a life, after which he strikes once their guard is down. He shows no remorse for his actions, as he has no qualms with attacking/killing children, and dismisses their innocence, claiming it will "get them nowhere".
He's also smart enough to ensure his victims have no means of fighting back against him, as he removes all powerups and coins from World 1-1.
In False Hero mode, LX acts differently. He mimics Luigi's behavior and personality, but while for the most part he plays the role of Luigi well, it's not a flawless portrayal as he's incapable of mimicking Luigi's cowardice outside of acting slightly nervous. Because of this flaw and due to preferring to ambush his potential "playmates", LX doesn't try to use it to lure in unsuspecting victims, and instead prefers to use it for messing with any victims he already has.
==Biography==
LX's background is a mystery. While unknown when exactly he came to existence, he is said to have existed long before the Earth was formed.
In October 1999, LX possessed a copy of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe that was given to a nine-year-old boy named Marco as a birthday present from his uncle Luis. Once he started playing the game, Marco noticed it was acting strangely when he accidentally lost a life by falling into a pit and the screen just cut to black with complete silence for 30 seconds. Marco tried pushing different buttons on the Game Boy Color, but nothing happened. Shortly after that, LX made his move: He extended an arm directly through the screen, snatched Marco by the neck, and strangled him to death, after which LX claimed his soul and placed it in the body of Mario.
After capturing Marco's soul, LX altered the game to give Marco infinite lives, so he would be free to hunt down the poor boy and kill him over and over again.
==Powers & Abilities==
*Spirit Physiology: LX is a very powerful spirit, making him extremely strong in terms of raw power and strength and allowing him to easily plow through anything that might stand in his path:
**Immortality: Having existed for billions of years, LX is basically immortal and cannot die from old age or get killed by any other means.
**Enhanced jump: LX can leap to very tall heights, and is capable of jumping out of what would otherwise be a bottomless pit and getting back to the surface with no issue.
**Shapeshifting: LX can change his form to anything he pleases and mainly chooses to appear as a twisted version of Luigi, that he can also alter to look less frightening.
***Sizeshifting: He can also change his size at will, allowing him to be as big as he wants.
**Soul transferal: LX can take the souls of his victims and implement them into the game itself. This allows him to put them in the vessels of characters, such as when he put Marco's soul in the body of Mario.
**Super strength: LX is an absolute juggernaut, capable of breaking through anything in his path with ease. He can charge through stacks of solid bricks and knock over pipes without sustaining any injuries of any kind.
**Video game manipulation: LX has complete control over the game, allowing him to warp the surroundings as he pleases, completely changing the layout of the levels and granting Marco immortality by giving him infinite lives.

==Trivia==
* LX shares his name with the original "D-Sides" version of MX, who was based off of Luigi's appearance in the original Super Mario Bros and had his own victim named "Mark" who served as the "D-Sides" version of Lucas. This LX is a seperate interpretation.
* Like MX, LX isn't an EXE.
* Unlike MX, who was created alongside the universe, LX came into existance billions of years after the creation of the universe, not too long before the Earth was formed. He still has existed for a long time.
* LX's victim was originally gonna be named "Marcus" before it was changed to "Marco" so the name would be the same length as Mario's.
* LX's name doesn't stand for anything and is just "LX".
* LX likes to call Marco "Superstar", similar to how MX calls Lucas "Champ" in the remake demo of Mario '85.
* If LX were to get his own game, it would be called Mario Deluxe '99.
* LX's False Hero and Default forms are taller than MX's False Hero and Default forms by a single foot, as a nod to how Luigi is taller than Mario.
* When he isn't trying to kill someone, LX adopts Luigi's mannerisms around others, meaning he would definitely be a gentleman but would never be invested in a relationship.
** He would get along with other Luigi-based horrorbrews (such as I HATE YOU Luigi and Mr. L), but wouldn't get along with any Mario-based horrorbrews or Waluigi-based horrorbrews.
* If he and Luigi were to meet, they would definitely fight.
* LX can use power-ups, but doesn't bother with them since his default abilities already make him very powerful.
* Whereas MX is food averse (Meaning he doesn't care for food because everything tastes bland to him), LX likes to occasionally take bites out of miscellaneous objects like bricks and pipes. He does so not to eat (Because he doesn't need to eat), but just because he enjoys the feeling of chewing.
* LX imitates Luigi's voice/accent regardless of what form he is in.
** In False Hero form, the imitation is flawless; in Pipe Crawler form, his voice gains a "demonic" reverb, and in his Revealed state, his voice becomes much deeper but still sounds like Luigi plus the aformentioned reverb.
** This also means his version of MX's "COME BACK HERE!" line is spoken as "COME-A BACK HERE!"
