Mr. B

Mr. B is a mysterious Ghoul salesman that was created by @The_Hobo_Bat on December 24th, 2023. He's an unknown ghoulish entity who roams the many alleyways and backstreets offering a free game in order to lure unsuspecting players/victims into getting his game and play only for them to be cursed for eternity.
==Appearance==
Mr. B visually resembles a short, rotund figure with a black business suit, and fedora, along with a red vest, white undershirt, a red and yellow stripped necktie making up what's below the jacket. The most striking feature of Mr. B is his face as it shares a resemblance of a skull with remnants of decaying skin stretched across the head, this can be said for his hands too, yet they're not as decomposed as his hideous face. His ghastly appearance can be covered up by a form which makes him look like an old man which bears a striking resemblance to Mario and once the victim is cursed his true face appears.
==Personality==
Mr. B is a particularly a calm yet unnervingly demented Ghoul who hides his malicious intentions behind a guise of an old man, who will act kind, reaffirming, and caring in order to give his games away easier.
==Biography==
Mr. B was once a mortal man only referred to "Baiszhan". No one really knows when he was born or where he even was alive, yet Mr. B himself has been around since as early as board games itself, creating his own takes on the popular pass time as "gifts" to others. His games would be simple cards, and tabletop games until he discovered the arcade scene in the late 70s to early 80s, there Mr. B set out in making these "video games" of his own to give to the people. He made many bootlegs of popular arcade games until he set his eyes on the company Nintendo and their smash hit Donkey Kong, there Mr. B's focus become more in line with replicating anything Nintendo was making and adding his own "spin" to them. These counterfeit games would house many disturbing imageries and odd glitches when being played, some of which had people describe them being "Sent to another world" or were "Trapped in a dark room" when many patrons of arcades would pass out under many mysterious means after being exposed to these games. But yet again Mr. B's sights were shifted once he saw the Nintendo Entertainment System hit store shelves with the game "Super Mario Bros." being his favorite to play and thus took on the form of an older man similar to Mario to seem approachable for people wanting to get the latest Nintendo game by any means necessary. 
With every month or so Mr. B was at work in making his own takes on the hot new game that was exclusive to their Entertainment System, many of these copies would show odd side effects to many players such as behavioral issues, Insomnia, Paranoia, and early forms of Schizophrenia as many would report seeing "a man with a skull for a face". Soon enough these players young and old would be reported missing throughout the 80s to early 90s, but soon would die down yet almost all of the cases were unsolved. In truth the missing people have been visited by Mr. B to whom he was there to collect their debts towards him, the payment was their bodies as Mr. B would take them to make his own live longer by eating their youth leaving them to be reduced to nothing but dust in the wind.
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Spirit physiology: Mr. B is an extremely powerful spirit, making him extraordinarily strong in terms of taking over the minds and bodies of his victims.
** Immortality: Mr. B has a form of immortality in that he absorbs the youth of others to keep himself alive forever.
*** Invulnerability: Being immortal has also given him the ability to be immune to any physical damage at all, his body can be torn apart, blown up, shot away but the body itself will remain unharmed and will come back together in a short matter of time.
** Shapeshifting: Mr. B has a minor ability to shapeshift given he can take on the form of an old man to his Ghoulish form at will.
** Soul Transferal: Mr. B can capture the souls of his victims and implement them into the game itself. By taking their souls and placing them in the game.
** Soul Absorption: Mr. B can absorb the souls of others into himself to prolong his immortality.
*** Youth Absorption: Mr. B along with absorbing the soul can absorb the youth to reduce the victim's body into dust to get rid of the evidence.
== Weaknesses ==
* Honoring A Deal: Mr. B would make deals to those who don't take his games outright, and thus said deal can be used against him in order for him to leave you alone permanently.
* Corpse Body: Mr. B still has the body of an over few thousand-year-old corpse, so he's not the fastest Ghoul around the block, use this to your advantage in getting away along with his body being easy to break apart all though it will be in vain.
