===Faker===
EXE's Faker form resembles the classic design of Sonic, but with many subtle alterations. He is missing buckles and belts on his shoes, has blue arms, and said blue is desaturated and darkened, and a protruding brow line that makes him appear to have an angrier expression. His quills end in pitch-black points, and unlike Sonic, his eyes are clearly separated rather than just appearing to be one eye with two pupils. 
===EXE===
Upon turning into his true, playable form, EXE is much taller and lankier. His skin becomes complete pale grey, his eye sockets stretch, and his eyes become completely dilated, becoming black with apparent red pupils with X like "gaps" (Though they only appear in his kill or Too Slow animations). His mouth stretches as well, displaying a row of sharp teeth as well as exposed gums and flesh. His snout and nose become more animalistic, and his gloves and socks meld into his body.
==Gameplay==
EXE starts with 110 Stamina, has 20 Sprint Speed, and deals 40 DMG per hit. Ironically, despite being based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, he is currently tied for the third slowest monster in-game, though he has a decent amount of stamina and good damage output. He has 2 abilities: Too Slow and Thorny Grave, both of which he heavily relies on as they are pretty much necessary to catch up to and/or catch off guard players. 
Keybind	Name 	Ability	Description 	Effect
Passive	You Can't Hide	 	
Every 11 seconds, EXE will sniff the air, briefly highlighting any player that is within about 105 studs of him. 	Highlights players briefly.
M1 	M1 	 	EXE swings his right claw, dealing 40 damage. 	Deals damage to players.
1 	Too Slow 	 	When pressing 1, EXE will charge forward with an outstretched hand. If he comes in contact with a player, he will grab them for 10 damage, then bite them in the face for an additional 40, dealing 50 damage overall. Afterwards, he will wipe his mouth, giving the player some time to escape during the animation. This ability does not drain stamina. Has a 15 second cooldown.	Easier mobility and deals damage to players.
2 	Thorny Grave 	 	When pressing 2, EXE will place a oval of black tendrils on the floor at his exact location. If a player steps on it, they will be trapped and have to hold E 15 times to free themselves from the trap. Other players can also help free the trapped player by holding E repeatedly while near them. The trap will release the player if they are 5 HP or under. EXE can place up to 5 traps at a time. 
When a player is caught in a Thorny Grave, they will be highlighted for the duration, and EXE will gain a brief speed boost. Has a 5 second cooldown.	Traps any players until they are freed, highlights players who are trapped, and provides a temporary speed boost for the monster.
===Removed Abilities===
Keybind	Name 	Ability	Description	Effect
1 	Found You	 	When pressing 1, EXE would teleport to the nearest player, filling that player's screen with static and giving EXE a brief, slight speed boost. If a player is stuck in a Thorny Grave, he would teleport to it instead. 
This ability was removed due to EXE's creator stating that EXE is unable to teleport. As well as this, the move clashed with EXE's slower, pursuit-based playstyle. However, it is planned to be reused as one of upcoming monster Sonic.EXE's abilities.	Teleportation.

== Trivia== 
*EXE's model was made by PhoenixFinch. Faker's original model was made by TheBladeNinja and edited by Phoenix.
*His sound effects were made by Madzilla, who is also the voice actor for EXE's "Faker" form in the upcoming Sonic Prototype 2017.
*EXE’s Full Render was made by Razima, while their Alternate Render was made by PhoenixFinch.
*The_BladeNinja has a resize script, first discovered with a version of the fatal skin, that is a very small, fast and short. It is normally used as a joke to confuse players and sometimes appears in videos.
*There is a very small chance for EXE's Too Slow ability to swipe at a player for 10 damage, but not grab them, though this is suspected to just be a bug.
*"You Can't Hide"'s name is a reference to the second stage from the original Sonic.EXE creepypasta, titled "You Can't Run".
* Too Slow's name is a reference to one of the most well-known quotes of the original Sonic.EXE creepypasta: "You’re too slow, want to try again?"
** It can also be considered a reference to what EXE says before transforming into his true form in the Vs. Sonic.exe Friday Night Funkin' mod, as he repeatedly says "You're Too" and then "Slow."
*EXE's kill animation might be a reference to how he kills Alice (The soul inhabiting Amy).
*Excluding skins, EXE is currently the only character to have more than one chase theme.
*EXE is a different entity from Sonic.EXE, being a failed attempt at creating a vessel by Lord X, who is referenced in two of EXE's skins. 
**Ironically, it's also stated that EXE despises his creator so much, that he rebels against him; causing X to banish EXE away into a different universe.
*EXE, MX, The Forest King, Vapor, Niloticus, and WYST share the title of having more than one death quote.
**However, EXE stands above the rest by having a total of THREE quotes, while the others all have two.
