Darkaxer

The Darkaxer is the main antagonist and final boss of Arcaxer. They appear periodically throughout the entire game. They killed Captain Brcye.
== Lore ==
A large majority of lore for the Darkaxer is told by Taskmaster. Before Arcaxer (The player) spawns into the world of Arcaxer, Taskmaster was organizing a team of adventurers to climb the stack with him. The Darkaxer is a part of that team. As Taskmaster's Team climbs the stack, they start to get discouraged, and want to give up. In order to continue the climb, Taskmaster tells the team about the Admin Console, the reason Taskmaster wanted to climb the stack. From that point on, the Darkaxer was acting different. They got angry the more toxins they downed, and the higher they got. One day, Darkaxer snapped, and attacked the rest of Taskmaster's party. Taskmaster managed to make it out alive, but he doesn't know if the other members did. 
Soon after, Arcaxer (The player) spawns, and is taken hostage by Taskmaster. Darkaxer seems to be present within the tutorial area. From there, Darkaxer is seen periodically until the player reaches end end of Longhorn Block. After completing an errand for Sydney in Coffee Lake, the Darkaxer appears to finally introduce themselves to the player. Here, it is revealed that the Darkaxer is the toxic version of The Arcaxer. Darkaxer reveals that the Sim can connect two entities built from the same profile, but only after they meet. They also reveal that their plan is to use the Admin Console to upload every toxin onto the internet.
The Darkaxer knows a lot about the simulation, especially when it comes to Hax. They are also very curious about the progress of the player throughout their journey. The way the Darkaxer interacts with the player is very experimental, until their boss battle.
== Appearances ==
They first appear in The Hub right after the tutorial. You can see them looking at you from a water tower.
In Janus Block, they interrupt your battle with Taskmaster just as Sydney encourages you to kill Taskmaster. They attempt to kill you in a battle which is not much more than an interactive cutscene. In this battle, they have an absurd amount of health, and deal 999 damage with each hit. You are then saved by Captain Bryce when you game over, although this is not seen.
After defeating Bryce Lee in Whistler Block, the Darkaxer returns again. This time, they do not engage you in a fight.
They are not seen again until after you complete a quest for Sydney in Coffee Lake. After completing the quest, Sydney says she gets weird readings from the Hub, and that you should return as quickly as possible. Once you return, you are greeted by the Darkaxer, who finally introduces themselves as... You! After a short talk about how they want to upload toxins onto the internet, the Darkaxer attempts to once again kill you by casting an oversized hack. The hack resembles Mega RGB. You are saved by Taskmaster before the Darkaxer flees once again.
Darkaxer is the boss at the end of RGB Block, which means they are seen prominently there. Arriving on Floor 15, you have your first run-in with them. A cutscene plays where the Darkaxer further elaborates their plan, and tries to convince you that this is what you both want. Taskmaster restrains them, urging you to run to the Admin Console.
For the next five floors, the Darkaxer chases you, attacking you with spells. They also join any battles you encounter during these floors, continuing to attack with spells every so often, even when it's not the enemy's turn. This continues until you reach floor 20.
On floor 20, you arrive at the Admin Console, the Darkaxer having beat you and your entire party there. In the pre-battle cutscene, the Darkaxer kills Captain Bryce, and begins the upload of all toxins in the stack. Once they are defeated in battle, Sydney informs you that no toxins are found in the entire Stack. The Darkaxer reveals that they have created Toxic Mass, an entity created from the data of every toxin, and is controlled by Darkaxer. In this encounter, you kill the Darkaxer, and they are never seen again. (Excluding the Sim Sim, where you re-battle them)
