**victim** is the original stick figure created by Alan Becker, created with the intention of torturing him, not realizing that the stick figure was sentient. After being toyed with, victim became angered at his creator and began to fight back for his survival, using many tools in the Flash program to retaliate against his abuser and even being able to create clones of himself to help in overpowering Alan's cursor. While he almost won, Alan ended the fight by simply closing the Flash program and choosing not to save, presumably deleting victim from existence.

Almost 17 years later, despite supposedly having been deleted by Alan in the original *Animator vs. Animation* and being completely forgotten by his creator, victim somehow persevered & returned back from the dead. Currently he's the creator, founder and boss of a mysterious research facility that operates within the Outernet, while also being the employer of 4 unique stick figure mercenaries whom he hired to capture his successor: **The Chosen One**.

## Appearance

victim was originally a black hollow-headed stick figure of unknown height.

17 years later, during the events of Animator vs. Animation VI, his color changed from black to dark gray to differentiate him from The Chosen One.

## Personality

It's difficult to judge victim's personality due to the fact that Alan supposedly deleted him only two minutes following his creation, but during the short time, he initially appeared curious about his surroundings, such as when he tried to break free of the box he was made in, but when his creator began to abuse him for fun like a toy, victim became furious. At the time, Alan had not realized that victim was even sentient at all.

Despite his intense dislike of their creator for abusing them for fun, victim appears to be far more passive and outgoing towards his own kind, similar to The Second Coming, as he shook hands with his clones immediately upon their creation, and worked alongside them as equals by meritocracy rather than as slaves, to subdue Alan for his abusive actions towards them. This also shows that victim has a natural sense for leadership, being able to coordinate his clones effectively with ease: by working together, they almost succeeded in overpowering Alan's cursor.

victim displays creativity and active cunning as his dominant traits in fighting back against his creator to make up for his lack of superpowers like what The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have. He was adept at using his environment as a weapon against Alan, such as using different animation tool icons like the eraser and paintbrush to maneuver his way around the computer and to destroy the weapons Alan drew to use against him.

Almost 17 years after his fight with Alan, victim's back as proven to have only grown in, experience, intelligence and leadership skills. Due to being the creator and boss of his own research laboratory with many scientists and engineers who work to study different animation-based technologies and tools, such as the drawing icon that they confiscated from The Second Coming after capturing him and The Chosen One.

## Powers and Abilities

victim is the only stick figure created by Alan that has no known superpowers, unlike The Chosen One, The Dark Lord and The Second Coming who were all given grander titles and higher power levels than their predecessor. However, victim made up those short comings by being more intelligent than his successors and can adapt very quickly to his surroundings and the current situation.

He's known for being able to create solutions on the spot thanks to his high level of resourcefulness and using whatever materials with tools are around him to his advantage as opposed to The Chosen One, who uses raw superpowers to force his way through problems and when battling against his creator. Not only that, but victim is further separated from his “younger brother” due to showing that he has a naturally gifted sense of leadership and is able to lead and coordinate others very quickly and efficiently, as opposed to The Chosen One who prefers to work alone due to having his supercharger abilities. He was able to quickly organize his clones to help him restrain Alan's mouse and later on proved he was able to become the boss of his own organization of engineers and scientists who help him to research and manufacture animation-related tools and weapons, such as the high-tech weapons used by the mercenaries that are capable of incapacitating both The Chosen One and The Second Coming.

* **Natural Adaptability:** From his experiences in Animator vs. Animation from being tormented and mistreated by noogai3 in the past, victim is proven to be incredibly nimble and intelligent.
* **Creativity:** victim can utilize the pencil tool from Adobe Flash to make everything from turrets to different kinds of weaponry from the timeline of that program.
	+ **Self-Cloning:** victim can also make clones of himself with the use of the program's library section.
* **Quick Learning:** victim is shown to be a fast thinker, as it was shown in Animator vs. Animation as he was able to quickly dodge and counter noogai3's assaults of various arsenal.
* **Expert Leadership:** victim exhibits outstanding leadership skills by immediately assembling his clones from Adobe Flash's layer tool to serve as his helpers in manipulating Alan's mouse, Later on, he was capable of managing his own team of scientists and engineers who help him create equipment and weaponry connected to animation, such as the high-tech weapons used by the mercenaries.
* **Lexical Processing:** victim can make symbols appear above his head to express his emotions (similar to The Second Coming's ability to communicate by making words appear on a screen).

* Alan's reasons for showing no mercy to victim and his attempts to torture him upon his creation is contributed to him only being 17 years old at the time and not knowing victim was actually sentient.
