The King of Spikes

“*You step so lightly my good madam! But that is because all the territory you have stepped on is not mine!*

*For I am the Pontiff of Pokes, the Sultan of Slivers, the King Of Spikes!*

*And soon, the whole land, nay the whole world will be my territory, with the laceration of feet and the bodies piled in tribute upon my domain! Now, let me show you a sample of the world of my rule…*”

## Profile

Yep, it’s the King Of Spikes, from my Game Bosses Union post! He’s basically a pastiche of “King Mook” bosses like Goomboss or King Bob-Omb, but for deathspikes!

If you want a bit more info on him, let me copy the small profile of his from another post:

You know those bosses that’re the king of minor mooks, like King Moblin or Goomboss? Yeah, this guy is that for death spikes. Complete with crown and pompous mustache and buffoonish; blustering personality. And he has ultimate control of his “subjects,” and wants to ultimately cover the world in spikes. There’s a reason he’s considered creepy and unsettling by everyone despite his demeanor.

Aspic Tower Postcard

BEGIN PROFILE:

*A postcard found near the infamous “Aspic Tower”. Reads on the back: WISH YOU WERE HERE.*

*Postcard*
 was dated several decades before the incident originating the tower’s
name, where [REDACTED], laboratory testing indicates date is accurate.

*Red figure resembles that cited by several witnesses to have appeared at that incident, minus the differences of [REDACTED].*

Author Commentary:

Even compared to the other early ones, this is... a bit crude. You can only really do so much with a trackpad and
something made partially in Tuxpaint, and then trying to alter it later
to make it slightly less crude. Which is why I made it a postcard, to
cover for my not-so-good art. OH WELL!

Scryerball

## Profile

Starting design as an attempt at a crystal ball whose predictions would always come true, this artifact's development was... unorthodox at best. Which is why the kingdom, royal lineage and landmass it came from do not exist anymore.

## Abilities

It doesn’t quite predict the future as it does make it, thanks to its
 main power of being able to “cut” catastrophes out of reality. Fatal
falls, terrible scandals, deadly hurricanes, and more, all snipped out
as if they were never going to happen in the first place…
Until he
 uses his other ability to “paste” those disasters back into reality, at
 their current location as a weapon. This can be incredibly useful in
many ways, though it can also be dreadful and dire if used wrong.

## Characterization

While its abilities are not inherently deadly, its reputation for misfortune is not helped by Scryerball’s extremely chaotic temperament,
caring relatively little about what damage it causes to who so long as
it it causes chaos and mayhem.

It’s not malicious as much as
it is a prankster and it doesn’t aim to actually kill people (At least
people it likes) so much as make mayhem, and thusly it doesn’t make its
powers happen against the will of the user except in the most dire of
cases. But boy will it not shut up with its terrible, terrible “advice”…

Bowl of Ghouls

## Profile

Drink deep from the Bowl Of Ghouls. Taste of the ichor; shining and black.

Let the metamorphosis arouse inside you, let it consume you. Let the metal and the the bone and the blood and the dripping fires of the alteration come for thee.

Let us dance into eternity; shining and monstrous, burning and burning and howling into nightmares that waltz into dreams that waltz into claws that melt into teeth that drip from jaws howling with life and oh beautiful sweet infectious life…

…Am I coming off a bit too strong for our first time here? I feel like I might be coming off a bit too strong.

Art Block

## Additional Info.

It's an enemy we all face, and Poss wants to share that fight with the world, which is always a grand goal! And, I’m pretty sure this jerk is a member of the Game Bosses Union…

## Author Commentary

So, @pettamapossum decided to do a pic of that dread foe all of us artists face, the fiendish Art Block. And, I decided to color it and, with their permission, have put it up here to show.

Tin Teardrop

## Profile

Here’s an eerie herald of things to come in the CQ-verse, nobdy knows what **Tin Teardrop** wants
 or comes from. Indeed, its power seems to be to come from nowhere at
all, to appear in a crack as the gargantuan glaring swirl, drop its
lachrymosal payload, and disappear.

It is rumored they work for an organization called THE SWINGIN A.B.C.s
trying to bring “order” to cyberspace, with other entities like **Channel Clear**, **Dirty Deeds** and **Scarecrow,** rumored to be a part of it, though it still seems to be early in their agenda…

## Abilities

While its appearance is unsettling, it’s what the payload, resembling its owner’s namesake, does to the
 surrounding programs in the long term that's really scary. Namely, slowly warping the surrounding area
into a grotesque shining maze known as a Tinpan Alley that turns the
programs around them aggressive; warped terrors with coating resembling
rusted tin; only able to vocalize in the form of something like tin cry
and known coloquially as “Tin Soldiers”.

## Characterization

He hasn't been contacted by many for a long enough space of time to say, but those who do say the being seems only dimly aware of things, and is in general is not very right.

## Additional Info.

They were named after a bit of dialogue from the monologue preceding Captain Beefheart's song Pena, which most people are pretty sure was describing a buttplug.

The "Tinpan Alley" concept is based on the name of the place where the old-timey commercial music of the kind Theodor Adorno hated that wasn't jazz was made, and the Tin Soldiers were named after the song One Tin Soldier. Which I'm gonna have to reference in a name again, because that song is far too thematically good for just that offhand thing.

## Author Commentary

Both created to ripoff that one Evangelion giant-eye-angel, reference this specific song, and to introduce a faction representing the horrid corporate side of digital stuff, in all of these things... I could probably have done better, let's be real here.

Painting Titled Only Somewhere

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Cropped image of painting known as “ONLY SOMEWHERE,” found in*
thrift store in state of [REDACTED]. Seemingly part of series painted by
 painter known by their signature of a septagram, also all found in
thrift stores.

*Appearance of paintings appear to be*
landscapes, with qualities similar enough to determine they derive from
the same ecosystem of origin. This ecosystem appears to correspond with
abductees correspondences involving descriptions given by their
aubductors of planet [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] system.

*The*
 paintings upon full view caused subjects to have restless REM-cycles
for periods of several weeks after viewing. This was determined not due
to any parapsionic energies emitted or by components of the unorthodox
but chemically identifiable “paints,” speculated to be an automemetic
effect of the painting.

*The dreams share images in their*
composition of intangible beings of [REDACTED] species, wandering, the
shedding of skin, disguising “as themselves,” and all have taken place
at night; with a sky described as being filled with glowing versions of
what we determined to be the Painter’s Septagram in place of moon or
stars.

*Lost Painter, Septagram, if you read this, please*
come forward to the G.U.F.F.. We mean you no harm and wish not to deny
your freedom. We have many matters to discuss…

## Author Commentary

I kinda was waffling on what the heck to do with this pic for a while,
so I decided to mash all those meats together and do it all at once. Did
 it work? NO IDEA!

Diz Busters

## Profile

The *Diz Busters* are more a "species" than true individuals, basically search-and-destroy-based assassins for hire, hovering like unsettling assassins, focused ruthlessly on their targets.

## Abilities

They don’t actually speak, but do emit a “screaming” from all around,
that can overwhelm the minds of lesser programs and be focused into a
dread and deadly ray. They also release little UFOs that can serve as
secondary eyes; rotary weapons, and explosives.

## Characterization

They travel in bands of seven or multiples of seven, and while they do
not speak, those around them always know what they would say if they
were to speak. Which helps in getting “clients” though their pay is not
in financial resources but *information*, specifically that of the esoteric and occult.

## Additional Info.

They commonly do manifest from the digital world into “our world” far more commonly than other digital entities and seemingly under their own power by forces unknown; perhaps due to the nature of their creation or perhaps
these are just the digital world manifestations of true occult entities…

The species was named after the song Seven Screaming Diz-Busters by Blue Oyster Cult.

## Author Commentary

I essentially designed these based on what I thought a "Diz-Buster" would look like from listening to the song Which seemingly was "UFO-ZZ-Top" apparently.

Tho, that's one of those songs that works better if you take it literally than for its intended metaphorical meaning (Which is apparently one extended dick joke), along with Hotel California amongst others...

逼宫大战

派系在逼宫大战中的表现决定了下一周派系的收益和实力，赢得胜利的派系和小主们战斗力会得到大大提升，另外还有大量珍贵奖励等你来拿哦。小主们看到这是不是很激动呢！接下来月秀就为大家带来逼宫大战的详情介绍。
每周五20：30开启，分为宫门之争和皇宫之争。

## **宫门之争（20：30~21：00）**

首先是宫门之争，一共分为东西南北四个宫门，每个宫门前有两个据点，派系只有攻下一个据点才可进攻该据点后的宫门。

起初据点以及宫门由系统精英把守，小主击杀精英后即占领该据点并成为守方。
小主可以攻打任何已被占领的据点，会匹配到守方玩家或者NPC。

占领据点后的派系即可进攻对应的宫门，宫门的攻防规则与据点一样。只有最后21：00占领宫门的派系才能晋级到皇宫之争。
据点和宫门被占领后会有1分钟休整时间。该时间内只有防守派系可以布防，其他派系不可进攻。守方可以将已邀请的派系精英更换上去。

其中的时间点十分重要，派系成员之间要沟通好，以保证时间结束时至少占领一个宫门。
在宫门之争阶段，由于每个派系的实力不一样，所以攻防的战术也会不同。实力强的派系可以分散人力攻占多个据点和宫门，实力稍弱的派系可以集中人力攻占一个据点和宫门。当然，具体情况要依局势而定。

## **皇宫之争（21：10~21：25）**

最终占领四个宫门的派系进入皇宫之争。皇宫的精英BOSS是皇上，第一个击杀皇上的派系即占领皇宫成为守方。皇上被击杀后，会有1分钟的休整时间，只可守方布防，其他派系不可进攻。

最后结束时间占领或击杀精英皇上的派系获胜。进攻的派系需要注意时间，努力在时间结束前击杀皇上吧。防守的派系需要努力防守，最后一刻守住皇上即胜利。

最终占领皇宫的派系会获得专属精英：皇上（持续一周），为派系全体成员增伤+6%。这样的BUFF可以给派系带来巨大收益，在拥有该精英的一周内，派系实力会有很大的提升，派系内小主们的战斗力也随着提升哦。

另外，皇帝的赏赐礼包中奖励十分丰富，包括珍贵的橙装图纸，四级宝石和各类道具。

占领其他四个宫门的派系也会收获大量珍贵的奖励，包括六级宝石、橙装精华和橙装图纸。

在整个活动中积分达到一定排名的小主还可以获得数量丰厚的个人奖励，如养心丹、不等额度的元宝和鲜花等等。

其他派系不可对皇上进行友好操作，同时，皇上不受派系精英数量限制。
皇上只能通过逼宫大战获得，并且在下周五的凌晨2点回收。所以精英皇上十分珍贵，小主们要努力赢得逼宫大战！

月秀还要向各位小主透露一个小秘诀哦，在攻打据点或宫门时，可以对精英进行“舌辩”或“上书”，直接降低守方精英血量，或者在进入活动后，小主们也可以花费元宝购买BUFF提高战斗力，让本派系的逼宫之战胜算大增！
The Love Bug

## Profile

“*In coders name of love we pray/Till the end of circuits line/And I ask you now, do you love me?/Because I Love You.*”- The opening verse to Love Bug’s villain song

Funny thing about computer viruses in the universe of Cybernetic Queen,
 they don’t always stay dead when their core programming is eliminated.
Sometimes, the chaos magical effects can allow viruses of particular
notoriety to persist and live on as wandering, powerful being out of
sheer memetic force.
Thusly goes with **The Love Bug**, an infamous virus preying on insecurity in the way it did when it was new, but much more subtly and sinisterly than before.

## Abilities

For, it sets up all sorts of dummy accounts; personas; and even fakes
 images and video footage to set itself up as a real human. Or,
sometimes, using false “shell” data to disguise tiself as a real;
more-than-friendly program to the programs of the place in which it is
invading.

It strings them along by imitating the intimacy and
companionship of a real relationship, all the while subtly sending
subliminal messages that slowly alter the target mentally and
physically. Think Videodrome meets Digimon and you’ll have a good idea.
They’re so strung-along that by the time they notice, it’s too late.

Once
 they are altered into a form that resembles more beast; vehicle or
archetecture than a sentient being, usually with a hear or romance
motif, he uses that mooring to manifest in our world in a similar way as
 I mentoned with Great King Rat,
 spreading that same sort of alteration at a horrifyingly fast rate
amongst his other (Also hearts, valentines and romance-themed) attacks
It
 can be stopped if the main “body” is destroyed, but even if it is
there’s always a tiiiiiny piece of him that escapes destruction to form
again online, given his “from a single cell" existence...

## Characterization

His personality is flamboyant, the exact sort of type to wax
philisophical upon his deeds or to un-ironically do villain songs like
the one mentioned above, but at his core, he’s kind of a hollow; cold
social chamelion, ice masquerading as fire.

## Additional Info.

They're based on an actual, notoriously deadly, computer virus!

Appropriately, his voice sounds approximately like a Vocaloid of David Bowie.

## Author Commentary

Yet another CQ-Verse character I made before the theme naming really became A Thing. And one in desperate need of a redraw...

Amuse Pleasure Bear

## Profile

From the original bio: "Made out of whatever the bootleg of hope is, she’s probably a ground trooper for dark forces; able to mass-produce herself for sale in bulk at Hot Topics."

## Abilities

From the original bio: "She has the power to put the wraps on things; in all senses of that widely-applicable word; and she can indeed also fly."

## Characterization

From the original bio: "She is sad that she’s flying, because people can see her. She does not like to be seen, hence why she hangs out at Hot Topics; ideally at dead malls."

## Additional Info.

Amuse Pleasure Bear was released as part of a larger post listing several monsters, all of their images made with the same online doll generator.

Brain Of The Earth

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*One of many inventions of the brilliant but luckless Crown family,*
 more specifically the brothers Duke and King (Pictured above
maintaining the device), the BRAIN OF THE EARTH is a minor footnote in
proto-G.U.F.F. History, intercepted in 194[REDACTED] in the run up to
the Second World War.

*Firmly rooted into the earth,*
reportedly from interviews with Duke the invention was intended to “Whup
 that damn Hitler good,” and its operation had become aberrant when
“That numbskull King sat his fat ass on the controls"

*The*
device’s apparent purpose was to draw energy from a cthonic source; the
“Soul of the earth” as King called it, to create a beam of energy  that
would cause injury “only the dark of heart.” Though, Duke was swift to
report that “It sure as fuck almost blinded me!”

*The*
aberrance in the mechanism caused rapid fire at the fair; where it was
their intention to showcase it for possible sale to the United States
government (Hence the prescence of what would be later considered the
proto-G.U.F.F.), caused massive rapid firing.

*The only*
 injuries reported were in a tent directly across from the station,
later reported to have harbored a meeting of the German-American Bund;
with [REDACTED] later revealed as foreign double-agents.

*The*
 government reported interest in the device post-incident, but fell
through almost immediately when it was found the blueprints were eaten
by a nearby goat.

## Author Commentary

Sometimes I get it into my mind to make stuff like a G.U.F.F.-based
Laurel And Hardy-type shenanigans using a giant laser-skull. Because
sometimes you gotta bring a story together weirdly.

This one also introduces the aforementioned family of black anomaly-inventors known as the Crown family, who have shown up in at least one other entry and which I will almost certainly use more in the future...

Skalduggery

**Name:**Skalduggery
**Gender:** Mischief and/or Fire (According to them at least, goes by they/them pronouns, look more of a “curvacious” kind of androgynous that I’m not sure if I conveyed across the sprite)
**Sexuality:** Pansexual

## Profile

Skalduggery is a being one might find annoying and endearing all at once, whether they’re on your side or not. A spectacularly easy-to-summon spirit; both in terms of the procedure and also because the little shit has spread their summoning information across wherever they can put it down on paper; this creature serves whoever summons and pays them sufficiently.

## Abilities

They are brilliant, with a natural knack for magic (of the destructive kind especially), trap construction, and scheming on the fly. They are brilliant at it, or they would be if it weren’t for several glaring personality flaws.

## Characterization

Unfortunately, the “on the fly” thing leads to them not quite thinking these things through, and their hot-headed temper and ego leads them to rash actions and burning; often one-sided grudges, which often leads to their defeat.

Though, while they are what they might call “ethically challenged,” they do have their limits and are willing to turn on an employer whose agenda is truly fouler than anticipated, which means they can turn from foe to ally very often after repeated fights; albeit a flighty and overly-bombastic one.

## Additional Info.

Their theme music would be something like Unfounded Revenge from Mother 3, Bonetrousle from Undertale, We Are Number One from Lazy Town, and so-on, that very bouncy bombastically-devious ska-ish music that was the very thing that inspired me to create the character.

Johnson, am credited as their creator! I even have a link to the file in the program Piskel for easier editing, where the body, limbs, head, smile and even backdrop are on different layers for ease of alteration.

The Machine

## Intro

“*It’s alright, we know where you’ve been…*”

Nobody knows where the mechanical world known as The Machine came from. They just know it is not supposed to exist. And that it it exists to produce only more of itself.

It invades worlds by seeding them with its agents, its businesses, and slowly but surely moves to make things worse and worse for those that get in its way. Its appearance are marked by those things that are technological in a way that shows power but also wild inefficiency.

Those that rebel are known as Gremliins, chaotic but not necessarily good, wild mechanisms working to put a wrench in the machine by any means possible. And yes, for the record, the name is inspired by Gremlins 2 and Twitter user G2Institute.

The dirty little secret that gets those Gremliins rebelling: The Machine has no idea what it wants to do if it wins. It exists only to consolidate and integrate, and the closer it comes to that full goal; the more dysfunctional and unsustianable it gets…

## Ideology

Pick something awful about capitalism, these bastards believe it thoroughly. They believe in endless expansion, and that nothing is sacred, even any principles they use to ascend their forces into power on various worlds.

They also basically think that free will is a design flaw that gets in the way of human processing power, and will always prefer systems over people. Which makes them immensely unsettling the higher you go...

"*General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.*"

## Author Commentary

This is mainly because I wanted to do a faction embodying everything that's horrid about Capitalism (That isn't TITLEWave). And for the record, yes, this is totally my metaphor-for-capitalism villain, who I wanted to make more an institutional/gargantuan *thing* than a person.

The name’s inspired by the Pink Floyd song “Welcome To The Machine” as the opening quote suggests, and a shoutout to cannibal-sarracenian whose reading of Helheim from Kamen Rider Gaim inspired the thing’s ideology.

Operatic

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject OPERATIC was found in 197[REDACTED], in a seemingly*
abandoned structure several miles away from known roads. Exact location
of this structure is discouraged from spreading due to possible ill
effects on subject that mass publicity may encourage. Structure seemed
to be for religious purposes, containing [REDACTED] skeletons whose
estimated decade of death is unknown and one bright purple chrysalis
from where SUBJECT emerged upon discovery.

*From foundation*
interaction, subject appears non-malevolent, desiring only to perform
“her” (As many have designated the entity) “song” upon a bi-nightly
basis. If none are present to view song, subject appears to curl up and
initiates [PROCESS SAMAEL] causing [REDACTED] at ranges of [REDACTED] in
 a seemingly randomized and un-avoidable pattern, and damages estimated
at [REDACTED]. This process appears to be subconsciously initiated by
the creature’s despair and outside of its conscious control.

*Selective*
 re-arrangement of roads in collaboration with the Highway Department
have been performed to place an exit and rest stop adjacent to the  to
ensure long-term traffic to avoid this, though staff of the place have
been given orders to serve as an audience in the rare event no
individuals are around.

*Subjects “song“ appears to have no*
memetohazardous properties, but has been described as “supernaturally
beautiful,” with conventional recording equipment failing to capture the
 entity’s full “range” and unconventional recording equipment having
mixed success at best.

*Recordings are available on special order at the number [REDACTED] for a price of [REDACTED]*

## Author Commentary

This was another attempt at emulating the aesthetics of the brilliant Trevor Henderson, which I decided to make into a G.U.F.F. entry because... well, honestly, I forget why now.

Fun fact, there's a reason I called it Process Samael, based on what the latter name translates to...

HoundsMan EXE

## Profile

*“Ha! Ya got moxie kid! You’re all fulla fizz and nobody knows just*
 what the heck you are!” - HoundsMan.EXE, upon first being hit by CQ
HoundsMan.EXE’s
 origin is unknown, though it almost certainly has something to do with
hacking and games. What is known is that he is a charismatic
opportunist, able to rally lesser malevolent digital-entities to his
whims, and that he is very powerful… within certain limits.

## Abilities

His main power is to impose rules over a specific area of space. They
 are rules that both he and his opponent may use, and both may bend
their spirit as long as they do not bend the letter. They must always be
 pre-defined before the opponent enters the space, and cease operation
when the conflict is over.

Of course, even aside from these; he’s
pretty handy in a fight, especially with his ability to take a singular
quality from a felled foe and a wickedly sharp sword-cane.

## Characterization

He’s glib, quippy, chews the scenery like a goat in a junkyard
theatre, but the real question is, what is his motivation? Seemingly,
nothing at all but the game itself.

At times, he’s been seen
to hold back before complete; destructive victory; and even aid his
opponents from greater threats. For, a game’s no fun if nobody’s
playing…

## Additional Info.

The character is heavily inspired by the main villain from the cult-classic TV show Deadly Games, which I must give a huge shoutout to Trent Troop/Starchibald for introducing me to!

Though, his name's also a reference to the song "The Hounds" by The Protomen, as well as the general naming conventions of the Mega Man EXE series.

## Author Commentary

Yet another stand-in character, because I saw the show, and dangit I wanted my own Sebastian Jackal!

Commemorating George 3.14159

## ORIGINAL RELEASE:

*Tonight we must publicly comemmorate decorated employee George*
3.14159 on [REDACTED] years working for our organization. George joined
as a dimension refugee during the incidents of the Midnight Sea Wars in
197[REDACTED] and has been working for us ever since, aside from a brief
 period from 198[REDACTED] to 199[REDACTED] relating to decisions we
deeply regret.

*He has quadruple-handedly saved us from*
certain doom on exactly [REDACTED] occasions; even willingly saving us
during the fight against “President” [REDACTED] despite its relation to
the circumstances of our expulsion.

*Cake will be available*
in staff cafeterias, do not consume if you have allergies or religious
prohibitions against dairy; seafood; ammonia; MSG; or peanuts.

*Thank*
 you for your hears of service George, and may we work together many
more, because we will need all the help we can get in these trying times
 to come…

## Author Commentary

With this image I decided to do something different. I wanted to do a
G.U.F.F. employee comemmoration thing with this pic because the design
seemed like one more fitting for an employee than a “subject”

And,
 it does talk a lot about ideas I plan to further explore in the future,
 about how one of the main differences between the G.U.F.F. and; say;
the SCP Foundation; is how they treat “anomalous” humans not as the
other but; if they are willing to work with them; as fellow partners.

Relating to the larger themes of the semi-setting I may get to eventually…

Sonar Hate

## Profile

*I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT GODDAMMIT, WE SHOULDA KILLED YOU WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!-* Sonar Hate, on second contact with pretty much everyone he meets.

Essentially
 created as a hybrid spyder/hacking program, Sonar Hate was created with
 one purpose and one purpose alone: To find all threats and potential
enemies of the US Government, and those targeting the shady US
Intelligence agencies that created it in particular, and secure
governmental servers agains them.
Surprising nobody, he found
the greatest threat to both to be the department itself. And also
surprising nobody, that agency’s computers “mysteriously” ended up
catching fire and killing the majority of the higher-ups in that agency.
 And by then Sonar Hate was gone, in a specially fortified server, with a
 new purpose: Make themselves safe as possible. And thus did they become a member of the 7 Deadly Virtues

## Abilities

Their main power is the waves they can let off that make it so that, no matter how far
one moves, one can never get any closer to him than the radius of the
waves; only able to get past it by sheer brute
mental/emotional/coding/soul force.

HE can turn it on and off
 to let other members of the 7 in and out, and is indeed a vital
security measure for their planning and activities; but he’ll often turn
 it on when he’s having one of his paranoid spells, much to their
annoyance.

Even if one with a sufficently strong heart/will/coding (Like, say, CQ
or CY-ZAR-KO) gets past his waves, he’s still armed to the teath with
the cannons that double as his “eyes,” missilEXE launchers that create a
 practical carnival of destrictive power, and the E-RAYser Beam that
 he is firing in the main image.

## Characterization

They’re a mean-spirited; paranoid jerk and nobody likes them. Hell, they only
joined the 7 Deadly Vurtyes for the sake of saving their own hide in the event
 that Innuendo Show’s plan comes to fruition, and the rest of the team knows it, but they cannot deny they
are useful for their ability.

Their missiles totally do that Itano Circus thingie when they're being fired.

## Additional Info.

Named after the song Radar Love by Golden Earring, in the grand tradition of the similarly-musically-motifed Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's dumb renames for legal reasons; IE Worst Company; Flaccid Pancake; Filthy Acts For A Reasonable Price.

## Author Commentary

I love this jerk's design, abilities, song name, and generally their core concept in general a whole lot. Which'd probably surprise some, but I do always love very solid; chunky designs...

Team Tenebra

Hey, it’s some mons for a character in my Game Bosses Union thingy! Specifically, ones that’re part of the team of Tenebra, a dapper black parson in an ornate mask who trains darkness/macabre-themed monsters from across the multiverse ala a Gym Leader, one of the most moral members of the union and also often the only adult in the danged room.

I did base them on pastiches of various Mons series’ styles, most obviously on the top-left with **Nictolop**, which is basically my attempt at a “Dark-type” Pikachu-y critter the same way Marill is for Water or Mimikyuu is for Ghost. They’re agressive, ornery, and loyal to the end if you get them on your side, and in the Poke-verse they’d probably be a glass cannon Special attacker

The bottom-left is **Chiakimon**, a digital data creature who’s basically a Rookie-level-y equivalent to the D-Reaper, innocent but frighteningly powerful and hungry.

The upper-right one is **Bad Sign**, an SMT-pastiche based also a bit on Ristar (since he’s a sadly neglected character, and both he and SMT are Sega-owned) and on the idea of being born under a bad sign, melancholy and stealthy but also blazing fast and flashy when it moves in to strike.

And, on the bottom right is **T-Model**, basically a Robopon-pastiche based on a mix of the T-800 and the T-1000 created by a rogue supercomputer for its dark bidding. It is a fierce and focused combatant, but also often comically oblivious and dense when outside of such. It’s got a classic Game Boy-y pallette to make it feel off/uncanny in the Gameboy-Color-based hypothetical Robopon world.

I do plan to make more, and I got a pretty good idea of what imma do for the Mortasheen; Telefang and Charabomb pastiches, but still am a bit stumped on the necessary Monster Rancher one…

These are all open species, free to use as you see fit even for profit, as long as I; Thomas F Johnson; am credited as their creator when you do so; no strings attached.

Omega

## Overview

*Omega-Class Cruisers usually warp in when Millikan patrols failed defending their home space. Like the Excalibur-Class Cruisers, they house their own warp drive.*
*Like all Capital Ships, the Omega cannot be destroyed by the player, instead, it warps out once the player destroys all of the turrets on the hull. However, this is difficult and requires a powerful ship and good piloting.*
## History

* 0.31a
	+ Reduced capship spawn rate by a factor of 4 - there is now only a 5% chance of the ship already being there on jump, and a 5% chance it drops in the next 30 seconds.
* 0.30a
	+ Introduced.

Filius Dei

## Profile

*Greetings! Have you heard the good word of our free offer?*- Filius Dei’s usual words upon trying to recruit beings into The 7 Deadly Virtues.

An
 evangelist for the cause of a mysterious group of viruses known as The 7 Deadly Virtues, this creepy floating soft-voiced evangelistic fellow known
by the name **Filius Dei** is apparently the result of a mad marketing-exec-turned-programmer trying to imbue “real emotions” into an emoji.

Nobody knows much about the group he represents yet, or why he says
joining with them is “The only way,” but they will soon. Very soon.

## Abilities

His abilities are in the realm of mind control, granting body horror
versions of the user’s abilities multiplied threefold to whoever wears
masks in his image at the expense of their free will. One must willingly
 put on the mask, but he is a very convincing evangelist for his cause;
and there are quite a few programs/beings in enough despair to accept
the loss of their free will in exchange for power and vengeance.

## Characterization

"Smugly self-assured" is a good way to put it. If you know one of those church-ladies who speaks sweetly because she knows you're going to hell and who uses "Bless your heart" as one would use a knife, that's Filius.

But, boy are they scary when you manage to break their concentration and make them mad or point out their hipocrisy...

## Additional Info.

The character was named after the They Might Be Giants song "Kiss Me Son Of God," on the suggestion of Youtuber and friend of the author The Hungry Reader

## Author Commentary

The first of the Terminal 7, designed on a whim and with a story and linkage made after the fact.

Bottle Fiend

## Profile

The Bottle Fiend, despite the name, is actually pretty chill all things considered. They can grant wishes, unlimited wishes, but it’s not quite as simple as asking.

You have to get the proper ingredients and put them in the bottle before they can actually make that wish, and getting some of those can be… quite the trial. Not to mention their tendencies to twist the wish; though it’s usually benign in a “Gives you what you need instead of what you want” way.

Unless you’re a total bastard. Then all bets are off.

## Additional Info.

And, this is indeed part of that artifacts cycle. Sort of. It’s complicated…

PayGal.EXE

## Profile

A computer program specializing in data/power-draining and in futzing with aquatically-located systems, she’s basically “the member nobody likes.”

They only really let her on because of the large amount of money she donates, and even then they’ve forced her to lighten up on the floating artificial-island-city she basically runs SHODAN-style.

## Characterization

Her origins are basically as “Peter Thiel’s NetNavi,” and she inherited a lot of the man’s greed; paranoia and fascistic tendencies. And she’s even scarier when she finds a way to get into the physical world.

## Additional Info.

And yes, she does exist in the CQ-verse, but IDK what her name is. PRobably Beyonder-C, because Bioshock reference + seasteading…

## Author Commentary

This was voted on for me to draw by my dollar-and-up Patreon Patrons,so if you wanna vote on other ones you can join today, and hopefully help me make a career out of this stuff!

Clown Depicted

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*SUBJECT: CLOWN DEPICTED is a series of anomalous "grafitti" that appears on urban walls, at first appearing in the form of a singular; crudely "drawn" image of a jester-clown figure juggling three orbs. Said image has been described as "deeply creepy" and "a horrid spectre of coulourophobia" by antecdotal witnesses, and given the nicknames "Arley," "Ol Paccino" and "The Laughing Man".*

*Over time, the art then expands to depict more figures and a broader scene; different each time, but all broadly related to a theme of carnivals/circuses/fairs, and at a similar level of detail. This expansion seems to occur at times of low human perception, but witnesses have described the motion of such expansion as "writhing" and "chewing."*

*This expansion occurs for approximately ten to thirty days, at varying scales and speeds ranging from singular walls to entire city blocks, until it vanishes. As it vanishes, all of certain objects within a five mile radius of the manifestation also vanish. These objects have been different within each manifestation, but have include*

* *Balloons*
* *Clock and clockwork mechanisms*
* *Cans of assorted nuts (Leaving behind any contained nuts)*
* *Springs*
* *Human teeth*
* *Bicycle horns*
* *Rubber chickens*
* *Gunpowder*
* *Canvas*
* *Makeup products*

*This phenomenon is unremovable by the use of conventional grafitti removal methods, and anomalous ones have resulted in [REDACTED] and are disallowed from use until further notice.*
*Any association with SUBJECT: WORLD'S END CARNIVAL is unconfirmed at this time*

## Author Commentary

So, inspired by a very specific sprite of Ronald McDonald, I decided to draw a similarly horrible picture of a clown. And then I decided to make it into a G.U.F.F. pic.

But, I was wondering what to do with it to avoid the cliches associated with "creepy" clowns, so that's why I tried to be a bit more subtle with the creepy elements, leaving it mostly benign but ominous and tied-to-lore enough to make one wonder...

As with all the G.U.F.F. stuff, this abhorrent clown painting is free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY 4.0 license so long as I; Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as their creator!

Bright Ice

## BEGIN PROFILE:

Subject: BRIGHT ICE is currently at the lighthouse at SITE-QT. They are unable to be moved, seemingly fused to the spacetime itself in the area.

Subject was found by US governmental intelligence organization [REDACTED], where they were surreptuously hidden from the G.U.F.F. and their abilities utilized for the collaborative operation LIQUID SUNSHINE alongside well known hostile entities the SUNSHINE MAKERS (See entry [REDACTED] for further information)

Conspirators involved were apprehended and arrested when G.U.F.F. investigators obtained information of this occurence, took over custody of BRIGHT ICE alongside [REDACTED] other Fortean Subjects.

Subject was originally only encased in the “ice” to 0.1 percentage of the degree they currently reside in. It is theorized that agents would have been able to release subject using non-anomalous means had this been used.

Light adjacent to subject appears to “mellify” into syrup-like “LIQUID LIGHT,” with a consistency comparable to honey. Light has varying effects, further varied by source of light, test logs of the effects of which are pending.

Utilization of this substance is permitted by agents. Substance’s crystallization around the subject appears to have been the result of [REDACTED] US intelligence organization’s usage of “accellerated production methods” given by the SUNSHINE MAKERS

Secondary Blue Crystal retrieved from [REDACTED] in arrest operation appears to have been taken from subject in the original finding. Parapsychological investigation shows that SUBJECT is from space-time region [REDACTED], having used the “ice” as an “escape pod” from a disaster. Region has been investigated; found only to consist of [REDACTED] matter at this moment.

Subject EARTH ANGLE is currently waiting outside for them, further details given on EARTH ANGLE’s entry. Studies show that while they may show superficial paramorphical similarities, their species are wholly unrelated by dimension or relation.
It has been speculated upon that the Earth Angle sees a “kindred spirit” in somebody “lost” like them. We are currently investigating ways to free Subject, stand by for details…

## Author Notes

So yeah, it’s a callback, some worldbuilding on their rivalry with the CIA, and a reference to one of my favorite assholes from a public domain cartoon! I am weirdly proud of this!

And no, this was not inspired by the “Free Them” meme. Tho I did kinda realize the similarities after the fact.
Screaming Chair

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*SUBJECT: SCREAMING CHAIR is a chair made of human osseous tissues, found in custody of a "pirate museum,"*

*Subject was aledged by the former owner to be a former posession of the "Last of the Great Ghost Pirates." Links of this "Ghost Pirate" to SUBJECT: BLACK FREIGHTER, SUBJECT: RED RUM and [REDACTED] are currently under investigation.*

*Subject's osseous tissues are anomalously pliable, and investigation has determined that there are excess cartilaginous tissues, along with trace amounts of 9REDACTED], though the full means by which Subject utilizes this is currently unknown. Testing has shown that; despite appearances; testers find Subject extremely comfortable to utilize for the purpose of a seating device.*

*When subject is sat upon, subject will emit a "screaming" sound, of multiple frequencies. Analysis has shown that these frequencies correspond to musical tones considered "pleasing" by the human ear, and appear polyrythmically designed to maximize accoustic utility in spaces of multiple dimensions.*

*Despite requiring neither hydration, nutrients or oxygen, subject has been found to exhibit properties of living tissue, most notably an extremely active nervous system. When Subject utilized for its purpose by testers, testing has shown an anomalously high pain response, inextricably linked to the means by which the osseous tissues produce sound.*

*Subject's genetic material appears to be derived from multiple individuals. It is unknown their relation to Subjects creator. Current working hypothesis is that they are sapient remains of individuals who had earned the extreme emnity of this creator...*

## Author Commentary

Fun fact, this is inspired by a very specific line from one of the Monkey Island games, that is both funny and unsettling at the same time. Anyone remember that one? Anyone?
