## Backstory

What if I said the cabinet turned out to be one that should've been destroyed a long time ago...one of those legendary games; Polybius? And what if that cabinet still contained something. Some hidden devices. Some latent code. What if it leaked into Arcade!Verse game code, causing a number of odd changes to occur. You know there's something wrong, you know you shouldn't be feeling this ill from just playing a video game, and there's something very creepy about the dialogue in those Echoes are talking. Yet...you can't stop playing…long ago, Retro arrived on planet Earth somewhere in Portland Oregon, during the year of 1981, Retro told Xzav that he heard about an awesome arcade place somewhere in Portland Oregon and then he left his home planet.

## Urban Legend

Polybius is an urban legend about a rare arcade game released in 1981. The game was created by a mysterious company called Sinneslöschen (German for "Sense Deletion") and was a puzzle/shoot-'em-up somewhat like Tempest. Polybius is a fictitious 1981 arcade game that is part of an urban legend. The legend describes the game as part of a government-run crowdsourced psychology experiment based in Portland, Oregon. Gameplay supposedly produced intense psychoactive and addictive effects in the player. These few publicly staged arcade machines were said to have been visited periodically by men in black for the purpose of data-mining the machines and analyzing these effects. Allegedly, all of these Polybius arcade machines disappeared from the arcade market.

### Polybius

What is this? Polybius is a powerful game entity; it has been shown to be a large green or cyan geometric digital 3-D entity with no clear goal that has been recognized and has nether or not been identified as being malicious in nature or evil in intention as Polybius itself possesses Retro as his new spiritual guardian inside. Since they fused their soul together and gave him great arcade powers naming himself Polybius!Retro, it appears to have a passive behavior and the innocent inside, but utterly can go into being completely hostile when it feels threatened, making it unpredictable. Polybius has been shown to do the impossible such as travel through gaming dimensions and virtual reality with ease and can seem to rewind the very fabric of time across multiple games and arcades, it is not impossible to say that boundaries don't apply to this entity and that it has achieved or was given some form of limitless power allowing for it to do as it pleases.

## Capabilities

While Retro is fused by an urban legend arcade game called Polybius, he has long gained sentience and a created unique attribute to how it operates. Being the first of its kind in Arcade!Verse, this mythical arcade game is able to sort and learn and use the power qualities of emotions and illogical thinking from others. However, if Polybius!Retro ever take off his visor, his powers will increase and buff, giving him new powers and abilities as it gives him the true power of Polybius itself, he will show no mercy and his skills comes to play if he is being threatened.

## Powers

* Standard Powers
* True Powers

* **Hallucikinesis:** He is able to cast hallucinations in order to further his torment of his victims. All of his hallucinations, illusion are brutal in nature and despite their various purposes, all of his hallucinatory abilities serve one common goal to torture his enemies to madness. His hallucinations are seemingly endless with his main ones being those that show distorted and corrupted versions of his victims to their families and friends in order to further destroy their mental state, which he can also use to further tempt his victims into joining them in death.

* **Mind-Walking:** Polybius!Retro primary ability is being able to infect people's minds and manifest within them, specifically when they interact with his console, allowing him to gain a grasp on their minds and begin his torment by unleashing several other abilities.

* **3-D Geometric Blaster:** Polybius!Retro made this blaster with his own game magic and used very powerful game spells. Got it from the arcade machine of Polybius. This Geometric 3-D blaster is so powerful every time it is fired, it turns into game code cubes and when fired, it releases chaotic energy when it charges up to 100 percent, this energy is secreted up to 300 kilometers.

* **Geometric Grid Daggers:** Faster and harder than the original, Polybius!Retro often uses them for defense and in combination with his other skills to create a geometric matrix or to trap opponents. His dimensional game shard is always pointed at the head to increase damage every time he attacks an enemy, it will be like a classic shard every time he defends.

* **Reality Warping:** Polybius!Retro can exert a higher level of control over reality, warping and reshaping the environment on a larger scale, limited only by the extent of his power.

* **Geometric Ray:** His own version of the code ray, the first shot of the ray would completely shut down a person's abilities and magic leaving them as a powerless being. Upon the second shot, it causes a digital footprint over the victim which causes a mass of loading to appear and destroy the person.

* **Insanity Inducement:** As Polybius!Retro mind-infected continues to linger in his victims' minds, they slowly begin to lose their sanity before they degrade enough to the point of becoming completely and totally insane. The degradation of their sanity allows for him to further gain a better grasp on his victims and convince them into committing acts of violence against themselves.

* **Nightmare Manipulation:** He is capable of inducing nightmares in his victims for when they fall asleep.

* **Nausea Inducement:** He can make his victims become nauseous, tired and paranoid, leading him to be able to further degrade their mental state until they've completely lost their mind and are susceptible to his influence.

* **Metaversal Shift:** Polybius!Retro can transcend not only dimensions but entire multiverses. This power, known as "Metaversal Shift," allows him to explore different universes, each with its unique set of secrets and mysteries. He can draw upon the knowledge he gain from these journeys to further empower himself.

- **Data Manipulation:** Polybius!Retro possesses the ability to manipulate digital information, allowing him to control and alter data within his immediate vicinity. Being the Vessel of polybius arcaded souls, he is also able to use this to attack the code directly or make his existing attacks stronger.

* **Game Dump:** When the targets hide in other worlds or try to run away, he can simply use this ability that shows him all the Assets in a world or game world and allows him to pick out any that stand out. When he finds out which is standing out it simply removes them and then Recalls them.

* **Poly-Ray:** He is capable of charging up a beam of energy in his palm, which he then shoots out in the form of a massive blast at least 25 meters in height and 30 in width, this blast allows him to wipe out entire AUs and turn code-based beings into small files that Polybius!Retro can absorb. If this beam hits practically anything in its way it will instantly kill them as long as Polybius!Retro is stronger than them, if they're stronger the beam will only do some damage. He can also shoot small rays out of his fingers which temporarily stun his enemies the more rays that hit, the longer it will stun them. It can also create portals and fire this attack in them in order to hit the opponent no matter where they are as a single blast can vaporize any universal or 10th dimensional being if it's fully charged.

* **Polybius Blasters:** Polybius!Retro upgraded Blasters which are glitched out versions of the original, it can unleash powerful blasts of energy that originate from the heart of Polybius. These blasts can disrupt and corrupt the data of anything it touches, causing glitches and malfunctions in both organic and entities.

* **Poly-Orb:** Polybius!Retro summons an energy ball powered by the concept of decay, once he shoots it forward and it makes contact with the target, it explodes, causing devastating decaying effects on the body of the target and the area around them unless they heal in the next nanoseconds.

* **Data Relocation:** He is able to destabilize his own particles and reappear at any location he is aware of as this has no known range, though he does need to remember a certain spot of the location off by heart.

* **Data Storage:** He is capable of turning entities into pure, dark blue pixels of varying size, which then instantly is either transported into the Game Data storage or can be used for weapons.

* **Urban Renewal:** Polybius!Retro has the ability to regenerate almost any limb or portion of his body, though whatever portion he wishes to regenerate must be completely severed from his body. Once a limb or portion of his body has been severed, he can morph and alter his bone structure to create an entirely new limb, this limb typically being one that’ll aid him in combat. He can also shoot out large, alien tendrils from almost anywhere in his body, each tendril being tipped with code that originates directly from Polybius, meaning being impaled by these tendrils may result in his enemies being infected with radiation.

* **Polybius Eye Hypnosis:** By removing his visor, Polybius!Retro reveals his true eyes as an 8th-Dimensional Space and psychedelic eyes as it can put others in a trance, making them highly suggestible and allowing him to affect or directly influence their minds to his commands. He can take complete control of others' SOUL, allowing him to alter, distort, and warp their mind to think various things, commonly using this method to force others into serving him. He can control the minds of others with targets being completely subject to their mental control. If the victims were placed into a semi-conscious state, they may not have any recollection of the previous actions that they performed while under his effect.

* **Poly Strings:** These strings are cyan pixelated cubic strings but a lot more powerful, these strings act as sentient strings, capable of extending and ensnaring opponents. Once entangled, these strings penetrate the very essence of his targets, corrupting and destabilizing their existence. Victims find their abilities nullified, memories distorted, and physical forms subjected to a chaotic transformation. The Fatal Strings ability allows him to manipulate the very essence of those ensnared, imposing his glitchy influence upon them.

* **Black Magic:** Polybius!Retro is capable of inflicting mass in an object, completely having control over the gravitational influence that it has as this can go from all the mass in an object to a certain group of mass in it.

* **3-D Geometric Storm:** Polybius!Retro can create so many 3-D Geometric shapes that he can manipulate those and spin them infinitely in a direction, this creates a tornado and storm of Gaming 3-D Geometric Shapes and Numbers that damage anything in their way and cause code based beings to glitch out of existence, this storm is very dangerous for everybody as it can also wipe out entire AUs and be bigger than them, this attack could probably screw over a few or more AUs.

## Transformation

### POLYBIUS

A form that occurs whenever Retro comes into Polybius' presence, he will immediately have his full potential unlocked for as long as he remains in Polybius' presence. This adds a Game Code Energy glow effect to his entire body as they are able to utilize the full potential of the urban legend. This buffs all of his abilities as his attacks will now hold an aspect of his Code Energy, inflicting a minor version of the negative effects that the Full Codes Energy inflicts as it gives wings with psychedelic dimensional eyes and monstrosity face.

**Reality Weave:** In this form, he gains the ability to manipulate the fabric of reality itself. He can distort, bend and reshape the environment to his will, this includes altering the laws of physics, creating illusions and even generating entirely new dimensions. The Reality Weave ability grants him unparalleled control over the very essence of existence within a localized space.

**Chaos Infusion:** Polybius possesses the ability to infuse chaotic energy into the environment, causing spontaneous and unpredictable disturbances. This chaotic energy can manifest in various forms, from reality-warping anomalies to sudden shifts in the laws of physics. He can harness this power defensively, creating unpredictable barriers and distortions or offensively, unleashing waves of chaotic energy to disrupt and disorient opponents.

**Code Energy Utilisation:** Thanks to Polybius being pure Code Energy, touching it even once will force you to take as much damage as the Geometric Ray. While also being able to use this to teleport anywhere in the hyperverse, including it's dimensions, Polybius is able to utilize the Geometrical Energy in the 8th-Dimensional Space to create attacks such as blasts, projectiles and weapons which scale to Hyperverse level damage that can cut through almost anything like butter.

**Eyes Of Polybius:** Gazing into his eyes for at least 5 seconds would send the most sane of people into a deep, deep fear that they could be paralyzed, headache, or nausea by the very sight itself (This won't work on Ghost!Drift, Sora!Drift, and Bioshock!Drift).

**Death Code:** The death code is a dangerous and a malicious malware code that carries deadly malware, it can obliterate the very code of anything or anyone he desires. Allowing the complete instantaneous destruction of Metaverses, the complete eradication of people and gods, the ability to annihilate any attack, and can counter Code Manipulation.

**Polybius:** This is Scaling of Polybius finishing move, instantly sending him back to Polybius!Retro after he uses this. It is a large beam that fires directly from a summoning base azimuth blaster that is the size of planet neptune, sending out large planetary size beams that all connect in a circular fashion like the star wars death star beam. Once doing so, it will then cover the entire area in-between the center of base azimuth, compressing before releasing a sudden explosion to the scale of a big bang theory, all at once. This is beyond the speed of light, imperceptible to any being whatsoever. However, afterimages allow for the beam to be seen after the destruction is done. If this beam is to strike an entity that comes from a universe with alternate timelines, every single timeline of that entity will overload in magic and turn into game codes or game files particles, or in short: it will turn them into ashes and dust.
