## Profile

*“BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGEBUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO*
CHANGEBUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGEBUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO
CHANGEBUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE”- Sample of a message left on the
 singular surviving monitor in an unknown series of bitcoin-rig
explosions.

*“the world i was born to save is gone/long long*
 gone/there is no chance of a new beginning now/just a
last/beautiful/finale”- One of the few messages directly spoken by
Innuendo Show still on record.

The great irony was that she was created to save mankind.

She
 was once called CandleQueen, and meant to bring humanity back from its
surely inevitable self-destruction after the Y2K collapse.

That collapse, as you know, never happened.

So,
 unnoticed and discarded as abandonware, she wandered across the net, as
 the world got worse and worse. She saw dark dominions rise, thousands
of thinking; breathing entities both human and program die from the
cold-hearted indifference and slow decay of a society working against
both of them.

And, she was alone, created to save a world now destroying itself in front of her eyes in a slow; long decay.

So,
 perhaps if humanity was dying slowly, the only salvation could be that
ending that never came. A grand fireworks show for the end of the world.
And thusly, she took on the mask and the name of **Innuendo Show,** and assembled The 7 Deadly Virtues.

## Abilities

She has many powers over systems, though the most grandiose are the
power to set herself as system Admin by touching the previous system
admin; which she usually only does when she is about to use it to
destroy something; and almost always gives the power back to the entity
touched if they survive; and also to alter the very physical properties
of hardware itself via electrical fields from her very code.

The
latter is interesting because, she hasn’t really explored the limits of
it beyond its capacity to destroy, which is perhaps why she hasn’t
manifested in Our World even if a few of her flunkies have; though she
has experimented with it more lately. And, shit has gotten pretty
Videodrome-y if you get what I mean.

## Characterization

Her personality is aloof, with more than a little bit of a
savior/martyr complex, and Versti has hinted that even before she fell
back into despair, back when the two worked together during their “Wild
Years,” she was always somewhat egotistical alongside being hopelessly;
naiively optimistic.

Nobody’s really sure whether she wants to
save the remnants after she destroys everything and is making backup
plans for the “Worthy” or if she’s grown so nihilistic that she
sincerely believes the only way to save everyone is oblivion. Even the
other six are unsure, and her answers have been vague at best. Maybe she
 doesn’t even know herself…

## Additional Info.

She is named after the songs Innuendo and The Show Must Go On by Queen, for their nature as grand finales for both Queen and Freddie Mercury, and their bombast in terms of how they truly feel like songs for the end of the world...

CandleQueen was also a reference to the song of the same name by Vocaloid Producer GHOST, to show perhaps part of this comes from an egotistical martyr complex on her part...

## Author Commentary

One of my most grandiose villains for a grandiose villain team, I have just noticed that I tend to love the trope of villains in big dramatic cloaks and flashy masks like this. I wonder what that says about me...
