**Debut** | TBA

**Anti-Social Media** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA Sample of a Ngofeafdoeroocpihicvnynhittmeloaamfgisiroaayolnrcecuaototrtrllutrsaritenriruelhcettutct Oimaeseyshteomnioaeletlernvtbepusorkelnuiadhhshbcrhmropwayavethalrweaesoitit from the planet Eeeeeitpmrsngeabwlondepte. He is a free-use alien originally created by Shark.

## Appearance

Anti-Social Media is a small insectoid alien that only comes to the average person's knees, possessing a dark brown rectangular head with two beige and red elongated, leaf-shaped protrusions emerging from the sides that features four large eyes filled with binary numbers across them, while his "face" consists of a mouth with gray wires dangling out of the back of it, all of which situated above a thick bulbous yellow neck consisting of many fat folds. Anti-Social Media has a thin gray torso with four long tentacles, each of which ending with red tips and tiny spherical bioluminescent lights, while his pelvis is covered with a layer of shaggy hair which his four skinny legs each emerge from, covered with tattered red "pants" that cut off at the knees, revealing their thin black carapace underneath and stilt-like spikes he has for feet.

Anti-Social Media wears the Simplicitrix on his face above his mouth.

## Personality

Anti-Social Media is easily the textbook definition of a stereotypical cyberbully, having absolutely no form of self-consciousness, only finding joy when he mocks and harasses others through cyberspace, and speaking with extremely outdated online phrases and humors, like he was somehow stuck a whole decade in the past. Despite the undying beliefs that he is a "master troll on the Internet," his annoying tendencies makes it so he typically serves as nothing as the occasional inconvenience, although what he can accomplish regardless can still come off as shocking and over-the-top to some.

## Powers

* Anti-Social Media can continuously project a corruptive field of technological energy that once it has been absorbed into nearby electronic devices, it will infiltrate any media apps and servers that are stored within them, corrupting and contorting any images, messages, videos, audios, and other associated files into warped impressions of the original versions. A few examples include sending one of your online friends the message, "*hello lol*" would instead be corrupted into "*oi bitch*," while taking a family-friendly image would be distorted into a gruesome crime scene photo. Anti-Social Media can freely manipulate the range and intensify of the corruptive field however he desires.
	+ Through concentration, Anti-Social Media can imprint his own personality and mannerisms onto other people and even virtual avatars within forms of media, such as movies and video games, creating corrupted counterparts of their artificial intelligence should they have any.
* Anti-Social Media can teleport from location to location through breaking his cellular structure down into a state of pure digital energy and transporting himself from between any connected devices, whether they may be physically or wirelessly connected to one another.
* Anti-Social Media can visually perceive radio waves and sense electrical energy around him.
* Anti-Social Media can project extendable tendrils with bio-luminescent tips, either for lighting up dark areas or disorienting enemies with their light.
* Anti-Social Media can scale and walk on vertical surfaces through generating a slight static electrical pull from his legs to affix himself.
* Anti-Social Media has enhanced durability and intelligence when it comes to hacking and exploiting faults in programming.
* Anti-Social Media's cybernetic physiology grants him 360° degree head rotation, allowing him to see in nearly every direction around himself, assisted by his already wide view, resistance towards mind control and possession, and space survivability.

## Weaknesses

* Anti-Social Media becomes completely powerless without any sort of access to a digital medium, or a strong enough Internet connection, typically causing him to throw a temper tantrum over the fact. Should anyone with thick enough skin ignore his attempts to shock and disgust them with his corruption abilities, the results are the same with Anti-Social Media resorting to an outburst of childlike rage.
	+ Outside of his potential powerlessness without available mediums, Anti-Social Media is non-combative in nature, with his only offensive capabilities being grappling onto opponents with his tentacles and giving them a staticky zap with their bio-luminescent ends.
* Once an electronic device leaves the radius of Anti-Social Media's corruption field, whatever has been corrupted will automatically return to how they were, regarded as the fact that they were digitally "backed up" and restored by their server, meaning in order to force permanent changes onto them, Anti-Social Media must perform more strategic and complex methods of corruption.
* Should Anti-Social Media's technological transportation be interrupted through the device he intends to escape through being unconnected, he will be automatically spat back out the device he first went through, leaving him temporarily stunned as a result.

## Etymology

* Anti-Social Media's name is a play on "anti-social," referring to his personality, and "social media," referring to his abilities.
* Anti-Social Media's species name is an anagram of "relating to or characteristic of the culture of computers, information technology, and virtual reality," the definition for the word "cyber," and "a person who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable," the definition for the word "bully," both of which appearing as extremely long strings of gibberish that can be interpreted as keyboard mash, or "keysmash."
* Anti-Social Media's planet name is an anagram of "disagreement between people," the definition for the word "discord," which can not only refer to the corruption of his abilities, but also the instant messaging social platform of the same name.

## Trivia

* Anti-Social Media was entirely made by Shark, with his art based off a scrapped Nemetrix predator design made by Tom Perkins.
* Anti-Social Media comes from the same galaxy as Bear Hug, Circalien Rhythm, Hippokrampus, Turkey Gay, and Reigndeer.
* Anti-Social Media's 360° degree head rotation comes from the fact that his neck is completely made from fatty tissue, jokingly referencing the fact that many "online trolls" are regarded as fat teenagers that do nothing but sleep all day, eat junk food, and intentionally start Internet forum arguments for the sake of their amusement.
