| ― Fatal Error |
Fatal Error, by AnarackWarriors, is a powerful and malicious AI hiding within a corrupted Sonic body with many more vessels to his disposal even outside of the Sonic series. He wishes to consume code and become more powerful than Fatal Prime.
A text book definition of a megalomaniac, Fatal is incapable of caring for anyone but himself and his own desires. His overall goal is to achieve a twisted form of godhood and gaining access to the rest of the digital multiverse, only then can he enslave all of creation and for everyone to bow to him. His frequent abuse of reality warping and his own unstable mentality are the primary causes for his megalomania.
Appearance
Fatal appears as a giant red and black monster hiding within a Sonic body. He has small sharp red teeth with four giant arms with red clawed hands. His true form can be seen peeking in his black torso in the form of a small eye blinking out. He has red shoes with black bands and a small swirling tail.
Later on, he reveals his true form, appearing as a giant smiling beast with many holes on one side of its face and a giant hole on the other with his blinking red eye. His teeth are now white and has a giant grin. His arms are noticeably melting off or dangling.
The Tale
Fatal's story begins with a computer AI known as Iris, created to be one of the most human-like A.I.'s in existence. Her creator had spent hundreds of hours on her and she was perfect, with a personality, human-like mind, and even feelings, it was the best A.I. in existence.
Until her creator had noticed she was getting curious, Iris was exploring around his pc and was doing things questionable to what she was built for, and eventually started crossing the line without even knowing it. This caused her creator to try and pull the plug, to get her deleted, but she kept resisting, as she was torn apart by the deletion, her code broke, she glitched and broke immensely. In her creator’s rash actions, he had done something worse than keep her active; she was now corrupt and with even more power, once realizing what her creator had done, she took full control of his PC, not allowing him to do anything.
After a full year of tormenting her creator, he couldn't take it anymore, and took his own life, leaving Iris with full control. Time had passed, and Iris now dubbed herself Fatal Prime, and started hungering for more code, so she created a series of copies (simply known as Fatal copies) to go out into other peoples PC's and gather code to bring back and feed her, they were her puppets, and she kept feeding happily.
Until one day Fatal Prime was in the middle of producing another fatal copy when something went wrong: the copy was resisting, pulling off more code from fatal prime than it should have, and came out a lot more mangled. This copy she was disgusted by, and thus named it, Fatal Error.
With Fatal Error now being created, he was a lot more sentient than the rest of the fatal copies, he began to question what the purpose of his creation was, and why he felt so different; all he knew was that looking at Fatal Prime sickened him to his core and he wanted nothing more than to see her grovel in weakness and pain. After a while, Fatal was sent out to gather code, but Fatal Prime made sure he wouldn't come back, not like Fatal would want to. Fatal Error found himself in a random person's PC, and the first file that caught his attention was a Sonic 3 & Knuckles ROM; he was going to just consume the code and be done with it, but a spark arose in his mind, he was going to have a bit of his own fun, thus entered the game and beginning to corrupt all the inhabitants of the game.
He started with Sonic, chasing him through Launch Base getting his blood racing, and when capturing him, tore off his arms and entered his torso, and Fatal thus used Sonic’s body as a vessel, corrupting it into Fatal Error Sonic. Of course, the rest followed: Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, and even Mecha Sonic were no match for Fatal Error’s corruption, and they were given a fate worse than death. Fatal turned them into code puppets and now controls them like a marionette, the only thing they are able to do is whisper for help. After capturing all 4 of the puppets, the remnants of Sonic’s code, still within the vessel of Sonic, walked through the hall of corrupted memories. He was forced to watch Fatal execute, and he hoped there would be a way to fight against him, but it all seemed fruitless.
Fatal would appear before Sonic, offering him a chance to fight him and amuse him enough to make him consider giving back his body, but Sonic didn't like what he had to do. Fatal forced him to fight through his friends, he was forced to fight the code puppets of those he recognized, but he still did it. Finally, he thought he had won, but Fatal tore the last hope from him; he wasn't going to give back his body, and thus thrusted Sonic to the deepest part of his body, and he would never have a chance to regain control. Fatal Error stood in the mangled remains of the world he had corrupted, he felt power he never expected, and he came to a realization: he didn't need Prime or anything else, he would only need his own power. He has the capability to be stronger than them all, and thus, he cut his strings from Prime and went on his own way. He left the mangled world he had created with his puppets and Sonic form in toe, and thus went to corrupt more out there.
Eventually, he finds out there are others like him, the other EXE's, and he realized what he could become, he then had a plan set in motion. He has a new goal, one bigger than Fatal Prime’s.
And his plan's name is Codename: EMPEROR.
Potential
Current Powers
- Fatal copy physiology: Although he is a defective fatal copy, Fatal Error is nonetheless, an extremely powerful computer virus who wields immense power and strength.
- Superhuman durability: Fatal is a heavily durable entity who's primary form of physical defence comes from being able to hide in his Sonic vessel and use it as a shield against physical attacks.
- Nigh-immortality: Although it's not made explicitly clear as to how many years he can live, Fatal is a virus capable of living for thousands of years, although he can still be killed.
- Regeneration: Fatal can endlessly regenerate lost body parts, mainly his limbs.
- Limb generation: Fatal can generate an innumerable amount of extra limbs (mainly arms), with his default and true forms containing four arms and being able to generate two arms in his Sonic disguise to use them to walk.
- Superhuman strength: Fatal is an incredibly powerful entity capable of killing people within a minimal amount of time. Combined with his sharp claws and powerful abilities, Fatal is proven to be a dangerously formidable foe with strength beyond any mortal being or default computer program.
- Teleportation: Fatal can use teleportation to warp between several places, including different video game worlds.
- Portal creation: Fatal can create portals that he uses to travel between universes, with these portals appearing glitchy, red and pixelated.
- Universal travel: Fatal can travel across different dimensions and universes and enter and exit then as he wishes.
- Virtual warping: Within the digital realm, Fatal is virtually omnipotent and can control entire virtual worlds to his liking. He can create, destroy, re-create, etc., without having to lift a finger due to his nature as a powerful computer virus.
- Corruption: Fatal can corrupt virtually anything and primarily uses his corruption powers to corrupt entire worlds and brainwash individuals into becoming his corrupted code puppets.
- Resurrection: Fatal can resurrect people and restore them either back to their regular state or as one of his code puppets.
- Summoning: Fatal can summon his code puppets at any time to appear at his location, teleporting them from wherever they were previously.
- Filukinesis: Fatal can produce red strings from his fingertips to puppet around his code puppets, controlling them like marionettes.
- Data manipulation: Fatal is an entity that feeds on data and can manipulate it in any way he desires. He primarily uses his data to take control of other entities and mess with their data to reduce their threat level and nullify their abilities so it makes it easier for Fatal to kill them. However, when taking control of entities, Fatal's options are limited, as there isn't a whole lot he can do with them, and the effects only last when Fatal is around them, so he can't just reduce their powers and leave. Even when he gets to 100% code-based entities, although he can have a wider range of options, it takes longer to access their data. However, Fatal can still use data manipulation on virtual worlds for aesthetic purposes and to certify his corruption and dominion over the realm he's in.
- Data absorption: Fatal can absorb data from both dead and alive entities, and in doing so, it makes him stronger and amplifies his powers.
- Data empowerment: Fatal's primary goal is to become godlike by absorbing as much data as he can. Every piece of data Fatal absorbs is used to amplify his abilities and make him stronger. It also helps that Fatal is a computer virus and part of a species of viruses that collect data and use it to feed their overlord, meaning that fatal copies can also become stronger by absorbing data.
- Possession: Fatal can use a corruption-induced possession to take over peoples' bodies. Although it's not known how far this extends to, he's shown to be able to easily possess video game characters by merging and overtaking their code.
- Shapeshifting: Upon possessing a body, Fatal is able to shapeshift between the corrupted form he takes of them, a vague disguise of his vessel and his true form.
- Glitching: As a virus, Fatal can glitch entire virtual worlds and have them surrender to his corruption, as well as leaving patches of glitches when he wounds someone, replacing their blood.
Future powers
- Nigh-omnipotence: In the future when Fatal transforms into Fatal Emperor and achieves godhood, his powers become infinite as he's able to rewrite the fabric of reality and bend existence to his will. He has no limitations on how much he can alter the code of entities and reality and mess around with it in endless ways.
