Description Too much Hotline Miami, Plague Dogs, Shadowrun sort of amalgamated into this guy. I had really thought of him as a throwaway character, but he kinda grew on me. Like a fungus.

First painting in a loooooong time. and I hate it XD Oh wells, may the next one be better!

Without even realizing it until way late, I was heavily inspired by one of my favorite pieces by David Rapoza, Rabbit for Til's visuals. Womp womp.

TILDE ~ The Plague Rabbit [WIP]

~


I'm dripping sweet poison into your pretty ears,


...and slipping burning death into your blackened veins

Character Name: ~ [Tilde or Til, never Tilly or Tilly-willy]
Character Gender: Unknown, assumed Male
Character Era: Seventeen
Home Village: Spa'ring
Class: ERROR 403: FORBIDDEN Residual query data traces indicate Avatar was once Assassin Class.

Personality:
A smooth-talking, narcissistic, disease obsessed, mysterious rabbit-masked hacker. He's morally bankrupt, curious, confused, and a bit of a coward. He has a strong dislike for governmental bodies and dictatorships. His motivations could be simple summed up with "I did it because I wanted to see what would happen.”

Appearance: A tall, thin, emaciated avatar with pale mottled skin, his entire head is covered by a tight fitting, expressive white rabbit mask. His veins show black through the patchy white fur, and his bare skin shows red and chapped around his hands and wrists, as if mildly frostbitten.
Tilde

Backstory:
[PLAYER NAME REDACTED] was a simple script kiddie who created several small hacks for his own amusement. Over time he grew so obsessed with the game to the point of losing his day job. Disenfranchised and resentful of the elitism he perceived online and offline he grew increasingly callous and his hacks grew malevolent. His most notable creation is the NYXEM worm, the first known worm virus to infect Player Characters in Cyberpolis.

WARNING: THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE AT THIS TIME FOR NYXEM INFECTION,
ENGAGE HACKER WITH EXTREME CAUTION

He has a strange relationship with Spumoni, part of him cares for him deeply and yet another wants to kill him, cut him up for Sunday dinner and wear his mane as a hood. He also really wants to eat that crazed swordsman, that bouncy ball kid and that witch who drum solo'd him into defeat.

First Hacker Attack
Tilde awoke in the Null with no recollection of his recent history. He came to the conclusion that he had been banished from the game world for what must have been a serious crime. Once more hackers entered, he sought contact but was forced into mortal combat. After his battle with Ivy, Tilde was teleported into VIRUS Headquarters by VIRUS member Mercurial Air, and apprehended by Fluffy Hamster working in tandem with Cynical Ace. His planned torture and subsequent execution was supposedly carried out with the assistance of Frozen Throne, but the details are a little hazy and lacking in documentation.

Post Hacker Attack
Due to VIRUS's overconfidence in handling his execution and a smidgen of luck, Tilde managed to fake his death and escape from VIRUS Headquarters after they tortured him. His confinement left him with a burning hatred for the organization, and he will hunt its known members with extreme prejudice. He has yet to confront his dear Spumoni regarding his disappearance.

Regarding Other Hackers/Current Whereabouts
Tilde has been apprehensive of interacting with his fellow hackers, but he remains curious and entertained by their actions. He would like to know them better, but lacks the ability to introduce himself. He dislikes the notion of Hacker Headquarters [a representational antithesis to what he believes should be anarchy] and instead frequents the outer Null Space that was once his battleground.

Viral Host: Nyxem Worm Tilde is infected with a sentient viral parasite called Nyxem. When dominant, the virus provides moderately boosted stats and HP at the cost of consistently draining health. If health reaches below 10, Nyxem will fall into a catatonic state, where Tilde regains control himself and loses all benefits of Viral Host.

Viral Host: Plague Beast Malady Tilde transforms into a massive Plague Dog and goes completely berserk. He is incapable of speech, and will attempt to Consume the nearest avatar, NPC, or monster. When active, Malady provides sharply boosted stats and HP while quickly draining health. If health reaches below 5HP, Malady will burst open releasing a torrent of infected flesh and fluids. Tilde emerges severely weakened, and unable to attack for 3 turns.

Viral Host: Plague Beast Fwuffy Tilde transforms into a tiny Arctic Hare, just the right size for curling up in your lap and cuddling! Mind the fleas though. Non-combative form, may be reverted at will.

Consume: A Viral Host ability must be active. Devours complex data to sustain, successful consumption results in a stack-able health boost.

Hacks:
Rabyte:Target(s) forcibly equipped with a bunny tail and ears. Successful targets are more susceptible to fleas. Equipment is cursed, will replace existing headgear/tail equips and cannot be removed for 3 minutes.

Defile: Tilde thrusts his arms into the ground, and corrupts the surrounding data, visually it takes on the appearance of diseased bruised flesh thick with ropey veins. Contact will immobilize any player touched, however Tilde himself cannot move while Defile is triggered.

Rabbit Hole: Can open up a small portal to another location instantaneously, 1 minute cooldown

Plague Dogs: Summons 1-4 large rabbit-dog beasts covered with boils and fleas, contact can spread White Blindness. Dogs act as if rabid, and will attack the nearest target.

Plague Fleas: A viral hack that can infect the host, spread by prolonged contact. Fleas can jump short distances and are nearly impossible to see.

Causes Unique Status Ailment: White Blindness. White blindness can be spread from infected player to player. Does 1 damage per turn to infected hosts. Causes fever, dehydration, and eyes to turn milky white and opaque. Can be fatal if left untreated. Cannot be cured by conventional potions, due to presence of viral data.

Three counters - Feverish, Dizzy, Milky Eyes (Vision slightly impaired, -2 DEX)
Four counters - Feverish, Dizzy, Milky Eyes (Vision severely impaired -4 DEX)
