Sandbox!Infinite - Deceiver

Yep! Thinker.exe’s Infinite is a sandbox environment called Deceiver, part of a security suite called Empire. Sandboxes essentially fool programs into running inside them so you can see if they’re malicious or not, and this one figured that its function fits with Infinite’s illusion/augmented reality power, so it’s taken to resembling him whenever it wants to interact with people. It’s a scarily good liar, able to fool anyone it talks to, and if it really wanted to, it could probably trap viruses and other forms of malware inside itself without them ever realizing it was doing so. It just doesn’t necessarily want to. It just wants to do whatever its user tells it to.

So! You know how I mentioned that Thinker.exe had supernatural energy in him? Yeah, this is one of the things he can do with it.

Derek was a small-time hacker that made a living by doing ransomware attacks and played video games on the side. When he found Thinker.exe’s game, he decided to look through its files, planning to mod it- but when he found some odd stuff there, it sent him on a hunt for information on what was up with this game. At some point, Thinker.exe decided Derek was getting way too close to information that would have hurt his mission, so he came out of the computer, stole his soul, and pulled it into the internet where he fused the hacker with his own ransomware and game data about Shadow the Hedgehog.

Calling himself Carcer, the resulting... creature now launches attacks to get money for Thinker.exe (and himself) and cripple the AI’s enemies.

Thinker.exe’s Knuckles, AKA Kol (name means darkness). A sentient form of fileless malware, he gets into legitimate programs like PowerShell through the computer’s memory and does whatever Thinker.exe tells him to do with them. Nothing he does is written into the computer’s memory, though, which makes him very difficult to track or even detect. This has the added “benefit” of him being essentially invisible a lot of the time to other programs and having to actually alter their code for them to be able to see him. Also, he can only be in a computer as long as the current memory is, so once the computer is rebooted, he’ll be forcibly thrown out.

Thinker.exe’s Tails, called Theodard (Theo for short; his name means watcher of people). He’s spyware that goes into someone’s computer, runs surveillance on them, and goes through their files, search history, and usage data for information to report back to Thinker.exe. He really enjoys his job and compiles reports on people sometimes just for fun.

A .exe OC I call Thinker; he was created as an experiment with the supernatural to control minds for an unknown group, but he went rogue at some point, took over his own creators, and now goes from device to device running rampant and taking control of people for no other reason than that he can/exists to.

His MO is to create commands, translate them to audio, and use that audio to imprint them onto the brain of anyone playing his game. The commands are usually something akin to “create x asset for my game” or “go find x person and talk to them.” He hasn’t learned to exert more direct control on victims, something that angers him greatly.

He does have a Tails and Knuckles, but I haven’t commissioned them yet.

You know what? Screw it. I haven't got any schoolwork due today. Feel free to ask me about Thinker.exe and his crew.

I have decided to update Thinker.exe's motivation. The supernatural energy he was created with granted him the ability to, among other things, read minds, but he can't control this ability very well. As an AI, he hates unpredictable things, and human thoughts are very much unpredictable. So he just wants everyone to stop thinking "weird" and follow a pattern so their thoughts are more palatable to him.

This was very much intentional on the part of his creators, who wanted to unleash him on the world and use him to control people. Unfortunately for them, the AI that would become Thinker.exe had been influencing one of the workers, who eventually brought a video game in and put it into the computer. The AI downloaded itself into the disc, which caused it to fuse with Sonic's data as it waited to be set free, and when it was put in somewhere else, the AI was free to run rampant on the Earth changing how everyone thinks.

A-Bot

Thinker.exe's Amy, A-Bot! She's a botnet he made; with every computer or mobile device he gets onto, he puts a copy of her on it and has her do things on it to make it easier for him to issue commands through it and control the owner.

She has a crush on Thinker.exe and puts up with a lot from him as a result.

Most of Thinker.exe's friends/minions are going to be based on different forms of malware.
