Finn

The Glitch: The Glitch, also known as The Darkness, or The Corruption, is an apocalyptic ink-like blob that destroys everything in its path, but usually corrupts characters instead. It is a glitchy, black substance which turns characters into zombies that are forced to smile. The Darkness seemingly has no mind of its own, simply causing and destruction all around its area. The glitch constantly emits some kind of glitch-static sound. |

Corrupted characters are usually identified by having no pupils or irises, having portions of the Glitch on them, or being directly within it, and by having glitchy and stuttery voices. Corrupted characters are very difficult to kill (due to the darkness keeping them alive) but can be done. One can resist the glitch if they have enough control, and they can actually be freed from the darkness if saved by a survivor, though how to is unknown. The darkness cannot corrupt deceased characters with ease. |

Corrupted characters can sometimes appear uncorrupted, but they can't maintain that facade for long. The corruption can also modify the anatomy of characters, such as making their arms objects (if they had any before or while getting corrupted, though that on it's own is rare) or by making their faces have creepy smiles by stretching their faces like it's slime. |

Sometimes some corrupted characters can reach the real world but for a certain time before returning to fiction (respectively to their original Content Media). |

The glitch can wrap around things with tendrils, ranging in size from thin strings to thick rope-sized wires. |

Types of corrupted characters: Common: The most basic type. | Striker: One who has a weapon from the corruption or sharp mutations on their body. | Monster: Heavily modified and dangerous. Very strong and violent. | Stalker: Stronger than monster. Can mimic voices of other characters. | Infusion: Two or more corrupted characters merges into one. | Amalgamation: Same as the infusion type, but with three or more characters. | Risen: One that has died before, but has been revived by the means of the corruption. | Suspender: One who spies on survivor and attacks when they lower their guard. | Butchered: Sub-type of common that is harder to kill. | Projectionist: One who can project hallucinations and illusions into survivors. |

Corrupted Finn: Design Description

---

Overall Appearance:

• Corruption: Finn has been overtaken by the glitch corruption, visible in the scattered black squares, fragmented pixels, and static glitches riddling his body. These glitchy distortions are irregular and spread across his form, breaking his body into chaotic segments.

Facial Expression:

• Eyes and Mouth: His facial features have a distorted, manic look. His eyes are wide, with one being completely overtaken by a glitch effect, giving a chilling, broken stare. His mouth is frozen in an unsettling grin, hinting at his corrupted mind, as if he is perpetually locked in an endless battle between joy and madness.

Clothing:

• Outfit: Finn still wears his iconic blue shirt and white hat, but the glitch effect disrupts sections of his clothing, making his appearance fractured. The glitch tends to break apart the lines of his body and attire, giving him a half-digital, half-physical look. His signature backpack is also still visible, though similarly corrupted.

Sword:

• Corrupted Demon Blood Sword: Finn's once-heroic weapon, the Demon Blood Sword, is now infused with the glitchy corruption. The blade is fractured, with visible glitches along its edges, pulsing with unstable energy. The yellow color of the sword now has pixelated black distortions crawling up from its base, making it appear as though it is part of the corrupted Finn, an extension of the glitch infection itself.

Body:

• Glitchy Limbs: His limbs have multiple breaks caused by the glitch corruption. His legs and arms are stretched and fragmented, making his movements erratic and unpredictable. The glitches make it appear as though parts of his limbs are teleporting short distances or "skipping" frames, like a broken animation. His hands are particularly affected, with his fingers twitching unnaturally, emphasizing his dangerous, corrupted nature.

Corrupted Energy:

• Aura: Surrounding Finn is a subtle, glitchy aura, indicating that the corruption is still active and growing. This aura seems to pull parts of his form in and out of existence, making him flicker with every movement. The energy from the glitches seeps into everything he interacts with, slowly corrupting his surroundings.

Impression:

This Corrupted Finn design gives off a sense of distortion and danger, as if the pure-hearted hero has been consumed by an insidious force beyond his control. The glitches not only alter his appearance but also symbolize the breaking of his once brave and noble character, leaving behind a terrifying shell of his former self.

Corrupted Finn: Status and Abilities

---

Status:

• Name: Corrupted Finn
• State: Fully corrupted by the Glitch
• Personality: Once a heroic and adventurous boy, Finn has now become a twisted, chaotic version of himself. His mind has been warped, and his sense of morality is erased, replaced by the singular goal of spreading the glitch corruption. Although bits of his personality may resurface for brief moments, they are quickly consumed by the corruption again.
• Allegiance: The Glitch/Corruption
• Hostility: Highly dangerous and unpredictable, attacking anything that isn’t corrupted.
• Survivor Interaction: Rarely shows mercy, but remnants of his old self may cause him to hesitate when encountering someone from his past.

Current Abilities:

1. Glitch Manipulation:

   • Description: Finn can control the glitching energy within himself, using it as both an offensive and defensive tool. The glitch energy distorts reality around him, warping environments, objects, and even other characters. He can spread the corruption to anything he touches, causing it to glitch and slowly disintegrate or mutate.
   • Range: Medium range. He can project glitch energy in short bursts, infecting objects or opponents within a few meters of him.

2. Reality Warping (Limited):

   • Description: Due to the corruption, Finn can now bend the laws of reality, making his body flicker between dimensions or break apart like a faulty animation. This allows him to phase through solid objects or bypass traditional physical barriers, effectively making him harder to catch or predict.
   • Effect: Creates unpredictability in his movements, allowing him to teleport short distances or shift rapidly to avoid attacks.

3. Glitch Teleportation:

   • Description: Finn can use the corruption within him to teleport in a glitchy fashion. Unlike traditional teleportation, this ability makes his body flicker between points, often leaving a distorted trail behind him. This makes it difficult for his opponents to track his exact movements.
   • Range: Can teleport up to several hundred feet in an instant, particularly when hunting down targets or escaping danger.

4. Sword of Corruption (Demon Blood Sword):

   • Description: Finn's once-holy sword has been overtaken by the corruption, transforming it into a terrifying weapon. The sword can extend and break apart with glitchy energy, turning it into an unstable, lethal tool. Each strike can infect enemies or objects, causing them to glitch and disintegrate.
   • Special Ability: The sword has the power to corrupt anyone it touches, rapidly infecting their body and mind with glitchy energy, turning them into corrupted minions under the control of the glitch.

5. Superhuman Strength and Durability:

   • Description: The corruption has significantly enhanced Finn's physical abilities. His strength and resilience have increased, allowing him to perform feats beyond his normal limits, such as easily breaking through walls or overpowering opponents.
   • Effect: Enhanced combat capabilities. His corrupted state also makes him more resistant to physical damage, as his glitchy form can repair itself or phase through attacks.

6. Unstable Speed:

   • Description: Finn can move at erratic, lightning-fast speeds, especially in combat. His movements are jittery and unpredictable, making him difficult to hit. This also allows him to overwhelm opponents with rapid, corrupted strikes.
   • Effect: Near-impossible to predict due to his glitchy, teleporting nature during combat.

7. Corruption Spread:

   • Description: Finn's corruption has the power to infect others, rapidly spreading through physical contact or proximity. Anyone who interacts with him for too long runs the risk of becoming corrupted themselves, as the glitch spreads through their body and mind, breaking them down into twisted versions of themselves.
   • Effect: Creates new corrupted minions and spreads the influence of the glitch, amplifying its control over reality.

8. Flickering Presence:

   • Description: Finn’s very presence causes glitch distortions in the world around him. Objects, people, and the environment may start to flicker, change shape, or glitch out entirely just by being near him. This creates a constantly shifting battlefield where reality becomes unstable.
   • Effect: Causes disorientation for opponents and disrupts the surrounding environment, making it harder for enemies to focus or maintain control.

---

Weaknesses:

• Residual Humanity: Though rare, small fragments of Finn's former self may surface, giving survivors brief opportunities to connect with the old Finn and disrupt the glitch’s control, though it’s usually temporary.
• Vulnerable to Pure Energy: Light-based or pure-energy attacks have the potential to damage or disrupt the corruption. These energies may temporarily stop Finn's regeneration and glitch abilities, making him vulnerable for a short time.

---

Threat Level:

• Extremely High: Corrupted Finn is a dangerous and chaotic foe. His ability to distort reality and spread the glitch makes him a deadly opponent capable of reshaping the battlefield to his advantage, and his unpredictability makes him even more terrifying.
