Side Character Profile: Virus Projection

This supporting character profile has been released in order to assist our Artists and Writers in their art of bringing characters to life. This brief report is a suggestion of what the final character will be, and is subject to alteration in the future. Enjoy!


Virus Projection

Background: The Doomsday Virus infected nearly every computer system in the United States connected to an internet system. It targeted only certain servers within the US' borders, including those at Quantonium Labs. The internet link in the Quantonium Lab Holoprojectors made them vulnerable to the virus, and they became infected. The result was a monsterous projection created by both elements combined.

The Holoprojector creates tangible force fields in certain shapes depending on how they are programed. These projections may be as hard as diamonds or thin as air. The monsters take advantage of this, and while fighting with the Renegades, the projections make their arms sharp as blades and their bodies hard as rock. Yet when the Renegades are most vulnerable, they become immaterial, making them difficult to fight. The only way the Renegades defeat them is by finding ways to get to the projector and destroy it, causing the monsterous projection to fade into oblivion.

Appearance: Each projection looks similar, and when in its solid form, is covered with the strange glowing blue maze pattern typical of the virus. The over all colors fizzing throughout the character is electric-light-blue, white glare, blue-green, and similar shades. It has the shape of a brutishly large man (like a troll with a massive upper body) with small legs in comparison to its freakishly large arms, chest and shoulders. Where its upper chest, neck and head should be is a floating face in a ball of sparking and fizzling electricity, which also surrounds its body at all times. (A semi-close example of the floating face villian can be found in the Marvel Character Dormammu) The face is really just parts of the holoprojector exposed on the surface. It's ball of electricity of a head is round with the shoulders, showing no separation from arm to shoulder to head to shoulder to arm. It's arms end it sharp points as well as its feet. When becoming immaterial, the projection becomes semi-transparent, but the projector device itself still remains solid.The device itself is grey and black and looks very technical, complex, and is the approximate size of a DVD player or gaming system.
