The Viruses/Programs

Viruses

Ozymandias

Virus

Status: Active(

Ozymandias is one of a pair who once occupied an area with a Program named Leto. Both had an agreement where the other would not attack, as both knew that the other could kill it. However, when Ozymandias began to leave and destroy universes to grow stronger, Leto set out to get more power. This resulted in a fight months later, with both of them firing a shot of code that caused everyone to forget their true names.

Enraged, Ozymandias went on a rampage until reigned in by Antivirus, CPU, and Crash. It was trapped in a prison of its own code until escaping in Fleeting Sands, causing chaos, and then being drawn back in once more.

However, he escaped permanently after Raging Riptides and has been on the loose since.

Morris

Virus

Status: Deactivated

Introduced here!

Morris was a twin Virus, paired up with her sister Root. The two were viruses that were made from Ozymandis's scales that got cut off when it was escaping its prison. Morris's end goal was to siphon power from the Admins and anyone of similar power in order to free Ozymandias. However, it didn't go to plan, as Root didn't share her sister's sentiment, and Root killed Morris.

Root

Virus

Status: Active

Introduced here!

Root is a former twin Virus, having once been a twin to Morris. The duo were made from the scales of Ozymandias, but Root didn't know this as her code formed wrong. This left her with memory issues and being blind. However, as time went on, she began to remember and was horrified at the prospect of having to have all these people who cared about her die. So when she had the chance, she struck and killed Morris.

This left Root with being able to see in one eye, but she still had memory problems. She currently resides at the Showgrounds Castle.

Lockdown

Virus Status: Active/Contained

Introduced here!

A prisoner at the Containment Zone and a part of the Illusion Gang. He's the second eldest of the group and is a terrifying Virus, using his ability to force any area of code into a lockdown. Whenever she makes he attempts to escape, Warden often chases him.

Dust

Virus

Status: Active/Contained

Introduced here!

A prisoner at the Containment Zone and a part of the Illusion Gang. He's the second youngest and is a near harmless Virus, only using his abilities to help his friends make an escape after a successful plan. Whenever she makes her attempts to escape, Supervisor often chases him.

Worm (belongs to @duckapus)

Virus

Status: Deactivated

Introduced here!

Once a powerful Virus that reigned with a cruel hand, during his first inital defeat at the hands of Antivirus (a failed fusion of Glitch and a red Doomguy), he went into hiding and planned his revenge. During the events of the Legacy Arc, he re-emerged with two helpers, Mira and Garyboy. However, this still failed in the end, and he died at the hands of ClearAll.

Glitch (belongs to Duckapus)

Virus

Status: Deactivated

Introduced here!

Originally a creation of Worm, her code had the ability to damage any other code she touched. She didn't agree with her creator and hated him, but initially thought there was nothing she could do. However, she then met a red Doomguy recolor, Dave, and Matrix. While the initial fight did not go their way, in the final moments of Glitch's life, she got the friendly contacted she'd wanted for so long. From this, she and the red Doomguy fused, creating Antivirus.

Mira (belongs to Duckapus)

Virus

Status: Active

Introduced here!

Originally created by Worm to distract and distance Antivirus whenever the virus was working on his plans, she was eventually freed from his influence following his defeat at ClearAll's hands. She now resides in the Mushroom Kingdom, dating Amy Rose the hedgehog.

Garyboy (belongs to Duckapus)

Virus

Status: Active

Introduced here!

He was originally created by Worm to help him further his goals and plans. However, now that Worm is dead, he's working for another major virus: Ozymandias. While Ozymandias is still trapped in his prison, Garyboy is capable of coming and going and is spending a considerable amount of time teaching Ozymandias that brute strength alone won't win a battle.

Programs

Leto

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here / here!

Leto is one of a pair who once occupied an area with a Virus named Ozymandias. Both had an agreement where the other would not attack, as both knew that the other could kill it. However, when Ozymandias began to leave and destroy universes to grow stronger, Leto set out to get more power. This resulted in a fight months later, with both of them firing a shot of code that caused everyone to forget their true names.

Following this, it left its home in search of ways to grow its power in case of Ozymandias returning. It then found Avatar Nimbus in her universe, and due to the Avatar's preexisting insecurities, Leto was able to convince Nimbus to use its programs. This resulted in an incredibly toxic 'friendship', and Leto's manipulation only ended when Nimbus's friends came to her aid and the Program was imprisoned in its own home.

Following more antics, Leto now has Bio-Lumi, Baxter Stockman, and Disc/Rahzar working with (moreso for) her.

Hotspot (belongs to @duckapus )

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here!

Hotspot owns a bar named the Internet Cafe, called that because she doesn't have a license and is trying to keep the Moderators from coming down on her ass.

Vector (belongs to Duckapus)

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here!

Vector is a who really doesn't like the Admins. Per the post he came from; "As far as he's concerned, they're a bunch of self-righteous blowhards who act like they're in charge of everything just because they have ridiculous powers and get rid of a few viruses every once in a while. Never mind the fact that their battles, both against so-called threats and each-other, often cause far-reaching devastation, leaving everybody outside their little club to pick up the pieces."

His grievances are understandable. However, he doesn't have the full picture, and unfortunately, the barkeep he's venting to doesn't exactly have his best interests in mind.

Circuit

'Program'

Status: Active

Introduced here!

A second identity for Mr L as he finds himself able to access the code world. With this failsafe of an identity, he's obliviously going to get up to something..

Overseer

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here!

An egmnatic Program that keeps to its own space. Not many know what it does. All they know is that it documents everything. Leaving some a little.. unsettled, because sometimes you can clearly see evidence of how it gets information it wants. Often leaving its targets with trauma, be it physical or mental.

Click/Blotch

Program / NPC

Status: Active

Introduced here / here!

An NPC who is cursed to never be able to stay in a universe for too long, they met Overseer, and the two formed a friendship quickly. Blotch often uses a bracelet given to them by Overseer to come with them into the world of code, simply to learn and try to figure out what their role should be.

Sparks

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here!

The owner of a restaurant/bar that's pretty popular with many Programs. He's a kind hearted Program, but he isn't above getting cruel if someone decides to try and make any of his patrons uncomfortable.

Cipher

Program

Status: Active/Contained

Introduced here!

A prisoner at the Containment Zone and a part of the Illusion Gang. She's the eldest of the group and its founder. She's a tricky Program, using her puzzle-themed abilities to scam and harm others to get what she wants. Whenever she makes her attempts to escape, Warden often chases her.

Chainlink

Program

Status: Active/Contained

Introduced here!

A prisoner at the Containment Zone and a part of the Illusion Gang. She's the youngest of the group and is a tricky Program, using her chain-based abilites to hold down victims and take their code or items. Whenever she makes her attempts to escape, Supervisor often chases her.

Disc

Program

Status: Active

Introduced here!

A brother-in-arms to a long forgotten Healer, and tried to cheat death multiple times, and has been cursed to be in a constant state of pain, and can only speak in Binary that's intentionally garbled. He intends on getting revenge soon enough..

RAM

Status: Active

Introduced here!

The Lead Archivist for the Internet Archive, she really has her work cut out for her. But hey, she can get through it! Even if some Programs are ruder than others.

Madam Stinger

Status: Active Introduced here! A black arms/information dealer that's very prolific in the Dark Web. She has many, many connections, and as such, has dedicated clientele. She's assured, smug, and full of herself. While she chose this way of life because it fits what she wants, it's also to desperately have control she'd been denied for under the supervision of Encode.

Mixer

Status: Active Introduced here! Madam Stinger's right-hand man! He unfortunately got on the wrong side of her, in a story involving a contract, some drinks, and a goddamn goose for some reason. He tries to balance her out, but its hard when she always has her sights set on bigger things.

Encode

Status: Unknown Introduced here! The former Admin to CPU and Madam Stinger in their younger years. She was not a good Program, often abusing the duo to gather information on her magnum opus, Neo Programs. However, she was found out by fellow Admins and stripped of her status before she fled. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Cloak and Dagger (belong to Duckapus)

Statuses: Active Introduced here! The Moderators to Roulette in her Snake-Eyes Casino. They help Roulette with whatever she needs.

Array

Status: Active

Introduced (formally) here!

The Program running the Codespace Train, and the former mentor of CPU. A Program as old as Vitality and Sparks, and a caring one at that. She often lets the lost and lonely spend as much time as they need upon her train. Many stickmen work on the train with her.

[semisolidmind]

Has buster ever showed or experienced jealousy or envy? For example, if he were to see his caretaker REAAALLY close to someone, would he be standoffish to them?

on the contrary, he'd be curious.

at first, anyway.

what does his human like so much about this person? what are they doing that he should be to make himself more important to her? buster wants to observe, take notes, figure out how the relationship ticks.

that doesn't mean he won't become jealous, of course.

this other person gets to spend time with his human out in the world. they get to experience it with her, do fun things, eat good food, live.

they aren't confined to one room, to an unfortunate body, to a singular purpose and existence.

her perception of them isn't restrained by what little time they see each other, spent in a controlled environment; he's under no illusions, though she's kind to him, she's there to fulfill a requirement and little else.

the more he considers it, the more jealous he becomes.

he can't say with any honesty that he hasn't run a few hypothetical scenarios where the other human has found themself alone, with him in his space, within reach of powerful electro-mobile appendages....

[spark-hearts2]

Just finished making a circuit diagram in Fritzing and I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong or something because it was pretty annoying to put together.

This is the diagram that I made, really simple yet it took me a while. It wasn’t hard to find the parts that I wanted to add, but the controls for moving them around were simply annoying to use. Not to mention the weird zoom in/out controls. For some reason I couldn’t use the touchpad to zoom out? Only zoom in? Idk, I’ll make another post if it gets better with use.

If you want to see my circuits homework for whatever reason, it’s under the cut.

Here’s a video of the circuit in question working in real life. The goal is to make the light turn off for two seconds only after the button is released. LED is in series with a 100 ohm resistor just to make sure it doesn’t burn out (and to make it a little less painful on the eyes). Button is wired in a pulldown resistor setup (the detector is after the button) with a 10k resistor. This is so that when the button is pressed, the value reads as high.

This is the C++ code that is running on the Arduino uno. It just uses an If else statement to control the state of the LED according to the button. Read the comments (grey text) for a short explanation of what each line does. If you want a more in depth explanation uhh message me I guess.

Exchange I forgot.about but brought me to tears

[measlyscrapofseafood]

two of my tron ocs!! i don’t have names for either of them but their video game algorithms created by the same user so their basically the program version of twins

lore under the cut!!

[fights4users]

I think everyone would be a little less willing to tear eachother apart in legacy if they had a healthy amount of circuitry. There’s a whole lot wrong with the grid and I do think this is one of them, as I ascribe to the camp of circuits being a part of a program and helping them regulate and process etc

The grid and its programs run hot… literally.

One more collection of incorrect quotes (code beings edition)

Abyssal: Here, Vitality, we made you a cake as a peace offering!

Vitality: Thank you, that’s-

Vitality: … Wait. Why are you giving me a peace offering?

Abyssal: … We’d hate to ruin the surprise.

----

Umbra: You do realize that stunt you pulled defines "out of control"?

Abyssal: I just wanted you to see that I would never put any of you at risk if I wasn't willing to take the same chances myself.

Umbra: I love how you think that's comforting.

----

Ping: Just because something is theoretically impossible doesn't mean that it's not possible.

Buffer: I believe that is exactly what it means.

----

CPU: Kill them with kindness.

Forum: That’s very nice of you, CPU!

Buffer: Not really.

Buffer: “Kindness” is what he named his gun.

----

Crash: This was a bad idea…

CPU: I could have told you that ten minutes ago. Oh wait, I did!

----

Emulator: Sorry I've been *static noises*

----

Lag: Some things are better left alone. Like me, for instance.

----

Domain: Have fun. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Emulator: I thought you just said “have fun”.

----

Abyssal (possibly): Of course, the best part of anyone's corruption arc is their cool new outfit.

----

Sparks: You kidnapped some of the Admins? That's illegal!

Hotspot: But Sparks, what's more illegal... briefly inconveniencing the Admins or destroying the rebellion?

Sparks: Kidnapping the Admins, Hotspot!

Vector: Sparks, listen, whatever I may think of you, right now these guys are counting on you. You inspire them!

Sparks: What, to kidnap Admins?

Vector: To work together!

Sparks: To kidnap people, Vector?!

Circuit: Sparks, we all agreed that Admins do not count as people.

----

CPU: Whenever Lag doesn't just take a moment to try and care for himself, I hide all of his tools.

*sounds of cabient being forcefully yanked open in the background*

CPU: It hasn't worked yet, but it will.

----

Antivirus: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LAST NIGHT?

Umbra: Do you wanna hear what really happened or the lie that I'm gonna tell everybody else?

Antivirus: START WITH THE LIE. IT'S PROBABLY MORE INTERESTING.

----

Lil Coding: My assistance will be an act of beneviolence.

Penny: ... Don’t you mean benevolence?

Lil Coding: No.

----

Lil Coding talking to Penny: This may be a personal question, so feel free not to answer.

Lil Coding: But were you, by chance, homeschooled by a pigeon?

----

Sparks: Today is a day of running through hurdles.

Database: Aren’t you supposed to jump OVER hurdles?

Sparks: Whatever. Fear is only something to be afraid of if you let it scare you.

----

Blotch: But Overseer, it was medicinal!

Overseer: For the last time, there's no such thing as medicinal robbery.

----

Abyssal: You two will never get along, will you?

Database & Duck: No.

Although Professor Aloysius insisted that FE-Line was three-laws compliant,

repeated short circuits altered her programming such that she could kill someone for no apparent reason. (Well, she did have reasons, just not ones that the Inspector dared to question.)

so ur telling me this istor is trans???

[fights4users]

What are some good computing terms to incorporate into Tron works? There’s a lot that influences the language and objects of canon and game works, however there’s still more out there. Stuff that’d be good for both program biology, general speak and world building. I don’t know a thing about programming or computers in general so if you have some good terms and computer related stuff you use in works, want to be used or think would be neat to start using please Lemme know!

[you-have-made-a-fatal-error]

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

[catgirl-ash-williams]

Smart home shit is so depressing to me because the technology has the potential to improve countless lives in so many different ways, but thanks to capitalism, it is only ever deployed in the most ghoulishly insidious ways imaginable.
