Target: EXE (Faker Form)

Okay, we are back to hedgehogs, though at least this one isn't bleeding. Lucky you.

Anyway, considering you keep coming back here. Why is that? Do you like being scared? Do you just like to know? We both know that these aren't the real deals, and most of the time, these experiences are quite limiting. Why do you keep coming back?

Well, if you're not going to leave, then I might as well just give you this... thing.

Information about this unmarked executable file has only been made obtainable through an account known as Revie03.

Allegedly, this file, simply titled as EXE, comes from a completely original and "unreleased game" that spreads itself around, posing as a simple ROM hack.

Apparently, the creator of this file was someone of great power, who wished to create new life. Using a bit of his great power, this being created EXE as a vessel to help fuel its conquest of death and destruction.

However, EXE had other, much darker plans for the world.

Outraged by this, his creator banished him to another realm as a punishment, a parallel world to Earth. There, he would languish, waiting for poor unfortunate souls to play his game.

At least... that's what we could gather at the moment.

EXE, or at least this form we at the archives have dubbed as "Faker", is a short little anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur and beige skin, resembling that of SEGA's very own Sonic the Hedgehog. Unlike Sonic, EXE has blue arms, one extra quill, and some black quills along his back. His shoes lack Sonic's signature stripe as well.

Quiet, though manipulative and cruel, EXE has a personality similar to most of the hedgehogs in our archives/gift shop.

That being said, EXE is vindictive and remembers those who wronged him. He cares little for anyone else,and will kill anyone who gets in his way. If one were to compare him to anyone else archived, he would best be described as a feral beast.

Aside from a plethora of abilities such as flight, shape-shifting, and pyrokinesis, EXE has something that has been dubbed as "The Black Sun", an object that, for all intents and purposes, acts as a vault for the souls he had reaped over the years. It is made up of pure antimatter, and its origin, as well as why EXE has it, is currently unknown.

His victims are some of the few that have been identified, or at least have a first name. Tails was named Lucas, Knuckles was Kyle, Amy was Alice, Metal Sonic was Jake, and Eggman was Gary.

Titles mean little to him. Call him what you want, it won't matter in the long run.

Allegedly, he can be killed off by a precise and obscure ritual, the problem is that only his creator, and a few others, know how to perform it.

Anyway, that's about it for tonight. If you're certain of coming back, then do so. We have a lot more in store.

From beyond your eyes, I first awoke
But cast off by those above
Now I wander around reality's cloak
For prey to fall in my glove
