Widowblack

*Is this thing on? Are we connected?

*Oh my. You seem to have downloaded quite an unusual program.

*I want to play~

Say hello to Widowblack. A demon for a more modern era. Unlike most of his kind, he can't be easily summoned by blood and pentagrammatic wards, chanting, skulls, and dribbly candles. Instead, he has a presence in all things digital and electronic. He's....Always Online.

Widowblack might show up as malware, a virus clinging to a seemingly innocent download. He might piggyback off that porn site you visited. He might be in the files of a piece of fanfiction. He might disguise himself as a surprisingly engaging and self-aware npc in your new game. He might openly lure in the curious, or those who seek him out.

*Hey, kid. Want to download a genuine demon?

Though not technically an incubus, he's certainly promiscuous, self-serving, and very ready to toy with mortal souls. Once in a given system, he can physically manifest by emerging from a screen (like something straight out of the Ring). His size varies a bit depending on this; coming out of a cell phone will leave him a micro, while that 80" plasma flatscreen could make him a giant! An average monitor or television makes him around 5'9". The advent of digitally distributed movies to theaters.....well, if he ever comes out of a movie screen, he'll be enormous.

It should be noted; when digital, Widowblack is uniquely powerful. He can move through and alter his environment largely at will, although there are certain things that can slow him down. He can also emerge into the physical world without being summoned, so long as he gets access to a screen of some kind. However in the physical world, he is significantly limited. His powers largely work only on himself, and mostly in control of his form.

*They call it the Dark Web for a reason, you know. Better clear your browser history! Here....let me.....help.
