The Dark Lord

Info

The Dark Lord, tentatively known as The Chosen One's enemy, is a red animated stick figure that was created by Alan Becker for the sole purpose of destroying The Chosen One after the latter escaped from his enslavement. He was initially loyal to his creator and the mission imprinted onto him until The Chosen One bested him, but instead chose to display mercy to his enemy and revealed to him that Alan only saw him as a tool and cared for him no more than he did the black stick figure. Angered at being seen as disposable by his creator, The Dark Lord abandoned his mission upon realizing his loyalty was misplaced and instead chose to align himself with The Chosen One as they teamed up to take down their common enemy and succeeded in destroying Alan's computer by causing it to explode and ultimately resulted in a blue screen of death which was believed by Alan to have taken both stick figures down with it in the process, supposedly ending their existence. Almost seven years later, it was revealed in The Flashback that both The Dark Lord and The Chosen One were able to escape the computer by opening a doorway to the Internet just moments before the computer crashed. From there on, the two became partners in crime and went on a seven-year reign of terror across the Internet by destroying anything/anyone in their path. However, over time The Chosen One would become steadily less violent upon seeing his partner gradually becoming lost in the powerlust of his conquests. The two would then settle in the Outernet, a digital realm existing parallel to the Internet as the homeworld of the internet stick figures. Eventually, the two were divided by their interests with The Dark Lord creating a virus known as the ViraBot and having the intention to mass-replicate it and use the virus to conquer the global network. Despite having been delayed by The Chosen One journeying to Alan's new computer and stopping the first ViraBot sent by The Dark Lord.

Appearance

The Dark Lord is a red hollow-headed stick figure of above-average height. In the climax of Animator vs. Animation V, he dons a black wristband with red highlights on his right arm that can generate triangle-esqe blades with unstable bases that have the same colors as the wristband. Later on in his fight against The Chosen One and a recently 3D printed cursor controlled by Noogai3, he morphs a vira-blade into an extra wristband on his left arm, now donning two wristbands instead of one.

Personality

Upon his creation, The Dark Lord was a single-minded but intelligent entity, only created to destroy The Chosen One. He showed great perseverance and skill during their battles and was corteuous to his allies in the form of Alan's desktop apps. The Dark Lord was crafty and refused to back down in the face of perseverance from his opponents, showing he wouldn't stop until he claimed victory. However, upon his defeat at the hands of his opponent, he showed fear due to being ultimately outclassed by, and at the mercy of, The Chosen One. However, after realizing that he was no less expendable to Alan than his counterpart, The Dark Lord became wrathful due to being a simple tool and chose to go against his initial programming by allying with The Chosen One and working together to defy their creator who aimed to oppress and ultimately, get rid of them. After his abandonment and betrayal and joining The Chosen One, The Dark Lord went from the hero of the day to one of the most dangerous and violent beings ever witnessed. He mercilessly destroyed websites and games without a second thought. He lit up with excitement when his ViraBot was complete and about to launched at ALANSPC, likely to get revenge. He felt betrayed by The Chosen One when they tried to stop him from launching the ViraBot. It is shown he still feels anger and hatred towards noogai3, and was furious when he saw The Chosen One fight alongside noogai3. The Dark Lord was also far more sadistic and sinister than The Chosen One, as he shown by his savage slaying of Red, Blue, Yellow and Green, plus his brutal beatdown of The Second Coming.
