>>NAME: MALWARE, answers to "Mal". (pretty uninvested in this whole pronouns business. e/em here for consistency)

>>AGE: a few months old, looks like a teen

>>ABOUT: MALWARE is the result of Maxwell's life's work, and Tim's obsessive continuation of it after Maxwell's death. E chose the name MALWARE because it felt like the closest technological equivalent to "monster". Not because e thinks e's a monster, necessarily, but because e's unnecessarily edgy.

>>APPEARANCE: dark-skinned, with dyed purple hair. Part mechanical, has one of those acces ports like in the Matrix. Unnatural yellow-gold eyes. Enjoys customising eir clothes, trying to prove e's human enough to make art.

>>RELATIONSHIPS: E and Petrichor get on well. E and Maxwell have a parental relationship, though they definitely are't close. The Hive is eir only genuine comforting confidante, and considered eir mother in some ways. Tim despises em and e despises Tim right back.

>>ADDITIONAL INFO: wants to be human so bad. For a while, anway. Really really good at art.
