Sonic.exe

'NOTE: Any .exe characters are forbidden but this is the only exception as a lot of them are just generic and parodies of this one, this is the only exception as this one started the whole .exe trend while the others are just trying to copy him.

"THAT BLOODCRYING FAKER'S GOT NOTHING ON ME!!"

- Fleetway Super Sonic, Friday Night Funkin (vs. Sonic.EXE mod)

Sonic.exe/Lord X is the titular main antagonist of the Creepypasta of the same name and its sequel "Sonic.exe/Round 2", and is the overall main antagonist of the series. He is an anomalous, interdimensional energy-based entity driven by an instinctive lust for destruction and pain. His goal is to enslave all of humanity and (somehow) take over the world.

Why He's Intentionally Not God

 * 1) Given that he is made bad on purpose, along with the fact that nothing justifies his existence, it's possible that he could be a product of stupidity.
 * 2) His design isn't even scary to begin with (except for maybe a five year old), and more akin to creepy. It's literally Sonic with black eyes and red pupils (not unlike Metal Sonic), blood pouring out of his eyes and sharp teeth, and nothing else.
 * 3) His "I Am God" quote doesn't even sound scary at all. At least the voices in his "Hello. Do you want to play with me?" and "You're too slow. Want to try again?" are a little deeper.
 * 4) He lacks any sufficient character development, and is extremely one-dimensional.
 * 5) His plan is what you would expect from a generic doomsday villain. He just wants to take over the world and put everyone under his control, and... that's basically just it.
 * 6) Like Jeff the Killer, his original story has too many clichés and it was moved to Trollpasta Wiki for that reason.
 * 7) Aside from the 2020 remake parody, his skills are recycled again and again. He just kills the cast (mainly Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Eggman) and then said "I. AM, GOD!" and does his generic plan regrading WHING#3 when he's done killing, meaning no character development aside the 2020 remake parody of the game.
 * 8) * As a matter of fact, him always killing Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Eggman all the time makes them Butt-Monkeys to him.
 * 9) Because of all the flaws, he even overused the generic .exe games that are powered by GameJolt and Scratch. Which are overall just the same thing as the original Sonic.exe, except those like ToyStory.exe or My Little Revenge.
 * 10) Copyrighted laughing sound effect: It's just a copy of Kefka from Final Fantasy's laugh.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The idea of ​​making of a demon who haunts a PC version of a classic game and disguising as the titular character is pretty cool, even if it's very poorly executed.
 * 2) His characterizations in several of his fangames and reinterpretations have enhanced the character, such as Darkest Struggles, Sonic PC Port, and ShutupJoseph's adaptation "Needlemouse".
 * 3) Some portrayals of him in fangames can actually be likable.
 * 4) While his original creepypasta was just pure shock value with no plot, lore or message, its sequel, round 2 has an actual plot, and significant lore.
 * 5) Considering he comes from games that are meant to suck, it's not too farfetched to assume that he's supposed to be equally bad.
 * 6) His backstories (whether official or fanmade) are interesting, like the one created by DedGrafic.
 * 7) In the game "Sonic PC Port", they fixed a bit his design by making him into less of a Sonic reskin (though he still looks like him).

Trivia

 * He became an internet meme.
 * Many people think that PC Port was the first time he was called by the name "Lord X" or simply X, but actually, this name comes from the sequel to the OG creepypasta which was also written by JC-The-Hyena.
 * According to Sonic.EXE Round 2 (The official sequel to the Creepypasta), he has seven guardians and a cult named "The Cult of X".
 * It's revealed in Sonic PC Port and as well in the sequel to the OG creepypasta that Lord X is his real name.
