Alright. So Tori isn’t actually just an NPC he IS the the games Antivirus, the creator just gave him a sprite cause well Why not? And so he can manipulate the game code if he feels like it, but cannot change the coding of the other NPCs, unless they get corrupted So he actually instead of wandering off the virus He “absorbs” it?? Like. Takes it to fuel himself. If that makes sense Buuut that also leads to him being weaker and a bit glitchy out of game time.

Sometimes, during long breaks he’ll shut down the whole game files and just, chill in the void

So he’s basically a powerful Adblock/antivirus type thing with a human body

He has a bit of missing code though, so he has a slit down his back with a glitchy missing texture, if that’s touched he simply seizes up and the game completely shuts down

He’s just an Adblock with anxiety issues and a weird glitchy scar which fuels his “sickness” (Sickness as in well, glitchy and sometimes weak to stronger malware)
