The Virus

The virus was originally a visual glitch which caused Mario and Alex into a blue and white skin. However, while Mario didn’t think much of it, Alex said it was a virus that infected them. He soon made a shrine for it, with an offerings chest, where he donated every day.

How the virus works: The virus, isn’t just one virus, but a hive mind of multiple viruses which travel around the world infecting people. Then, they turn their hosts blue and white, to raise concern. However, the virus cannot actually control the host if they don’t believe in the virus, or aren’t concerned about it. However, if they do, then the virus will start influencing their actions, and eventually controlling their mind. This is the in-universe explanation to why Mario wasn’t effected by the virus, while Alex was. The virus can also empower hosts, and promise them things, if they listen to it.

Lore events: When the virus started overtaking Alex a bit to much, Mario called in reinforcements(his alt accounts) to help defeat him. After a battle between Alex and Dobregänger, Alex took control just in time for his armor to not break and back out of the fight. He mostly took control, but was still donating to the shrine. This routine happened again, but this time the virus didn’t want to fight, because he know Alex would lose. Long story short, Dobregänger tripped fell died, and the virus still lurks in Alex to this day…

Trivia: This is the first lore which was formed with role playing. However, it wasn’t scripted.

Mario steaded in his mind that Dobregänger will get revenge but more powerful cus he hasn't entered god mode yet.
