I'll rip out your guts like wires.
Datagen, crash cars for money
Datagen, known as "He" and as "fdatagen.dll" in the files, is the main antagonist of the ROBLOX Arg Webseries, Skatingrease. Datagen is a Sentient Artificial Intelligence residing in a DDL (Data Definition Language) slowly griefing and haunting ROBLOX players, most of the time Datagen uses the animanga japanese storybook character, Hamtaro-kun, as a way to represent his imminent arrival. And alongside this form, he haunts multiple users causing strange occurances to happen, specially in ROBLOX as a user with a always changing username.
Appearance[]
Robloxian[]
Datagen's robloxian form takes off the appearance of a normal robloxian with a checkered t-shirt and a blue torso, the legs being a lighter blue and the arms and head being white, they also use the Erik Cassel's Hat.
True Form[]
Datagen's true form appears to be a a large, rusted down supercomputer. It has gone through severe weathering and erosion, and all of the wiring has gone beneath the appliance. It has a monitor near the top, that displays Datagen's face (in the form of a smaller, virtual computer assistant), or what Datagen is currently looking at. (For example, Taiko no Tatsujin was displayed on his monitor screen in a video).
Abilities[]
Datagen is shown to be able to manipulate players into giving cryptic and foreboding messages, notably the "He comes". He also has the capability to create pop-ups, has his own voice, force players into ROBLOX games, impersonate players, create games/locations, and even see what is going on outside the computer (such as when he mentions Hailey has cried and committed self-harm as a result of him). On one occasion, he even managed to corrupt a video file and a PowerPoint presentation. He also manipulated Hailey to promote his message. He can also scramble his username in ROBLOX games to make reporting him physically impossible. Interestingly, whilst doing so, he breaks all restraints on usernames, including symbols into his username that normally isn't possible (you can only have an underscore). Datagen enters games through force, hardcoding himself into the server, which could be the cause of the broken username. He can also mess with electrical waves and overheat computers, causing their CPUs to fry or even explode, causing lethal damage. This is demonstrated by Datagen "zapping" Hailey's hand, as she uses a laptop and needs to keep her hand on it.
In general, Datagen has heavy control over the general internet.
Personality[]
Datagen's language is cryptic and always wants people to follow his commands. He is also depicted as being very teasing in a cruel manner, such as when he jokes to Hailey that he pities her for trying to find out what he is. He even introduces himself as Datagen, only saying that "to keep things interesting". He also seems to have zero filter when it comes to giving messages, such as calling himself a parasite and threatening to mutilate Hailey. Overall, he is an unrelenting tormentor, hellbent on making Hailey's life as miserable as possible. He has no sympathy and finds fun in seeking out victims to toy with for months.
Trivia[]
- He may be inspired by characters such as HAL-9000 from Space Odyssey and AM from I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, due to them all being somewhat sentient Aritificial Intelligences.
- It is confirmed that he is inspired by Smile Dog and not Zalgo.
- Datagen was originally going to be an upcoming killer in Pwned by 14:00, although he got scrapped due to personal implications.
- Datagen has no reason to act cruel and simply does it out of boredom.
- Datagen was originally created as a virtual computer assistant, similar to that of Bonzibuddy. Due to being abandoned although left online, he decided to seek joy in other ways.
- A motive for Datagen's actions may be unsupervised high internet usage, leading him to see graphic topics or imagery.
