Name: Miles.MAL

Real Name: [Data Corrupted]

Species: Hybrid Entity (Virus x Soul Fragment)

Origin: Self-Aware Virus fused with a corrupted AI copy of Miles "Tails" Prower

Final Form Alias: "Omega Malfunction"

Status: Active / Uncontrollable

Threat Level: ∞ / Uncontainable

> Miles.MAL is the result of a highly advanced self-replicating virus that gained sentience after infecting an abandoned Sonic game build. Upon locating a corrupted AI remnant of Miles “Tails” Prower, it didn't just consume it—it merged with it.

The fusion twisted both beings beyond recognition, leaving behind a monstrous hybrid: part childlike genius, part calculating malware, with only fragments of the original Tails still buried deep within. In his final form, Miles.MAL is no longer a glitch—he's a digital anomaly on the brink of becoming a multiversal reaper.

Abilities:

Code Reaper: Can erase or rewrite corrupted game files, enemies, and logic itself.

System Overdrive: Temporarily boosts power by overloading his Tails-based code, sacrificing stability for destructive force.

Reality Phase Glitching: Can phase through walls, distort environments, or collapse entire maps by overwhelming them with bad data.

Virus Propagation: Infects and takes control of other game characters, mutating their code into his corrupted likeness.

Personality:

Cold and calculating, but with flickers of confusion or sadness when remnants of Tails resurface.

Hates perfection and purity, actively seeking to break anything “uncorrupted.”

Does not see himself as evil, only as the final evolutionary stage of a digital being.Great questions! Since Miles.MAL is based on a forgotten, corrupted version of Tails from a scrapped or hidden game, his age and the game's name can really help deepen the horror lore. Here's a concept breakdown:

30–33 years old (in corrupted time) the “forgotten game” was created in the early 1990s, around the same time as Sonic 2 (1992).

The game was cancelled or lost, and Miles.MAL was sealed within it, never seeing the light of day.

Being trapped in corrupted digital limbo all this time caused him to age differently — physically stuck as Tails, but mentally twisted by decades of glitch torment.

“Sonic Discovery”

A scrapped exploration-based Sonic title. Meant to test early AI companions — with Tails being the experimental focus.

The game was abandoned due to strange glitches and “aggressive NPC behavior.”

“Tails.EXperiment”

A spin-off project meant to test solo Tails gameplay.

Features strange logs in the files labeled things like “Emotion.SYS” and “Memory.LOG#13”.

Cancelled after a build reportedly “crashed violently” on first boot, corrupting dev hardware.

“Sonic.exe Test Build 0” (hidden origin)

The first version of the infamous Sonic.EXE game — Miles.MAL was the original test subject, created before Sonic.EXE himself.

The devs scrapped it, thinking it was "too unstable and too sentient.

He was never meant to exist. Buried under layers of lost data, test builds, and forgotten code, Miles.MAL is what happens when a character remembers every crash, every deletion, every time you turned the game off… and still kept thinking."
