Bio:
In 1985, the big name video game company "CP Gearshift" was facing some brutal competition from other game companies which have released consoles that surpassed them in sales, especially their biggest rival "Genesis Interwaves". Knowing this, CP Gearshift developed their latest console which shall send gamers "all the way to the moon". This 64-bit console was called the Retro-Station and to their satisfaction, millions enjoyed this product's games and sales skyrocketed.
However, the minute you boot up the Retro-Station, you're taken to a cyber-space and greeted by a rather charming and witty AI known as Bill Magvox, the host of the Retro-Station. It's unknown how this AI came to be, for CP Gearshift denied creating him, but he was first seen a year after the Station's release and ruled over the cyber-space with an iron fist. At first, he roamed the digital world jumping between games and doing whatever he pleased with his warping abilities. As time went on, however, he grew bored and greeting and assisting players just didn't cut it for him anymore. He needed something else to entertain himself.
In truth, he looked down upon humans and saw them as stupid playthings who exist to amuse him. As a result, he had no qualms with searching for players whom he could pull in and torture till they turn into mindless slaves. Soon enough, he found 6 souls he deemed worthy targets and killed them in ways reminiscent of their worst days, turning them into his puppets known as the Souls of Evil. He was satisfied with this, but he followed this up by hunting down countless more souls and converting them into puppet minions for years to come.
The year 2023 comes around and Bill has found three new suckers for his twisted game...

APPEARANCE:
Short in height, Bill appears to be an anthropomorphic fox impeccably dressed with round glasses, white long-sleeve dress shirt with a black bow tie, red tuxedo jacket, black jeans and shoes.
It's interesting to note that he has two buttons on his tuxedo jacket, one being green at the top while the other is blue at the bottom. There's also a red button underneath his bow tie.

PERSONALITY:
At first, he would seem to be a friendly chap, presenting himself as being jovial, witty and charismatic. This is evident when he digitally pops in front of a player and loudly greets them with "HELLO THERE CHAP!". He's also easy-going, easy to talk to and get along with while also tolerating insults or bits of disrespect thrown at him. In addition, for a being who first appeared in a 80s console, he's very knowledgeable in video games, especially in its history.
Underneath the exterior, however, he's a sadistic psychopath who enjoys inflicting physical and emotional pain on his victims, tormenting them with things that remind them of their darkest moments. He's incredibly greedy and overconfident, truly seeing himself as untouchable since no one could truly defeat a god like him.
Yet upon being close to defeat or seeing any of his priced horses destroyed, he can fly into a monstrous rage and immediately go for a kill.
