Demoware

Demoware are non-sentient/non-living, base-like data. They have an energy meter on the front of themselves that indicates the energy they have left before they perish.

Lore
Demoware are visitors to the computers that they go to and roam around in. They usually do not take any resources from the computers they roam in, and provide free service and labor to the residents of the computer. When they are not working, Demoware show off their holograms.

Demoware are created using Program Hearts (just like Programs), which is their only source of energy. Demoware have side shockers around their energy source which are designed to prevent other entities from reaching inside of them and taking their vital energy source. Because of the fact that Demoware constantly use their energy source as fuel, the energy source deteriorates over time. Eventually, the energy source deteriorates into a "useless rock" according to Typie555. Once the energy source has fully deteriorated, Demoware cease functioning.

Demoware cannot be revived once they expire through simply placing another Program Heart inside of them, because according to Typie555, transferring a Program Heart to a Demoware is like transplanting blood, and blood types can vary from individual to individual (thus making the transplanting process not as simple as just transplanting any kind of blood into someone). Additionally, taking out a individual Demoware's energy source and placing it back into the same Demoware will also not work, as the Demoware will reject it. This essentially means that Demoware are built to just have one life. However, it is possible (yet extremely difficult) to keep a Demoware alive after it expires with additional work, such as changing the entire wiring and inner components. Although, often times, attempts to push past the limitations of Demoware (such as through extending their lifespan) will result in premature death.

Demoware have two categories that they can fall under, which depend on what type of energy source they have within them:
 * Organic Demoware - Organic Demoware have a life capsule inside of them which stores their energy. This life capsule can be harvested by Corruptions and consumed like a smoothie, although, the contents within the capsule cannot necessarily be poured out and used for other things.
 * Non-organic Demoware - Non-organic Demoware have a fueled battery inside of them which stores their energy. The energy can be harvested for a variety of uses.

Regardless of what category a Demoware falls under, their energy source contains the vast pre-programmed knowledge and nearly nonexistent lifetime memories of what the Demoware displayed with its hologram.

Demoware come with an automatic daily infection check mechanic which checks for an infection every day. If a Demoware's automatic infection check detects that the Demoware has been infected, the Demoware begins to go into a self-destruct mode. When this self-destruct mode is active, the Demoware will begin to use a high amount of its energy (which completely drains the energy source half of the time) and will shut down any kind of internal cooling mechanism (causing the Demoware to heat up). This causes the Demoware's insides to boil and causes its outer surface to become charred, making the Demoware useless and burning the infection away.

However, if a Demoware gets an infection which spreads too quickly, the infection can tamper with the daily infection check mechanic and/or the self-destruction process. When this happens, a Demoware becomes corrupted, similarly to how other entities like Programs become corrupted.

Weapons/Abilities
Demoware can produce holograms that can resemble almost any type of entity in the Dataverse, like Programs and other types of software. Holograms produced by Demoware can even showcase highly advanced, futuristic entities which have never been seen before. However, Demoware-produced holograms cannot resemble entities that change within a lifetime, like Bloatware and Abandonware (which are lifetime stages of development rather than class variants) or like RAMs and ROMs (which are rank variants rather than class variants). The holograms also cannot resemble hardware-based characters, like Hardware. In-game, these holograms are set to look like standard Programs.

Demoware holograms tend to accurately portray the details of software-based entities which reside in the Dataverse, and also tend to be very energetic due to the fact that Demoware try to catch the attention of others, similarly to Adware. Despite their energy and detail accuracy, these holograms are not alive in any way, and are simply like puppets controlled by Demoware.

Demoware use their holograms to do tasks and basically give off a preview of the software they are demonstrating in the process. Their holograms can get off of the base in order to perform the tasks, but can only go a certain distance before they get sucked back towards the base.

While Demoware can speak verbally, they can also form holographic words and symbols.

Additionally, Demoware can easily change the color, texture, and complexity of their holograms.

In order to produce more detailed and accurate holograms, Demoware use a little whirling machine which comes inside of their robotic parts. The machine produces particles which correspond to what they're producing a hologram of. When a Demoware creates a hologram, the whirling machine will turn the particles into a fine string inside another smaller chamber. The fine string then goes through a linear tube, then out of the Demoware through small pores. The string is then looped around the hands and spun at high speeds from the bottom up, similarly to how a Scribe makes software. Once the process is complete, the hologram looks just like the software it is meant to be.

More Facts

 * Demoware, because they are basically just bases and not living entities, cannot eat or drink.
 * Demoware are weak and can be easily destroyed. Because the bases of Demoware are built in a fragile way, it makes them easier to produce. Although Demoware are weak, they can still withstand things like heavy rain, intense heat, and a low level surge of energy according to Typie555. Demoware cannot withstand being around Corruptions, however, as they can easily be infected, may suffer high amounts of shaking which could cause their Program Heart to get moved out of place (causing them to perish), and one hit or two would take them out.
 * Demoware have two different voices; One voice which matches the software they are demonstrating through their hologram, and an announcer voice. The voice that they use depends on the context.
 * Standard Demoware are mainly used by small companies/groups just as a walking advertisement for free. When not performing as an advertisement, standard Demoware do small help and/or wander around.
 * The current version of Demoware was first conceptualized by Typie around June 25, 2019.
 * Demoware was added to Databrawl Roleplay alongside Vanilla on July 12, 2019.
