Ransomware/Standard

Ransomware are a species of cylindrical, teal-green Corruption. Their eye has the shape of an X, or multiplication sign.

Lore
According to cryebral, they have no leaders like Malware or Viruses. Ransomware merely follow highly respected members of Corruption society, very few of which are fellow Ransomware. Ransomware are not viable in combat, however prefer to stay on the sidelines and sell of weapons to both parties. Often times they can be caught stealing from the other Corruptions' supplies. While Ransomware are functionally similar to their real-world counterparts, there are major differences. For one, it takes many Ransomware to bring a computer into Ransom, and not only that, they are also extremely weak. Ransomware hoard bits, similar to Malware, and have a clear distaste for Program Hearts of most kinds. The only ones they truly enjoy are Utopi hearts and Govern hearts. Ransomware often travel in small groups, and a lone Ransomware is most times a red herring for an ambush.

Weapons/Abilities
Ransom Crowbar - A weapon that deals 40-44 damage. The Ransom Crowbar is categorized as a "Swinging Melee" weapon and has a cooldown of 1.25 seconds.

Steal - Ransomware has the ability to steal items from enemies by swinging its right hand (which enlarges during the stealing animation to make the attack more noticeable) horizontally at a target. This ability grants the Ransomware with a brief 1.5x speed multiplier, making it faster. The move also does 32-36 damage when the target doesn't have a consumable item. However, if it steals successfully, the Ransomware gains a longer speed boost. The move has a 10 second cooldown.

Ransomware also have the ability to equip many other weapons in Databrawl Roleplay. Weapons wielded by Ransomware are shaped in the blocky style that Malware weapons have. It is implied that Ransomware are able to conjure these other weapons at will, at the cost of Bits or Coins.
