Program/Standard

Programs are peaceful entities who help run computers in the Dataverse.

Role in the Dataverse (Lore)
Programs are seen as the citizens of settlements inhabiting digital technology, which come in the form of impossibly tiny cities within the actual hardware.

Just like people in the real world, each Program serves (will serve, or has served) a purpose through the form of a task, or jobs. In most cases, these tasks are very simple and repetitive. Moving files from once place to another, creating and deleting files, writing new things or rewriting existing ones. Other, more complex tasks are also executed by the Programs assigned to it.

Standard programs are rounded in skill overall. Program Chubbs often times create food for fellow Programs to keep up their performance, whilst Program Bytes can carry small items for those who don't have a free hand, or any hands.

Overall, Programs are what make current computing possible, and are there to make the digital age thrive.

Databrawl Battle Zone
While being almost useless combat-wise, the innocent Programs play an important role in the ongoing quarrel against the Corruptions. Programs use a ally heart icon.

Stats
In the Battle Zone, standard Programs have 75HP (90 HP if they have VIP), and 23 walkspeed.

Weapons/Abilities
Weak Fists/Quick Fists - Programs may seem useless at first, however there is a way for them to become a bit more worthy of use. Using the "Premium Program" gamepass, standard Programs' "Weak Fists" are replaced with the highly effective "Quick Fists" attack. This attack deals 16 to 20 damage to the Program's opponent.

The Premium Program gamepass used with the "VIP” gamepass gives the player both a boost to durability and offensive capability, making programs more capable of defending themselves long enough to get a Special Token.

Additionally, Programs can access food-spawning machines around the map in order to summon food, open certain doors, and use bridge buttons.

When Programs die in-game, they drop an item called a Program Heart. Corruptions can eat these hearts to regain regain 20 HP and gain a temporary regeneration boost.

Weapons/Abilities (Lore)
In addition to the previously mentioned weapons/abilities in the Databrawl Battle Zone section of this page, a couple of Programs canonically (but not in-game) possess small knives that they use for self-defense. These knives can be infused with Firewall Security essence, making them more painful for Corruptions. These weapons are called Fireforged weapons, or other forged names depending on what Firewall type's essence the weapon was infused with (such as Adoraforged, Reclusaforged, etc.)
