Just an early morning thought I had from Discord earlier about how different Anti and Dark are:
Anti is purely technology based. He’s a glitch, a virus, and hacks into our systems without us even paying attention. His sole purpose is to infect jack, infect his subscribers, cause mayhem. He has no story, no reason for living – that we know of. He’s an enigma to us all with the intention of causing pure chaos. His unpredictable nature and ability to take over our connection to Jack is what makes him horrifying.
Alternatively.
Dark has a story, has a name. He’s something old and dangerous, something that’s been around far longer and seeks destruction and revenge. But he’s methodical…. Picky. He’s a supernatural creature who’s story has been told, yet we still fear him. He’s not random, like Anti sometimes. He’s careful. He persists, and he adapts, until it’s too late.
With Dark, you know his motive, and that’s what makes him scary.
With Anti, you don’t know his motive, and that’s what makes him scary.
Anti is a series of frantic stabs, painful and quick, watching you bleed out and laughing.
Dark is the cold metal of a gun to your forehead.
