The Chosen One (tentatively known as killer, and BEAST) is an overarching protagonist of the Animator vs. Animation series. He was created at some point after victim managed to escape from noogai3's computer and the first of noogai3's creations to prove a genuine threat to noogai3 due to possessing superpowers thanks to his abnormally high-power level granted to him by his creator.

He viciously fought against his creator in Animator vs. Animation 2 but later destroyed and escaped noogai3's computer with The Dark Lord during the climax of Animator vs. Animation 3. The two rampaged the internet for the next seven years until the events of Season 2, where their ideological differences caused them to turn against each other as The Chosen One sought to stop The Dark Lord's plan to unleash his army of ViraBots across the internet in order to take control of the global network, leading him to return to the home of his creator where he meets his successor, The Second Coming.

Several years after The Dark Lord's defeat, The Chosen One is targeted by four mercenaries due to a mysterious organization having placed a bounty on him for unknown reasons. Despite his best efforts, the mercenaries' superior weaponry overpowers him and forces him to return to ALANSPC once again to seek help from The Second Coming and friends. Unfortunately, due to The Second Coming having no knowledge of his powers, both were ultimately captured by the mercenaries just as the Fighting Stick Figures arrived, too late to save them as they were taken back to their benefactor's headquarters.

After being placed in the Box and unpaused, he comes face-to-face with his predecessor for the first time, victim. There, his powers were negated as victim used the Box's capabilities to overpower The Chosen One and force him into submission as he revealed the reason why he wanted him captured, as The Chosen One was the only lead victim had to the location of their creator: noogai3.

Appearance

The Chosen One is a black artificial stick figure of above-average height.

His lines were initially thicker than The Second Coming's but were redesigned in "The Showdown" to match the latter's. Same goes for his head, it used to be smaller but is now changed to match the proportions of his successor.

Personality

Upon his creation, The Chosen One took any chance to destroy his creator—or his computer, at any rate. It is unknown why this is.

When he was defeated by the Avast! Antivirus software, he was still filled with anger but could do nothing to escape. Forced to work as an anti-ad software, his anger grew until he was freed by outsmarting his creator in the Stick Figure Rights website. The Chosen One escaped and began to rain down his anger upon noogai3 and killing more entities such as AOL and Firefox just to kill his creator.

When The Dark Lord was created, he initially saw him as a more powerful threat and battled him, eventually defeating him. However, he saw that noogai3 did not care if either he or The Dark Lord died and decided to join forces with him. Together they destroyed noogai3's computer and began a reign of destruction on other websites and games.

The Chosen One, however, reflected upon his destructive wrath (as he merely wanted to be free of the Animator, not destroy everything in his path) when seeing The Dark Lord attack innocent stick figures in Stickpage and characters in Newgrounds and create a powerful virus with extreme killing potential. Seeing the virus about to be fired at noogai3's computer and the potential destruction releasing the virus may create, he grew remorseful and reflected on his past. Despite the time they fought and fought, The Chosen One decided to forgive noogai3, acknowledging him as his creator and eventually battled The Dark Lord, who insisted noogai3 should continue to suffer. He finds and battles the virus to save The Second Coming's company and bowed his head to noogai3 as a sign of self-impeachment, ending their long-time grudge. The Chosen One also returned the favor and sentiment to the Second Coming, bowing to him in reverence after witnessing him defeating the Dark Lord, who beat him into surrender.

The Chosen One, in turn, over time, became somewhat of a protector of the stick world he currently lives in, as he saved a civilian from falling debris by obliterating it with his laser vision, as of Season 3. He seems to have developed a distaste for killing, as he opted to not freeze the Mercenaries into a block of ice even when they were trying to shoot him with glitch cannons, instead only freezing their hoverbikes. Later, he tried, unsuccessfully, to decline victim's challenge to battle by pushing victim's hand aside when the latter seized him by the throat.

In combat, The Chosen One has displayed ingenuity and flexibility, as shown when he repeatedly altered his strategy against the Box's power-nullifying. He tends to rely on his pyrokinesis and laser vision during battle, but can resort to other options when needed. This neglect of his other powers overall leaves him generally weaker and less flexible in battles which may need it, such as his battle against The Dark Lord, however this does mean he is extremely versed in those specific powers, demonstrating a mastery of their utilisation.

Powers & Abilities

The Chosen One was the most powerful stick figure in existence upon his creation, being granted the highest known power level by his creator as a means to obtain a true challenge against his creation. His power level was considered to be "suicide" by Programmer021 when he asked how powerful the stick figure was upon receiving a cry for help from noogai3. The Chosen One was the first true threat that animator ever faced, being far more destructive than his first creation, victim.

His extreme power, speed, and ruthlessness made him nearly invincible and even when The Dark Lord was made to fight him, he fended off his opponent superbly. After many years, reappearing to save the Stick Gang from the ViraBot, his powers had only seemed to have increased from before, appearing truly god-like to them.

Powers

• Super Strength: The Chosen One can throw and pick up windows, punch and kick with extreme force and has been shown to be able to use his energy manipulation to further augment his strength to even greater levels.

• Super Speed: The Chosen One has displayed astounding speed, being able to easily keep up with the Animator, computer icons, and contend with The Dark Lord, his rival in terms of power. He can overwhelm the ViraBot.

• Elemental Powers: The Chosen One possess a multitude of elemental powers. Among them are:

  • Pyrokinesis: The Chosen One can create and control fire, the flames being hot enough to incinerate pop-ups and windows to ash with a single blast of intense flames and even force the first ViraBot to escape. He can throw fireballs, fire streams of intense flames, and even use fire to increase the strength of his punches. This is his primary element, using it the most out of any of them by far.

  • Cryokinesis: The Chosen One can freeze enemies into ice, as seen when he froze Mozilla Firefox in Animator vs. Animation 2, and when he froze Primal's hoverbike in "Wanted". He has incredible mastery of cryokinesis as he is able to generate an entire iceberg using this ability.

  • Weather Generation: On command, he can summon aspects of the weather for a powerful attack when fighting, being able to generate storm clouds of various sizes and summon lightning from them.

    • Aerokinesis: The Chosen One can create/summon clouds out of nothing, even creating a large storm cloud to evade the Mercenaries.

    • Electrokinesis: He is capable of firing multiple lightning bolts from his own body as seen in "Wanted" when he unleashed a volley of lightning bolts upon three of the Mercenaries, causing their vehicles to temporarily malfunction.

• Flight: The Chosen One can fly using fire by igniting his fists to create propulsion. Alternatively, The Chosen One can fly without pyrokinesis. This was seen during his fight against the ViraBot.

• Teleportation: At maximum output, The Chosen One can teleport rapidly. This was seen during his fight against the ViraBot.

• Energy Manipulation: The Chosen One can augment his own strength by channeling energy to his fist for a stronger punch, as seen in "The Flashback" when he sent The Dark Lord flying with an energy enhanced punch. He can generate an implosive energetic sphere around his fist; strong enough to absorb nearby debris, and severely damage or even outright destroy his opponent as depicted in "The Chosen One's Return." During Animator vs. Animation 3, he used this ability to destroy Alan's PC alongside The Dark Lord. He can also open portals to the internet if a network adapter icon is nearby.

• Golden Code Blast: The Chosen One can hit the ground with a golden shockwave that flushes out and potentially weakens all viruses.

• Heat Vision: The Chosen One can fire destructive beams of condensed red light energy capable of destroying and burning through websites and whole tabs as his signature attack. He is even able to charge up this ability to fire more powerful beams as seen in Animator vs. Animation 3.

• Erasure Immunity: The Chosen One is immune to being erased by the Wristbands of Power.

  • The Chosen One is granted immunity to corrosive properties.

  • The Chosen One can also recover incredibly quickly to being pierced by spikes and even The Dark Lord's Vira-Blade.

• Pac-Man Mouth: The Chosen One has a mouth, that can either be a half-circle (when breathing fire) or a pizza-slice shape, like Pac-Man's mouth. He can munch his way through lines of text with this mouth, as well as spit out the letters with tremendous force, like machine gun bullets or cannonballs. This ability was only used in Animator vs. Animation 3.

Abilities

• Combat Skills: The Chosen One is shown to have excellent hand-to-hand combat skills when fighting against the Animator, programs, and other stick figures.

• Weapon Proficiency: The Chosen One is shown to wield weapons and other objects proficiently in battle.

Trivia

• The Chosen One was the only stick figure drawn by noogai3 who offensively attacked his creator's computer. All the others only fought back when noogai3 threatened or aggravated them, such as attacking victim unprovoked for amusement, making a slave out of The Dark Lord, and for deleting The Second Coming's new friends one-by-one in front of him.

• It is implied that AOL Instant Messenger has a strong rivalry with The Chosen One due to the constant battles they have whenever making contact.

• The Chosen One is among the most powerful characters in the Animator vs. Animation metaseries; he appeared seemingly god-like to the Stick Gang when he saved them from the ViraBot and fought on par with The Dark Lord during both of their battles. He was only (albeit barely) outclassed by The Dark Lord after they used the Wristbands of Power to augment their abilities. However, he is less powerful than The Second Coming after he awoke his dormant powers, allowing the orange stick figure to decimate all ViraBots and The Dark Lord in a matter of seconds without resistance or struggle. The Second Coming, however, immediately lost consciousness afterward with any memories of it erased.

• The Chosen One is the first artificial stick figure with powers.

• He was referred to as malware of the type of a virus/worm by Avast. A "worm" is a type of malware that replicates itself onto other computers, relying on security failures to infect other targets and uses the host computer to scan and infect other computers.

• The Chosen One has made the most appearances in Animator vs. Animation than any other stick figure did. He debuted in Animator vs. Animation 2, made a comeback in Animator vs. Animation 3, made a cameo appearance and was indirectly mentioned in Animator vs. Animation 4, returned in another cameo for Animator vs. Animation 5, Animator vs. Animation 6 and 7 were dedicated to show how and why The Chosen One came back, in Animator vs. Animation 8, he is shown fighting The Dark Lord, and was defeated, then avenged by The Second Coming. In Animator vs. Animation 9, he is shown running and seeking help from The Second Coming, since it is most likely that he was the only stick figure to witness The Second Coming's awakened powers, not knowing that he cannot access them willingly, which ends up with them both getting caught in Animator vs. Animation 10, he is shown being interrogated by victim so they can find out where noogai3 is in Animator vs. Animation 11, he makes several scattered appearances throughout.

• It is most likely that The Chosen One only relies on The Second Coming no matter what.

• The Chosen One is the first and only stick figure with a visible mouth, as shown in Animator vs. Animation 3, when The Chosen One breaks a paragraph and eats it, and when noogai3 seeks help from Clippy, The Chosen One is shown eating noogai3's essay.

• The Chosen One is the first stick figure to have a number in their name, the second being his successor, The Second Coming.

• Out of all stick figures with abilities (not counting Ballista or victim being enhanced by The Box), he has the most, by being able to fly with fire, breathe fire, use heat vision, and having the ability to summon storms, and use cryokinesis.
