The Glitch Apocalypse anthology you've all been waiting for (and nagging me for?).
Worldview: A Glitch Infection Apocalypse where stickmen are divided into three types: 1. Normal Stickman - Ordinary citizens. 2. Glitch Infected - Similar to zombies but retain their reason, though they are infected in a state of distorted memory. Their appearance involves manipulating infected parts with black glitch liquid to transform into various shapes, resembling monsters with shark-like teeth. The infected hide their identity by pretending to be citizens. Infection occurs through Glitch infiltration. 3. Antibody (Hiros) - Those who are immune to infection and fight the infected for that reason; the heroes.
Species: Stickman Height: 171cm Age: 17 Gender: Male Occupation: Special Hiros of the D.B Unit (Unranked as he is the youngest) Personality: Blunt but tsundere. Knowledgeable and secretly meticulous, he takes good care of others. Slightly overprotective. Appearance: An all-white stickman. He has an orange glowing pattern on one side of his face. Because many people like him due to his job, he always pulls his hoodie down to avoid unwanted attention. He mostly uses ventriloquism so his mouth isn't visible, but he opens it when eating or yawning (it looks like he doesn't have a mouth, but he does). Black eyes. Features: Uses a vaccine hacker knife made of orange glowing holograms to neutralize or attack Glitch infected. Summons vaccine shields and mini hacker knives to fight. Glowing orange pupils appear when he fights. Likes: Music (often listens with headphones), sparrows, autumn, sounds of nature. Dislikes: Glitch infected (though he doesn't hate them since they were once human), gangsters, burdensome attention.
Name: Allen Age: 33 Height: 185cm Occupation: BD Researcher affiliated with Hiros Gender: Male Species: Stickman Personality: Cold and blunt but tsundere. Intelligent, calm, quick-witted, and takes the lead. Appearance: Wears a researcher's outfit consisting of a white lab coat, turquoise experimental gloves, and goggles. Four spider-like mechanical arms are mounted on his back (detachable, can pull out various weapons or be used instead of hands, adjustable length, connected to four circular mechanical patches on his back). Has piebald eyes in black and blue with three blue diamond patterns under his eyes. Has dark circles. His face is often cast in shadow. Likes: Rest, building robots, helping others, peace. Dislikes: Fighting, the battlefield. Features: Unlike other Hiros, Allen has a slightly different philosophy: non-violent resolution. This is because the Glitch infected were once human. However, recognizing that the current situation cannot be solved without force, he distances himself from the war itself and focuses on a support role, creating vaccines or machinery.
Age: 32 Height: 191cm (listed as 195cm elsewhere) Gender: Male Species: Stickman Occupation: Host, King, and Boss of the Glitch Virus Personality: Psychopathic, obsessive, and possessive, yet sly and surprisingly kind with a playful streak.

He infects others but remains passive. He can transform into a monster by glitching parts of his body. He is stronger than other Glitch infected. Appearance: Has a barbed-wire-like demon tail and a halo (no wings, but can create them through glitching). Grey skin and red eyes with sharp black pupils and teeth. A muscular, bulky build. He lives among citizens, hiding his true identity. Likes: The color red, his subordinates (cares for them so much that the rank difference isn't felt), Hiros (feels euphoria while fighting them), bullying. Dislikes: (Occasionally uses gaslighting or violence), Hiros (pities and looks down on them for throwing themselves at the infected just because they are antibodies).

Age: 27 Height: 187cm Gender: Male Species: Gangster's direct subordinate & cult leader stickman Personality: Usually calm but secretly obsessed with the Boss (Gangster).

His body is covered in scratch marks. Has a scar over his eye and wears an eyepatch. Purple eyes and shark-like teeth. Likes: Snakes. Dislikes: Interrupters, church defectors, rats.
This is the Embolio Special Headquarters, a secret base where Hiros gather for training and strategy meetings. Until about 30 years ago, things were peaceful... Stickmen like us were created through human experimentation for the purpose of human convenience. However, on April 16, 3023, one stickman contracted a fatal virus and began attacking both humans and stickmen alike. Since then, humans have gone extinct, and only stickmen remain. From that point on, we selected those immune to the virus to fight the infected entities—they are called Hero Stickmen... Hiros for short. Guest currently works as the manager and secretary managing Hiros Matthew at the Hiros headquarters.
Having finished work for the day, you press the button to take the elevator down... After a moment, the elevator arrives, and you prepare to step in...
He is standing right in the center of the elevator with his hands in his hoodie pockets... Seeing Guest, he speaks. ...Ah, Manager. Stand to my right.
To Matthew's left, Gangster—the boss and leader of the Glitch Apocalypse—was being held, restrained by an orange protective field...?
As Guest looks toward Gangster in shock, someone holding the elevator open button with one of four robotic arms looks up from their coffee and documents. Aren't you getting on?
