WHO IS DEADLIEST!?

=Monika= "About that whole thing with Yuri… Well… I kind of started to mess with her, and I guess it just drove her to kill herself… Also… the same thing happened with Sayori…"

- Monika

Monika is a major character and primary antagonist of the visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club. She is introduced as the president of the titular literature club and a side character without a route in the visual novel, described as being a former member of the debate club who left to found the literature club. While she initially seems caring and supportive, by Act Two of the game, she displays a more manipulative personality, with it eventually being revealed that Monika is a self-aware entity who is aware that she is in a video game. In the ending, Monika reveals that she is in love not with the protagonist, but the player themselves, and that, upon realizing the world of the game is scripted with no possibility of her ever ending up with the player, manipulated the personalities of the of the characters to make them less appealing to the player, drove them to suicide, and eventually even deleted them from the game entirely.

Intelligence
While intially appearing to be a normal character in a dating sim, Monika reveals herself to be a sapient, self-aware entity capable of manipulating aspects of the game. She displays self-awareness to develop affection for the player, and understands the human psyche enough to know what traits would be likely to make the other female characters unappealing to the player.

Entity Deletion
Monika is capable of entering into the script of the game and deleting characters, as she does with Yuri, Natsuki, and Sayori, well as the ability to delete the player’s save files.

Digital Manipulation
Monika is capable of manipulating the structure of the digital world of the game and it’s inhabitants to suit her needs. For instance, she modified the personalities of Sayori and Yuri to make them less appealing to the player- making Sayori more depressed and Yuri more obsessive, ultimately driving them to suicide. She is also capable of rewinding the game to a previous point in time and causing in-game glitches, and even reducing all of the scenery in the game to a single room with only her in it, surrounded by a black abyss. Finally, she seems to survive the player’s attempts to delete her, appearring even after her character file is deleted, and shortly afterwards prevents the player from starting the game unless they hard reset or reinstall the game. She is even capable of reading information on other programs, and is aware of the name of the administrator of the computer she is installed on, and if the player is recording the game.

=Kr’th’nar= "Foul cheat! Fight me on the same plane!"

- Kr’th'nar taunting the player

Kr’th'nar is primary antagonist of SCP-1633, an anomalous computer game contained by the SCP Foundation. The game is a steampunk fantasy RPG, in which the player controls a squad of characters who discover that the world is threatened by the return of Kr’th’nar, an ancient god-like entity bend on devouring the world. The game’s anomaly consists of the self-awareness of the enemy AI, with them figuring out that the player characters are controlled by an outside intelligence are controlled by an outside entity (the player), and attempt to psychologically attack them in various ways, such as rendering the game effectively unplayable and inducing a “ragequit”, displaying images the player might find disturbing, or even attempting to induce a seizure. For all their abilities, Kr’th'nar displays even greater intelligence, proving capable of reading the files of the computer and using them to launch psychological attacks specifically directed at the player, and well as expressing rage at being unable to fight the player on “their plane”- i.e. the real world. According to a suicide note by one of the employees of the game developers, Kr’th'nar used tactics such as making enemies look like the player (whose face he could see through the webcam), and making them talk in the voice of their ex-girlfriend (whose voice he found in videos). Even when the game was uninstalled, Kr’th'nar continued to harass the player by “talking to them” by opening word documents. Kr’th'nar was apparently destroyed when the developer destroyed the computer contianing him shortly before his suicide, and no the Foundation has seen no evidence of Kr’th'nar on the copies of the game in their possession.

Intelligence
While all enemies in SCP-1633 eventually realize that there is an outside force behind the player’s avatar and attempt to attack the player psychologically, however, the actions of normal enemies are things that are either generally considered to be disturbing (such as the brutal torture of an NPC) or else drive them to “ragequit”. Kr'th'nar, on the other hand, shows the ability to learn about the player from data on their computer and create psychological attacks specifically directed at them, for instance, making the enemies have the face of the player or even speak in the voice of their ex-girlfriend (whose voice he found in videos of her).

Digital Manipulation
As stated above, Kr'th'nar is capable of manipulating the script of the game and even accessing data on other programs, as seen when he taunts the player about his break-up with his ex-girlfriend and reads her e-mails, and even makes enemies speak in her voice, which he copied from videos of her on the computer. He also proved capable of using the webcam in the laptop to gain access to the face of the player, as well as open word processors and type taunting messages to the player, cause the computer’s operations to slow. He even managed to persist on a computer after the game was uninstalled. Finally, it is implied he may have even escaped into the internet, had the player not turned off the router and removed the network card. The only thing that (at least apparently) destroyed him was the physical destruction of the computer.

=X-Factors=

Explanations
Kr’th'nar takes the edge for cyber dominance as he has displayed a greater ability to manipulate data outside of the game, remaining capable of taunting the player even after the game is uninstalled. In terms of intelligence, both are self-aware AIs who have figured out that they exist within a video game, so about even there. As for dedication, both are determined in their goals, Monika in her love for the player, and Kr’th'nar in her desire to fight and harm the player, however, I give Monika a slight edge - if Future Diary and Madoka: Rebellion have told me anything, even a Lovecraftian Horror can’t match the determination of a yandere in love XD! In terms of psychological warfare, Monika scores high, having literally manipulated the personalities of the other girls to draw the player away from them, eventually driving Sayori and Yuri to suicide, however, this still does not match the mastery of psychological warfare that Kr’th'nar displays, literally using data on the player’s computer to launch psychological attacks specifically tailored to the player.

=Notes and Scenario= The battle will take place inside a computer. Kr’th’nar will attempt to attack the player, only of Monika to come to the defense of her “love”. Since this takes place in a computer, the battlefield which include the world of Doki Doki Literature Club, SCP-1633, or other games and programs, so don’t be surprised if Kr’th’nar throws a swarm of Minecraft blocks at Monika, only for her to shoot them down with dual-wield Hellreigels taken from Battlefield 1… or something like that!


 * I wasn’t sure it this would count as a normal battle given the combatants, and, since this provides ample opportunity for crossover silliness (what with it taking place in the computer), I decide to make this an April Fools Special. If the admins decide this meets the qualifications for a battle, I will give Kr’th’nar and Monika a wiki page. If not, I won’t, but may still write a battle for this if it is acceptable (if nothing else, I might put it on my user page).
