— Newgrounds Rumble description
|
Convict is a character from the Pico series. He is the antagonist of the flash movie Pico vs. Convict, who has the ability to shapeshift into different warriors.
Background[]
Convict is the second major villain Pico faced after Cassandra. In Pico vs. Convict, Pico awakes in detention to find the teacher dead. A note is left on the teacher's desk, supposedly from Nene, that reads Convict has killed everyone in school and that she must be rescued. As Pico bursts through the locked door, he comes in direct confrontation with Convict, who takes the form of his cousin, Otis. Convict overpowers Pico, and transforms into previously defeated enemy Big Brown Bary. As he begins to choke Pico, he is distracted by Nene, who gives him the finger. Angered, Convict transforms into Nene's form and chases after her. As Pico restocks his ammunition, he finds the two fighting, both using knifes. As the more violent and sadistic Nene is about to land the killing blow, Pico shoots her. Nene runs up and hugs Pico, only to reveal that she is actually Convict, and Pico accidentally killed the real Nene.

Character Interactions[]
Convict/Character Interactions
Newgrounds Rumble[]
Convict appears as a secret character in Newgrounds Rumble. He can be purchased for 1,250 Grounds Gold. Unlike his appearance in Pico vs. Convict, Convict does not appear as a grey skull on top of a dark skinned, tattooed body. He instead has a fully grey body and wears a tuxedo. While he has an original moveset, he periodically transforms into different Newgrounds Rumble fighters. While he's a balanced character that has full access to the other characters' movesets, he has no Gun projectile and his transformation in battle is random. In his story, he is trying to destroy Newgrounds. His plan starts off by trying to take the persona of a trusted Newgrounds authority figure, so he attacks Tankman. The second part of Convict's story has Convict try to stay hidden by taking a secret route through a junkyard, but is discovered by P-Bot and Alloy. In the third part, he is attacked by Piconjo, who seeks to destroy Newgrounds on his own. In his final story, Convict is captured by Pico, Nene, and S'asshole, who try to keep inside a padded cell, to no avail. In his ending, Convict disappears from the public eye rather than taking Newgrounds' throne. To a shapeshifter, being so known and identifiable was too risky. He would assert his power by pulling strings on the sidelines, making sure everything was done his way.
