- Convict

Convict is a shapeshifter with a skull for a head, debutting in the flash animation Pico vs. Convict, eventually becoming a semi-recurring Pico character. After killing everyone in Pico's School along with boyfriend, Pico finds a note from Nene, saying that he should meet up with her, in order to get some... "loving". But, this was all a ruse for Convict to catch up to Pico, and attack him, transforming into Pico's cousin, Otis, and beating him up to hell and back, before transforming into The Bear, choking him.

Nene shows up just in time, and gets Convict mad, chasing after Nene. Pico goes to his locker to pull out his guns, as Nene and the Convict are tussling. Pico then shoots Nene, as "Nene" (who is later revealed to be the Convict) hugs Pico.

Appearance
The Convict appears to be an adult man with a gray skull head, red eyes, sharp teeth and dark skin. He is wearing a black suit with a red tie and shoes with red dots on them.

Trivia

 * Convict appears in the game "Newgrounds Rumble", a Smash Bros type game with characters like Piconjo, Nene, Fancy Pants, and even Salad Fingers. Convict has the unique mechanic of shapeshifting into a random character every once in a while, but who and when cannot be decided manually. He is one of two unlockable characters.
 * Convict's mod is being made by Banbuds, the artist from Tricky the Clown's mod.
 * Convict's music in "Pico Vs Convict" is taken directly from the Beetlejuice theme.
 * The idea for Convict's mod was inspired off of a /v/ post on 4Chan. You would start out fighting a Boyfriend clone who's slightly out of tune (Manipulator), but after the first song, he transforms into his normal form, and begins to absolutely go to town on you (Resurgence?). Banbuds commented on this, saying, "This is unironically such a sick idea."
 * The song name for Convict's first phase has recently been confirmed as Manipulator, revealing that the name Pulling the Strings was only meant for the leak itself. Both names reference Convict's tendency to keep a low profile, often bending things to his will from behind the scenes.
 * Due to this, the true song name for Resurgence might still be unknown. Resurgence might have been chosen for the leak name simply to acknowledge how direct confrontations with Convict are few and far between.
 * After reaching out to Convict's original creator, Luis Castanon, Banbuds has been able to confirm on stream that Convict originated as a prisoner and gained his powers after being struck by lightning.


 * Pico will be part of the mod as one of the playable characters.
 * The Visitor will be the 3rd phase in the mod, fighting against Pico
 * Jigoku is taking over directing the mod and remaking ALL of the sprites which will make the mod's development even longer.
