| This article contains SPOILERS for the main story of CrossCode. Proceed at your own risk! |
The antagonist of CrossCode, referred to as the Blue Avatar, is an avatar with a history with Lea who tries to kidnap her for unknown purposes.
| Blue Avatar |

A mysterious blue avatar who appeared on the cargo ship M.S. Solar. He sees himself as some kind of god and thus above all other beings. He seems to be a special kind of avatar, being able to fly and leave the Playground. |

Appearance
The Designer is a tall avatar with light blue skin and long, tangled black hair. On his head, wears a partial helmet consisting of a gold band with a stylized sun above his forehead, reminiscent of a ceremonial headdress, and connected to a chin guard. He also has a black visor covering his eyes. He wears a shirt of segmented gray, blue and gold armor and matching gloves and shoes, along with baggy orange pants. An orange sash with pixelated ends floats around his waist, unsupported. Early concept art shows him wearing a long white and gold necklace with a circular gold and blue pendant, but this is not seen in-game.
Personality
The Designer is shown to act superior and condescending to everyone, and completely ignores the desires and opinions of others in favor of pursuing his own goals, whatever they might be. He views avatars as being superior to humans, exemplified by him greatly underestimating Jet and dismissively referring to him as a "mortal". He speaks in a rather odd, stilted manner and comes off as rather out of touch, but has proven himself to be the most powerful character seen to date.
Relationships
The Designer knows Lea from before her amnesia. Initially, he intends to remove her from the game for being outside the Playground, but on recognizing her, he changes tactics, first pitting her against the Huge Hostile Crab to prove her identity, and then attempting to kidnap her. This strongly hints that their previous relationship was antagonistic, although his treatment of her does not stand out exceptionally from his overall treatment of others.
Captain Jet's strong senses of order and duty strongly clash with the Designer's condescending attitude and dismissive views of non-avatars. Although the avatar initially dismisses Jet as boring and not worthy of his attention, Jet is later able to hold him off with the Solar Fist and destroy his avatar, greatly infuriating him.
The Blue Avatar usually refers to himself in plural, suggesting that he may not only be part of some sort of group or organisation, but also may not be the only one of his kind.
History
The Designer's past and identity are a mystery. Although he is an avatar, he does not fit any of the CrossWorlds classes. He demonstrates powers, specifically flight and summoning bosses, that would most likely be gamebreaking in the hands of players, and Sergey is unable to find any link between him and CrossWorlds.
The developers have accidentally revealed on-stream that he is an Ancient.
Role in CrossCode
The Designer senses Lea's presence on the M.S. Solar and seeks her out, intending to remove her for being outside the Playground. However, he recognizes her, and summons a Huge Hostile Crab for her to fight in order to prove her identity. Satisfied that she is who he thought she was, he attempts to kidnap her, but is shot by Captain Jet's rocket launcher, damaging his avatar. He continues to fight Jet while summoning Advanced Attack Robots to apprehend Lea, but she is successful at leaving the ship, at which point Jet destroys his avatar with an IMF Neutralizer.
He is the creator of the final dungeon and is the final boss of the game.
First fight
The first duel against the Designer takes place after Lea is forcibly teleported out of the First Scholars raid, into an unofficial part of Bergen Trail.

Combat
Initially, the Designer does not attack, but he will teleport to dodge all of Lea's attacks. After dodging eight times, he begins to attack and Lea is able to hit the boss.
The Designer surrounds himself with orbs of which he can throw at Lea to perform elemental attacks. When thrown, the heat orb travels through her current position before curving back to the Designer. The cold orb falls to the ground, creating splitting icicles where it lands. The shock orb flies to her twice before returning. And finally, the wave orb leaves a lingering stock wave when it hits the ground.
Besides his elemental attacks, the Designer can charge at Lea up to three times in succession, depending on his remaining HP. He can also summon two sets of large spheres on either side of him to sweep her. Each of them have either a gap or two destructible spheres for Lea to avoid getting hit.

But he caged us and my designs were used for things I don't even want to think about anymore. It all seems too... distant. Until she arrived and gave me one last chance to create the ultimate experience." |

Third fight
Once the Designer drops to 50% HP, he takes Lea to a new arena above the clouds and reappears as The Creator.
Trivia
- The name Egyptian Mr. Freeze was given by a streamer and is not official, but the developers thought it was so funny, that they just took it over as a nickname.
- In the game's files, his In-Game portrait is named designer.png. This, in conjunction with his status as an ancient and his game-breaking powers, could hint to him being the/a designer of Crossworlds.
