History Characters / DreamSMPJschlatt

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: No one under Jschlatt's rule actually seems to like the guy. As of the Manburg-Pogtopia War, he has no true allies save for George, who has rarely been on the server since his election anyways. At Schlatt's funeral, [=BadBoyHalo=] announced to the attendees that all his friends were gathered there on that day, to which he is interrupted by Quackity. BBH quickly corrects himself to say "friends, enemies, and loved ones", but Quackity corrects him in return, "Nah, just enemies."

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In the Manburg-Pogtopia War, he refers to Fundy, who is canonically a trans [[FoxFolk anthropomorphic fox]], as not a real man. Tubbo has also claimed that Schlatt "liked his slurs" during his speech at his funeral.

* DomesticAbuse: His ex-fiancé, Quackity does ''not'' associate good things with Schlatt, who insulted him, [[FinancialAbuse didn't pay him a minimum wage]] while working for him, and even hit him with a pickaxe or shot him with a crossbow several times, and threatened to have him lobotomized for not meeting his beauty standards once. This gets [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] eventually, as Quackity reached his RageBreakingPoint when Schlatt destroyed the White House, [[TilMurderDoUsPart took his second canon life]], and resigned as Vice President to join Pogtopia... and is later all but outright stated to have massive amounts of trauma as a result of Schlatt's sheer douchebaggery.

* VillainousBreakdown: He has a particularly pathetic one during the first season finale. When the combined forces of Pogtopia, the Badlands, and the Greater Dream SMP all corner him in the Camarvan, Schlatt starts drunkenly ranting about how [[EtTuBrute all of his allies have betrayed him]] [[NeverMyFault while denying any wrongdoing on his part]] [[GrievousBottleyHarm and attacking anyone who gets too close with a broken bottle]].

--->'''Schlatt:''' I don't even know how my– how many anabo– how much testosterone is running through my blood– veins right now. You don't even wanna know.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In the Manburg-Pogtopia War, he refers to Fundy, who is canonically an [[FoxFolk anthropomorphic fox]], as not a real man. Tubbo has also claimed that Schlatt "liked his slurs" during his speech at his funeral.

[[caption-width-right:310:''"This [[Characters/DreamSMPDream green guy]] that comes down sometimes hints at it. He's got a book. Y'know, y' know like...like a ''book!''"'']]

* AntiClimaxBoss: When the Pogtopians find him, he's too drunk to string a sentence together. And after surviving so many events, including Quackity's betrayal, Techno's massacre--hell, the preceding battle itself--he simply dies of a heart attack (or a stroke) before any of them can get a stab in. [[invoked]]

--> '''Schlatt:''' "Let's remember this is all roleplay?" No it's not. This is real. Minecraft is real life.

* TheBully: After winning his presidency, Schlatt immediately begins throwing his weight around and [[BadBoss harassing his subordinates]] over the pettiest of reasons. [[DeconstructedTrope It's this attitude that drives away Quackity, who took the brunt of Schlatt's abuse.]]

** Notably averted when [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Quackity shoots him with a bow after having enough of his abuse]]. Schlatt is totally non-plussed, and his only reaction is to get Punz to help him tear down the White House instead of Quackity. [[DoubleSubverted He does express anger about it]] when he's cornered in the Camarvan, though he's unable to understand ''why'' Quackity betrayed him even when he points out it was the result of Schlatt's abuse.

-->'''Schlatt:''' ''(to Quackity)'' You know, when my Rogue- when my Rogue in-home gym equipment got delivered two hours ago, I made myself a promise. I said I'm not gonna associate- [[TestosteronePoisoning I'm]] not gonna take orders from these fucking- ''(overlapping with Quackity calling him out for being an UngratefulBastard)'' low-T, soy-boy beta males. LOW-T, SOY-BOY BETA MALES, AND I INJECTED AN ELECTRIC FUCK LOAD OF ANABOLIC STEROIDS INTO MY ''ASS'', AND I'M FEELING '''''JACKED!!!'''''

** The Manberg Festival is one long KickTheDog moment. Schlatt has Tubbo plan the entire festival and even write a speech just so he can twist the knife all the more when he traps him in cement and reveals that he's known all along about his treachery. [[WouldHurtAChild Schlatt then orders Techno to]] ''[[WouldHurtAChild execute]]'' [[WouldHurtAChild Tubbo]], [[EveryoneHasStandards in spite everyone else's protests.]] After Tubbo's execution is carried out, he [[NeverMyFault blames Wilbur for Tubbo's death]] and off-handedly orders Niki killed as well, calmly watching as they're both forced to RunOrDie. And to top it all off, he [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals beats a random cat to death]] in front of the remaining festival-goers for no reason.

* KnightOfCerebus: PlayedWith. Schlatt is LaughablyEvil, but his actions after becoming president cause the SMP to undergo CerebusSyndrome and become more plot-based, as well as directly and indirectly causing a lot of pain and suffering for almost the entire server down the line.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: PlayedWith. Schlatt's over-the-top toxic masculinity, substance abuse, [[TooDumbToLive refusal to wear body armor]], and [[LaughablyEvil wisecracking personality]] make him seem like a moronic joke. In reality, he's very cunning and savvy enough to exploit this image at the expense of his enemies; he spent ''weeks'' pretending to be unaware Tubbo was TheMole just so he could publicly execute him just to showcase his own power. He's still something of an idiot, just a ''very'' dangerous one.

'''Schlatt:''' Does it not? You can't look at what we did today and say that this was not done for the ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis exact. Right. Reasons.]]''
%% * ObviouslyEvil: According to Technoblade, at least.

-->'''Quackity:''' ''(writing the building permit)'' "The Official Manburg Hotel… Building Permit". Remember, this is just gonna be a building permit- ''(reads a message from his chat)'' NO! ''(laughs)'' WH- DIVORCE PAPERS? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO- WHAT DO YOU WANT, HIM TO KILL ME RIGHT THEN AND THERE, CHAT? You want Schlatt to just slice- he's gonna be like- gonna be like, "Uh, Flatty Patty? You were gonna divorce me?" He's gonna fucking pull out- pull out whatever he's got underneath th- ''(cuts himself off)'' [[NothingIsScarier You know what, I'm not gonna even go into detail.]]

* StrawHypocrite: Schlatt insists on his speeches that he cares about L'Manberg and is only trying to change it for the better, but it's very clear he doesn't give a damn about the country and his expansionistic policies are very blatantly an effort to [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans give himself even]] ''[[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans more]]'' [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans power]]. It's PlayedWith, as Schlatt seems to ''genuinely'' [[BelievingTheirOwnLies believe his own lies]].

--->'''Schlatt:''' I don't even know how my- how many anabo- how much testosterone is running through my blood- veins right now. You don't even wanna know.

-->'''Schlatt:''' [[TemptingFate You're too much of a pussy to even shoot me with the bow]], [[OneHitKill it'll kill me in one blow]], but ''(mockingly)'' "Oh, no, I can't do it! I can't do it, I'm Quackity! I'm Quackity, I don't know what sex feels like-"\\

** While Fundy initially only joins Schlatt's cabinet to serve as TheMole, he starts to actually start looking up to Schlatt and viewing him as a good leader because Schlatt's genuine appreciation for Fundy's hard work fills [[WellDoneSonGuy Fundy's desperate need to be appreciated by an authority figure]]. Schlatt's [[KickTheDog actions]] at the [[PublicExecution Manberg Festival]] serve as a reality check and forces Fundy to accept that Schlatt is a murderous, irredeemable tyrant. Schlatt's [[AmbiguousSituation either]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain transphobic or racist remarks]] when he learns Fundy has betrayed him only shatters the pedestal further.

* HateSink: He is a calculating, manipulative ControlFreak of a dictator who [[WouldHurtAChild orders the execution of a teenager]] after making him plan the festival he would be unknowingly executed at, and [[BadBoss mistreats his subordinates]] so much that pretty much his entire administration is either TheMole or would [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal end up betraying him]] for [[LaResistance Pogtopia]]. By the time of his death, he is openly [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain transphobic]]/[[FantasticRacism racist]] towards Fundy (narrative-wise, it is ambiguous to which aspect he is referring to), and practically the entire server [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating hates him so much]] that they gang up on him during the final battle of Season 1, and [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing celebrate his death]] after it occurs by showing their LastDisrespects at his [[TheFunInFuneral funeral]]. For example, his ex-fiancé, Quackity, who [[TilMurderDoUsPart shot him]] after resigning from being his NumberTwo, is able to commit BlackComedyCannibalism with no repercussions, which just goes to show ''how'' badly everyone on the server hated him.
* HiddenDisdainReveal: It's implied during the confrontation in the Camarvan that none of Schlatt's kindness towards Fundy was genuine and that [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain he looked down on him for being]] [[AmbiguousSituation either]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain transgender or]] [[FantasticRacism an anthropomorphic fox.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In the Manburg-Pogtopia War, he refers to Fundy, who is canonically an [[FoxFolk anthropomorphic fox]], as not a real man[[note]]Narrative-wise, it can go either way[[/note]]. Tubbo has also claimed that Schlatt "liked his slurs" during his speech at his funeral.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Jschlatt is this to Dream. For all Tommy's claiming that Dream was a dictator, Jschlatt was a hundred times worse...
** ...Which makes it all the more ironic when Dream himself pulls this on Jschlatt. Jschlatt ultimately proves to just be a DiscOneFinalBoss, while Dream bides his time until Jschlatt's gone only to prove himself the true BigBad.

* DirtyOldMan: Schlatt has canonically shown attraction towards several characters who are [[VagueAge presumably]] young adults. However, on his end, other characters have described Schlatt as "old and senile"; the fact that he dies from the effects of [[https://www.hvrc.com/end-stage-alcoholism-life-expectancy/ long-term alcohol abuse]], which usually kills middle-aged people and older folks in general, doesn't help either.

* DodgyToupee: Not explicit while he was alive, but Schlatt's coffin in his funeral did contain a wig.[[note]]In the game, it was a piece of brown dye, but shhh, Minecraft limitations.[[/note]]

* FlirtatiousSmackOnTheAss: In the first "Las Nevadas" stream, Schlatt offhandedly admits to doing this with his fiancé at the time while he was alive, while the aforementioned ex-fiancé is confronting him. It is unstated whether or not this action was consensual.

* ObviouslyEvil: According to Technoblade, at least.

Tubbo has also claimed that Schlatt "liked his slurs" during his speech at his funeral.
* PresidentEvil: He is (technically) democratically elected as the president of L'Manburg[[note]]only after pooling his votes with Quackity, mind you, and they only beat out Wilbur and Tommy by 1%[[/note]]... and immediately makes himself Emperor and either imprisons or exiles those who oppose him, and that's just the start. Obviously, this is lampshaded several times by various people on the server.

* TestosteronePoisoning: He is obsessed with working out and doesn't like being associated with "low-T, soy-boy beta males" (his words, not ours).
** As a bonus, he is also known to be a user of anabolic steroids, and shows several psychological side effects of misusing them... in other words, he [[LiteralMetaphor quite literally had testosterone poisoning]].

* EvilOverlord: {{Deconstructed|CharacterArchetype}}. After being elected as president of L'Manberg, Schlatt immediately begins centralizing his power and sets out on an expansionist agenda, intending to conquer the entire server. On top of this, he begins bullying and threatening both his subordinates and the residents of his country like a standard Evil Overlord, and engages in public and often brutal displays of his power. As a result of his brazenly cruel and power-hungry behavior, he alienates most of his allies and drives them to abandon him. By the end of the arc and season, his position becomes essentially meaningless as he's turned almost the entire server against him and pretty much everyone who hasn't been directly wronged by him still recognize that keeping him alive holds pretty much no benefit for anyone.

* DirtyOldMan: Schlatt has canonically shown attraction towards several characters who are [[VagueAge presumably]] young adults. However, on his end, other characters have described Schlatt as "old and senile"; the fact that he dies from the effects of [[https://www.hvrc.com/end-stage-alcoholism-life-expectancy/ long-term alcohol abuse]] doesn't help either.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: As a result of his power high, Schlatt thinks that his position protects him from the consequences of his actions and thus engages in a lot of pointless cruelty [[ForTheEvulz for his own]] [[ItAmusedMe amusement]]. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome He winds up pushing away all his allies because of his disgusting and unreliable behavior.]]
