* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Throughout the last chunk of Season 1, people keep bringing up the fact that Techno was the one to perform Tubbo's execution, which Techno was sick of, because according to him, "circumstances forced [his] hand". However, unlike Eret, Techno has never tried to make up for what he did in a highly traumatic event.

A feared PVP legend brought in by Wilbur to help fight Jschlatt's tyranny. However, Techno had no personal stake in Pogtopia, and as a result, was more of a WildCard willing to do whatever it takes to keep things interesting. This wound up backfiring ''hard'' for the Pogtopians, as Techno teamed up with Wilbur to destroy Manburg once and for all.\\

A feared PVP legend brought in by Wilbur to help fight Jschlatt's tyranny. However, Techno had no personal stake in Pogtopia, and as a result, was more of a WildCard willing to do whatever it takes to keep things interesting. This wound up backfiring ''hard'' for the Pogtopians, as Techno teamed up with Wilbur to destroy Manburg once and for all.\\
\\
After the destruction of Manburg, Techno swore off his violent ways and [[TheHermit retreated to a snowy biome]] to go into [[RetiredBadass retirement]] alongside Philza, who became disillusioned with L'Manburg after his son Wilbur's death. However, this changed when Phil was put under house arrest and L'Manburg tried (and failed) to execute Techno himself. Out of revenge for himself and his friend, Techno renewed his conflict with L'Manburg and came out of retirement to become the nation's worst enemy. This culminated in the Doomsday War, where Techno and Phil allied with Dream to leave a smoking crater where L'Manburg once was.

Run.]] ''(laughs)'' If you're a ''player'', in the server, he's ''going'' to hit you! That's how it goes. And if you're in the way, that's- you're in his way.
* BombThrowingAnarchist: This is Techno's ''modus operandi''; Techno intends on causing as much chaos and action as needed, regardless of which side he takes.
* BrainyPig: Techno's skin is a PigMan, and, despite what first impressions might suggest, he has an [[GeniusBruiser extensive knowledge]] of Myth/ClassicalMythology and often quotes Creator/SunTzu. This can be attributed to how the content creator himself used to be an English major.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Often references the absurdity of the roleplay in the server and generally doesn't roleplay, even through key moments of the plot. He's also one of the only members of the SMP whose conversations with his chat are canon (explained as having voices in his head).
* BroughtDownToBadass: While escaping execution after having to surrender most of his gear, he killed Quackity with only iron armor and a [[ImprovisedWeapon pick]][[PowerfulPick axe]]. He continued using the pickaxe as his only weapon until he got his old gear back and at one time was equally matched against 3 people while using it.
* CatchPhrase: "Blood for the Blood God."
* ComedicSociopathy: His hatred of orphans is played for laughs.
* CrazyPrepared:
** Before the final battle between Pogtopia and Manburg, Techno leads his side to a secret vault filled with Netherite Armor, Enchanted Weapons, Potions and more.
--->'''Quackity''': [[LampshadeHanging How much free time do you have]]?!
** After making a [[EnemyMine deal]] with Tommy, he reveals another vault near his new base, which are covered on the walls with enough Wither Skulls to produce up to ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 55 Withers.]]''
* DeadpanSnarker: His sarcasm and deadpan delivery are some of the things he's known for, but it's even funnier considering how everyone else [[WorldOfHam tends to be.]]
* DisabilityImmunity: When Bad asks him if he can hear the Egg's voice, Techno points out that he's HearingVoices (his stream chat) ''all'' the time, implying that said trait is protecting him from being influenced by the Egg.
* TheDreaded: Techno is one of the best [=PVPers=] in the entire game. His joining Pogtopia was met with an understandable OhCrap from Manburg.
** Apparently, he has had this reputation for ''quite a while'' before the events of the SMP.
--->'''Quackity:''' One night before Minecraft Mondays[[note]]implied to be Week 1, which took place in late June 2019[[/note]], [Junky Janker and I] got in a call, and we started reading out the list of teams and he said, "Technoblade? And [=ShotGunRaids=]? Those guys are fu- Those guys are fucking monsters! They're awful!" And I was like, I was like, "Dude. Dude, no, they're not, you're- you're exaggerating." To be honest, Techno, I didn't know nothing about you at that point... ''THEN WE PLAYED MINECRAFT MONDAYS AND, LIKE--'' ''[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes YOU RUINED]]'' ''[[TraumaButton MY FUCKING LIFE]]''.
* EnemyMine: Despite their misgivings about each other, he and Quackity are willing to team up in order to take down the Eggpire, which has been a thorn in the sides of everyone for quite some time.
* FaceHeelTurn: For the entire Pogtopia vs Manburg arc, he stated that he was against any form of government and wanted to see the land Manburg was on razed to the ground. After the Revolution, while the citizens of New L'Manburg were meeting to turn over the government and restore the land, he killed their new president, Tubbo, released two Withers onto the land, and blew up three stacks of TNT just to clean up what Wilbur missed.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Tommy. Where Tommy seems to be [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex compensating for a lack of confidence with bluster]], Techno is secure in his status as the best PVP'er on the server. Where Tommy wants to redeem Wilbur, Techno seeks to drive him further into madness. When L'Manburg is retaken, Tommy takes the side of the country when Techno razes it to the ground. Most of the internal conflict in Pogtopia came from Technoblade and Tommy antagonizing each other, with [[TheIdealist Tommy believing in hope for a better future]] while [[TheCynic Techno is jaded and only sees the potential for tyranny]].
** To Wilbur. While Wilbur prefers to use his skills as a wordsmith to make a point, Techno believes that violence is the only universal language that people are willing to listen to. However, Techno is willing to make a speech or two if the situation calls for it.
** To Dream. Dream prefers to [[TheChessmaster manipulate people from behind the scenes]], while Techno brute-forces his way through most situations. While both are trying to topple governments, Techno does it because he genuinely believes that governments are inherently evil, while Dream does it because he believes ''he'' should be the one in charge.
** To Quackity: Both have their own beliefs on what is the best for the people and a very strong determination to help, but their ideology and characteristics are opposites of each other. Quackity is not a strong combatant, but he is very good at controlling conversations and convincing people to support his point of view, while Techno prefers to use action to showcase his own beliefs, valuing acts over words. Quackity believes that ensuring absolute order and security is the only way of having a civilized world, however corrupt it may be; whereas Techno believes that anarchy will lead to a more peaceful world, as he sees governments to be inherently evil, and freedom and equality of the people impossible to achieve under an absolute order.
** To Punz. Both have very anarchistic mindsets and [[WildCard often times capable of switching allegiances]] on a whim. However, while Techno has UndyingLoyalty to his friends, Punz only cares about money and can easily be bribed [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder to betray his friends for profit]]. Punz wishes to keep the server [[AnarchyIsChaos in a permanent state of chaos]], whereas Techno wishes to [[BombThrowingAnarchist use anarchy]] to create a more peaceful world.
* FullBoarAction: He is a PigMan who is renowned for his PvP skills in the Minecraft community, and let's just say he's also renowned for being TheDreaded for a reason.
* GoldFever: Spends at least half an hour in [[FireAndBrimstoneHell the Nether]] seeking out gold to make golden apples, leading to quite a lot of jokes that he's a Piglin (which makes sense, considering [[PigMan his skin]]).
* HamAndDeadpanDuo: [[{{Irony}} Funnily enough]], Wilbur is the ham to [[PigMan Techno's]] deadpan.
* HearingVoices: These "voices" being [[FromBeyondTheFourthWall his stream chat]], which he said to be the source of his BloodKnight tendencies.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Technoblade may be an aloof, violent, and proud warrior who sticks by his ideals no matter what, but he's not heartless. While he tends to not be overt about it, Techno does have a few people he cares about. He holds his oldest friend Philza in high regard and helped him escape house arrest in L'manberg, he urged Ghostbur to run away and stay safe when the Butcher Army was on their way to Technoblade's home, and while him and Tommy disagree a lot and aren't on best terms, he let Tommy live with him after the latter ran away from exile. Later on, Techno lied to Dream about Tommy's whereabouts to keep the boy safe, even though Dream had recently helped Technoblade escape his execution and having nothing to gain for doing so. And come the Doomsday War, he seems to have at least a little VillainRespect for Dream himself (though it helps that they both wanted L'Manburg gone at the time).
** Ranboo has been added to the list, as Techno admitted that he cares about Ranboo's wellbeing and helped save Ranboo from Bad's plot to trap him in the Egg Chamber, even lending him his prized trident.
* HoldingTheFloor: One of his go-to responses during high-risk, life threatening scenarios is rambling to buy time, either for himself so he can come up with a way out or for others so they can intervene. One example of this is Tubbo's execution, where he awkwardly refused Schlatt's kill order until he no longer could.
-->'''Schlatt:''' Please, if you would be so kind.
-->'''Techno:''' What are you asking, Schlatt? [[SelectiveObliviousness You want me to get him some breakfast?]]
** When Dream comes to Technoblade's home looking for Tommy, he constantly interrupts him using his stream donations.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Techno claims to be an anarchist because he wants to prevent tyranny, and believes that all forms of government are inherently tyrannical. He's attempted to combat this tyranny by forming the Syndicate, a secret organization that investigates communities, by conducting searches and interrogating their inhabitants, with the promise that if they find evidence of a government, they will raze the entire place to the ground. It says a lot that his methods for freeing people from the influence of government is basically forming the SecretPolice.
* IWillFightNoMoreForever: Attempted this when he retired after his first attack on L'Manburg, but after they tried to execute him, he decided to come out of retirement, reduce L'Manburg to empty space, then re-enter retirement once more.
* ImprobableAge / VagueAge: Wilbur has claimed that Techno is presumably in his late [=20s=], but has also had a [[IntergenerationalFriendship longtime established friendship]] with [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Philza]], and started the Antarctic Empire and [[TakeOverTheWorld took over SMP Earth]] with him before the events of the Dream SMP. It also doesn't help that whether Techno is [[MayflyDecemberFriendship mortal]] or not is a question in itself.
* {{Irony}}:
** He hates orphans because he was made an orphan by them. Also serves as a FreudianExcuse.
** In the pursuit of anarchy, he becomes an arguably more tyrannical, unstoppable force than the alleged tyrannical governments he topples.
** Similarly, despite being an anarchist, his earliest days on the server has him wearing his traditional skin, a pigman in [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia regal garbs]].
* TheKingslayer: He's killed 4 people in the SMP that had positions in power; he accidentally killed Schlatt when the latter got caught in the crossfire of Tubbo's execution, he killed Tubbo again after the boy was named president by Wilbur, and he assassinated George after Dream made him king. The latter two are not considered canon deaths, though.
* MultitaskedConversation: During Tubbo's execution, after his unsuccessful attempts at [[HoldingTheFloor delaying it]], he's seen to check the audience frequently and make a remark on how many people there were. Considering Tubbo got revealed as a traitor for a group he's also secretly a part of, his comment on being peer-pressured is also meant to convey how he ''has'' to kill him, so as to not blow his own cover.
* NighInvulnerable: Considering that Techno has some of the strongest equipment in the game, he usually makes a show of his power by letting other people attack him, and laughing when it [[NoSell inflicts no damage]].
** One example of this was when a [[BossInMookClothing Ravager]] repeatedly attacked Techno while an Illager raid happened nearby. His response was to ''[[RefugeInAudacity stand still and read his donations until the Ravager died by]]'' ''[[AttackReflector the damage inflicted by the Thorns enchantment]]''.
** Another example happened when Fundy trapped Techno in a dunk tank at the festival. Unfortunately for Fundy, Techno had a [[SuperNotDrowningSkills Respiration III]] helmet, which negated most damage taken from drowning and increased breathing time underwater. Techno then proceeded to promote his channel while in the process of drowning, and even [[UpToEleven briefly stepped away from his computer in real life to drink a glass of water]]. Needless to say, Fundy was ''not'' happy.
** In the aftermath of the festival, Tommy attacked an AFK Techno to avenge Tubbo, as Techno had executed Tubbo during the event. Techno's Thorns-enchanted Netherite armor meant that Tommy not only kills himself in the process, but also does so little damage that when Techno returned he's unaware that Tommy even tried to kill him until he saw the loot that Tommy dropped upon his death.
** He now has taken this even further by finding two totems of undying, and through them has survived his execution at the hands of Quackity's Butcher Army.
** During the Doomsday War, Technoblade goes below 5 hearts for the first time in a PvP situation since joining the server. It says a lot when it required him to face [[TheBrute Sapnap]] and several [[FriendlyFire withers shooting at him]] to even drop to that level of health. Naturally, he was CrazyPrepared enough to bring God Apples to the war and is quickly back to full health.
* NotSoStoic: While Techno is usually very deadpan, he shows a ''very'' visceral [[https://lesbiantechno.tumblr.com/post/649499550983290881/gonna-start-sending-this-to-people-calling reaction]] when he discovers that zombies [[KickTheDog actively seek out unhatched turtle eggs just to stomp on them]].
-->'''Techno:''' NO! What-- heh, heh, ''heh?''
-->'''Phil:''' O--
-->'''Techno:''' The zombie just crushed two eggs!
-->'''Phil:''' Yeah, they do that.
-->'''Techno:''' ''(looks up at Phil, who is building a dirt platform above the ground, sounding distressed)'' For ''fun?!''
* NoSell: Through a mix of terrible rhetoric and the fact that he's already HearingVoices to begin with, Techno is completely unconvinced and unaffected by the Crimson or its agents, to the point where he attempts to beat Bad to death out of sheer irritation.
* NoSocialSkills: Downplayed. Though he has friends and [[UndyingLoyalty would do anything to protect those he cares for]], he is notably a bit socially awkward, and when Quackity tries to ask him out on a date as a last ditch effort to stop him from attacking, he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere legs it]].
* NoSympathy: He was ''completely'' unconcerned with Tommy's death, openly saying he hated the kid when the news was brought up. This might be attributed to their past, which may have caused Techno to see him as an AssholeVictim.
* OneManArmy: He is proficient in combat to the point of being able to equally match three people in a fight with a [[PowerfulPick pickaxe]]. Quackity even identifies him as "the next best thing" to an army during the Red Banquet.
* OnlyFriend: Following his banishment from New L'Manburg, Technoblade considers Philza his only true remaining friend.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While Techno will take any chance to kill people in cold blood, he clearly did ''not'' want to shoot Tubbo when Schlatt ordered him to. He repeatedly tried to stall by taking Schlatt's {{Deadly Euphemism}}s [[LiteralMinded literally]], until he finally has no other choice but to take the shot.
-->'''Techno:''' Tubbo... Tubbo, I'm sorry. I'll try to make this as painless and colorful as possible...
* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: Techno doesn't do well under peer pressure, and because of this, he ends up giving in to Schlatt's demands to execute Tubbo at the Manburg Festival in front of a large crowd.
-->'''Techno:''' [[ApologeticAttacker Tubbo, I'm sorry...]] ''(turns around)'' Tubbo, I'm being subjected to [[{{Understatement}} mild amounts]] of peer pressure, Tubbo-- ''(shoots Tubbo)''
* PetTheDog: After surviving his own execution and escaping from L'Manburg, he refuses to throw away the Blue that Ghostbur gave him while organizing his inventory.
* PigMan: Techno's skin is based off the anthropomorphic pigmen of the pre-1.16 Nether.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: Techno often promotes his channel at the most inopportune moments, and even has a "Sellout Timer" set to go off every thirty minutes so he can remember to promote. This is taken to the absolute extreme with one of the withers he lets loose on the ruins of L'Manburg being named ''Subscribe to Technoblade''.
* RedBaron: As a carryover from WebOriginal/SMPEarth, he is nicknamed "The Blade", as Tommy calls him during the Battle of the Lake.
* RivalsTeamUp: He and Dream do this during the Battle of the Lake, with both having supported Pogtopia's efforts for quite some time.
** In the wake of the Green Festival, Dream and Techno realize that they share a common interest--L'Manburg's complete and utter annihilation--and decide to join forces in what becomes the Doomsday War. With their combined powers, they turn the nation into a ''crater''.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After the Butcher Army captured him, tried (and failed) to execute him, and put Philza, his last true friend, under house arrest, he proceeds to team up with Dream to completely destroy L'manburg.
* TheScapegoat: Despite Wilbur being the one who blew up L'Manberg and Dream being the one who orchestrated the whole debacle, he's the one with a WantedPoster in New L'Manberg. This stems from Wilbur being dead and wandering the SMP as a ghost, and Dream being a highly powerful and influential political leader, which leaves Techno (someone who's alive and unaffiliated with any political faction) being the easiest to put a bounty on. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], though, since Techno was going to do what he did regardless of whether or not Wilbur beat him to the punch.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: To say that Techno will take any opportunity to promote his channel would be an understatement. Even at the most serious moments of the roleplay, Techno can and will break both the viewer's immersion and the fourth wall just to ask people to subscribe to his channel. He has, on ''more than one occasion'', massacred people with something named "Subscribe to Technoblade" so that it shows up in the death messages in the chat.
* ShootYourMate: After exposing Tubbo as a [[TheMole traitor]] to Manburg and sealing him in blocks, Jschlatt orders Technoblade to execute him. Under pressure by the large crowd surrounding him, Techno takes the shot... [[AccidentalMurder and accidentally blows up both]] [[LaserGuidedKarma Jschlatt and Quackity with him]].
* SleepDeprivation: Techno sets up a potato farm in Pogtopia, and farms potatoes for... a long time.
-->'''Wilbur:''' O...kay... How long have you been on this- How long have you spent here?\\
'''Techno:''' Uh... I haven't logged off.\\
'''Wilbur:''' Wait, you... you haven't logged off the server from last night?\\
'''Techno:''' Yeah, I've just- I've just been here.\\
'''Wilbur:''' That's like, that's like... 14 hours, Technoblade... ''(laughs)''\\
'''Techno:''' Revolution waits for no man.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Prior to the Manberg Festival, Technoblade outlines his "ideal world" in order to persuade [=BadBoyHalo=] to the side of anarchy. It also reveals the irony of his insistence that "government corrupts": Techno's stance as one of the most powerful people on the server (taking into account his PVP skills and the sheer amount of material wealth he has that allows him to be equipped for any situation) and his penchant for [[MightMakesRight using violence to get what he wants out of others]] could, as Tubbo says, make ''him'' a tyrant.
-->'''Technoblade:''' How can I sell you on massive anarchy from which the nation never recovers and just dissolves? [...] The world regresses into a dog-eat-dog world where only the strong survive and the weak live huddled in fear.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: After Fundy locked Techno in a dunk tank by (with the intent to drown him) as the latter was practicing trident leaps combined with [[SoftWater "MLG water saves"]], Techno demonstrates the power of a Respiration III helmet by staying in the tank for several minutes and [[ChewingTheScenery overdramatically]] ''pretending'' to be in any real danger from breath loss while many of the other players are awkwardly watching.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Philza.
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows shades of this after Ranboo gives him a replica of the Axe of Peace.
-->'''Technoblade:''' Well, I suppose, this is, this is, I guess this gift is sorta okay, I- I suppose I might find a use for this.
-->'''Ranboo:''' Maybe, maybe.
-->'''Technoblade:''' Ahhh, my heart isn't warmed at all, okay? Just because you gave me this axe, doesn't mean we're friends now, don't get any ideas. But, you know, I guess- I guess I appreciate it a little bit.
* UndyingLoyalty: He would do anything to protect those he cares for, most notably Philza and Ranboo. The [[https://dreamteam.fandom.com/wiki/Technoblade/SMP#Flaws Dream SMP Wiki]] cites it as one of his flaws, and as demonstrated below, it is arguably his FatalFlaw.
** This is {{exploited}} by Quackity, who [[IHaveYourWife held his prized horse Carl hostage]] to force Techno to go along with the Butcher Army for execution.
* UnreliableNarrator: Techno considers himself to be very open and honest about his ideals and plans, and felt betrayed both by Pogtopia forming a new government in L'Manburg, and Tommy leaving him to stick by Tubbo's side because he claims they ''knew'' what he was up to. However, Techno is anything ''but'' transparent. He refused to answer questions about his true intentions during the Pogtopia-era, saying "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it", and deliberately downplayed his plans to destroy L'Manburg when Tommy was staying with him, deleting "Destroy L'Manburg" from his to-do list before giving it to Tommy, only referring to his plans as "minor terrorism", and repeatedly telling Tommy that they'd hash out the details later whenever Tommy insisted he didn't want to harm L'Manburg or Tubbo, and just wanted help getting his discs back.
* WantedPoster: New L'Manberg has several of these with him on it due to him sticking to his ideals of anarchy and turning on New L'Manberg. Techno even takes advantage of this by standing in front of one and pretending to be part of the poster while waiting for Philza. Everyone sees through his disguise, but are far too intimidated to challenge him and instead leave him be.
* WarriorPoet: For a BloodKnight like Technoblade, he is surprisingly erudite and philosophical. He often quotes Creator/SunTzu and makes references to historical and mythological events.
* WhamLine:
** His join message is this for everyone outside of Pogtopia's Tommy and Wilbur.
** His declaration of anarchy post-festival reveals his ''true'' desire regarding what will happen to Manburg.
--->'''Technoblade:''' I want to leave a smoking crater from which not only will Manburg never recover, but from which no new country can rise in its place. History will ''forget'' that a country ever existed in this area.
* WildCard:
** Techno joined Pogtopia under the belief that they'd be outnumbered throughout the conflict. However, as Jschlatt lost more and more support, Techno has considered joining the dictator for no reason other than to keep things interesting. Wilbur and Tommy are well aware of this, and only seem to keep him around because him openly being on Jschlatt's side is much worse than just the possibility of him defecting to Jschlatt's side.
** Wilbur and Tommy aren't the only ones worried about it, though, as Jschlatt attempting to force Techno to execute Tubbo results in not only his own death (twice), but the deaths of nearly everyone attending the festival other than Wilbur and Tommy when Techno decides to start firing rockets.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Supposedly, Techno's FreudianExcuse for killing orphans is that his parents were murdered by orphans at an orphanage they visited, [[{{Irony}} which would, by technicality, make]] ''[[{{Irony}} him]]'' [[{{Irony}} an orphan.]]
