History Fanon / LifeSMP

*** '''Mars''': it rhymes with 'stars' and his real-life name is derived from the Roman god Mars.
*** '''Comet/meteor''': because he's "always falling" and unpredictable, is a traveller and a [[CometOfDoom harbinger of disaster and destruction]], and has a tendency to crash into people's worlds and go out in a blaze of glory. It is also a nod to a meteor crashing into Martyn's base in the WebVideo/EvolutionSMP, [[spoiler:the lore prequel to the Life series in the "Eyes and Ears" continuity]].

** Cleo is shaping up to be Pluto, as Real Life was incredibly short compared to the main seasons much like Pluto is a very small celestial body, and has ongoing debate about whether it "counts" as a planet in the same way Real Life may or may not be a proper season. Pluto is also the Roman counterpart of Hades, the Greek god of the dead and the underworld, which fits Cleo to a tee.

* In Double Life, soulbound pairs are sometimes interpreted to not just feel each other's pain, but any sensation in general, like heat and cold. Some fans even extend the 'pain' part to emotional pain and not just physical pain, mainly for angsty reasons. Other than this, the most common depiction for the soul-binding is a literal RedStringOfFate connecting the soulmates, which is possibly influenced by the logo of the series.

* A common fan interpretation is that [[LaserGuidedAmnesia none of the players, barring a few exceptions, remember the events of past seasons]]. The main exceptions tend to be the winners of each season, along with Watcher- or Listener-aligned players -- including Jimmy, who worked as a Listener acolyte in the WebVideo/EvolutionSMP. While the theory has been {{jossed}} by cc!Martyn, who has said that everyone remembers the ''events'' of past seasons but not the emotional connections formed during it, some fans still prefer to go with the amnesia interpretation, often for storytelling purposes.

* In an attempt to fit the Real Life SMP into the Life series canon, especially in the context of the "Eyes and Ears" continuity and adjacent fanon, the most common explanation on Tumblr is that the players, [[spoiler:and likely the Watchers as well]], were [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs intoxicated/drunk]] during the season [[spoiler:and when the latter came up with the idea for it]]. This is likely to explain how Minecraft VR impairs the players' movements, then translating it to what they consider to be the closest in-universe equivalent.

%%** [[spoiler:Cleo]] is -- though its early days -- shaping up to be Pluto, as Real Life was incredibly short compared to the main seasons much like Pluto is a very small celestial body, and has ongoing debate about whether it "counts" as a planet in the same way Real Life may or may not be a proper season. Oh, and also [[spoiler:Pluto is one name for the Greek god of death/rebirth/the underworld, which fits Cleo to a tee]].

* In-game, Scott ends up being killed using the "/kill" command after his victory in Last Life; due to the revelation of [[spoiler:the Watchers being behind the Life games and holding a grudge against Scott for defying the Boogeyman curse]], as well as the 4-way battle royale ending at night, this final death is popularly depicted as him being struck down by a BoltOfDivineRetribution.

Oh, and also [[spoiler:Pluto is one name for the Greek god of death/rebirth/the underworld, which fits Cleo to a tee]].

** Scar is either Earth, Pluto, or Eclipse -- [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on who you ask]] -- chosen due to Scar's dynamics with others, though there have been jokes about making his motif [[Franchise/StarWars the Death Star]].

* Fan interpretation on how each player's [[DeathsHourglass life-timer]] manifests in-universe in Limited Life may vary from physical clocks and watches, to an ExplosiveLeash that detonates when the player's life-time runs out, etc.

* In Last Life and Limited Life, Boogeymen are sometimes depicted with red eyes to emphasize their 'cursed' status of [[RedEyesTakeWarning being forced to kill]]. Alternatively, they are depicted with purple eyes to symbolize that [[spoiler:the Watchers, who are usually associated with the colour, are the ones behind the Boogeyman curse]].

* During his more unhinged, murderous moments, Grian is often depicted with purple eyes or even flashes of his "true Watcher form" from [[EyeDentityGiveaway losing control of his normal player guise]].

* A popular fandom design for all characters is for their eye colours to match the number of lives they have remaining, i.e. Green Lives (3 lives) with green eyes, Yellow Lives (2 lives) with amber eyes, and Red Lives (1 life) with red eyes, even if the content creators' Minecraft skins do not correspond to the convention.
