| 13 | |
| 14 | !Plains Island / The [=FedEx=] Alliance |
| 15 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 16 | * {{Arcadia}}: Featured plenty of trees, plants, and bees, with no additional natural hazards to be wary of, allowing for civilization to get a head start there. This, compared to the other islands that had [[QuicksandSucks powdered snow]], monster spawning dense foliage, or a distinctive lack of trees, meant that life was relatively peaceful in comparison, barring one major incident. |
| 17 | * MirroringFactions: As pointed out by Ish, Pendaris and UPS prove themselves to not be all that different. They're both democratic factions formed out of wanting to keep their people safe that resided on the southern half of the island. |
| 18 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[SubvertedTrope Almost]] entered into a CivilWar due to Sidefall attempting to reach out to other islands for alliances, something the other Plains states interpreted as a PretextForWar, which Sidefall never wanted. This was exacerbated by a propagandist ([=TrinkTop=]) deliberately spreading the lie that Sidefall was gearing up for an invasion, leading to a tense negotiation at [[TruceZone The Tavern]] between Sidefall, [=HorusCrowned=], and the other plains leaders before the miscommunication was cleared up and alliance established. |
| 19 | [[/folder]] |
| 20 | |
| 21 | !!!'''Pendaris''' |
| 22 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 23 | * AbsurdlyCoolCity: The original goal at least was to unite the people of the plains to make, "the most beautiful and nicest city." This would quickly give way to becoming more of a government as factions arose across the island, but the city at large was still quite nice. |
| 24 | [[/folder]] |

| 26 | [[folder:Horus]] |

| 29 | ->"''Our aim is building the most beautiful and nicest city on the entire server.''" |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The founder and eventual leader of Pendaris. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Sidefall; both formed their faction out of positive intent for their people. This realization helped them to find common ground and avoid a war. |
| 34 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Assumed from Sidefall's communications with the snow island that he was planning to betray the plains, causing him to set up blockades on his side of the island and prepare for war, when Sidefall wanted nothing of the sort. |
| 35 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he doubted Sidefall's claims that the communication with the Aculon Empire had been a misunderstanding, Horus still gives him the benefit of the doubt and agrees to meet and talk things out, stopping a war before it could happen. |
| 36 | * ReluctantRuler: {{Downplayed}}, but when founding Pendaris, Horus had no original intent actually to be a leader of a political faction, but more or less fell into the role by default once UPS formed. |
| 37 | * TheStrategist: When fearing Sidefall had plans to betray the plains, he reached out to two, smaller factions closer to Sidefall to gain their allegiance, assuring if Sidefall were to turn on them, he'd be locked in with nowhere to go. |
| 38 | [[/folder]] |

| 43 | ->"''Sidefall is going to attack us! TODAY!''" |
| 44 | |
| 45 | A propagandist who spreads a misleading lie telling of Sidefall's plans to launch an attack on Pendaris. |
| 46 | ---- |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * AllThereInTheManual: [[https://youtu.be/WzwY-jXl83U?t=2864 A comment from Trinktop in chat in one of Ish's later videos]] explains his actions: Pendaris unknowingly kicked his group out from their territory on day 1, Trinktop wanted to blow up Pendaris in revenge, and attempted to trick Pendaris and the UPS into going to war to make his job easier. |
| 49 | * AmbiguousSituation: Ish's video leaves Trinktop's motives unclear, and in Inferno's video, Trinktop only admits that there was an elaborate plan and that it had failed. Trinktop would only admit to his motivations in the chat of a later video. |
| 50 | * TheExile: Banished from (or more specifically, chased out of) the plains for his attempt to spark a war within the island's factions, fleeing to Theria. |
| 51 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Is genuinely grateful to Theria for taking him in after his banishment, and fights in the Battle of Aculon as part of their forces]]. |
| 52 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Is responsible for nearly causing the war between Pendaris and UPS, and then their eventual alliance despite only appearing for a minute or two. |

| 59 | |
| 60 | The owner of a KFC in the plains. |
| 61 | ---- |
| 62 | * {{Expy}}: Of Colonel Sanders himself. |
| 63 | * FriendshipStrainingCompetition: When Chicken moves to the plains, he brings his business, Los Pollos Hermanos, with him, which slightly aggravates Penguin, since now he has competition to sell chicken. |
| 64 | * JokeCharacter: A fairly unimportant, minor character in the grand scheme of the plot...Who happens to run a chicken fast food chain. |
| 65 | [[/folder]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | !!!'''UPS (United Plains State)''' |
| 68 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 69 | * FunWithAcronyms: Their actual name, the United Plains State, shortens to the acronym UPS. |

| 74 | [[quoteright:434:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sidefall_7.png]] |
| 75 | ->"''I just wanna make sure nobody dies.''" |
| 76 | |
| 77 | The founding leader of UPS. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Horus; both formed their faction out of positive intent for their people. This realization helped them to find common ground and avoid a war. |
| 80 | * DeclarationOfProtection: Founded UPS with the intent of keeping anyone under their state's rule safe during the unpredictable, early days of the event. |
| 81 | * GoodIsNotNice: While the friendliest of the faction leaders during the event, he still sent a spy to place TNT underneath the Pendaris base, just in case negotiations fell through. |
| 82 | * NiceGuy: Genuinely formed his faction, not out of any want of power, but to look out for the other denizens of the plains, and when meeting Horus, he quickly made his intent clear that he wanted no part in active war and would much rather they stayed on friendly terms. |
| 83 | * OddFriendship: With Seth, a cult leader who gladly takes advantage of his admirers for self-gain from the jungle island. |
| 84 | * TragicMistake: Reached out to the snow island (specifically Turkey) to potentially partner with the plains, only for this to cause a chain reaction that would almost lead Pendaris to go to war against UPS. |

| 90 | ->"''This is awesome, man.''" |
| 91 | |
| 92 | The first person to discover the center island in the middle of the world. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * BitCharacter: Only notable as a result of their discovery of the center island. |
| 95 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Them discovering the center island gives way to the rest of the factions discovering it, eventually leading to the center island becoming a cultural hub and safe place for the various groups. |

| 114 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After the Aculon war, 20JP gives a final speech disbanding the Invisible Hand to go out into the world to spread capitalism before ascending to the heavens.]] |
| 115 | * CapitalismIsBad: A devout capitalist, and the faction leader who is taken the least seriously by the overall plot. |
| 116 | * DirtyCommunists: A key part of his motivation is his own desire to keep communists away from his faction at all costs. |
| 117 | * HearingVoices: And said voices are apparently where he learned his deep love of capitalism, becoming inspired to spread these beliefs to others. |
| 118 | [[/folder]] |
| 119 | |
| 120 | [[folder:Feebazz]] |
| 121 | !!Feebazz, the Archbishop |

| 143 | A follower of [=20JP=] and Feebazz and a member of The Invisible Hand who initially followed his leaders in their various adventures and misadventures before stumbling upon a set of ancient texts on his home island and using their writings to become the cult's seer. |
| 144 | |
| 145 | [[ADayInTheLimelight The main character]] of his own perspective, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGt66P2Sv7w here]]. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * FortuneTeller: He becomes a seer who tells of his cult members' future as a job [[spoiler:having read about a person ([=20JP=]) returning from death and seeing that getting fulfilled]]. |
| 148 | * {{Seers}}: He stumbled across a set of ancient books on the Plains island and used them to see the future. Among the mystical writings within those pages was a prophecy about a person coming back from the dead. [[spoiler:Inferno added [=20JP=]'s name to the blank, and said guy returned to life a day later.]] |
| 149 | [[/folder]] |
| 150 | |
| 151 | !!!'''The Tavern''' |
| 152 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 153 | * TheNeedForMead: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Just as advertised,]] The Tavern was a nice place to hang out and relax with people from other nations, drink [[FrothyMugsOfWater "beer" (which was actually just bottles of honey)]], and organize meetings between different factions. |
| 154 | * TeamSwitzerland: The Tavern was solely dedicated to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin running a bar]], choosing to not be involved directly in any wars between different nations, including [[spoiler: between [[TheEmpire Aculon]] and the [[TheAlliance Alliance of Democratic Nations]]]]. |
| 155 | * TruceZone: In addition to remaining neutral, they often mediated diplomacy between different factions (such as when the plains [[spoiler:almost]] broke out into war) while selling their beer to whoever was visiting, including during the [[spoiler:battle for Aculon]]. |

| 161 | ->"''Welcome to the Tavern. I hope you can enjoy a nice beer since it might be our last.''" |
| 162 | |
| 163 | The bartender of the tavern. |
| 164 | ---- |
| 165 | * TheBartender: Duh. |
| 166 | * TheCynic: Had a rather cynical outlook on how negotiations between the Pendaris and UPS will go. While proven wrong, [[ProperlyParanoid it's hard to blame him in the moment for how he was thinking considering the harsh grounds the two factions were on at the moment]]. |
| 167 | * DrinkingOnDuty: Shares a drink with Ish while on duty. Considering he believed his nation was about to go to war with itself, it's hard to blame him. |
| 168 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: In the wake of increasing tensions between Pendaris and the UPS, he says the above quote and then chugs a beer. |
| 169 | [[/folder]] |
| 170 | |
| 171 | [[folder:Snow]] |

| 179 | !Desert Island |
| 180 | |
| 181 | !!!'''Theria''' |
| 182 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 183 | * ArcVillain: For the Emirate and [=2E2G=]. |
| 184 | * MeaningfulName: Named after part of the Greek word for freedom (Eleftheria). |
| 185 | * TheRepublic: [[MeaningfulName Just like their name suggests]], the Therians primarily relied on elected leaders, in contrast to The Sultanate. |
| 186 | * SparedButNotForgiven: Seen as such in the eyes of the Emirate, who allow themselves to go back on momentary trade terms following Tikkie's death, but never forgive Theria for their actions and actively work against them the rest of the event. |
| 187 | [[/folder]] |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[folder:Saparata]] |
| 190 | !!Saparata, 1st Monarch of Theria |

| 192 | ->"''Hopefully we can establish some peaceful relations for now. I mean, we're in the middle of a desert, [[TemptingFate why fight? You know?]]''" |
| 193 | |
| 194 | The elected leader of Theria, who quickly finds himself at odds with the Sultan and his dictatorship. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | While he hasn't made a video from his own perspective, he has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnmzA9tov04 video]] where he reacts to Ish's video and gives his viewpoint and some details about the role he played. |
| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In EJK's perspective, Saparata refuses to properly punish a thief after they murdered a member of the Emirate, not believing their side of the story and only marginally lowering the required trade deal between the two factions. It took Ish getting involved to have the thief punished, and from there, Saparata acts as a thorn in the Emirate's side. |
| 199 | * AntiHero: Seen as a hero amongst the people of Theria for his belief in democratic election and free rights for his people. However, he also shows himself to be far less accepting or just in his actions toward the secondary factions of the desert, treating them as less important by downplaying their problems, and subjecting them to harsh trade deals. This isn't even the mention of his [[spoiler:hidden conspiracy with Davarit to murder the Sultan, which had it gone wrong, very well could have led to Theria's destruction]]. |
| 200 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Jumps off the Theria tower, falling to his death onto the city streets below.]] |
| 201 | * TheConspiracy: Secretly formed a plan to [[spoiler:assassinate the Sultan with their former guard, Davarit, in order to establish peace in the desert, which [[DarkSecret he refused to tell anyone else, lest Theria be immediately invaded by an angered Sultanate]]. To do so, Davarit would publicly defect, baiting out the Sultanate's guards, before sneaking into the Sultanate to assassinate the Sultan himself. Davarit's attack resulted in failure, however, staging it during the Sultan's visit to a heavily guarded wedding. However, the plan ultimately succeeded when [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Zombta, Davarit's twin brother and fellow guard, assassinated the Sultan himself to avenge his brother's death]], causing the Sultanate to collapse anyway.]] |
| 202 | * CorruptPolitician: Tries to have Tikkie pardoned for his crimes of stealing from and attacking the Emirate, not even wanting to bother punishing him. |
| 203 | * DarkSecret: Secretly formed a plan, without any input or knowledge from his citizens, to [[spoiler:kill the Sultan, [=STORMINGHELL=]. He would take this [[DrivenToSuicide to his grave]] in order to protect Theria from the Sultanate.]] |
| 204 | * DecoyProtagonist: Built up as a protagonistic force opposing the Sultan's rule. [[spoiler:Like the Sultan, he perishes before the halfway point.]] |
| 205 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: For the Emirate. |
| 206 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Commits suicide via throwing himself off of Theria Tower. In Ish's dramatization, he does so due to Davarit's death and the failure of his plot to assassinate the Sultan, hoping to [[HeroicSacrifice save his people from the Sultan's wrath for his involvement with Davarit's assassination attempt]]. In the actual events where Davarit survived, he committed suicide primarily because he had to go on vacation in real life and thought it would be funny to fall off a tower as his last act, although Saparata did believe that it greatly eased the Sultanate remnants' wrath towards Theria after the Sultan's death, as they mostly hated him rather than his nation]]. |
| 207 | * SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:As stated in DrivenToSuicide, he jumps off his city's tower to ensure his people do not suffer from the Sultan's wrath for nearly dying at Davarit's hands. Little was he aware, had he just waited, he'd have learned the Sultan had perished on his way back to his kingdom anyway as a result of his bodyguard's betrayal, leaving his suicide ultimately pointless, and his people without a leader.]] |

| 210 | [[folder:Jophiel]] |
| 211 | !!Jophiel_, the Successor |
| 212 | [[quoteright:413:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jophiel_4.png]] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | The next elected leader of Theria following Saparata's death. |
| 215 | ---- |
| 216 | * MustMakeAmends: Following [[spoiler:the Sultan's murder]], she openly expressed interest in trying to unite the remaining factions under a single, stronger society, not wanting the lingering animosity to lead to their own factions killing each other first. |
| 217 | * NiceGirl: Shows herself to be genuinely sweet toward EJK and the Emirate, not wanting to prolong their conflict. EJK still held on to his grudge against Theria, but it's the genuinely good thoughts and intentions that count. |
| 218 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tried to have Tikkie punished for his actions against the Emirate at the first town meeting, before Saparata had her drop it. Later on, after her election, she tried to make peace with the Emirate herself on behalf of Theria, refused to purposefully endanger her people in a war of any kind if it could be avoided, and formed the Alliance with Seth and the plains out of a want to bring their people together rather than continue fighting these constant conflicts. |
| 219 | * SuperiorSuccessor: While Saparata schemed behind his faction's back, albeit for good reason, Jophiel stays truly committed and honest with her people at all times, managing to stay in their good graces. |
| 220 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Truly genuine in her intentions with the desert and its people, lacking the double standards and bias of Saparata while he was in charge and the chaotic ControlFreak tendencies of the Sultan. |
| 221 | [[/folder]] |

| 223 | [[folder:Tikkie]] |
| 224 | !![=TikkieWillem=] |
| 225 | [[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thief_87.png]] |
| 226 | |
| 227 | A thief from Theria who is responsible for them making an enemy of the Emirate. |
| 228 | ---- |
| 229 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Personally executed by Ish for violating the rules of the game. What and how it happened is unknown, but it [[CruelAndUnusualDeath couldn't have been pretty]].]] |
| 230 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:On behalf of Ish, who personally dealt with him in an unknown manner.]] |
| 231 | * DeaderThanDead: Following Ish's intervention, [[spoiler:Tikkie is not only dead, but seemingly wiped from existence as a whole]]. |
| 232 | * {{Jerkass}}: Stole from the Emirate for little reason other than he could due to his superior armor and weapons. |
| 233 | * KarmaHoudini: In spite of his actions, Saparata makes the decision not to punish him, allowing him to get off scot-free for his murder of Leah. |
| 234 | ** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: That is until the Sultan got involved, who decided he'd have Tikkie executed for his crimes and had Theria had him over. Little was he aware, he'd have to deal with [[CruelAndUnusualDeath much worse]]. |
| 235 | * SmugSnake: Gladly takes zero responsibility for his theft and murder of Emirate players, boasting his innocence and how they "overreacted", before leaving with Theria believing he had gotten away with what he'd done. |
| 236 | * UnreliableNarrator: Downplayed the severity of his actions when reporting them to Theria, pointing to the Emirate as the true aggressors who overreacted to a simple trade. |
| 237 | [[/folder]] |
| 238 | |
| 239 | !!!'''The Sultanate''' |
| 240 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 241 | * DecapitatedArmy: [[spoiler:Fall aparts as a result of the death of [=STORMINGHELL=] at the hands of Zombta, which left them without their main leader. As a result, up to half of the population fled the state while the other half was forced to reorganize into [[TheRemnant militias]] dedicated to enacting vengeance on Zombta for his betrayal.]] |
| 242 | * TheDictatorship: Ruled directly by [=STORMINGHELL=] himself, with all orders given seemingly coming from him. |
| 243 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Anyone under the Sultanate was forbidden from eating pork. |
| 244 | * PraetorianGuard: Protected by the so-called "Elite Team," composed of the Amazon members from Season 1, which served to deliver justice from the Sultanate to anyone who wronged them, including [[spoiler: terrorists, mountaineers who encroached on their territory, and traitors]]. They were led by the twin guards Zombta and Davarit, who bodyguarded the Sultan himself. After, [[spoiler: the sultan's death, they remained in the Sultanate as the Sultanate militia, swearing vengeance on Zombta and the Alliance of Democratic nations, joining the [[FinalBattle Battle for Aculon]] on Aculon's side.]] |

| 250 | ->"''Yo, what up, Ish? [[IncomingHam The Sultan is BACK!]]''" |
| 251 | |
| 252 | The commanding dictator of the Sultanate. Loved by some for keeping order in the desert and protecting people from criminals, but hated by others for his authoritarianism and excessive willingness to crack down on perceived threats. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * AdaptationalHeroism: |
| 255 | ** In EGK's perspective, he's presented as a just and faithful ruler over his people and those aligned with them, looking out for their best interests and wishing to ensure the stabalization and future prospers of the desert as a whole. |
| 256 | ** In Winter's perspective, he's depicted as loyal to [=2E2G=], with his [[spoiler:death being treated as a tragedy]]. |
| 257 | * AssassinationAttempt: [[spoiler:Targeted for assassination by his bodyguard, Davarit, and the leader of Theria, Saparata, which initially [[AssassinOutclassin fails]]. But Zombta, [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal also frustrated with the Sultan]], assassinates him in davarit's stead]]. |
| 258 | * AssassinOutclassin: Early on, sends out a group of his elite guard to deal with an isolated community in the desert who planned to assassinate him...Supposedly. |
| 259 | ** [[spoiler:Manages to survive both of Davarit's attempted assassinations on him. [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty He isn't so lucky when Zombta tries]].]] |
| 260 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Hacked to death with an axe by Zombta on the travel back to his empire.]] |
| 261 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: While hyped up as a major threat throughout much of the early portion of the event, he's [[spoiler:murdered a little under halfway through]]. |
| 262 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Early on, Ryan made a joke about wanting to kill a leader, not intending to actually do so. Seeing this as a potential threat, the Sultan went on to send out his elite guards to kill him and anyone else they found under the guise of eliminating an assassin. |
| 263 | * MightMakesRight: {{Invoked}} directly by the man; if anyone dares to defy him or his rule, he'll gladly take what he wants by force. |
| 264 | * OldFriend: One of Ish, who he greets fondly while Ish visits the Sultanate for the first time. |
| 265 | * PetTheDog: |
| 266 | ** Listened to the Emirate's struggles and had the thief from Theria personally handed over for the sake of being executed for his murder of the Emirate member, Leah. |
| 267 | ** Believed the Emirate when they reported one of his men as a thief in spite of not needing to; he chose to prioritize good ties between the factions and then put preference on his own people. |

| 272 | [[quoteright:896:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twins_08.png]] |
| 273 | |
| 274 | Twin brothers who serve as the Sultan's personal bodyguards. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In EJK's perspective, which instead paints them as cold-hearted traitors looking to capitalize off of the Sultan's death for personal gain. |
| 277 | * AssassinationAttempt: Davarit makes two attempts of them on [[spoiler:the Sultan]]. |
| 278 | ** [[spoiler:He first tries to bait out his men on a manhunt to Theria so he can kill the Sultan while he's alone, which is foiled when the leader leaves with his men to find Davarit and kill him himself.]] |
| 279 | ** [[spoiler:The second is during a heavily guarded wedding the Sultan is attending, which ultimately leads to Davarit's demise.]] |
| 280 | * BodyguardBetrayal: |
| 281 | ** Davarit, frustrated by the Sultan's authoritarianism, [[spoiler:becomes part of a conspiracy with the leader of Theria, Saparata, to murder the Sultan and take over the Sultanate.]] |
| 282 | ** Zombta started to become impatient with the Sultan's rule after he's forced to [[spoiler:hunt down his twin brother, Davarit]]. This comes to a head when, [[spoiler:during a [[AssassinOutclassin failed assassination attempt]], Davarit is killed, causing Zombta to [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal kill the sultan himself]] while escorting him back home to the Sultanate.]] |
| 283 | * TheBrute: Quiet and intimidating, they're Sultan's top enforcers in making people do whatever he wants. |
| 284 | * CharacterDeath: |
| 285 | ** In Ish's dramatization, [[spoiler:Davarit is murdered by Sultan's elite guard after a failed assassination attempt, while Zombta is killed during the raid on the Aculon Empire]]. In other retellings, [[spoiler:they survive the Aculon war and are instead killed by Sultanate remnants afterwards]]. |
| 286 | * DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Leaves the Sultanate to embark on an [[AssasinationAttempt assassination plot]] against the Sultan [=STORMINGHELL=] due to disliking his authoritarian policies, such as when he forced a group of mountaineers nearby from their territory, or when his forces pursued possible terrorists to Theria in violation of their territorial integrity.]] |
| 287 | * EliteMooks: The strongest, most decked-out members of Sultan's guard. |
| 288 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:Witnessing Davarit's death at the hands of the Sultan and his men is enough to make Zombta finish the job himself, murdering [=STORMINGHELL=] and bringing an end to the Sultanate.]] |
| 289 | * NobleTopEnforcer: While brutal in their tactics and relentless in a fight, the reason they go on to [[spoiler:oppose the Sultan, in spite of their high status in his ranks, is because of his mistreatment of his people]]. |
| 290 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Davarit survives the initial assassination attempt on the Sultan's life in EJK's perspective. Zombta also survives the raid on Aculon Tower.]] |
| 291 | ** DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Davarit and Zombta are instead killing following the Aculon War, killed by the surviving members of the Emirate and Sultanate on the outskirts of the conflict.]] |

| 304 | * TheDragon: Sultan's most trusted comrade, Crow followed his orders to a fault without question. |
| 305 | * NumberTwo: Served as the Sultan's representative when communicating outside of the Sultanate, specifically in regard to communications with the Emirate. |
| 306 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:While ultimately abandoning his people, he nonetheless warns them in advance and gives them direction to potential allies and warns them to remove the Sultanate flag from their sheilds to avoid being attacked.]] |
| 307 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Rather than take on the position as the new head of the Sultanate, realizing he'd be in danger of potential attacks from Theria, he instead disbands the faction entirely and leaves.]] |
| 308 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Never seen getting killed during the Aculon War, but he's also not seen being pardoned or among the surviving masses, leaving his fate unclear but likely not good considering he had been aligned with the losing side.]] |
| 309 | ** [[spoiler:This is only reinforced by the ending of EJK's perspective, where he confirms all of his allies are dead. While he wasn't particularly close to Crow, like King, they were aligned, and since King's death is brought up as an example of such, things aren't looking too good for Crow either.]] |

| 320 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Lives out the rest of his days selling chicken to anybody who wants it, happy to no longer be under the thumb of dictators.]] |

| 322 | ** [[spoiler:Offers up half-price on all his food for any soldiers going into the Aculon War out of respect for Turkey, who once visited Los Pollos Hermanos after they had moved out to the plains.]] |
| 323 | * LetsMeetTheMeat: The owner of a fried chicken restaurant... who is, himself, a sapient humanoid chicken. |
| 324 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Due to running out of food to sell as a result of the Sultan conscripting the farmers to help with building the Holy City, [[spoiler:he and the other farmers decide to move elsewhere to escape from their excessive work demands, first going to Theria before Saparata tells them to leave Desert for safety]]. |
| 325 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:Gets to open up Los Pollos Hermanos for a second time on the plains island, thankful to be free of the Sultan's dictatorship.]] |
| 326 | * RestaurantOwningEpisode: Gets an entire story arc dedicated to him and the farmers being forced to work on the Sultan's monument instead of looking after their restaurant, causing it to struggle and them to lose patience with his politics. This would lead to them soon [[spoiler:abandoning the Sultanate]]. |

| 363 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 364 | * AntiVillain: While not direct antagonists like the Sultanate or the Aculon Empire, they still nonetheless allied with them. Unlike them, however, their actions were more so out of hatred for a specific enemy rather than any interest in having any sort of dictatorship, and often presented themselves as considerably more noble than many of the other more villainous factions. |
| 365 | * ArchEnemy: Theria, specifically Saparata, and later Jophiel once she takes the throne. |
| 366 | * AscendedExtra: Went from little more than a footnote to the ''main'' characters of EJK's perspective. |
| 367 | * NobleDemon: Their actions were committed out of a genuine want for justice instead of any sort of malice. |

| 386 | * ADayInTheLimelight: His perspective, showing the Emirate's conflict with Theria and his devotion to getting justice for his people. |
| 387 | * DeadpanSnarker: Fairly sarcastic and snarky toward many of the other faction heads, both in and out of the desert. He even lets Ish have it at a few points. |
| 388 | * DirtyCoward: Begins fleeing the Aculon War without his army...Only to [[{{Defied}} go back]], determined to save them and slay their enemies. |
| 389 | * DisapprovingLook: Is left...Less than impressed by Aculon's defenses, comparing it to a death trap. |
| 390 | * DownerEnding: [[spoiler:He may have gotten a small amount of revenge, but Theria still lives on and his people died in a war they wanted no part in. He ultimately gained nothing from the conflict, and feels outcasted in a now peaceful world, deciding to live out the remainder of his days in solitude remembering those he lost.]] |

| 400 | * UngratefulBastard: Despite Jophiel's generosity towards the Emirate, EJK's resentment of Theria was too strong, so he planned to exploit her generosity in an "ethically questionable" plan to kidnap her to have Theria declare war on them. Although he notes that [[NothingPersonal they didn't have any problems with her in particular]]. |
| 401 | * UnreliableNarrator: A self-admitted example; he's very open about how his perspective of the event is heavily biased in favor of himself and his allies. |
| 402 | * VillainProtagonist: {{Downplayed}}; while he ultimately played for the wrong side in the end, he constantly shown himself to be a genuine, loyal man who holds his morals close to his chest. |

| 536 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 537 | * HungryJungle: Due to the dense foliage, travel throughout the island proved incredibly difficult, both as a result of the constant mob spawns on the forest floor and the darkness making it hard to see far into the forest. The result was that the Jungle became a hotspot for banditry and disputes between different factions, further heightening the danger, while the difficult travel made communication near impossible due to the 100-block limit on in-game communication, leading to political fragmentation and [[PoorCommunicationKills diplomatic failure]]. |
| 538 | * OutOfFocus: {{Downplayed}}, but of the four islands, they're the most isolated in terms of plotlines, mostly sticking to themselves and either being left out of or straight up not being acknowledged in many of the greater conflicts in the server. |
| 539 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Communicating in the Jungle in any large capacity proved incredibly difficult as a result of the dangers of navigating the forest. This led to many civil disputes, the rise of banditry, and a lack of diplomatic channels between civilizations, which came to a head when the Sea People embarked on an anti-banditry campaign that unknowingly threatened the allies of [=SethHyphen=], [[spoiler:leading to the two factions being at each other's throats, before eventually taking different sides in the Aculon War]]. |
| 540 | %%* WorldOfChaos: Unlike the more united islands, the jungle was practically plunged into complete chaos from day #1. Well over two dozen smaller factions formed initially instead of any larger ones, and most of the early parts of the event were spent with them massacring each other for the limited food and resources they had. |

| 561 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: {{Invoked}}; his perspective doesn't take the canon timeline and events of the experiment seriously at all, and instead warps the whole thing into a constant comedy of errors completely separated from anything that happened... Or maybe what he's showing ''is'' what actually happened and we're just seeing the idealized version. Either way, it very purposefully doesn't line up very well with the rest of what we know or are presented. |

| 622 | * ArchEnemy: Seth, who in Yeet's eyes, is stopping him and his people from wiping out the scoundrels and filth of the jungle who have caused its reputation as a lawless wasteland. |

| 646 | ---- |
| 647 | * BottleEpisode: His perspective mostly takes place within his faction's territory and the Jungle island, with little mention of other world events, other than attending a talent show and the war against Aculon. |
| 648 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He and his faction received no notice in the original video, due to the jungle generally being chaotic and the factions there mostly minding their own business. In Ciarán's video, he and his team all get time to shine. |
| 649 | * DueToTheDead: One of his fellow leaders, [=TheLovingJevil=] who also served as the team's diplomat, was blown up by a Creeper on the very first day. He and another member of his faction built two monuments to honor his short life, Ciarán's being an angel statue, and the other member a church that was used for Jevil's funeral. |
| 650 | * LesserOfTwoEvils: He and his faction were put in a dilemma upon hearing that the Sea People sided with the Aculon Empire upon learning the Seth Citadel was allegedly housing [=Wazz0ck=] and were intending to attack Aculon. [=SethHyphen=]'s nation was deemed to be just as bad as Aculon and their allies, and the Legion was against tyrants. To decide which nation was worse, Ciarán kidnapped a tarot reader, Pqche, from Aculon and fiercely interrogated her about the empire, learning they were going to war with the world, especially against the Bastion of Peace. With that, Pixelz decided that Aculon's values were "too distant" from the Legion's and decided to fight the empire, which ended up being the right choice, as the Seth Citadel was also fighting against Aculon and its overly-controlling rule (not that Pixelz knew it). |
| 651 | * MisplacedRetribution: He blames Yorkshire for intentionally using their sand trap to assassinate [=DrPickle_=] and a few others on Day 7, believing they tried to kill Pickle (who survived by executing a water bucket clutch) for no reason. From [=SethHyphen=]'s perspective, however, a random player accidentally triggered the trap as those people, Pickle included, discovered said trap. |
| 652 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: Using the information from his interrogation with tarot reader Pqche, Ciarán and his faction joined the other nations fighting against Aculon, but only to free the world from tyranny as Elanuelo and his empire's values were "too distant" from his faction's. |
| 653 | * PityTheKidnapper: After kidnapping and interrogating Pqche, he tried to get her to stay on the Dead Island in a tent so that she wouldn't blab about him. Pqche annoys him to near-insanity by singing "99 Bottles of Beer" for over ''twenty'' minutes, causing him to run the heck away. |
| 654 | * RousingSpeech: Before the Battle of Aculon, he verbally rallies his team to fight against "the forces of tyranny" and triumph no matter the cost. Only three members of his team heard it. |
| 655 | * ThisMeansWar: He was notified of [=TheLovingJevil=]'s death by a Creeper blowing him up, along with some other people in the Jungle dying to more Creepers, and he himself nearly got blown up by one. Angered by this turn of events, he tells his team they need to declare war on the Creepers. Owing to Ish removing Creepers later into the event, however, the Legion doesn't get to fight any. |

| 680 | * ZeroApprovalGambit: After the peace talks between [=SethHyphen=] and yeetspeak broke down, [[spoiler:he decided to use his sand trap to focus their grievances on him first so as to delay the inevitable war within the jungle, which he only revealed to Ish. Ultimately, after evading capture for a while, he willingly turns himself in and is executed after giving a FinalSpeech.

| 741 | * ControlFreak: Becomes increasingly paranoid and unpredictable at Turkey's growing reputation among the people of the Aculon Empire, fearing he could usurp his power, ultimately leading to him [[spoiler:having Turkey executed]]. |
| 742 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:While Elanuelo was fighting from the top of the Aculon Tower, the Iron Torch, a player called Dbest_ destroyed a block from underneath Elanuelo's feet, causing him to fall straight to the bottom and land in lava.]] |
| 743 | * {{Expy}}: Became one of Solev from the previous civilization event, directly ruling over a large, cohesive, dictatorial snow faction, before [[spoiler:ultimately being overthrown by an angry international community]]. |
| 744 | * FatalFlaw: |
| 745 | ** [[TheParanoiac Paranoia]]. Every major mistake he makes in his leadership comes as a result of thinking others are secretly plotting against him, eventually causing people to ''[[SelfFulfillingProphecy actually]]'' plot against him in response to his excessive actions and leading to his own empire crumbling. |
| 746 | ** [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]]. Turkey's newfound popularity among his people angered him to no end, seeing it as betrayal. [[spoiler:It culminates with him killing Turkey.]] |
| 747 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The final threat for the civilizations at large during the Aculon War.]] |
| 748 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: Fearing that others, including his own people, were plotting behind his back, he decides to rule over his empire with iron-fisted, controlling ways, including sending spies to every other island to search for any defectors. [[spoiler:He even has Turkey brutally executed, falsely believing Turkey was plotting to usurp his rule. As a result, everyone who was friends with Turkey, including the nations forming the Bastion of Peace, actually plotted to kill Elanuelo and tear down his empire to avenge this injustice.]] |
| 749 | * ShadowDictator: Rules over all of the Aculon Empire, but makes an active effort to keep their presence hidden, instead delegating their duties out to their most loyal followers. He'd make his first active appearance around 1/3rd of the way into the event. |
| 750 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: {{Downplayed}}, then ultimately {{Subverted}}; he states his belief that order is what's best for his people, but as his actions go on to show, especially in regards to the treatment of his underlings and citizens, he shows himself to be little else than a ControlFreak. |

| 754 | !![=AFreakinTurkey=], Man of the People |
| 755 | [[quoteright:488:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/turkey_1.png]] |
| 756 | ->"''Glory to Aculon!''" |
| 757 | |
| 758 | A duke of the Aculon Empire who served as acting emperor for the first six days of the experiment. Beloved by the people for his competent leadership. |
| 759 | ---- |
| 760 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Assassinated by Elanuelo. In Ish's dramatization, he was dropped into a lava pit underneath Elanuelo's throne on Day 10, while in other retellings, he was killed by Elanuelo in combat on Day 8.]] |
| 761 | * {{Cincinnatus}}: Appointed the acting emperor by Ender due to Elanuelo being unable to rule in person, and willingly ceded power to Elanuelo once he was able to. He eventually came to regret this decision, not because of a desire for power, but due to concerns over how Elanuelo was running the empire. |
| 762 | * TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:The closest thing the event had to a recurring protagonist, and he's killed by Elanuelo on the beginning of the 10th day, sparking a revolution against the dictator for his actions and leading into the final conflict.]] |
| 763 | * InspirationalMartyr: [[spoiler:After his death, he quickly became a symbol of [[TheAlliance the Alliance of Democratic Nations]], inspiring them during the battle for Aculon, and having a statue built in his name afterwards.]] |
| 764 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Elanuelo's purge of Aculon officials was caused by him seeing a deleted message in a Discord server's mod logs. Since this was metagaming and thus against the rules, Ish had the option of reviving the people who were killed in ThePurge; however, since Turkey's death was too impactful to the story, he instead decided to leave Turkey dead while reviving other killed Aculon officials as a compromise]]. |
| 765 | * LovedByAll: By the end of day 9, just about every faction adored Turkey, seeing him as the rebel who saved refugees and stood up against Elanuelo's tyrannical rule. While he'd be the first to admit this wasn't technically true, he was adored all the same. |
| 766 | * NiceGuy: While occasionally strict as a high-ranking official within the empire, he was well respected and liked amongst the snow island's people for his genuine kindness, even eventually siding with Aculon's people over his leader once he began to go too far. |
| 767 | * NumberTwo: Being the acting emperor of Aculon before Elanuelo could appear in public, he, by necessity, was treated as second only to the Emperor himself. Thus, he organized events, gathered resources, and punished dissidents in lieu of Elanuelo's input, and became popular for his down-to-earth and amicable image. However, this led Elanuelo to distrust Turkey over his growing support and willingness to aid his people at the expense of Aculon, [[spoiler:leading to him executing Turkey when he proposed making Aculon more democratic]]. |
| 768 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Was very willing to listen and care for the people of Aculon, officiating marriages, communicating on behalf of the Emperor on matters of diplomacy with other nations, and helping [[spoiler:those against Elanuelo's reign to escape the island]]. He even decided to [[spoiler:preach for democracy in Aculon after visiting the other islands and learning how prosperous they were despite being democratic]]. However, [[spoiler:his actions caused the Emperor to distrust him, fearing [[TheUsurper he would use his support to overthrow him]], causing Turkey to be executed during one visit with the Emperor]]. |
| 769 | * RememberTheDead: [[spoiler:Following the fall of the Aculon Empire, a statue of Turkey is erected so that he may always be remembered.]] |
| 770 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Easily among the kindest, most diplomatic players on the entire server, [[spoiler:and he's murdered for it, seen as a traitor by Elanuelo for daring to consider the perspectives of the other islands]]. |
| 771 | * TookALevelInKindness: Started off as a strict enforcer for Elanuelo's rule, including once holding a citizen at bowpoint, but came to regret his actions and started working towards a fairer government for all. |
| 772 | * UndyingLoyalty: Was truly and genuinely aligned with Elanuelo, believing him to be a good leader and a good friend; not ''once'' did he ever consider betraying him. [[spoiler:Too bad Elanuelo believed otherwise.]] |
| 773 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: As Ender put it in his retelling, "Turkey is the single most beloved person in all of Aculon." This reputation remained even after he stepped down from leadership, and his reputation was the Bastion of Peace's last shot at convincing Elanuelo to cease his tyranny. [[spoiler:His death causes people who didn't necessarily have problems with Aculon before to turn on Elanuelo and leave Aculon in droves.]] |
| 774 | * WalkingTheEarth: Spent much of the later portion of the event traveling the world, visiting each of the different factions and taking in their cultures. |

| 785 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Willingly ceded the title of acting emperor to Turkey due to him being busy with disputes and diplomatic issues, and later assisted him with getting refugees out of Aculon due to their discontent with Elanuelo's rule and the likelihood that they'd be killed for expressing that discontent. |

| 794 | The leader of the Aculon knights, who served as Turkey and later Elanuelo's lead enforcer. |
| 795 | ---- |
| 796 | * ActionGirl: Among the most feared players on the server, and one of the few known female players. |
| 797 | * TheBrute: Serves as Aculon's muscle, intimidating those under their rule to keep them in line. |
| 798 | * TheDragon: Eventually becomes this to Elanuelo, becoming the closest thing he had to a trusted ally. |
| 799 | * TheDreaded: ''No one'' wants her as an enemy. She was Elanuelo's commander and, by extension, his second in command, making her someone none would want to cross politically. Beyond that, however, she was a spymaster that everyone in Aculon's resistance feared and was known as one of, if not ''the'', strongest warriors in the world. A consistent fact seen in all retellings was that she not only survived the war but survived targeted attacks against her during the Battle of Aculon against ''multiple'' players at once, something incredibly difficult to accomplish even for veteran players in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. As [=KaNukei=] put it, she and her knights were a powerful enough force that specific strategies had to be undertaken to keep them away from Elanuelo for the plan to assassinate him to work. |
| 800 | * KickTheDog: According to [=KaNukei=]'s retelling, after [=PresidentSteve=] died, he left his diamond armor to his widowed wife [=iPixel=]. [=TooDrew=] immediately bullied [=iPixel=] into handing over the armor under the justification that other officials of Aculon needed the armor more, an action that several more reasonable Aculon officials considered to be the last straw regarding Elanuelo's tyranny. |
| 801 | * KillerRabbit: Looks fairly unassuming, even friendly, at first glance, but she has some of the best gear possible on the server and is more than willing to get her hands dirty. |
| 802 | * OneManArmy: The closest the server could have to one. Even among the knights, who were chosen because of their ability to efficiently overcome other players, she typically got the spotlight as being someone who was more or less unstoppable. It showed in the war, where she could engage several players at once with minimal assistance. |
| 803 | * TheQuietOne: Rarely speaks a word, preferring to let her actions speak for her. |
| 804 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: [[spoiler:Spared and pardoned for her actions taken up to and during the war following its end.]] |
| 805 | * WorldsBestWarrior: Considered one of the best [=PVPers=] on the server, along with the Sultan's twin guards Davarit and Zombta. |

[[spoiler:and all of them went into that battle without him, owing to the captain having a bad case of falling while trying to reinforce the castle's defenses.]] |
| 883 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:The end of his perspective sees him blaming himself for failing the empire he strove to protect, his cohort whom he worked together with, and Turkey whom he admired, as his group and the remaining Aculon citizens all went to war to defend the ultimately doomed empire without him.]] |

| 932 | An alliance born between the plains, Theria, the Seth Citadel, and defectors from Aculon to unite against the Aculon Empire. It began when the Seth Citadel and the plains welcomed in Aculon refugees fleeing from Elanuelo, eventually growing into a massive union with enough military power to take on the empire. |

| 935 | * GondorCallsForAid: After Elanuelo enacted his purge, the people who defected from Aculon beseeched the other nations to help them end Elanuelo's tyranny and get justice for Turkey's death. |
| 936 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: After the death of Elanuelo, The Alliance continued to attack the remaining allies of the Aculon Empire despite most of them surrendering in the wake of Elanuelo's defeat, much like how Elanuelo himself purged Turkey and his supporters despite Turkey not wanting to oppose him. This included killing people such as Shrimpatine who had no major role in the events leading up to the war. [[LampshadedTrope As Ish himself notes]]: "It was almost as if they had ''become'' their enemy." Fortunately, despite the massacre of surrendered combatants, the Alliance decided to stop the wanton violence and spared those that remained, officially pardoning them at the formation of the United Nations. |
