History Characters / NewLifeSMP

* CompanyCrossReferences: Scar's pizza-stylized umbrella is designed and named after Pizza the llama from the [[WebVideo/LifeSMP 3rd Life SMP]].

* LuredIntoATrap: How he loses his second life.
* MythologyGag: Due to the randomised nature of this series, it's entirely unintentional, but he's ended up as a Bad Guy not long after ''[[WebVideo/LifeSMP Limited Life]]'', where he was part of the Bad Boys faction.
** And in keeping with the unintentional CallBack, he also loses this life and origin fallling from a high place. Bonus points for also being an easily preventable death that he could've survived due to Martyn's safety net at the bottom of the shaft.

# In his third life, he held the Sculk origin. He detonated the Ancient City as an act of RedemptionEqualsDeath after killing Lightmancer Scott.
# In his fourth life, he is a Human again, having managed to miraculously survive the detonation on half a heart using a Totem of Undying.

* AbandonedWarehouse: He moves away from his old campsite and settles in an abandoned factory as a Copper Golem.

* EyeColourChange: In his third life, Sparrow's eyes go from dark brown to a deep, Sculk-ish blue.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: PlayedForDrama. Sparrow starts out the series believing that ''everyone'' has latent hybrid genes, waiting to be activated, and admits that he wants to learn how to activate his own as a part of himself he didn't know existed before. This goes to the point he's willing to [[MadScientist build a complex machine]] to try and physically ''[[LegoGenetics splice]]'' in compatible non-human genes with himself. Of course, once he gets to that point, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor being a "hybrid" is nowhere near what it's all cracked up to be]], and it takes until the finale in Episode 12 to admit that he has never been one, his "origins" being merely acts of expert engineering and a parasitic infection, respectively… and that HumansAreSpecial too and to BeYourself.

* MagicPants: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in Owen's 7th episode; after dying as a Copper Golem automaton and returning as an unknown Sculk-based hybrid, Sparrow expresses surprise that he comes back as a normal life-form in spite of there being no organic matter in the automaton storage, and is thankful that he comes back with clothes or "that would have been… awkward".
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Every time Sparrow shifts between origins, his personality seems to change to fit the origin as well -- as a Copper Golem, he prizes efficiency and shuns human attachment; as a Sculk, he's keen on spreading the darkness to the point of ''murdering'' anyone who dares to "disrespect" or oppose it. Scott speculates that these changes may be related to how the origin shifts may be related to Sparrow artificially changing origin rather than dying of natural causes like anyone else on the server, since no one else has experienced these personality changes on a such drastic level; it's suggested this may be true to some extent in Owen's finale.

* MeaningfulName: It's likely unintentional, but it sure is interesting that Mr. Goodtimes ends up helping a fellow pilot out in Owen's finale, allowing Sparrow to fix up his plane to leave New Life successfully and safely.

* ShoutOut: Whatever Joey's doing in his second life (or further?) isn't confirmed yet, but he's definitely roleplaying as Toad from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', and calling bees "Koopa" and Shelby "Princess Peach".

* MythologyGag: Scott having SwapTeleportation abilities which has been used to cause chaos and death, accidental or otherwise? [[WebVideo/AfterlifeSMP It's not the first time]], to say the least.

* MythologyGag: This certainly isn't [[WebVideo/DreamSMP the first server]] where Callum is a DimensionalTraveler.

* EasilyForgiven: Scott mostly just brushes off Sparrow murdering him as a Sculk and rushes back down to the Ancient City to make sure he's okay, noticing he's [[BrainwashedAndCrazy not acting like himself]].

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Every time Sparrow shifts between origins, his personality seems to change to fit the origin as well -- as a Copper Golem, he prizes efficiency and shuns human attachment; as a Sculk, he's keen on spreading the darkness to the point of ''murdering'' anyone who dares to "disrespect" or oppose it.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: At the end of Episode 11, Sparrow finally snaps out of his hybrid fascination when the Sculk hybrid side takes over him to the point of murdering his closest friend over a perceived slight. He returns to the Ancient City afterward, writing a final note and [[RedemptionEqualsDeath rigging the entire place to blow]]. The final shots of the episode show that the Sculk patches on the surface world have been turned to stone.

-->'''Stacy:''' We have all the entertainment! I can look at the window, I can be serenaded by Comment [the Copper Golem]-\\

'''Stacy:''' Very good. Ike [the chicken] is clapping- ''(starts laughing)'' I'm not going crazy, guys, what are you talking about? Is this because of my axolotl pool floatie? I think it looks nice! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm totally not going crazy in the Nether]]. What are you talking about?

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In his 1st episode, while Sparrow tries and fails to make a conveyor belt, he asks the viewers for help with modded automation. Justified as the episodes are framed as in-universe research video logs.
-->'''Sparrow:''' Maybe if somebody finds this video log, I dunno, maybe somewhere where there're like, publicly distributed, and they can contact me in the future about how to do this better, they should do that.

# In his fifth life, he holds an unknown origin.

A pilot and researcher who has traveled for months to study hybrids. He crashed his plane in the lands of the New Life SMP, and is stuck there for the months-long duration of the series.

# In his second life, he held the Guardian origin. He mentioned on [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BelovedFrozenSnakeYouWHY-YrXkl0NyDxkDjH5j one of his streams]] that he suffocated to death when he relogged after he is unable to save himself.
