'''CONSTRUCTION: (Lets Play) One Life'''

-> ''"Hey guys, and welcome to One Life, an SMP modded survival server that we are all on."''
--> -'''Yammy,''' [[https://youtu.be/1AlMpK5zTnY?list=PLs-Bw-NlmM7hwWTyCxpCb4mdxbE1L9e2t in the series' introduction.]]

''One Life'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''-based survival series set to the tune of a [[Main/GameMod modded server]]. The series features [[Main/EnsembleCast 12 Youtube gaming personalities]] (both well known and less well known, in some cases) at any given time, working together ([[Main/WithFriendsLikeThese or not]]) in the world provided to them, with the eventual (and admittedly distant) end goal of defeating the [[Main/FinalBoss Ender Dragon]]. However, this is no simple walk in the woods. The series starts out with UHC rules[[note]]Ultra Hardcore[[/note]], so if one of our heroes dies, [[Main/KilledOffForReal that's it, they're done]], and [[Main/RevolvingDoorCasting another player of their choosing]] [[Main/PassingTheTorch takes their place on the server]], ensuring the numbers remain at an even 12 at all times.

[[Main/ButWaitTheresMore But it gets better]]. Several weeks into the game, a couple of twists are introduced. Firstly, a mod known as [[Main/BadMoonRising Blood Moon]] brings about nights that players cannot sleep through, with countless more monsters spawning, forcing a further push on the idea of survival and house defenses. Secondly, a [[Main/ManipulativeBastard mystery]] [[Main/TheOmniscient man]], though [[Main/TheUnseen only seen through the messages he leaves]], begins [[Main/TheChessmaster setting tasks for individual players]] that involve sabotaging their team-mates, [[Main/DivideAndConquer likely to turn them against each other]]. If the players complete their tasks without being caught, great rewards come their way. But if they refuse to cooperate with their given task... well, you can imagine the [[Main/NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished kinds of punishments]] [[Main/RewardedAsATraitorDeserves they might get]].

A list of all players (both past and present), as well as of all others involved, can be found on the character sheet [here].

The series is [[Main/SimultaneousArcs split between the perspectives of it's various players]] (links available on the character sheet), so it can be hard to follow sometimes. Luckily, after a while of viewing, certain events should become easier to keep track of.

----
!!Tropes featured in this work include:

* ActionGirl: In the original ensemble of 12, in a series where everyone has at least decent ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' experience, the women outnumbered the men by a margin of 8[[note]]Yammy, Netty, Kim, Victoria/Vicki, Shelby/Shubble, Vixella/Sasha, Britt & Lauren[[/note]] against 4[[note]]Scott, Dylan, Caff & Kyle[[/note]]. You do the math on how prevalent this trope is.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Tasks set by Mysterious Man often involve attacking or vandalizing another player's property. Examples include [[spoiler:Kim setting fire to Scott's house, Scott smashing all of her house's windows in retaliation, and Lauren and Dylan flooding every house in the village (including Lauren's)]].
* BadMoonRising: The Blood Moon, a rare event that has a small chance of happening each night, during which the moon turns [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blood red]]. Whilst a Blood Moon is in effect, mobs are extra aggressive, deal extra damage, and spawn in far greater numbers than normal (including some mobs not native to the Overworld, such as Blazes), and players cannot sleep, meaning they have to brave the night whether they want to or not.
* BandOfBrothers: The players to an extent, as quite a few of them have played together before and as such tend to, outside of Mysterious Man's tasks, trust each other to stand by their side and come to their aid when needed.
* BigNo: Kim's understandable reaction to [[spoiler:Caff's death, given that she was coming to his aid at the time]].
* DivideAndConquer: This would seem to be Mysterious Man's goal, if the nature of the most of the tasks he sets are any indication.
* TheChessmaster: Mysterious Man, as he uses both threats and rewards to convince players to secret undertake actions that will have a negative effect on others. What he gets out of this is so far unknown.
* DesecratingTheDead: What Caff apparently does [[spoiler:upon finding that Shelby has [[GraveRobbing put Netty's head above his door]], as he chooses to wear it]].
* EnsembleCast: The 12 player cast, whilst rotating, is generally made up of Youtube gaming personalities of varying levels of popularity.
* FinalBoss: The Ender Dragon, with the final goal of the entire series being [[FinalBattle to defeat it]].
* TheFunInFuneral: Since it's not actually a real-life funeral, player death funerals have a tendency to either be taken not at all seriously or be made a little over the top. Highlights include players throwing random useless objects from their inventories onto the deceased's grave as 'gifts', and hammy and entirely daft eulogy speeches.
* GraveRobbing: As part of a task given by Mysterious Man, Shelby [[spoiler:steals the symbolic head from Netty's grave and places it above Caff's front door. Caff's response? [[DesecratingTheDead He decides to wear it]]]].
* KilledOffForReal: The fate of any player unfortunate enough to die, due to the nature of the Ultra Hardcore (UHC) rules. So far, this has been proven by [[spoiler:Netty, Vicki and Caff]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Mysterious Man, who sets tasks for the various players that involve them screwing over each other in return for rewards and at the threat of punishment should they disobey.
* ManMadeHouseFlood: As part of one of Mysterious Man's tasks, [[spoiler:Vixella/Sasha, with Dylan's help, flooded every inhabited house in the village with copious amounts of water (including her own house to avoid suspicion)]].
* ManOnFire: Kim and Caff (among others, though they were the most notable) were subject to this repeatedly during one of their trips to the Nether, owing to them raiding a fortress full of Blazes and Wither Skeletons with flaming bows.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: If players choose to take the moral high road and opt not to complete Mysterious Man's tasks, it is implied that he will inflict some kind of sanction or punishment upon that makes completing the task the obviously better choice.
* NoodleIncident: There's hints that there may have been an incident off-camera in which Shubble was unjustly killed (outside of the rules of the series) or almost killed when the server admin accidentally spawned a Wither. By the time she mentions this, any possible death seems to have been undone.
* TheOmniscient: Mysterious Man, it would seen. He can apparently move around, leave messages and place items whilst remaining entirely unseen, teleport players across space, see everything going on at all times, and pretty much anything else a server admin would be capable of.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: One of Mysterious Man's main ways of convincing the players to complete his tasks, as it's implied that facing his wrath would be far worse than the consequences of the task. Though the actual outcome of someone refusing has yet to be seen (as no-one's been brave enough yet), that may be for the best.
* PassingTheTorch: Whenever a player [[KilledOffForReal dies]], their position on the server is taken up by another personality of their choice. Early examples of this include [[spoiler:Salem replacing Netty after she died on [[SpikesOfDoom punji sticks]], Cheri replacing Vicki after she drowned, and ____ replacing Caff after he died to Wither Skeletons in the Nether]].
* RevolvingDoorCasting: As a result of [[KilledOffForReal permanent deaths]], a new player is voted in whenever someone dies in order to keep up the numbers (12 players total), leading to this trope being in effect as long as deaths keep occurring.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Implied to be the case if a player is caught in the act before having completed their task, as both the Mysterious Man and the other players are unlikely to look well upon it.
* SecretUndergroundPassage: Several of the players have something to this effect built into their houses, though most are redundant in the 'secret' aspect, as most people know they exist.
* SimultaneousArcs: Is frequently the case with every player uploading their own video series on their experiences, leading frequent overlap in which it may be possible, sometimes, to the view the same event from up to 5 or 6 different perspectives (or more than that, in some cases).
* TheUnseen: Despite his heavy influence on the actions undertaken by the players, Mysterious Man has apparently never been seen in person.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: The players, though they're meant to be working together to defeat the Ender Dragon, and work as a team very easily, are prone to screwing each other over on the orders of the Mysterious Man.

* Many gods admire her for the level of [[Main/TheChessmaster tactical skill]] it took to pull off tricking Phobos into helping her and then anticipating his own betrayal and planning around it. Though Phobos being himself betrayed prevented the final result of this gambit from being seen, it is all but ensured that it would have paid off otherwise.
** In fact, some gods have suggested that it might be worth recruiting her into the GUAG as a tactician. However, Will apparently has enough burdens as it is and preemptively turned down the offer.
* Rumors have gone around that there is an object called the Star of Threbe that can completely negate the powers of Will and her fellow guardians in certain circumstances. Due to the risk that this effect could extend to other gods, Will has ensured that she never give away any hint whatsoever as to where the star ended up after it's last use.
* A few gods find it amusing that Will's friends are followers of gods in this house who are higher ranking than she is. Will does not.
** As such, Will has been frequently known to put in requests for her fellow guardians to be ascended into full godhood as well, as they are part of how she got to where she is now, and she hates the fact that they've been seemingly left by the wayside. Unfortunately, no real headway has been made as of yet.

Hello up there!

No, not you. More to the left. No, no, ''my'' left. Yes, you. I'm talking to you. You wouldn't happen to have a rope-ladder would you?

No? That's a shame. Well, i'd ask for you to get help, but for all you know, I could be a [[Main/AxCrazy crazy axe murderer]] or something. [[Main/SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm definitely not that, by the way.]]

My name, if the sign next to the well didn't give it away, is Wixelt.

Why am I stuck down a well?

Well [[Main/DontExplainTheJoke (See what I did there?)]], that's a good question, and given the rate at which i'm getting tired from treading water, I don't exactly have the time to explain such an [[Main/NoodleIncident long story]] right now. What I will say is that it involved [[Main/NoodleImplements several metric tonnes of plastic spoons. And a garden gnome.]] Make of that what you will, but trust me, [[Main/ButForMeItWasTuesday it's not the first time this has happened.]]

But regardless, since I don't appear to be going anywhere, we might as well make some casual conversation, get to know one another. By which I mean you'll get to know me. I'm probably going to die down here, so there's no real point in me even bothering to ask your name. But as I said, [[Main/DeathIsCheap this wouldn't be be the first time,]] so maybe i'll get lucky.
