10->'''In-game name:''' [=iBallisticSquid=]
11->'''Preferred name:''' Squid
12%%->''""''
13One of the four founding members of the SMP. After obtaining Kindness from James in the First Stream, he has been determined to keep and regain the sword at all costs in a quest for power, and intends to find all the netherite items to become the most powerful person on the server.
14----
15* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: {{Implied|Trope}}. After he ended his POV of the ''Curse'' stream, he seemed to into a trance of sorts and was implied to be possessed by Kindness. However, when he logs on for the ''Post-Curse'' stream the next day, he finds Kindness in a chest surrounded by torches like a cult summoning circle, instead of in his ender chest as he last put it, implying that he had no memory of being possessed by Kindness.
16* AmbitionIsEvil: His desire to become the most powerful player on the server -- through [[GottaCatchThemAll obtaining all netherite gear]] on the server -- causes him to use unethical means to obtain said netherite gear -- most notably Kindness the sword -- and alienate himself from his friends, who confront him on this during their PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure, though it is still debatable how much of his ambition is [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity fueled by]] the ArtifactOfDoom nature of the sword.
17* ArrowsOnFire: His bow is enchanted with Flame, which allows him to shoot these.
18* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During the ''Post-Curse'' Stream, he kills Dan while being possessed by Kindness.
19* BreadEggsMilkSquick: What happened to Squid after the ''Curse'' stream?
20--> '''Squid:''' Whatcha mean? There's nothing to talk about! You know, I just went home, had a cup of tea, the sword started speaking to me, and then-- and then I went shopping… ''[incoherent rambling]''
21--> '''Justin:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
22* BystanderSyndrome: During the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream, he does nothing when Justin goes on his murderous rampage against his friends. He gets called out on this.
23* TheChessmaster: He acts as one during the ''Gamble'' stream, where he retracts his deal to gamble Kindness the netherite sword with Dan using ExactWords and a deal with James, then brings up (read: makes up) the rule that there could only ever be one of each piece of netherite gear on the server during the gamble, which James only found out ''after'' they made the deal for Kindness (the night before the Gamble, James reasoned that he would be able to get his own netherite sword in the future). ''And he did that within the span of, apparently, half an hour.'' This is eventually [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] as later in the series, it is listed among the ''server rules'' not to trust Squid (though it was, for the most part, PlayedForLaughs), and Dan and James have made plans to get revenge on him for double-crossing both of them in one fell swoop during the gamble for Kindness.
24* TheCorruptible: He is this when Kindness is concerned.
25%%* ElaborateUndergroundBase: He lives in a hobbit hole house and plans to build this underneath.
26* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice becomes much deeper when he is being possessed by Kindness.
27* ExactWords: He hatches a scheme invoking this to [[OutGambitted get out of]] getting Kindness scammed off of him by Dan.
28* ExpositoryPronoun: While being BrainwashedAndCrazy, he refers to himself with "we", which gets lampshaded whenever it happens.
29* FightingFromTheInside: During the ''Post-Curse'' stream, he briefly makes cries for help twice while being possessed by Kindness.
30-->'''<[=iBallistiicSquid=]>''' help me\
31'''In-game chat:''' [=iBallistiicSquid=] left the game
32* FirstNameBasis: He is sometimes called by his real life first name, "David".
33* HearingVoices: Ever since Kindness was returned to him after the restricted quest, the sword has been speaking to him in his head, telling him to do look for the next netherite piece.
34* HopelessWithTech: Type 2. He [[LampshadeHanging laments]] never being able to understand redstone.
35* ICallItVera: His enchanted diamond sword is named "[=sPAIN=]". His enchanted trident is also named "Pogseidon".
36* ILied: He promises James a full set of diamond armour to keep Kindness from being put up for gamble with Dan, but goes back on his promise by hiring a mercenary through his quest shop to kill James and bring him the sword, because it would be cheaper. [[HitmanWithAHeart Dan, who took on the quest]], proceeds to call him out on this in the ''Curse'' stream.
37-->'''Dan:''' You gave it back to James… but with… with some kind of deal? ''[Squid affirms the statement.]'' And you didn't even ''pull through'' on the deal!
38* LooseLips: In the ''Secret Project'' stream, he accidentally lets it slip that a second piece of netherite has been found -- in front of Justin, who swore to keep it a secret; Ecko, the NaiveNewcomer; and Dan, who had no idea what happened on their end of the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream.
39* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Usually he's called "Squid" or a variation of it, and is rarely called by his username, or even more rarely, his real name.
40* OopNorth: He lives in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and has a very strong accent to prove it too.
41* PetTheDog: Despite being a rather shady guy, he shows Cupquake the nether fortress he found to help her complete her quest during the ''Slice of Life'' stream.
42* ProngsOfPoseidon: Fittingly for a squid, he makes a quest in his shop with the goal being to obtain one of these. As a result, he currently owns one enchanted with Riptide named "Pogseidon".
43* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: After making a deal over the restricted quest for Kindness, his right arm turned red and black to signify the deal has been struck. It's when his arm ''doesn't'' turn back to its normal dark blue with yellow hoodie sleeve, remaining red and black, that symbolizes that something went wrong with the deal (whether it was due to the ''Curse of Vanishing'' specifically or the sword being [[EvilWeapon more sinister than originally expected]]) and he was currently TheCorruptible for Kindness.
44* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: At the end of the ''Post-Curse'' stream, he goes on one against Dan for Cursing Kindness, while being BrainwashedAndCrazy. It is still ambiguous how much of the rampage was fueled by [[ArtifactOfDoom Kindness]] and how much is done on his own volition.
45* TerrestrialSeaLife: He's a squid who lives on land.
46* {{Troll}}: He is described as one in the ''Curse'' stream, and it [[ThePrankster shows]].
47* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: After becoming the owner of Kindness, he becomes desperate to keep the sword to [[AmbitionIsEvil become more and more powerful]], to the point of ordering murder to get the sword back instead of paying his dues, and alienating his friends to the point that ''they'' got turned off from owning any netherite MacGuffin. He also gets called out on this.
48-->'''Dan:''' As soon as you touched that sword, Squid, as soon as you-- you felt its power, you changed, buddy, you changed.

58''"As soon as you touched that sword, Squid, as soon as you— you felt its power, you changed, buddy, you changed."''
59One of the four founding members of the SMP. Initially a businessman, he learnt about the ArtifactOfDoom nature after taking on a quest involving the sword, and eventually getting killed twice in his friends' pursuit for netherite. He is currently working on investigating netherite items on top of running his businesses.
60----
61* ApologeticAttacker: He apologizes to James while [[KillTheOnesYouLove killing him]] for Kindness in order to complete Squid's restricted quest.
62* BadLiar: He claims to be one and it is evident in the footage as well, but apparently some viewers did manage to fall for it.
63* BigWhat: His reaction to Squid doing the "one block shimmy"[[note]]i.e. doing the swimming motion on land[[/note]] while strip-mining.
64* BlingOfWar: His horse, E-Boy wore golden horse armour, gifted by Justin.
65* CanineCompanion: His dog named Gamestop.
66* CardboardPal: He makes himself a "cardboard cutout" from item frames of his old villager friend Dr. Trayaurus.
67* ColourMotif: Light blue, which might have something to do with the diamonds in his name. His quotes are shown in light blue-outlined text in Squid's [=YouTube=] videos.
68* ConMan: A whopping 82% of [[AudienceParticipation his chat]] voted for his gambling stand to be a scam instead of gambling fair and square as he had initially planned, so he reluctantly obliged to the idea at first. Subverted when he decides that he wouldn't be able to pull it off.
69* TheCorruptible: He, in the later streams, becomes this around Kindness.
70%%* DramaticIrony: This quote says it all.
71%%--> '''Dan:''' Man, this is not in my character whatsoever. This is not in my character-- you saw how bad I just lied, you ''know'' how bad I am at lying… and now I've just gotta lie even worse -- I've got a trial to prepare for… oh my goodness.
72* EvilSoundsDeep: Whenever he is possessed by Kindness, his voice becomes this.
73* FamilyMan / HappilyMarried: A carryover from RealLife. His wife, Jemma and recent fatherhood get mentioned a few times throughout the streams.
74* FaceHeelTurn: He decides that he wants the Netherite tools to himself and makes a deal with Kindness later in the series, deciding to threaten Justin with the destruction of his house with a Wither if he doesn't hand over Revenge.
75* TheGambler: He runs a gambling booth on the SMP, among other things.
76* {{Gasp}}: His reaction to being able to "MLG Water Bucket" successfully in his stream ''TDM Towers''.
77* GogglesDoNothing: Justified in that it's his Minecraft skin.
78* HitmanWithAHeart: Squid hires him as a mercenary to kill James, the then-owner of Kindness and bring him back the sword… to [[ILied get out of]] the deal he previously made with ''James'' over the sword. Dan proceeds to call him out on this in the ''Curse'' stream.
79* HonestCorporateExecutive: He settles into this regarding his business ventures, though he has considered inverting this to be a CorruptCorporateExecutive to scam people out of their rare treasures.
80* IconicItem: Diamonds. They are part of his business logo and the back of his business jacket is even decorated with a diamond logo, though it is usually obscured by his 2013 Minecon cape.
81* InSeriesNickname: Squid calls him and his business some variation of "scam" or "[=ScamTDM=]" after he opens his gambling booth.
82* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He claims to be this regarding Squid's restricted quest, but this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by the fact that he has ulterior motives behind it and refuses to betray James.
83* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Upon his deal with Kindness, much like Squid, his right arm is corrupted and turns red.
84* SharpDressedMan: He changes into a suit while running the gambling stall.
85* SpiderSense: During the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream, he placed all his valuables into his ender chest before visiting the Gallery of Squid, because he had a feeling something bad was going to happen. He was correct.
86-->'''James:''' But Dan, you've got no gear [to go after Justin]. Where's your gear?\
87'''Dan:''' It was in my ender chest. I had a strange feeling about today, dude-- I had a weird feeling.
88* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His initial reaction to finding a Curse of Vanishing enchanted book in a dungeon.

99%%->''""''
100One of the four founding members of the SMP. Formerly focusing on building his house and handling personal affairs, he has since taken a more proactive role in the quest for netherite.
101----
102* AttackReflector: His diamond armour is enchanted with Thorns.
103* ButtMonkey: During the start of the series, he gets subjected to endless EpicFail moments. In the first stream, he had problems with his audio since it was his first time streaming on Twitch in ''years'' and got knocked down a massive cavern-hole in the ground so many times the gang named it "Justin's Hole". Squid also tested [[CoolSword Kindness]] on him, causing him to lose 6 hearts. Then on the second day, he gets framed for various pranks he didn't pull. Afterwards, during the gamble stream, he loses his diamond axe to Dan in a gamble, then falls to his death in the bedrock-deep hole Squid dug in Dan's temporary base, and ''then'' gets killed by a [[AquaticMook drowned]]. And then, during Squid's birthday stream, his dog gets hidden underneath his base as a prank. And that's not even through the first week of the SMP.
104* BullyingADragon: When being threatened by Kindness possessed Dan with the destruction of his home, he proceeds to tease Kindness fearlessly, despite the fact he knows what she can do to him.
105* CanineCompanion:
106* CoolOldGuy: Comparatively speaking on the 'old' part. He's the oldest member of the SMP (more than ten years older than the next-oldest member, Cupquake) and is still a very capable Minecraft player.
107* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu?: Same as Bullying A Dragon above.
108* DrunkOnPower: After being in contact with [[ArtifactOfDoom Kindness]], he gains a desire for power and kills two of his friends suddenly as an act of evil to activate the compass leading to the next MacGuffin. [[https://twitter.com/yandantdm/status/1362440219828625422 In response to a fan question]] on the suddenness of the action, he has ''this'' to say:
109-->'''Justin (replying to a Twitter post):''' The draw of power can surprise you.
110* EtTuBrute: During the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream, he kills James in cold blood and chases Dan until he falls off a ledge and dies from fall damage, to prove himself evil enough to follow the compass leading him to the next piece of netherite.
111* FaceHeelTurn: In the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream, he turns against and kills two of his friends to prove himself evil enough to follow the compass to the next ArtifactOfDoom.
112* FishEyes: His Minecraft appearance has these.
113* KarmaHoudini: Justin was supposed to go to court for the murders of James and Dan, and was likely to be thrown in prison for it. To prevent this from happening, he ran away, leaving his things behind, and after the will there is no follow-up. Especially considering the fact he blew up Squid's shop.
114* NakedPeopleAreFunny: In an EpicFail moment during the ''New Member'' stream, he ends up [[ItMakesSenseInContext stripping down to his underwear]]. HilarityEnsues.
115%%* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While he is normally a fairly mellow person, after he becomes DrunkOnPower, he kills his friends to prove he is worthy of the next ArtifactOfDoom. The aforementioned friends that he killed comment on his behaviour.
116* TheScapegoat: It's a RunningGag that he gets blamed for every other prank pulled on the server.
117* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: [[DownplayedTrope Occasionally]] he slips into more complex vocabulary, like "desecrated" during the ''Post-Curse'' stream.
118* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: In the ‘Hunting for Netherite’ stream, Think was simply mining in the nether when SB comes up behind him and brutally slaughters him, before stealing Revenge and running, leaving Think dazed and confused.

125'''Preferred name:''' James\
126''"And it's kind of funny because the sword is called 'Kindness', but it's brought [...] no kind of kindness to the server, it's b-brought betrayal, it's brought deceit, it's brought tensions... all for this stupid sword."''
127One of the four founding members of the SMP, James was the one to find Kindness in the First Stream. He has since given up ownership of the sword for various reasons and is dedicated to running his Honey Co. bee and honey farm.
128----
129* ColourMotif: Green. He wears green a lot and his quotes are shown in green-outlined text in Squid's [=YouTube=] videos.
130* ElaborateUndergroundBase: He claims to have a tendency to build these. In the SMP, it manifests in the form of the main base of operations of Honey Co., his apian company.
131* EpicFail: He had to relearn simple crafting recipes he had forgotten since he hadn't played Minecraft at all in ages. And by that, we mean apparently had to look up the crafting recipe for ''sticks'' and other basic items in the first livestream.
132--> '''James:''' How do you make torches again?
133* FriendToBugs: His focus on ''VideoGame/BeeSwarmSimulator'' on his channel gives him a love for bees and bee-related builds.
134* HiddenDepths: He's a bee farmer who hasn't played Minecraft for so long he forgot how to make torches. He is also the first person to realize the ArtifactOfDoom nature of Kindness, and he is spared from being corrupted by it purely because he is too paranoid about its power to carry it around with him actively.
135* InSeriesNickname: "Jimmy", as he labelled his WIP house in a stream.
136* {{Irony}}: Despite being the first founder to ever get ahold of a netherite ArtifactOfDoom, he is the only remaining founder who is yet to start falling into the temptation of power from the items to undergo a (potential) [[FaceHeelTurn villain arc]].
137* LostPetGrievance: He mourns the loss of his unnamed parrot after the ''Hunt for Netherite'' Stream, and after Dan kills his other parrot, Pigeon, he eventually interrogates him on what happened.
138* NiceGuy: For the most part, he is just an all-round pleasant guy to be around, who would help fix your house if your friend accidentally ruins it with some ill-timed water buckets.
139* ThePrankster: He enjoys pranking in his spare time, though this is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] so far on the server, where his friends were more prone to trolling each other and the only prank he has pulled so far is the "Gallery of Squid".
140* PunnyName: "Thanks, see ya."
141* UnusualEuphemism: When he gets involved in [[JustifiedTrope secret]] meetings involving Kindness, the discussions are referred to as something along the lines of "bee stuff" while in conversation with others.
142* VirtuousBees: Many of his builds focus on bees and honey.

157%%* Precision F Strike: Though she refrains from cursing for the most part throughout her perspective, in her episode "Decorating A Cottage Core Bakery in Minecraft Shady Oaks SMP!" (taking place after the ''Post-Curse'' stream), she calls a creeper a "bitch" after it blows up a corner of her front porch.
158* RapidFireNo: Her reaction to being attacked by a pillager while building her bakery.
159* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the first girl on the server. This is eventually subverted as more girls join the server.

161* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: During the ''Hunt for Netherite'' stream, Justin massacred James in front of her house… while she was in the area and speaking to the boys about the weather just before the incident. She thought they were ''hit by lightning'', even though the kill feed says otherwise.

261[[folder:[=TommyInnit=]]]
262A new-generation Minecraft [=YouTuber=] who collaborated with Dan on a Lucky Blocks Speedrun[[note]]the stream is titled ''GLASSES REVEAL then collab with big man..''[[/note]]. Although he doesn't appear in the SMP himself, he makes a voice-call appearance in an in-between stream, as Dan was on the SMP before their official collaboration.
263----
264* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He establishes his loud and abrasive self the moment he got onto Dan's stream by making jabs at him.
265-->'''Dan:''' It's been thirty seconds and you've called me "old" and "dumb".
266* HeroOfAnotherStory: Implied. The existence of the ''Characters/DreamSMP'' has been alluded to in the Shady Oaks SMP, where Tommy is a major player and has quite a storyline unto himself..
267* InSeriesNickname: He is referred to as "Big Man" a few times.
268* SirSwearsALot: It isn't very evident, since he doesn't appear in the SMP proper, but his colourful language really shows when he drops an S-bomb not even two minutes into his time on Dan's stream. He also sounds pretty happy about being allowed to swear during the stream.
269* TheVoice: He doesn't appear on the SMP at all.

272!!Other Entities
273[[folder:General]]
274A set of netherite equipment which are part of some sort of deeper server lore. They can only be obtained through events and random occurrences and cannot be crafted.
275----
276* ArtifactOfDoom: It is not yet confirmed for the items which have not made canonical appearances yet, but those which ''have'' appeared in canon make it quite clear.
277** Kindness the sword has the ability to control the wielder's mind, among other things, and has been compared to the [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings One Ring]] several times throughout the series.
278** Unearthing Revenge the pickaxe [[ImpliedTrope has not seen much action yet]], but the hill where it was found was surrounded with basalt and netherrack blocks, and was decorated with red poppies and lava, and the village nearby was corrupted.
279* GottaCatchThemAll: Acquiring all pieces of netherite gear -- both armour and tools/weapons -- would make a person the most powerful player on the SMP.
280* MacGuffin: A series of items which are part of a deeper server lore and are pursued by several players on the server, for a variety of reasons.

289->''"A new piece of netherite has been found."''
290A cursed netherite sword. It was found in the First Stream, and has changed hands numerous times since it was found. It is currently in Squid's possession.
291%%Is Kindness a she or an it?
292----
293* ArtifactOfAttraction: Initially, all but one of the four founders of the SMP have had interest in owning the sword due to its power. Subverted when James realizes the power the sword holds and expresses relief in being rid of it in the ''Curse'' stream, with Dan sharing similar sentiments; which implies their interest in Kindness in the first place is because it is a MacGuffin, not necessarily because the sword itself draws people towards it.
294* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Apparently it is capable of inducing this, being able to control the actions of the wielders of the sword.
295* CoolSword: It is the only netherite sword on the server.
296* TheCorruption: It is able to possess its owner.
297* CursedItem: Up to the ''Curse'' stream, Dan and James conspire and succeed in enchanting Kindness with a Curse of Vanishing book, in revenge for Squid double-crossing both of them[[note]]the reasoning behind this form of revenge is taking the phrase "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility" [[LiteralMinded literally]][[/note]]. In Minecraft, the Curse of Vanishing makes anything with it disappear when a player carrying it dies, unable to be picked up, and since Kindness is the ''only'' netherite sword on the server...
298* DemonicPossession: It enacts Type 3 on its wielders.
299* EvilSoundsDeep: While possessing Squid, it speaks with a deep voice.
300* EvilWeapon: It can speak to its wielders and corrupt them by controlling their minds and actions.
301* HearingVoices: It can speak to wielders of the sword through their minds.
302* IronicName: According to James during his episode ''Introducing HONEY CO. FARMS!'', Kindness the sword has been anything but kind to the server and only serves to bring discourse as a MacGuffin.
303-->'''Thnxcya on why he thinks Kindness is cursed:''' And it's kind of funny because the sword is called "Kindness", but it's brought nothing-- ''[laughs]'' it's brought-- it's brought no kind of kindness to the server, it's b-brought betrayal, it's brought deceit, it's brought tensions... all for this stupid sword.
304* NamedWeapons: It was already named when it was found.
305* RedIsViolent: When Kindness takes over Squid and Dan, their arm turns red. Usually this results in someone's death or threatened death.
306* SealedEvilInACan: Since the possession incidents, Kindness has been hidden away.
307* SlipperyMacGuffin: Kindness the sword has changed hands twice in the first couple of days of the server's existence.
308* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: The first few streams (and thus the first story arc) revolve around Kindness the netherite sword being the MacGuffin, but it is also stated that other gear made of netherite exist out there.

311[[folder:Unearthing Revenge]]
312A netherite pickaxe. It is currently in Justin's possession.
313----
314* BilingualBonus: The name of the compass leading to it -- Take Heed -- is written in the Standard Galactic alphabet. The name of the pickaxe -- Unearthing Revenge is also written in the alphabet.
315* PunnyName: "Un''earth''ing revenge". Pickaxe. You do the math.
