fWhip

IGN: fWhip
Preferred name: fWhip

In fWhip's first life, he held the Road Runner origin. He was killed by Wither Skeletons while exploring the Nether.
In his second life, he held the Hare origin. He died from fall damage while building his starter house.
In his third life, he held the Trickster origin. He was killed by a trident-wielding Drowned while raiding a dungeon.
In his fourth life, he holds the Fairy origin.

Accidental Misnaming: At the start of his 4th episode, he accidentally refers to the series as "Create Life SMP".
Bag of Holding: In an attempt to resolve his storage issues, fWhip uses the Create mod to make a portable storage room in a minecart (later dubbed "fWagons") in his 4th episode, inspired by how he can move drills with portable storage.
Black Comedy Cannibalism: In his 1st episode, fWhip refers to the cooked chicken he picked up from Spawn as "cooked roadrunner". Guess what origin he holds at the time.
Continuity Nod: While holding the Fairy origin, fWhip mentions having been tiny before "in a past life on a different server", and presumes he can manage the difficulty of navigating in a boat while too small to even see over the top of it.
Frying Pan of Doom: He uses a skillet he takes from a village near Spawn as a weapon during the early stages of his journey in the New Life world.
Gadgeteer Genius: While the Create mod is one of two central mods to the SMP and most creators dabble in it to varying degrees, fWhip leans into it so much that he accidentally refers to the series as "Create Life SMP" at one point.
Shout-Out: While holding the Fairy origin, fWhip takes great care to shout "Hey! Listen!" as often as possible.
Sizeshifter: As a Trickster, fWhip is capable of shrinking himself. Being fWhip, he utilizes this for building and engineering.

GeminiTay

IGN: GeminiTay
Preferred name: Gem

In Gem's first life, she held the Swarm origin. She died fighting a Naga which gave her the Wither effect.
In her second life, she held the Blazeborn origin. She died when she accidentally walked backwards off the top of her tower while building.
In her third life, she holds the Slime origin.

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Discussed and averted. As a Blazeborn, Gem has no qualms killing other Blazes, but also asks the viewers of her 5th episode if it is morally wrong for a Blazeborn like her to, in theory, make a Blaze farm.
Flowers of Nature: Gem wears a white flower in her hair as the Swarm origin, which grants her powers over the natural environment.
I Just Want to Be Special: Gem isn't very happy that most of her origins don't have flashy abilities like teleportation, flight, or elemental manipulation. She still tries to make it work, though.
Mundane Utility: The Slime origin she holds in her third life can split off smaller Slime mobs from themselves as defense. Gem initially laments not having a "cool" origin power like flight or shooting fireballs, but upon realizing that split-off Slimes drop a name-tag of the player's name upon death, she instantly sees the potential in farming name-tags off of her power.
Virtuous Bees: Holding the Swarm origin in her first life, Gem is essentially a group of bees in a cute sweater. Most of her powers at the time are benign and non-destructive, and she's quite a friendly person.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: After helping Joey clear out a "mushroom cult" dungeon for his house, Joey immediately goes through a series of accidents that results in his first death. Gem is exasperated by this.
Gem: (in the in-game chat) REALLY
after all we just survived
LOL

GoodTimesWithScar

IGN: GoodTimeWithScar
Preferred name: Scar

In Scar's first life, he held the Witch origin. He was blown up by a Cave Creeper.
In his second life, he is a Human.

Adventurer Outfit: His skin changes to that of the pilot variant which comes with an off-white scarf, brown bomber jacket with Jellie's face printed on the right shoulder, dark brown boots, black goggles, a brown peaked cap, dark beige pants with several pockets on each side, and brown fingerless gloves.
Ambiguously Human: In his first life, Scar claims to be Human because he never asked for a custom origin prior to the start of the series (apparently due to poor time management), but also emits strange purple particles which aren't present in his second life. Later confirmed in his 2nd episode after his first death; he was a Witch in his first life and a Human in his second.
Company Cross References: Scar's pizza-stylized umbrella is designed and named after Pizza the llama from the 3rd Life SMP.
Killed Offscreen: He was not recording when his first death happened, not even halfway through his 1st episode.
Meaningful Name: 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.
Parasol Parachute: Scar attempts to use one in his 1st episode after seeing Sausage glide through the sky while holding an umbrella. In the mod-pack, they do seem to reduce fall damage.
Small Role, Big Impact: He doesn't stick around for long in New Life, but it's with his help that Sparrow is able to fix his plane and leave the server in Owen's finale.

InTheLittleWood

IGN: InTheLittleWood
Preferred name: Martyn

In Martyn's first life, he held the Chillager origin. He was killed by a cursed Assassin Sausage while exploring Sparrow's Ancient City.
In his second life, he held the Guardian origin. He suffocated to death when he relogged afterward, and was unable to save himself.
In his third life, he holds the Bee origin and plays through this on Lego Fortnite.

Acme Products: Martyn runs Philzer's Fridge Freezers, a "company" which sells refrigerators and Jimmy-based toys and collectibles.
The Gadfly: He quite enjoys messing around with his server-mates with pranks and oftentimes meta jokes. For one, his first meeting with Sparrow involves him trolling Owen into breaking character or the fourth wall, using occasional Japanese Bilingual Dialogue as a nod to Owen/Sparrow's 1st episode and making a Call-Back to Rats SMP when he also interrupted Owen's character lore.
Papa Wolf: For the 'Colins', i.e. the Snow Creepers; when Martyn hears of Callum killing one of them knowing they're Colins and are thus his, he gets his revenge by digging a hole in Callum's house filled with powdered snow and paintings of the Colins staring at him as he freezes.
Pungeon Master: No series with Martyn is complete without puns. It's harder to find an episode where he doesn't make a pun of some sort than one where he does.
Punny Name: He names all the Snow Creepers which spawn in his base 'Colin', because then he can build a "Coliny"^*colony of them.
Tempting Fate: In his 10th episode, upon finding out Wardens don't spawn as easily in Sparrow's Ancient City, Martyn starts running free inside with reckless abandon, declaring that nothing in the Overworld can kill him.
Sausage: (appearing behind him, quietly) Are you sure about that?
InTheLittleWood was shot by MythicalSausage using [THE GOD KILLER]

Joey Graceffa

IGN: JOEYGRACEFFA
Preferred name: Joey

In Joey's first life, he held the Dark Fairy origin. He accidentally flew into his mushroom house-to-be, then died from fall damage.
In his second life, he holds an unknown origin.

Back from the Dead: The very start of Joey's 1st episode has him chant that he as Prince Inchy from the Afterlife SMP was back from the dead.
Mushroom House: In his first life, Joey initially plans to make a mushroom piglin dungeon his house after clearing out the "mushroom cult" residing within with Gem.
Ponzi: He grants fairy "wishes" based on this strategy. In his 1st episode, Joey obtains a stack of gunpowder for firework rockets from fWhip, who wants 32 iron for Create mod tinkering; then Joey gets a "wish" from Gem to get those 32 iron in exchange for a bucket of salmon for her aquarium.
Shout-Out: Whatever Joey's doing in his second life isn't confirmed yet, but he's definitely roleplaying as Toad from Super Mario Bros., and calling bees "Koopa" and Shelby "Princess Peach".

Katherine Elizabeth Gaming

IGN: katherineeliz
Preferred name: Katherine

In Katherine's first life, she was a Human. She was killed by an End Slime while exploring the End with Sausage and Scott.
In her second life, she holds the Fluffy Friend origin.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Much of Katherine's 1st episode is spent on her being distracted by rocks and sticks on the ground, modded mechanisms, pretty flowers, and cute animals, then her chiding herself for being distracted.
Floating Continent: Her theme park expansion of "Sheep Land" is inspired by how sheep look like clouds that don't float in the sky, and is thus built to be located on floating islands.
Muggles: Has the Human origin in her first life, giving her no powers at all. She is a bit miffed about it, but doesn't let her non-supernatural status get to her.
Signature Style: Katherine's signature is the star-shaped windows on her houses. She lampshades this fondly, rhetorically asking if she'd build anything else, while Sausage and Martyn complain about this.
The Team Normal: The token non-superpowered, Human character who joins the End raid. Scott compares her with "the random citizen that just got pulled into the fight" in a superhero story.

LDShadowLady

IGN: LDShadowLady
Preferred name: Lizzie

In Lizzie's first life, she holds the Glitch origin.

Out of Focus: While it is known that Lizzie is a member of the server, she has only been seen in one of Scott's livestreams and is yet to make an episode of her own.^note

MythicalSausage

IGN: MythicalSausage
Preferred name: Sausage

In Sausage's first life, he held the Ghast origin. He was shot to death by a Skeleton whilst dungeon-crawling during a stream.
In his second life, he held the Phoenix origin. He was killed by a Wither Skeleton whilst dungeon-crawling.
In his third life, he held the Hare origin. He was killed by a Warden in Sparrow's Ancient City.
In his fourth life, he held the Dolphinkin origin. He died from fall damage while testing out his Riptide trident.
In his fifth life, he held the Merling origin. He was shot by a skeleton after being severely weakened from dehydration at respawn.
In his sixth and final life, he held the Assassin origin. After mysteriously blacking out and possibly killing Chillager Martyn and Rift Bender Callum, Rusty helps him use a Rift shard to teleport out of the New Life world to seek a cure for his curse.

Black Bead Eyes: Has these in his third life.
Bunnies for Cuteness: In his third life, Sausage takes on a more nature-esque cozy aesthetic in his builds and repeatedly points out how adorable he looks in his bunny Minecraft skin.
Kill It with Water: In his first life, Sausage is a Ghast Mage who takes damage when in contact with water. He forgets about this a few times in his 1st episode, causing him to nearly die trying to say hello to a koi fish, among other mishaps. In his second life, he's overjoyed that this drawback no longer applies to him as a Phoenix.
Playing with Fire: Sausage's first two origins are both fire-affiliated, being able to shoot fireballs and be Immune to Fire.
Steampunk: Thanks to the Create mod, Sausage takes advantage of the mechanisms by building things with a steampunk aesthetic.
Tempting Fate: While testing out his Riptide trident in the rain during his September 15th livestream, Sausage reassures his stream chat that he's not going to die doing so. Not 20 seconds later, he fails to look where he's going, plunges onto a random island, and dies from the subsequent fall damage.
Toilet Humour: As a Ghast Mage, he claims that the gasses "released" to launch him sky-high and his fireballs to be farts. And then there's the alleged reason his black trousers are brown…

TheOrionSound

IGN: OrionSound
Preferred name: Oli

In Oli's first life, he holds the Mimic origin.

Chest Monster: His first life is essentially this, his skin is designed as a walking chest with most of his body being gold and can disguise himself as one, where anyone who opens the disguise gets a surprise explosion.

PearlescentMoon

IGN: PearlescentMoon
Preferred name: Pearl

In Pearl's first life, she held the Copper Golem origin. She accidentally fell into a deep cave in the ground.
In her second life, she held the Star origin. She fell off her tower when Jimmy slept and changed the time to day while she was sneaking on an edge, causing her hitbox to shrink off the side.
In her third life, she holds the Copper Golem origin again.

All for Nothing: In her 4th episode, Pearl ventures out on an adventure to collect bee nests with a Silk Touch axe so she can make a honey farm and test out her galvanizing ability as a Copper Golem, and spends a large amount of time enchanting to get the axe she wanted. However, she died on her return journey, rendering the entire affair pointless since as a Star, she no longer needs to apply wax on herself to stave off corrosion. Subverted when she becomes a Copper Golem again in her third life.
Ironic Name: Invoked Trope. Pearl's dog, which she obtains in her 1st episode and as a one-block-tall Copper Golem, is named 'Tiny' even though he's taller than her at the time.
Naïve Newcomer: Meta; this is Pearl's first modded series and she starts out very unfamiliar with what mods can do, from the huge range of block and decoration options to the fact that one can chop an entire tree down in one go instead of having to individually mine logs like in vanilla Minecraft.
Neat Freak: She's very organized in her storage once she's settled in; Sausage preemptively warns her of this when she first visits his house, knowing she won't be happy about what she sees.
Toilet Humour: Her ability to obtain redstone dust while pressing buttons is jokingly compared to pooping.

Pixlriffs

IGN: Pixlriffs
Preferred name: Pix/Pixl

In Pix's first life, he holds the Archaeologist origin.

Genius Ditz: In his first life, at least; very well-versed in his field, but forgot to take a waystone with him while first leaving Spawn.
Mythology Gag: When it comes to archaeology, this is definitely not Pix's first rodeo.

Scott Smajor

IGN: Smajor1995
Preferred name: Scott

In Scott's first life, he held the Transporter origin. He was knocked off from a tower by a Punch bow-wielding Skeleton and died from the subsequent fall damage.
In his second life, he held the Fungal Mage origin. He was killed by a baby zombie while dungeon-crawling under his base.
In his third life, he held the Living Doll origin. He was killed by fWhip with a waystone-rigged lava trap.
In his fourth life, he held the Lightmancer origin. His life force was drained by Sparrow for being in opposition to the Sculk.
In his fifth life, he holds the Butterfly origin.

Accidental Murder: Let it be known that Scott completely forgot he marked Callum for Swap Teleportation before he went exploring in that Ancient City and accidentally summoned two Wardens.
Creepy Doll: Takes on a spooky aesthetic in his third life and can veer towards the disturbing side at times.
Festering Fungus: Starting from his 8th episode, Scott starts to spread patches of mycelium and mushrooms around other server-members' bases, referring to the resultant patches as his "babies". It's by all means practical given how Fungal Mages are virtually dependent on this for long-term survival, but considering his comment that "everything's going according to plan" at the end of his 9th episode, the spread is likely the intended outcome. Unfortunately for him, he loses his second life before he can further carry out this plan.
The Gadfly: This line at the end of his 4th episode says it all:
Scott: I enjoy being a menace.
Kill It with Fire: Discussed; after stumbling across a cave spider nest near his base-to-be, he resolves to pour lava down the cavern where it's located and never go down there.
Mythology Gag: A couple to the Afterlife SMP.
- Scott having Swap Teleportation abilities which has been used to cause chaos and death, accidental or otherwise? It's not the first time, to say the least.
- In his finale, Scott also gets annoyed about being mistaken for a moth, despite it not being his first rodeo with holding an origin of the Lepidoptera order.
Never My Fault: After teleporting Jimmy underground for the lolz, Scott blames Jimmy's initial first death on him trying to dig his way out of the stone with a sword and a bucket rather than a pickaxe. While Scott is technically correct; as Jimmy rightfully points out, the entire incident could have been avoided entirely if Jimmy weren't teleported into a wall in the first place. The death is considered Canon Discontinuity and the life is restored in the end, though.
Shout-Out: After taking a knife from a village near spawn, Scott comments, "What have I got? A knife! No!"
Swap Teleportation: He has this ability as a Transporter, and enjoys using it to mess with his server-mates. However, when he forgets who he marked, things can get quite messy — just ask Callum about his first death, though at least it's not done with malicious intent this time...
Technical Pacifist: Averted. While the Fungal Mage origin is supposed to be this, Scott gets around it by bringing around a mycelium block with him so he can kill mobs, regain Fungus Mana by standing on it, and kill again. It's not convenient by any means and the mod tells him off every time he does damage to anything.

Seapeekay

IGN: Seapeekay
Preferred name: Callum

In Callum's first life, he was a Human. He was slain by a Warden after Scott teleported him in an Ancient City.
In his second life, he held the Beach Crab origin. He died from fall damage while looting a dungeon.
In his third life, he held the Rift Bender origin. He was killed by an Iron Golem he aggravated, thinking him holding this origin has made him otherwise invincinble and overpowered.
In his fourth life, he held the Shulk origin. He was killed by the same Iron Golem that he killed last time, thinking the origin is too boring for him to live as.
In his fifth life, he held the Dullahan origin. He was killed by the Iron Golem again after he accomplished the goal of building a house while holding the origin.
In his sixth and final life, he held the Hippogryph origin. He killed himself by plummeting into the ground mid-flight to see if he had any more lives, of which he did not have.

Fox Folk: Callum's default skin is an anthropomorphized fox, which he wears as a Human.
I Just Want to Be Special: He's quite insecure about learning he's one of the few Humans among the cast at the start of the series, in comparison with nearly everyone else who has at least some superhuman abilities.
Mood Whiplash: Near the end of his 3rd episode, Callum goes exploring armourless and finds a house-like dungeon with a zombie spawner, except all its zombies wear cod heads and hold enchanted fishing rods. While on his way home, he's walking merrily through the forest and doing a small bucket clutch, and the next moment he's teleported into an Ancient City where all is dark and he has no idea what to do. In his panic, he ends up triggering Sculk shriekers repeatedly and accidentally summons a Warden that would end his first life.
Mythology Gag: This certainly isn't the first server where Callum has been a Dimensional Traveler.
Shout-Out: His initial skin as a Beach Crab and later for other origins is based on Eugene Krabs.

Shubble

IGN: ShubbleYT
Preferred name: Shelby

In Shelby's first life, she holds the Solar Panel origin and nicknames herself "Sunshine Girl". She deliberately lets her sunlight meter run out after respawning and killing the Ender Dragon with Sparrow.
In her second life, she holds an unknown origin.

Curtains Match the Window: Shelby has bright, sunny yellow hair to match her amber eyes in her first life. She's also dressed primarily in yellow.
The Power of the Sun: Her Solar Panel origin is entirely based around the Sun, gaining her special meter so long as she is in direct sunlight, while it slowly decreases if she hides from it, even going under water. Even in the shade, she glows with little particles, and she can fire off a beam of light.
Self-Imposed Challenge: Invoked in her 4th episode to resummon the Ender Dragon and kill it all over again, just to prove that she can do it, while not expecting to emerge from the End alive. She does.

SmallishBeans

IGN: Smallishbeans
Preferred name: Joel

In Joel's first life, he held the Hippogryph origin, and styles himself as a hippopotamus named 'Griff'. He was killed by a Phantom while attempting to raid the Heavenly Challenger dungeon.
In his second life, he held the Dullahan origin. He was shot a by Pillager wielding a firework-loaded crossbow while raiding a dungeon.
In his third life, he holds the Kindling origin.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Joel's Minecraft skin throughout his first life is a lavender hippo. While he claims to have grey skin, many server-members are very confused by this and ask him why he's "purple". He is not amused.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: As kind Lin, he tames a cat and names it 'Albert', and prefers a slower, more simple lifestyle in his alleged old age.
Punny Name:
- In his first life, Joel takes on the appearance of a hippo and prefers to be called "Griff". You do the math from here.
- In his third life, Joel takes on the name "kind Lin" and holds the Kindling origin.
Wholesome Crossdresser: Joel ends his 4th episode mentioning nonchalantly to the fan-artists that his Dullahan persona, 'Dulla-Dan', likes wearing dresses.

SolidarityGaming

IGN: SolidarityGaming
Preferred name: Jimmy

In Jimmy's first life, he held the Bad Guy origin. He accidentally fell down a one-block mining tunnel in Martyn's base.^note
In his second life, he held the Monkey origin, and styled himself as "Good Guy". He was killed in an explosive trap laid out by Sausage for him previously flooding his house.
In his third life, he held the Penguin origin, and styled himself as "Cold Guy". He fell down a hole he previously made in a Nether passageway to his death.
In his fourth life, he held the Truffle origin and styles himself as "Fun Guy". He was crushed to death by Crushing Wheels in one of fWhip's factory buildings (long story).
In his fifth life, he holds an unknown origin.

Actually Pretty Funny: While he's very insistent on not being a toy, Martyn's toy and figurine boxes for his characters are intricate enough to genuinely impress him.
Black Bead Eyes: Starting from 'Good Guy', his skins uses small black dots for eyes.
Berserk Button: Making any comparisons to the Barbie franchise. He is not Ken, he did not build a Barbie dream house, and he is not a toy, thank you very much. Martyn, Sausage, and the viewer-base seem to think otherwise. He seems to have embraced it more by the time he reaches his third life.
Butt-Monkey: There is no series which Jimmy appears in where he's not this. Within the first week, Martyn, Sausage, and Katherine have all partaken in trolling him with the custom painting mod^note, and that's just one mod.
Cheery Pink: All of his builds in his first life are made from pink concrete with white trim. It becomes much less cheery when all the Barbie jokes start coming through.
Cool Shades: He wears a pair in his first life to emphasize his 'Bad Guy' status, regardless of time of day (because it's Minecraft and thus purely cosmetic).
Hazy-Feel Turn: For a given definition of 'heel'; Jimmy goes from being a Nominal Villain holding the Bad Guy origin who at most throws TNT into someone else's backyard, to a "superhero" called 'Good Guy' who is at best a Hero with an F in Good.
Hero with an F in Good: As 'Good Guy', among other attempts at doing good deeds, Jimmy has placed lava-filled holes in Chillager Martyn's home as a "warm and toasty" alternative in case he doesn't like the cold, and waterlogs the floors of Ghast mage Sausage's house and storage building in case he sets his property on fire with his fireballs. Deconstructed when this kicks off a Cycle of Revenge pranks which involves Sausage murdering him in a trap because "he started it".
Lured into a Trap: How he loses his second life, being tricked into falling an explosive trap laid out by Sausage as revenge for Jimmy previously flooding his house.
Mythology Gag: Due to the randomised nature of this series, it's entirely unintentional, but he's ended up as a Bad Guy not long after the Limited Life SMP, where he was part of the Bad Boys faction. And in keeping with the unintentional Call-Back, he also loses this life and origin falling 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.
Nominal Villain: In his first life, while he's nominally a 'Bad Guy', Jimmy is the type of guy that would get excited over a pelican floatie, has shown sentimentality for past series, and instinctively apologizes for hurting others. And he builds a bright Cheery Pink house, because he can still "have fun" while being a 'Bad Guy'.
Shout-Out: Jimmy's Minecraft skin for his second life resembles and is acknowledged to be an "off-brand Spider-Man".

Sparrow

IGN: Owenge_Juice
Preferred name: Sparrow

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. Throughout the series, as he learns and discovers what the hybrid life is like, he finds that Be Careful What You Wish For is applicable here in full force.

In Sparrow's first life, he was a Human. He locked himself in a machine he built to physically rearrange his genes.
In his second life, arguably a continuation of his first, he held the Copper Golem origin. He fried his own circuitry by constructing a machine to pour saltwater on himself, no longer wanting to hold the origin as the programming takes over his life more and more.
In his third life, arguably also a continuation of his first, he held the Sculk origin. He detonated the Ancient City as an act of Redemption Equals Death after killing Lightmancer Scott.
In his fourth life, technically still a continuation of his first (and at this point, only), he is a Human again, having managed to miraculously survive the detonation on half a heart using a Totem of Undying.

Abandoned Warehouse: As a Copper Golem, Sparrow moves away from his old campsite and settles in an abandoned factory, making use of the mechanical parts already there to build machinery and make more Copper Golems.
Adventurer Outfit: He wore a pilot variant that comes with a brown opened bomber jacket, a brown peaked cap, orange goggles, brown boots with beige socks, orange sleeveless sweater, and short green pants. This is especially noticeable in his first life as a Human in his first episode.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:
- As a Copper Golem, he's quite easily distracted by buttons and has to restrain himself from pushing them whenever he sees one. The first time he finds out he can gain redstone dust from this, he immediately gets distracted by this ability to the point it takes Scott stopping by for a visit and physically breaking the button (after gaining 7 stacks of redstone) for him to snap out of it.
- While holding the Sculk origin, he's still repeatedly distracted by various ventures on his journeys — even with a fixed goal in mind, if he stumbles across any big, at times cursed structures, he'll explore it.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Sparrow spends much of his life as a Human researcher wanting to see what life as a hybrid is like. When he manages to replicate the abilities of one by Professor Guinea Pig or supernatural means twice, he's eventually so disturbed by what his life has come to both times that he takes to suicide to get out of it.
Big, Flat "What": In Owen's 7th episode, Sparrow is completely baffled that Scar has terraformed and constructed his own airport, when he crash-landed on an island and thought he could have landed there instead.
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: In Owen's 5th episode, after creating a machine to de-oxidize his Copper Golem creations, Sparrow initially plans to visit some friends before his robotic programming overrides and tells him to go mining for resources. In the following episode, he's forced to explore the Deep Dark in spite of his own hesitation and fear because of another systems override informing him that the "objective" of exploration is "not optional". He's realized this by the end of the episode, given what happens.
Easily Forgiven: Scott brushes off Sparrow murdering him as a Sculk and quickly rushes back down to the Ancient City to make sure he's okay, noticing he's not acting like himself.
Eat Brain for Memories: While holding the Sculk origin, when Sparrow gains XP (i.e. life force) from killing entities, he gains access to that entity's memories.
Eye Colour Change: In his third life equivalent, Sparrow's eyes go from dark brown to a deep, Sculk-ish blue.
Fighting from the Inside: As the computer starts to take over him more and more, Sparrow shows in his 6th episode that his human mind and emotional core still exists; he decides to construct an "irrigation" machine at the end of the episode to pour saltwater on himself and fry his own circuitry, not wanting to be a Copper Golem anymore. Throughout the construction process, he deliberately uses vague terminology so that the robotic computer in him can't detect what he's actually doing in order to physically stop him from doing it, until it's too late.
From Beyond the Fourth Wall: As a Copper Golem, Sparrow gains the ability to read viewers' comments during Owen's 6th episode in order to improve his machinery.
Hearing Voices: Holding the Sculk origin, Sparrow hears the voices of lost souls in his head.
Heel Realization: After spending the past episodes treating the Warden as the landlord of the Ancient City, at the start of Episode 11, Sparrow finds out through breaking open memory jars of the Warden in the Otherside that the portal at the heart of the Ancient City is to be used to spread Sculk to invade the surface Overworld. It is with this knowledge that Sparrow realizes the Warden has been a parasite all along, and proceeds to transport himself back to the Overworld to kill the Warden by disconnecting its synapses and draining its life force in defense of his friends. That being said, it takes him another while to shake off being in defense of Sculk… at a horrible price.
I Hate Past Me: After becoming a Copper Golem, Sparrow immediately grows critical of his past self, from his disorganized storage to the organic environment he settled in, to even the inefficiency of the machine that made him into a hybrid in the first place.
I Just Want to Be Special: Played for Drama. 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 build a complex machine to try and physically splice in compatible non-human genes with himself. Of course, once he gets to that point, being a "hybrid" is nowhere near what it's all cracked up to be. It takes until his finale in Episode 12 to admit that he has never been an actual hybrid and doesn't have latent hybrid genes, with his "origins" being merely acts of expert engineering and a parasitic infection, respectively… and that Humans Are Special too and to Be Yourself.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
- 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 12th and final episode, Sparrow decides to leave behind his video camera and the footage within in New Life, saying whoever finds it can do what they want with it, including and not limited to making a movie out of it once it's cut together correctly, before dismissing this as just him talking to himself.
Literal-Minded: Calculating time in indeterminate units doesn't work on Sparrow as a Copper Golem, due to him having an in-built clock in his system.
Magic Pants: Lampshaded in Owen's 7th episode; after dying as a Copper Golem automaton and returning as a Sculk "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".
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: 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 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.
My God, What Have I Done?: At the end of Episode 11, Sparrow finally snaps out of his hybrid fascination when the Sculk 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 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.
Sparrow: I beg of you, do not open the gate. Let this be my tomb.
No Party Like a Donner Party: At the start of his 5th episode, while taking increasing amounts of damage while building, Sparrow looks towards one of the Copper Golems created by his machines as a food source, clearly contemplating the idea before shaking his head, saying he can't.
Professor Guinea Pig: How he loses his initial Human status, by testing his gene-splicing machine on himself. It somehow works.
Redemption Equals Death: At the end of Episode 11, Sparrow rigs the Ancient City to blow up with himself still in it after murdering his closest friend while Brainwashed and Crazy. Subverted with Owen's finale, which reveals he miraculously survived using a Totem of Undying.
Scientist Video Journal: The series is chronicled in-universe as Sparrow's video journals documenting his research trip and resultant findings.
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Believes this to be the case while holding the Sculk origin, and resolves to restrict access to the Ancient City as an important and "holy" site so the landlord won't evict them from life.

IGN: StacyPlays
Preferred name: Stacy

In Stacy's first life, she held the Strider origin. She was killed by Zombified Piglins after accidentally hitting one.

Animal Lover: As characteristic of most iterations of Stacy, she loves animals, sometimes even those hostile to her like Hoglins.
Brainy Brunette: Has brown hair in her default appearance and is excited by doing puzzles.
Fish out of Water: In real life, Stacy the content creator hasn't been playing much Minecraft in the past few years, and doesn't know much about the more recent updates; this lack of knowledge bleeds across to her character as well. She's also unfamiliar with the Create mod and is very surprised by the existence of Blaze burners.
Go Mad from the Isolation: As a Strider, since she's the only person on the server who actively resides in the Nether, she tends not to get many visitors in the more dangerous modded dimension, and even when she does, she's often not home at the time. By her 2nd episode, she's making a Copper Golem companion to play note blocks for her.
Stacy: We have all the entertainment! I can look at the window, I can be serenaded by Comment [the Copper Golem]–
(Comment presses a copper button on a note block)
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! I'm totally not going crazy in the Nether. What are you talking about?
Kill It with Water: As a Strider in her first life, water is hazardous to her and she has several close brushes with death because of it.
Punny Name: The skeletal chicken and Copper Golem in her Nether base are named 'Ike' and 'Comment', respectively, and are later confirmed to be a play on "I can comment".
