I've done it for lifesteal so I think I should do it for hermitcraft... sooo,, what I think every hermit would choose in infinite realms and (maybe) why.

warning, infinite realms spoilers lie ahead.

(any names or terms I use will be explained under cut/in a reply to this post)

Bdubs- classer 100% he would choose either a gardener based class, along the lines of Ender Ornn's one or he's a builder,,, (actually he could also be a formations master, which is cultivation but he might be that too.) His secondary is definitely skills though, no doubt, he probably advances them like Zenker does.

Cub- He would be a cultivator with a secondary focus as classer 'cause he wants the perks from it. Probably on a path based around speed and empowering himself.

Doc- he's a mainly a skill user with a secondary of cultivation. He's on a destructive path, like Ryun or Tali's main paths, his second path is formations, like Eratemus.

Etho- pure skills user, like zenker. Actually, quite like zenker, but he probably did it abit faster. He spent ages building his skills up and locking in parts of himself. He is most likely an explorer.

False- classer, with a sword based class. (I don't watch false sorry </3)

Gem- cultivator, like Anrosh but kinda better, she got her own inspiration. Uses class as secondary, finds it more useful. Main weapon is a sword. Uses a formation based secondary path.

gonna make this a multi-part thing, I wanna keep rereading the book >:3.

EXPLANATIONS. (some haven't come up yet it's just so I can just link this post to all of these & add any extras here too.)

classers get perks every 5(?) levels and get 6 stat points each time, 3 are allocated to their primary and secondary attributes and the other 3 are free. They get a class evolution every 60 levels (I think) and get a class defining perk 30 levels after that. Classes are based on achievements and influence from inside.

Cultivators advance through realms, starting at early mortal and finishing at peak eternal. Each realm has three stages, early, mid and peak. They require inspiration to advance through realms, inspiration can be shared but doing so cripples the cultivator to never be able to change techniques or gain their own inspiration again. Paths influence from outside.

Skills require understanding to advance, to advance a skill you must understand how it works and you must understand yourself. To make a tier 6 skill, you must lock in part of yourself, that part can't change.

Formations- essence arranged by a cultivator to do something, such as working as a TV or to send signals from place to place. They can do basically anything.

Focus madness- having focuses too close in tiers of power, pushing and pulling. Makes the holder insane, driven to do only what the core concepts of their, class/path and twists the wording of locked skills.

Essence- what everything in the infinite realm is made of literally, from the ground to the concept of space itself. It is also used as currency. Cultivators can pull it into their core, they can also pull only certain ones in based on their qi aspect.

Aspect- what taints a cultivator's qi.

Qi- power source of a cultivator.

Ranker- someone who comes from an iteration, their wasn't always part of the framework.

Framework- what gives the ability for classes, paths and skills to even exist.

Sect- a primarily cultivator faction.

Sect head- leader/owner of a sect.

Sect leader- helps the sect head run the sect.

Runes- like really simple formations, requires a part of your soul to be infused to work.

Twin aspects of true death- Formerly the aspect of true death itself. Also formerly held by Ryun and Melody. Currently held by Ryun and Selia.

Ender Ornn- Ender Ornn Dagada. Classer. Olriginally found by Kayra Ornn, with his garden. I think he was a ranker. Originally focus mad. Died to Ra' azel.

Zenker- Zenker Brokentail, a full skill user. Reached the peak of skills. Died to Hastur.

Ryun- Ryun Nacht Wol. Cultivator. 7th iteration ranker. Killed everyone on a planet besides Zacharia Gardener. One half of the twin aspects of true death (Reaper). Sect head of the Twilight Melody Sect. Alive.

Tali- Antalien Far Sola Wol. Cultivator. Ruler of the empty skys. Formerly crippled cultivator and slave, for about 500 years. Freed by Ryun. Alive??, captured by Ra'azel.

Anrosh- Anrosh Kesh Wol. Cultivator. Sect leader of the Twilight Melody Sect. Second in command. Raised by Ryun, after she asked, to protect the sect better. Alive.

Melody- Classer. Former Scythe of true death. Ryun's former partner. Killed by governor on earth. (unsure of last name)

Selia- Selia Ha Jhan-Ekoa. Cultivator. Current Scythe of true death. Alive.

Kayra Ornn- Kayra Ornn Dagada. Classer. 3rd iteration ranker. Formerly of House Ornn in the 3rd empire. currently of the Dagada family in the Twilight Melody Sect. Alive.

Ra' azel- Yeti of a old framework attempt. Otherwise known as the Runesmith. Freed by Zacharia Gardener. Absolute menace (/hj)

Hastur- 11th dome leader. Based on lovecraftian horror.

Zacharia Gardener- Classer. 7th iteration ranker. Formerly the No.1 Ryun Nacht hater. Oldest chosen in the infinite realm. Got stuck in a mind-palace for 5000 years and can't remember most before it. Alive.

(all terms used will be explained under cut)

also major spoilers, for infinte realms in this post, I make alot of refs to the characters in it!!!

Zam- Class as main, Level 318. With cultivation as secondary, early heavenly. Has 6 tier six skills. Has focus madness, his focuses are all in combat related paths, also has a pilfering class for the first 2 evolutions.

Spoke- Cultivation main, mid acended, has his inspiration for eternal since peak immortal, wants to get the most out of cycling so hasnt advanced. Skills as secondary, 3 tier six skills, 5 tier five skills.

Vitalasy- Only skills, 9 tier eight skills. Grasp of the void, is close to becoming a sage of the void.

Subz- Only skills, 3 tier eight, 5 tier seven. Sage of the void.

Vortex- Class only, level 281. Is considering taking a secondary, is unsure on which one to choose.

4cvit- Cultivation main, peak heavenly. Skills secondary, 3 tier 6 skills, 4 tier 3s.

Mid- Skills only, tier nine skill. Her skills were 92% compatible and her will is by far the strongest on the server. Has formed the way of the wind.

Jumper- Class main, level 239. Skills secondary, 5 tier six skills, 5 tier 5 skills and 2 tier 7 skills.

Minute- Class main, level 360. No secondary.

Mapic- Cultivation main, mid eternal, he is one of the only cultivators who cycle properly. Skills secondary, 3 tier seven skills, 4 tier six skills. Had a pilfering class but had to remove it due to imbalance madness.

Ro- Class main, level 357, took a quest from the dealmaker for his 360 (immortal) evolution. Cultivation secondary, mid Lord, hasn't decided on a second path and so hasn't advanced.

Parrot- Skills main, but like in a Zenker way, hasn't advanced all his tier seven skills to tier eight due to worrying about them not being compatible enough for his tier nine skill. Could do it easily though. No secondary.

Bacon- Class main, level 239, hasn't gotten an evolution he wants for 240 yet, is considering taking a dealmaker quest for one. Secondary skills, 3 tier five skills, 4 tier three.

Planet- Cultivation main, peak immortal, hasn't gained inspiration for evolved realm yet but is very close go a breakthrough. Class secondary, level 89, doesn't want to risk imbalance or push it yet.

Jaron- Class level 540, but like specifically an alchemical class with only one early evolution in combat related stuff. cultivation secondary, peak lord, with a formation based path. He is incredibly proficient in his two crafts (alchemy and formations).

Poafa- Cultivation main, Early evolved, has a sky related path which is similar to Tali's paths. His evolved form is a cloud like being, sort of like that cloud monster from the first book. No secondary yet, is considering skills.

Red- Skills main, 3 tier seven skills, 5 tier six skills. Has a cultivation secondary, peak lord, has a formation based path with many layers of formations on himself. Is learning runes, the ones from Ra' azel, he made the deal.

Woogie- Cultivation main, peak heavenly, is almost immortal realm. Class secondary, level 89, for imbalance reasons.

Mrcube- Cultivation main, early acended, formations master type of path. Skills secondary, 3 tier six skills, 3 tier four skills, most of his skills help with his formation making. (He's like Eratmus level good at formations.)

Ash- Class main, level 540, part of his oath is sorta Awirren-like in that he did not give up all of his sanity but he did give up some of it, along with his awakened weapon, for more power. Ash uses the aspect of change and has the grasp of change title. The dealmaker likes him, cannot show bias though.

Pangi- Class main, level 359. Secondary cultivation, mid lord. Relies heavily on regeneration but is not a true regenerator as he still has endurance.

Branzy- Cultivation main, peak ascended, has a crafter based path and is incredibly strong, doesn't have any combat perks. Has some weak skills which help with his craft, aswell as 1 tier 8 skill.

Clown- Early eternal realm cultivator, necromancer, but in the Eratmus way, branzy helps him with his formations on his vessels. Has some low level skills, just reached eternal realm.

Spep- Level 240 classer, has an adventuring based class. Mid lord secondary focus, for the true body.

Terrain- Peak immortal realm, path is like gemheart's (geomancy) he's like really strong and has incredibly high endurance. Some low level skills aswell as 2 tier six skills.

Explanations plus extras under cut

Cultivation- First stage is early mortal peak of cultivation is peak eternal. Uses essence -> Qi as power.

Class- First is well,, level 1 peak is level 540; you get an oath at this level where you can sacrifice some things and gain more powers in return. Uses stamina as power.

Skills- lowest tier skill is tier 1 peak tier is tier 9. You have to combine 2 skills for a tier 7 and 3 for a tier 8 then all for a tier 9 (I think). Uses willpower as power.

Imbalance/ focus madness- when your focuses are too spread out you lose yourself and become insane. You can fix it by removing a focus, sometimes skills can temporarily help though not always if you don't word it correctly.

Sage of the ____- Having a complete understanding of an aspect.

Way of the _____- Shape an aspect to be only your understanding of it.

Aspect- Basically just the type of Qi/ essence people use to tint their focuses.

Formations- basically things that can imbue power into another item.

Dealmaker- A guy (basically a god just below the three) who you can go to the realm of to make deals for different things.

The three- the gods who created the infinite realm.

Immortality- Cultivation; Immortal realm. Class; between level 300-360 (though I swear zach got his at 240, wiki might be wrong.) Skills; three tier seven skills.

Zenker- A skills user who was known for wandering alone and finding new things, he was incredibly powerful and killed many monsters.

Tali- A ascended realm cultivator, she was a slave for 300 years due to Awirren ambushing her and almost killing her. Her paths are both destruction and sky related, she uses bond and sky Qi.

Awirren- she got focus madness, and was crippled by Tali before they knew not to share inspiration. So she started using a class and leveled to 540, she is insane.

Runes- another form of power, uses peices of the soul to power them. Taught by Ra' azel.

Ra' azel- A yeti who is very insane for power, was locked up until was released. Obsessed with killing souls to give himself more power. Was in an old version of the framework.

Eratmus- a necromancer and formations master. (He's fucking so cool I love him!!!!)

Infinite realms wiki.

Lifesteal worldhoppers au and infinite realms crossover au!

-=⚫️=-

Ryun was doing his rounds around the sect when he heard, or moreso felt a vibration from the mountains near where the shrine of absolute cold was. He decided to get closer so he could hear what the noise was, as he got closer he felt some vibrations from the mountains which resembled voices.

He decided to sit in a tree just far enough away that he wouldn't be spotted and focused his |of Targeted Resonance Sense| on the voices. Listening in to figure out their purpose.

-=⬛️🟨=-

"What the hell Spoke, why would you not check where we were going before deciding using the random portal Ash of all people made. We both knew it wouldn't be stable." Zam half yelled as he looked around the area.

It seemed they were in a snowy mountain, yet the cold was alot chillier than usual snow. The chills made Zam change into his goat form so he could stand more of the cold.

"You literally came with me, I'm not the only one responsible for this." Spoke retorted.

"Whatever, we'll we kind of need to find out where we are now.."

Just as they said that they saw a shadow from above rapidly decending to them.

-=⚫️=-

Ryun had heard what he needed to from afar, it was clear that the two were not meant to be in the infinite realm. For one it was not time for the eight iteration to arrive and for seconds he knew from their conversation that they did not know about the framework.

He had decided he would give the two a scare, using his Twilight Shaping Cast he made disks of oblivion in the air jumping across them.

As he got closer to the ground he slowed his fall, activated his Reaper's Aura and focused it on them.

-=⬛️=-

"What the fuck" he thought as dread instilled within him. Looking over at Zam for less than a second he could tell it had hit him too.

A man with cracks filled with black, silver and abit of purple decended infront of them. His eyes were nothing but a void, they were fully black with slight shimmers resembling stars.

Suddenly the dread that had filled him moments ago and the man laughed. It was clear to him who caused it in the first place now.

-=⚫️=-

Ryun looked at the two beings infront of him. From what he could make out using both his |of Targeted Resonance Sense| and his limited sight his Astral Eyes provided him he could make out a few details. The first guy was partially a goat type being and the second seemed to be a type of gas. Ryun could see mainly flesh and blood essence in the goat looking being and darkness essence filled the gas, which had seemingly been shaped to look like a human. The same way he had thanks to his soul.

After he had studied the two enough he spoke.

"So, who are you." He asked looking at the two directly in their eyes.

"It is clear that you are not from here as I happened to overhear your conversation moments ago."

-=⬛️🟨=-

Zam and Spoke looked from the man to eachother in quick succession before answering his question. Spoke nodded to Zam and proceeded to answer.

"Your right that we are not from here, but our friend has been trying worldhopping... And well forgot to set a destination for his portal. So here we are."

The man looked between the two and nodded his head.

He sighed and spoke "Well first off we are going out of here. I can tell you both cannot handle the absolute cold, so let's head down to my territories."

"Where even are we?" Zam asked the man.

"You are currently in my sect, the Twilight Mellody sect, world wise though you are in the infinite realm. We are headed towards Wolve's Grove currently."

For the first time Spoke noticed that the man had not been breathing this whole time. He was about to question when the man spoke again.

"Ah my apologies I'm yet to introduce myself.. I'm Ryun Nacht, who may you be?"

Spoke looked up and down at the man, Ryun and responded.

"I'm Spoke and This is my... brother Zam."

-=⚫️=-

Ryun wondered to himself and decided to reach out to Selia about the two he was bringing to the sect. "I found to people in the mountains, they are not from this world and do not know of the framework." He sent to her internally. "We are currently headed to Wolve's Grove could you ask someone to prepare them a guest room" he added as a second thought.

Turning back to the two he decided he would ask them some simple questions.

"So where are you both from?" He asked.

"Well we've both spent the most time in Genesis and Lifesteal, we technically don't have a home world though.." Zam answered, honestly, Ryun noted that that had earned him a glare from Spoke.

"Anyways, we're here now. Let's head to the guest rooms and I'll explain how we operate."

-=⬛️🟨=-

Zam looked around Wolves Grove ther were so many people wandering around, hundreds if not thousands filled the town. He noticed the amount of respect Ryun got from the citizens, then remembering that Ryun had said it was his sect. Whatever that meant.

Ryun walked up to a man and exchanged a few words before motioning to Zam and Spoke to follow.

There were many types of people in the town which had made them not stick out as much. Zam was silently thankful for that since he was still a goat, and well Spoke was well.. Spoke.

Ryun suddenly motioned at a door before speaking.

"This is where you will be staying. You are guests to the sect and will be expected to act as such. Ofcourse you do not know what that means but I will explain in a moment."

Spoke blinked, before asking "What even is a sect?"

"Oh, ofcourse. You are both new here, a sect is a place which is usually made up of only cultivators. Though our sect also has some classers within it. Mainly the third iteration people. Anrosh will be over soon, she is alot better at this sect stuff than me, she is one of the sect leaders.. My second in command."

The three sat in silence for a moment before Zam spoke.

"You realise we literally have no clue about what any of this is right? We literally just arrived here and are not from a world that has any of this shit."

"Oh right. A cultivator is someone who uses cultivation as their focus. Cultivation is a way of reinforcing your mind and body, it is my focus and is what a sect is based around.

A class is a easier more direct way to power. A classer has three abilities which can be upgraded based on a branching path. I do not know much about classes as I do not use one.

Finally a skill is a path to greater understanding you can evolve a skill by understanding it." Ryun explained as someone came around the corner.

Without turning Ryun spoke, "Hello Anrosh and Nayara."

"Hi Ryun, someones being a teacher here, who are the two guests?" One of the women, Anrosh spoke.

She had red skin and white hair, her skin was covered in intricate icy lines and patterns. She wore a simple outfit in the same colours and style as Ryun's. Beside her a human woman with light skin and firey ginger hair also wearing clothing of the same style and colours walked, their hands clasped in eachother, assumingly Nayra.

-=🕒=-

After Ryun had left them alone with Anrosh and Nayra which from what they had gathered were dating.

Suddenly Spoke realised something and asked a question, praying he wouldn't be considered insane for it. "Okay so, weird question. Can you respawn here? Like infinitely?"

-=🧊🔥=-

Anrosh and Nayra exchanged glances, they knew that the two weren't of the framework. But respawning? Noone could do that, especially not immediately, immortals took days at best to come back.

"Hmm, no we cannot," Anrosh answered. "Though immortals can come back after some time, like for mine my body needs to be placed in a place in a spot of absolute cold for 7 days before the 12 days are up or I move on to the afterlife."

Anrosh looked at the two, her eyes following from Spoke over to Zam. she took note of their reactions. Oddly enough the two had seemed surprised by her response which raised some questions about where they were from.

-=🕒⚫️=-

Ryun sat upon his house. Anrosh and Nayara had left their guests to allow them time to settle in.

They ofcourse would have no idea of his skill, or any of his other perks and abilities for that matter.. Making using it on them almost too easy if he was to be honest.

But he was learning about them, and that would help him tremendously in the long run....

okay I'm almost done designing chaos god au people for now :3 But ash !!

[etho-slabbers]

I finally have a havoc and spoke design I'm happy with for this au (now just ashswag left and mapic but he wont differ too much from my normal design)

[etho-slabbers]

Takes place at the start of the wormhole era of season five. When the first bedrock was being placed.

---=🟨=---

Chaos was surprised to say the least, this sudden burst of energy and no idea why.

Well he had some idea, it had to be one of the other lifestealers, most likely Mapic, Ro, Slaughter.. Ash or his brother Havoc.. Spoke.

However unsure of the reasoning, he decided to change out of his human body back into his own one. His plan was to check on any suspects and see what they were up to.

Going invisible Chaos decided to first check on Mapic and Ro as it would most likely kill two birds with one stone since they were mostly together.

The two seemed to be just acting as normal, with no unusual occurrences happening. This left him to check on Ash and Spoke.

Chaos decided to check in on Ash, the only other player who knew of he and Havoc's status. Ash was a demigod and the two had met him in lifesteal immediately sensing that fact.

Chaos decided changing mostly back into his human body would be best to visit ash. Taking his mask off once he found Ash he decided he would go to talk to the demigod.

Dropping to the ground beside Ash to announce his presence, Zam whispered "hi" into his ear.

"Hi Zam." Ash casually replied. "Why no mask today?"

"Oh you know, you feel alot more powerful than usual you tend to want to know the source!" Zam answered rather unhelpfully.

"You can check that with the mask on there has to be an actual reason."

"Okay fine, I went into my true body today and well I wore the mask on the way to you but I wanted to be able to see properly. Have you been doing much recently, it's either you or Havoc causing the energy boost."

"So, you went to see what I was doing before your own brother? Sounds about right."

"Yeahhh, I have to call him to a meeting, tracking that idiot down is basically impossible so yeah. He's my last stop. Anyways you haven't answered my question."

"Mmmh nothing our of the usual from me. I mean if I was to guess Havoc is probably doing something stupid."

"Okay, thank you Slaughter, I'll see you around!"

That left meeting with Spoke for him to plan. Taking out his comm he messaged him to meet.

---=🕒=---

"Hi Havoc, what have you been up to?" spoke Chaos.

"Oh you know the usual, why would you ask?" replied Havoc, a hint of mischief in his tone.

"You know exactly why, the fucking power boost out of seemingly nowhere, I went and looked at Mapic and Ro it wasn't them and I went to speak with Slaughter and it wasn't him either."

"Okay, okay you've got me.. You'll see what I'm up to soon."

[etho-slabbers]

I did some character design for chaos gods au :3

Zam

Spoke

anything seen on the spoke page is not final and will most likely be changed.

[etho-slabbers]

Chaos gods au,

tw for cannibalism after this ---=🕒🟥=--- break till the end.

---=🟥=---

Mapic had practically ran back to his base. Booking it out of there the moment the Havoc and Chaos had let him go. He considered going to Bacon and Parrot for help, but Mapic needed someone who would actually do something with him to stir the pot with him.

Which is how he ended up on the phone with Spoke planning a fourth of July party with the intent to kill someone.

---=🟨⬛️=---

Zam was dying of laughter. Mapic had decided to call up Spoke about helping him with the task he and Spoke had set for Mapic.

The two were relaxing in Lala land in the night when Spoke's comm started ringing. It was Mapic, Spoke looked over to zam and blinked rapidly, allowing some of his extra eyes out to emphasise his suprise.

Hiding his eyes once again he answered the call, Zam had had to go outside since his giggling was too loud and Spoke didn't want Mapic to hear him.

Zam realised he could just go back to his own base and knocked on the door where Spoke was. "Yes Planet..." Spoke sighed. Death staring Zam as he did so, which caused Zam to perfectly mimic Planet's voice to speak.

"Oh are you busy?" Zam asked.

"Yes Planet I'm busy." Spoke aggressively whisper shouted.

"Oh okay ima go do something else then!" Zam said to Spoke as he mouthed that be was heading back to his base

---=🕒🟥=---

Mapic was confused to say the least. Ever since be had taken the two gods' deal, Zam and Spoke seemed much more interested in what he was doing. Almost as though they knew about the deal.

No. How would they know? There was no way THOSE two knew about the deal.

But what if they did? Would it affect his prize?

Mapic was basically eating himself worrying. Which is why he realised he hadn't had a good meal since the end of last season. He couldn't ask Bacon as he was well... Made of bacon and so wouldn't give Mapic the refreshment he needed.

Parrot was a bird and tasted about the same as chicken with blood, which while the blood made up for the chicken taste he wanted a good meal.

Mapic thought back to his team from last season when he got hungry they would let him feed. Some more than others to be fair. Spoke had let him like once or twice, though he left a charcoal-like after taste was nice enough. Zam would always let Mapic eat when he was on the team, Zam was indescribable, too sweet to be human, to meaty to be sweets. Ro had always let mapic eat, Ro was also the easiest taste to describe, he tasted as a person should, which for some reason was incredibly rare on lifesteal.

---=🟨=---

*Knock* *Knock*

Zam sighed assuming it was Spoke. "Hhhaav---Spoke I told you that you can just come in." he basically groaned.

Seconds later he heard dirt breaking and a plot into some water. Turning around it infact was not Spoke, it was Mapic.

"Why did you think I was Spoke?" Mapic asked, not managing to hide the slight bit of confusion in his voice.

"Oh! Spoke owes me something for covering for him earlier!" Zam rambled happily.

"Oh and before you ask, he owes a block of netherite for a reason I will not say." (It was the planet thing)

"Anyways Mapic what brings you to our cove?" Zam asked, clearly putting on an act of a pirate.

"Okay, one stop the act and two, I'm hungry and I can't find Ro and also my teammates have food they taste like. I don't want to eat chicken or bacon." He stated.

"Oh.... I see." Zam half muttered.

"You remember the rule?"

"Yes I do," Mapic sighed and rolled his eyes. "No head eating since you seem to think it won't respawn with you."

"Yup!" Zam smiled.

---=🕒⬛️=---

[Princezam was slain by Mapicc]

Spoke was immediately confused by this message. It meant one of two things, the two had another falling out or Mapic was hungry.

Picking up his comm he messaged Zam to ask.

---=🟨🟥=---

Moments after the death message appeared in chat, Zam's comm pinged. Zam looked at it from his bed deciding to temporarily ignore it.

"Hey Mapic, uhmm the heart please?" zam asked, or more accurately demanded after he had allowed Mapic to turn back to him.

[etho-slabbers]

Chaos gods zam and spoke fic cause I'm insane.

*Ping*

The sound of a comm vibrated from within his pocket. For a moment he considered ignoring it. Only to pick it up seconds later, Pangi could be in danger.

To his suprise it was not pangi who had messaged him. It was his brother. All he sent was a set of coords. Short and simple, as usual. If they were to talk they would do it face to face.

He left Pangi a message letting him know he'd be back soon before leaving. Lucky for him even if pangi was to spot the two brothers talking it wouldn't be unusual, seeing how they were allied.

---=⬛️=---

Spoke sighed, hoping his brother would arrive to their temporary meeting spot, it was a safe(ish) place in a sealed off cave on the outskirts of Lala land. Humming to himself, he remembered to message his brother to break down at the coords.

About 5 minutes later he heard footsteps approach the cave and a shovel digging through the earth. He greeted his brother with a smile and a firm handshake.

"Zam!" he exclaimed in no more than a whisper. The two had not seen eachother since the destruction which was the end of season four, if you weren't to count the season five starting circle.

---=⬛️🟨=---

Zam expected no less of his brother than an ending like that. Though he did expect the meeting area to be even slightly decorated to their standards.

Spoke stood still for just a moment before the god of chaos decided to change into his less than humanoid form. Ercking Zam to join him.

So the other god of chaos took the offer joining spoke in his unhumanly form. His singular eye blinked somewhat expectantly.

"So you couldn't even decorate, the slightest bit for a meeting." Chaosp states. "Not only do you get us to meet in a human realm, then you make it an undecorated cave." He somewhat angrly exclaims.

Havoc being the guy he is simply rolls his multiple eyes at Chaos, before finally explaining the reasoning for the meeting.

He was just bored, the server was at too much peace and it had been draining him out. Chaos nodded, the two needed chaos to gain energy. Which had made lifesteal the obvious choice to live in.

---=🟥=---

Strange voices echoed from the ground below Mapic, seemingly arguing about something or other. If not just discussing.

Unfortunately Mapic couldn't understand the language in which they spoke and for some reason decided to dig towards the echoing voices.

All of a sudden he falls into a large cave. Infront of two entites. The two entites just stop talking and stare at Mapic. Seonds later the one with a lighter colour scheme and a singular eye turns to the one with many eyes and a darker colourscheme and just begins yelling in the same language as earlier solidifying Mapics idea that they were the ones making he noises above the surface.

---=⬛️🟨=---

Chaos turns to Havoc and immediately begin yelling about how Mapic had found them over his dumb meetup spot. Havoc half apologied, in the least sincere way possible.

Suddenly Havoc had an idea, turning to Chaos and quickly saying something.

---=🟥=---

The two entites turned back to Mapic. Mapic stared at them, pure confusion in his two eyes.

The one with many eyes began to speak. Mapic at first assumed he wouldn't understand it. But to his suprise the entity had began speaking English.

---=⬛️🟨=---

Havoc spoke, making his voice echo around the room while also stopping any noise from escaping the cave.

"Mapic," He began. "To put it simple, we're bored. The server has been at peace for far too long. And it's our job to stir that."

Mapic looked at Havoc and Chaos confusion still visible on his face. He asked "How on earth would I be any help?"

Chaos this time began, "You unlike literally like half the server have some amount of competence with starting stuff, we saw you and Roshambo's work last season. It helped us, alot."

---=🟥=---

The entity with the darker colourscheme turned to the other and began speaking once again in that language that Mapic had no understanding of. Well moreso yelling.

The brighter entity turned back to Mapic, ignoring the other. "Apologies for Havoc, he has a disagreement with me on that, anyways! Mapic.. I think you and Roshambo's work was fantastic last season, no matter how much Havoc disagrees."

Havoc had stopped yelling by now and was now speaking once again. "So now that Chaos has so kindly taken us incredibly off topic, I may aswell bring it back around."

"Anyways! Chaos are you done? So anyways Mapic, the offer. We will leave a note in a chest at your base when we feel work being done." Havoc spoke, putting a stop between the two's argument.

"Oh shut up Havoc." Chaos butted in.

---=⬛️🟨=---

Mapic spoke up "So like is there a mutual benefit to this or do you just expect me to do free labor for you?"

"Uhhmmm, I expected him to be in too much shock to ask for payment." Havoc said, slightly agitated.

"Well? What ok earth do you want me to do?," Chaos somewhat aggressively replied.

"I don't know man, what the fuck can we pay him?" Havoc replied.

"Parrot will kill us if he realises we gave him a god item, so that's off the charts."

"What if we just tell him our identities? It doesn't harm anyone and he gets something out of it," Chaos suggests.

--=🟥=--

The two turned back to him.

"So like, payment right?" Mapic asked.

"Yes payment, so, if you do our deed, we will tell you our identities. Think about it, knowing the identity of two gods. Doesn't it sound delightful?" Havoc stated.

"Yeah, I guess that's good enough." Mapic replied.

"Now, go plot something for us." Havoc said, half hushing Mapic out of the cave.

---=⬛️🟨=---

"Meeting adjourned?" Chaos asked.

"Yeah, though we should probably wait a moment before leaving, Mapic might still be up there." Havoc responded.

"Yeah fair, now I'm fucking changing back into my human form." Chaos said, while doing so.

Havoc quickly followed suit.

"Now to see if he does his job.."

"How many people have you killed zam?"

"I-I don't keep track, it would be to much to keep track..."

Let's explore that, aswell as zam saying hollow Knight is kaboodle smp.

Basically I made zam the little hollowknight vessel guy you play in the game :3.

×××---==---×××

If anyone were to ask, Zam would say he was from the nether, Netharian if you will. If you were to ask anyone in his colony wether he was netherian they too would say so, Delilah included.

However there was one thing the nether colony would say about Zam that he himself would not. Such as calling him an illegitimate king, a disgraceful king or maybe worst of all, an assassin.

Zam was not an assassin, a killer maybe but not an assassin. There was two other things Zam was not truly, one was a king and two was a Netharian.

Zam for one was far too short to match the hights most netharians met. For seconds, Zam wasn't even from the nether, he had wandered through a portal one day whilst exploring the outskirts of Hallownest. So he went through it, thinking it would lead to a new area he could explore. It did not and he ended up in the nether with no way out back home.

Zam being used to killing to get literally anywhere in life, aswell as for abit of adrenaline, decided to explore and came across a colony. The king of which had ordered him to be killed as he was trespassing, not that he had any clue what that was, he was only a vessel.

So being the murderous little vessel he was he swung at his opponents with his nail, killing them all gracefully and quickly.

Soon he realised that he needed a position of power in this world and so the vessel too killed the king and with noone to take over the King's position the vessel appointed himself as king.

There was one netherian in the colony which had taken his interest more than others as she grew up. He had found out her name was Delilah, Delilah had no idea of how zam had became king, as far as she was aware the two were the same age.

Since becoming king zam had made himself a new round, yellow mask, adorned with horns that matched his old one aswell as a crown showing he was king. The only other details on the mask were a carefully carved smile which had eye matching in size to his old one.

Zam, incase you were confused, did not throw out his old mask and infact he had kept it on him at all times as it reminded him of his home.

---=🕒=---

Zam and Delilah had been exploring the nether for abit when Delilah spotted a purple thing in the distance. Zam had recognised the portal by now and had decided to play dumb, hoping it would take him home.

The two ran over to the portal to investigate, the knight the king almost instantly suggested going through, Delilah was slightly taken aback by her king's request. Though she saw no issue with it and agreed.

What she did see however was a change in Zam's entire demeanor, he went from a rather pensive and on guard state to having a more confident and ready to kill aura radiating off of him.

Sure Delilah has seen Zam kill before but she had never seen him this sure of himself in all the time she's known him.

---=🌄=---

A portal appeared infront of the campfire and just moments later a pair of netherians appeared through it.

Everyone in the camp was instantly intrigued by the new netherians' presence. Though that was quickly broken by one of the two of them attacking Ivory.

(i don't wanna rewrite all of the stuff that happened sooo another timeskip)

---=🕒=---

"How many people have you killed Zam?"

"I-I don't keep track, it would be to much to keep track..."

That's all he told Kab, the didn't lie to her. Save for the fact he had mentioned that he didn't like killing moments prior.

Though if you think about it, there was a loophole with that lie too. Not that Zam planned on breaking his act any time soon.

---=💙=---

Kab was enjoying her time with Zam, unlike the other netherians he seemed somewhat different. More willing to adapt to the overworld, which while he freaked out about new things quite abit, it was nice.

Though asking how many he had killed may have been a mistake. Especially with Zam's answer. It's not every day you see a person (if he even counted as a person) admit to killing a countless number of people, much less it seemingly not effecting them whatsoever.

Kab had killed a single person, on accident and that was too much for her. Whereas, Zam had killed who knows how many with no effect on his conscious. Kab couldn't understand it.

---=🟨🕒=---

"You want me to go in that?" Zam asked, a slight bit of hatred lined his tounge.

As soon as he saw the substance, he remembered many flashbacks of a burning liquid with an almost identical appearance. There was no way in hell Zam was going to go into that, atleast not without someone else going into that stuff first.

The vessel eventually agreed to go into the tube of water, flinching as he did so. The stuff was horrible, weighing down his suit and making moving far harder. Zam wanted to get out of this horrible substance, it was cold, heavy and surprisingly wasn't killing him.

Sticking through it as he needed to find Delilah, she had to be somewhere. Zam had no idea where the Ivo guy had put her. He needed to find her before she might get hurt.

I love how mapic and zam were messaging eachother about most decisions during the finale and and the like 2 days leading up to it (aka whenever they teamed up).

(examples under readmore)

Any worries? They either messaged eachother it or got in a vc and talked about it till they were both happy about an outcome.

Like when zam was after vcing with parrot and afterwards spoke wasn't there so zam instead of waiting and saying while spoke was there he immediately told mapic everything and they both came to a conclusion to confront spoke (with the help of mapic I will not lie). So mapic started the confrontation and asked spoke about it then zam told everything that happened while in the call and asked if parrot was lying.

Then when they were nervous about Spoke betraying they sat in a call and talked about it and while we're both equally as worried by the end of it, had decided that Spoke had no reason to betray them.

Then when they won and afterwards they spoke again after spoke was "banned" saying how they were disappointed that even after everything they did for him, he still chose to trust vi and Ash more than them.

Any decisions? Mapic usually started it but they like always were dming eachother to see if they had an agreement.

Like they came to the agreement to not ban themselves after considering to do so when spoke did. Like they both decided, "we want to make sure everyone else is gone first."

The jumping into the holes, mapic dmed zam about doing so and zam at first didn't understand. But when he did they both waited for spoke to finish, then mapic began speaking and everyone else began panicking about what they were doing. But they did it anyways.

If they needed help? They helped eachother.

Specifically when zam was needing help (going to die) he immediately looked for mapic who did come to his aid and made sure he was okay. Even when he did so still coming over to zam to see him and making sure zam saw him too.

Backing eachother up?

Zam getting a message from mapic saying about shitting on vi's speech as he immediately decided it was going to be a load of nothing. So when vi was done his whole friendship is magic speel, mapic began just fucking tearing into him while zam got everyone to shut up and listen to him.

Accomplishing their mission?

Mapic immediately asking zam if "that counts" when everyone got banned off of ls, and zam saying I think so..

I definitely forgot something but oh well, in summary... I love the princezam mapic team up as they are just such good teammates.

What about an au where ranboo gets reprogrammed after their death and instead of getting rid of the box. They wrap him with wires and stick some in for reprogramming and he becomes a second security monster.

Also what if the security wire monster was a past actor who also died very gruesomely and showfall was just too lazy to clean it up.

But back to ranboo, they die, they think its the end. Then get completely reset and reprogrammed to be a mindless security monster

thinking about if a ban scar can't heal and death scars heal slowly overtime, however scars and cuts you get from fights or otherwise can be healed by gapples or pots rapidly.

Now this is usually enough to deter people from experiments involving bans, much less repeatedly.

But team awesome had found something out and were going to use it even though they needed to repeatedly ban each other, they didn't care. It was for their gain in the end, what was a few scars gonna do. They tried to only stab in one or two spots as to not completely cover themselves in scars. But one affect of being banned and revived so much in quick succession is that the universe didn't see them being banned as a rare or important moment and because of that their scars began really slowly healing.

It took awhile for it to be noticeable but, all their ban scars from the duping onwards would slowly heal as long as it wasn't a scar to the skin above a vital organ.

Their death scars also would heal slightly quicker than usual. This is why mapic wasn't too worried about repeatedly killing zam at the castle, he would heal fully in a day or two. Also ro and mapic weren't worried about putting him down to two hearts then subsequently banning him and reviving him the next day. He would heal. And would heal quicker than normal.

Au where lifesteal go to genesis.

-Long ramble ahead-

First off I like the idea that Spoke and zam both can server hop whereas most people cannot without help of an admin. So there is only one of them but there is also, 2 woogies, 2 pangis, 2 reds, 2 ashs and 2 terrains.

So Spoke and zam have to come up with an elaborate lie to everyone about how they don't know what lifesteal is and act all confused about it. They let ratrick in on their little secret (mainly zam let ratrick in after some convincing spoke) and the three of them would go hide in the corner of the world border at bedrock giggling about how confused the lifestealers were about where 'their' zam and spoke were.

After getting bored they decided to ask ratrick to cover for them being gone to do some stuff in the nether if anyone were to ask. So then they get into their lifesteal outfits and appear at the spawn via help of ratrick's puppet. They just act very confused about where they are.

The first lifestealer to find them is mapic who is surprised to see zam and spoke show up after a week without them. He was honestly relieved, most of his entertainment came from the two of them, and while this server zam and spoke were quite similar to his ones, spoke seemed more of a chaotic silly guy, killing mapic or the genesis zam at any given chance. Mapic was so grateful for not losing any hearts on this server.

Zam and spoke both just looked at eachother rather excitedly as mapic approached them. They both knew they couldn't afford to give away their secret but zam, being a shapeshifter just looked at spoke, smiled and grew a tiny goat's tail as mapic came over.

They all said hi and highfived eachother before mapic offered to explain everything he knew about this server so far. They both agreed to listen to mapic about the server as spoke stiffled a giggle. Mapic explained everything from everyone on this server having weird powers which they called origins. To which the admin within zam sighed about mapic not knowing how the origins stuff worked, eventhough he knew it was not his fault that he didn't know about it. Anyways, mapic also mentioned how a couple people had doubles on the server, including them!

Zam then had the funny idea to ask mapic if he and spoke could meet their doubles. Mapic decided to lead them over to zam and ratricks base, where ratrick was (ofcourse alone). Zam caught ratrick's eye and did a little cheeky smile before turning back away to mapic.

The three of them went over to ratrick and asked about their doubles, while ratrick, zam and spoke were very poorly stiffling laughter. Ratrick told mapic the nether story before turning away and silently laughing. Mapic was very confused by the other three's actions and once they left ratrick asked spoke and zam what the fuck happened in there.

This for some reason made zam ask for a minute and the two of them left mapic alone thinking about whatever just happened as he saw the zam and spoke run away and leave.

Zam and spoke meanwhile went behind the mountain of the princeratrick base and dug in before running over to ratrick. They didn't need to discuss with him but ratrick being their cover story, they went to him anyway.

In the end they decided that they would tell mapic and come up with a new, better lie. Which was since zam was this server's admin he had taken spoke on an offworld trip with him.

In the end zam and spoke snuck up behind mapic and proceeded to grab him before dragging him to one of the corners of the border. Zam then slightly expanded the border and reshrunk it so they were ever so slightly outside the border. This obviously confused mapic since, how did zam do that, he's not the server admin.

The two forced mapic to sit down and told him they had alot to explain. before both running in opposite directions and spoke changed his form (I never mentioned before but spoke is basically a humanoid shaped pile of gas) and zam shape-shifting back into their orgins forms before reappearing.

They then told mapic how there was only one of the both of them and zam proceeded to rapidly change animal to show he was a shapeshifter. Spoke also was just unforming and reforming himself from gas.

Zam then pulled out the admin panel and asked mapic if he wanted to have an origin before showing him a list of free origins. Zam also mentioned he couldn't show anyone besides him, spoke and ratrick the origin if he took one. So he decided against it, what was the point if he couldn't boast to ro.

Then zam told mapic the new lie as the two changed back into their lifesteal forms. Then they went over to the princeratrick base to tell ratrick that he didn't need to lie to mapic about them. To which mapic realised that ratrick knew before he did, so he jokingly yelled at zam and spoke.

might add more on later done for now though!

[etho-slabbers]

Zam and spoke are world hoppers, this is a secret they keep from the whole server. Parrot included.

But what is a world hopper, basically they can hop between servers freely and as much as they want without the help of an admin. This is special as, usually you need to ask the server admin to leave a server so that they can leave you into a hub. World hoppers can do so with free-will without needing any help.

Zam is also a shapeshifter, he uses this to change his appearance between worlds, which helps him look clearly different if he was to run into one of another server's one of his friends.

Also each server has a different version of a person, so like genesis redd and ls redd while Kings planet and ls planet are also different. Anyway, back on topic::

Spoke is basically a sentient peice of gas formed into a usually humanoid shape, this makes him really good at hiding in small areas. Aswell as scaling areas fast by just reforming his shape. He like zam changes his appeal between worlds, just alot more subtly.

Something else the two have in common is their ability to stay in a character, and act the part to a tee. They just do whatever seems the most fun at the time at the start of a server. Then they usually stick to it unless they begin to go insane with boredom then they will slowly change the character over a period of time.

The two sometimes also hop into a private server together to laugh at eachothers acts on servers. They also end up having to cover for eachother if anyone mentions their disappearance.

They also from server hopping have a dampened sense of consequences, especially speaking of death. This mainly is a problem on lifesteal as they often forget about the heart mechanic if they were recently on another server. Causing them to be quite careless with death, a prime example is zam forgetting fall damage exists after being on genesis and falling from a high place cause of it.

When going to events, if they are the only from the server they are currently on in the event, they will just go. But if there are other for example, lifestealers in the event they would go to parrot along with the others to go the other server.

Also, whichever server the gods consider the best version of someone is the "main" iteration and so that is the one that gets event invites.
