* CanonImmigrant: The concept of the Watchers is taken from the Evolution SMP (more commonly known as Evo), an SMP that ran from October 2017 to November 2018. It was run by Grian, and included many people who are now members of the Life series, including Martyn.

* CanonImmigrant: Just like the Watchers, they originated from Evolution SMP, specifically from Martyn and Jimmy's perspectives.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Not only does the statue has a flipped Watcher symbol, the Secret Keeper also shares the traits of RhymesOnADime with the Watchers and the Listeners. [[spoiler:Subverted in cc!Martyn's post–Secret Life lore stream, confirming that in the "Eyes and Ears" continuity, the Secret Keeper statue is a façade through which the Watchers speak.]]

->"There are some who watch, We are those who listen."

* EmotionEater: [[invoked]]By WordOfGod, Watchers feed on strong, complex emotions between each season, positive or negative, but prefer negative emotions as they're "better" to feed off of (read: taste better). Once Grian realizes this, he has [[ResignInProtest estranged himself from the Watchers]] as they're purposely trying to make his friends suffer more, which the Watchers aren't too happy about.

* ItAmusedMe: Their motivation for creating the Boogeyman, and potentially the entire concept of the Life series. They like to watch people turn on one another, and hate it when someone ruins their fun.

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: They debuted on the very last scene in Martyn's Limited Life finale (though they were mentioned once before then, at the end of Martyn's Last Life finale).

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: They debuted on the very last scene in Martyn's Limited Life finale.

-->There are some who watch, We are those who listen.
The GoodCounterpart of the Watchers.

* CanonImmigrant: Just like the Watchers, they originated from Evolution SMP.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Watchers. Both are otherworldly beings, but unlike them the Listeners use their powers for good.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Not only does the statue has a flipped Watcher symbol, the Secret Keeper also shares the traits of RhymesOnADime with the Watchers and the Listeners. However, no direct connections were revealed between them.

* SecretKeeper: PlayedWith. Despite being named after this trope they didn't keep any secrets, instead giving out secret tasks which the receiver has to keep a secret about them.

The mysterious voice in Martyn's head. The two Watchers, in his continuity, are the ones who assign and control the Boogeyman, responsible for giving out secret tasks, and are implied to be responsible for the Reds going AxCrazy, if not the world of the Life SMP existing at all. They introduced these concepts purely for their own amusement, and get ''very'' angry when their rules are ignored or circumvented.

%% The Watcher is never referred to with any pronouns, so please stick to they/them for now.

* EmotionEater: [[invoked]] By WordOfGod, Watchers feed on strong, complex emotions between each season, positive or negative, but prefer negative emotions as they're "better" to feed off of (read: taste better). Once Grian realizes this, he has [[ResignInProtest estranged himself from the Watchers]] as they're purposely trying to make his friends suffer more, which the Watchers aren't too happy about.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the Life series; they only appear in Martyn's perspective and tend to operate on a scale independent of the conflicts between players, never intervening physically and at most only via game mechanisms like the Boogeyman curse.

* NoNameGiven: 'Watcher' is their species, not their name. The Watchers in Evo were simply referred to as "Watcher 1" and "Watcher 2", with Grian eventually becoming "Watcher 3". The Watcher from Last Life goes similarly unnamed.

* WalkingSpoiler: Since it's implied that the Watchers are responsible for the Life series happening in the first place, to discuss its origins will inevitably involve discussing the Watchers' existence and presence. It also makes it quite difficult to talk about Grian's backstory and true identity.

* RoyalWe: They refer to themselves as "we", even though there's no indication of there being more than one Watcher involved.

Due to the nature of the series, only spoilers involving the series' backstory will be marked.

->'''IGN:''' [=BdoubleO100=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Bdubs\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Bdubs is a very talented builder, with a big heart and a short fuse. He's loud and very easy to rile up, but also fiercely loyal to those he cares about, and determined in everything he does.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder:
** In Last Life, on Day 6, he kills Tango right after getting a life from him as his Boogeyman kill, which Tango never forgives him for. On Day 7, he becomes a Red Life and almost immediately kills Lizzie as the Survivors promised to give him a life if he took out another Red Life. Unfortunately for him, this turns out to be AllForNothing as the remaining Red Lives fire upon him for his betrayal and quickly kill him as Lizzie had weakened him with firework rockets launched from crossbows.
** On Day 1 of Limited Life, he makes an agreement with Cleo, Scar, and Skizzleman that they would tell each other if one of them was the Boogeyman. Bdubs tells the others it's not him... only to murder Skizzleman seconds later.
* LargeHam: Bdubs is generally very loud, and tends to shout a lot when he's angry, which is... [[HairTriggerTemper often]].

->'''Faction:''' The Village People (formerly), The Crastle
Bdubs initially joined the Village People, but later split off with Cleo to form his own faction. His strategy for survival was to build a massive castle, and barricade himself and Cleo inside as soon as people started to turn Red. This strategy didn't really work out however, as the conflict between Dogwarts and the Red Desert soon made its way into the Crastle as well.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: After adding a few layers to the castle's walls (while Cleo was poking fun at how small they still were), Bdubs decided that he was going to just build a framework to showcase how tall the walls would ''actually'' be. It's only when he's nineteen blocks in the air that he realizes he has no way to get down -- something that costs him dearly when a flock of Phantoms spawn and knock him off the tower to his death.
* {{Irony}}: Bdubs decided to make a castle to keep himself safe, but his first two deaths happen within the castle's borders.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: How he loses his second life, trying out the castle's newly-installed bubble elevator, which Grian trapped by blocking in the top with obsidian and filling that area with lava, killing him and destroying all of his items.
* PutOnABus: He was not present for Day 6 as it was his daughter's birthday at the time.

Bdubs joined Etho on Day 1 in an alliance to secure a safe spot to live. He was assigned Boogeyman on Day 1 however, and took one of Grian's lives, putting him in immediate conflict with the Southlands.\\
\\
By the end of Day 2 he had joined with Etho, Skizz and Tango in an alliance named B.E.S.T., and on Day 3 they began living together in a snow fortress. However, continued squabbles between them, the Southlands, and the growing number of Reds didn't do the strength of their alliance any favors.

Naturally, their lies are found out and no one believes a word Bdubs says, but that still doesn't stop him from continuing to lie throughout the entire season. Even when they're running for their lives during Day 6, Bdubs writes this in the chat:
-->'''[=Bdouble0100=]:''' ''(in the in-game chat)'' scott! why would you say that about pearl!?\\
'''impulsesv:''' ''(in the in-game chat)'' we heard that!\\

* ChekhovsGun: The Clockers collect several horses on Day 1 and keep them in their base for the duration of the series. On Day 8, while taking their horses out for a ride, they set off a trap at the Nosy Neighbours' base, killing Bdubs' horse Clompers instead of him, thus prolonging his life for a while longer.
* HeroicSacrifice: On Day 7, after hearing Jimmy has mere ''minutes'' (in single digits) of life-time left as a result of a recent death, Bdubs practically throws himself on Jimmy's sword, being willing to give up an hour of his own life-time if it means delaying the death enough to stave off Jimmy's first-to-be-KilledOffForReal recurrence.[[note]]It doesn't stave off the "curse", but it's the heart that counts.[[/note]] In the end, it almost definitely contributes to Bdubs being the fourth to go out overall in the season.
* TheUnfavourite: Cleo (particularly when she was really Gem) declares Scar her favorite, often in front of him. {{Inverted}} [[JacobAndEsau in his relationship with Etho]], who considers him the only member of the Clockers that he likes.

%%character arc description

# On Day 1, Bdubs' assigned task is to make his base "deeply uncomfortable to use and look at". He succeeds in this task by the end of the session by building an upside-down house.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to tell a story and get someone to leave before he finishes it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, with Joel getting too bored and confused to stick around to the ending.
# On Day 3, his assigned task is to say the words 'bet', 'poggers', 'dab', 'yeet', 'drip', 'slay', 'vibing', 'valid', 'rizz' and 'sheesh' in the correct context in conversations. If someone else questions or says the same word, that whole conversation becomes invalid for the task. While he hits the 'Succeed' button at the end of the session, his failure to read the fine print of the task means he has failed it in retrospect.
# On Day 4, he is instructed to reroll for a harder task as punishment for "declaring himself incorrectly successful" the previous session, and winds up having to kill the Ender Dragon. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 5, his assigned task, submitted by [=obscureSwan=], is to be in a game of tag with Impulse, Tango, and Scott, with whoever still being "it" at the session break and the end of the session failing; Yellow Names have to guess all four people involved for them to fail that way. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Bdubs presses the success button after 'completing' his task on Day 3 despite missing the words 'sheesh' and 'slay'. In editing, he explains that he usually says 'sheesh' a lot anyways so it counts, and 'slay' counts as well because he said it four times despite those times being invalid, and four fails equals a win according to him. He then adds that he just said 'sheesh' and 'slay' to the viewers, which he counts as a conversation, and it can't be rendered invalid because the viewers can't talk back to him.
* StylisticSuck: Bdubs builds his base on Day 1 to fit the requirements of his assigned task, by making it out of a mishmash of mostly birch and acacia wood, cobblestone, and unpolished granite. He ends up adding to the base starting from Day 2 to make it look less unpleasant to look at.
* TotallyRadical: {{Invoked|Trope}}. His Day 3 task gives him a list of stereotypical Gen Z slang to try to shoehorn into conversations.

* {{Foil}}: With Ren; both are assigned as Boogeymen on Day 4 and were from the same alliance, but their paths diverge from there. Ren tells his allies about his curse, swears to never hurt them, and gains their trust as well as help in his mission; when he's cured, he pays reparations to his victim and ends on good terms with everybody. On the other hand, Big B stays quiet, growing more desperate as time runs out, and doesn't see any other solution than killing his closest ally; this leads to him being ridden with guilt and his actions eventually haunt him and the splintered remains of the Shadow Alliance for the rest of the season.
* LaserGuidedKarma: As fans have noted, all three of his deaths are related to his betrayal of Cleo.

* {{Gaslighting}}: On Day 1, even after completing his assigned task, Big B remains strangely elusive about the nature of said task and constantly lies to everyone about what it is. First, he tells Grian that his task was to dig a tunnel to the Secret Keeper, initially forbidding Grian to check for himself then later allowing him to. Then, when Scar asks, he denies the hole existing at all ([[BlatantLies despite several people having already seen it]]) or his involvement in its "construction". He doesn't let up on this during Day 2.

Etho joined with Bdubs, Skizz and Tango in an alliance named B.E.S.T., and on Day 3 they began living together in a snow fortress. He remained loyal to all of them, Bdubs especially, who he remained close to even when Bdubs himself turned Red. After B.E.S.T fell apart and the Snow Fortress was attacked by Grian with a Wither, Etho joined the Survivors, but was killed when the rest of his allies turned Red. He joined the Larger Red Alliance, and helped hunt down Grian and Joel, but was killed in the ensuing chase.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: On Day 1, Etho pledges his loyalty to Grian after being given a diamond sword. While their respective factions have gotten into various conflicts over the course of the season, their prior agreement kicks in on Day 8, leading to the Nosy Neighbours having a semi-alliance with the T.I.E.S. (or what remains of it) against the Mean Gills, thus setting up the dynamics of the final battle.
* DisappearedDad: {{Parodied|Trope}}. Even though he isn't even part of the faction, Etho is treated as the TeamDad of Entertainment Mountain who went to the store to get milk and never came back. Cleo describes him as more of a DisneylandDad on Day 4.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: On Day 6, Etho sets up a trap for the Clockers by inviting them to a "family outing" site rigged with TNT. After Scar mistakes the ender pearl stasis chamber nearby for the trap and kills Etho over it, Etho winds up triggering his ''own'' trap, leaving himself as the two-time casualty of the ordeal.
* KillSteal: On Day 4, Etho hunts down Joel with Martyn and delivers the killing blow on him. Since Martyn had died by Joel on the previous day, Martyn accuses Etho of stealing his life-time and starts attacking him. This kicks off a chain of events that ends with Tango claiming his Boogeyman kill for the session.

[[folder:[=GoodTimesWithScar=]]]
->'''IGN:''' [=GoodTimeWithScar=]\\
'''Preferred Name:''' Scar\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Scar is an enthusiastic, charismatic, but clumsy businessman, and a very talented builder. In every season so far, he's attempted to create a business venture bartering both in legitimate resources and useless garbage, and spends a lot of effort ensuring he's got a monopoly on everything he can possibly get his hands on.
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Scar's legitimately an odd person (e.g. dragging around a pet bee on a lead named Bubbles in Third Life or selling worthless magical crystals as a wizard in Last Life), but is also the most skilled smooth-talker on the server, able to work as an EscortDistraction when conspiring with Grian (Third Life), swindling people in his favor through getting them to sign contracts (Last Life), or talking the Red Lives after him to exchange his life and his horse back for twelve pieces of sand (Double Life).
* {{Pyromaniac}}: He possesses the inexplicable urge to watch things go up in flames.
** In Double Life, he gleefully sets fire to the Rancher's ranch for stealing his horse. He also provides Scott the flint and steel to burn down Etho and Joel's Relation-Ship.
--->'''Scar:''' ''(in a sing-song voice)'' We're gonna burn, burn, burn! The Jolly Ranchers to the ground... in a ring of fire.
** In Limited Life, he expresses the desire to burn down the Woodland Mansion as early as Day 1, which would inevitably end up burning the dark oak forest surrounding it. Eventually, he cheers Cleo on when she does.
* RunningGag: His tendency to steal enchanting tables as opposed to crafting them. In Third Life, he steals Dogwarts' enchanter in the war; while in Last Life and Double Life, stealing the enchanter is a necessity as there is a rule against crafting one's own in those seasons. He has no excuse in Limited Life other than to do it for the bit.
-->'''Scar:''' [...] And Cleo just asked me to make an enchanting table. Silly, silly Cleo, I don't make enchanting tables, I ''[[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord borrow]]'' them.

->'''Faction:''' The Red Desert
Scar made it his mission to create a monopoly on the finite resources within the world. He recruited Grian after his attempt at a prank backfired horribly, and laid claim to the only desert on the map, where they planned to collect and sell the limited amount of sand. They also tried to monopolize dark oak wood, which ended up failing as they didn't realize there was a second dark oak forest on the map.\\
\\
After Scar turned Red however, their faction became a lot more threatening. Scar began selling Friendship Passes, essentially a written promise not to kill the buyer. This, ironically, didn't make him very popular with the other factions around him, and especially not Dogwarts, whose Enchanting Table Scar had been trying to steal for ages. Relations with Dogwarts continued to sour as Ren turned Red as well, and eventually broke out into all-out war. During this war, Dogwarts was entirely eliminated, but all other factions suffered massive casualties, and the Red Desert's base had been completely destroyed in the process. Scar and Grian resorted to wandering the server, picking off the few remaining survivors.\\
\\
Scar wound up betraying Grian for Bdubs, then betrayed Bdubs in turn once Grian tried to kill both of them in a screaming fury. He then told Grian to just kill him, eventually agreeing to have an honorable fist fight by the ruins of their old home. He eventually lost this fight, making Grian the winner of 3rd Life.

----
* AffablyEvil: Scar is undeniably a self-serving businessman, even at Red life. He's scammed multiple people out of their items, tried to establish a monopoly on finite resources like dark oak wood and sand, and tries to kill those who turn down his deals. However, he's also a clumsy, [[TheDitz ditzy]], charming guy, who named his pet llama "Pizza" and toned down the intimidation factor of his Red life skin by bringing a bee named "Mr. Bubbles" on a lead with him everywhere he went.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Nobody thought he'd make it past the halfway mark. He ends up not only being the penultimate person to die, but he personally kills ''both'' of Dogwarts' leaders (Ren and Martyn) in the final battle, back-to-back.
* {{Bookends}}: Not counting Grian's season-ending suicide, Scar is both the first and last person to die, and both of these deaths were because of Grian.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Scar has zero qualms about betraying or abandoning people as soon as they do something he doesn't like. Grian even points out to Jimmy and Scott that he's betrayed everyone he's ever met. This comes back to bite him when Skizz, who previously had his friend pass revoked after refusing to help kill Ren, decides to side with Renchanting when Ren turns Red, and gets understandably pretty angry when Scar turns back up to his door to try and get him to change his mind. Once he's one of the last three people alive, he manages to betray ''both of them'' in the span of about ten minutes.
* EscortDistraction: Scar and Grian's modus operandi. Scar goes in to distract their target by talking about random things, or trying to sell them stuff, while Grian sneaks around behind them to set up their actual trap.
* ExactWords: On the last day, Scar is allied with Grian and Bdubs, and Big B is the only other player left. Big B does not hesitate to whip out the No Kill Pass he had received from Scar earlier, which prevents Scar from killing Big B. However, the No Kill Pass does not protect from Scar's allies and he instantly sics Bdubs on Big B.
* ForcedPrizeFight: When it's only the three of them left, he throws a piece of paper between Bdubs and Grian, saying that he wouldn't kill the one who picks it up. They both had their inventories full, and couldn't pick it up at first, but Bdubs was able to empty a slot first, resulting in the two of them teaming up to take Grian's second life.
* TheKingslayer: During the Battle for Dogwarts, Scar ambushes and kills Ren, the self-proclaimed [[RedBaron Red King]].
* TheKlutz: Scar is notoriously clumsy, to the point that nobody even doubted the fact that he'd be the first to turn Red. Case in point, he lost his second life by ''accidentally sprint-jumping off a cliff''.
* MythologyGag: Scar's Red life skin is an edited version of his Greyskin attire from Demise, in Season 6 of ''WebVideo/{{Hermitcraft}}''.
* NotMeThisTime: On Day 7, Etho accuses Scar of burning down his woolen base again in the in-game chat, which Scar denies doing. It's actually Scott on his RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Scar was on the receiving end of being told to put a shirt on throughout this season, especially Grian, who was in a life debt to Scar because of the creeper incident very early on.
* ProtectionRacket: On Day 3, Scar went around to various people to trade their items for "friendship certificates", pieces of paper that promise that, if Scar were to go Red, they wouldn't be targeted. Etho accepted, but Ren and Joel both refused. When Scar ''did'' go Red later that same day, he went around to Ren and Joel again to barter for an enchantment table, and while Ren refused again, Joel caved and handed him his enchantment table in exchange for protection.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After losing his second life and turning Red, Scar changed his skin to a version of himself with grey skin and red eyes.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: After going around scamming people out of their items for two days, Cleo kidnapped Scar's llama, Pizza, and got him to trade all of his armor, his weapons and his shield in exchange for Pizza's location.
* TooDumbToLive: It's clear that Grian's debt to him is the only reason he made it to the final day. Case in point, on Day 6 he learns that Grian set a TNT trap in the Red Desert and spends half the day thinking about detonating it despite Grian making it very clear that the trap will very likely instakill whoever sets it off. He eventually does set it off (granted, it was to try and kill his enemies), and nearly gets himself and Tango killed in the process.
* TranquilFury: When Scott, Martyn, Joel and Jimmy showed up to taunt them with the fact that they had their own supply of dark oak saplings and Scar never had a monopoly, Scar initially panicked, but fell into this as soon as they left.
-->'''Scar:''' ''(calmly)'' I will murder them.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Scar's skin is entirely shirtless throughout the entire season. Because his server-mates keep telling him to PleasePutSomeClothesOn, he often keeps the armor on. However, because of the heatwave from living in the desert, which in turn causes him to become sweaty, he would then take his chestplate off, resulting in Grian telling him to put the chestplate back on.

->'''Faction:''' Magical Mountain
Scar founded Magical Mountain, a place where people could barter with him for useful goods and services, like his own lives, use of the enchantment table, and magical crystals with... debatable effectiveness. However, despite his mercantile efforts, Scar consistently found himself short of allies.\\
\\
Scar teamed up with Joel, both donning wizard outfits and vowing to run Magical Mountain together. However, this alliance almost immediately fell apart as soon as Joel turned Red on Day 2, leaving Scar alone once again. Further attempts to gain allies didn't work out either, as most people saw him as a scam artist by this point, and had no interest in working with him more than strictly necessary. In the end, Scar created contracts that he made people sign whenever they came to buy a life from him, ensuring they weren't allowed to kill him and had to be his allies. This, however, proved fruitless.\\

----
* AffablyEvil: As the Boogeyman, and arguably when he's normal as well. He's generally polite and amicable, and even after ''killing Mumbo in front of them'', cheerily asked the Southlands if they wanted to buy an Enchantment Pass.
* BrandishmentBluff: On Day 1, he edits his skin to make it appear that he's wearing full diamond armor so he'll be more intimidating as he claims to be the Boogeyman for a scam. A few people see through it, though, mainly due to the [[SpottingTheThread six-pack he added to the chestplate]], which real armor doesn't have.
* CoincidentalDodge: Partially occurs when Joel and Grian (both Red at the time) try to trap his spawn point to take all his lives. Scar doesn't realize he's being threatened until the end, and does eventually give Grian and Joel a life each, bringing them up to Yellow.
* ConMan: He pretends to be the Boogeyman on Day 1 in order to scam people out of their valuables, like he did as the first Red Name in 3rd Life. He succeeds in obtaining a diamond and a spyglass from Big B and Jimmy, respectively, but Cleo is unintimidated and one-ups his threats with a lava bucket. Mumbo sees through his lies but he manages to get a fair trade. He later tricks Grian into getting off his horse and leads him away before running back and stealing it as payback for scamming him out of a life. He also sells magical crystals in his shop, which are really just renamed pieces of colored glass.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Scar is clumsy, goofy, and his antics rarely work out in his favor. However, hidden underneath that veneer of incompetence is an extremely skilled businessman and manipulator, and the fact that everyone underestimates him only makes him more effective. There are very few people who see through him, like Scott (who refuses to make any sort of deal with him for fear of it blowing up in his face), and Martyn (who is more than happy to goof off with him, but never turns his back).
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Most alliances Scar gets into don't work out, as people tend to immediately leave as soon as he's sold them what they need. Scar gets more desperate for company over time, to the point where, midway through the season, he starts selling away his lives in exchange for contracts declaring that the receiver has to be his ally.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: Drops down to his last life falling into a lava trap.
* PaperTiger: He edits his skin on Day 1 to make it appear that he's wearing full diamond armor.
* PutOnABus: He was absent during Day 7 due to hospitalization.
* SkewedPriorities: Grian and Joel threaten Scar to give them lives or else they will kill him and he will continually respawn in a box that they can open to drop Scar in lava, essentially eliminating him from the series. Scar's concern, however, is that the redstone they're using may have been stolen from his shop. Grian lampshades this.
* ToiletHumour: He steals a horse from Grian and names it "Yellow Snow" due to its white coat and golden armor.

----
* BigNo: Scar lets one out when Joel and Etho try to set his Jellie Pandas on fire. While water-bucket clutching.
* CrazyPrepared: [[SmarterThanYouLook In spite of his sillier moments]], Scar shows he knows how to think ahead by scattering multiple bunkers and secret stashes of items around the map, allowing him to gear up (with enchantments to boot) even after his and Grian's second death cost them some of their best armor and weapons.
* FailedASpotCheck:
** Despite all the hints that Grian dropped him, he had no idea that the latter was his soulmate until he was directly informed at the end of Day 1. TheStinger of the episode has Scar {{lampshade|Hanging}} it out-of-universe.
** He also has a bad habit of hyper-focusing on the panda reserve next to their base, allowing people to come around and steal resources under the guise of looking at the pandas. During Day 3, he completely missed that ''he had set the base on fire'', as well as the fact that there were three other people tearing up their foundations in order to steal their sugarcane.
* HatedByAll: By the end of Episode 4, he and Grian have become this -- in part due to Grian playing a part in two of the Red Life teams becoming Red Lives, and partially due to hoarding all the resources needed to make TNT, but mostly because of Scar stealing the enchanting table from the Deep Dark.
* NoShirtLongJacket: On his Red life, he changes his skin to replace his beige shirt with a black jacket, already opened to expose his chest.
* PapaWolf: The sight of Joel and Etho threatening and attempting to burn his Jellie Pandas was enough to motivate Scar into jumping down from a tall platform. And surviving with the water bucket trick. Joel and Etho actually left Scar alone for the rest of the siege.
* RapidFireNo: Scar lets one out after he figures out he set off the TNT to the Boat Boys' sound-triggered trap, [[YouAreAlreadyDead realizing what's about to happen]].
* SkewedPriorities: In a DeadlyGame of a series where his partner is dedicated to building bases, getting good gear, and monopolizing server resources, Scar is more preoccupied with building a reservation and petting zoo for his retextured Jellie Pandas.
* TooDumbToLive: The cause of his second death on Day 5, albeit with Grian pointing it out to him -- Scar's instinct upon seeing a huge pile of TNT in front of Cleo's base is to try to steal it. ''Surely'' a pile of explosives ''that'' conspicuously placed isn't trapped to kill whoever tries to take it, right?
* TrickedOutShoes: Throughout the season, Scar wears a pair of enchanted chainmail [[BootsOfToughness boots]]. While they are only chainmail (a lower-tier of armor), they have a high-level Feather Falling enchantment, and Scar frequently boasts that he got them by killing a child (read: a Baby Zombie, which are just as tough as, if not more so than, their adult counterparts). These boots wind up contributing to Scar's (and by extension, Grian's) survival for the first five days, by preventing them from dying to fall damage.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Other than the sizzling of the explosives, the actual explosion that took Scar's (and thus Grian's) second life had two sources of TNT, a TNT minecart and regular TNT blocks. Consequently, the first blast brought Scar down to 2 hearts of health, with a split-second delay before the second blast took away those last 2 hearts.

----
* AccidentalMurder: His bombing of Cleo on Day 3 is completely unintentional and he apologizes for it, though not without a lack of trying -- he gets Bdubs to call her up to safety beforehand, but she doesn't listen. To Cleo's credit, she thinks it's ActuallyPrettyFunny that he killed Grian while he's AFK.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Meta; Scar has requested Mojang for waterloggable leaf blocks for years, but it winds up being his downfall as he's unable to save himself with SoftWater after being spleefed by Martyn.
-->'''Scar:''' I dropped the water but it waterlogged! Mojang, I know I've cried from the hilltops of needing waterlogged leaves for ''years upon years!'' But I really didn't need it. We didn't need it! We never needed it!
* BigBrotherInstinct: While it's unknown who's older in the family dynamic and despite their contentious relationship, when Bdubs gets perma-killed with a TNT minecart, Scar nearly goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Grian (whom the Clockers were fighting at the time), assuming he set up a trap that killed his brother.
* DeathFromAbove:
** Scar gets ''4 kills'' on Day 3 by dropping TNT minecarts on various individuals from above.[[note]]He also kills Pearl by spleefing her from the Bad Boys Bread Bridge.[[/note]] Unfortunately, [[AllForNothing he doesn't get any life-time added for his triple kill]] because every single one of his victims happened to be Yellow, and the sole Green Name he was targetting survived.
** On Day 4, Scar also ends up on the receiving end of this, via a stalactite and a TNT minecart. [[MurderByMistake The intended target for both murders is Impulse]], who only dies in the TNT minecart explosion where Scar happens to be collateral damage.
* FreudianSlip: His faction's original name was the "Clockers", and he often dropped the 'L' when saying it.
* InTheBack: Scar's final death is caused by Grian attacking him from behind.
* KickTheDog: The T.I.E.S. alliance privately accuse Scar of being a "heartless monster" for killing Grian, who's AFK for Day 3 and couldn't even defend himself.
* KillSteal: On Day 6, when Joel and Jimmy are preparing to attack Big B, Scar spleefs them from their skybridge and targets Big B himself upon realising their intentions, ultimately managing the kill as Big B hid from the two Bad Boys.
* MisplacedRetribution: After Bdubs is killed by Martyn on Day 4, Scar puts a pause on his plans for a peaceful day to attack T.I.E.S. [[KnightTemplarBigBrother as revenge]], even though Martyn isn't part of that faction. When Cleo points this out, he justifies it, saying that he's not allowed to kill Martyn, who's also Yellow at the time.
* MommasBoy: In the Clockers' "family dynamic", Scar is much closer to Cleo and strongly dislikes Etho, and holds some degree of distrust to Bdubs for being "neutral" and implicitly siding with Etho during familial conflicts.
* MurderByMistake: On Day 3, Scar intends to kill Joel by dropping a TNT minecart on him from Entertainment Mountain, while he's trying to transport Grian back to the Bad Boys' base. This fails as Joel is on the outskirts of the blast radius at the time, but it nets Scar three kills -- Jimmy, [[KickTheDog an AFK Grian]] (whom he apologizes to and "uses as a confession booth" later in the day), and [[AccidentalMurder Cleo]].
* NoodleIncident: When one of his wolves randomly attacks Etho on Day 2, he brings up how he's always getting into arguments with [=ChatGPT=].
* ProperlyParanoid: Zig-zagged. On Day 5, when Etho ''for some reason'' suggests for the Clockers to play "catch" with TNT minecarts, Scar is initially very jumpy and hesitant that someone's trying to kill him through this. While Etho asserts that what happens is an accident, the game goes [[ExplosiveStupidity just as well as you might expect]].
* RightForTheWrongReasons:
** Scar, Cleo, Skizz and Bdubs are in a group when the second Boogeyman was being chosen on Day 1. Scar exclaims that he knew that Bdubs was the Boogeyman when he is suddenly launched through the air by an attack, seemingly confirming his suspicions. As it turns out, Bdubs was the Boogeyman and immediately starts to kill Skizz, but Scar's aggressor was really a goat which happened to be nearby.
** On Day 6, the Clockers attend a family outing hosted by Etho. Upon finding a "trap" set for them, Scar kills Etho. Etho indeed had set up a TNT trap for the Clockers, but what Scar found was actually just a harmless ender pearl stasis chamber.
* SmarterThanYouLook: As standard of the ''Life'' series, Scar shows a clever and perspective streak, especially in contrast with his silly demeanor. On Day 2, he instantly suspects that the Bad Boys Bread Bridge is a "[[TrojanHorse Trojan bridge]]" and figures out the nature of the Bad Boys' trap minutes before it's set off. [[ZigZaggingTrope It doesn't stop him]] from ''dying'' in the blast, though.

%%character arc description

# On Day 1, Scar's initial assigned task is to call people anything but their username for at least 30 minutes, but has to reroll to coming up with a nickname for another player and convincing two other people to use it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, referring to Grian as "the light of the server".
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to be Pearl's hype man for 30 minutes and not get called out for it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 3, his assigned task is to remove all light sources from around 5 people's bases, but have to return them if anyone questions him. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, targeting the Big Dogs (Jimmy and Martyn), Grian, Joel, Lizzie, the Heart Foundation (Skizz and Tango), ''and'' Gem and the Scotts, while bribing Mumbo and Cleo to not tell the bases' occupants when they see him doing so.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to do the opposite of what everyone tells him to do. He fails at this task by the end of the session, having come across a MortonsFork in the road.
# On Day 5, his assigned task is to, starting with wheat seeds, trade up at least four trades into a golden apple. He succeeds at this task by the end of the session, having traded four wheat seeds for a camel, the camel for a zombie spawn egg, the zombie spawn egg (and a spawner) for five diamonds, and finally the five diamonds for a golden apple.

%%|| Day || Cause || Lives remaining ||
----
* ChainOfDeals: His task on Day 5 is this, having to go from some wheat seeds to a golden apple with at least four trades. [[LampshadeHanging He notes how appropriate this task is for him]].
* {{Fanboy}}: On Day 1, Tango's assigned task is to get Scar to talk about ''Franchise/StarWars'' for over 60 seconds; just about everyone who hears of it laughs about how easy it is to do so.
* LookADistraction: Scar has to use this a few times to complete his task on Day 3, getting people to look away just long enough for him to break a torch.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Halfway through Scar's Ahsoka lecture, he takes six hearts of suffocation damage from riding around on his camel. His response? Immediately continue said lecture, completely unfazed.
* MortonsFork: Faces this on Day 4 when Martyn asks him to stand still for a moment; since his task requires him to go against all instructions, Scar's options are (a) stand still as told and fail the task, and (b) ''not'' stand still and get sussed out by Martyn (who's on Yellow at the time), which will ''also'' result in task failure. He goes with the first option.
* TheNicknamer: {{Invoked|Trope}} on Day 1; both of his tasks require him to refer to other players by a different name. He overcompensates in his initial task by nicknaming ''everyone'' -- even those whose preferred names aren't part of their username, but ultimately has to restart his timer around Grian and Mumbo and fails it altogether by revealing the nature of the task to them after realizing this.
* RebelliousSpirit: {{Invoked|Trope}} by the nature of his Day 4 task, where Scar has to do the opposite of everything anyone says... which is then {{deconstructed|Trope}} when this starts to take a toll on his alliances with others ([[ForcedIntoEvil which he genuinely feels bad about]]).

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grian_0.png]]
->'''IGN:''' Grian\\
'''Preferred Name:''' Grian\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Grian is the creator of the SMP, a talented builder with a love for pranks and an even bigger love for chaos and destruction. [[spoiler:Martyn's Last Life finale episode reveals that Grian is a Watcher, and was never supposed to be a participant at all, but has chosen to take an active role on the server.]]
----
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Instead of just Watching the action, Grian [[GodInHumanForm has taken an active role in the server]] to cause chaos of the fun sort, in an attempt to lessen the emotional turmoil his friends go through, essentially trying to protect them from the Watchers while having no idea ''how'' to free his friends or use his own Watcher powers as a relatively new recruit.]]
* MadBomber: Grian is the cause of two of the three deadliest traps in the series (his triple kill in 3rd Life and quad kill in Limited Life), both of which involve TNT minecarts and are followed by [[EvilLaugh positively unhinged laughter]].
* ResignInProtest: [[spoiler:After the Watchers decided to [[EmotionEater start feeding on his friends' negative emotions]] and purposely make them suffer to gain more of it, Grian has estranged himself from them and decided against just Watching events unfold.]]

!!3rd Life
->'''Faction:''' The Red Desert
After he accidentally got Scar killed by baiting a creeper into a crowd, Grian decided to make it up to Scar by promising to help him out with whatever he wanted to do until the loss of Grian's first life. When Scar turned Red, Grian took this as an opportunity to cause chaos and started laying traps that quickly gave him the highest kill count on the entire server.\\
\\
Grian stayed Green until very late in the game when faction politics had begun to collapse and all-out war had broken out. He decided to stay with Scar despite the requirements of their deal being fulfilled and helps him take revenge and eliminate Dogwarts. Despite being betrayed by him in the final moments, Grian had an honorable battle with Scar by the ruins of their home. He won this battle and the season as a result.\\

|| 8 || Betrayed and killed by Scar and Bdubs after losing a HeadsOrTails decision || [[red: 1]] ||
|| 8 || Suicide by throwing himself off of Monopoly Mountain || [[gray: 0]] ||
----
* ActionSurvivor: He definitely qualifies, only losing his first life on Day 7, and being one of the last three people alive while still having his second life, as well as being the ultimate winner, killing Scar in an unarmored fistfight between them in the Red Desert.
* BigYes: After his TNT trap goes off, taking out three people.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Although he initially did plan on ditching Scar after his first death, by the time that first death actually happened he was past the PointOfNoReturn regarding the collapsing politics of the server, and thus he decided to stick around with Scar.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: While he can't exactly tell Scar "no" due to being indebted to him, Grian frantically warns anyone who comes near of Scar's attempts to scam them out of their items, and is generally the voice of reason in their duo. However, it's {{subverted|Trope}} because while Grian is less inclined to backstabbing and similar forms of chaos, he is more than happy to cause death, having set at least one potentially deadly trap a recording session from Day 4 to Day 6.
* TheDragon: To Scar, as a result of Grian being the cause of Scar's first death. Grian remains indebted to Scar, at least until he dies once.
* DragonAscendant: On Day 8, he takes command of the Red Desert from Scar, and is one of his side's primary leaders in the battle with Dogwarts.
* DragonInChief: Scar's his boss, but it's pretty clear that Grian is more powerful. It's him who comes up with the plans to kill people, he's often the one to negotiate, he gets the most kills, and the entire partnership is based around Grian's first life (the instant he dies, it ends). Scar just points him at people.
* EvilLaugh: After his TNT minecart trap kills three people, Grian starts cackling with joy.
* FissionMailed: Grian's traps have a habit of only working the second time around.
** His TNT trap by Renchanting initially failed (it was meant to explode as soon as the enchanting table was broken, but it somehow failed to trigger). However, while attempting to figure out what to do about it, Jimmy accidentally nudges the live TNT minecarts, setting off the bomb and killing himself, Skizz and Ren.
** While making the bubble elevator trap in the Crastle, Grian initially got caught by Bdubs right when he was setting up the lava trap at the top. He was able to play it off as him doing a nice thing for them, and after a little while, roped Etho into helping distract Bdubs and Cleo while he set up the trap, which then caught Bdubs completely by surprise.
* {{Foil}}: To Martyn. While they're both the Green right-hand man to their respective Reds, Grian is only loyal to Scar because he accidentally got him killed on Day 1, and has made it clear that as soon as he loses his first life, he's out. Martyn, meanwhile, remains on Ren's side of his own accord, and though he took one of Ren's lives, it was on purpose, and at Ren's own request. Eventually, both even lost their lives on the same day as a result of the same event — and both lost their first lives because of each other (Grian was directly killed by Martyn; Martyn died in the counterattack that Grian spearheaded).
* ForcedIntoEvil: {{Subverted|Trope}}. As of Day 3, Martyn regards him as a member of the Blue Sword Boys 'sub-alliance' from Day 1[[note]]Consisting of Martyn, Grian, and Big B, who all got diamond swords right off the bat[[/note]] who's only TheDragon to Scar because of his debt, and makes plans to "rescue" Grian from the situation or at least wait for him to rejoin them; though by Day 6, Martyn concludes that Grian has a severe case of Stockhom syndrome. In actuality, Grian is much more [[DragonInChief in control of the situation]] than Martyn thinks, and the Day 1 'alliance' isn't even an afterthought in his mind past Day 1.
* LastSurvivorSuicide: After dwelling on his status as the SoleSurvivor of the season, Grian ends the season by jumping off a mountain within the Red Desert.
* MadBomber: TNT traps are his forte while under Scar's employ, to the point where he even rigs the entire desert to explode in the Battle of the Red Desert. He's killed four people (Scar with a creeper on Day 1 and Ren, Jimmy, and Skizz with a TNT minecart on Day 4) with explosions.
* PyrrhicVictory: In his eyes, at least. He's the Sole Survivor and the winner of the series, but to make it that far he had to not only watch everyone die but personally kill his closest friend. When he realizes he's won, he's not at all happy.
* SoleSurvivor: Grian was the last man standing after winning his death-match with Scar, making him the winner of 3rd Life. [[LastSurvivorSuicide It doesn't last]].

!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' The Southlands
After gaining and then immediately losing a life, Grian went to a mountaintop to sulk, before realizing that that location would make a pretty good spot for a base. He recruited whoever he could find into his new faction, becoming the de-facto leader of the Southlands. He was briefly exiled after he turned Red, then re-introduced when he managed to threaten Scar into giving him another life, but by that time so many Southlanders had turned Red that he declared the faction over, burning down the walls and leaving for good.\\
\\
Shortly after that, Grian turned Red again, this time formally teaming up with Joel to rain hell onto the server. However, as more and more people turned Red, a rift formed, splitting the Reds up into two factions, Grian and Joel on one side, Pearl, Scott, Cleo, and Etho on the other. After Martyn, the last Yellow Life, dropped to red, the two Red factions went to war against one another, a battle that Grian and Joel lost.\\

----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While he may have started a large group for the sake of making friends and was often caught in or the source of silly shenanigans, Grian is undoubtedly effective, having survived until the last episode despite starting with two lives and allied with the other holders of the Wither Skulls to summon a Wither. His team of Red Lives, despite being only two members large, was also able to rival the Larger Red Alliance, which had up to five members. He's also the person to take the first two [[KilledOffForReal final lives]] in the season, permanently killing Jimmy and Mumbo in short order after they try to kill ''him''.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: On Day 6, he tries to manipulate the Red Names into fighting each other so that he doesn't have to deal with a unified Red Team.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: After Jimmy goes Red, he attempts to return to the Southlands to collect his chest full of items. The Southlanders, obviously not trusting him, threaten that if he goes any closer to their territory, "the boys" (Grian's wolf army) are gonna get him. The following exchange ensues:
-->'''Jimmy:''' Who are "the boys"?\\
'''Grian:''' Well, let me introduce you. ''(punches Jimmy, immediately causing five of Grian's wolves to start attacking him)''
* SurroundedByIdiots: On Day 3, he's the only one to notice that Joel has set fire to their fort walls as the other four Southlands members are too busy playing with Mumbo's latest contraption... just around the corner from said fire.
* WeCanRuleTogether: After he turns Red for the first time, he attacks Mumbo (who was on two lives at the time) while saying "We can still be friends!", with Mumbo escaping by the skin of his teeth.

* BigNo: Upon realizing that he's paired with [[TooDumbToLive Scar]].
* ChekhovsGun: At the start of Day 5, Grian attempts to prank Scar using a falling dripstone stalactite, which almost kills the both of them. At the end of the episode, he skewers Ren with a falling stalactite and causes him and [=BigB=] to be KilledOffForReal with the same trick.
* DeathByIrony: He forbid Scar from going to the Deep Dark due to how dangerous the Warden is. Naturally, he lost his final life to a Warden.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: He goes through the five stages upon finding out the identity of his soulmate, initially denying when he takes damage after hitting Scar, [[BigNo anger]] when Joel hits Scar to test it out, bargaining as he tries (and fails) to convince Etho and/or Joel to swap soulmates with him, and gradually acceptance sometime by the end of the episode, though he still considers himself a ResentfulGuardian after all of that.
* HatedByAll: By the end of Episode 4, he and Scar have become this -- in part due to Grian playing a part in two of the Red Life teams becoming Red Lives, and partially due to hoarding all the resources needed to make TNT, but mostly because of Scar stealing the enchanting table from the Deep Dark.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While ecstatic over his success in killing Ren with pointed dripstone, he quickly realizes that he's also eliminated his "secret soulmate" Big B from the series and frantically apologizes, even creating a grave for him at the end of the episode.
* ResentfulGuardian: Grian often compares his relationship with Scar to that of a parent and toddler, and is quickly tired of dealing with Scar's antics to the point of wanting to abandon him in favor of Big B.
* SayMyName: His reaction to Scar being in various life-threatening situations, from running too close to a Creeper and triggering its fuse to diving down from their sky-base to defend his Jellie Pandas. Thankfully, [[SoftWater Scar survives]] the latter. Not so much for the Zombie pit or the TNT trap.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: On Day 1, while trying to convince Etho and/or Joel to swap soulmates with him, Grian says, "I can change the rules! This is my series!" [[SubvertedTrope This ultimately doesn't happen]], even with his "secret soulmate" thing with [=BigB=] going on.
* SuddenlyShouting: Grian reacts this way when he sees [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs0Fl1W5I2o&t=1210s Joel tunnel into his underground sugarcane farm]] and harvest a good chunk of the current crop.
-->'''Grian:''' How about I sell you some sugarcane? How does that sound? Joel, I'll sell you some sugarcane-\\
'''Joel:''' ''(digs into Grian's sugarcane farm and starts harvesting the crop)'' Okay-\\
'''Grian:''' Joel, I will sell '''''YOU SOME SUGARCANE!''''' ''(Joel runs through the farm and digs out on the other side)'' JOEL, I WILL SELL YOU SOME SUGARCANE!
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: After monopolizing all of the sand on the server, he leaves only a few pieces of sand left in the valley beside his base, and then drops a ''[[{{Superboss}} Warden]]'' in the valley to abjure anyone trying to make [=TNT=] without going through Grian.
* TooDumbToLive: {{Subverted|Trope}} in that it never leads to his death, but Grian has outright stated that he builds too much of his stuff out of flammable materials -- namely, wood. When under siege in Episode 4, he, Tango, and Jimmy are forced to quickly replace the wood blocks that get destroyed by fire with dirt and cobblestone.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Grian was able to nab the only pieces of sugarcane on the map, which were incredibly important due to the server's modded recipe for TNT needing four paper. Foreseeing the way that other teams would tear up his base to get some sugarcane of their own and inevitably break his monopoly, he quickly stole all of the ''sand'' on the server -- a much easier task thanks to the map's lack of a desert -- and only leaving behind enough pieces of sand for one or two pieces of TNT, thereby creating a second monopoly on explosives, this time with a non-renewable resource.

* AccidentalMurder:
** On Day 6, he [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo randomly pushes all the buttons he sees]] at the Nosy Neighbors' base, accidentally activating a PitTrap that kills both Jimmy and Lizzie-as-Pearl.
** He kills Jimmy again on Day 7 when he jokingly whacks him with a sword, not realizing that his health was low.
* ActionSurvivor: Despite being AFK, thanks to Jimmy's frantic wall placements and his own enchanted diamond armour, Grian manages to survive a barrage of about half a dozen TNT minecarts dropped by Scar from the Bread Bridge. Even Scar is surprised by his survival in spite of being clocked out for the entire session.
* BaitAndSwitch: When Jimmy and Joel invite him to join their faction, he describes the name 'Bad Boys' to be the kind of name seven-year-olds would think as "cool"... only to say he insulted the name ''because'' he's a bad boy. He's recruited on the spot.
* BigWhat: His reaction to Skizzleman's ''second'' death in the series, due to him dying to two different Boogeymen twice in the span of about five minutes... in the first 20 minutes of the series. Understandably, the Boogeyman is rerolled for the ''[[RuleOfThree third]]'' time on Day 1, and fortunately for (what remains of) Grian's sanity, the third and final Boogeyman of the day ''doesn't'' get a kill instantly after the announcement.
* BigYes: He screams several in pure, unadulterated glee on Day 7 after getting his ''quadruple'' kill. Sadly for him, no one's around to hear him high above the ground on Skynet 2.0.
* CommutingOnABus: On Day 3, Grian spends almost the entire session AFK while sitting on a llama; the Bad Boys have tasked themselves to protect him at all costs. The real-life reason for this is because he's feeling unwell, but due to the nature of the series, it would be unfair if he skips the session and retains his life-time. The in-universe reason is that [[spoiler:the Watchers are trying to interfere with him trying to protect his friends from them]]. This leads to... [[LivingMacGuffin shenanigans]].
* DeclarationOfProtection: After the third Boogeyman is chosen on Day 1, Grian and the rest of the T.I.E.S. faction swear to protect Skizz from dying to the Boogeyman for the third time that day. Unfortunately for them, Skizz manages to die a ''third'' time that day... [[NotMeThisTime but to a Creeper ambush as opposed to the Boogeyman]], who didn't have the heart to kill Skizz this time.
-->'''Scott:''' What kind of Secret Service [to protect Skizz] was that?!\\
'''Grian:''' I- How could I protect him from that stupidity?
* GenreSavvy: The last three seasons have caused Grian to change his playstyle.
** Since he knows livestock tend to be eradicated fast, he is quick to sequester off a supply of chickens so he can have a good food source late in the season.
** Grian also declines to attempt for a monopoly on sugarcane, since he has never once been able to keep a monopoly.
* LastOfHisKind: After Day 7, Grian remains the last of the Bad Boys. He officially dissolves the faction by joining the Nosy Neighbours at the end of the episode, though he sets up an alliance with them earlier and informs Joel of it beforehand.
* LivingMacGuffin: PlayedForLaughs. On Day 3, due to being AFK, the other Bad Boys spend the vast majority of the session trying to keep Grian safe, while every other faction on the server has partaken in "stealing" him and putting him in random holes on the server, or at least considered doing so. Grian somehow dies twice in the process of everyone on the server fighting over him.
* NoSympathy: Whenever Jimmy barges in to update the other Bad Boys on what's going with Judge Judy And Executioner, Grian repeatedly dismisses him, saying no one cares about the frog sub-plot. During Day 7, Grian admits that he knows nothing about that sub-plot but [[PetTheDog agrees with Joel to have their late faction-mate's funeral at the hole in the wall where he kept the frog]].
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Arguable downplayed case; even though the Boogeyman is supposed to be chosen at the start of the session and could only be rerolled under extraordinary circumstances, Grian ultimately rerolls the mechanism ''twice'' in Day 1 with the support of multiple server-members, due to the first two Boogeymen getting their kills minutes if not ''seconds'' after the announcement.
-->'''Grian:''' ''(in the in-game chat)'' I VOTE WE DO ANOTHER BOOGEYMAN ROLL, SCOTT WAS TOO QUICK
* TemptingFate: Just after passing the one-hour mark on Day 8, Grian narrates that one more death and he will be out of the game. About ten seconds later, he missteps off of Skynet and plunges to his perma-death.
* UranusIsShowing: On Day 7, while climbing up to Skynet 2.0, Grian wonders if one can stand on a gas giant and not fall in[[note]]The answer is no, you can't stand on a gas giant[[/note]], and lists Uranus as an example... and then bursts into a fit of laughter.
* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: On Day 6, while Jimmy is interrogating Lizzie-as-Pearl about Judge Judy And Executioner, Grian presses the button which triggers the PitTrap where both are standing on, killing them both -- while Jimmy dies [[LampshadeHanging yelling at Grian for being an idiot]].
-->'''Jimmy:''' You can't just kill me like that, dude!\\
'''Grian:''' I didn't kill you on purpose, they left buttons on the floor, Jimmy!\\
'''Jimmy:''' And ''why'' did you press them?!\\
'''Grian:''' ''(with gritted teeth)'' BECAUSE I'M '''''ME'''!''

%%character arc description

# On Day 1, Grian's assigned task is to make three bad jokes and get no laughs. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to move five people's front doors at least twice and not be called out for it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, successfully targeting Scar, Big B, Lizzie, Impulse, Gem, and Joel.
# On Day 3, his assigned task is to match the amount of damage Joel takes throughout the session; Joel is allowed to know about this. He fails at this task by the end of the session because Joel died trying to complete ''his'' task, which equates to immediate failure for Grian.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to bait a Yellow into believing his task is to sing everything he says. He succeeds in this task at the end of the session.
# On Day 5, his assigned task is to mimic and join in any bit that is being played out at the time. Although he plays it out in full, his failure to hit the 'Succeed' button by the end of the session results in him failing his task in retrospect.
# On Day 6, he is instructed to reroll for a harder task as punishment for "declaring himself incorrectly successful" the previous session, and winds up having to [TBA]. He [TBA] this task by the end of the session.

* KansasCityShuffle: Grian's Day 4 task revolves around trying to convince another person to believe his task is something that it isn't. After a conversation with Mumbo, Etho, and Cleo to successfully convince ''them'' about the nature of his task, the three send Joel after him, where he manages to convincingly play his part. There ''are'' a few failed attempts at this before that, though -- for instance, when trying to convince Scar (Green at the time), Scar just starts ''singing with him'' instead.
* {{Synchronization}}: Grian's Day 3 secret task boils down to this with Joel, ''à la'' Double Life. However, he refuses to go through with the CantLiveWithoutYou aspect of that season.

# On Day 1, Impulse's assigned task is to "make cherry wood [his] entire identity". He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, by allying with the two cottagecore champions and spreading cherry saplings and petals to everyone else on the server.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to replace a block in someone's base every few minutes, and change six blocks without that person noticing. While he technically succeeds in the task by targeting Bdubs' already cluttered starter base, he blabs it to Tango during the break before pressing the button, ultimately resulting in a fail.
# On Day 3, his assigned task is to "accidentally" take five hearts off of any player with over 25 hearts by any means possible. He fails at this task by the end of the session, as Skizz calls him out on it and questions if that's his task, resulting in instant failure.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is that he's not allowed to kill anything throughout the entire session. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 5, his assigned task, submitted by [=obscureSwan=], is to be in a game of tag with Scott, Tango, and Bdubs, with whoever still being "it" at the session break and the end of the session failing; Yellow Names have to guess all four people involved for them to fail that way.

* BigNo: He lets out a glorious one after accidentally spilling the beans on his Day 2 task before hitting the Success button, as LooseLips mean task failure regardless of one's progress on it.
* EasilyForgiven: Impulse's stint at "accidentally" breaking a boat containing an angry Enderman to target Skizz loses the latter ''nearly 20 hearts''. Skizz isn't even mad about it and just says Impulse did a good job at completing his task, and feels bad for calling him out because it means both of them take Ls.
* OneSteveLimit: Discussed and invoked. By the time of the recording of Secret Life, Impulse has openly revealed on the podcast he hosts with Skizz that his own real-life given name name is Scott, and in the first week, the mining session between himself, Gem and Scott Smajor had them jokingly refer to their group as "Gem and the Scotts". However, they also emphasise that [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname he is strictly Impulse]] and Scott can remain as such to avoid confusion, and due to creator familiarity as well.

----
* TheCreon: He's quite content with his position as "the Hand of the King", showing loyalty to repay Ren for [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife giving him purpose in life]]. It ''is'' double subverted in that he later alleges to have plans to betray Ren, but has still remained ''very'' attached to him and never gets around to doing so.
* DragonTheirFeet: It's not for long, but Martyn actually outlives his boss, Ren, before Scar takes him out.
* FlashbackEffects: His video for Day 6 uses them when Ren reminisces about important lessons his mother taught him.
* {{Foil}}: To Grian. While they're both the Green right hand man to their respective Reds, Grian is only loyal to Scar because he accidentally got him killed on Day 1, and has made it clear that as soon as he loses his first life, he's out. Martyn, meanwhile, remains on Ren's side of his own accord, and though he took one of Ren's lives, it was on purpose, and at Ren's own request. Eventually, both even lost their first lives on the same day as a result of the same event — and both lost their first lives because of each other (Grian was directly killed by Martyn; Martyn died in the counterattack that Grian spearheaded).
* HypercompetentSidekick: Downplayed; while Ren handles much of the negotiation for Dogwarts in its earlier, more benevolent days, Martyn's the one at hand with supplies and defense ''during'' the negotiation, which often double with attempted robberies from other factions.
* ItAmusedMe: Much of Martyn's antics throughout Day 2, from helping to bust the Desert's monopoly on dark oak, to jokingly trying to kill the last Pillager to unleash a second wave in the Village's raid, to dropping gravel on Big B while they're digging their way up from the caves, are done because he's bored and wants to cause drama for the goofs and giggles.
* MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes: On Day 6, after Scar detonates the rigged TNT at Monopoly Mountain, Martyn is caught in the explosion while searching for the Red Army banner in their storage room and experiences a few flashbacks to earlier points in the series, including the establishment of Renchanting, Yellow Life Scar threatening Renchanting, Grian's TNT minecart triple kill, Ren's gory "crowning" as the Red King, and his own declaration of loyalty to Ren. However, he manages to get a shield up in time and thus NoSell the explosion damage, though it's implied that external forces contributed to his survival.

* GoneMadFromTheIsolation: By Day 8, Martyn is the only surviving member of the Southlands, as Mumbo, Impulse and Jimmy had died permanently and Grian had turned Red. His episode opens with Martyn imitating Mumbo's intro again, except Mumbo and Jimmy are replaced with armor stands with pumpkins for faces, spyglasses poorly propped up next to them. Martyn does imitations of all of their voices as he plays out Jimmy laughing at his imitation of Mumbo's intro, as well as Mumbo coming up to scold him... And then the screen glitches, the armor stands are gone, and Martyn is completely alone once again.

* ILied: After Jimmy runs off with his life, Martyn chases him down and promises that if he gives it back, they can run away together. Jimmy is hesitant at first, but Martyn insists they can figure things out together, like trying to seek refuge with Scar or with the Fairy Fort. Jimmy is convinced and gives him the life back, and Martyn instantly turns around and walks back to the Southlands.
-->'''Martyn:''' I didn't mean a word I just said. You're an idiot.
* PungeonMaster: Made ''so'' many "aha" puns on Day 1 that from Day 2 onward, the Southlands implemented an "[[TheSwearJar Aha Ja-har]]".
* SoleSurvivor: This was temporary. Martyn was the final non-Red player and made his final stand atop Magical Mountain (Scar's base), pouring lava down the sides as a beacon and protection. In the end, Pearl knocks him off the remains of Scar's base, causing him to die of fall damage and become a Red Name.
* {{Troll}}: ZigZaggingTrope. Late in Day 8 after Big B and Scar's deaths, Martyn places an End crystal where he and the other Survivors are gathering, in the middle of a conversation about how there ''has'' to be a Boogeyman among the group. Martyn says he did so to see if the Boogeyman would go for it and to [[ItAmusedMe see everyone's reactions]]. However, the former reason is rooted in how he's an acolyte for the Shadow, [[spoiler:i.e. the Watcher,]] who is trying to see if Scott is going to take the bait and turn the ''entire server'' Red for a Boogeyman kill (he doesn't), making this in part ''not'' troll behaviour.

* AccidentalMurder: Martyn apologizes to an AFK Grian for accidentally killing him with a pufferfish he set down, as he was using it in self-defense against the other Bad Boys trying to murder him at the time. He then attempts to atone by digging Grian down another hole out of everyone's line of sight so he doesn't get killed again.
* AffablyEvil: Even as the third Boogeyman of Day 1, he manages to resist the urge to kill Skizz for the third time that day because he [[SympathyForTheHero didn't have the heart to do so]]. Even after he ''makes'' the kill, he takes the time to compensate his victim for the loss in life-time with diamonds.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: Martyn spends the first half of Day 6 setting up his birthday party, rigged TNT to get some life-time back included, as the episode is released on his birthday. Despite this, the Bad Boys bomb the party from above, resulting in no one getting ''any'' life-time back at the party.
* CombatPragmatist: When he, Scott, and Impulse are setting up the final deathmatch between the three of them, he strikes while their guards are down, killing Scott and making quick work of the unarmored Impulse afterward, winning the series.
* EpicFail: When surrounded by a group of attackers on Day 7, he plops down a TNT minecart and laughs maniacally before... accidentally blowing himself up with it. The blast didn't even take any of his attackers down with him.
* HistoryRepeats: Let it be said that this isn't the first time Martyn has killed his ally at their own request.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Come Day 2 and Martyn is back on the punning game, variously referring to his faction as the "Mean Gills", the "H[[subscript:2]]Bros", "Santa's Little Kelpers", the "Sons of Beaches", the "Big Buoys", "[=LGBSea=]", "the Shelldons", "Beauty and the Beach", and "the Salmen" (vetoed).
* KillSteal: On Day 6, while Grian and Joel are attacking Tango for being Yellow and at what's clearly the wrong place at the wrong time, Martyn leaps in and takes the kill instead, upsetting the two Bad Boys.
* MurderByMistake: On Day 4, Martyn accidentally kills Scar by dropping a stalactite on him; the kill was made with Impulse in mind as the victim. This is immediately followed by [[ApologeticAttacker frantic apologies]] that he hit the wrong target.
* TeleportationSickness: While Tango claims his Boogeyman kill, Martyn's death is more accurately caused by him ender-pearling on half a heart. Since ender-pearling results in the loss of 2.5 hearts of health, his escape ultimately kills him.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[ZigZaggingTrope Played with]]. After settling on the Coral Isles with Scott on Day 2, Martyn has, for the most part, stayed loyal to and at times protective of his faction-mate; even if they have ended up on opposite sides of the Clockers vs. T.I.E.S. conflicts occasionally, he still refuses to kill Scott unless it's at his own request. However, Martyn ''does'' wind up taking Scott out of the season entirely in the final duel that never came to be [[spoiler:under the influence of the Watchers]]... though considering Scott is ultimately content with how he went out post-mortem, it's not really much of a betrayal in the end.

# On Day 1, Martyn's assigned task is to build an identical base to another player. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session by reconstructing Lizzie's half-completed base.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to convince someone to burn down his house and not get called out. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session by tricking Jimmy into thinking Scar built it and to burn it for him.
# On Day 3, he is informed by [=olavivarrud4180=] that someone else on the server has the same task as him, and he has to find out who they are; he is explicitly directed to not reroll his task. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, using 'twins' as the code word and eventually sussing out Skizz for using a similar tactic.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to "snitch" on a Green Name by telling a Yellow Name that they're doing a task they aren't doing, and can only succeed if the Yellow Name guesses the Green Name's task incorrectly. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, convincing Joel that Etho's task is to make "aha" puns.
# On Day 5, his assigned tasks begin to vary as a Red Life:
** His first task is create a damging trap in another person's base, succeeding if it is triggered unintentionally but having to restart if it is discovered. He succeeds in this task with a [[SpikesOfDoom dripstone stalagmite pit]] in Big B's stairs to his Backrooms base.
** His second task is to go invisible and hit at least five people with a sword in a minute, without being hit back. He succeeds in this task.
** His third task is to find a Green Name with at least 20 hearts of health and take approximately 10 hearts off of them in any way. He does not complete this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 6, his assigned tasks continue to vary as a Red Life:
** His first task is to hit a Green Name with a sword until they either block with a shield or die. He succeeds in this task by attacking Impulse while they're alone with each other.
** His second task is to deal any amount of damage to a non-Red Name using an anvil. He succeeds in this task by dropping one on Ren-as-Tango just after the Heart Foundation rolls their lottery winner.
** His third task is to make a deal with a non-Red Name to cause at least three hearts of damage to another non-Red Name. He succeeds in this task by exploiting Bdubs' existing grudge against Scar to convince him to take the deal.
** His fourth task is to summon a mob using a spawn egg to deal any amount of damage to any Green Name.

* BigStupidDoodooHead: {{Discussed|Trope}} on Day 6; when Jimmy questions Martyn on how he's managed to complete two tasks early into the session, he lies and replies his tasks were sneezing and calling someone a "stinky poo-poo head".
* LeeroyJenkins: While Martyn has always had a reckless streak, the AntiRegeneration mechanism of the season highlights and {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s it, as exemplified by him taking tremendous amounts of damage on Day 1 and being the first to go Yellow on the server on Day 2.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: After accidentally walking into the Void, it eats away at Martyn's ''full 30 hearts'' while he can only futily try to heal up in a [[OhCrap bluescreened state of mind]].

Lizzie is a talented builder, and a strong leader. She's kind, though you'd do best not to make her angry. In real life, she's married to Joel.
!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' Fairy Fort, Castle Alliance/Shadow Alliance
Lizzie built the Fairy Fort, and created the Castle Alliance with Cleo, Big B and Ren. Her intention was to stay peaceful, and the people she gathered looked up to her as their leader. However, after Cleo's death at Big B's hands, Cleo retaliated by burning the Fairy Fort down to the ground, forcing Lizzie to flee to the Shadow Tower and make a new home there. However, this didn't last long, as soon after she dropped to Red, and was then killed by Bdubs.\\

* AccidentalMurder: Her trap against Boogeymen on Day 6 was set off by Jimmy, who died in [[StuffBlowingUp the blast of 7 TNT-minecarts]]; although since he was a Boogeyman, the trap really did fulfill its purpose.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: After becoming a Red Name, Lizzie seeks out her husband in the Red alliance, who is a renowned MadBomber and has attempted to ''murder'' her on two occasions before this, and claims to have always had a thing for Red Names and bad boys… only for Scar to walk in on their moment together.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: She tames three wolves on Day 1 and names them after things that scare people -- "Dragon", "Ogre", and "[[IntimidatingRevenueService Taxes]]".
* BreakTheCutie: Day 6 was this to her -- she had her items stolen/destroyed, her dogs ''all'' die at various points in the day, she lost two lives and became a Red Name, and was forced to leave her allies as a result. Considering the events of Last Life are apparently traumatic enough for her to leave the series altogether (excluding her temporarily subbing in for Pearl in Limited Life)...
* FatalFireworks: Her preferred weapon as a Red Name is a firework-loaded crossbow, which she uses to weaken her victims before going in for the kill.
* FirstNameBasis: Lizzie's full given name is Elizabeth, but no one on the server has called her that other than Joel in a case of OOCIsSeriousBusiness.
* FlowersOfNature: She wears a flower crown as a founding member of the alliance based in the dark oak forest.
* HopeSpot: On Day 2, after escaping from Joel and his Boogeyman's trap, Lizzie flees out of the mountain on half a heart, only to die from a zombie right after that.
* InSeriesNickname: Ren called her the "Queen of Shadows" up until she became a Red Name.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: {{Inverted|Trope}}. On Day 2, upon noticing that Joel was down to two lives, Lizzie goes to Tango to bet one of her lives on Joel being the first Red Name on the server, believing that Joel would get himself killed in trying to kill others as the Boogeyman. After placing her bet and contemplating her decision on the way home, Joel manages to rid himself of the Boogeyman curse after killing Scott, but is killed by Pearl right afterward, proving Lizzie's prediction that he would get himself killed while trying to kill others right, and earning Lizzie four lives from the gamble.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: How she loses her second-to-last life on Day 6, in a trap set by Jimmy.
* StartOfDarkness: She sees Big B's Boogeyman kill against Cleo as this for herself due to it shattering their alliance, and cites it as her reason for targeting and killing Big B first upon her turn to Red.
* ThatWomanIsDead: Ren catches her looting the Shadow Tower after her turn to Red and calls out to her by the name "Shadow Queen". Lizzie replies that she doesn't know who that is.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In an attempt to score a Boogeyman kill, Lizzie-as-Pearl lured the Bad Boys to real Pearl's PitTrap. But Grian, being [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo Grian]], decided to press all the buttons he saw, accidentally catching both her and Jimmy with the trap.
* LuredIntoATrap: Lizzie-as-Pearl obtains her Boogeyman kill on Grian this way, by tricking him into a rigged "minigame" triggered by [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo buttons]]. When he doesn't fall for it, she just shoves him into the lava pit.
* StickyFingers: She has no qualms stealing random enchanters in the wild or the Entertainment Mountain doormat for its item frame.

# On Day 1, Lizzie's assigned task is to write a poem about another player and read it to them. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session, with a very confused Joel as her target.
# On Day 2, her assigned task is to get accused of doing three fictional secret tasks. She fails at this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 3, her assigned task is to never deny any requests or questions from another player. She deliberately chooses to fail at this task by the end of the session, refusing to risk her life abiding by Joel's suggestion to attempt ''his'' secret task after just turning Yellow.
# On Day 4, her assigned task is to connect her base to everyone else's. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session with help from Scott.
# On Day 5, her assigned task is that every time someone tells her to do something, she has to repeat it back to them in a quieter, whiny voice for the entire session; she chooses to reroll it to getting the entire server to sleep through the night. The Life series being the Life series, she fails at this task by the end of the session.

----
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Zig-zagged. After her final death, Jimmy's first reaction after comprehending it is celebrating because it's the first season ''he'' doesn't perma-die first… while everyone else is saddened and Joel is ''very'' offended by Jimmy celebrating his own survival.
* ExtremeDoormat: {{Invoked|Trope}} on Day 3, where her task forbids her from saying "no" to any suggestion from another player. This goes awry by the end of the session: Joel suggesting she leave his base in the dead of night by going down the water slide ends up causing her first death of the season; after joining her husband as a Yellow Life, [[SubvertedTrope she refuses to take any further risks]], like trying to pull a 100-block water bucket clutch as Joel said she could do earlier in the conversation.
-->'''Lizzie:''' ''(just after trying to leave the base)'' Oh, there's a Skeleton out here! ''(retreats back into the base)'' I think I'll wait till daytime.\\

''(sees a Skeleton at the base of the slide)'' [[OhCrap EVERYTHING'S GOING WRONG!]]\\
'''[=LDShadowLady=] was shot by Skeleton'''
* KansasCityShuffle: The essence of Lizzie's Day 2 task is to convince other players she's doing a certain secret task, when her ''actual'' secret task is to do that [[RuleOfThree three times]]. Unfortunately for her, while everyone she encounters notices that she's acting weird, ''the entire server'' is acting weird and don't think too much of it anymore, and without anyone directly accusing her of doing a secret task, she fails the task in the end.
** First, she collects honeycomb by directly shearing bee hives and nests without placing a campfire underneath them, risking certain damage from angry bees with poison-inflicting stings, in order to trick people into thinking it's part of her task.
** Then, she places a random block of red glazed terracotta in Joel's Helter Skelter, Bdubs' new house, and Mumbo's house.
** After that, she tries decorating Big B's entrance hall with dripstone stalactites and sneaking away; she only succeeds in being weirded out by ''Big B's'' antics in return.
** Finally, she tries speaking in a TotallyRadical manner to Etho and Cleo, referring them by various different words for 'friends'.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After no one (other than Joel) comes to her server-wide party on Day 5 so she can complete her assigned secret task, Lizzie plots to kill ''the entire server'' in retaliation for the rejection when she turns Red later the same day.
* SkewedPriorities: On Day 2, Lizzie gives away her three ''ancient debris'' to Grian in exchange for orange dye so she can build a pretty house... in the middle of a DeadlyGame.

Mumbo is an incredibly talented redstoner and strategist. Despite his outward polite appearance, Mumbo takes a surprising amount of glee in designing traps and weaponizing anything he can get his hands on.

!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' The Southlands
After being offered a place to live by both Grian and Scar, Mumbo wound up going with Grian when he learned that Grian had sugar cane, and helped him establish the Southlands.\\
\\
Mumbo remained a member of the Southlands, creating most of their defensive traps, their sugar cane farm, and a Ghast farm to supply him with the materials to make End Crystals. However, after turning Red, he went back to the Southlands in an attempt to kill his former allies and destroy the sugar cane farm he'd built them.\\
\\
After the remaining factions fell apart, Mumbo and Jimmy tried unsuccessfully lure Grian and Martyn into a trap at the remains of the Southlands. Grian and Martyn didn't buy it, and the two duos remained in a tense stalemate, until Jimmy punched Grian and triggered a fight. Mumbo tried to defend Jimmy, but Grian started hunting him down too, and his attempt to run ended in failure as Grian killed him.\\

* AwesomeButImpractical: His [[WeaponSpecialization preferred weapon]], End Crystals. They are ''immensely'' powerful when used right, capable of killing anyone standing near it in an instant, and all you need to do to set it off is either punch it or shoot it. However, if used wrong it's pretty much guaranteed to backfire and kill the user instead of their target, and making them is so expensive and time-consuming (including the construction and use of a Ghast farm that has gotten two people killed) that nobody has more than just a few of them in their inventory at one time, requiring them to use them incredibly sparingly.
* GeniusDitz: Mumbo is one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to redstone, not just on the server but in the entire Minecraft community. He is also ''terrible'' at pretty much every other aspect of the game, to the point where he lost a gold block on Day 1 when he mined it with a stone pickaxe, not realizing he'd need an iron one.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: Mumbo loses his first two lives this way, first by backing away from a Piglin Brute and falling through a hole in the floor to the lava below, and second by Scar dumping lava on him and then attacking with his sword for his Boogeyman kill.
* WeaponSpecialization: Mumbo isn't great at hand-to-hand combat, so instead, he prefers to fight using End crystals. He even built a ghast farm specifically to obtain the supplies needed to make them.

* FaceHeelTurn: Goes rogue against the Mounders as a Red Name, going as far as to target them in their own base for his Red tasks.
* SelfImposedChallenge: {{Invoked|Trope}} and played with.
** On Day 1, Mumbo is inspired by Bdubs' upside-down house to build his own base sideways, i.e. rotated clockwise by 90 degrees. What makes this a ''challenge'' is that the reason Bdubs did so in the first place is because he did so to fulfill a requirement of his assigned secret task for the day, which he couldn't tell Mumbo about.
** On Day 3, he does his best to kill Scar's camel in the most discrete way possible -- trying to get it through the world border, testing if camels could drown, and riding it through berry bushes and fire, all while vehemently claiming he was keeping the camel safe.

->'''IGN:''' [=PearlescentMoon=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Pearl\\
'''First Joined:''' Last Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 2, 3, 4, 5

A talented builder and loyal friend. Pearl is a soft-spoken, cheerful and friendly person who's more than happy to make friends with anything and anyone she sees. However, she's also got zero qualms about killing those who cross her, and while she's loyal to her closest allies, everyone else she's willing to throw under the bus at a moment's notice if it benefits her.
----
* SleepDeprivation: Discussed on a meta level; Pearl [[LandDownUnder lives in Australia in real life]] and the ''Life'' series is filmed very early in the morning in her time zone. This is often suggested to be the cause of her at-times unhinged behaviour throughout the series, especially in Double Life.

!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' The Scottage/Three Gs/Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss, Survivors, Larger Red Alliance
Pearl teamed up with Scott for protection, with the promise that she would grant him a life if they kept each other safe, and they set up a base together in a taiga biome near spawn. She wound up giving him two lives to ensure he'd keep himself out of Red, and the two of them forged a strong friendship.\\
\\
Pearl started on the creation of the Green Lives Club, a club only for people with three or more lives. After a few locations for the club were discovered and destroyed, she decided to build it in the mountains, far away from any established bases. The Green Lives Club never truly came to fruition however, as by the time it was ready, every faction had completely collapsed, and the Club ended up being used as a hiding place for the remaining Survivors.\\
\\
Except housing the Greens had never truly been its purpose, as the entire club was rigged with TNT. Pearl managed to blow up the Club and take out Ren when she became Boogeyman, rendering the Green Lives Club practically unusable, especially since Scott had turned Red and knew where it was. After Pearl was brought down to Red however, she confronted Joel about killing her axolotls, and threw a potion of harming at him, immediately fracturing the semi-stable truce between the Reds. She helped the Larger Red Alliance hunt down Grian and Joel, and died for good during the final battle.

----
* {{Foil}}: To Scott. Scott and Pearl are close allies and immensely loyal to one another, but where Scott is pacifistic and prefers to resolve things with words, Pearl is decidedly ''not''. This was most evident on Days 8 and 9; when Scott became Boogeyman on Day 8, he immediately told his allies, and voluntarily went Red at the end of the day because he didn't want to betray them. When Pearl became the Boogeyman on Day 9, she stayed silent about it, and instead of trying to just kill one person to get rid of the curse, she tried to kill ''all of the remaining Survivors'' with the TNT trap in the Green Lives Club (though she only managed to get Ren).
* InSeriesNickname: Of the Three Gs, she's "Girlboss".
* LastOfHisKind: This was temporary. She was the final Dark Green name, but she ignored any advantages or disadvantages it may have brought her.
* ProperlyParanoid: At the beginning of Day 3, she is nervous when she and Scott are doing separate tasks and jumps at every sound, as she thinks that Joel, who she brought down to his last life, is probably going to come for her first. Sure enough, she returns to their base later and discovers a TNT minecart trap which didn't go off due to the explosives being in the wrong spot. Joel soon reveals himself to ask why it didn't work.
* PutOnABus: She was absent during the latter half of Day 7 due to a power outage.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Had her power in real life not gone out, the second half of Day 7 would have been very different. If she wasn't forced to leave, then Martyn wouldn't have been selected as the Boogeyman during the reroll. If Martyn hadn't been the Boogeyman, he would have had no reason to turn on Grian and inadvertently give Joel the chance to swoop in and kill him. If Grian hadn't died, then he wouldn't have teamed up with Impulse to summon the Wither in an attempt to kill Etho, which would result in the deaths of Impulse, Bdubs, and Lizzie.

!!Double Life
->'''Paired with:''' Scott
Pearl starts the series going along with Martyn's adventures on Day 1, only for the two to find their respective soulmates, Scott and Cleo, have teamed up and left them for each other at the end of the session. Only relying on her CanineCompanion Tilly, Pearl doesn't take this rejection well, and the loneliness slowly chips away at her mental stability for the rest of the season. While she teams up with Scott again on Day 5 as part of a Yellow Life alliance, she is only able to bring herself to forgive him posthumously ([[CantLiveWithoutYou on both ends]]), after his sacrifice allows her to win the season.

* CanineCompanion: Tilly, her dog that she tamed on Day 1, who has consistently remained her companion for most of her adventures in the series.
* CutenessProximity: To a frog she saw on Day 1 while chatting with Impulse and Bdubs.
* FoodAsBribe: On Day 5, Pearl tries to bribe [=BigB=] into giving her and her allies the Enchanting Table that the Reds looted from Scar with [[TrademarkFavouriteFood cookies]]. [[BribeBackfire It doesn't work]].
* InSeriesNickname: While wearing her Red Life skin, Pearl is sometimes called "the Scarlet Pearl", and is deemed an honorary Red Life because of this.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: When everyone leaves her, [[CanineCompanion Tilly]] is the only one who is there for Pearl; when Impulse burns Tilly in lava in the final battle, Pearl [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge goes berserk]] and almost effortlessly kills Impulse, Bdubs, Cleo, ''and'' Martyn with an axe and her army of dogs.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She just wants to have friends and is never actively malicious, but she keeps being blamed for deaths that are only indirectly caused by her.
-->'''Rendog:''' You came here and you caused death, whether you tried to or not. There's something wicked within you.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Platonic variant, for obvious reasons.
** She goes in this direction on Day 2 after being rejected by her soulmate, Scott, and abandoned by her only friend Martyn. She changes to her Red Life skin and frightens off other people with her tendency to remotely torture Scott by using powdered snow on herself. She calms down a bit on Day 5 once [[WorkingWithTheEx the two team up again]], and it takes until the end of the series for Pearl to finally forgive Scott, after he allows her to win the series by taking himself out.
** On Day 5, Grian and Scar try to {{exploit|edTrope}} her reputation as this to hide out in her tower-base, and while Pearl is willing to accept them into the alliance, Scott objects as it's putting a target on their backs. Grian and Scar end up pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere with a boat when the Red Names indeed start surrounding the tower.
* SanitySlippage: As series goes on, loneliness and abandonment gets to her, she becomes more unhinged with each passing day. It culminates in last episode when she chants "[[MadnessMantra Something wicked this way comes]]" before attacking Impulse and Bdubs, and then Martyn and Cleo, killing both in 1 vs 2 PVP fights and feeling no remorse after.
* WildlifeCommentarySpoof: She briefly does this with a Creator/DavidAttenborough impression on Day 4 while watching Grian and Scar get hunted down by Red Names and Scar trading sand for his life and his horse back under her tower-base, though minus the fake and silly scientific names.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: On Day 8, Pearl constructs her minigame trap out of wood even though it involves lava. Predictably, the structures catch on fire quickly.
* TheDreaded: Attempted on Day 4 by [[InvokedTrope prematurely switching]] to her Scarlet Pearl skin to incite some fear in her server-mates. However by this point, the server has long given in to chaos, with people dying in droves even before the Boogey gets picked for the session, so [[SubvertedTrope the impact from her appearance is lost in the series]].
-->'''Pearl:''' I was just trying to mess up some minds a little bit, but everyone's already lost 'em!
* DualWielding: On Day 1, Pearl finds two diamond hoes in the Woodland Mansion and proceeds to dual-wield them, though considering that Minecraft hoes are functionally not very useful in combat and that you can't properly dual-wield in Minecraft anyway, it's mainly for show and intimidation.
* IdiotBall: The first half of Day 5 features Pearl making many impulsive decisions, such as stealing the Mean Gills' enchantment table, refusing to give it back when Scott tries to blackmail her and Big B over the location of Judge Judy And Executioner the frog, and spleefing the frog while thinking it would survive. After the mid-session break, she acknowledges that [[LampshadeHanging she had no idea why she did all that]], and her episode for the day is fittingly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZkkVSU6ksI "No Braincells"]]. Unfortunately for Pearl, her actions cost the Nosy Neighbours their tentative alliance with the Mean Gills... at least, for the rest of the episode.
* IfICantHaveYou: SubvertedTrope. On Day 5, after Jimmy finds out where the Nosy Neighbours hid Judge Judy And Executioner the frog after stealing it[[note]]Scott found out and told Jimmy because the Nosy Neighbours stole his enchanter and wouldn't give it back in spite of his {{Blackmail}} attempt[[/note]], Pearl spleefs out the block under the poor frog and causes it to fall to its death in a ravine. Pearl later confesses that she thought Judge Judy and Executioner [[AccidentalMurder could survive the fall]].
* InterspeciesAdoption: Discussed; Pearl's cat Froggy is named as such because it was raised by frogs. In actuality, she tamed the cat and it was named at Big B's original base in the mountainous savanna, where many frogs spawn.
* OhCrap: On Day 3, her episode briefly pauses on Scar's TNT minecart being ready to launch right next to her on the Bread Bridge. She gets away quickly enough from the trap, but it doesn't stop her from being killed by Scar by [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou other means]] not two minutes later.
* NeatFreak: While commentating on the events of Day 6, Pearl is quite bothered by Lizzie's messy inventory, then quickly backtracks as "this is Limited Life, not Hermitcraft [Season 9]".
* PutOnABus: Played with. Since Pearl was in Japan for the recording session, Lizzie subs in for Pearl on Day 6. However, since they're playing on the same account, Lizzie has to ''very unconvincingly'' play Pearl for the session.
* WildlifeCommentarySpoof: She briefly does this with a Creator/DavidAttenborough impression again while watching a fight on the Skynet between the Clockers, the Mean Gills, and the T.I.E.S. in the latter half of Day 7.
-->'''Pearl:''' Arrows be flying and people are turning into porcupines. [[LampshadeHanging I did not realize this was an animal documentary]]. Yet somehow, an arrow was flung my way. Do I get to pick that up? ''(reverting to her normal voice)'' I mean, sure! Keep at them! I want more arrows! Give them to me! The more I get to shoot you off with them!

%%character arc description

# On Day 1, Pearl's assigned task is to get three players to gift her a heart. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session through deals with Etho, Lizzie, and Jimmy.
# On Day 2, her assigned task is to send another player on a wild goose chase. She unknowingly succeeds in this task by the end of the session, using a trail of red terracotta blocks to lead Lizzie into a little cave she dug out. Amidst the [[PoorCommunicationKills confusion]], however, she accidentally reveals her task right before pressing the button, ultimately resulting in a fail.
# On Day 3, her assigned task is to request an item five times in a conversation but never pick it up, without getting called out for this. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session while joking around with Bdubs, Tango, Etho, and Scott.
# On Day 4, her assigned task, submitted by [=Minijimi25=], is to do whatever Impulse says the entire session; Impulse has to know about this. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session, though being dragged along for the Ender Dragon fights costs her most of her health.
# On Day 5, her assigned task, submitted by [=_term1576=], is to essentially play HotPotato with her secret task book, ensuring it's always in a player's inventory and to keep a slot in her own inventory open, while others have to try to return the book to her; if she has the book with her at the end of the session, she fails, and if anyone else has the book by the end of the session, they have to reroll for a hard task on Day 6.[[note]]This task cannot be called out by Yellow Names and by nature, cannot be failed if read by others.[[/note]] She succeeds in this task by the end of the session, condemning Etho to a reroll for the next session.
# On Day 6, her assigned task is to approach any or multiple Red Names to inform them of her current task and be instructed on how to damage a Green player; she passes if she hurts three different Green Names under such instructions, and fails if a Yellow Name calls her a traitor specifically. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session, setting Etho on fire at Lizzie's request, landing a crit on Skizz with a diamond sword after convincing him to give her a Protection III book at Jimmy's request, and dropping dripstone on Big B at Martyn's request.

%%|| Day || Cause || Lives remaining ||
----
* ForcedIntoEvil: The nature of her Day 6 task requires her to act as "an imposter" against her fellow Green Names, dealing damage to them under the orders of the Red Names of the server.
* InSeriesNickname: Jimmy repeatedly calls her "Shakespeare" on Day 3 for waxing poetic about the environment around her.
* LandDownUnder: Pearl's Hermitcraft RunningGag of flipping mobs and building upside down is a nod to the fact she's Australian in real life. The hobbit hole house she builds on Day 1 is a reference to this existing gag; it's built the right side up, but the rationale behind it is that it's upside down ''by Australian standards''.
* {{Touche}}: While initially annoyed at Gem filling her chest with light grey stained glass for her secret task on Day 2, Pearl eventually concedes that it was well-played.

->'''IGN:''' Renthedog, Tango (as "Tango", Secret Life only)\\
'''Preferred name:''' Ren\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 5 (guest; as "Tango")
A strong fighter and leader with a flair for the dramatic, Ren is always the one creating the most insane plotlines on the server. He's extremely persuasive, but doesn't take well to being told no, or others making demands of him.

!!3rd Life
->'''Faction:''' Dogwarts
Ren allied himself with Martyn and opened Renchanting, the server's first proper shop. Ren was the first to get an enchantment table, and used it as a basis for his enchanting emporium, allowing people to come in to enchant their items in exchange for resources. Renchanting quickly grew to a proper faction called Dogwarts, but one that quickly fell out of favor with the Desert after Ren refused to give Scar his enchantment table in exchange for protection.\\
\\
After his first death caused by Grian, Ren made it his mission to take over the entire server. For that reason, he ordered Martyn to kill him to put him on his Red life, and donned the mantle of the Red King, and proceeds to go around to everyone else, demanding tribute.

|| Day || Cause || Lives remaining ||

|| 5 || Killed by Martyn at his own request || [[red:1]] ||
|| 8 || Killed by Scar (Battle of Dogwarts) || [[gray:0]] ||
----
* BeyondRedemption: Grian and Scar certainly think he has become this by the end of Day 5 after purposefully having his people aim at and kill their pet llama, Pizza, over Scar stealing a [[DisproportionateRetribution single Red Winter banner]], then [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou blaming Scar and Grian for Pizza's death]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Ren cares about Dogwarts to the end, to the point of entering a battle that was clearly not in their favor near the end of Day 7 because Skizz went in.
* FaceHeelTurn: After Day 1, Scar is the first and only Red and is something of a BigBad, while Ren is friendly to all and sells the use of his enchanting table at low prices, seeming like a BigGood. Once he loses a life to Grian's trap, however, Ren becomes vengeful, orders Martyn to execute him to deliberately become Red, and within a few episodes becomes a warlord, putting anyone who won't join the Red Army in his black book and attacking anyone who disrespects Dogwarts, especially the Red Desert. By the end of the season, the Red Desert and the Crastle have [[EnemyMine united to take him down]].
* GetOut: After Scar tries to steal his business model and nearly declares an all-out war on Day 3, Ren is pretty fed up with him when he comes crawling back on Day 4.
-->'''Scar:''' ...can I use your enchanter?\\
'''Ren:''' ''(indignant) No!'' Get out!
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: He tells Martyn this halfway through Day 8, swearing to go down hand in hand while taking out as many of their enemies as possible, and reiterates it to the remainder of the Dogwarts forces just before the Battle of Dogwarts.
* OffWithHisHead: His second death is stated to be a beheading in-universe.
* RedBaron: After having Martyn turn him Red, Ren donned the mantle of "the Red King".
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: He adopts a [[ColdHam dramatic-sounding]] accent when he gets into the role of the Red King, though even he's not sure exactly what it's supposed to be. It shifts between Scottish, "Pirate", and his [[OohMeAccentsSlipping own South African accent]], among others.

!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' Castle Alliance/Shadow Alliance, Survivors, Larger Red Alliance
Initially solitary and living in his own tower, Ren soon aligned with Lizzie and the Castle Alliance and constructed the Shadow Tower. He became the de-facto leader of the Shadow Alliance, a secret organization dedicated to gathering as much info as they could.\\
\\
The Shadow Tower became the last refuge of the Survivors in the last few days, as the last defensible structure still left standing. Ren briefly became the de-facto leader of the Survivors after Scott turned Red, but was betrayed and blown up by Pearl, that day's Boogeyman. He allied himself with the Larger Red Alliance anyway, and was one of the last four standing. He very nearly won the series, but was narrowly beaten in combat by Scott.

----
* BadLiar: On Day 4, Ren is immediately caught when he tries to lie about being the Boogeyman. He admits to this as well.
* ColdHam: Ren often speaks in a rather dramatic manner, especially while negotiating.
* {{Determinator}}: The very end of the series comes down to Ren vs. Scott, during which Ren takes a frankly ''ridiculous'' amount of arrows and continues fighting despite looking like a porcupine.
* {{Foil}}: With Big B; both are assigned as Boogeymen on Day 4 and were from the same alliance, but their paths diverge from there. Ren tells his allies about his curse, swears to never hurt them, and gains their trust as well as help in his mission; when he's cured, he pays reparations to his victim and ends on good terms with everybody. On the other hand, Big B stays quiet, growing more desperate as time runs out, and doesn't see any other solution than killing his closest ally; this leads to him being ridden with guilt and his actions eventually haunt him and the splintered remains of the Shadow Alliance for the rest of the season.

[[folder:Scott Smajor]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scottdarkgreen.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:[[labelnote:Cick here to see his other skin color variants]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scottgreen.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scottyellow.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scottred.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''IGN:''' [=Smajor1995=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Scott\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A talented builder, conversationalist and strategist. Scott is a no-nonsense person who usually just wants to be left alone, and will try to defuse any arguments that happen when he's nearby. He's also deeply loyal to everyone he allies with, and will give up his life if it means those he cares about are safe.
----
* CampGay: Scott is openly gay, has an effeminate way of speaking, a love for cute things, and makes quite a few jokes about being attracted to his male servermates.
* TheFettered: He's considerably more willing to hold true to his principles than others, and has stayed consistently reliable and relatively pacifistic throughout the series. [[spoiler:This is one of the reasons the Watchers hate him so much, even without the Boogeyman incident from Last Life.]]
* LastNameBasis: Ren calls him 'Major', his real-life surname.
* LongRangeFighter: While Scott ''can'' fight with a sword or axe, he prefers ranged weapons like bows (for long distances) and splash potions (for close combat).
* LovableAlphaBitch: GenderInvertedTrope. It's undeniable that Scott has a petty and spiteful streak a mile wide and is described to be like a Film/{{Mean Girl|s}} at his worst. He's also incredibly loyal and devoted, and is willing to lay down his life for those he cares about. [[spoiler:On top of all that, the Watchers ''despise'' him for trying to stay moral in a game of betrayal and violence, i.e. going against what [[GodIsEvil the resident deity-equivalents themselves]] consider to be the "proper" way to play the DeadlyGame; in essence, his spite ''and'' his bleeding heart go hand in hand.]]
* MartialPacifist: Scott rarely resorts to violence or the threat of violence to get his way, and prefers to use words rather than weapons to get people to leave him and his allies alone. However, when it comes down to it, Scott is an ''incredibly'' clever combatant, taking full advantage of the terrain and his arsenal of potions to take down his opponent.
* OnlySaneMan: Scott is very rarely amused by his server-mates' shenanigans, and is quick to poke holes in whatever lies anyone tells him.
* TheSmartGuy: Scott is perhaps the most knowledgeable person on the server when it comes to arming and disarming traps, prefers to think things through before leaping into a bad situation, and is nearly impossible to trick. This also translates to his fighting style, as he prefers to rely on various combinations of potions and uses the terrain around him to his advantage.

!!3rd Life
->'''Faction:''' Flower Forest, The Red Desert (briefly)
Scott's strategy for survival was to hide out in a distant corner of the map to stay out of sight of others. He teamed up with Jimmy, and made their base in a relatively hidden valley in the middle of a flower forest, surrounded by a wall in order to ward off potential attackers. He proceeds to marry Jimmy, and tries to settle down with his new husband, but slowly but surely, the collapsing politics of the other factions drag them both down too as they ally themselves with the Red Desert.\\
\\
After the death of Jimmy during the Battle of the Red Desert, Scott vowed revenge on Dogwarts, and formally teamed up with Scar and Grian. However, while attempting to recover his armor and weapons, he was spotted, hunted down, and killed.
|| Day || Cause || Lives remaining ||
|| 7 || Shot by Etho (Battle of the Red Desert) || [[gold:2]] ||
|| 8 || Killed by Martyn and Ren (Battle of Dogwarts) || [[red:1]] ||
|| 8 || Killed by Martyn and Ren || [[gray:0]] ||
----
* ArrowsOnFire: He used a bow enchanted with Flame in battles, but lost it after his first death.
* BigNo:
** He reacts this way in combination with BigOMG when he witnessed Jimmy, Ren, and Skizzle getting blown up by Jimmy accidentally moving the TNT minecart trap that Grian and Scar set up.
** His last words prior to his third and final death.
* EnemyMine: After being initially on bad terms with the Desert, Scott felt that there really was no choice except to team with them after Ren turned Red and Dogwarts turned very outwardly hostile.
* HeroicBSOD: Bdubs notes at the end of Day 7 that Scott appeared to be "dazed" from the way he spoke. Considering what had happened earlier that day, it's not hard to guess why.[[note]]The 'heroic' part is somewhat downplayed due to the GreyAndGrayMorality of the series, but the Flower Forest faction is often argued to be the closest thing to a peaceful or morally good faction the server has, so it still works.[[/note]]
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: PlayedForLaughs. On Day 5, Scott spies and overhears Etho's execution by firing squad for allgedly being an AccompliceByInaction to Tango breaking the No Helmets rule, but never hears about ''why'' this is happening. He surmises they're part of a cult and leaves without asking for context.
* PreMortemOneLiner: "Hi, [=BigB=]!"
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge[=/=]{{Crusading Widow}}er: Scott was fairly neutral on the server, only tentatively allying with Grian and Scar out of necessity after his relations with Dogwarts soured. However, after Jimmy is KilledOffForReal in the Battle for the Red Desert, Scott teams up with Grian and Scar to take out as many Dogwarts members as he can. This rampage nets him two kills and one count of arson before he loses his final life.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: For [[DownplayedTrope a limited definition of 'evil']], anyway. Scott initially wanted to make a peaceful home away from everyone else, only leaving to conduct trade. However, after seeing the others attempt to create monopolies on basic resources and pull underhanded tricks to get ahead of the curve, Scott decided to do the same, stealing cows from Tango's cow farm to start his own, taunting Grian and Scar with the fact that he has his own supply of dark oak wood, and taking all the Nether wart from the Nether so that when push comes to shove, he'd be the only one with the ability to make potions.
* TogetherInDeath: After Scott loses his final life, he's transported to the Flower Forest base, which looks exactly like he'd envisioned it in his head, but didn't have time to properly build on the server itself. There, he finally sees Jimmy again.
-->'''Jimmy:''' This... This is... The end.\\
'''Scott:''' It's home?\\
'''Jimmy:''' Home.
* TragicKeepsake: Played with; the Pufferish of Peace is one of the last keepsakes from Jimmy that Scott ''would'' have had... if Martyn hadn't stolen it just before the Battle of the Red Desert to use it as a weapon. While the Dogwarts forces discuss early in Day 8 that the pufferfish in their possession would be precious to Scott like their Red Banner shield is to them (and they'd be correct), and that Scott would be willing to commit atrocities just to get it back, they wind up killing Scott twice and taking him out of the DeadlyGame before he even learns they have the pufferfish.
* YouMonster: Calls Grian this in response to Grian and Scar's triple kill via TNT minecart on Day 4.

!!Last Life
->'''Faction:''' The Scottage/Three Gs/Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss, Survivors, Larger Red Alliance
Scott, fearing for his own two lives, made a deal with Pearl where he would keep her safe in exchange for one of her own lives. The two started a base in the middle of a taiga biome near spawn, affectionally dubbed the Scottage.\\
\\
Initially wanting to stay out of trouble, Scott kept running into it as all other factions made it a habit of passing through his base. He and Pearl managed to secure some of the most valuable resources on the server (brewing stands, a Wither skull, cows and sheep, sugar cane and sand), as well as a skeleton spawner, making their home a prime target for robbers.\\
\\
After letting Cleo join their alliance on Day 4, the Scottage and the secret underground base was destroyed, first by being bombed by Grian and Joel, then by having lava poured all over it on Day 7.\\
\\
Scott became the de-facto leader of the Survivors after Day 7, when every faction fell apart and the non-reds were forced to band together out of necessity. After becoming the Boogeyman on Day 8 and refusing to kill anyone, he turned Red and joined Grian and Joel, but their alliance was shaky at best, not helped by the fact that Grian and Joel were actively plotting to kill him. After Pearl turned Red and antagonized Grian and Joel, Scott joined the Larger Red alliance to kill them. Finally, he was the winner of the final death-match, making him the winner of Last Life.

----
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: A variation, as Scott doesn't even know that [[spoiler:the Watchers]] ''exist'' (at least in canon), but his defiance towards the Boogeyman curse, among many other things, has earned him [[spoiler:the Watchers']] [[BerserkButton ire]].
-->'''"????":''' He refuses to participate? He mocks us... THIS WILL NOT STAND!\\

'''Martyn:''' You mean Scott.\\
'''"????":''' His will to live was too strong. His flame burned too bright. Now look what's happened.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sick of people constantly breaking through the Scottage's wall to cut through their territory, he upgrades the wall to be hollow and filled with lava. The wall's proximity to the Scottage itself, however, causes it to catch fire several times.
* InSeriesNickname: Of the Three Gs, he's "Gatekeep" for building walls around the alliance's home-base.
* UndyingLoyalty: Scott's alliance with Pearl and later Cleo is one of the strongest on the server, and one of the few that survives its members turning Red (in fact, Scott targeted Cleo and Pearl specifically so he could reunite with them). This extends to the rest of the Survivors post-Day 7 as well, Scott was immediately open to them about being the Boogeyman on Day 8, and became the first person ever to turn Red due to his refusal to kill one of his allies.

|| 6 || Shot in the back by Joel with a firework-loaded crossbow || [[red:1]] ||
|| 6 || Suicide by TNT detonation || [[gray:0]] ||
----
* BigWhy: His reaction to the "Ranchers' Revenge" Warden being brought to the surface and, at the time, set loose in the Ranch.
* DissonantSerenity: On Day 5, Scott completely brushes off his main base's walls being set on fire. Justified as he's prepared for something like this to happen and has gotten his valuables out to another base beforehand in case his original base gets looted.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: On Day 4, after seeing Pearl steal some of Joel and Etho's items in the aftermath of the fishing rod game and the two show up as Red Lives to reclaim their stuff, Scott is [[GenreSavvy fully aware]] that he's going to die because Joel and Etho are going to kill Pearl for their stolen belongings, and resets his spawnpoint in Impulse and Bdubs' base so he doesn't have to lose ''his'' items, and essentially ''waits to die'' next to said spawnpoint after trying and failing to tell Pearl to just give the two's items back.
* {{Gaslighting}}: His main plans for the Relationship Ranch revolved around gaslighting soulbound pairs into distrusting each other and splitting up.
* ImprovisedWeapon: On Day 6, when Joel hunts him down in revenge for burning down the Relation-Ship the previous episode, Scott tries to hit him with a water bucket in a moment of panic. Deconstructed as it wouldn't do a whole lot of damage even if the hit landed, and Joel manages to bring him down to his final life anyway.
* ScrewDestiny: Due to their soulmates having gone adventuring to the Deep Dark and the Nether in the very first episode, Scott and Cleo decide to ''choose'' to become pseudo-soulmates purely because their own soulmates refuse to show up to player gatherings such that the two have to all but find out who their soulmates are by ''process of elimination''. Scott goes out of his way to actively call out Martyn and Pearl for "abandoning" them.
-->'''Scott:''' This is the definition of the "Welcome Home, Cheaters" [meme].
* SpitefulSuicide[=/=]TakingYouWithMe: {{Discussed|Trope}} on Day 4, when Scott makes plans to just off himself once he becomes a Red Life [[CantLiveWithoutYou in order to take Pearl, his unhinged soulbound, out of the equation]].
* TitleDrop: Personalized variant on Day 6, where Scott titles his episode "Tilly Death Do Us Part". Before parting ways with Pearl on their final life, she and Scott joke that it would be "Tilly they meet again", or rather, "Tilly death do [them] part"; he [[MeaningfulEcho tells Pearl this again]] [[FinaleTitleDrop at the end of the episode]] as he detonates himself (and her by proxy).
* WorkingWithTheEx: Cleo is soulmates with Martyn and Scott is soulmates with Pearl, but Cleo and Scott decide to break up with them and partner with each other instead. When the four are left as the only Yellow Names, Cleo and Scott team with their soulmates again because they need allies.
-->'''Scott:''' No, don't tell me I'm gonna need to team up with my crazy ex...\\

----
* ActionSurvivor: Scott shows himself to be ''very'' good at surviving -- as of Day 6, he is one of the few people to never die from preventable means like mobs and fall damage, and most of his deaths in the season were {{Mercy Kill Arrangement}}s to make himself ''less'' of a target when everyone else is actively trying to hunt him down for his life-time, and/or to give an ally some extra life-time. He averts this by officially joinining in on the fighting and hunting on Day 7, and proceeds to commit nine murders.
* ApologeticAttacker: Being assigned the first Boogeyman, he apologizes before murdering Skizz less than 15 minutes in. He does feel bad about it and gives another apology later in Day 1.
* BigYes: [[MercyKill His reaction to his second death]], mainly because he's spent the better part of the episode being hunted down by bloodthirsty Yellow Names and that death drops him to Yellow as well. It helps that Martyn's the one to deal the final blow, as the two are allied and had just made a contigency plan for this very scenario.
* {{Blackmail}}: On Day 5, while tracking down his stolen enchanter, Scott stumbles across the Nosy Neighbours hiding Judge Judy And Executioner the frog under their base, and blackmails the Nosy Neighbours the frog's location in exchange for his enchanter back. Pearl, firmly holding on to the IdiotBall, refuses and causes the Mean Gills to team up with Jimmy to track down the frog.
* TheDogBitesBack: After Joel leads the charge on hunting him down to Yellow and later even Red, Scott kills him five times on Day 7, with the last instance taking Joel out of the series altogether.
* EarFins: After losing his Green lives, Scott gradually undergoes a physical transformation to become more fish-like, eventually developing these as a Red life.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Acknowledging that he has a target on his back for having the longest life-time, Scott makes a deal with Cleo on Day 3 that [[MercyKillArrangement she can kill him for his life-time when push comes to shove]]. This is carried out a day later when a vast majority of the server have turned Yellow, many of whom being out for blood. Even his last word before the death is a cheery "Bye!".
* FishPeople: After turning Yellow, he develops gills and scales, though since it's a Minecraft skin, it's purely aesthetic and has no effect on his gameplay.
* LastOfHisKind:
** Downplayed; Scott ends up as the ''second''-last Green Name standing due to his early Boogeyman kill on Day 1, and is the last person on the server to die a first death (even then, at his own request). On Day 4, Joel expresses astonishment that he's survived for so long and quickly rallies most of the server to hunt him down.
** On Day 7, Scott winds up being one of the two last Yellow Names standing on the server alongside Impulse. They permanently lose their Yellow status in the same explosion just minutes later, though the kill feed in the in-game chat states that Scott ''barely'' outlives Impulse.
* MythologyGag: He makes a nod to "a salmon fiasco in [[WebVideo/EmpiresSMP a past life]]" and uses this knowledge to veto Martyn's faction name suggestion of "the Salmen".
* OutGambitted: The trope instigator. Early in Day 7, Scott notices Grian and Joel sneaking around in the Coral Isles. Suspecting that they're trying to trap his bed, he resets his spawn at Entertainment Mountain and allows Scar to kill him for life-time, knowing that the Bad Boys (save Jimmy) will come looking for him when they realize their spawn-camping trap doesn't work.
* PreMortemOneLiner: While hunting Joel down with Martyn and the Clockers:
-->'''Scott:''' These are the consequences of your actions, Joel!
* SurroundedByIdiots: He's made at least one joke about being the only person around with brain-cells, and has a practically trademarked tone of voice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pe0AWB7KGg specifically reserved]] for expressing exasperation and disappointment at everyone else's antics.
-->'''Scott:''' The whole branding that I'm like, the only one here with like, any brain-cells really stands.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His early Boogeyman kill in Day 1 leads to two more Boogeyman rerolls and thus two more deaths for the day; he apologizes to Big B for this a couple of minutes before the second reroll.
* YouCanAlwaysTellALiar: On Day 5, he catches Jimmy lying about not stealing his carrots and Martyn wanting to split up the Mean Gills through the inflection and tone of his voice alone.
-->'''Scott:''' I've played enough ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' to know when you're lying.

# On Day 1, Scott's assigned task is to build his base "directly and obnoxiously attached to someone else's". He succeeds in this task by the end of the session by temporarily attaching his base next to Gem's.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to start three conversations with three different players and leave halfway through without saying a word without being called out. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, during chats with Pearl and Cleo, Lizzie, and Jimmy.
# On Day 3, his assigned task, submitted by lieful, is to tell three people, "Love you," ''and'' have them say it back without being prompted to. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session with Gem, Cleo, and Skizz.
# On Day 4, his initial assigned task is unknown. He chooses to reroll to, as submitted by [=musicalsciectist7148=], figure out another person's task and complete it, and informing the person in question once he thinks he's done to confirm success. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, helping Lizzie to connect all the bases to her own.
# On Day 5, his assigned task, submitted by [=obscureSwan=], is to be in a game of tag with Impulse, Tango, and Bdubs, with whoever still being "it" at the session break and the end of the session failing; Yellow Names have to guess all four people involved for them to fail that way. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.

* BornUnlucky: On Day 1, he gets murdered by ''two'' Boogeymen within the first 20 minutes (and in the span of about ''five'').

'''Preferred name:''' Joel\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Joel is a relatively neutral member of the server, who isn't too interested in faction politics and mostly just wants to be left alone. However, when he turns Red, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with, as he's good at stealth and knowing when to strike. He's the strongest combatant of all the members by far, but has a tendency to be petty and vengeful, causing him to have few strong alliances and often resulting in a death from being outnumbered by enemies in battle. In real life, he's married to Lizzie.
----
* AnimalMotifs: While this is more rooted in fan interpretation than canon, Joel is often associated with [[SavageWolves wolves]]. Throughout the first two seasons, he's characterized as a 'lone wolf' type of player without alignment to any faction in particular, and even leads a pack of wolves into battle in the 3rd Life finale. However, in Limited Life when he's finally ''part of'' a faction, he's deeply devoted and loyal to the point of being willing to sacrifice himself for them. He also has the highest kill counts in Last Life[[note]]14 while everyone else has 5 at maximum[[/note]] and Double Life[[note]]4 soulmate pairs to everyone else's 0-2[[/note]], and has one of the highest overall.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Starting from Last Life, Joel has gained a bloodthirsty streak and has a tendency to kill his fellow server-members' pets with little to no provocation, especially as a Red Life. This has led to much conflict on the server.
* OneTrueLove: With Lizzie; even if he tried to kill her on at least two occasions in Last Life, Joel can always recognize his real-life wife in-game, even if she is possessing another body at the time.
* WildCard: Joel doesn't often align himself with any particular faction (excluding Limited Life), and especially when he goes Red, is highly unpredictable and oftentimes hellbent on causing chaos on the server.

->'''Faction:''' Magical Mountain
Joel joined Scar in his ventures of starting a Souls business, and set up his base in a cave at the base of the Magical Mountain. However, after Joel turned Red on Day 2 after ''many'' failed kills as the Boogeyman, this alliance quickly fell apart, though Scar did allow Joel to keep living in his cave house.\\
\\
Joel remained Red for the majority of the series, battling both the other people on the server, and his own loneliness. After most major alliances had fallen apart, he teamed up with Grian to hunt down the remaining Greens and Yellows, but wound up going a bit too far by killing Pearl's axolotls in front of her. This caused a fracture within the Red alliance, and after there were no more Greens or Yellows left, Joel and Grian were hunted down and killed by the rest of the remaining Reds.

* AllForNothing:
** The penalty for failing to kill someone as the Boogeyman is being reduced to your last life the next day. Although Joel manages to kill Scott, the other mishaps he had during the rest of the day and Pearl killing him in revenge take him down to his last life anyway.
** He becomes the Boogeyman a second time on Day 6 as a Yellow Life, but ends up getting caught in the blast from his own trap. {{Downplayed|Trope}} as he goes back to kill Lizzie anyway.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** Joel built a fall trap in his cave to lure unsuspecting players into if they came looking for the enchantment table. His first potential victim, Lizzie, doesn't fall for the trap and makes a run for it when she figures out he's the Boogeyman. Joel panics and tries to chase her down... only to tumble down the hole himself.
** During his second round as the Boogeyman on Day 6, he blows himself up with a trap meant for Lizzie.
* KickTheDog: After being forced to flee their bases, Scott, Pearl and Cleo resorted to carrying their pet axolotls on their persons. When they were hunted down and killed by the Reds, Joel took great glee in going through their inventories, [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals dumping the axolotls out onto the ground, and killing them]], sometimes in front of their owners. This is in large part the reason the main Red alliance fractured on Day 9, and resulted in Joel and Grian being hunted down and killed by the Larger Red Alliance.
* KillSteal: On Day 7, Martyn becomes the Boogeyman after Pearl, the original Boogeyman, left the day early due to a power outage. Martyn attempts to kill his only ally Grian, but unbeknownst to either of them, Joel is watching from the shadows and is able to shoot Grian once before he kills himself with Ender pearl damage. This causes the game to credit Joel with the kill, leaving Martyn friendless and still needing to kill someone.
* LethallyStupid: When Joel goes to the Scottage to kill one of the people there, he has the enchantment table with him for some reason. His death at Pearl's hands causes her and Scott to obtain the table, ruining any chance of Scar continuing his scam without Joel. Lizzie even lampshades this when Pearl and Scott tell her how they acquired the table.
* MadBomber: After going down to his last life, he sets multiple explosive traps per day, all over the map, though they have only rarely succeeded.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness[=/=]YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: On Day 2, while luring Lizzie into his trap, Joel calls her by [[FirstNameBasis her full given name]], Elizabeth. This is seen by many from Lizzie's perspective as the first indication that something was up with Joel.
* TilMurderDoUsPart: Both times he was the Boogeyman, he targeted his wife Lizzie first, although he only killed her once and [[EpicFail killed himself in the process both times]].
* WorthyOpponent: After being killed in Joel's trap on Day 4 and brought down to Red, Cleo commends that Joel's a genius for setting up the trap at all.

* ApologeticAttacker: After the Bad Boys Bread Bridge Bombing, Joel apologizes to Scar for having him caught in the crossfire in revenge against Cleo, citing IDidWhatIHadToDo and giving him his other TNT minecart as an ApologyGift.
* BloodKnight: At the very start of the season, Joel is pretty much the only guy on the server who ''wants'' to be the Boogeyman so he can murder someone, and is disappointed when he doesn't get the role on Day 1. In conjunction with this, he has zero qualms murdering cows and villagers left and right for the hell of it.
** Come Day 2, and he's ''ecstatic'' to be cursed with the bloodlust geas, and he commits murder as a Green Life on Day 3 out of pure vengefulness.
** On Day 4, he's the one to rally the entire server to hunt down Scott for his life-time.
* DehumanizingInsult: On Day 5, Joel calls the T.I.E.S. "animals" for blowing up the Bread Bridge.
* EpicFail: While Pearl is trying to stop the invasion of the Bread Bridge on Nosy Neighbors territory, Joel threatens to speed-bridge his way across the inter-faction border. He falls in two blocks and almost dies.
* MadBomber: A vast majority of Joel's kills involve him dropping a TNT minecart on his victims.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He goes on one when fellow Bad Boy Jimmy [[KilledOffForReal died his final death]]. It ends with him dying permanently too by the end of Day 7.
* SanitySlippage: While Joel has always had a chaotic streak a mile wide, according to Grian, his mental state ''really'' starts going downhill after Jimmy's final death.
* SelfSacrificeScheme: The reason Joel is so reckless with his life-time throughout the series is because he intended to sacrifice himself so that Jimmy won't be the first to die again. It fails, and Joel [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge doesn't take it well]].
* TooDumbToLive: On Day 2, he runs directly at a Vindicator to kill it close-range. He dies in two hits and kindly reminds the entire map that the Woodland Mansion has been reset, with Totems of Undying ready for the taking.

# On Day 1, Joel's assigned task is to plug the Life series merch at the worst possible times to other players at least 4 times. He succeeds in this task seamlessly by the end of the session.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to start a {{cult}}. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, tricking Mumbo into "the Round Mound cult", and later Martyn.
# On Day 3, his initial assigned task is to listen in to a conversation, reiterate the same conversation with one of those person, and have them claim déjà vu; but he decides to reroll to pulling off a 100-block water bucket clutch in front of the whole server. He fails at this task by the end of the session, and loses a life as a result of attempting it.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to fit four different lines from "All Star" by Music/SmashMouth into four of his conversations without anyone calling him out on it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 5, his assigned task is to "backseat game" Pearl for 10 minutes, moving on to another player if she calls him out and failing if he has to move on more than thrice. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, with Pearl humouring him all the way through.
# On Day 6, his assigned task is to deal a minimum of 10 hearts of damage to Scott, directly or by proxy and by any means desired, without getting called out for being the assassin.

* NowBuyTheMerchandise: His assigned task on Day 1 is to do this four times in the session, at the worst timing possible.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: On Day 2, Joel gets bored and nopes out halfway through Bdubs telling a long-winded story; it ''is'' {{invoked|Trope}}, as Bdubs required such a reaction to complete his assigned secret task for the session.
* ShoutOut: His Day 4 task requires him to quote the lyrics of "All Star" by Music/SmashMouth; Scott comments on how appropros the task is, given Joel's Minecraft skin used to be Franchise/{{Shrek}} and his current skin is still a humanized version of the character.
* SkewedPriorities: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Since Joel's Day 1 task is to plug the Life series merch "at the worst possible times", he usually chooses to interpret this as advertising ''while fighting mobs''.

Jimmy, wanting to avoid faction drama as much as possible, teamed with Scott early on and founded the Flower Forest faction. There, they got married and tried to settle down peacefully.

* BigNo: His reaction after he loses his third and final life.
* ButtMonkey: His first two deaths are within ''minutes'' of each other, and are caused by situations he placed himself into.
* DefiantStoneThrow: On Day 5, when Ren comes in demanding tribute from the Flower Forest faction, Jimmy is on board with hearing him out... until Ren not-so-subtly implies that said tribute would include [[HumanSacrifice one of Scott's lives]]. Jimmy responds by shutting down negotiations, burning Ren's banner, and telling him and Martyn in no uncertain terms to get lost.
* EpicFail: Grian sets up a lava moat around the desert bunker to kill his enemies, but places Jimmy in charge of it while he and Scott act as bait. Jimmy doesn't activate it until ''Grian himself'' is caught in it, leading to Grian getting stuck in the moat and being swiftly killed by Martyn.
* KilledOffForReal: He has the dubious distinction of being the first person to lose his final life, having done so on Day 7.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Implied to be both this and a MoralityChain for Scott, since the two have been there for each other since the start of the season; after Jimmy gets killed, Scott goes off the rails and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge swears to be "out for blood" against Dogwarts]], even after Jimmy has theoretically been avenged with Skizz's death, and his only two kills in the season were committed after becoming a widower.
* TogetherInDeath: After Scott's final death, Jimmy meets him in the Afterlife (the Flower Forest base, revamped to look like what Scott wanted it to look like if he had enough time to finish it), and properly welcomes him home.
* TooDumbToLive:
** After he and his allies uncover a TNT minecart trap left by Grian, Scott ''very wisely'' tells everyone to get out of the way so that they can safely detonate the minecart from a distance using an arrow. Jimmy, however, believes the bomb is disarmed and goes closer in order to grab a piece of TNT[[note]]still a rare item on the server[[/note]] -- and in the process he nudges the ''very much armed'' TNT minecart, with the resulting explosion killing himself as well as Ren and Skizz.
** Grian discusses it after Jimmy heavily contributes to Grian's first death ''despite them being allies''. When he learns Jimmy also died in the Battle of the Red Desert, Grian offers NoSympathy whatsoever, claiming he kind of had it coming for somehow not activating the lava moat trap until ''Grian'' was the one caught in it.
* YouMonster: During the battle at Joel's house on Day 6, Jimmy calls Martyn a monster for killing Joel's SavageWolves.

->'''Faction:''' The Southlands
Jimmy joined the Southlands on Day 1 and was primarily known for being their spyglass supplier, until Day 5 when he was exiled for running off with one of Martyn's lives during their daily trust game. He ended up being tentatively reintegrated into the Southlands following Grian's return, but was soon kicked again after he turned Red.\\
\\
He wound up teaming with Mumbo, and attempted to trap Grian and Martyn. The trap failed miserably, and when Jimmy ticked Grian off a bit too much by punching him, both of them were hunted down and killed.\\

----
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Following Grian's return to the Southlands, he and the other Southlanders reevaluate Jimmy's earlier betrayal. Jimmy attempts to salvage his integrity by telling them how he trusted Martyn when he proposed that they leave the Southlands together. This fails utterly as Martyn's offer was a complete scam to get back the life Jimmy stole, meaning Jimmy's claim amounts to saying he betrayed the Southlands once and he'd immediately do it again. Somehow, Jimmy is acquitted of his crime.
* DirtyCoward: After Grian turns Red and the Southlands starts to become a bigger target, Jimmy runs off with Martyn's life during their trust exercise, fully intending on abandoning the Southlands and hiding. Martyn tricks him into giving the life back, however, and when he returns to try to get it back, the other Southlanders tell him to get lost.
* TheExile: After stealing Martyn's life at the start of Day 5, Jimmy was officially banned from the Southlands. He is allowed back in after Grian returns later on Day 5 and forces everyone else to vote on whether or not to keep him.
* RunningGag: Jimmy keeps making spyglasses for Mumbo, and Mumbo keeps losing them. Over and over again.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Upon his return to the Southlands after his brief exile, Jimmy manages to step into ''every single trap'' the other Southlanders had set there while he was away, though he survives them.
** When he went Red, he somehow assumes that the "all previous alliances are void" rule ''doesn't'' apply to him, and keeps trying to get his stuff from the Southlands even after his former allies make it clear he isn't welcome back. Grian sics his wolf army on Jimmy for his troubles.
** On Day 7, Jimmy attacks a fully-geared Grian while he himself is unarmed. Grian predictably starts attacking back, causing Jimmy to fall to his death in the process of running away.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: His last words just after Grian knocks him off the roof are "No, ow, I'm actually dying, I'm dead-".

* AllForNothing: On Day 1, Jimmy guts a bamboo patch and a small mangrove swamp so he can have monopolies on both, but when he brags to Joel about it Joel reveals that he got to the bamboo first and had already traded some to Scott, ruining one monopoly. And unbeknownst to Jimmy, he missed a single mangrove propagule hidden away in the water which was later collected by Pearl, eliminating his second monopoly.
* LiteralMetaphor: Etho's Day 7 Boogeyman kill on Jimmy should have permanently killed him, but for unknown reasons, the Boogeyman penalty hour isn't deducted for him, causing him to rely on time gained from {{Mercy Kill Arrangement}}s to survive just a little longer. You can say he's literally living on borrowed time.
* TemptingFate: After settling with Joel and Grian on the roof of the Woodland Mansion on Day 1, Jimmy claims that no one would have the guts to burn down such a flammable structure because the fire would spread to the dark oak forest around it, and "everything burns and crashes". The Life series being the Life series, the Mansion's on fire by the end of the day.
* TokenGoodTeammate: {{Downplayed|Trope}} due to the GreyAndGrayMorality. Among the Bad Boys, while he has assisted in other kills, Jimmy has the lowest intentional kill tally (1, not counting the two {{Mercy Kill Arrangement}}s he has) in contrast to his teammates' ''double-digits'', and is the only person in the group ''not'' known for going bloodthirsty and/or completely off the rails. He's far more likely to negotiate with others as opposed to going on murderous rampages or deadly pranking sessions, and even when he tries to commit murder, he's more likely than not to fail miserably (see his final death, for one).
* YouFool: He screams this in the in-game chat on Day 6 after Grian [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo triggers Pearl's trap]] in the Nosy Neighbours' tower, killing both him and Lizzie-as-Pearl.

# On Day 1, Jimmy's assigned task is to break five crafting tables while they are being used. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 2, his assigned task is to have someone tell him to "[[GetOut get out of here!]]" He fails at this task by the end of the session because most of the server treated his behaviour as an UnusuallyUninterestingSight.
# On Day 3, his assigned task is to rebind his movement keys out-of-universe for 30 minutes of the session while interacting with others, and to restart his timer if anyone points out his strange movements. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, though not without dying from some unfortunate encounters with the undead.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to convince two players to play a minigame, where one of them must take damage. While he claims to have succeeded in this task by the end of the session, having seemingly burnt Big B with a lava bucket while trying to have him dodge it, in reality, it burnt his ''skeleton horse mount'' and not Big B himself.
# On Day 5, his assigned tasks begin to vary as a Red Life:
** His first task is to hit a Green Name with a sword until they either block with a shield or die. He succeeds in this task by targeting Skizz, with Big B helping him as part of his own task, in an attempt to sow discord in the Heart Foundation.
** His second task is to find a Green Name with at least 20 hearts of health and take approximately 10 hearts off of them in any way. He succeeds in this task by lighting a piece of TNT on Tango and whacking him with a sword for good measure.

* AccidentalMurder: After finding an invisible rider on a Skeleton Horse on Day 5, Jimmy decides to check who that person's identity is by whacking them with a sword. Lizzie, being on low health and not wearing any armour at the time, is immediately sent to join him and Martyn in the Red Name club because of this.
* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: On Day 6, Cleo and Scott pre-emptively hold a funeral for Jimmy because he's never made it to his own funeral before, and so he can have a eulogy to himself. He is quite offended by this because he's not even dead at the time.
-->'''Jimmy:''' No, that's not- You're not supposed to attend funerals if you're still alive, the person you're doing it for.
* EpicFail: How Jimmy's Day 2 task turns out -- while attempting to get himself kicked out of someone else's house, he accidentally starts ''a server-wide sleepover'' in said house.
* HopeSpot: On Day 6, Jimmy is overjoyed when he finally breaks his streak of always being out first when Lizzie dies… only to die in second place soon afterwards.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: {{Invoked|Trope}} on Day 2, where Jimmy tries to bunk up in Pearl, Mumbo, and Gem and the Scotts' houses so he'd be told to "GetOut" and complete his secret task. He fails the task because his first two targets were too polite to say anything, with Mumbo even being ''okay'' with the whole ordeal; and Jimmy himself is running on ExactWords for the enitre challenge and refuses to accept similar alternatives for telling him to "GetOut".

Tango is an opportunistic solo player, and a talented redstoner. He's unique in that he often comes up with minigames to play on the server, which many enthusiastically participate in in the early days of each season.
----
* BerserkButton: When he's wronged, he enters a blind state of pure rage, indicated by ragged breathing, threats, and {{Angrish}}. He first enters this state in Last Life, when Bdubs, his teammate, was the Boogeyman and chose to kill him immediately after he had given Bdubs a life. Next is in Double Life when his and Jimmy's ranch was burned to the ground by Scar. Both times, his allies try to calm him to no avail.
* QuestGiver: In both Third Life and Last Life, Tango created an avoidable but rewarding minigame. The first minigame was "Dare to Flare", where the challenge was avoiding falling lava traps with Feather Falling as the reward and losing a life if the player would fail; and the second game was "You Bet Your Life" where the challenge was making a guess on who would turn Red first with the participants having to bet their lives, the losers permanently lost their lives and the winner was given an advantage in the bigger game.

Tango was an initial member of the Village, with Etho and Impulse. Once that alliance started to fracture, Tango went off on his own, creating the first and only minigame on the server, and trying to stay out of trouble.

# On Day 2, his assigned task, submitted by Gareth, is to make a bet with another player and win. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session, by betting on who would be the first to pick up a golden apple in a private chat.
# On Day 3, his assigned task, submitted by chaoticgoodwings, is to have an ImaginaryFriend and talk to them as if they were following him around the entire session and part of everyone conversation he has, with the requirement for social interaction. While he technically succeeds in this task, Martyn manages to suss out the nature of his task, resulting in instant failure.
# On Day 4, his assigned task is to be actively involved in three different conversations with Mumbo and mimic his every move; he would instantly fail if anyone calls him out on it. He succeeds in this task by the end of the session.
# On Day 5, his assigned task, submitted by [=obscureSwan=], is to be in a game of tag with Impulse, Scott, and Bdubs, with whoever still being "it" at the session break and the end of the session failing; Yellow Names have to guess all four people involved for them to fail that way. He fails at this task by the end of the session, being "it" when the session break is called.

* DidYouActuallyBelieve: For his Day 1 task, Tango prentends to be curious about [[Characters/StarWarsAhsokaTano Ahsoka's]] backstory to get Scar to deep dive into ''Star Wars'' lore. When he reveals his task to the public after collecting his reward from the Secret Keeper, he mockingly tells Scar that he couldn't care less.
* ImaginaryFriend: [[InvokedTrope Adopts]] one named 'Torchy' for the purpose of fulfilling his Day 3 secret task, knowing full well that he's quickly going to get caught. He does.
* PutOnABus: Played with. Since Tango can't make it to the recording session, Ren subs in for him on Day 6. However, since they're playing on the same account, Ren has to very unconvincingly play Tango for the session.%%Someone pls edit for why he couldn't make it

->'''IGN:''' [=ZombieCleo=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Cleo\\
'''First Joined:''' 3rd Life\\
'''Active Seasons:''' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Cleo is a ruthless fighter who thrives on chaos, and seeks to cause as much of it as possible. Though she is hellbent on creating chaos and destruction, she's also fiercely loyal to those she chooses to align herself with — and will rain absolute hellfire down upon them if she's betrayed.
----
* BloodKnight: Cleo ''loves'' fighting. Her turning Red results in a MassOhCrap almost every time, because she becomes positively unhinged and does ''not'' hold back.
* FieryRedhead: She's a redhead who's quite enthusiastic to be in a fight when it comes down to it. She also gets [[EnragedByIdiocy quite easily frustrated]] by [[SurroundedByIdiots her oftentimes less-than-mature teammates]]. The 'fiery' part takes a more literal turn as she [[{{Pyromaniac}} commits arson multiple times throughout the series]].
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Arguably the biggest one in the series.
** In 3rd Life, she burns down some trees and comments on how pretty the fire is, and expresses a desire to set fire to Joel's house a few times before actually doing so.
** During Last Life, she earns the title of "Gaslight" out of the Three G's by committing arson. Later on during a raid on Red Bridge, she asks if they can burn it, and when Scott starts to set it on fire, she responds that she was hoping to do that and places a lava bucket shortly afterwards.
** During Limited Life, she sets fire to the Woodland Mansion on Day 1 and laughs while watching it burn. When the mansion is reset on Day 2, she rushes to set fire to it again immediately after being Boogey-killed by Joel. Later, she cheers upon finding out that the dark oak forest is on fire, and when discussing the wooden frogs on the Nosy Neighbours' tower, she states that them simply being made of wood gives her an "itch" to burn them.
* RidiculouslyAliveUndead: While she ''is'' '''Zombie'''Cleo, she's functionally still a player and doesn't burn in the daylight, and needs food to survive like everyone else.

!!3rd Life
->'''Factions:''' The Crastle
Cleo started out wanting to ally with Bdubs, and joined him in building the Crastle. However, she found that stoking conflict between other factions was much more fun.\\
\\
She was eventually forced to pick a side when tensions between factions started mounting, choosing to fight on the Red Desert's side after Dogwarts had threatened the Crastle. This wound up costing her her life, but saved Bdubs's.

----
* InaneBlabbering: She does some when Skizzleman scares her on Day 3.
* KarmicDeath: On Day 5, Cleo sets fire to Joel's house, resulting in the roof being in disrepair. On Day 6, Cleo is walking atop the ruins of the house when she falls because the rest of the roof was burned away, killing her.
* LeeroyJenkins: When she, Bdubs and Tango encounter the Red Army on the way to the Crastle, she charges and attacks Ren without a word but is slain.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Cleo was the only woman on the SMP during 3rd Life.
* TemptingFate: During the preparation phase for the Battle of the Red Desert, Cleo mentions to Scott that they would likely both outlive their "husbands" (Bdubs and Jimmy respectively), and that, when they die, they should form a pact of widows to rain hell upon the server. That was the last time they talk before Cleo dies in a charge attack on Ren later that day, with Bdubs outliving her.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While Bdubs mostly just wants to barricade himself in the Crastle, Cleo actively goes out to cause chaos.
* WorthIt: After her charge attack on Ren, Cleo deems being KilledOffForReal worth the risk as a ghost.

!!Last Life
->'''Factions:''' The Castle Alliance (formerly), The Scottage/Three Gs/Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss, Survivors, Larger Red Alliance
Cleo was part of the Castle Alliance with Lizzie, Big B and Ren. However, on Day 4, Big B hadn't secured a Boogeyman kill near the end of the day, and killed Cleo out of desperation. Cleo saw this as a massive betrayal, and fled to the Scottage, only to die in one of Joel's traps meant for Scott and Pearl, thereby turning Red.\\
\\
As a Red Life, she decided that revenge was in order and burned the Fairy Fort down to the ground, forcing Lizzie and Big B to move to the Shadow Tower, forming the Shadow Alliance.\\
\\
After being turned back to Yellow, Cleo approached the Scottage again, asking for a place to stay. She was taken in by Scott and Pearl, who gave her an extra life and a safe place, but it wouldn't be long before the Reds would destroy the Scottage, forcing the three of them to flee. Cleo remained loyal to Scott and Pearl, and sided with the Larger Red Alliance after the Reds fractured. She helped them all hunt down Grian and Joel, but was killed by Joel in the ensuing chase.

* BigYes: When Lizzie kills Big B on Day 7, and again when she claims Big B's last life on Day 8.
* EtTuBrute: When Big B turned against her as the Boogeyman on Day 4. As the two had been allied since Day 1, Cleo felt betrayed and thus wanted revenge.
* InSeriesNickname: Of the Three Gs, she's "Gaslight" for burning down the Fairy Fort.
* MotiveRant: Cleo does this while burning down the Fairy Fort on Day 5.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Most of Day 5 is spent by Cleo as a Red Name threatening the entire server, but with a particular focus on ensuring that Big B[=/=]"Terry" is perpetually in terror any time Cleo is anywhere near him. Part of this reign of terror has the Fairy Fort reduced to smoking ashes, and she actively warns the former Fairy Fort alliance [[DisproportionateRetribution that as long as they stand with Big B, they're all potential targets]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: On Day 5, Cleo burns the Fairy Fort to the ground, invoking this trope as she does so.

%%Cleo started the series unable to find her soulmate, and paired up with Scott in the meantime. However, as their soulmates continued to not show themselves, they decided to pair up with each other instead, leaving Pearl and Martyn in the dust.
----
* AbsurdPhobia: Cleo has once claimed to have a phobia of pandas.
* EscortDistraction: Cleo gets Tango and Jimmy to leave their base on Day 2 by telling them that Scar's made something cool. They buy it and run off, allowing Scott to enter the base through a secret tunnel and steal away all of their goats.
* ScrewDestiny: Due to their soulmates having gone adventuring to the Deep Dark and the Nether in the very first episode, Scott and Cleo decide to ''choose'' to become pseudo-soulmates purely because their own soulmates refuse to show up to player gatherings such that the two have to all but find out who their soulmates are by ''process of elimination''.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Cleo is soulmates with Martyn and Scott is soulmates with Pearl, but Cleo and Scott decide to break up with them and partner with each other instead. When the four are left as the only Yellow Names, Cleo and Scott team with their soulmates again because they need allies. Cleo and Martyn work together upon turning Red.

----
* BlatantLies: On the burning of the Bad Boys Manor, AKA the Woodland Mansion, on Day 1:
-->'''Grian:''' Who's responsible for this?\\
'''Cleo:''' No idea.
* ContinuityNod: Near the end of Day 1, Cleo warns Pearl that her teammate, Big B, will not be a safe person to be around if he becomes the Boogeyman, which is [[EtTuBrute something she knows from experience]]. Fortunately for Big B, Cleo is much more civil to him in this season.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On Day 8, after Scar returns from ambushing and killing Tango, Cleo compares their life-times and surmises that they'll die together. While it's not by natural causes, the two do indeed end up permanently-dying about 20 seconds apart from each other.
* KillSteal: {{Defied|Trope}} in the finale; after Pearl's minigame, Cleo's editor's note states that she could have stolen Impulse's kill on the two original Nosy Neighbours with his End crystal, but the only reason she didn't was because her crossbow was loaded with a firework instead of an arrow.
* MamaBear: In the finale, Cleo immediately tries to kill Grian for permanently killing Scar. Deconstructed as the other Nosy Neighbours come to his aid immediately, and Pearl takes Cleo herself out of the game altogether 20 seconds later.
* NotMeThisTime: She says this verbatim on Day 3 when the Mean Gills ask her if she set fire to the forest, since she set fire to the Bad Boys Manor the last two days.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: She outlives both Bdubs and Scar, albeit for the latter, it's only by 20 seconds.
* ParentalFavoritism: Gem-as-Cleo repeatedly refers to Scar as her "favourite son", often in front of Bdubs. Regular-Cleo seems to favour Scar over Bdubs as well due to Bdubs' apparently fluctuating loyalty between the Clockers and the T.I.E.S, but [[TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait is much more subtle about it]].
* PutOnABus: Played with. Due to her computer dying just hours before the recording session, [=GeminiTay=] subs in for Cleo on Day 6. However, since they're playing on the same account, Gem has to ''very unconvincingly'' play Cleo for the session, and her voice and different behaviour is written off as her having an "[[EasyAmnesia amnesia-cold]]".
* TeamMom: {{Parodied|Trope}} at first. She has involuntarily been assigned this role for Entertainment Mountain, who have even taken to calling her "Mom" for handling out supplies like armour to them out of concern for their safety. As the series progresses, she accepts her role and plays this trope straight.
* TemptingFate:
** After the first Boogeyman kill of Day 1, Cleo says that she didn't think there would be another Boogeyman as more than one seemed like a lot. Minutes later, the Boogeyman curse is rerolled onto her teammate.
** Near the end of Day 1, Cleo brushes off her first death because the Bad Boys can't attack her in revenge for burning down their base "so long as they're Green". The very next day, the Bad Boys take advantage of Joel's Boogeyman status to get their revenge ''[[LoopholeAbuse while still on Green]]'', and the only reason Cleo loses one hour instead of two is because the game registered Scar's death just before hers.
* ThisMeansWarpaint: After being killed by Joel, Cleo paints her own blood under her eyes to signify her increasing hostility and plans for retaliation.

%%character arc description

# On Day 1, Cleo's assigned task is to build her base directly above another player's above ground. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session by obstructing Lizzie's base-building.
# On Day 2, their assigned task is to use a pig as their main mode of transportation for half of the session. They succeed in this task by the end of the session, at great cost to their health.
# On Day 3, her assigned task, submitted by [=KoolaEar=], is to film a nature documentary about two other players for at least five minutes, and stop and start over with another person if anyone notices or interrupts her. She succeeds in this task by the end of the session after several attempts.
# On Day 4, their assigned task, submitted by [=Goomer82=], is to leave her secret task book in another person's base and get someone to read it to deliberately expose the task. They succeed in this task mere minutes into the session, convincing Bdubs, Tango, Skizz, Mumbo, ''and'' Grian to read her book on a lectern.
# On Day 5, her assigned task, submitted by skypig, is to compete against another player on the server in a race to obtain five front doors from other server-members; this is accompanied with a warning to beware of Yellow Names. She succeeds in this task by the end of the episode, asking for doors from Tango and Skizz, Bdubs, Pearl, Mumbo, and Scar (the latter with a bribe).
# On Day 6, their assigned task, in part submitted by [=jamcdonald120=], is to stand in a circle of different kinds of flowers and spin, but they must guess this task from playing a "hot or cold" game with the non-Red population of the server, who all know what their task is; they are not allowed to ask what their task is exactly. They succeed in this task by the end of the episode.

%%|| Day || Cause || Lives remaining ||
----
* ExactWords: While asking to obtain front doors from Gem and the Scotts on Day 5, Gem's first instinct is to ask, as a Yellow Name, if her task is to steal five people's front doors. Cleo replies that she is incorrect, citing that they don't have to ''steal'' the doors. It's later clarified after the race that Gem was their competitor and didn't want to repeat her own task back to Cleo, and only did it to try and stop them from winning, not to guess their task.
* GottaKillThemAll: On Day 2, Cleo starts to plot murder against everyone that has wronged her in the session for impeding in her completing her assigned task -- Grian for stealing her second pig and forcing her to get a third one, Mumbo for leading a baby zombie to her and almost killing her, and formerly Big B for mocking her when she's on low health and refusing to give her a heart (he's taken off the list when he ''does''),
* TheGroundIsLava: She explains her Day 2 antics as "the floor is lava" as code for the nature of her assigned task; {{downplayed|Trope}} in that she ''can'' touch the ground for short periods of time if necessary.
* OhCrap: Cleo's reaction to reading her Day 2 task is to scream "[[red:PANIC!]]" in the subtitles, knowing most, if not all pigs had been killed on Day 1 for food as they had no other resource use. She proceeds to drive herself into a frenzy for the next eleven minutes of her episode trying to obtain a pig, a saddle, ''and'' a carrot on a stick to complete her task.
* WildlifeCommentarySpoof: {{Invoked|Trope}} on Day 3 as her assigned secret task.
** First, Cleo tries to kill two birds with one stone by narrating Skizz and Tango's actions at the same time. However, she gets caught by Lizzie, forcing her to find a new pair of targets.
--->'''Cleo:''' Here we see two idiots in the natural environment, arguing over who they're going to give their hearts to, because that's [a] completely normal thing for them to argue about. They have no idea that I am in the midst of... uh, creeping on their base and them. They've pretty much forgotten I'm here, which is good, 'cause that's exactly what I want.
** Later, she tries to narrate Scott and Gem, only for them to disappear from view, her to get distracted widening a makeshift bridge, and Lizzie to interrupt that too.
** Finally, she succeeds in narrating Bdubs, Mumbo, and Scar chatting from a distance using a spyglass.

!!Others
[[folder:The Watcher -- '''UNMARKED SPOILERS!''']]
!!The Watcher
The mysterious voice in Martyn's head. The Watcher is the one who assigns and controls the Boogeyman, and is implied to be responsible for the Reds going AxCrazy, if not the world of the Life SMP existing at all. They introduced these concepts purely for their own amusement, and get ''very'' angry when their rules are ignored or circumvented.
----
%% The Watcher is never referred to with any pronouns, so please stick to they/them for now.
* BerserkButton: They ''hate'' it when someone tries to ruin their fun or refuses to play by their rules. When Scott tells Martyn on Day 8 that he's the Boogeyman, and that he's going to wait out the session to see if he turns Red as opposed to betraying one of his allies (and ultimately defies the Boogey Curse entirely, dropping him to Red), the Watcher is ''enraged''.
-->'''The Watcher:''' He refuses to participate? He mocks us... THIS WILL NOT STAND!
* CanonImmigrant: The concept of the Watchers is taken from the Evolution SMP (more commonly known as Evo), an SMP that ran from October 2017 to November 2018. It was run by Grian, and included many people who are now members of the Life series, including Martyn.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "Our will be done."
* CosmicPlaything: According to [[invoked]]WordOfGod, the Watchers in general have varying opinions on different players, but a few stand out:
** They hold a grudge against most of the former Evolutionists who had tried to flee from their grasp at the end of ''Evo SMP''. Pearl is noted to be among this group.
** Other than the Season 2 Day 8 Boogeyman fiasco, they generally hate Scott on principle as he's relatively pacifistic, is [[TheFettered a lawful-type character]], doesn't lose trust in others easily, and is content to let others take the victory over him.
** {{Inverted|Trope}} with Martyn, Skizz, and Joel, whom the Watchers are rather fond of -- the former for being more willing to do their bidding than others, and the latter two for the chaos they bring as Red Names.
* EmotionEater: [[invoked]] By WordOfGod, Watchers feed on strong, complex emotions between each season, positive or negative, but prefer negative emotions as they're "better" to feed off of (read: taste better). Once Grian realizes this, he has [[ResignInProtest estranged himself from the Watchers]] as they're purposely trying to make his friends suffer more, which the Watchers aren't too happy about.
* ExactWords:
-->'''Martyn:''' Hold on- no- wait a minute! You said you and your allies will see the end! You said I could bring them all! Impulse, Jimmy, Mumbo, me! You said we'd all join you in the end!\\
'''The Watcher:''' You misunderstand.\\
'''Martyn:''' Ah- nonononono! You told me that if I did everything you said, that there would be a place for us! There was no stronghold, there was no portal, so you couldn't have meant THAT End...\\
'''The Watcher:''' And so...?\\
'''Martyn:''' Unless...\\
'''The Watcher:''' He's learning.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Martyn:''' ''(sigh)'' You just meant the end of days, didn't you? THE end.
* GodIsEvil: The closest known equivalent of deities to the Life series, who actively feed off of the players' suffering.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the Life series; they only appear in Martyn's perspective and tend to operate on a scale independent of the conflicts between players, never intervening physically and at most only via game mechanisms like the Boogeyman curse.
* InSeriesNickname: They are referred to as "the Shadow" prior to TheReveal of their true identity.
* ItAmusedMe: Their motivation for creating the Boogeyman, and potentially the entire concept of the Life series. They like to watch people turn on one another, and hate it when someone ruins their fun.
-->'''Martyn:''' Yeah, cheers, buddy! Thanks for living! One last stand, knowing that full well we'd have to run out of food OR patience eventually! And then what?! We just ''kill'' one another?! Is that it?!\\
'''The Watcher:''' Amusing, is it not? We had a taste before. Back in the winter. It wasn't enough! There was something... missing. The adrenaline of war softens the fear of men. Their souls don't ring with the color of panic and confusion as they try to ''understand'' what's happening, moments before their demise. '''''It's DELICIOUS.''''' Our hunger grew those months. We waited. And then all it took was a simple 3... 2... 1... and you all obliged.
* NoNameGiven: 'Watcher' is their species, not their name. The Watchers in Evo were simply referred to as "Watcher 1" and "Watcher 2", with Grian eventually becoming "Watcher 3". The Watcher from Last Life goes similarly unnamed.
* PragmaticVillainy: If a season is too traumatic for a player, the Watchers usually pull them out for the next season so they can heal their souls... so that they can feed on the players again should they heal enough to participate in a future season.
* RhymesOnADime: Throughout their appearances in 3rd Life and Limited Life, they exclusively speak in rhyme. Subverted in Last Life, however.
* RoyalWe: They refer to themselves as "we", even though there's no indication of there being more than one Watcher involved.
* WalkingSpoiler: Since it's implied that the Watchers are responsible for the Life series happening in the first place, to discuss its origins will inevitably involve discussing the Watchers' existence and presence. It also makes it quite difficult to talk about Grian's backstory and true identity.
* WhamLine: With one line, the Watcher reveals their own identity, confirms that [[CanonWelding Evo and Last Life take place in the same universe]], reveals that Grian isn't even ''human'', and reintroduces a well-loved character from a five-year-old SMP that has long since ended.
-->'''Martyn:''' Just... tell me one thing before I go. Why were you so set on Grian?\\
'''The Watcher:''' Hmph... HIM. He was never meant to be there. He was only ever meant to ''watch''.
