In-game name: iBallisticSquid
Preferred name: Squid
One of the four founding members of the SMP. After obtaining Kindness from James in the First Stream, he has been determined to keep and regain the sword at all costs in a quest for power, and intends to find all the netherite items to become the most powerful person on the server.- Alternate Identity Amnesia: Implied. After he ended his POV of the Curse stream, he seemed to into a trance of sorts and was implied to be possessed by Kindness. However, when he logs on for the Post-Curse stream the next day, he finds Kindness in a chest surrounded by torches like a cult summoning circle, instead of in his ender chest as he last put it, implying that he had no memory of being possessed by Kindness.
- Ambition Is Evil: His desire to become the most powerful player on the server — through obtaining all netherite gear on the server — causes him to use unethical means to obtain said netherite gear — most notably Kindness the sword — and alienate himself from his friends, who confront him on this during their Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure, though it is still debatable how much of his ambition is fueled by the Artifact of Doom nature of the sword.
- Arrows on Fire: His bow is enchanted with Flame, which allows him to shoot these.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: During the Post-Curse Stream, he kills Dan while being possessed by Kindness.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: What happened to Squid after the Curse stream?Squid: Whatcha mean? There's nothing to talk about! You know, I just went home, had a cup of tea, the sword started speaking to me, and then— and then I went shopping… [incoherent rambling]Justin: WHAT?!
- Bystander Syndrome: During the Hunt for Netherite stream, he does nothing when Justin goes on his murderous rampage against his friends. He gets called out on this.
- The Chessmaster: He acts as one during the Gamble stream, where he retracts his deal to gamble Kindness the netherite sword with Dan using Exact Words and a deal with James, then brings up (read: makes up) the rule that there could only ever be one of each piece of netherite gear on the server during the gamble, which James only found out after they made the deal for Kindness (the night before the Gamble, James reasoned that he would be able to get his own netherite sword in the future). And he did that within the span of, apparently, half an hour. This is eventually deconstructed as later in the series, it is listed among the server rules not to trust Squid (though it was, for the most part, Played for Laughs), and Dan and James have made plans to get revenge on him for double-crossing both of them in one fell swoop during the gamble for Kindness.
- The Corruptible: He is this when Kindness is concerned.
- Evil Sounds Deep: His voice becomes much deeper when he is being possessed by Kindness.
- Exact Words: He hatches a scheme invoking this to get out of getting Kindness scammed off of him by Dan.
- Expository Pronoun: While being Brainwashed and Crazy, he refers to himself with "we", which gets lampshaded whenever it happens.
- Fighting from the Inside: During the Post-Curse stream, he briefly makes cries for help twice while being possessed by Kindness.<iBallistiicSquid> help me
In-game chat: iBallistiicSquid left the game - First-Name Basis: He is sometimes called by his real life first name, "David".
- Hearing Voices: Ever since Kindness was returned to him after the restricted quest, the sword has been speaking to him in his head, telling him to do look for the next netherite piece.
- Hopeless with Tech: Type 2. He laments never being able to understand redstone.
- I Call It "Vera": His enchanted diamond sword is named "sPAIN". His enchanted trident is also named "Pogseidon".
- I Lied: He promises James a full set of diamond armour to keep Kindness from being put up for gamble with Dan, but goes back on his promise by hiring a mercenary through his quest shop to kill James and bring him the sword, because it would be cheaper. Dan, who took on the quest, proceeds to call him out on this in the Curse stream.Dan: You gave it back to James… but with… with some kind of deal? [Squid affirms the statement.] And you didn't even pull through on the deal!
- Loose Lips: In the Secret Project stream, he accidentally lets it slip that a second piece of netherite has been found — in front of Justin, who swore to keep it a secret; Ecko, the Naïve Newcomer; and Dan, who had no idea what happened on their end of the Hunt for Netherite stream.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Usually he's called "Squid" or a variation of it, and is rarely called by his username, or even more rarely, his real name.
- Oop North: He lives in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and has a very strong accent to prove it too.
- Pet the Dog: Despite being a rather shady guy, he shows Cupquake the nether fortress he found to help her complete her quest during the Slice of Life stream.
- Prongs of Poseidon: Fittingly for a squid, he makes a quest in his shop with the goal being to obtain one of these. As a result, he currently owns one enchanted with Riptide named "Pogseidon".
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: After making a deal over the restricted quest for Kindness, his right arm turned red and black to signify the deal has been struck. It's when his arm doesn't turn back to its normal dark blue with yellow hoodie sleeve, remaining red and black, that symbolizes that something went wrong with the deal (whether it was due to the Curse of Vanishing specifically or the sword being more sinister than originally expected) and he was currently The Corruptible for Kindness.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: At the end of the Post-Curse stream, he goes on one against Dan for Cursing Kindness, while being Brainwashed and Crazy. It is still ambiguous how much of the rampage was fueled by Kindness and how much is done on his own volition.
- Terrestrial Sea Life: He's a squid who lives on land.
- Troll: He is described as one in the Curse stream, and it shows.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: After becoming the owner of Kindness, he becomes desperate to keep the sword to become more and more powerful, to the point of ordering murder to get the sword back instead of paying his dues, and alienating his friends to the point that they got turned off from owning any netherite MacGuffin. He also gets called out on this.Dan: As soon as you touched that sword, Squid, as soon as you— you felt its power, you changed, buddy, you changed.
DanTDM
"Oh, man… what have we done? He was literally— so, the awkward thing is, he was our best friend on the server, and, um… yeah, we made him mad. […] He's always on at the same time, and now we've made our— our most loyal friend mad."

- In-Series Nickname: Squid calls him and his business some variation of "scam" or "ScamTDM" after he opens his gambling booth.

- Sharp-Dressed Man: He changes into a suit while running the gambling stall.

Dan: It was in my ender chest. I had a strange feeling about today, dude— I had a weird feeling. - You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His initial reaction to finding a Curse of Vanishing enchanted book in a dungeon.Dan: ...Are you for real?! Are you— This is—

- Attack Reflector: His diamond armour is enchanted with Thorns.
- Butt-Monkey: During the start of the series, he gets subjected to endless Epic Fail moments. In the first stream, he had problems with his audio since it was his first time streaming on Twitch in years and got knocked down a massive cavern-hole in the ground so many times the gang named it "Justin's Hole". Squid also tested Kindness on him, causing him to lose 6 hearts. Then on the second day, he gets framed for various pranks he didn't pull. Afterwards, during the gamble stream, he loses his diamond axe to Dan in a gamble, then falls to his death in the bedrock-deep hole Squid dug in Dan's temporary base, and then gets killed by a drowned. And then, during Squid's birthday stream, his dog gets hidden underneath his base as a prank. And that's not even through the first week of the SMP.
- Bullying a Dragon: When being threatened by Kindness possessed Dan with the destruction of his home, he proceeds to tease Kindness fearlessly, despite the fact he knows what she can do to him.

- Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu??: Same as Bullying A Dragon above.
- Drunk On Power: After being in contact with Kindness, he gains a desire for power and kills two of his friends suddenly as an act of evil to activate the compass leading to the next MacGuffin. In response to a fan question
on the suddenness of the action, he has this to say:Justin (replying to a Twitter post): The draw of power can surprise you. - Et Tu, Brute?: During the Hunt for Netherite stream, he kills James in cold blood and chases Dan until he falls off a ledge and dies from fall damage, to prove himself evil enough to follow the compass leading him to the next piece of netherite.
- Face–Heel Turn: In the Hunt for Netherite stream, he turns against and kills two of his friends to prove himself evil enough to follow the compass to the next Artifact of Doom.
- Fish Eyes: His Minecraft appearance has these.
- Karma Houdini: Justin was supposed to go to court for the murders of James and Dan, and was likely to be thrown in prison for it. To prevent this from happening, he ran away, leaving his things behind, and after the will there is no follow-up. Especially considering the fact he blew up Squid's shop.
- Naked People Are Funny: In an Epic Fail moment during the New Member stream, he ends up stripping down to his underwear. Hilarity Ensues.
- The Scapegoat: It's a Running Gag that he gets blamed for every other prank pulled on the server.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Occasionally he slips into more complex vocabulary, like "desecrated" during the Post-Curse stream.
- Surprisingly Sudden Death: In the ‘Hunting for Netherite’ stream, Think was simply mining in the nether when SB comes up behind him and brutally slaughters him, before stealing Revenge and running, leaving Think dazed and confused.

Preferred name: James
"And it's kind of funny because the sword is called 'Kindness', but it's brought [...] no kind of kindness to the server, it's b-brought betrayal, it's brought deceit, it's brought tensions... all for this stupid sword."

- Hidden Depths: He's a bee farmer who hasn't played Minecraft for so long he forgot how to make torches.

- In-Series Nickname: "Jimmy", as he labelled his WIP house in a stream.

- Nice Guy: For the most part, he is just an all-round pleasant guy to be around, who would help fix your house if your friend accidentally ruins it with some ill-timed water buckets.

Click here to see Squid holding Kindness
"A new piece of netherite has been found."
A cursed netherite sword. It was found in the First Stream, and has changed hands numerous times since it was found. It is currently in Squid's possession.- Artifact of Attraction: Initially, all but one of the four founders of the SMP have had interest in owning the sword due to its power. Subverted when James realizes the power the sword holds and expresses relief in being rid of it in the Curse stream, with Dan sharing similar sentiments; which implies their interest in Kindness in the first place is because it is a MacGuffin, not necessarily because the sword itself draws people towards it.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Apparently it is capable of inducing this, being able to control the actions of the wielders of the sword.
- Cool Sword: It is the only netherite sword on the server.
- The Corruption: It is able to possess its owner.
- Cursed Item: Up to the Curse stream, Dan and James conspire and succeed in enchanting Kindness with a Curse of Vanishing book, in revenge for Squid double-crossing both of themnote . In Minecraft, the Curse of Vanishing makes anything with it disappear when a player carrying it dies, unable to be picked up, and since Kindness is the only netherite sword on the server...
- Demonic Possession: It enacts Type 3 on its wielders.
- Evil Sounds Deep: While possessing Squid, it speaks with a deep voice.
- Evil Weapon: It can speak to its wielders and corrupt them by controlling their minds and actions.
- Hearing Voices: It can speak to wielders of the sword through their minds.
- Ironic Name: According to James during his episode Introducing HONEY CO. FARMS!, Kindness the sword has been anything but kind to the server and only serves to bring discourse as a MacGuffin.Thnxcya on why he thinks Kindness is cursed: And it's kind of funny because the sword is called "Kindness", but it's brought nothing— [laughs] it's brought— it's brought no kind of kindness to the server, it's b-brought betrayal, it's brought deceit, it's brought tensions... all for this stupid sword.
- Named Weapons: It was already named when it was found.
- Red Is Violent: When Kindness takes over Squid and Dan, their arm turns red. Usually this results in someone's death or threatened death.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Since the possession incidents, Kindness has been hidden away.
- Slippery MacGuffin: Kindness the sword has changed hands twice in the first couple of days of the server's existence.
- Sword of Plot Advancement: The first few streams (and thus the first story arc) revolve around Kindness the netherite sword being the MacGuffin, but it is also stated that other gear made of netherite exist out there.
Unearthing Revenge
A netherite pickaxe. It is currently in Justin's possession.
- Bilingual Bonus: The name of the compass leading to it — Take Heed — is written in the Standard Galactic alphabet. The name of the pickaxe — Unearthing Revenge is also written in the alphabet.
