Markiplier

Shirk: Haunted

**Markiplier** is the fourth character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*.

## Character Description

Mark Edward Fischbach, better known by his online alias *Markiplier*, is an American YouTube personality, online entertainer, producer, actor, and voice actor, as well as the co-host of the now-defunct *Unus Annus* channel. Mark is known for his various Let's Plays of games, usually in the horror genre, such as *Amnesia: The Dark Descent*, *Five Nights at Freddy's* and *Slender*, but his main focus is on indie games of varying genres, for the purposes of giving them more attention. He is also known to have played games outside of horror, such as *Minecraft*, and *Happy Wheels*. He usually provides humorous commentary over his gameplay, often cracking jokes. His fans commend the way he interacts with his community, as well as his humble attitudes. He's also quite sarcastic in terms of social media.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Mark was one of the first group of people invited to join Beatdown, along with Strong Bad, John Egbert, Edd and Stephen Quire. Prior to his invitation, Mark was sent a prototype of *Lawl Beatdown* to Let's Play. He promotes the game, while he's also coaxed into joining upon seeing himself as a playable character. Since then, Mark has moved into the Smash Bros. Lawl Beatdown Mansion, where he continues to play video games and do Let's Plays, sometimes playing alongside other combatants.

Mark was also the one who would find PeanutButterGamer in the mansion's backyard after he was late for his return, and would give him a tour of the mansion. He also encountered Frisk and Viola in the mansion's hallway. From then on, he began feeling uneasy over Viola's true nature, and would make a pact with Frisk to watch over each other if she were to try anything.

Unbeknownst to Mark, since joining Beatdown, Darkiplier latched onto him, following Mark in a dark void parallel to the mansion much like the Upside-Down in Markiplier Manor, in order to exact his revenge on Mark. He would later meet Chara and Ellen, and the 3 would begin plotting to eact revenge on both Mark and Viola, planning on using Eduardo as a host...

In BeatdownBound, when Frisk interacts with him, Mark will tell Frisk that there are a few people in the mansion he already seems to know, mentioning Watts, Rosalene, Frisk and Viola. Frisk can also ask him for Choccy Milk, and while initially sounding annoyed over the Choccy Milk meme, Mark gives Frisk the Choccy Milk anyway, after declaring that they are epic. Upon receiving the Choccy Milk from Mark, Frisk takes it to Asriel and Chara's grave as a peace offering, which Chara will later drink.

### Playstyle

Like Edd, Mark is very well rounded to reflect the variety of roles he takes when not only playing games, but starring in other projects. He can alter his stats with chooseable buffs and has decent reflexes to give him a variety of approaches. Mark is adaptable and dependable, and while he might not have the edge to tackle more specialized fighters, he can show his mettle to anyone.
