## ***Description***

Moot Tarbela is an Apple Corps Officer for Bliss Ocean. He has no underlings and works alone. His job is to eliminate or BOOP the criminals and epithet users Bliss Ocean deems too powerful to stay alive. He is an insufferable loner and kind of an idiot. He rarely hangs out with the main Bliss Ocean group as he's busy finding more people to fight. He wants to defeat his brother Indus. Moot also seems to be semi-aware of the 4th wall.

.

## Prologue

He and his brother Indus lived in a monastery in the desert country where they trained both their bodies and their epithets. Moot eventually left the monasteries for mostly unknown reasons. It is presumed that it was because he was bored with fighting Indus who was much weaker than him.

## Hot! Crispy! Dazzling!

Although he is mainly a background NPC, Moot does play a fairly large role in this episode. He joins Yoomtah and Zora to interrorgate/kill Mera Salamin who is imprisoned in the lockdown. He then, after realizing that his brother Indus is there sets off to find and challenge him. He reveals himself to both the party and Moot much to everyone's surprise, only to be interrupted by Yoomtah who is determined to win a prisoner gathering game. Not much is seen of him afterward aside from an odd encounter in the kitchen.

## Wartime Brainwash Beacon

This episode takes place within the Moot Realm, an alternate world which acts as the embodiment of Moot's epithet. He only appears in the end as the final boss, but he comments either out loud or on notes throughout the entirety of the episode. His minions also appear but they act as more of a nuisance than an actual threat. In the last fight although he is weakened by Mira's outclass. He still proves to be an actual threat. However, with the party backing Indus up, they manage to defeat him. He then goes on to serve Indus and Mera in the old monastery.

## Annihilate Adjustable Flaw

Moot was seen in Rick's epilogue cut scene, in which he lives at the monestary with Indus, Mera, and Rick. He refuses to be Rick's friend and constantly makes fun of the others in ways that have no effect on them despite his best efforts. His epilogue quote was: "Moot was the flower girl at [Indus' and Mera's] wedding. It was the worst!"

## Powers

Epithet: Moot

Moot's Epithet, which is also Moot, is a weird one. At first, it was assumed that he simply erases things from existence. (also referred to as "booping") When in actuality he just sends them to The Moot Realm. He can also teleport himself and others wherever he wants by travelling through The Moot Realm.

The Moot Realm

The Moot Realm is Moots domain where he is at his strongest. It is theoretically endless and has been understandably compared to purgatory, mainly because it is dark, bleak and punishing. Those who are in the Moot Realm run the constant threat of turning into sad little shadings who aren't dead but also not alive as they are small silent and forever confined to The Moot Realm till they die. However it is possible to repel these effects by simply keeping a fond memory close to your heart.
