## Character Overview

EquiNox\_Music, more commonly known as EquiNox, is a side character on the BigManSiMP. He is mostly known for his similarities to Technoblade and his "Fire and Ice" aesthetics. His rough upbringing in The Far North hardened him and made him both stoic and cold, to the point where most view him as numb to emotion. He is generally quiet and keeps to himself, a coping mechanism that he has developed after the death of his family and husband, Will II. However, he will occasionally associate with others when the need arises. He has made it a personal rule that he will only ally with others for personal gain; a rule that he struggles to adhere to as he develops bonds and attachments to the people he works with. During difficult situations, he will do his best to lighten the mood with jokes, possibly attempting to ignore his legitimate emotions that may get in the way. However, despite the emotionless façade he keeps up, he will sometimes allow his remaining emotion to guide his actions and may go out of his way to protect his favorites on the SMP. Despite his seemingly vague personality, he is an incredibly creative person who enjoys building large structures, transportation systems, and farms. He is also secretly sentimental, making hidden shrines to his deceased family and his lost love that he will often visit in order to pay respects. He is also the only member of The Big Man SMP to be familiar with the shifting of the universe, as he has survived multiple throughout his long lifetime.

## Character History

### Early Life

EquiNox is a humanoid being with no distinguishable features who was found and adopted as a baby by human parents in The Far North in 1902. He was raised to survive in the harsh and desolate environment and quickly learned how to gather resources, build survival-based structures, and kill. He would travel throughout the Cold North with his family, consisting of his mother, father, little sister, and grandparents. However, the repeated shifting of the universe constantly threw new threats at the family, resulting in many deaths. By the time he was 14, EquiNox was the sole survivor of his family, and as a result had become cold and detached from the world around him.

### Will

Having grown up in an incredibly cold environment, EquiNox was incredibly inexperienced when it came to the dangers of the Nether. In 1922, while taking his first trip into The Nether in order to collect glowstone, EquiNox was nearly killed several times, only surviving after being saved by and consequently meeting the flower forest occupant, Will II. The two would end up becoming friends, and going on many adventures together before eventually falling in love and getting married in 1924. EquiNox would move into the flower forest with Will II, who would build houses and farms for them (especially focused on bees and flowers as he absolutely loved yellow, sunshiny aesthetics) while EquiNox continued to kill monsters and hunt. During this time, Will II would teach EquiNox to both farm and appreciate the beauty of structures built for beauty and not only for the sake of survival. While the couple would often argued over aesthetics, Will II would always get his way in the end, as he was able to soften EquiNox's cold exterior in a way that nobody else could. This would not only be a contributing factor in their love for each other, but would lead to EquiNox giving him the nickname, "Sunshine," as he said that Will, "made his whole world brighter". To parallel this, Will started to refer to EquiNox as, "My Moonlight," because EquiNox appeared as the single source of happiness in his darkest time. The two would also collect many pets during their relationship, such as Kipper and Original Lexi. In 1999, Will II would be killed in the Nether when a Ghast explosion collapsed the gravel under him, throwing him into lava. His death would cause EquiNox to become colder and more detached than ever; and to this day he is still scarred by the loss.

### The Big Man SMP

#### Season 1

Throughout the first season of the Big Man SMP, EquiNox was a relatively inconsequential character. He first appeared a few days after the creation of Simpsterville and quickly befriended Stella and eventually Will (who at first made conversations very confusing due to sharing a name with Will II), while also developing a form of friendship/rivalry with Niki and Michael Stepacide. He ran for president of the SMP and won, but did absolutely nothing with the title an consequently lost the second election. He would eventually move away from Simpsterville to build an empire for himself elsewhere. He briefly returned to start an assassin business with Stella and build an entire sewer system under the city as well as a storage facility with a secret bunker under it. He would later protect Will in the bunker after Will was briefly kidnapped by Niki while she attempted to take over Simpsterville and turn it into a double-decker city. He would then return to the shadows for a bit until Will declared himself the dictator of the server, prompting EquiNox to reluctantly attempt to kill him after it was clear that reasoning with him wouldn't work. EquiNox was defeated and returned to his life in solitude, beginning work on a large project before the universe shifted again, leaving his work unfinished.

## Trivia

* EquiNox's only fear is fire, as he was raised in a cold environment and he is easily damaged by fire. Will II's death to lava in The Nether only strengthened this fear.
* EquiNox's skin, potato farming, and hatred of government are all inspired by Technoblade, as he is constantly told that he sounds like Technoblade.
