Black Plasma Studios

Arbiter (also known as David R.B., Arby, or Arbiter 617) is the leader and founder of Black Plasma Studios and an ally of the Resistance. He used to create Minecraft animations, but now spends most of his free time with game design. That said, he's mostly busy with helping the Resistance in the Battle of Ardonia. Arbiter also created Ardonia, as well as Steve.

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Arbiter's early life, but we do he was originally just a regular human from Earth. He was originally known as David R.B., which is his actual name. Arbiter was a nickname he developed later on.

### Founding Black Plasma Studios

Arbiter created Black Plasma Studios long ago. Originally, the group created Halo machinimas, long before moving into Minecraft animations. Arbiter would eventually befriend and recruit others into BPS, which was about the point where it became a Minecraft animation channel. Arbiter used Blender to animate.

### Creation of Steve

Arbiter eventually came across an artifact from space, which gave him powers that he didn't originally realize he'd acquired. He eventually left the artifact and returned to his home, not thinking much of it.

However, he accidentally used his powers to bring a copy of Steve from Minecraft, an asset in one of his Blender files, to life. This fascinated him, and he quickly befriended the now sentient Steve.

Unfortunately, Arbiter also unknowingly created a Blender version of Herobrine to oppose Steve. Herobrine then created a group of minions and began to cause chaos. Eventually, Arbiter and Steve intervened and managed to defeat Herobrine and his minions, along with help from the other BPS members.

### Creation of Ardonia

Now knowing he had powers, Arbiter decided to take things one step forward and create his own universe, which ended up becoming Ardonia. His powers also allowed him to be ageless, and he decided to grant that same trait to his fellow BPS members. This allowed them to remain the same age throughout Ardonia's history.

Despite being a god to the Ardonians, Arbiter tended to treat them as people on his own level, as if he wasn't above them in any way. For a deity, he was rather casual. He also rarely interfered with Ardonia and its affairs, believing it was a better idea to see where the world would end up naturally. The only time he really interfered was in the Battle of Ardonia much latter, since that was an illegal foreign invasion by the Alliance.

At some point, Thalleous Sendaris came across a being who he had *believed* to be Arbiter, but it was actually Omega. This led to Thalleous becoming Omega's servant. Since Omega and Thalleous were being discrete with their schemes, the real Arbiter never really learned about what had happened.

### The Jonathan Crisis

Since BPS were the legal owners of the dimension Ardonia was located in, PoseidonHeir contacted Arbiter after seeing an Alliance invasion force going to Ardonia. PoseidonHeir explained this to Arbiter, and requested military access for the Resistance to arm and defend the world against the inevitable invasion. Arbiter declared that not only would he grant the Resistance access, he would also ensure the 6 main BPS animators would be fighting with the Resistance on the frontlines. Arbiter was dedicated to the world he created.

Since then, Arbiter and his comrades assisted the Resistance in the battle. He eventually sent Steve to help as well, though he as yet to do anything major. Additionally, during the fight at the Vault, Arbiter sent Omeleto, another member of the BPS team, to help reinforce the local defenses, along with PoseidonHeir and TheGreaterA.

When Thalleous betrayed the Resistance, Arbiter publicly condemned him, which reduced the amount of Ardoni who switched sides dramatically, although that number was ultimately still very high.

Recently, Galleous, the brother of Thalleous, approached Black Plasma Studios, who had remained on the side of the Resistance. He pledged his allegiance to the Resistance, claiming that his brother had to be stopped. He revealed a way to weaken Thalleous. Upon hearing of this, Arbiter told TheGreaterA and GarfielfStuff via transmission.

Arbiter has yet to do anything else yet, but he remains a dedicated ally of the Resistance.
