Wedding SurgeryMoonshine Massacre

**Lowkey** is one of the oldest members of Ancapistan, getting personally invited from Wil.

Lowkey is a hypersomniac wither ram hybrid that tends to be an “outsider”. He often is seen underground or indoors. He has the “for Ancapistan” mindset and will stand by it for hope of recognition and praise

Lowkey has two lives, *however*, everyone including himself thinks he is on one.

## Appearance

With a similar face to old history, Lowkey sports a unique scar from his neck to upper lip on his right side, showing off gums and fang. He also sports another scar across his nose and has a bit of shin stubble. Lowkey also has ram horns sprouting from his head, although it seems to be dyed a dark red. The hybrid’s wither status also makes him have black claws and feet pads, also sprouting a tail from his spine.

After the festival, he lost his vision and is sensitive to light, making him wear goggles to hopefully dull it before having surgery to fix it on July 8th, 2021 during Tommy and Ria's wedding. The surgery was a success only to leave him with a heavy scar on his neck that leaves his voice hoarse. He has bandages around his neck to stop the bleeding.

## Personality

### Main Personality

Lowkey on the outside is very stand-offish and introverted to an extent. Dealing with the aftermath of his isolation, he doesn't understand how to deal with new people. It takes a few conversations for him to fully grasp people.

When he lets his walls down, he seems to show compassion and care in his own ways. He tends to put others first before himself as a way to protect them. Damaging himself in the process to keep his close ones happy. Lowkey is very self-sacrificial and, although, he tends to think before he speaks when collected, he does not think before his actions.

### Mental Health

Lowkey seems to have a history with mental issues. Spanning from the time at the Church all the way up to the aftermath of his surgery. Although not much is shown to the rest of the server, its presumed that Lowkey hides it behind his cocky attitude.

#### Church/Arrival

With his arrival at the Church, Lowkey's mental issues take formation here due to the constant abuse of experiments onto him. With harm, isolation, and constant fear being planted onto him, he tended to get emotional at the church, causing a constant back and forth of lashing out and staying silent. After he escaped, he was able to get fresh air and try to work on himself. During his time in the church, he formed ***Ecclesiophobia,*** a fear of churches and religions.

With his arrival to Hous, he attempted to wrap his feelings down. It didn't work out as well as Lowkey hoped as people found him suspicious. Lowkey grew into wanting to be accepted. The hunger of wanting to fit in grew constantly and came into light at the festival a bit by rambling on with the others to show that he can be a capable value to Ancapistan.

#### Post-Festival

Losing sight wasn't the only thing Lowkey lost at the festival, Lowkey tended to snap and lost themselves. Forming a case of ***Agoraphobia*** - a fear of outdoors or places that can cause a sense of panic - and shutting himself more inside his bunker and building his "Oasis", which is later called his "Tomb". Due to the constant nightmares from his comas, suicidal thoughts, and more; Lowkey started to wither away as acceptance that he will always be overlooked.

Not caring about his own health, two other Ancap members had to help him get out and see the world again. Lowkey has changed his view and decides to give it another shot to work on himself. Going so far to even accept help and partake in a surgery to fix his eyesight from the newest Ancapistan member. As preperation, he got more connected to Ancapistan and was able to form a bond with the rest of the members. For once, he felt as if he was overcoming his fears and finally feeling equal.

#### Post-Surgery

After the surgery, Lowkey felt born anew. Being born anew, however, comes with a fresh start. All that Lowkey worked for was gone. With his hard work gone, Lowkey decides to mask how he feels in public with his new personality. He keeps his mental health under wraps once again. Giving answers to dodge the questions or a short answer to make sure he doesn't open what he actually struggles with. Dealing with his death, his fears worsening, and paranoia rising, Lowkey seems to dabble in various of alcoholic drinks as well as drugs and smoking. He openly smokes as a way to stress relief and keeps the majority of his substance abuse wrapped with his mental issues. He references in his journals that he “yells and screams at the walls till his voice is gone completely. His pillow and the water/lava he swims in erase the tears from built up stress”.

#### Downfall

Watching his family constantly getting hurt and his husbands passing does a number to a person. Lowkeys mental state has seemed to gotten worse and is now outwardly shown in acts of self-abnegation. Openly keeping bottles of health potions with his alcohol and lack of impulse, he outward displays worrying signs of suicidal tendencies. Constantly showing mood shifts and self-destructing, the ram appears to be deeply trouble and shows unhealthy coping mechanisms for his wither, (drinking shots of health potions, dunking his hands in lava, and more.) He refuses the mental state he is in to anyone that calls him out on it.

## Ideology

Lowkey values the idea of freedom and living for oneself. He himself tends to care more about others as his mental health spirals, but he advocates for one's ability to roam the land with no chains attached - one prime example is his free speech of letting sheep roam around in the open fields. He claims himself on the side of Ancapistan, being very against an idea of a government, particularly a *ruler* based one, as well as anti-religion. Although not as extreme as before, the ram mentions his hatred of churches and mentions how "silly it is to believe in a salvation".

Lowkey also believes in "One is All, All is One" - a universal law that the universe might be infinite, but will continue going after death comes- making Lowkey accept the life and death cycle. The universe brings consequences and brings up Lowkey's value of "equivalent exchange". Even in greed of riches or heavily protective instincts, the withered man claims everything must be of fair trade or will throw off the universal law. He shows an example of this as a result of a curse from the Blood Oath he had made.

## History

### Pre-Hous

*Lowkey* was born in a normal village with his brother, Tealeaf, and parents. He lived a normal life up until fifteen, where his village fell victim to the constant attacks from the rival churches, The Church of Fey and The Church of Nether. The Churches took many of the young ones and dragged them to be a part of their religions, willingly or not. Lowkey was separated from his brother and parents, being forced into The Church of Nether.

The Church of Nether believed only of the Wither. They believed the Wither can heal all, those being mental, physical, or emotional. They forced the young to be a part of experiments so the higher ranks can become the perfect being. That perfect being a part of the Wither’s army as a skeleton that roams the fortresses and catacombs, or becoming a Wither themselves. The Church tends to use injections, their research of putting the wither’s crushed petal directly into the person's blood proving to be most effective or the fastest and most “painless” way of rejection, killing the testee in the process. Lowkey, being a new victim to the Church, was injected with the Wither’s status and was turned into an impure. Although the impure are not seen as often, they aren’t normal, hence being why they were given the title “impure”, both getting approved/rejected by the same time. The Wither’s Curse left a mark on his arms and legs, along with a tail out of his spine. The Church found this to be a case that Lowkey might be the one that lights the path to purity.

Lowkey was locked in a cell for the rest of his teen years, being forced to take the Church’s religious lectures as well as many forms of experimentation. He was nineteen when one of the bishops let go of his chains, letting him book it to the nearest nether portal. He was able to escape to the Overworld and was able to relearn the world before wandering onto the land of Hous.

### Arrival

The ram wandered into Hous on May 14th, 2021, being greeted by Wil and introducing him to the lands. There he was invited to a campsite and group titled Ancapistan. With nowhere to go and Wil being the first in a long while to be kind to him, he accepted the offer and started to build a place to stay on a hillside. He carved a home into the mountain and in the coming weeks met Ria, Tommy, and eventually a new member named Phoenix, all a part of Ancapistan. He soon learned about the walled-off community “The Village”. He heard stories from Ancapistan of them and decided to start mining underground to create a bunker as well as an “Oasis” of safety and comfort.

Over time he also went to one of The Villages parties, learning about the Flock and it's weird sheep god, as well as talked more with the Ancapistan members. He even participated in the Detroit “Conga Line”, a trafficking of villagers to get them to a village for Ancap. Since then, he felt pushed to the side a bit. Feeling more and more secluded from Ancapistan as Phoenix forms a plan to hurt Order and deeming Lowkey as a future traitor in front of Ria. He hides himself in his bunker more after that and comes up to help Ancapistan in the construction of the courthouse.

After silence, Lowkey was then invited to The Festival. A server wide party just for the hell of it that Wil has helped gather. The ram was excited due to the fact that they wanted to include him so he was quick to approve his attendance. Connecting with many new faces, including a new “brother” named Light, he felt welcomed after a long time. Order then deemed themselves the leader of the Village. Ancapistan bursted into anger, including himself, with Wil proceeding to publicly take Order’s first life. With the festival in chaos, Lowkey couldn’t hear the hiss of TNT that was placed under the floorboards by Wil and Tommy and stepped too close to the blast. Without losing a life, Lowkey came out heavily injured. Losing his eyesight and feeling alone in a now dark world.

### Post-Festival

After the festival, Lowkey hid away from the outside world. Locking himself in his bunker and not letting anyone know what he is building underneath the surface. Days and weeks passed before he allowed Order to step inside his home. The phantom started a conversation and gave Lowkey a way to see the world again, a way to get his eyesight back...only problem was he had to go outside. The treatment for his eyes required for him to step out of his home to see the doctor. Lowkey declined. He shut Order out as he felt pressured to go out and continued work on his tomb.

Eventually, Phoenix and Ria did a welfare check to see the state he was in. During the conversation, Phoenix was hostile towards the withered ram as Ria actually listened to his concerns. They listened to his fears before inviting him to the North Arctic Commune. There he helped get used to the outside a bit more as well as being close to some of the Ancapistan members. Lowkey did eventually talk to Wil about the Festival disaster. He learns that it wasn't meant to happen, that Tommy was the one to fix the bombs and lit the fuse as a sign of loyalty. After the talk, Lowkey accepted Wil's apology and went on with his day.

Days passed before Lowkey makes contact with Order via letter, where he gains name of the doctor that can help him. A robot named L that has a large knowledge of procedures and medicine. Lowkey gathers up the courage and meets him to talk about his eyesight.

### Post-Mortem and an Oath

After the surgery, Lowkey was pissed with himself. With the mix of weird items for the procedure along with not heeding Wil's warning, he feels at fault for getting Tommy and himself killed. He wouldn't admit that last part out loud, however, only saying sorry to Wil for not listening and getting Ancap into this mess. He showed Ria his cell recreation and told Ria that his memory was back, still blurry in parts but there, not going farther in why he has a recreation of his cell under his bunker.

The blood oath is a tradition for members in the Nether Church. The oath acts as a bond or promise depending on the circumstances. It can act as a curse as well. Lowkey, as self-acclaimed Guardian of Moonshine and a resolution to Ancapistan, went through the Blood Oath Ritual, binding his blood to a book with his own changes to a rune, promising that he'll make sure his family is safe. Being left with a deep scar over his chest, Lowkey put the mark as carvings in everything he can. Moonshine armor, jewelry, houses, anything he can mark to protect the ones he loves. The curse upon Lowkey that came with the oath was one of hurt, the scar he made will open up if a close one is hurt or even kill him if the close one is dying.

### The Downfall

After constant mental abuse and physical wounds, people can now see a obvious change in Lowkey. Harsh words and snarky tones on his tongue, clearly showing his state and paranoid getting worse. The ram is now overprotective of the ones he does holds dear but passes it off as if he doesn't care to others. Following Lowkey's mental state, Lowkey started to devise plans to keep the server safe from the ones that attempt to bring harm, mostly keeping his main plan of removing L from the server.

After the Moonshine Massacre, Wil assumingly went missing. Leaving his prized axe and his confused husbands, Lowkey didn't fret at first known how Wil can handle himself. He learned of his husband demise later that night in Lowkey's own limbo, Wil was dead. The wither was deemed as a grieving "widow" and put himself as a shoulder for people. Telling Evera his wishes, grieving to Tealeaf, before finally getting the courage to tell Tommy, only to be shut down. Tommy stated that it was a dream to Lowkey before leaving him in their shared bedroom. Lowkey shut himself off after that. Blocking the windows and doors in his Moonshine home, intending to wither away and get it over with.

Time has passed and Lowkey seems to have gotten worst.
