PolarIce vs. Lucky duel

Dev is the founder of the Hardcore SMP, the server's owner, and its first member. He joined on December 14, 2020. He founded the Hardcore SMP and was the faction's emperor when it was an empire.

He opposed WeirdApe, Lucky, and Pivotal's Spirit in the Hardcore SMP vs. America War, allied with the entire server to defeat WeirdApe during The Heroes vs. The Villains War, and declared war on Kinoko Kingdom for refusing to give up their country to the empire.

He came to Lucky's rescue in The Jerry Conflict before Pivotal was about to kill him. Also after not talking to Lucky for a year, he lured him back to the server into the Dev vs. Lucky duel and killed him. Him and Skull Tissue also assisted PolarIce in tracking down WeirdApe after he broke out of Atlantis' Palace. Dev is considered the best duelist in the server.

## Physiology

Dev's in-game appearance is an iron golem in an FBI suit with a badge on the chest, black pants, and white shoes. However he is considered a shapeshifter because of his former appearance as an enderman in a suit.

## Personality

Dev is an incredibly dominant character who uses intimidation to get the things he wants. He is well-composed and is good at quickly making decisions. Dev has always been a natural leader figure, being the owner of the server and always being the wealthiest person in the server. He is very familiar with the art of military combat and is never really seen without his enchanted netherite gear, trident, and more. He is a mysterious figure, never revealing his true and full plans to anyone.

Before New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom's drug trade, he was mostly friendly with everyone on the server, excluding his oppressors. He never tried to dominate anyone before this time other than during the Hardcore SMP vs. America War when he tried to overthrow the new government. However after he found out about the drug trade, something inside of him snapped. He came up with the plan to transform Hardcore SMP into an Empire and force all the members of the server to join the empire or one of its districts. Previously, Dev didn't care if people tried to be a part of factions other than Hardcore SMP. But nowadays, if anyone isn't a part of Hardcore Empire, Dev sees them as an enemy. Dev only shows his true personality when the time is right, particularly around his close friends and allies like Skull Tissue and Lucky.

### Motives

At the beginning of the server, Dev's hope was to become the most rich person on the server. He spent weeks grinding and he quickly got full enchanted netherite gear, a bow, elytras, and tridents. Once he got all of this powerful equipment, he moved to grinding for smaller things. Some of these actions included exploring for gold blocks, spending many hours mining for resources, building a turtle farm for turtle shells, exploring the world for golden apples, and more. Once Dev had achieved this goal, he didn't have a fully fledged plan for a while on the server. He mostly just spent his free time on the server continuing his expeditions to build his wealth more.

When Lucky kept coming to trade with Dev, he grew suspicious of how Lucky was obtaining all of his riches, so he sent Skull Tissue to go and spy on Lucky to see what he was up to. So when Skull Tissue went to spy on Lucky, he discovered that him and Pivotal were making potions. This wouldn't have been so bad if it was for their own use. But Skull Tissue discovered that they were going to trade the potions with the kings in Kinoko Kingdom for iron blocks. Skull Tissue delivered this information back to Dev in Hardcore and Dev put the trade to an end as soon as Lucky came to trade the iron with Dev. He then came up with the plan to reform Hardcore SMP into an empire and annex all other factions and members of the server into Hardcore Empire. This became Dev's biggest motive on the server.

## History

### Early Hardcore SMP Arc

#### Early Hardcore SMP

Dev started the server on December 14, 2020. He started it thinking that Minecraft had a Hardcore mode on Bedrock, but once he found out that it doesn't, he just decided to start the world on the hardest difficulty possible. He is one of the founders when playing the server for the first time along with Skull Tissue. Dev immediately got tons of dark oak wood and built a tower for Dev and Skull Tissue to live early on. That is where they resided for the first few days of the server. But after the first few days, Dev and Skull Tissue branched off to built their own houses, an enchanting room, and a potato farm for xp and food.

For the first month of the server, Dev and Skull Tissue quickly got the best gear they could and plenty of other riches. Dev continued to build other places such as the watch tower and the villager houses in the area which pretty much established the faction Hardcore SMP. Soon, Lucky joined the server and he built his house and got a pet pig. Dev and Lucky grinded withers together to help make the beacons in Hardcore SMP and they even worked to get a nether star for each other.

#### The Jerry Conflict

The Jerry Conflict was the first conflict that Dev got involved in. He didn't get involved until the end of the conflict when he showed up out of nowhere and saved Lucky and Jerry from Pivotal. Dev then forced Pivotal to drop his items into a hole and then he directed Lucky to go and retrieve the items. Then Dev killed Pivotal, taking his canon life and ending the Jerry Conflict then and there.

### American Independence Arc

#### Rise of America

When WeirdApe joined the server, he started a new country independent from Hardcore SMP with Lucky. When Dev saw the country developing, he thought it was a joke. He decided to join in on the joke by building Mexico right outside the border of America. But after a little bit of reconnaissance, Dev discovered that America was a real country in the height of development. With this knowledge, Dev declared war on America on behalf of Hardcore SMP to stop the nation from advancing. He gave them a day to prepare and prepared himself by gathering TNT, planting it underneath America, and lavacasting a wall in front of America all while the members of America were offline.

#### Hardcore SMP vs. America War

Dev was the lone commander of Hardcore SMP during the Hardcore SMP vs. America War. Dev refused to allow America to become an independent nation after all the time he had spent creating Hardcore SMP. As a result, Dev fired upon WeirdApe, Lucky, and Pivotal's Spirit of America from his cobblestone tower. This resulted in a standoff between Hardcore SMP and America with Hardcore SMP as the winner, having killed all the members of America during the standoff. As the soldiers of America were respawning, Dev took this time to uncover a block in America to reveal a block of TNT. When the American soldiers arrived back in America, Dev detonated this block of TNT, which blew up and detonated the other TNT that Dev had laid underneath America, leaving America in ruin. After this, Lucky proposed to give Pivotal's old gear to Dev in exchange for America's independence. Dev agreed to this and put the armor and other gear on display in Lucky's house to remind Lucky on why they had independence.

#### Postwar

After the Hardcore SMP vs. America War had ended and all the members on America's side logged off, Dev patched up the exploded land in America and also took down the lavacasted cobblestone tower in front of America. Dev then began exploring the world for different loot, blocks, and more. He continued building things in Hardcore SMP such as the Pharoah statue in the community house and his personal bee farm. He continued exploring the world throughout the rest of the American Independence Arc.

### Development Arc

Throughout the entirety of the Development Arc, Dev remained neutral from all the other conflicts in the server as well as the creation of New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom. Dev continued his expeditions during the arc and built his wealth even more. He also continued building in Hardcore, one of the most notable buildings being Atlantis' Palace. He built this prison at the request of an anonymous member to put DexDude in the prison. Other than this, he didn't get very involved during this arc.

### Dark Age Arc

#### Disunion Era

During the Disunion Era, some tensions rose between Dev and Lucky. This went as far as Lucky not joining Hardcore SMP for a year and as a result, Dev blew up Lucky's house with the help of Skull Tissue and BananaBoi. After this, the server went inactive for a year. But one day, Pivotal asked Dev if he would like to reunite with Lucky back in Hardcore SMP. Dev agreed to this reunion and had Pivotal invite Lucky back to the server. While he did this, Dev built an arena in Hardcore and got a gift for Lucky.

#### Dev vs. Lucky duel

When Lucky joined back in Hardcore SMP on August 30, 2022, he was joined with his friend Gavin. Pivotal led them to Hardcore SMP and gave Gavin a small tour. Then Pivotal directed Lucky and Gavin to the Hardcore SMP Arena where Dev was located. Lucky and Gavin greeted Dev in the arena and Dev told Lucky that he had a gift for him. But it turned out that the gift Dev had for Lucky was a splash potion of poison, which Dev threw at Lucky and Gavin and began attacking them. After some retaliation, Lucky and Gavin had to flee the duel because they were about to die. But Dev chased after them and shot them with his bow until they were dead. Pivotal was surprised and got mad at Dev for what he had done and attempted to imprison him. After Dev saw this as a joke, he decided to log off the server and didn't return until late April 2023.

#### Imprisonment Era

When Dev returned back to the server after it was mostly inactive for the past year and a half, he joined PolarIce and Pivotal in imprisoning WeirdApe for the crimes he committed. When they went to WeirdApe and attempted to imprison him, WeirdApe refused to go to jail. However Dev threatened New Vegas with his TNT, withers, and lava. This was enough to make WeirdApe comply and Dev, PolarIce, and Pivotal took WeirdApe to prison where he was put in the maximum security prison cell. This event revived the Hardcore SMP and it put an end to the Dark Age Arc.

### Terrorism Arc

#### Atlantis' Palace Jailbreak

Lucky joined back in Hardcore SMP on May 7, 2023 after not logging in since the Dev vs. Lucky duel. He returned simply because WeirdApe asked for his help breaking out of jail. When the prison warden PolarIce was alerted of WeirdApe escaping, he was teleported near the prison through an ender pearl stasis chamber. But when PolarIce arrived at the prison, he saw that Lucky and WeirdApe were already gone. Due to this, he asked for help looking for WeirdApe and Lucky from Dev and Skull Tissue. Dev and Skull Tissue went with PolarIce to search for them. They went to New Vegas first since that is where PolarIce suspected they would go. But after searching New Vegas and turning up with nothing, they went to check Kinoko Kingdom next. After finding nothing in Kinoko Kingdom either, Skull Tissue looked at his map and saw that WeirdApe and Lucky were in the mountains where Pivotal's secret base is located. So that is where they were headed to next. They all searched for a while in the mountains. But since they weren't finding them in the mountains either, PolarIce decided to go back to search Hardcore SMP by himself while Dev and Skull Tissue continued to search for them in the mountains.

As soon as PolarIce showed up to Hardcore SMP, he witnessed Lucky and WeirdApe exiting out of the main nether hub portal. He locked eye contact with WeirdApe, but suddenly the game had a lag spike. After the lag spike ended, PolarIce was killed as WeirdApe had taken the lag spike as an opportunity to kill PolarIce. Dev and Skull Tissue hurriedly returned to Hardcore SMP to try and catch WeirdApe and Lucky in the open. However they still didn't end up catching Lucky and WeirdApe. When PolarIce returned, they all agreed to form an alliance to catch the terrorists and stop them before they could act.

#### Escalation

Over the course of the next few days, The Heroes prepared for an imminent war that they knew was coming. Pivotal logged into the server on May 10, 2023 and after hearing what happened a few days earlier, he decided to join The Heroes and take the role as messenger. On the same day, Pivotal stumbled upon Lucky trespassing in Hardcore SMP while invisible. But instead of attacking Lucky on sight, Pivotal whispered to Lucky to speak with him. When Pivotal and Lucky found a private place to talk, Pivotal asked Lucky why he was siding with The Villains. Lucky said he didn't completely agree with the goals of The Villains and told Pivotal that he would rather join The Heroes and reunite with Dev. So Pivotal brought Lucky to Dev and Lucky said that he wanted to betray The Villains to join The Heroes. Dev reluctantly agreed to this at first, but he quickly became friends with Lucky again.

Since it had been a while that Lucky was out of The Villains' base, WeirdApe decided to go out to Hardcore SMP while invisible to look for Lucky. But when he was discovered by The Heroes, he saw that Lucky was behind Dev and Pivotal. He asked what happened and Lucky said that he joined The Heroes to rebuild his friendship with Dev. WeirdApe was furious but he couldn't stay this way since he was so vulnerable in this moment. Instead of killing or reincarcerating WeirdApe on the sight, Dev instead gave WeirdApe until Saturday to prepare for war that The Heroes declared on The Villains. But before sending WeirdApe off, Dev forced WeirdApe to give him his turtle helmet back that he had stolen on the jailbreak day. Then WeirdApe ran back to The Villains' base and The Heroes and Villains each began preparing for the war.

#### The Heroes vs. The Villains War

The day of the war started off with a bang. Dev, Lucky, and WeirdApe were the first ones on the server and they were getting ready to go to war. But when as soon as DexDude logged into the server, he found that he was trapped by WeirdApe in an obsidian box. He immediately cried for Dev and Lucky's help, fearing for his life. WeirdApe encouraged them to come over to see their hostage, so Dev and Lucky headed straight to the Villains Base to save DexDude.

When Dev and Lucky landed into the Villains Base, they confronted WeirdApe guarding DexDude in the obsidian. Dev then came up with a strategic idea to get DexDude out. He whispered to Lucky to stay hidden in the base while Dev was gonna try to negotiate with WeirdApe. Dev said that he was willing to trade mass sums of money to WeirdApe in exchange for DexDude's release and The Heroes' surrender in the war. Dev then told WeirdApe that they needed to go outside of the base so that he could get Dev's riches. WeirdApe foolishly followed Dev, which allowed for Lucky to break DexDude out of the obsidian shell. When they were out of the base, Dev said that it was an ender chest that he needed to get into, so WeirdApe led him back to the base where he had an ender chest. However when they returned to the Villains Base, they discovered that DexDude was freed from the obsidian box. At this point, WeirdApe lost his leverage and was basically at a standoff. He was forced to give his stuff up to Dev and he was detained by Dev and Lucky. Dev and Lucky then led WeirdApe to Hardcore SMP to wait for PolarIce for the prison transfer. However while they were waiting, DexDude snuck up from behind and killed WeirdApe for holding him hostage. After WeirdApe respawned, PolarIce showed up and took him back to Atlantis' Palace where he spent the rest of his days.

#### Post-Vengeance Era

Right after WeirdApe was reincarcerated, PolarIce, Dev, and Lucky all met up in New Vegas to discuss the creation of The Heroes Pact. Dev was named the Protector of Hardcore SMP, and then him and PolarIce elected Lucky as the new President of New Vegas since WeirdApe had been imprisoned. After a while of being alone in prison after PolarIce got what he wanted from WeirdApe, WeirdApe asked to be let out of Atlantis' Palace to tour the server one last time since he was ready to accept the fact that he was gonna be in prison forever. Reluctantly, PolarIce agreed to let WeirdApe out after asking the opinions of Dev, Skull Tissue, and Lucky. The four of them kept a close eye on WeirdApe as he was revisiting the server one last time. But once the time came for WeirdApe to go back to prison, he couldn't believe it. He was slowly following PolarIce, Lucky, Dev, and Skull Tissue back to Atlantis' Palace when out of nowhere, WeirdApe ran to the ravine in New Vegas and jumped in to his fate. Dev hosted a funeral a few days after WeirdApe's death after hiring Pivotal to build the funeral grounds.

Dev didn't really get involved much in the rest of the Post-Vengeance Era, aside from attempting to get Cinder to live in Hardcore when she joined the server. He did also trade with Lucky when he had valuables to offer on occasion. However after a while, Dev grew suspicious as to how Lucky was obtaining all these valuables to begin with, so he sent Skull Tissue to spy on him. In doing this, Skull Tissue discovered that New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom had set up an illegal drug trade between each other, which was how Lucky was getting so many valuables. With this information, Skull Tissue reported this back to Dev and so they decided to wait for Lucky to come and offer to trade with Dev. So when Lucky showed up, Dev made him come clean. He admitted that he was indeed trading drugs to Kinoko Kingdom for riches that he was going around and selling to Dev. Dev didn't like this and immediately put an end to the drug trade between the two countries. He also sent Lucky away from Hardcore SMP for a little while. Over the next few weeks, he started thinking of a devious plan that would change the server forever.

### Imperialism Arc

#### Dev's plan

The plan that Dev had created over the last few weeks of the Post-Vengeance Era involved him officially becoming the leader of Hardcore SMP. With this, he reformed Hardcore SMP into an empire, renaming it Hardcore Empire and prompting himself as the emperor. He made Skull Tissue his right-hand man and gave his role of Protector of Hardcore SMP to Aidan. He then wanted to expand Hardcore Empire by annexing New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom. So when him and Skull Tissue went to annex New Vegas, Lucky gave it up because he didn't want to lose everything after Dev had threatened New Vegas. But when they went to annex Kinoko Kingdom, PolarIce and DexDude denied Dev access to the country. This almost caused a fight to break out between Hardcore Empire and Kinoko Kingdom if it weren't for Pivotal stepping in between Dev and Skull Tissue and the kings. He told Dev and Skull Tissue that if they wanted to fight the kings, they would have to get through him first. So Dev and Skull Tissue backed down and they left Kinoko Kingdom unsatisfied.

#### DexDude's speech

After a few weeks of minor tension between Hardcore Empire and Kinoko Kingdom, DexDude couldn't take the tensions anymore and decided to invite the members of Hardcore Empire to Kinoko Kingdom. Here, he asked them if they wanted to make amends by peacefully attending a speech that DexDude was planning to have. The members of Hardcore Empire agreed to come to DexDude's speech and coexist peacefully again. On the next day, DexDude held his speech with Dev, Lucky, and Fundy in the audience and Skull Tissue in a window in the Kinoko Kingdom dojo. He was hiding in this window because Dev made a secret plan that required Skull Tissue to hide in this window. As DexDude was progressing in the speech, Skull Tissue eventually pulled out his bow and shot DexDude to death. It was at that moment that Dev revealed to PolarIce and DexDude that he was not going to allow another faction other than Hardcore Empire to exist and that he still wanted Kinoko Kingdom. But when PolarIce and DexDude still refused to give Kinoko Kingdom up, Dev declared war on them and then the members of Hardcore Empire all fled the dojo after Dev detonated a block of TNT.

#### The War for Kinoko Kingdom

When Hardcore Empire and Kinoko Kingdom were officially at war, Dev never even prepared for war. But fortunately, Lucky and Fundy had prepared potions for the war. So on July 25, 2023 after gathering all of their resources, the belligerents for Hardcore Empire all headed straight to Kinoko Kingdom without warning. They broke through the wall around Kinoko Kingdom and were greeted by PolarIce charging at Dev and attacking him. Lucky jumped to his guard and began attacking PolarIce until he died. After PolarIce was dealt with, Lucky and Skull Tissue searched Kinoko Kingdom for Pivotal. They found Pivotal in his house and he repeatedly shot at Lucky and Skull Tissue to get them out of his house. But eventually, Lucky charged through Pivotal's rain of fire and almost killed him too if it weren't for Pivotal's totem of undying. Dev then recalled Lucky and sent him after DexDude and Lucky killed him next. This caused Kinoko Kingdom to surrender both in war and the kingdom itself. Dev then claimed Kinoko Kingdom for Hardcore Empire and him, Skull Tissue, and Lucky quickly locked DexDude in prison. When they returned to Kinoko Kingdom, Dev forced PolarIce and Pivotal to log off the server while the members of Hardcore Empire began marking their territory in Kinoko.

### Aftermath & DexDude's execution

After the War for Kinoko Kingdom ended, Dev moved his extra stuff into a house in Kinoko Kingdom and claimed it as his second house on the server. He then created a sheep farm for wool to use to create banners of the Hardcore Empire flag, which he planted all throughout the server. One day, Dev allowed Pivotal to visit DexDude when he was in the prison. But since they had a secret conversation all through whispering, Dev didn't trust Pivotal anymore so he kicked Pivotal out of the prison and told him that he wasn't allowed to visit DexDude again unless if Dev gave him permission. However Pivotal quickly tried to get back in the maximum security prison cell when Lucky, Fundy, and BananaBoi visited DexDude. This set the stage for DexDude's execution which Dev planned to use to teach Pivotal a lesson. He took this further by imprisoning PolarIce as well. Right after DexDude was dropped into the lava, Pivotal shot Fundy to death and ran away safely. After Pivotal got away, Dev began thinking of what to do to catch Pivotal.

### The Liberators

While Dev was on vacation, Pivotal broke PolarIce out of Atlantis' Palace and revived WeirdApe to form The Liberators. Dev returned back to Hardcore Empire to try and find them, but instead he was met with a book written by The Liberators. The book stated that The Liberators did not mean any harm and simply wanted to talk to the members of Hardcore Empire to improve the server. Dev found this suspicious but ended up not investigating into it. It wasn't until August 29, 2023 that The Liberators all barged into Dev's house to kill him. But since Dev was one person against nine others, he had no choice but to surrender. However Dev pleaded for life by telling The Liberators that he has a time machine that can only be activated with Dev's own words. The Liberators saw the time machine for themselves and saw that it was real, so they simply put Dev on house arrest instead of killing him. This meant that Dev was no longer the emperor of Hardcore Empire.
