### Purpose

Monitoring the Lore

The Hivemind is the Psychic union of Josh, Thomas and Trevor established after the Valley of the End incident.

## History

The Hivemind was formed at the tail end of the Earth-Spanning War between Josh the Leader of the Hero guild, Thomas the Bird Emperor, and Trevor the Lich King. Following a Space-Time Pulse that emanated from the Valley of the End the three became psychically linked together. This union brought an end to the formal war and saw the group loosely align with each other to govern the post-war world.

## Members

* **Josh:** The Leader of the Hero Guild and representative of the Nation of Free States.
* **Thomas:** The Bird Emperor, Ruler of the Northern Bird Empire
* **Trevor:** The Lich King and Dark Lord of Wrath

### Associated Entities

Many sub-organizations and entities while not members of the Hivemind still serve its motives and follow orders from its members

* **Xanthous Guard:** The Military Arm of the Hivemind, made up of conscripted soldiers and powerful entities kidnapped from the Katawa-Doki Universe after being raised by Trevor and Thomas. This group includes Hanako Ikezawa who was the leader of the guard until her defection.
* **Yamaku Academy:** Yamaku is an academy founded by Trevor and Thomas to scout potential members of the Xanthous Guard. It outwardly functions as a school for the physically impaired. Its administration is largely handled by Dirty Lyle
* **Anor Londo Board of Tourism:** The Board is an organization usurped by Thomas and Trevor for the sake of propaganda in the Dark Souls Universe.
* **The Parb Family:** The larger family to which many core members belong
* **Sweden:** The once sovereign nation of Sweden is a Plaything of the members. It is a highly militarized zone whose purpose is to be a training ground mainly for Trevor and the Xanthous Guard. Every time it is conquered and destroyed, a new more militant puppet-government is established to rebuild it and prepare for the next attack.

### Former Members

* **Anthony:** Anthony briefly joined the Hivemind as a non-psychic bound member due to his participation in the War against Trevor. He ultimately betrayed the Hivemind to follow his own goals.

## Balance of Power

The Hivemind is build on a principle of balance between the three members. While this was a stated goal, in practice the organization is weighted against Trevor as the other two members actively oppose him on his main goals. While the group rarely acts as a complete trio, except against Anthony, the group does often break up into pairs.

Thomas and Trevor often collaborate on secret projects, including Yamaku Academy and the Anor Londo Board of Tourism.

Josh and Thomas most often work together, primarily in inhibiting Trevor's plans for World Destruction.

Trevor and Josh primarily engage is mundane sports activities where they face off against That Cheating Bitch: Debbie.

## Enemies

### Smiffy

Smiffy is the sworn enemy of the Anor Londo Board of Tourism and of Trevor and Thomas specifically.

### Monika

The eldritch goddess, Monika is a threat to the known Multiverse and is under the constant watch of the Hivemind.

### Anthony

While a former member, Anthony, upon becoming the High Queen of Feminism has made himself a force to oppose the Hivemind and has since been branded a wanted traitor.

## Termination

The Hivemind ceased to exist during the Second Scratch when the Valley of the End was undone and Thomas-Prime was released.

## Trivia

* Marissa has attempted to join the Hivemind on multiple occasions. The Hivemind is unsure as to why she would want to do this, however Trevor has attempted to allow her in, attempting to use her as a political pawn in the organization
* While Merry is technically an aspect of Trevor, she is so diametrically opposed to Trevor, that she is unable to psychically link to the Hivemind at this time.
