The Heat

* Adult
* Late Teens
* Young

**The Heat** was a member and a former Agent of the Ink Tank's Discord server. He was a Pyrodeinite, and also the very concept of heat in the multiverse. But his origin story is ever-changing. He was arguably the most active member the server ever had. He was one of the most respectable, well known and well-mannered members of the server. He was also a major advocate of Rook Blonko.

## Appearance

In human form, The Heat used to be/was still an unnamed human who was rather skinny and 6 feet tall. He might have been brown-skinned, had smooth black hair, wore glasses and had a short beard.

In Pyronite form, The Heat was a plasma-based life-form, whose inner plasma body was covered by extremly durable dark red rocks. He was a tall, well-built Pyronite chad, similar to Heatblast. He had broad shoulders with volcanoes and was broad chested and tall, standing over 6 and a half feet. His head emitted bright flames and he had three toes on his feet, two at the front and one at the back.

### Other Appearances

In his ultimate form made by Scyro, The Heat looks similar to a blue-coloured cow with rocks all over his body and also has a beard.

When he was edgy/emo, he looked mostly similar, except his colour scheme was inverted.

When he was younger, he was shorter, less muscular and his rocks were more orangish.

For a day, The Heat wore an Australian hat, which he obtained from the former hat dealer, Yang.

Another day, while he was pretending to be Kenny's twin, he had an image of adult Kenny from his headcanon as his profile photo. The image was an edited shot of Ben 10K, with his moustache and white sideburns edited out, and a slightly darker skin tone.

In an old photo found by RedManta/The Ghost, The Heat is found at a relatively younger age sporting his swag attire, composed of shades, a DaBaby cap and a golden chain with a dollar sign in it.

## Personality

The Heat was mostly chill and laid-back. He got along with most people and was (mostly) righteous, though he could be very jocular at times. He always tried to help wherever and whenever he could. He was faithful to the Obama Cult.

He was one of the more mature members of the server. Though he was mostly jovial, a few moments activated his no-nonsense attitude, showing that he could be serious if and whenever required.

The Heat was extremely composed. He absolutely refused to use any foul language, the worst word he had ever said during his time on the server being "damn". Many people tried to bribe or trick him into saying something foul; all of them failed. He also kept horniness and shitposting to a bare minimum.**\***

Most people on the server liked and respected him. Several people rated The Heat quite low on the annoying scale, saying he was generally nice and has almost never been annoying.

He had become slightly more strict when he became a mod, and was told to lighten up. Much later, in the days following him stepping down from mod, during his final month on the server, The Heat similarly became less fun-loving and more serious, exemplified in a reduction of emote usage and things like that. He realized this is not how he wanted to act during his final days and reverted back to his usual personality.

## History

### Pre-Discord

Formerly human, now Pyronite. Living life on Pyros. That's all you need to know.

### Discord

#### 2020

The Heat joined The Tank Discord server on 3rd May 2020, 2 days after the release of Chapter 9 of the webcomic 5 Years Later. Initially, he joined the server to talk about 5YL and Ben 10. He reached Fizzy Gang by 8th May 2020, VIP by 23rd June 2020 and Tank Army on 8th October 2020. During his time on this server, he met and befriended several people and formed alliances.

In his earlier days, he would mostly be in the Ben 10 channel or 5 Years Later channel. He later became famous (or rather infamous) for gaining XP quickly by being very active. He has been muted twice: once for spamming (he claims it was unintentional) back when he was still Fizzy Gang and once due to a misunderstanding, as he was trying to alert a mod of a user who broke a rule but due to unavoidable circumstances, things happened and he was muted. He was unmuted in a short while as the matter was resolved by the Security team.

The Heat tended to love and/or support things in the Ben 10 channel that most other people dislike or hate. He would get into mostly civil discussions about these. He would also discuss about his favourite Ben 10 alien, Heatblast, quite often. He made most of his Discord friends during this time, particularly Kenny, who would talk a lot. There was a point where Kenny had the most messages in Ben 10 channel, before The Heat surpassed him.

It was not until he was close to reaching VIP that The Heat stepped out and starting talking more often in other channels. He interacted with more people and made more friends. Up until recently, could be seen talking in General and VIP regularly, also in Selfies and Personal Fun and The Barracks Obama. Though he joined much later than most of his peers, he was quickly surpassing them all by being more active. The Heat's streak of activity started ever since he reached VIP; the ultimate fruit of his labour being his position as no. 1 on The Tank's XP Leaderboard.

The Heat was featured in Staw's Endgame edit as the character "Wong". He was offered a chance to join the 5YL Wiki Development team by Levi Church, but he declined for several reasons. During the The Great Tank War of 2020-21, Staw offered him to join The Resistance, a group that was against the armies of respective Ink Tank members. The Heat accepted the offer and joined The Resistance. Lately, a few people have been suggesting that The Heat would be a good mod, but he is slightly hesitant about this. He does tend to mini-mod often. After this wiki was made by Staw, he appointed The Heat as the first content moderator on 29th December 2020.

The Heat started off slowly, in terms of XP. After getting to around Level 20, there was no stopping him, as he racked up levels swiftly. He surpassed several people. During this period, only two members ever managed to surpass him, and right now, both of them are ranked below him. There is no member who joined after him and is ahead on the Leaderboard. The six members ahead of him, all of them joined a long time before The Heat.

#### 2021

One day, The Heat was involved in a conversation where M.A used Inspect Element to fabricate proof to prove that EDT chat exists. The conversation was fairly long and The Heat used his deductive and observative skills to expose M.A twice. He regards this as one of his favourite conversations on the server.

More than 3 of The Heat's messages have been pinned on the server. Fro made a command for him, which has The Heat saying "Poggers". Two days later, after Staw came up with the idea of collab commands, Fro made an image made by The Heat and Vantime into a command, named "!repost". There are two Heatblast emotes, both of them were suggested by him. He has been featured in Wall of Fame once, in the Yearbook 2020.

The Heat was seen talking with Lenny, and sometimes NightShadow, about Cricket. The Heat often used Ben 10 images and gifs during conversations, especially gifs that include Heatblast.

Staw promoted The Heat to administrator of the wiki on 16th January 2021.

The Great Tank War was seemingly resolved in late January, with people claiming that The Heat was so peaceful and based that they had to cancel the war. The Heat was declared a peace symbol. Several members proceeded to pretend to be The Heat and formed a temporary cult dedicated to him, while The Heat was offline for the most part.

Around the same time, The Heat expressed his wish to stay away from the Ben 10 channel, citing the fact that he had been in the channel the longest and had seen several conversations that made him feel angry or sad and has lost his tolerance for such topics and posts, and wished to stay away from the channel for a while. Since that point, He would visit the channel once or twice a day for about 5 minutes. He eventually returned to talking frequently in the channel.

The Heat got nitro on 8 February 2021, after The Heat asked Staw if he would be dropping a nitro gift, prompting Chicken to drop one, which The Heat immediately accepted. Later, he got nitro after Staw dropped a gift on 3 March 2021.

On 18 February 2021, The Heat was made a Bouncer (mod-in-training). Several members congratulated him for this. He performed his first 2 mutes and first 2 bans within hours of getting promoted. He was promoted to Security on 25 February 2021. At the time, he was the youngest present mod of the server. In the meantime, he got another command made with the help of Staw and Fro, known as "!heatmod", which is a gif of Heatblast shooting fire with the caption "POV: You are about to be banned by The Heat". One day, after Kuro went offline for a while, the members of the server held a poll for who would be the next best leader of the server, and for some reason, they included The Heat with other members of the Ink Tank, and he got the most votes.

The Heat achieved the EDT role on 20 March 2021, the seventh member to do so. He reached level 75 in 10 months and 16 days, the second fastest (Cola being the fastest). From 31 March to 2 April, The Heat, along with other Security members, was given a pseudo-Ink Tank role for April Fools'. On 26 April, The Heat banned 9 accounts on the same day. It was a rather busy day. The next day, he banned another member, making it such that he banned 10 accounts within 30 hours, jokingly taking the title of "Ban 10" for a short time.

The Heat's first server joining anniversary was on 3 May 2021. Several people gave their well wishes. The server was named "The Furnace" for a short while. On 7 May 2021, Staw promoted The Heat to bureaucrat on this wiki. During The Star Tank Wars, The Heat remained neutral but would often visit both sides' channels. For the final battle, he helped out with miscellaneous things. On 25 May 2021, the Bug Jar channel was revived as part of an addition of 3 new channels to the server. The Heat had a major part to play in its revival.

Starting on June 2021, The Heat was the co-judge of Staw's Meme of the Month contest. On 8 June 2021, several bot accounts were joining the server. All the mods needed to ban them until another bot was created to do it for them. Until then, The Heat banned the most bots, banning 23 of them. He jokingly claimed to be "Ban 23", a parody on Ben 23.

On 16 June, Kuro uploaded a video about a Ben 10 iceberg on the Ink Tank's channel. Several mods had helped with making the video, The Heat being one of them. He received the Guest List role for it. He is very happy to have helped in making a video for the Ink Tank.

On 28 June, The Heat surpassed M.A and achieved rank #2 on the server's XP leaderboard. A few hours later, M.A took back his second position, but The Heat eventually passed him once again in a matter of hours. Since then, The Heat and M.A have been in a constant tussle for the no. 2 spot. The tussle ended on 4 July, when The Heat took the no. 2 spot and has remained there ever since. M.A gave him a run for his money.

On 10 July, The Heat and Staw switched profile pics and usernames for fun. They stayed like this for about 3 hours and managed to trick a few people. The Heat had also made a racing bar graph to depict the xp gaining of the top ranked members. He made it to start from May 2018 and ended it at August 2021.

On 28 August, Scyro surpassed The Heat for most messages in the Ben 10 channel. The rivalry had been going on for a few days, and it was particularly intense for an hour on that day. After Scyro took the lead, The Heat sang the first part of PewDiePie's "Congratulations" for him.

In October, The Heat adopted Scyro and Beta and they became his sons. Later, Beta did not want to be a part of the family spaghetti and then Cat was adopted. On 11 October, The Heat changed his profile picture to an edited version of Ben 10,000's Heatblast with the Omniverse rock colour scheme, which was made by Normal Person at The Heat's request. On 29 October, The Heat had his Security role removed and spent 3 hours as a regular EDT member by his choice.

On 15 November 2021, The Heat reached level 100 and acquired the Celestial Guide role, just the second member to do so. His level up message were his 5 favourite entities from Ben 10, and on popular demand, the message of MEE6 mentioning The Heat's level up was pinned in the VIP channel. On 24 November, on The Heat's request, Fro created a custom command for him, "!heatsays", that shows one of 5 images of The Heat's frequently used words (see Trivia point 9). On 27 November, The Heat reached 2 million xp.

On 27 December, it was The Heat's 19th birthday. Several people wished him a happy birthday. Kuro also wished him during the Ben 10 anniversary livestream.

#### 2022

In January, The Heat adopted Cat as his daughter on her and Scyro's requests. On 4th of January, The Heat surpassed Cola and became the top ranked member on the XP leaderboard. The server was named "The Heat Tank" for a week in his honour. On 26th January, he got the custom role "Most Active Mod". At the end of January, The Heat unadopted Scyro and Cat.

In February, The Heat completed 100,000 messages in the Ben 10 channel. On 18 February, which was also the one year anniversary of The Heat's promotion to mod, he stepped down from the position. He was given the Heatposter role to replace his "Most Active Mod" role, and a channel was created to honour his time as mod on the server, named "the-heat-mournposting".

He became much less active after that, and in March, he revealed that he would be leaving the server in a while as more important things in life had come up. This would lead to many discussions and people wishing him well. In his final days, many people gave him gifts including art or memes. Hellbent gifted The Heat the Ban Hammer Master role. Kuro did a drawing stream dedicated to The Heat where he drew Heatblast 10,000 for The Heat. Several people sent in their well wishes and goodbyes. The Heat said he was tearing up and was getting overloaded by all the love, support and good wishes.

The Heat left The Tank on May 3rd 2022, on his second server anniversary, amid lots of love.

## Legacy

The collective impact The Heat had made upon the Ink Tank Server during his two years could never be understated. He touched so many member's hearts, never fully realizing just how much his positive influence extended. Not even all the tributes that were made during his final days could convey how much he meant to each and everyone who got to meet him during those two years. Months after his departure, it's still not uncommon to see a member, be they new or old, low XP-er or mod, to say they miss him. There is no question that he will be remembered for the rest of the server's lifetime.

As of the time of writing, June 15 2022, he is still no. 1 on The Tank's XP leaderboard, and he is expected to stay within the top 10 for months, even years, to come. This page will remain admin-edit only, so as to protect his legacy from vandalism.
