**Hermit** is a recurring and currently active character in the Manacraft-SMP. Hermit is 36 and has currently been in the overworld for over 10 years.

## History

Hermit was never one to have luck. A child born from war, he was half magmacin and half blaze. Two kinds that hated one another, he was a sign of peace between the two. That was until. When he was two and the small remainder of known magmacin were wiped out. No one knew how. Some came to where they all once lived and all there was left was Hermit. Alone amongst the horrid massacre. He was sent to live with his fathers family, which happened to be a well known mafia family in the crimson forest region. He was the outsider. Considering the poor child's past some even viewed them as a curse. He was easy to blame for all the faults the family had. The only one who ever seemed to be kind to him was his uncle, Morey. He took on a lot from Morey, a thirst for adventure, a sarcastic attitude but with no ill will and a curiosity for what layed beyond the nether. They were both outcasts from the family. And both of them wished for nothing more than to make their family proud… As Hermit got older the less needed he became to the others, and eventually he was seen as nothing but a thorn to the family's side. So at the age of 26 he was sent away as what was claimed to simply start a business in the overworld but what was really just them getting rid of what they saw as garbage. But to Hermit, this was his new start! This was his opportunity to make the people he cared about proud. This is the start of his story in Manacraft. At the very start Hermit meets Silbon who gives him a tour of the land and helps him get settled in at a quaint little shop in Sun City. As he learned more about the past of both Silbon and the land around them, Hermit had truly started to feel like he had gotten a home. Although it was also around this time where Hermit started to face strange difficulties in his day to day life.

He started to forget things and he had also begun to see things that no one else could. It was also around this time where Silbon got infected by a parasite, which Hermit had to witness first hand… This is when Hermit's frequent nightmares began and his massive paranoia. He felt as though there wasn't a single moment the parasite, Norman ,wasn't watching him and not a single moment he didn't blame himself for what had happened to Silbon. This is when Hermit started seeing a physiatrist, that'd be it against his will. He didn't communicate much with him but he was diagnosed with PTSD and this is also when Hermit lost his first life, due to him jumping off the physiatrist office to prove a point. Skipping forward a bit in time, Hermit has adopted three kids, his memory is seeming to get worse but overall his life is going in a better direction again, he's also going into his 30’s at this point. Hermit and Silbon go into a desert and build a pyramid, Hermit declares this his new nation “The great nation of Gayza!”. Silbon then decides to make his own nation as well, far away to the mountains in the north. After working on Hermits nation for a good bit they go on a great journey to discover where to build. Once they do they spend a long time there, a couple months perhaps. Yet when they returned to sun city someone had destroyed it. They had torn down houses, killed Hermit's pets and robbed his home. This was also when Silbon took his third life. Right in front of him.

Silbon's death was a down point for Hermit. As time went on the days only got worse and existing became more and more unbearable. But when Silbon lost his fourth life and didn't seem to care at all. That was the final straw for Hermit and he decided to leave. So he chopped off his own leg, faked his death and ran away. He’s moved out in the mountains and he started to grow rather curious of souls, specifically how they worked.
So he started researching intensely about the functionality of souls but couldn't seem to get the right footing. That was until he met a talking soul lantern who offered him a deal, "info for info" as they had put it. In a slight desperation yet even more from curiosity Hermit agrees. Hermit gives the lantern the name "Hubert" and they start working together. A couple of weeks later Hermit is greeted by a figure who who Hermit calls Alfred who seems to want to become friends with him. And begrudgingly Hermit allows Alfred to stay with him and they become roommates. Months go by and the trio grow close with one another and to a point where Hubert gives secondary offer; "If you help me, then I'll help you" And Hermit accepts. This then causes Hermit to get a parasite infection who turns out to be Hubert.

Hermit is nervous about this at first, but grows calmer about it as he learns more about both Hue and himself. Hubert teaches Hermit about the powers he didn't know he even had and Hermit teaches Hubert about the world it had missed out on for so long. And over time they began to grow more intimate, to the point where they started to gain feelings for one another. Hue was more forward about his feelings then Hermit and this did eventually lead to them starting to date one another. Not long after that is when Hermit, on one of his exploration discovered three strange books that seems to posses magical teachings yet in an ancient language. And Hermit, out of mostly curiosity, began to immensely study these books and learn the language.

And then one day when he was in sun city he stumbled across a harpy girl who seemed to also know about the magical books he was studying and even seemed to have their own. The harpy girl introduced herself as Snow and then later introduced him to two of her friends; Irém and Avalyn. And to mostly Hermits surprise, he grew rather close with the three of them. Even starting to somewhat see them as his children. Hermit now lives alongside all his close ones in the lush cave and is rather happy with his life as it currently stands.

## Appearance

Season 2 debut: Hermits was 26 years old and about 6'10 when he first joined the server. His hair is made of a bright orange fire and his skin a type of magma that differs in heat depending on his mood. His hair also changes based on his mood. His face and body are speckled with freckles and he has small scars around his right eye, he can't seem to recall how he got it. He also has pure white eyes. Hermit wears his fathers old brown trench coat with a tight white sleeveless turtleneck underneath. He wears black pants with black dressing shoes. He is also quite chubby. (slay)

Hermits appearance remains rather similar for the rest of the season with the only differences being his coat seems to get more ripped and worn out.

Season 3: A bit later on around when he claimed the Nation of Gayza he changed his outfit to a more professional look. Instead barring a white button up with suspenders that represented the trans flag. He also got golden earrings and other golden jewelry.

Around the discovery of Coles Hermit started wearing his "vacation fit", which consisted of a floral blue short sleeve button up shirt and sunglasses. When they return to The Capital who reverts back to his Gayza outfit. Quickly after however Hermit changes from his suspenders to his fathers trench coat again and has it on his shoulders, the rest of his outfit remains the same. This is also around when Hermit gets scars around his mouth due to both bar fights and drinking poison. He lost one of his teeth from a bar fight and got two tiny scars from it aswell; one on his nose and one on his left cheek. He quickly got a gold fang as a replacement. This is also the point where he lost a lot of weight very quickly, thus gaining stretch marks.

Season 4: At this point Hermit has ran off to the mountains. He wears a purple short sleeve button up with a lab coat. He wears dark grey pants with a gold chain attached to them which holds up his soul lantern. He also has a homemade prosthetic leg (Right leg) that works somewhat properly. The scar on his eye seems to also have gotten bigger. He also seemed to have gotten irises that were a cool grey color.

When Hermit became infected with the parasite it made the turn the right side of his body a much darker, almost pitch black, shade and caused his right eyes sclera to become blue with a yellow iris. and his other eye became blue. Around this time he stopped wearing his lab coat and stopped carrying around the lantern. Although this is when Hermit got back to a healthy eating habit and started to gain more weight again. And due to the infection his fire hair also turned blue.

Hermit currently is about 7'1 and wears a short sleeve stained shirt with the words "My PTSD is Chronic, but this ass is iconic", he wears 2 trench coats over it, one brown and the other black. He wears tight black pants with grey shoes. His prosthetic leg functions similar to that of a peg leg. Hermit wears bandages along his arms to cover scars and only feels comfortable taking them off infront of people he trusts. He wears bandages from his knuckles to his palms because of problems he has with clenching his fists too hard. The scar on Hermits eye has grown much bigger now reaching to the left side of his face. He also has an incredibly large scar going from his cheek to his neck to his right arm, which he gained from and attack from BDO due to him freightening them. Hermit also has a beer belly. (:D)

## Behavior

Hermit is a man who has been through many triumphs. He has a hard time letting new people fully intergrate into his life and and even harder time trusting them fully. Despite this he shares his goofy and caring nature to those he cares for and is often seen as someone who isnt afraid to speak his mind, often speaking without thinking before hand.. He is both literaly and figuretivly a hothead and not to mention a prolifent swearer.

Hermit believes actions speaks louder than words and often has a hard time taking people at face value. He is a strong believer in earning trust and respect, its not something he feels can just be given to someone.

* Hermit has the ability to see visions and sights of the future or information that he is unaware of (Somewhat like foresight). He doesn't have control over this power and it is mostly caused unwillingly and/or by accident
* Hermit can hear souls (Somewhat like the dead). The strength and what he hears varies depending on where its coming from, for example soul sand is incredibly loud to him. Hubert is able to quiet down the noise for Hermit as he cannot control it himself.
