# About Doorknob

### **Description**

A sleazy, lazy, and rather plump Emperor who loves bamboo and isn't the smartest bulb in the bunch.

### **Childhood**

Doorknob was named Doorknob because when he was born his father said he was as dead as a Doorknob. He admitted he meant to say Doorknail, but the name stuck and he kept it. Over the years, Doorknob was called sleazy, lazy, and many other things that he rather not share.

Often teased, but sort of drowned it out because he was too busy eating to pay attention to the world around him. Caring mother, laid-back father. Often told what to do by his father, which he did not approve.

### **Adulthood**

Doorknob earned his way up the ranks as a soldier to eventually an Emperor. Even with his laziness he managed to surpass many others and, in the end, prevail. As an Emperor, he is pretty caring of his people and knows what to do. He can deal with pretty much any situation in his way without batting an eye.

Eventually, Doorknob said the wrong words and got the kingdom of MMMMMMMMM and The Duchy of Skinks to target him. Right before the events of this, he had created an alliance known as Artollo between Pandamonium and the Amethyst Realm. He had known about his inevitable demise, as he had Monkey soldiers surrounding his kingdom. He heroically made the choice to call off the alliance so he would not put the Amethyst Realm in danger.

However, everything changed for Doorknob one day. One day he had decided to explore the Cat Kingdom, as he was seeking to fight the most skilled warriors in all of Beastriar. He had confronted and challenged Catnip, arguably the most fearsome warrior in Beastriar. After he had lost the battle, he humbly walked away before he was challenged by a Kit.

This kit was very special, it had some sort of disease. Doorknob knew of this and did not underestimate the creature and battled it. He was immediately decimated in one hit, and had become something known as "A Plagued". Doorknob had become a different being, and had changed completely.

Something changed in Doorknob that day, he had been what he called "Blessed" from the plague and had seen why he was put on this earth. Doorknob had a new quest: End the World. To avoid distractions, Doorknob burnt his kingdom to ash. What he had worked his entire life for had been turned to mere sparks of light, the aftermath of a flame.

From then on, Doorknob became a loyal follower and the first follower of Sami, Lord of the Plagued. Even as a plagued, Doorknob had kept his likings to Bamboo and Crackers. However, he had lost all memory of what he was like before he was plagued. But this was no matter to Doorknob, as he had to focus on his goal.

For Doorknob's entire life, he had seeked answers as to why he was put in Beastriar. Unlike others, he had not seen the plague as a curse, but he had looked at it as the cure. Doorknob used to like many things about the world, but now it seemed the only things he loved were knife polish and Bamboo. Doorknob had finally found what he called meaning.

Doorknob wasn't the most feared fighter as a plagued, but he was still loyal and made massive improvements over his past self's performance. By this point in time, a few more major members were recruited to the plague, including the leader of MMMMMM, Noobmaster.

Eventually, Doorknob somewhat reverted back to his original act of a kind Panda. Upon gaining the ability to teleport from a magic rune given to him by Alex of the Amethyst Realm. He had betrayed Alex and attempted to destroy all of Alex's books and runes later on. The only real friends Doorknob has actually made are his mouse, Munchie, and his Hare, Morbius.

Doorknob has been in quite some predicaments as a plagued. From getting tricked by fake girl scouts to being inhaled by an orange. Even so, he has always remained loyal and friendly to most. And that is all time will tell for now.
