Big man with a deep voice

Apersu is one of Purity's largest content creators. He is known for his satirical and backhanded interviews with well-known players, and high production value larping. Despite joining Purity Vanilla in March of 2021, his newfaggotry is typically overlooked per his voice, which is roughly a combination of FitMC's and Swaggersouls'. His videos are available at this link.

## Apersu's start

In early March, Apersu came down with a cold that left him out of work for a week. With nothing to do, he searched Google for some Minecraft servers that would help him pass the time, not planning on continuing playing after his break. Out of all the servers he joined, he felt most drawn to Purity Vanilla and decided to stick around. After joining on March 15th, 2021, Apersu made his way via open Nether (not realizing there was a Nether highway due to newfaggotry) to around 30k, 30k. There he set up a small base where he began to familiarize himself with the culture of the server and gather materials. Around a week in, he needed transportable storage, so he contacted MSItachi about a potential shulker trade. After a successful transaction, Itachi offered the lost and stumbling newfag a place in his new griefing-and-building faction called Morningstar. Although the faction was infamous for its large ego and large newfag count, Apersu quickly became an integral member of the faction and the outside community. After a couple months, Morningstar disbanded due to in-fighting, and Apersu set out on his own as one of the only good things to have come out of the whole disaster.

## Beginning on content creation / YouTube

Around a month into his run with Morningstar, Apersu acknowledged the faction's poor reputation, and suggested creating high quality YouTube content to leaven Purity's distaste towards them. The faction leader MSLucifer thought it was a great idea, and the two started the official Morningstar YouTube channel. A week later, Apersu wrote and uploaded the video The Philosophy of Purity Vanilla. The video was surprisingly well received, and set him down his current path on the server. After Morningstar disbanded, with MSLucifer's blessings, Apersu revamped the Morningstar channel into his own personal channel.

After the success of his first couple videos, Apersu wanted to create something different to his continual video essay style. He realized there was an enormous untapped market in talking with, and sometimes verbally abusing, fellow Purity players. Wanting to start off big, Apersu contacted Kavlar, Purity's most infamous shit-talker, and after some masterful persuasion and $70, Kavlar agreed to speak with him in voice chat, thus birthing his first interview The Kavlar Interview. This video performed well, and instigated a new brand of interview-style content where he combines inquisitive journalism with sarcasm. To quote the regal RobertDonald, "I just can't understand why anyone would agree to one of your interviews". Apersu made two more interviews - with players TheIrishLion and DangerMario. Then, in his next video (A Critique of Purity Vanilla) he complained about the ban system on Purity.

Chadlets noticed this new youtuber and invited him to their base - Fucklers Creek - for a documentary on a self-grief. Apersu gained even more popularity, when Sasori\_mk offered a collaboration in organizing the Netherite Beacon Hunt. Not too long after, on 10th August 2021, Apersu was announced and a new member of the Chadlets.

## The prank

His next video, "Top 10 Rarest Items on Purity Vanilla", released on 24th August 2021, is to this day the most successful (of the videos that he posted on his own channel) and probably took the most time to make. Apersu made a detailed overview of all types of items that could be considered "special" on Purity: this included Purity Elytra and Purity Trident, that at the time could still be obtained as vote rewards, and player heads, that were very valuable due to the head plugin being turned off for over 10 months. Apersu also mentioned that himself and MSLucifer were granted special player heads from Penguin, as a reward for making the Purity Vanilla trailer.

He didn't know...

The very next day Penguin announced in Purity's discord that PlayerHeads plugin was re-enabled. Two days later he also announced that all item voting rewards, including the Purity Elytra and Purity Trident, are no longer obtainable. Apersu released a "post-scriptum" video, titled "Curb Your Purity Vanilla", addressing these two things in a satirical way.

## Final videos

After releasing a trailer for Purity Content Hub and a collab basehunting video with Thesto, Apersu would make his final interview with infamous hacker, Frrost\_bite. Then, on 21st Nov 2021, he made his "final vid" and said goodbye to Purity. However he was resurrected once again by Chadlets - almost a year later - for one more documentary video on another of their bases, the Ringed City, which was recently griefed by Pumpkin Legion. At the end of that video, to everyone's surprise, Apersu showed coords to main Pumpkin base, which then Chadlets proceeded to grief as a revenge. His *actual* final video was a slander on Purity players, released on 19th Nov 2022.
