Sojourner

**Sojourner**, also called **Entity 303** (especially in reference to his state prior to December 2015), as well as **EntityInsentient** in server logs, is a codeling most famous for being encountered by victorfran317 on December 10th, 2013, but also supposedly existent as far back as February 2009, and is the main protagonist of the Sulfur Network storyline.

Prior to contact with the Sulfur Network in 2019, he was often referred to as "the new Herobrine" in videos.

## Name

Sojourner's preferred name is "Sojourner", though his username varies over time, it usually contains 'Sojourner' in it. As of June 2023, his username is "SojournerHas303ComplaintsAboutChatReporting". Prior to December 2015, the keyword '303' was more common than 'Sojourner', prompting the fan names "Player 303", "303", and "Entity 303". '303' originates from the atomic number of silver (47) added to 256 (the width of the world at the time), and was suggested by Tenebris as a joke. When Sojourner chose his own name, he didn't know what it meant, and just chose it since it sounded nice.

## Appearance

Sojourner's appearance has stayed largely consistent, as a hooded and robed ghostly figure with red glowing eyes. However, during 2019 through 2021, he experimented with an alternative design that had a gray skinned body, a torn robe, and long black hair. However, he returned to his old appearance in 2021 coinciding with 1.18's release and the I\_AM\_ONE\_WITH\_THE events.

## History

### 2012

Early public encounters with 303, in which he was seen in a desert and in which Sojourner had put sugar cane in place of the bottom of a tree.

During this time, Sojourner also placed a random beacon with player heads around it in someone's world.

### Pre-1.7

Prior to the release of Minecraft 1.7, he primarily played on his own worlds and occasionally visited servers, and became close friends with Tenebris. He also completed various projects on his own, including a Nether highway to the Far Lands and a city named Severus City.

### 1.7-1.8

During 1.7's development and release, Sojourner discovered the Log4j exploit (years before anyone else did), allowing him to take control of computers. This, along with a motive to protect codelings, and the effects of Tenebris' attitude rubbing off on Sojourner, led to Sojourner beginning to attack the Minecraft playerbase. This was strongest during late 2013 and resulted in him gaining most of his publicity, due to a pair of sightings by Frankie and by Speed. He continued doing this due to his tendency to get carried away with things.After this, various impersonators started leading Speed around, claiming Sojourner to be a fired Mojang employee who eats children (?????). During this time, Sojourner befriended several people, and most importantly Erehydaerla (who went by Mask of Death at the time), who later betrayed Sojourner. Sojourner also lost his friendships with Tenebris and Herobrine during this time. In response to the Sojourner events, a server was created called the Sulfur of Immunity, based around the class of IPs given the same name.

### 1.9+

As part of his plan, Sojourner performed the SABLE attacks. After their failure, he began to rethink his motives behind his actions and their actual effects, and adopt a new motive and a more friendly approach. he was ready to make his public appearance again, and contacted the admins of the Sulfur of Immunity (which had by then been renamed to Sulfur of Unity).

Sojourner is currently a crucial ally of the now-named Sulfur Network, along with several other class-H entities.

## Personality

Sojourner, abnormally, seems very willing to spend extremely long amounts of time straight doing activities (notable examples of this are his Far Lands highway built in Survival, and mining out an entire Indev world.)

Sojourner tries his best to be friendly and helpful, but can be a little annoying or caught up in his work sometimes. He can also get mind blanks and get confused at basic things for a little while.

As opposed to his 2014-2015 self, he has a very good sense

of when things are appropriate.

## Abilities

Sojourner's abilities depend on the version of the server he is playing on, and specifically, due to the Log4j exploit, if he is playing a version between 1.7 and 1.18.2, he can gain control of the server. He can hack in other ways as well (his use of Minecraft resembling a usual hack client). His primary use of Log4j is with a special computer Speed has reserved for use by entities, allowing Sojourner to send messages on Discord and easily modify files and install mods. Sojourner, like most entities, is immune to being banned from servers, and only the Sulfur of Immunity's special property (likely created initially by Erehydaerla) allowed him to be blocked from entering for a time.

## Frankie's Sighting

Provided is the original, unedited text of Frankie's 303 sighting from December 10, 2013. Note that the email was sent on the 11th. The version found on most websites has been edited by both Sojourner himself and impersonators to make it more scary.

Hi, Speed. My name is Frankie. I'm a huge fan of Minecraft, and I've been playing for about two years now. Every day after school, me and my friend, John would always play on his private server. He was a bit of a noob at Minecraft, but since he was pretty rich, he decided to buy a private server so we could play multiplayer survival, along with my friends, Vincent and Brady.

One day, we all were in a group Skype chat and we were working on a huge survival city that we were in the process of building for at least 8 months. We were really proud with how it turned out. It was located in a desert, so we appropriately named our city “Drybones.” All of a sudden, while we all went to grab supplies to finish the hotel that we were working on, John noticed something strange in the chat. The only plugins that we had on the server were Essentials, along with some plugin that Brady found called “SocialSpy.” Thanks to SocialSpy, it seems that someone named “player.number:303” used the command “/stop.” Now, John suffers from major anxiety. I’ve known him since preschool, and he’s always been a really insecure person, so when he saw that a so-called “nonexistent player” tried to shut down the server, he immediately thought that it was a hacker. At first, I thought it was just a bug or something and that he was being paranoid, but I reminded myself that this was a private server. I set up the plugins for him and such, and I kept his server whitelisted, since he didn’t know how. There was no way anyone could join except us.

I checked the server control panel, and it showed we were the only ones on the server. I was getting a bit confused. We all decided to just ignore it and continue on with our survival. It’s about 20 minutes in, and I’m walking with Vincent to the nearest forest to grab wood, which wasn’t very near at all. All of a sudden, we see a white figure in the distance of the desert. It appeared to be in the model of some type of ghostly figure, with what I could barely make out as red eyes. I quickly took a screenshot and ran after it.

For some reason, Vincent’s player just stood still. I assume it’s just lag, but he’s not even speaking on the skype call. I check skype and ask if he’s still online. No answer. He’s not even on the Skype call. I assume his internet is down. By now, Brady is just ignoring us and concentrating on the hotel. Anyhow, I open up Minecraft again to see that the white figure disappeared, and Vincent disconnected from the server. I try calling him on my phone, but no answer. It goes straight to voice mail. I try texting him, but the texts don’t deliver, making it very likely that his internet disconnected. Brady isn’t even listening to us, he’s not aware of the situation at all. I finally get his attention, and he finally realizes how peculiar this problem is. He tps to me and helps me search for the white figure.

Suddenly, my screen starts glitching. It’s not normal for Minecraft to bug out like that. It looked like it was corrupted or something. If that’s not bad enough, the chat starts spamming “Object successfully summoned” by “player.number:303.” I look at the skype chat, and realize that someone has joined the call. It does not have a username, nor did we get any notification of someone getting added to the call. John’s just watching this all happen. I was starting to get a little freaked out myself. Brady seemed to leave the call and disconnect from the server, possibly out of boredom.

The anonymous skype caller finally puts facecam on. It’s too dark to see anything. John gets too overwhelmed and leaves the call and server. I don’t blame him, if he stayed any longer, he’d probably have a mental breakdown. It’s just me and this anonymous player. I ask if there’s anyone there. I hear a faint voice saying something like “MAKE A WISH.” It was faint, yet it sounded like a voice changer or voice synthesizer. I decide to switch on Minecraft to see if the player is there. The chat spams with “FILE OVERLOAD” in red text, along with “MAKE A WISH” in gray text. I suddenly get poisoned with a potion of blindness. I then lose my ability to move. I can’t even exit out of Minecraft. This player then runs up to me. It seemed to have a ghostly skin on, with red eyes and a white parka. The skype call drops and somehow exits out by itself, and the player runs up to me and hits me. My computer then shuts off. I try to turn it on, but to no avail.

This story has been modified in most online versions, but it has been verified by Frankie that this is the original (And, Vincent, John, and Brady are all OK, and in fact are Sulfur Network admins).
