Preple

Preple is a Season 2 character and a side character in the First Arc.

## Story

### The Origin of Preple

Preple grew up in an unnamed village. One day while fishing, he noticed a trapdoor, which dropped him into an abandoned lab under the lake. After briefly exploring, he found the deactivated Minoan Blade, which he assumed was junk since it was made from gold. Eventually, he found the main lab area, which contained a journal detailing experiments on an obsidian square, with the last entry saying they had lit the square on fire. Curious, Preple lit the square, which created a huge explosion and teleported Preple to the Nether, trapping him there. In the Nether, the Minoan Blade was activated, granting him superhuman abilities as well as immortality.

At an unknown time after this, Preple was able to get onto the roof of the Nether, where he built a courtroom with his powers and appointed himself as the judge of the dead.

Preple remained trapped in the Nether until the other players arrived on the server and built portals to the Nether (presumably thousands of years after the events of The Origin of Preple).

### Current Timeline

#### Beginnings of the Server/Dragon Fight

Preple was not a part of the Dragon Fight or other early server events, due to being trapped in the Nether.

#### Return to the Overworld

Some time after the Dragon Fight, Preple found a Nether Portal made by one of the players on the server, and returned to the Overworld. However, he discovered that the Minoan Blade's powers became inactive when it was taken to the Overworld. Despite building an isolated base far from other players, he chose to spend most of his time in the Nether because of this.

#### First Contact with Players

Right before Maro attacked, Preple decided to explore and find out who made the portal that rescued him from the Nether. After traveling a long distance, he found the Shopping District, where he encountered Pokemaster, Hippo, Maro, and Ocramboi, who were heading to the parkour course for the Olympics. Pokemaster invited him to join the competition, to which Preple accepted. When Maro attacked the group, Preple took his new friends into the Nether and back to his base, where they all built temporary rooms to pass the time.

#### Olympics Redo

Preple was the only player that participated in the original Olympics but not the redo. It is unknown why this is.

### Previous Timelines

Both the First and Second timelines were reset before Preple returned to the Overworld, so it is unknown if there was any differences for Preple between timelines.

## Personality

Preple does his best to be kind, but is a bit unsure of himself around people due to spending thousands of years in solitude in the Nether. Despite his insecurities, he steps up to help when Maro attacks and proves himself to be a valuable ally.
