Magichemist is a player character on the WebSMP.

### Appearance

Magichemist's skin is a flame-headed humanoid with purple skin. He wears a red shirt, spiked leather jacket, dark trousers and boots that have rainbow laces.

Art of Magichemist typically displays two sets of white or gray wings over where a pair of eyes would be. In addition he tends to create facial features, predominantly his fangs, from the smoke he emits.

### Personality

#### Season 1

A mostly stoic character who took to building as his main focus. The best way to describe his goals includes ambitious, be it by his base building, terraining, or other projects. The stoicism quickly left Magichemist as one thing led to another; his ambitious drive got the better of him as he ascended to madness.

#### Season 2

Much more open and friendly of a character than previous, but still with a rather intimidating aura. He is extremely goal oriented, getting his starter base finished in the first session and getting netherite that same session for a loadstone. He seems to care about those around him and enjoys the cooperation but grows wary of those less involved with his antics. Eventually he reveals that he’s known about the previous season the whole time and has been planning on killing the world from the moment he knew it was the same apocalypse he created in season 0.

#### Season 3

Devious and intimidating, but much more cautious to prevent possible uprising against him. Wants to keep things interesting but is certain the others will be able to do so for him, especially after his mind getting wiped later on. That event makes him much more open, kind, and caring to almost everyone’s concern.

### Story

#### Season 1

Magichemist joined later in season 1 as a member of the depleted Team 2, but began as quick as possible to catch up to the others. His starter base was designed to emulate a monkey in a hot spring. Each pool containing different redstone farms beneath. Racing for diamond armor and tools he quickly began work on his mountain castle/factory adjacent to the Team 2 base. During his exploration he discovered a hidden black stone castle that contained ABiscuit902 and TheodoreHelle's souls in the tallest tower, snatching them on first instinct he hid them away. Later on Magichemist became a major character interacting with primarily Narose, Hiyimi, and Shrinebird to discover multiple lore buildings using Magichemist’s Nether knowledge.

During this time Magichemist found a frozen cave underneath the mountain he was building his mega base, which lit up with soul fire as he explored it, Narose snatched up the book before the cauldron and before he read it Magichemist had already drank the cave water from the cauldron, thinking it would be funny. This began his corruption as some sort of parasite began eating away at Magichemist’s soul, turning his flaming head slowly into soul fire.

For a while the corruption was ignored, but things grew more concerning as a tower was discovered far in the wastes, blazing bright with soul fire, containing multiple burned up souls. Frightened, he began to figure out a plan to combat whatever was going to happen to his soul. Sensing he was losing control of himself, Magichemist created a device that could possibly combat his corruption. This device drew its power from the observatory in the distance to convert souls into edible items to satiate the parasite. Expecting Shrinebird to have some knowledge of where the other members of Team 1 may keep their souls, Magichemist raided it’s homes searching for them, only to discover Hiyimi and another TheodoreHelle soul. Moving forward he continued to collect souls, searching Zoyell's mega base and eventually breaking into her vault to collect it. At this point possessing the souls of TheodoreHelle, aBiscuit902, Zoyell, and Hiyimi, he began to fight back against his curse.

Having no relationship with TheodoreHelle, aBiscuit902, or Zoyell, Magichemist began with aBiscuit902’s soul, breaking it down and devouring it. Although it seemed to reverse the progress of the parasite for a time, it was not enough and the corruption process was only accelerated. He continued to destroy souls, but refused to destroy Hiyimi's. Although he knew that the destruction of one’s soul meant dooming them, he never thought he was killing anyone; he could not do that to one of the few members he had genuine interactions with. The kindness Hiyimi had shown Magichemist over the course of the season gave him enough drive to allow them into his secret lab, returned Hiyimi's soul to him and gave them the task to destroy Magichemist’s. Magichemist had given up hope of curing himself and instead decided to cut his losses and ensure that he saved at least one person from himself.

With his soul destroyed and his sense of self almost completely eroded, Magichemist grew desperate, making threats and tearing apart homes looking for any souls that could satiate his hunger. Pulling himself together, he destroyed his lab to ensure no one else could become his victim. Then came his final trek to a gravesite hidden deep within a flower forest.

Reaching the centre of the tomb, Magichemist, Hiyimi, Shrinebird, and ArtChimera21 learned about the past and how everything was connected. All the events that have been occurring had occurred in some way before. In that time loop old Magichemist went on a Mullins spree and old Shrinebird forced a time reset that sent every member back to the start leaving only traces of what had happened. In addition by destroying many souls, Magichemist had doomed the world again. Gaining this knowledge Shrinebird attacked him, in which they fought for a long while until Shrinebird said “If you want to stop being corrupted you will let me kill you here.” To which Magichemist began to back off and argue that oblivion was only a theory of his. Sadly for him, that gave Shrinebird enough time to end Magichemist’s life, thus breaking the time loop.

Magichemist never thought of himself as a villain, and instead every decision he had made over the course of Season 1 had left some feeling of regret. He never wanted to kill anyone, only to survive until there was no hope left for him.

#### Season 2

The season began with Magichemist being introduced to all the new members of the server only to immediately run off and collect as many resources as possible, this is evident by him getting diamond tools, building his starter base (The Fox), the nether highway, and a lodestone in the first session. In doing so, he settled down in a savannah close to a village that he, Narose, and TheodoreHelle shared in the North-West corner of the world.

Early on NightUnfurled left a note that suggested aBiscuit902 had been snooping and acting quite suspicious. As such she sent out word that she was looking for aBiscuit’s base and soul. Saying he would “…not be someone else’s puppet” Magichemist instead of helping, pulled a bit of a prank. This included building a randomly triggering music trap in NightUnfurled’s base that played Among Us Drip.

Discussion of souls brought up that TheodoreHelle had memories of the previous season, worrying about his misplaced soul he accused Magichemist of eating it “like last time”. This revealed that Magichemist had absolutely no memory of the previous season. Nothing remained of previous relationships, his corruption, or his death.

Moving on from his pranks and amnesia, Magichemist quickly began developing the more professional aspects of his base; this included the villager hall, and the bridge above The Fox. These projects continued but were repeatedly interrupted by others antics. Repeatedly out of the loop, he became friends with Soup and discussed mutual aid in the wake of the other faction.

While Magichemist was busying himself with industrial builds, the others on the server had formed a faction that was quickly growing more suspicious. Unsure of what to do he began to investigate some of the places they had frequented only to grow more concerned as a concrete building had sprouted up in the world accompanied by a strange structure above. One of which contained something called a World Shard which fell into the hands of HarptheNoob.

Fearing the other faction, (Shrinebird, Hiyimi, Crimric, and HarptheNoob) that had begun to form, Magichemist began gathering alliances. Becoming allied with Narose, Zoyelli, ArtChimera21, and NightUnfurled, he decided it was time to investigate the possible other concrete building. Another what had become known as Halos had appeared between his and ArtChimera21’s base, but no building was accompanying it. Thinking through this, with his new allies they towered up to a previously unseen building labeled “The Signal Tower”. There evidence as to what the World Shard was used for became apparent.

Somehow the world had gone into some sort of “emergency sleep mode” and the World Shard was a method of waking it up. Before having the ability to get the World Shard in his hands, the world border suddenly expanded and a heartbeat could be heard from the center of the world.

Blaming the other faction for doing things to the world we had no idea the consequences of, tensions quickly grew more and more. Eventually the blame game was played all around with no information truly being passed. Those allied with Magichemist, The Autumn Court, knew what the others had done and were upset that they would go behind their backs but did not know what was to come next.

While all of this had been going on in public view, behind closed doors Magichemist had been meeting with aBiscuit902 in private. The invisible lurker that had been haunting the server for the past month was known to Magichemist has the one he had been meeting with. And now with more dramatic changes occurring in the world, it was time to get more information from his shady “partner”. Magichemist requested that aBiscuit902 do some scouting for him. Being so out of the loop with the others, he needed more information about what they were up to.

After aBiscuit902’s betrayal, when he stole the souls of Magichemist, TheodoreHelle, and GothicAnalogue from Magichemist’s possession, Magichemist scoured the world, discovering aBiscuit902’s secret base and stole back every soul that he had procured. Most of these souls were returned to their owners or fell into Hiyimi’s hands. Magichemist kept hold of us original three plus aBiscuit902’s soul incase of another possible betrayal.

Knowing it was time to get serious, Magichemist began to work on the true Autumn Court Themepark and plans began brewing for the Ascension Project, a secret build to get rid of the coming apolcalyspe. Avoiding others and their attempts to discover the truth behind Okmir, Nemera, and the Champion’s Armor, Magichemist began his work directly against the well being of the world. Sensing this, the Hub began to bring forward fragments of Season 1, being Shrinebird’s Fort Featherfall and his Frozen Factory to this world. After being labeled as The Harbinger and the truth being revealed to everyone of the crimes he committed in the past that brought about the end, the work on The Ascension Project plans began.

Gaining access to The End and the secrets of inter dimensional travel, Magichemist ignored the lack of trust all but Narose had in him and worked diligently planning to send The Hub directly to the end, destroying it and stopping the current apocalypse. The main flaw in his plan was that stopping the black veins from destroying the world would kill the world and send it into a death spiral of its own. As such Magichemist also began constructing a stabilizer matrix at the Autumn Court to ensure that it would remain even if the rest of the world disintegrated.

With almost everything in place to launch the ascension project, he just needed one last thing: the last fragment of the world’s souls. Currently it was in the possession of Hiyimi, and while he planned to get it, Shrinebird, Hiyimi, HarptheNoob, Crimric, and ArtChimera21 had invaded his vault using explosives to destroy the door. Losing all his contracts and the souls he had acquired for his protection. His plan could no longer wait. He stole the purified world soul and forced it into the heart of the world, completing its soul once again and maximizing the instability in the world. This created the perfect conditions to open the mega end portal under the hug and launching it into the end along with everyone that was on it. Revealing he had no intention of saving the world after this, Magichemist demanded that he had saved everyone and was ready with the perfect place to spend eternity. The Autumn Court’s true purpose was on perfect display as the cosmic prison it was, with it being the only thing left once the world collapsed, Magichemist could not be alone anymore. No one could abandon him again. As such he came forward as to why Narose had the first contract: there had to be no way for Narose to leave Magichemist alone again.

Shrinebird had to put his plan into action to get everyone out of the dying world. With the aid of The Scintilation, an inter dimensional fungus of some sort that it had allied with, Shrinebird began to plan a way to get out of the world using the Flesh of Nemera and the Scintilation’s powers. In addition Magichemist had a backup plan incase of people refusing his offer to spend eternity in his “Hell Carnival”; in the underground of Gothic Labs, Magichemist had constructed another portal like the one he used to send the heart to The End.

After a lengthy discussion, everyone decided to use a combined effort of the portal Magichemist constructed without a power source and the Scintillation’s blessing to get everyone to a new world. In this discussion it was revealed that Magichemist is actually an immortal apocalypse demon that has been just trying to make the most fun of his existence and has grown tired of the “reruns” that having the same apocalypse over and over had caused. At the end of all of this he just wanted to keep experiencing how “deliciously self destructive” everyone he had met in these past worlds were.

With the portal open, he expressed joy that the Scintillation would be joining everyone in the new world. In addition Magichemist said he would be giving everyone a gift to feel the ecstasy of mortality once again before the next time. Stealing control of the portal from The Scintillation, he sent them instead to a temporary prison world while he stayed behind to ensure that this world was completely dead before moving on and to ensure the full cast made it through.

End of Season 2 Notes:

Magichemist first killed off any and all of the remaining gods in the world. Primarily Okmir, the sun god was killed, and his flesh was given to Fried Egg the yellow axolotl to turn him into a god. After the rest of the world was destroyed, Magichemist’s true form devoured the smoldering remains.

#### Season 3

The season opens up with Magichemist forcing his way into the world against the wishes of the Scintillation. Everyone else arrived in large glass tubes and held their own souls, but Magichemist did not possess his at the beginning, instead being in the possession of Ssoupcup (this is due to the soul being stolen at the end of Season 2). All that was brought from the Season 2 world was Fried Egg, freshly beginning his transformation.

The first session was spent beating the game. To the pleasure of Magichemist, the Ender Dragon was killed in about 4 hours 20 minutes, and he ended the fight at level 69. After getting shulker boxes and an elytra, Magichemist returned to join the others at what would become known as the Hub, a common gathering place that housed starter bases and shops. Not long after, work began on the Crab Cave, this season’s starter base.

With everyone present in the last world worried about Magichemist destroying the world again, he began to plan how to ensure that no one would give him trouble this time. First, he needed to find who had his soul as a deal needed to be struck. Second, Fried Egg needed to be protected to ensure his transformation to godhood could occur in peace. Third, everyone’s anxieties about him needed to be quelled temporarily to give time for Fried Egg.

For the first note. eventually ssoupcup came forward for having his soul, and a deal was struck. As long as ssoupcup kept his soul safe, Magichemist would be of complete use to them. In addition, neither party could lie to each other and this contract would be transferred to any who possessed the contract and Magichemist’s soul. It should be noted that this contract nor Magichemist’s soul could not be destroyed unless the contract holder also destroyed their own soul. Ssoupcup had many projects currently going on and came to reveal that the had split their soul in half, expressing possible concern about being soul bound. This would become relevant later.

In order to keep Fried Egg safe, the initial idea was to construct a backrooms maze under the hub and hide him within. With how long construction was going on for this did not end up being a viable strategy. Eventually Magichemist needed to make sure people just thought of him as a pet, and a mundane detail not worthy of focus. All the while Magichemist began to plant the seed of the Sun God and his rising power, all the while hiding the fact that Fried Egg was that very god.

Then came the plan to reduce fear of what Magichemist may do if things grew to be not “interesting” enough. Facing threats from HarptheNoob and Shrinebird, Magichemist remembered one of the side effects of the Scintillation initially infesting Shrinebird: memory loss. And so another deal was drafted between Shrinebird and Magichemist. Magichemist would agree to stop possessing the body he pilots in order to exist within this world, and the Scintillation would temporarily infest it in order to block any and all memories past the beginning of Season 1 and sparse others to avoid confusion. This was all done as part of a bet, Magichemist wanted to prove that he is not the only one capable of ending the world, and if anyone else did so, then he would regain control of the body and the Scintillation would abandon his body. If he won this bet, he would gain a surplus of knowledge on who the Scintillation really is, and if Shrine won due to Magichemist destroying everything, proving it is his nature as an apocalypse demon, then Magichemist would relinquish whatever control and knowledge the Scintillalion requested. (It should be noted, at this point Magichemist was almost certain that ssoupcup would end the world in his absence, all that he needed to do was keep the vessel busy with something else, and wait patiently)

This then began the planning before the Scintillation Ball and and before his mind wipe. Multiple plot hooks and securities needed to be put into place to ensure he could win this bet without officially interfering. First, the Solar Sanctum and its scripture to steal the vessel’s mine away from others. Second, drafting plans for the Clockwork Sun mega base to ensure its construction while hiding its true purpose. And third, providing ssoupcup with requested info on the creation of a demon for which they were the perfect candidate for in the form of eight encoded pages hidden around the world in significant locations. Plus one added detail with Fried Egg that none had been privy to yet.

The ball was a success and Magichemist’s mind was wiped clean. To everyone’s surprise, his personality became significantly less devious and much more genuine. Primarily he only really remembered who Shrinebird, hiyimi, and Narose were. And just barely who Fried Egg was to him, a son. Still soul bound to ssoupcup, Magichemist had an unexplained draw to them. But could not make out as to why. If he ever started getting close to working out how or why, the memories would be blocked again.

Without much to go on, Magichemist was drawn to the Solar Sanctum and the musing of his new god. Practicing and preaching about kindness, selflessness, and most of all, not to abuse that power we are blessed with. This specifically was targeted at ssoupcup and HarptheNoob for abusing the power of magic to create extremely powerful spells. Fried Egg would constantly be granting tidbits of his teachings to his new prophet. The Sun God of rebirth had fully enthralled Magichemist with ease, but ensured that he didn’t want others to know his true identity. With Fried Egg’s powers still being relatively weak, and his soul only beginning to manifest, he could not risk possible backlash. All the while an unknown character referred to by Fried Egg as The Inferno was reported to have struck a deal with him in order to observe what was going on.

Ssoupcup had begun to severely fray at the edges and slowly so was Magichemist. They had been slowly poisoning themselves in order to suppress the effects of a soul tampering project they attempted in the previous world. It would soon become apparent that Magichemist was also feeling these effects and it could be inferred that there may have been much more problems with soul binding to a cracking soul that was not discussed when the contract was signed.
