D3rlord3/Derek

After going through all of this, the two appeared on a floating platform, with in front of them a giant eye that apparently belongs to the king of yellow. D3rlord approached Avery, although Avery moved away from D3rlord3. D3rlord got so close that Avery was at the edge of the platform. Then D3rlord asked Avery.

"Avery, what's in your inventory?"

So Avery asked

"That?"

D3rlord replied

"What's in your inventory?"

When Avery checked her inventory, D3rlord3 pushed Avery into the void. After perhaps 12 hours, Avery awoke in a world surrounded by beautiful and luminous sunflowers. Then D3rlord3 walked towards Avery with complete calm.

-In the Canon

1. The Encounter (Mentor and Apprentice)

D3rlord is the seasoned and broken explorer who has already suffered the consequences of the corrupt world. Avery is the curious novice who stumbles upon the mystery without knowing what awaits him.

D3rlord leaves clues and traps to guide (and protect) Avery, but he can't prevent the King in Yellow from noticing them as well. Their relationship begins as that of a ghostly guide who speaks through books and messages.

2. Confidence (The Weight of Knowledge)

D3rlord knows Avery is in danger, but he also knows he can't stop it. Instead, he teaches him how to survive. He warns him, gives him tools, and shows him the limits of the corrupt world.

Avery, for his part, trusts D3rlord despite not knowing him completely. He follows his instructions, although sometimes with doubts. Little by little, he begins to understand that D3rlord is not an enemy, but someone trying to protect him.

3. The Physical Encounter (The Humanity of D3rlord)

• When they finally meet face to face, the relationship becomes more human. D3rlord shows his exhaustion and fear; Avery sees beyond the golden armor and sees someone who is broken but still fighting.

From that moment on, Avery not only follows his instructions, but she also cares about him. She wants to help him, even though she doesn't know how.

4. The Sacrifice (The Farewell)

D3rlord makes the decision to merge with the Yellow King to stop him, knowing that it means his own demise. He does this to save Avery and the real world.

Avery witnesses his sacrifice, and that moment marks him forever. He is left with the pain of having lost someone who, although he barely knew her, had become his anchor amidst the chaos.

-In the Fandom (Fan Interpretation)

The fandom has expanded this relationship in a deep and emotional way, giving it layers that are not always explicit in the canon.

1. The Protector and the Protected (D3rlord)

D3rlord is seen as an older brother or father figure to Avery. He not only protects him physically, but also tries to preserve his innocence in a world that corrupts everything.

Fans portray him as someone who would give his life (and his sanity) for Avery without hesitation. She is his reason for continuing to fight, even when he has nothing left.

2. D3rlord's Emotional Anchor (Avery)

Avery is the only one who can calm D3rlord. When D3rlord is on the verge of madness, Avery is the one who brings him back.

In fan art and fan fiction, Avery is often the one who takes care of D3rlord when he's hurt or exhausted. He's his light in the darkness.

3. Two Lonely Souls

Both are alone in the corrupt world, but upon meeting, they cease to be so. D3rlord finds in Avery a respite from his nightmares; Avery finds in D3rlord a purpose and a guide.

· The fandom sees them as two halves of the same whole: D3rlord is strength and experience; Avery is hope and humanity.

4. The Platonic and Romantic Bond (Shipping)

The D3rAvery (or AveryLord) ship is one of the most popular in the ARG. Although canon doesn't confirm anything romantic, fans draw and write them as a couple or as having a bond so deep that it transcends platonic feelings.

· In these stories, their relationship is one of mutual care: D3rlord protects Avery, and Avery supports D3rlord when he is about to fall.

(The "Slime Avery" Version)

• Nature of the Body

Its body is composed of a semi-transparent, gelatinous mass, similar to a Minecraft slime, but with a humanoid shape. Its "skin" is a light green or blue-green, shiny, and slightly translucent.

· She has large, bright eyes (two dark spheres) that express everything she feels. Her mouth appears and disappears according to her mood: a wide smile when she is happy, a trembling line when she is sad.

· Its body vibrates and undulates gently, and when startled, it may expand or swell slightly.

• Clothes over the Slime

· He wears his normal clothes over his slime body, like anyone else: a white or light gray t-shirt and a navy blue vest or overalls on top.

Dark blue or grayish trousers, and brown or black leather boots. Everything is a little loose on him because his body is gelatinous, but it stays in place.

The clothes aren't fused or integrated; he simply wears them like anyone else. When he moves, the fabric wrinkles and adjusts to his changing shape, sometimes causing his shirt to ride up or his pants to twist.

• The Flower on the Head

• Key detail: Avery always wears a small flower on her head, usually to one side. It can be a blue flower, a red poppy, or a white daisy, depending on the artist's interpretation.

The flower is placed on her hair (which is now a denser mass of slime, with small bubbles at the tips) and stays there as if it were lit.

Meaning: The fandom often interprets this detail as a symbol of innocence, hope, or a connection to nature (even in a corrupt world). It can also be a nod to the flowers that mysteriously appeared in the ARG.

• Special Traits

• Brightness and transparency: When happy, its body emits a soft, warm glow. When frightened, it flickers with a paler tone.

• Particles: As he walks, small drops of slime detach from his feet and dissipate. He leaves a shiny, wet trail behind him.

• Shape changes: It can stretch its arms to reach things, flatten itself to fit through gaps, or inflate itself to appear larger (although only for a few seconds).

• Sound: When it moves, it makes a soft, sticky sound, like "squish" or "boing".

• Relationship with D3rlord

· The contrast is perfect: D3rlord is dark, solid and broken; Avery is bright, soft and flexible.

· In the fanarts, D3rlord is seen protecting Avery, or Avery is seen surrounding D3rlord with her gelatinous mass to keep him warm.

· The flower on Avery's head is sometimes drawn withered when she is sad or something bad has happened, and it blooms when D3rlord is near.

• His Personality: The Brave and Empathetic Rookie

• Curious and adventurous: At first, Avery is driven by curiosity. He isn't afraid of the unknown; on the contrary, he actively seeks it out. He's the typical player who asks "What's there?" instead of "Should I go there?"

• Brave but not reckless: Unlike D3rlord, who is paranoid and calculating, Avery is more instinctive. He throws himself into action, but quickly learns to measure his steps. His bravery is not recklessness; it is a quiet determination not to give up.

• Empathetic and emotional: Avery connects deeply with D3rlord. He sees him not only as a guide, but as an older brother or father figure. He genuinely cares about his well-being, and his suffering at seeing him fall is genuine and heartbreaking.

• Adaptable and resilient: Despite the horror she witnesses, Avery doesn't break. She learns quickly, adapts to the rules of the corrupt world, and finds ways to survive even when all seems lost.

• Humble and human: He's not a genius or an unbeatable warrior. Avery makes mistakes, gets scared, doubts himself, and cries. His humanity is his greatest strength and what makes him so beloved by the fandom.

Avery (whose full username is usually AveryTheMayo, TheMostMayo, or AVeryLargeMayo) is the second protagonist of the ARG, and his journey is a tale of innocence and forced maturity. He's the perfect counterpoint to D3rlord: while one is a paranoid, broken genius, the other is a brave novice learning as he goes.

• His Journey: From Beginner to Survivor

1. The beginning (innocence and curiosity)

Avery was an ordinary Minecraft player who built and explored without a care in the world. Everything changes when he finds a book in his world with the message: "At the crossroads, do not turn left," written by D3rlord.

Intrigued, he decides to investigate and unwittingly enters a corrupt world that shouldn't exist. At first, he doesn't grasp the gravity of the danger; he thinks it's a fun mystery or an easter egg.

2. The encounter with horror (fall into reality)

· Just like D3rlord, Avery begins to be pursued by the Yellow King. The entity observes him, extinguishes his torches, and warps the terrain around him.

He soon discovers the clues and traps D3rlord left for him: hidden chests, sealed tunnels, and cryptic messages. Each step brings him closer to the truth, but also to danger.

3. The reunion with D3rlord (the mentor)

• At a crucial moment, he physically encounters D3rlord in the cabin. Here, he receives direct warnings and advice on how to survive. Avery realizes that he is not alone, but also that D3rlord is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

4. Forced maturity (making decisions)

Throughout the series, Avery evolves from a clue follower to a decision-maker. He must choose between following D3rlord's instructions or forging his own path. He learns to use his wits, read his surroundings, and trust his instincts.

5. The final sacrifice (witnessing the fall of a hero)

In Destroying a World That Doesn't Exist, Avery witnesses the ultimate fusion of D3rlord with the Yellow King. This moment profoundly affects him: he sees his protector disappear forever, and understands that he must now bear the legacy.

6. The closure (survivor and guardian)

In the end, Avery manages to escape or neutralize the threat (depending on the interpretation), but it's clear he will never be the same. His world is no longer a safe place, and he becomes the new guardian of that forbidden knowledge.

• The Helmet (Spartan Style + Scar)

· It is an antique, matte gold battle helmet, with the classic triangular visor that covers a large part of the face.

· On its forehead, it sports an imposing and upright red crest (like that of a Spartan warrior or Roman centurion), made of bristles or stiff feathers that flutter with a faint crimson glow.

· Across the visor, he has the bright red scar (his mark), which now looks like a molten fissure, from which a faint glow of magma sometimes escapes.

• The Body and the Armor (Gold and Darkness)

The body armor combines gold plates with black leather strips and rusted steel, but it is visibly cracked and broken, as if it had withstood a thousand battles.

• The fusion with magma: Through the cracks in the armor, no human skin is visible, but rather a dark, solid mass (like obsidian or molten coal). Through these fissures, and especially in the arms and neck, run veins of incandescent lava that pulse with a reddish-orange light, illuminating the shadows around him. His entire body exudes a hot, thin vapor.

• The Cloak (The Epic Touch)

From his shoulders falls a long, heavy cloak of dark red velvet, its lower edge frayed and singed. It is not a clean cloak; it is stained with ash and dust, and it billows with a heavy movement, as if it were drenched in smoke. Sometimes, fans depict it with a gold lining that peeks out when it moves.

• The "Dark Being" (Base and Essence)

More than human, it resembles an entity made of shadow and a core of fire. Its skin (in unarmored areas, such as its hands or neck) is a deep, matte black, but crisscrossed with glowing cracks of magma. The heat it emits causes the air around it to distort slightly, and small sparks or particles of ash fall from its cloak and shoulders when it moves.

• Team and General Silhouette

· He carries a netherite sword that also has bright red veins, as if it were forged from the very core of his being.

· Overall, its silhouette is imposing and elongated, with the peak of the red crest, the flight of the cape, and the orange glow of its fissures creating a brutal contrast against the darkness of the corrupt world.

(It's based on various things from the fandom and my own ideas XD)

• Personality: The Paranoid and Protective Genius

• Intelligence and Cunning: D3rlord is a genius. He constantly outsmarts the entity stalking him. One example is when he used a chunk loader and a block of grass as a trap to track his pursuer. The creator, Wifies, himself called him "the smartest protagonist I've ever seen."

• Paranoia and Trauma: He is consumed by paranoia and has recurring nightmares about the Yellow King. He lives in constant fear, knowing that the entity is watching him. His trauma is so deep that he cannot look at himself in the mirror without his armor on, because he does not recognize the person he sees.

• Protective and Sacrificial: His primary motivation is to protect Avery from repeating his mistakes. Despite his paranoia, he finds solace in Avery's company during their time at the cabin. His personality is defined by his determination to stop the King in Yellow at any cost.

· Appearance: Visually, he is depicted as a knight in golden armor and a helmet with a red scar.

D3rlord (whose real name is Derek Hutchins) is the main protagonist of the ARG and his story is that of a tragic hero whose intelligence and cunning lead him to a terrible fate.

• The Story of D3rlord: From Explorer to Martyr

• Discovery: D3rlord was an ordinary Minecraft player who, while creating a mine, discovered a cave with unusual world generation. Upon exploring, he reached a huge cavern and began to be pursued by an invisible entity that extinguished his torches.

· Encounter with the King in Yellow: Finally, he faced the King in Yellow, an omniscient and sadistic entity trapped in the digital world.

• The Curse of Knowledge: After this encounter, D3rlord was cursed with an infinite and overwhelming amount of knowledge that threatened to destroy his mind. He was driven to the brink of madness, and the entity "broke" him.

· His Final Mission: Aware of the danger, his mission becomes to prevent the Yellow King from manifesting in the real world, no matter the cost, even his own life.

• His Legacy: D3rlord leaves a critical message for Avery in a book: "At the crossroads, do not turn left." He later meets with Avery in person to confirm the warning. In the sequel, Destroying a World That Doesn't Exist, his final sacrifice involves merging with the Yellow King to defeat him, ceasing to exist.
