Everybody say hello to...

CONNOOORR !!!

I literally loved drawing and writing this lil guy so much, y'all have no idea

And- oh! What's that?? A Minecraft story where the Enderman is NOT the only black character???? Why of course! I didn't really have any specific lore-based reasons for the human version to be of color, but hey, inclusivity never killed anyone, alright?

In fact, I will try my best to add as much variety of characters as possible as to include as many minorities as I can. I believe that especially in dark times like these, including positive representation of any kind is very important, especially when a lot of already existing representation either is allegorical or just not that great, you get me? The good representation we got is very scarce sadly.

But then again, I am only human, so if I mess up or don't represent a group of people too well, please do tell me that !! All I ask is that you tell me if I mess up so I can fix it <333

But anyway, back to Connor here...

Did you know that he's my very first OC of color? Yea bro's number 1, AND he's a short king <333

Also you can't really tell from the drawing (cries) but his hair is MAD fluffy, he makes up for his height with his hair ahah

His personality is so interesting and imo cute, I cannot wait to write him again and to have him talk yk? He's very lively for someone that lives at Y level 0 in an abandoned mineshaft alright lmao

‼️Before any of you ask to pet him or hug him tho- he bites. It is not a good idea to stand too close to him for too long. Same thing applies to all spiders‼️

Also fun fact for anyone that is interested: you may have guessed it by the cave spider encounter in chapter 10 (if you've read it), but my spiders are not just generic spiders. Common spiders are based on tarantulas, while cave spiders are based on jumping spiders. Yes, the cute ones had to be the most deadly ones. I don't make the rules (Actually yes I do but shh)
