Mutual has encouraged me so time to ramble a little about silly minecraft oc thing.
Basically the premise for their little minecraft world was that in it, people had the classic 3 live system... but something goes a little funky once that third life is gone, they don't die completely.
Instead, they respawn in the end with a single life, all memories of their three lives in the overworld intact. If they die in the end after this, they return back to the overworld, memories of their time in the end now fuzzy and mainly reduced to old habits from their old lives being carried along in small ways, only memories made in the overworld are kept. Due to this the knowledge of this whole end shenanigans is pretty poor, no one fully understands why people who loose their third life sometimes come back
But this shifting between realms whilst in such a fragile state takes it toll overtime, warping a person's body and mind the more they go through this process, if it happens too many times... they're functionally lost, their mind shattered and their warped body wandering around semi-aimlessly.
These are the endermen in this world, the warped husks of those who underwent this process too many times, going by muscle memory with how they grab various blocks and items, them turning hostile when stared at is basically the remains of the primal fight or flight response but in a state where the moment they feel even vaguely threatened they go on the attack.
There's no known way to bring someone out of this state, they are functionally dead.
Now we get to the actual character (I guess I'll call them the Founder for simplicity's sake since I never fully gave them a name)
The Founder is one of the first members of a town in the end named Silence, being sort of the main authority figure there, focusing on trying to keep those living in it safe, having made precautions to try and prevent any deaths (safety nets underneath bridges between islands, walls around island edges, panic rooms in the event someone angers an endermen, the list goes on)
The Founder is aware of the origins of the endermen, and they're somewhat aware that people who die in the end can come back whilst loosing memories of their time in the end, possibly having returned to the overworld. To try and account for this, they have created a massive library of memories that they writes about every resident so if someone dies and then later returns, they can give them their respective book to bring them up to speed.
They don't have fond memories of the overworld, thinking it's a violent, chaotic place, having never died in the End since they were first brought here. They don't fully understand why some may want to return... and will intervene if someone tries to find a way to go back, if a way is found, then others might leave to.
No one under their watch will ever leave Silence.
They will never feel that crushing loneliness again...

It's a silly barebones idea but eh I like it
