"Host" Sam

NOT the original host

remembers vague childhood memories and meeting dream pre-smp

only became aware he wasnt alone in his head when he had a massive blackout that ended with him in a stone brick structure he didn't recognize, surrounded by shattered glass and drenched in someone else's blood

doesnt know jack shit about the system. thinks he's being possessed or some shit and is trying so so hard to be normal about it

the engineer. the sam that befriended Dream and built the prison and he KNOWS redstone but has no idea where he learned all of it.

Warden

wannabe gatekeeper, PISS POOR caretaker, protector (cough persecutor cough cough) AND trauma/anger holder while working a nine to five (GET THIS MF OUT OF FRONT)

uses it/its in reference to himself because he doesn't think of himself as a person (eventually he shifts to he/it with some character development)

thinks he is the most aware, still doesn't know everything

told host sam "not to worry about it" while he caught Sam fronting in the spawn trap he built for ponk. his work was already done, no point in troubling his host with the details.

Holds a lot of negative emotions relating to Sam's relationship with Ponk bc while sam loved her, Warden remembers every time she got a little too silly with it and actively hurt sam in the process.

ASSHOLE. stubborn as hell. Refuses to let sam open up.

is convinced the system must stay hidden or else they'll be forcibly removed from the Warden position and thrown into a cell.

thinks if he's not running the prison dream breaking out goes from a probability to an eventuality.

Had been brewing since dream started talking about exile (so like. a day into being warden) but fully split after tommy's death and subsequent revival to keep sam from killing himself

genuinely grateful to Quackity for pulling Sam out of the hole. far more lenient with him than anybody else because of this (does not realize quackity is using him)

Nook

caretaker, presumed dormant until latching onto a fragment of an introject of the Sam Nook robot Sam built for Tommy.

EXTREMELY protective of the kids on the server. considers Tommy's friends under his protection as well.

is ACTUALLY the most aware, has technically been around the longest.

being actively suppressed by Warden since quackity's involvement in the prison.

has ZERO memory of anything related to the prison. Doesn't know tommy died and came back (would have fully gone dormant if he had found out)

has technically been around since sam was like, 12. learned to cook and clean and take care of Sam when Phil couldn't be assed to

beefing HARD with Warden for trying to play every role possible. was LIVID to find out what happened to Ranboo.

prisoner.

newest alter. traumatized part. basically programmed

dream figured out how to leverage sam's memory gaps and dissociation to his benefit while sam was trapped in the prison. holds most of the memories of that time.

loyal to dream (not even out of fear, genuinely holds positive associations with dream, doesn't remember being killed by him). triggered out by specific phrases and symbols. nobody else knows what these are aside from the obvious smiley face symbol.

acts very much like a skittish animal. quiet. obedient. DEEPLY unnerving to everyone else in the system.

Warden wants to "get rid of it." sees prisoner as a liability

Sammy/Prince

little, trauma holder

six years old (youngest person ever)

only one who remembers life before phil beyond vague memories.

only reason anybody else is aware of his existence is bc of the singular therapy appointment with puffy that actually got them anywhere.

very polite little guy! warden didn't let him talk but he had fun drawing with his new friend "Cap'n Puffy"

warden was BIG MAD that smth in sam's brain exists without his knowledge. Nook already knew and that makes him even madder. little prince sammy just likes to draw and color

holds memories of the attack on the palace. too scared to even draw the thing that killed his parents, just calls it a "monster." (TOTALLY unrelated note, he is fucking terrified of Technoblade.)

does not front aside from that one time. can still passively influence sam to some extent when he is NEAR front (get baby beamed idiot)

Sam Prime

the og host. remembers the most time with philza, presumed dormant after phil left.

when he comes out of dormancy he's an age slider (middle (12) to early/mid 20s)

was aware of the caretaker but not the little. does not remember the incident but knows smth happened to his old home and that's why he's with phil.

Partially fuses with Sam for a bit upon waking up (the boomer lore is where he comes back) but the fusion is too overwhelming memory wise

the one who taught himself redstone out of sheer boredom waiting around for phil to come home.

would make redstone powered trinkets for phil and thrived on the praise he recieved for it

uhhh idk theres probably others like sam bucket but thats a whole other can of worms involving his alt bodies and how his consciousness splits between them and whatever.

that's RANBOO'S netherite.

and that motherfucker thinks he can take it. so you set his shit straight and beat the everloving shit out of him with the broadside of your axe. He throws it but you keep going bc you're fucking pissed. the audacity. you can't BELIEVE him. he starts screaming for you to stop and that's when tubbo and eret step in to make sure you aren't going to actually just kill him.

technically started forming alongside warden after tommy's death.

took most of those memories with him after being presumed dormant, later resurfaced as prisoner when dream weaponized his guilt during his stay in the prison to convince him he belonged there.

Partially regressed most of the time (feels like a misbehaved puppy. how dream treated him most of the time. even gave him a dog bed to sleep in.)

guilt holder for every fucking action he's ever taken. memories forced to resurface by Dream.

Dream used his fuzzy memory as a means of gaslighting him. Has no recollection of anything dream said about hurting tommy in exile, only what dream said while in the prison.

convinced the only one who would ever forgive him is Dream. fucking terrified of everyone except dream. except he still is scared of dream but less so than everyone else

thinks the prison stay was only a week or two, was actually 2 months. distresses him when told the truth bc "dream wouldn't lie about feeding me every day..."

later down the line probably changes name. unsure what to.

he can be seen during Dream's visit to Foolish shaking and terrified for his life (being murdered was so so scary but being dream's friend isnt so bad! hes an honest guy! he says rude things about tommy though and he doesn't quite remember why that feels wrong...)
