Chapter Text
Darkiplier: At first Mark had struggled to accept the fact that the Character’s he created became real with the love and care the fans showed. At first it scared Mark when Dark started to show up in his mind and more and more in the video’s without Mark portraying him. But it had terrified Mark more when he woke one morning to find Dark stood at the bottom of his bed just staring at him wearing the clothes that Mark had worn in ‘Don’t Blink’, but he also had a slight red and blue pulse around him, thought faint Mark could see it but Dark never explained why it was there when Mark had never portrayed him with it and no fans had ever drawn him like that. But as Mark got know Dark he realized that actually the Dark entity wasn’t as bad as he seemed but he was very protective of Mark.
Wilford Warfstache: Wilford came next, he was exactly how Mark had portrayed him in ‘The Fall Of Slender Man’ even down to the pink mustache, but like Dark occasionally Wilford would have a pink outline around him and sometimes he seemed as if there was something lying just bellow the surface that he couldn’t reach but it was causing him horrible emotional pain. Dark seemed to know what that pain was and often seemed sad when he thought about it, but again he wouldn’t say what it was. Dark and Wilford were fast friends with Wilford saying that Dark reminded him of someone but he couldn’t remember who, Dark locked himself away in his room for three days after that.
Wilford loved Mark and often snuggled up to him when the emotional torture became to much, even if he couldn’t remember the reason behind it. Mark would run his hand through Wilford’s black hair until the reporter had fallen asleep and often Dark would find both Wilford and Mark asleep on the couch and would roll his eyes before lifting Wilford’s legs onto his own lap and the three would sleep peacefully for a change.
Santaplier: Santa was the next ego to emerge and he hated everything to do with Dark but he seemed to dote on Wilford which Mark found creepy and it made Dark ridiculously angry at times. Santa didn’t stay around for long before moving to the North Pole to create himself a hide out and live with his ‘elves’.
King of the Squirrels: King was of course the next ego to come along he was very skittish and scared of most things, and he hated being cooped up inside for long periods, but due to where Mark lived and the nature of the ego’s poor King couldn’t go outside during the day. Due to this Dark seemed to purchase a manner that he seemed strangely familiar with and moved Wilford and King into the manner with him. King loved the manner as it had a large Forrest where he spent most of his time with the squirrels earning their trust and once he did he became there king. King was very fast and really good a climbing he was also stronger then he looked due to climbing trees all day. King would return to the manner covered in peanut butter with a grin on his face and covered in cuts and bruises before taking a shower and taking some food up to his room for the night. King preferred to be alone but would find time to spend with Mark, Dark and Wilford just getting to know the family he was made into. He had even met Santaplier a few times, and that had been enough for the skittish ego.
The Author: The next ego to appear Mark had never regretted creating someone more then he had in that moment. The Author was evil as evil comes he tortured King and Mark, the only ones he wouldn’t touch was Mark and Dark themselves. The Author used his metal bat to kill half the squirrels under King’s rule which had devastated the poor ego as he had had to watch the massacre due to the Author having tied King up using his powers of the written word to make things happen. He tortured Mark by writing down he most horrific dreams he could which had left Mark fearing sleep to the point that he wouldn’t sleep until he physically collapsed, in the end Dark took it upon himself to protect Mark from his dreams. Soon the Author got the hint and left Mark alone and he eventually got the hint to leave King alone when Wilford almost shot the Author protecting King. The Author made himself a falling down shack in the forest on the opposite side of where King lived and that was where he stayed, he never left again. . . not until much later when something happened that no one expected.
Babyplier: Baby was the next ego to arrive and it had terrified Mark to find a toddler no older then two at the bottom of his bed one morning after playing his series of ‘Among the Sleep’. The toddler had been wearing the blue star footed pajamas and all, he even looked exactly like Mark had when he had been two years old. But when the baby opened his mouth it shocked Mark even more because the baby sounded exactly like adult Mark and acted exactly like adult Mark it was like having a grown man trapped in a babies body, later on Mark would liken Babyplier to that of Boss Baby without the suit.
Silver Shepherd: Silver was the next to arrive along with his crime fighting buddy Ibis. Ibis didn’t stay with the other Iplier’s he went and moved in with his creator Daniel while Silver went to live in the Manner. Silver struggled a lot at first to fit in but once he became comfortable around the occupants of the manner he shed his Superhero disguise and became his civilian one instead, only he was much less arrogant that how Mark had portrayed him. Even though Silver’s civilian persona already had a name the occupants of the manner just referred to him as Silver which the hero didn’t mind.
Google: The next ego to arrive had of course been Google and the android had almost killed Mark when he arrived having blamed Mark for his constant glitching and his inability to do anything when someone said the words “Ok Google” in his presence. Luckily Dark had been staying over that night and he had disabled the android before transporting him to the manner to fix the glitching. Google became more powerful but more accepting of his creator and the other ego’s that lived in the manner, although he did almost kill the Author when he stumbled upon him on the security camera’s just standing on the edge of the Forest watching the manner in an unnerving way. Unfortunately for the android the Author just wrote him down as his battery becoming to low and the android had just frozen in place allowing the Author to escape. Google had been stuck there on critical battery until King came to the house to go to bed. King had rushed Google inside and plugged his charging lead into the back of his neck before laying him down and tucking him in. Dark checked on Google the following morning to find the android angrily pacing his office mumbling about number and such. Dark explained who the Author was and what he could do and Google made it his mission to discover away to disable him whilst also working on security for the manner and upgrades for himself.
Bim Trimmer: Bim had been the next ego to arrive, turning up in Mark’s bedroom just as all the other ego’s had and Mark had woken up to find Bim’s grinning face right above his own. Mark may have broken Bim’s nose for that which Bim still used as blackmail when he wanted something. Bim was exactly how he had been portrayed, but with a slight vulnerability to him that many didn’t get to see. Wilford took Bim under his wing and began to tutor him in how to be the best damn game show host ever and Bim took it in his stride. Bim eventually became so comfortable with his new family that he actually told them his most deepest darkest secret, the fact that he liked the taste of human meat. King had been terrified and didn’t return to the manner for a week and he only returned when he realized that he was being cruel to his new brother and he returned to find Bim depressed and down trodden because he thought he had messed up. King and Bim soon became close as well and were hardly seen without the other. Unless King was with his squirrels and Bim was with Wilford that is.
Ed Edgar: Ed had been the next ego to arrive and Mark wished that his fans hadn’t latched onto Ed the way they had due to his unsavory job. But as Mark got to know Ed he realized how much he did actually care for the kids that came into his care. Ed didn’t steal them like many thought he did in-fact they were babies that had been abandoned or their mother’s had died in birth, they were all orphans. Ed wanted them all to find good homes and loving families and he some how roped Google into helping him vet each prospective family that he came across. Ed did charge for the babies to be adopted of course but he did it all legally, no one knew how he managed that but Mark had a feeling that Google had been the reason behind that as well.
Yandereplier: Yandere was the next Ego to appear and Mark was terrified of her. Yandere informed the other egos and Mark that she was really a woman trapped in a mans body and they all accepted this. Yandere seemed to latch herself to Dark when she arrived, but more that see treated him like a father figure rather then her senpi of the month. Some how when Yandere arrived the school from the game she came from also appeared as did the students. Yandere attended the school and got good grades to impress not only her senpi of choosing but to impress Dark as well. Yandere was a brilliant cook, cleaner and all around was like a house wife from the 50’s but with a more modern attitude (if slightly crazy). Wilford had taken to Yandere immediately much like he had with Bim and had been slightly disappointed that she chose Dark over him but he wasn’t to bothered.
Dr Edward Iplier: Edward was the next ego to come into existence and spent the whole time complaining about his life to Mark and then declaring that Mark was going to die. Eventually Iplier became board and also joined the egos at the Manner, where he proceeded to proclaim them all dead as well. Then Mark reincarnated him years later during both Markiplier TV and during one of his charity live-streams. Edward became less of the bad news doctor and more of a doctor with compassion, although he was also a sarcastic bitch at times he was actually a competent Doctor, not that he hadn’t been before but now he just seemed more so.
Chef Caesar Iplier: Chef came next, he had scared the shit out of Mark when he woke up one day to the smell of breakfast cooking only to find Amy still beside him in bed. Mark had snuck downstairs to find Chef at the counter making pancakes (just like in the video he had been created from). Chef was a quite ego, the complete opposite as to how Mark portrayed him, and often went hours without speaking and actually once went three whole days without speaking. But he was always in the kitchen making something and often experimenting as well. Chef learned a lot from Yandere and Yandere learned a lot from Chef as well using her new recipes on her Senpi.
Artiplier: The next ego to arrive was actually the first ego with a different country of origin and that was Artie. Mark woke up to find the Frenchman at the base of Mark’s bed painting Mark and Amy sleeping. Mark had been so creeped out that he made Artie destroy the painting. Mark explained to Artie why he couldn’t just paint people when they were asleep without them knowing about it first, Artie had apologized but Mark knew he didn’t really understand what he had done wrong. As soon as Mark took Artie to the Manner the artist seemed to be drawn to the quite Chef and the two often spent hours in silence in the kitchen together with Artie sketching (he used his Aura to produce holographic images of what he wanted to sketch) while Chef cooked. Chef would often get Artie to be his taste tester is Yandere wasn’t around and Artie found himself creating more and more art about food or of Chef himself. For the first Christmas Artie celebrated with the egos he created a portrait of each of them which they all had in their respective rooms.
Mark-Bop/Weatherman Jim/Newscaster Jim/The Host: Then came to horrific day that would be forever burnt into everyone's memories. Mark had been visiting the manner to introduce the most recent egos: Weatherman Jim, Newscaster Jim and Mark-Bop to the other egos. The egos welcomed the new comers with open arms, even though many of them had undergone their own transformations:
Dark was now much older looking with gray skin and his aura was more pronounced, he now looked exactly how he was portrayed in Markiplier TV.
Wilford now wore the yellow and pink combo with the bowtie and suspenders and his hair was now pink on the top.
King now wore the red robes and the crown when he was out of the house instead of the jeans and tee he wore originally.
Google now glitched less but he was much still the same.
The egos even accepted the fact that Mark-Bop couldn’t actually talk and could only make sounds to words he wanted to say so they all (including Mark) took it upon themselves to learn sign language so that Mark-Bop could communicate. Google even created a little device that looked like a calculator that allowed Bop to type what he wanted to say and it would read them out for him, Google had even programmed it to sound like Mark.
As the group moved out into the garden they found someone familiar collapsed out on the lawn of the manner. It was the Author, but he was different he seemed scared and was gripping his hair with his hands as he looked accusingly at Mark. Then his face split into a grin as he rose to his knees and to the horror of everyone he produced a knife out of no where, the older ones moved in-front of Mark and the more vulnerable eogs to shield them, but instead of the Author attacking them he turned to knife on himself, but then he started muttering and his eyes widened as the knife flew from his hand and embedded itself in a tree far from where the Author was. By this time Silver had ushered Mark and the vulnerable egos inside leaving only Dark, Wilford and Dr Iplier outside with the Author. Wilford would later explain to them all that the Author had began to mutter things about getting the freak away from him pointing to someone they couldn’t see and then calling out to the ‘others’ to save him. When they had asked him who the others were he had told them they were more egos, more egos who had yet to come. Then the Author reached into his eye sockets with his fingers and yanked his eyes clean out of his sockets and he began muttering again chocking on the blood pouring down his face and the knife appeared in his hand once more and he just cut the optic nerve attaching his eyes to his sockets and the eyes rolled to the floor while the Author just laughed before he collapsed.
Later once the Author awoke he explained that it had been his transformation from the Author to the Host, another ego portrayed in ‘Markplier TV’ that had never been explained before and fans had latched onto the theory that he had once been the Author and now it was true. Mark had been horrified as had the egos but slowly and surly they began to trust the ego now known as the Host.
Bing/Mini Bing/ Google Search (Red)/Google Drive (Green)/Google Chrome (Yellow) :
The next ego that arrived in Mark’s room was an unconscious Bing. Mark rushed him to the manner in hopes that Google could figure out what was wrong and fix him only to find Google updating exactly like he had during the most recent Google video ‘Google gets an Upgrade’ and sure enough one Google suddenly became four. Mark managed to convince them to help Bing only to watch as he to split into two versions of himself, only the second Bing was tiny and Mark realized that Mini Bing had also become a thing. The androids all seemed to hate each other, all except Google Chrome (yellow), he seemed the most human of the Google androids. But eventually they lernt to get along.
Reporter Jim/Cameraman Jim: Then came along Reporter Jim and Cameraman Jim, as well as the last update of Wilford and Dark; their backstories. Dark had explained to Mark that Dark himself and Wilford had actually once been real people before they became Mark’s egos as had Reporter Jim and Cameraman Jim and he explained what happened and why himself and Wilford had become who they were. Mark portrayed this in ‘Who Killed Markiplier’ also meaning that the two Jim’s came alive as well. The original Jim’s welcomed the new Jim’s with open arms and took care of their younger/older brothers.
Dr Cliffton Plier: The next ego to come along was Cliffton, the therapist. Another ego that liked to talk about nonsense and liked trying to fix everyone's problems but he was really a nice guy. Cliffton liked to listen and couldn’t stand seeing any of the egos upset or angry and would always try and find a way to help them. The only egos he could never get though to were Dark and Wilford. Cliffton became a confident for Mark himself when he was going through hard times, much like when he lost Daniel. Mark talked for hours to Cliffton about it much like Silver had done talking about Daniel’s ego Ibis who had been his partner and best friend.
Reynolds Voorhees/ Derek Derekson/Eric Derekson: Then the last three egos came along, but they didn’t last as three for long. Reynolds was a nice guy with a thick New York accent and seemed to find a confident in Ed for some reason, the guy was nice and got along with everyone and he seemed really protective of Eric, another ego who had been created at the same time.
Eric was a timid and shy ego who was even more skittish then King had ever been. Eric was also missing both his legs from just bellow the knee due to the bus accident that had killed his siblings. Eric was also prone to panic attacks which both Dr Iplier and Dr Plier were trying to control without the need of medication. But the worst of it was the physical signs of abuse all over the terrified boys torso and back. Bruises caused by the boys own father another ego by the name of Derek Derekson.
Derek only lived in the manner for a week before Mark noticed something was wrong with the way he treated Eric and he cornered Eric to talk to him about it only to startle the poor boy into an anxiety attack so strong he passed out. Eric woke to find himself in the clinic naked from the waist up hooked up to a heart monitor and an oxygen tank with his bruises uncovered for anyone to see. Needless to say Derek had not survived the night when the ego’s found out what he had done. Eric now goes to Dr Plier once a week to talk to him about everything he went through with Derek and to help him grieve the loss of his siblings and his own injuries caused by the crash. Eric is getting better now and seems to have formed a bond with Wilford and Dark who both deemed themselves Eric’s protectors much like they did with Babyplier, Yandere and Mark-Bop.
