"He has Michael..."

Ranboo (full name "Ranboo_Beloved", né "Ranboo My Beloved" ) is the thirtieth member of the Dream SMP, joining on November 27, 2020. He previously planned on running for president of L'Manberg in the cancelled February 2021 election, and lived in the house commissioned by Ghostbur in L'Manberg.

Following the destruction of L'Manberg, Ranboo's home was destroyed, along with most of his allegiances. After hiding his pets in his panic room, he was contacted by Philza who asked if he needed a place to stay. Ranboo took him up on his offer, and lived in the arctic with Phil and Technoblade, as well as with his husband Tubbo and son MICHAEL in Snowchester.

After he was killed on November 28 2021 by Awesamdude, he became a ghost named Boo or "Ghostboo", as dubbed by fans. The loss of Ranboo's other two lives has not been explained; it is possible that Ranboo always had one life, like Philza, or that he lost his first two lives prior to joining the server. A tweet on his ARG account, Z, seems to suggest that he had 3 lives.

Appearance
Ranboo is a half-enderman with one green eye and one red eye. Half of his face is black (enderman) and half of his face is white/grey (Unknown). He is 8 feet 5 inches tall, but said to be around 6'7 most of the time. He also has hair, as confirmed by Ranboo himself. He wore a dark gray suit with a red necktie, gray pants, a golden crown, and gray shoes.

He has stated that he has scars on his cheeks from crying, due to his enderman biology causing tears (water) to hurt him.

Biology
Ranboo has problems with his short-term memory, and is sometimes unable to recall facts that happened a short time ago. Ranboo claims that he can remember certain details about events, but the rest is a blur to him. He is best able to remember emotions, or events that had strong emotional value to him, whether good or bad. An example of this happening is when he remembered when Tommy and him burned George's house which led to Tommy's exile.

These memory problems apparently cannot be fixed through methods that work on normal humans, as discovered when Tubbo made an attempt to do so in Snowchester. The amount of truth within this conclusion is unclear, though, as Tubbo's supposed proficiency in brain science is dubious at best. It is possible that his memory issues are genetic as they seem to have been passed down to his descendant Ranbob. His memory has been steadily improving since Ranboo started experimenting on his enderwalk state, and he believes that further experiments may be able to completely fix his memory.

Ranboo has said that he does not sleep much. This may be due to his nonhuman traits, or his enderwalk state providing him with most of the rest he needs; though, it could also be caused by stress rather than biology.

Ranboo has told Niki that he does not have eyelids, meaning he cannot blink or close his eyes at all. This was played off as a joke based on Minecraft skins at the time, but was later confirmed by Ranboo to be canon.

According to the items he dropped after being killed by Clarencio, as well as his skin post-death, his blood is both lime green and red. The green blood appears to belong to his ender half while the red blood belongs to his other half. His dual-colored blood may be caused by either a chemical reaction in each half of his body, or by him having two differently-colored circulatory systems.

Enderman half
Ranboo's enderman half is apparent in his dislike for water and eye contact. Water of any kind causes minor pain for him if he is exposed without armor, but it apparently "gets a little risky" if he's exposed for an extended period of time. As such, Ranboo only goes out in the rain when wearing a helmet, and only swims in rivers or oceans when wearing full armor.

He tends to avoid looking directly at anyone's eyes, and can become overwhelmed or unstable by people staring at him, even more so if he's already on edge. This was one of the reasons he lashed out after being outed as a traitor at the failed festival.

Due to endermen being able to pick up blocks, Ranboo is able to collect many different blocks just by mining them with his fist - similar to a tool with a 'silk touch' enchantment, though with a few differences. He can pick up grass, sandstone, normal and infested stone, glass, packed and regular ice, ore blocks, ender chests, and even mob spawners (which turn into pig spawners, as these are considered "default" by the game's code). He is also able to pick up a full cake, even if pieces of it have been eaten, which means he can have an infinite food source as long as he doesn't eat the whole cake. Additionally, beds drop two instead of one, and banners drop nothing.

He shows more of his enderman traits when stressed, such as making enderman sounds, or picking up and moving blocks, which he finds comforting.

Ranboo is able to speak and understand the Ender language even outside of his enderwalk state. He used to have a limited understanding of Ender, only knowing simple phrases and greetings, but was able to relearn the language around April 2021 due to his experiments on the enderwalk state. (His use of the word "relearn" implies he was fluent in Ender sometime in the past, but it is unknown how or when.) He has used Ender to speak to a group of endermen at the bottom of the Disruption Hole, who he refers to as "the council," as well as to speak to Edward before he died.

He is "98% sure" he cannot teleport, although Technoblade jokingly mentioned he might learn in the future. Ranboo planned on using a lab he built to try and learn to teleport using a dispenser filled with arrows, but later decided that he would use the lab as a last-case scenario.

Ranboo has also compared eyes of ender to his own eyes.

Over time, Ranboo has been gaining more enderman traits. The cause of this is unknown, but it is likely related to his enderwalk state, which is also occurring more often.

Unknown half
Ranboo's white half has not been confirmed. When asked if it a ghast, he dodges the question and says that the viewers will find out eventually. Additionally, some of Ranboo's character quirks are traits of his white half, though it's unknown which ones and to what extent.

In the past, Ranboo did not remember what his white half was. However, on June 18, Ranboo described it using just an enderman noise, suggesting that he does now remember what this half is but cannot describe it outside of Ender language. He has explicitly denied a few possibilities for the white half, including white rabbit, wolf, human, and slime.

Enderwalk state
Ranboo sometimes enters what he calls his "enderwalk" state. This state is similar to sleepwalking or dissociation, where he has little awareness of his surroundings, and it may last for hours at a time.

It's unclear what exactly causes this, but the main causes are sudden and intense feeling (such as stress or fear), Ranboo going to sleep, and potentially water. Certain outside factors can cause Ranboo to switch states as well. One of these may be Dream's ":)" smile (shown when Ranboo started enderwalking after Sapnap relayed Dream's message, and when Ranboo woke up after re-reading Dream's "Thank you :)" note), though this is unconfirmed. Philza was also able to wake Ranboo up from enderwalking by punching him.

His enderwalk state is not a different being or different version of himself, but simply himself with all of his memories and more of his enderman abilities. This state is not emotionless or completely hostile - he shows the same care for people close to him (protecting Tubbo and Tommy during the Disc Confrontation, planting flowers to mourn Tommy, etc) and even speaks politely to his friends through Ender language chat messages. However, he is more aggressive than his awake self when provoked, and often quick to attack.

After "waking up", he loses all memory of anything he did while in enderwalk, feeling as if he just passed out and woke up somewhere else. However, the Dream voice in his head claims it can remember everything from when he is in enderwalk. Ranboo also can remember brief flashes of things that have occurred while he was enderwalking, which usually happens suddenly after he finds something that would trigger these memories.

If the Dream voice is to be believed, Ranboo has worked with Dream in this state, doing things such as blowing up the Community House, hiding one of Tommy's discs, griefing Tommy's house, and more. His reasons for helping Dream are still unknown, though it is unknown whether Ranboo has even helped Dream in the first place, as there has never been any physical witness of any interaction between the pair. However, it has been revealed that he has also done other things while enderwalking, such as making a deal with Foolish over a Shulker box.

For an unknown reason, since the Disc Confrontation, his enderwalk state has been "taking over" as he enters the state more often and more of its traits/actions gradually occur in Ranboo's awake self. He sometimes finds himself wandering towards a place only his enderwalk state would know how to get to, or doing things without knowing why he is doing them, as if his enderwalk state is in control of those actions instead. Alongside this "taking over" process, Ranboo has gained more enderman abilities, such as picking up blocks with his hands.

While Ranboo rarely shows his enderwalk state on stream, others have witnessed him in it. This state is largely unaware of surrounding people unless attacked, doesn't seem to have the same aversion towards eye contact as his normal self, and can paralyze people by holding eye contact with them (as demonstrated by an encounter with CaptainPuffy). He also acts somewhat mechanically, turning his head slowly and moving without jumping/sprinting.

During every on-stream appearance of Ranboo's enderwalk state, he does not speak nor write in English, instead using the Ender alphabet for written messages and avoiding verbal communication entirely. Sam described Ranboo's enderwalk as speaking normally during his prison visit to Dream, and Ranboo has written English entries in his memory book while enderwalking, suggesting that this state does have the ability to speak/write English; however, outside of these instances, Ranboo's enderwalk self has only ever communicated in Ender (if at all).

Translations of some of his Ender messages are:
 * "Don't mind me Phil! Just working on some stuff!" / "I just realized you probably couldn't understand Ender, well this is certainly awkward!" - After Phil found him mining nether quartz
 * "Very far away! I am just mining :]" - When asked by Phil where he was
 * "Imagine using a translator, couldn't be me. This was made by the enderwalk gang"
 * "Its grass block time!"
 * "Cringe" - After Antfrost spoke in the Egg's language
 * "Doomed are those who try to run, for it always catches up eventually :)" - When he went into enderwalk state after Sapnap gave him Dream's message

Ender particles
Ranboo is surrounded by floating ender particles similar to the Soot Sprites from Spirited Away that represent his chat, much like Philza's crows. The particles are drawn towards him by something similar to a magnetic force, and cannot go very far away from him. They know what happens while Ranboo is in his enderwalk state, but can't tell him. He has also stated that the "experiments" of a currently unknown nature have helped him communicate with the particles better, and that beforehand he could only understand "random noises" rather than actually talk to them. The particles disapprove of the experiments, but Ranboo tries to reason with them that he is doing the experiments to "find out some things" and that there are also positives to them, such as the fact that the particles are now able to communicate with him better because of them, as beforehand he could only understand "random noises" from them.

According to Ranboo, the particles have been present for one experiment so far, but he has "learned" from the experience and no longer keeps them around for them. He also doesn't let them see the "experiment book" for the same reason.

Ranboo is also capable of sending the particles away with a clap of his hands. This is a reference to his ritual of ending his streams by saying "welp" and clapping once.

Personality
Ranboo is a friendly and polite member of the server. He is one of the more passive members of the SMP, showing hesitance at killing Connor when Tommy asked him to show him the door. He'd rather talk things out than use weapons. He avoids killing endermen, going the lengths to trade with piglins to obtain ender pearls, as killing endermen is essentially murder to him. Additionally, he grows attached to animals very easily, and has one of the higher total pet counts on the server. He tends to adopt new pets on a whim, such as adopting a bunny named Ranbun simply over the fact that it looked like him.

Ranboo is most loyal to his friends and people who have helped him. Rather than having allegiance to a specific country like L'Manberg, Ranboo tries to be loyal to people, thinking that taking sides is what causes all of the problems on the server. However, due to this, Ranboo may seem unloyal or appear as a traitor to other people. He is also very protective of the people he trusts, and will do anything to keep them safe. This is proven when Ranboo sacrifices his life when told by Sam that Michael would be in danger if he didn't comply.

Ranboo succumbs easily to peer pressure, and is aware of it. He is often pressured into doing things he doesn't want to do or that he knows are wrong. Although Ranboo often winds up in awkward situations due to this, he also tends to be forgiving towards people, even those who pressured or wronged him. He is always willing to help people - even sometimes people who he is technically enemies with.

Due to tears being water and therefore hurting him, Ranboo tries to avoid crying. Whenever he gets close to crying, he instead represses his emotions, usually through denial or avoidance. He also talks to himself in second person to calm himself down, but can get carried away doing this.

Flaws
Ranboo's short-term memory and lack of ability to handle peer pressure means that he can often be manipulated to tell the truth, even in cases which would harm some of his friends. As such, it is difficult for him to keep a secret or remember one. Ranboo wishes to establish friendly relations with most people on the server, but in his quest to be on "everyone's side" he often offends or confuses those around him, attempting to be on good terms with both them and the people who have hurt or killed them. He also has something of a moral superiority complex, often seen writing off those who don't share his ideals as "ignorant" or "selfish."

Another of his flaws is his denial. He also sometimes struggles to accept things he's done (usually the ways he's helped Dream in his enderwalk state, or ways he's supposedly betrayed his friends), instead choosing to ignore them and deny they ever happened, which leads to the endangerment of those around him. His memory problems only make this worse, since he can never be completely sure what is real.

D&D alignment
According to Ranboo himself, his character's D&D alignment can be anywhere, and is entirely dependent on his mental stability.

Pre-debut
It is unclear how long Ranboo has been alive, and very little is known about his history, other than that he may have lost two canon lives at some point before joining the Dream SMP.

Before Ranboo had even joined the server, he was planning on running for president of L'Manberg despite never having been there, and as an outsider of the server- writing down his goals, policies, new flag of L'Manberg, presidential logo, and slogan.

SMP debut
Ranboo joined the Dream SMP on November 27, 2020, halfway into his stream by accidentally "hacking" into the server. Upon joining Dream SMP, Ranboo was jokingly killed by Dream. After he respawned, he was welcomed by many members and given a tour from Nihachu. It was later revealed that Ranboo had no clue he would be joining the Dream SMP; Dream had messaged him during the stream asking for his IGN so that he could whitelist him to the server and invite him.

On Ranboo's second day on the server, Tubbo gave him an official tour, during which they made a deal concerning the election - if Ranboo won, he'd make Tubbo his VP, and if Tubbo won he'd make Ranboo his Secretary of State.

Exile Conflict
The same day, after Tubbo had given Ranboo a tour, Tommy called out to Ranboo using the chat in Minecraft, and they met up in the Nether. Ranboo gave Tommy an allium, and he and Tommy then bonded by planting seeds near Tommy's house with them then robbing and griefing George's house. They stored the loot they got in a secret chest below Tommy's tower's meeting room. They planned to pin it on Nihachu. However, she saw the two traveling to George's house when building a flower shop with CaptainPuffy, foiling their plan to blame Niki.

As a cover, Ranboo then met with Fundy and proceeded to create an ice cream business with him. They had a spat with Nihachu and Puffy, as they wanted to establish their shop where the girls were building the flower shop. They planned to hire Punz to protect them, promising him a 90% discount on their ice cream. During the conflict, Ranboo and Niki privately messaged each other trying to find a peaceful resolution. Eventually, the conflict was resolved by a compromise where they'll leave the girls alone if the girls provide them with materials for their shop.

On his third day in the SMP, Tommy was sent to court for the griefing of George's house. George also mentioned that his chat told him Ranboo was in on it too. He was briefly held in a cell but was released after Tommy took all the blame and insisted on his innocence. During the trial, Ranboo provided little detail, as he had forgotten the events due to his memory issues.

Ranboo was the minute man during the meeting with Dream. After Dream threatened to raise the walls to build height if Tommy was not exiled within three days, Tubbo and Tommy had an argument where Tubbo called Tommy selfish. Ranboo stepped in to defend Tommy by admitting that he was an accomplice of the arson and that Tommy defended him in court, something a selfish person would not have done and that Tommy could've blamed Ranboo for all the things they did. Tommy confided in Ranboo after the argument, saying that the real reason he did not want Tubbo to be president was because it would tear them apart.

During Tommy's exile, Ranboo often wrote letters to Tommy. Tommy mostly considered Ranboo a friend at first, but after Dream's manipulation and the letters being intercepted, Tommy started to wonder if Ranboo only contacted him out of pity.

Technoblade's execution
On December 16, 2020, the day of Technoblade's execution, Ranboo was added as a last-minute member of the Butcher Army, due to his involvement in the Tubbo Administration.

While part of the Butcher Army, Ranboo aided the other members in capturing Technoblade and bringing him back to the execution setup. After the Butcher Army regrouped in their meeting room, he joined the other members in changing the target to Dream and was assigned the task of decorating the L'Manberg Festival. However, Ranboo remained passive throughout the entire situation. When the group arrived in front of Technoblade's cabin, he suggested the group should at least try to resolve the issue diplomatically. During the fight against Technoblade, Ranboo did not charge towards him, instead taking a defensive position.

After the Butcher Army ended their day, Ranboo joined Ghostbur in meeting with Technoblade again at his cabin. At first, Ranboo's life was threatened, but upon returning pieces of Technoblade's armor, he was spared and allowed to stay. There, he was questioned by Tommy on his motive for gifting a pickaxe during his exile. Ranboo explained that nothing was done out of pity, and that he only provided the pickaxe because he was in debt. After explaining himself, he assisted Tommy and Technoblade into settling into their homes and preparing for revenge. During this time, Technoblade explained to him how he felt used during the Manberg Rebellion, swaying Ranboo's perception of L'Manberg and the Butcher Army.

Clarencio death
On the same day that Technoblade and TommyInnit were building up their Hound Army in L'Manberg, Ranboo was walking around. While invisible, Tommy attempted to convince Ranboo that he was talking to a llama named Clarencio.

During this time, Clarencio slowly spat at Tommy, but then Tommy went behind Ranboo, causing the Llama to spit at him instead. Lowering his health and eventually managing to kill him. Techno and Tommy then joked in the Minecraft chat that it was canon. Ranboo later stated it was not a canon death, as it wasn't vital to the plot. He has no issue with llamas, however, seeing as he now has a pet llama named Drip Llama and experimented with the creation of the Llarmy.

Christmas message
On Christmas Day, Ranboo traveled to Technoblade's home to deliver him, Phil, and Tommy a seemingly innocent present. However, in the middle, he wrote a book named "CHRISTMAS LMAO," in which the second page contained awkwardly written text that was choppy and improperly written. When putting the first letters of the first four lines together, it spelled "HELP." It is unknown if this was entirely intentional, but the first page having written "READ NEXT CAREFULLY" seems to suggest it was.

What's more, he at first signed the book, but later went back to replace it with an unsigned version. He was very concerned that anybody other than Techno, Phil or Tommy may read it and find the author of the book. What position Ranboo must have been in to decide to write such a message remains unknown.

Decorating the Festival
Days before December 29, when the festival was originally going to take place on the SMP, Ranboo began creating festival games for people to play. He started off with building trident games, where members would need to jump into little pods with tridents. He then started creating different versions of the game, adding rings out of nether-rack. He kept up a positive attitude throughout the decoration process.

Lost Memory Book
On January 3, 2021, Ranboo continued trying to decorate the festival. During this time, he accidentally killed Betty, the ravager near Ponk's Drop-the-Man minigame, with his thorns armor while trying to box her in as part of a "petting zoo." He pretended nothing happened.

When he returned to his house, he realized his special 'Do not read' memory book was missing. He retraced his steps for the day, searching every chest he came across, including the ones by the spider spawner and the massive chunk-wide hole he had made a few days prior (titled "Beeg Hole"). When he failed to find it, he began arguing with himself, questioning why it was out of his inventory in the first place as he never took it out.

His frustration with himself increased as the search continued, and he tried to dismiss any thoughts that someone else had read the book. He cursed himself for his lack of loyalty or moral backbone, and for being a traitor despite being explicitly told to be loyal. He thought about all the secrets the book held, including the location of Technoblade's base, the fact that Ranboo gave his armor back to him, and that he knew all along that Tommy was alive and with Techno. His anxiety continued to climb as he thought about the possible consequences of someone reading the book, combined with L'Manberg's history of executing traitors.

As he walked home, he promised himself that should he ever find the book, he would never lose it again. He questioned how he could give the armor back to someone who only mildly threatened him, betraying the "one country that's given him a home." He searched his chests one last time upon reentering his house, only to find the book in a double chest. He initially relaxed, but then realized that he never put it there and there should have been no possible way it should have moved. His stream ended abruptly after that.

Wither incident
On January 4, Ranboo showed Fundy the ropes of how the Festival games were played, continuing with the progression of the preparatory work.

Later that day, Technoblade and Tommy arrived at the scene in order to force the L'Manbergians into giving his weapons back. They threatened Ranboo and Fundy with a wither - one of many in their arsenal - refusing to back down when Fundy attempted to rationalize with them. Techno spawned the wither, helping Ranboo and Fundy kill it with the promise of his items. Ranboo searched for Techno's weapons hurriedly, returning them to Tommy after the death of the boss mob.

Later, Ranboo became uneasy after recalling the compromised nature of his Do Not Read Book. He constructed a panic room of obsidian near L'Manberg, using it as a safe space to talk to himself and calm down. He placed signs around it, with varying messages, such as "You are fine," as he slowly became aware of Dream's ulterior motives of splitting the SMP members up in order to assume ultimate power. He stated that the idea of L'Manberg in its current state was flawed for this reason, as was every other faction, and that they should've worked together in order to take down Dream.

Though he began to voice doubts about the Green Festival's success, he decided to put it out of his mind, leaving without writing his thoughts down.

Green Festival
During the day for the Green Festival, Ranboo stepped away from the festivities and met up with Technoblade and Tommy in secret in Purpled's Skull Cave. He shared supposed intel with them, claiming that Dream would be at the festival, and explaining that he planned to follow the no-armor laws of L'Manberg. Shortly after his return to the L'Manbergians, Dream interrupted the festival by beginning to place large obsidian walls around L'Manberg again, before telling everyone to follow him. He led Ranboo and the others to what once was the Community House, now blown up, claiming that Tommy blew it up and blaming Tubbo for his link to Tommy through his Mellohi disc. Ranboo watched as Tommy and Techno came in, pleading for Tommy's innocence, and as Tommy and Tubbo proceeded to fight each other.

Later, Dream revealed that Ranboo was actually a traitor to L'Manberg, prompting Ranboo to open his memory book in an attempt to counter Dream's words. Instead, he only found a single line that read ":)," revealing that Dream had taken the book and replaced it without Ranboo's knowledge. Dream gave Tubbo Ranboo's real memory book, letting Tubbo look through it. Tommy promptly apologized to the L'Manbergians, prompting Dream and Techno to threaten the group with the date of the Doomsday War.

Ranboo and the others immediately started preparing, and Fundy asked Ranboo about what Dream had said about him being a traitor. Ranboo explained how he kept his memories in a book, stating that Dream stole his Memory Book somehow without his knowledge - Ranboo didn't know how, since he always kept it on him. He then went on to say that he did not forget who his friends are, and he did not care about countries. He argued with Fundy, growing emotionally frustrated over the discussion, shouting that he wanted to choose people, not sides, and making the assertion that Dream has always had control over L'Manberg, and always will.

Fundy and Eret told him that it is necessary to pick sides when friends fight, and Punz told him that he was just indecisive and selfish. Frustrated, Ranboo told everyone that if they somehow stop Dream from blowing L'Manberg up, he would just do something else. Not listening, Fundy told him that they were there to kill Dream, once and for all, so he couldn't do anything anymore. Nihachu then stepped forward, disagreeing with Ranboo as well. They both argued, leading to Niki frustratedly declaring to him that she no longer cared for L'Manberg. Calming down, Ranboo explained that he'd still help L'Manberg fight, but that he believed that Dream would always have power, and that any preservative efforts they could make on Doomsday would have a temporary effect at best.

The Dream voice
Ranboo headed off to his Panic Room to evaluate the situation alone. He talked aloud with himself, distressing over multiple issues - mostly boiling down to why the L'Manbergians would not listen to him when he said that sides were the cause of all of the server's problems. He then heard what seemed to be Dream's voice abruptly, even though Dream wasn't on the server at the time. The false Dream told him that he betrayed everyone, asking him if he helped Tommy destroy the Community House. Ranboo denied the allegations, becoming more stressed, but "Dream" continued to press Ranboo, declaring that he must have done it. It claimed that he just doesn't remember it, using him burning down George's house and betraying his friends as past examples of bad things he has done.

The Dream voice continued, claiming that he wouldn't have written it down in his memory book if he didn't do it, and that he has no way of knowing. Ranboo asked what he can rely on if not the memory book, causing "Dream" to respond that he definitely couldn't rely on himself, and that it wasn't even real, revealing that this "Dream" was just a voice in Ranboo's head. Taken aback by surprise, Ranboo began to panic, arguing with himself over the likelihood that he destroyed the Community House, questioning himself and having a breakdown. He continued to question himself, ultimately deciding that he would help L'Manberg, and telling himself that Dream is the cause of every problem.

Spiraling, Ranboo shouted that he doesn't know what to do over and over again, before blacking out and making involuntary enderman noises. His consciousness faded to the noise of "Mellohi."

Doomsday
Ranboo woke up again in his panic room. He knew L'Manberg couldn't be saved, so he went to get his pets out of the country before all the chaos. He managed to rescue his pets, Jjjjjjjeffrey, Enderchest, Enderpearl, and Dogboo from the future explosions. Before Technoblade, Phil, Dream, the hound army, and the withers came to L'Manberg to destroy it, he began to question himself, questioning where his allegiances lay, and if it was worth it to stay and fight. Ranboo decided to stay, hoping to fight for the majority of his friends.

Niki came to visit him, apologizing for yelling at him the previous day. However, Ranboo didn't remember her yelling at him. He asked her if she would be fighting alongside L'Manberg, to which she refused to answer. He expressed his doubts on who his friends were, but she consoled him, saying that if Ranboo wanted her to fight alongside L'Manberg, then she would. During the battle, Ranboo bore witness to the entirety of L'Manberg being destroyed by withers. He was disturbed by the image of destruction, and whilst watching on the outskirts, ran into Niki again. He watched from afar, seeing her burn down L'Mantree as well as blowing up some houses, and realized that she had failed to keep her promise to him.

Once everyone from L'Manberg had left the battlefield, Ranboo remained, wandering around the crater and writing in his memory book. He was distraught by everything that had happened, panickily writing in his memory book "I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER" over and over, or expressing his anger towards Fundy and Niki for being "cowards."

When the explosions stopped, Fundy called him. Fundy said that they should team up to take Dream down, wanting to get a bunch of people together to kill him. Disapproving of the idea of making a new side, Ranboo said that Fundy didn't believe in the same ideals, and that he took his advice and instead made justification to make a new entire side. He called Fundy a coward and asserted that he chose the side that was destined to win, yet failed in the end. He believed that Fundy had lost his grip on reality, but decided later that he should apologize for his harshness.

A little bit after his conversation with Fundy, he got into a voice call with Quackity. Quackity told him to take the words he said to heart, explaining that he didn't fully understand why Dream needs this much power. He wanted to join forces, though they were still wary of each other. Ranboo did actually consider his offer, since they wouldn't be creating more sides, but instead using the sides they already have to take him down. He told Quackity that he would make a decision on the proposition later.

After all the chaos, he collected his thoughts over the debris of L'Manberg. He believed that all of the damage that happened to everyone and L'Manberg was his fault, because everything seemed fine before he joined. Looking over the smoking crater, he decided that he didn’t want to remember any of it. He didn’t want to remember all of the relationships that he had made (and supposedly broken), his home, or the place that had given him hope before it was all blown to bits. Fortunately, he hit upon an idea on how to forget.

Ranboo went back to the panic room, where he almost burned his memory books, an act which would have almost certainly erased most of the known events (and his friendships) over time. He then changed his mind, realizing that burning the memory books would be giving up, and giving up would make him weak. Ranboo then brought all his pets that were outside attached to a fence into his panic room.

Then, Philza joined his call and asked if Ranboo needed a place to stay. Ranboo accepted the offer, since L'Manberg was destroyed, and he no longer had a place that would accept him. Phil met up with him at L'Manberg, and took him back to Technoblade's cabin, where he told Ranboo that Technoblade said he shouldn't stay in his cabin since his enderman, Edward, lived there, and it could be awkward. Phil told Ranboo that he could make another house for him, and he accepted his offer. Though he was avidly against choosing sides, Ranboo stated that he'd finally picked a side that he believed to be the right one, and planned to properly decline Quackity's offer thanks to his new position of strength.

He explored the arctic north, looking at everything around while talking to himself. After being properly welcomed by Philza, Ranboo stated that he was relieved, and that he felt as if Philza saved him from his moral dilemma, as he was finally content. He logged out in the arctic, saying, "This will be alright, It will be OK. It will definitely be OK."

Following after Phil, Ranboo stood by for the majority of the resurrection as a third party, stepping in to "act" as Tubbo (who had no lines) in the ritual proper. He helped the group as best as possible, but the attempt session ultimately failed.

Ranboo tagged along with Phil, Eret, and Tubbo on a quest to a woodland mansion, in order to secure a supply of Totems of Undying in order to use on the second resurrection attempt. He bought the map from one of their villagers, and helped lead the journey, bonding with the road trip members as they went. He returned home in a good mood, stating that he felt rather content.

Revisiting the Panic Room
Ranboo decided to revisit his panic room in order to fetch his pets and have the possibility of them returning to the Arctic with him.

However, as soon as he entered, he began to stare at the signs on the walls, and the smiley face left in his memory book. Because of this, the hallucinated voice of Dream from after the Festival returned to talk to him. He questioned why it was here again, to which it replied that it never left, as it's a part of himself - just that Ranboo is only willing to listen to it when in the panic room.

Ranboo continued to have a conversation with the voice. It accused him of blowing up the Community House, like after the Festival, but this time added that he helped Dream gather the TNT to blow up L'Manberg, and helped him in other ways he couldn't remember. He was very reluctant to believe these claims until the voice suggested that he mine one of the obsidian walls of his panic room. He did so, and found a hidden chest containing two TNT blocks. This made him begin to spiral and freak out again, saying he didn't blow up the Community House and that he would never intentionally hurt his friends.

The voice continued to blame him and assert that he betrayed everyone. It added that he even handed Dream the memory book himself. It finally left him with the words "You just have to try and remember why - you just have to think. You have to remember, just remember, remember, remember, remember..."

Ranboo stated he couldn't remember and he didn't know how to. He repeatedly told himself that the chest and the voice must not have been real, but mined the same block and saw the chest again, proving it was real. He began to spiral again, telling himself "why can't you remember" and "just think." He begged himself to remember what he did, but passed out once more, making involuntary enderman noises. The end screen of this stream was an animation of Dream's signature smiley face with Ranboo's crown drawn on top.

Confrontation
After a couple of days, Ranboo went back into the panic room to confront the voice again, to tell it that it wasn't real and was just lying about the supposed things he's done. When confronted, it insisted that he had indeed helped Dream, once again telling him to remember.

Ranboo continued to deny this, until the voice pointed out that he often passes out and wakes up in a different place. It revealed that these periods of time where he supposedly passed out are actually just periods of time where he entered a state similar to sleepwalking (later named enderwalk), and that he was unable to remember anything he'd done afterward - the voice, however, could remember everything. It said that since it is a part of him, and it could remember, then Ranboo himself could remember as well.

With focus and the voice's help, he was able to recall what happened last time he was in his sleepwalking state, which was after his last visit to the panic room. He had met with Dream in the Nether after leaving the room, and Dream had entrusted one of Tommy's discs to Ranboo, saying that he trusted "this state" of Ranboo to keep it safe.

Ranboo traveled back home to hunt for said disc, telling himself that it couldn't have been real, and that if he found the disc, it would prove all of the voice's past claims right. He dug out a lot of dirt in front of his shack and finally came across a chest underground. After a lot of apprehensions, opening the chest revealed a copy of what appeared to be Tommy's prized Cat disc. Ranboo passed out once more, making involuntary enderman noises.

The next day, after returning and checking the chest, Ranboo found that the disc was gone. The only thing left inside was a note named "Thank you :)."

Adjusting to the Arctic
Ranboo spent some time building a home and gathering resources near Phil and Techno, developing a wheat and cow farm as well as getting two parrots and a bunny. He also created a "comfort room" under his home made of netherrack, in contrast to his old panic room. The netherrack used for this build has been assumed to be the same netherrack used to grief Tommy's house. It was implied that Ranboo had something to do with it.

In thanks for allowing him to stay with them, Ranboo crafted an axe for Techno which could substitute for the Axe of Peace. Techno tried to act aloof and indifferent towards the gift, trying to preserve his "tough" image, but he clearly was touched by this gesture and Ranboo's consideration. They went on a journey to a woodland mansion together, where Ranboo recovered one Totem of Undying, giving him a grand total of three.

Later, Ranboo decided to admit to both Phil and Techno that he tends to do irrational things while "sleepwalking" (enderwalking) that he forgets later, that he may have blown up the Community House, and that he somehow came into the possession of a Cat disc which he believed to be the one Tommy wanted. He expected that these things would be seen as a betrayal in their eyes and that they would ask him to leave; however, neither of them minded at all and Ranboo felt relieved that they still accepted him. Later, Phil helped him recover his pets from his panic room, and Ranboo was able to retrieve them without any problems.

Disc Confrontation
Ranboo was among Tommy and Tubbo's friends who gathered to say goodbye to them before they left for the Disc Confrontation, and was a part of the group that came through the portal to defend them. When Dream confessed that he blew up the Community House, something Ranboo believed he himself had done, he expressed confusion over this in his memory book. He also noted that Dream was planning to kidnap his cat Enderchest, and wondered whether him supposedly doing the same bad things as Dream made him a villain.

On March 12, it was revealed that he was in his enderwalk state during the actual Disc Confrontation and did not remember anything besides what was written in the memory book.

Temporary freedom
Later on the same day, Ranboo once again thought about Dream's claim of blowing up the Community House, and decided that he had to visit Dream in the prison and ask for clarity on the situation. However, a few minutes later, he started hearing the Mellohi music disc, though without any apparent source that could be playing it. He decided it must somehow be coming from the panic room, and quickly traveled there to remove it. After he arrived and stopped the music, he again thought about the things he'd supposedly done to help Dream, then realized that Dream must have covered for him by taking the blame for the Community House's destruction.

He left the panic room after more thinking and re-reading his memory books, but started hearing Mellohi again once he was back at his house, despite the fact that he'd already stopped the disc. Making his way back to the room, he decided to confront the panic room voice, or whatever was causing this. The music didn't stop once he entered, or when he destroyed the jukebox inside. He stared at his memory book and started yelling for the voice, frustratedly asking whether it had anything to say for itself, but it still wouldn't answer and the music still played. He continued calling out for it, this time begging for some kind of closure, anything that meant he wouldn't have to visit Dream in prison.

With a final shout asking for any answer at all, the music stopped playing, and Ranboo was able to edit the first page of his memory book, which he'd been unable to do before. He had regained control over himself and over the book, becoming "free." He decided that he didn't help Dream do any of the things the voice had said, and it was all just lies. He still planned to visit Dream, not for closure, but instead to stand up to him and "tell him exactly what he did, and exactly who he hurt by doing that." He stated that it was a new chapter - a new book - and turned to find a third, newly-created memory book inside the panic room's chest.

At the end of the stream, a message was shown in Morse code through Dream's smiley face flashing on and off screen, which translates to "IT ISN'T OVER."

New book
Since freeing himself from the voice, Ranboo gradually gained more enderman traits. He was able to pick up almost any block with his hands as if he had silk touch, and tended to pick up and place grass blocks, which he found relaxing. His memory started to improve as well, since he was under less stress. But along with these new developments, he started to enderwalk more. It's still unclear what exactly he has done while enderwalking, but he'd often wake up with far less pickaxe durability that he had before, and most likely was the one who moved his Haste beacon somewhere else, meaning he had been mining. He also described feeling as if he needed a lot of coal for something, and at one point Philza found him mining nether quartz.

At some point not long after Dream's imprisonment, Ranboo visited him while enderwalking. He completely forgot about the visit afterward, but evidence of it remained in Awesamdude's prison forms, which were signed by Ranboo and overwritten in Ender language during the visit.

Prison nightmare
On January 30, Ranboo went to visit Dream in Pandora's Vault like he had planned to after the Disc Confrontation. Awesamdude led him through the prison's security measures, making the exception for Ranboo to bring his memory book inside.

Upon reaching the cell, Ranboo was happily greeted by Dream, since they were, in Dream's words, "best friends." He thanked Ranboo for the visit and for his help in the past (blowing up the Community House and protecting Tommy's disc). Ranboo decided that Dream must just be trying to manipulate him, but Dream's tone shifted as he replied that Ranboo did help him. Dream also started to refer to himself in the third person - just like the panic room voice would.

While Ranboo continued denying the accusations, it gradually became more apparent that this was a hallucination, with the cell's chest being completely full of copies of Ranboo's "Do not read" book and the first page of his current book being replaced with a ":)" smile. Eventually, "Dream" stated that it was not the real Dream, fully revealing itself to be the panic room voice. Hearing this, Ranboo started to panic and insist that it had to be the real Dream, as he thought he had gotten rid of the voice, but the voice continued accusing him. It ended the conversation by repeating that it isn't real, and "Dream" disappeared from the cell, along with the voice.

Ranboo began to freak out, the screen wobbling as he tried to reassure himself over and over that he had gotten rid of the voice. The prison crumbled around him, causing him to fall to his death (though this was likely not a real death). The glitching image of Dream's smiley face appeared once again, this time without the crown - though the crown soon flashed on and off screen in Morse code that translates to "NOT FREE YET."

Fourth Memory Book
After his nightmare, Ranboo decided to check the prison and make sure none of it had actually been real. He asked Sam if he could visit, not to see Dream, but just to investigate the inside of the prison. Sam allowed him in, and asked him the introductory questions, but when he got to the question of when Ranboo's last visit was, Ranboo stated that he had never visited before. Since he had actually visited while enderwalking, Sam argued with him over this, eventually concluding that if Ranboo was going to lie about not visiting, then he should leave. Ranboo kept insisting that he never visited, but Sam replied that he had signed forms from Ranboo proving otherwise, and once again told him to leave.

Sam later met up with him again after finding the signed forms he mentioned. They had been erased and rewritten in Ender language, as well as signed under his name, proving to Ranboo that he did indeed visit the prison while enderwalking. Sam tried to ask what Ranboo was doing, but Ranboo repeatedly avoided the question and stated that he couldn't tell Sam what was happening. Ranboo told Sam to never let him into the prison again, to which Sam agreed, and the two ended their conversation.

Ranboo remembered that Sam had apparently allowed him to take a memory book into the prison, and tried to check if he'd written down what he and Dream talked about, but couldn't find anything about it in his three memory books. He realized that his enderwalk state must have had a fourth memory book to write in, and that this book (depending on when it was created) could contain evidence of all of the ways Ranboo has been helping Dream in the past, like blowing up the Community House. He decided that no one else could be allowed to find this book, since if they did, he might be locked up in the prison. He still hasn't found the book, but since no one else knows where it is either, he's currently opted to just not worry about it.

Puffy's visit
On February 8, Ranboo awoke from enderwalking after re-reading the thank-you note left by Dream. Soon after, CaptainPuffy visited Techno's house, having received a note leading to its coordinates and requesting a meeting. Since Puffy is associated with Snowchester, Ranboo started to worry once seeing her that conflict was being brought to his new home, even though he'd moved there specifically to avoid conflict. He wasn't sure who sent the note, but figured that it had to have been either Phil or Techno, meaning one of them was keeping secrets from him, which made him worry even more. He felt defeated that the same things that had happened in L'Manberg were happening again, and realized that he might have to leave the arctic if things got bad enough. However, he quickly avoided this thought and decided to instead focus on building up his shack into a proper house.

Sapnap's message from Dream
When Sapnap met with Dream in prison, Dream mentioned Ranboo, stating that he "doesn't visit anymore," implying that he had visited prior and on multiple occasions during his enderwalking state, before Sam stopped allowing him inside. During Sapnap's visit, Dream asked him to deliver a message to Ranboo, being a simple ":)," which Sapnap agreed to as "it doesn't mean anything."

Sapnap later came to talk to Ranboo at the Community House in order to deliver the message. After being told this message, he immediately went into an enderwalking state, leaving Sapnap confused as to where he had gone. Ranboo later told Sapnap a message himself in Ender, translating to "Doomed are those who try to run, for it always catches up eventually :)."

Blood Vines
Since the beginning, Ranboo had always had somewhat of a dislike towards the Egg, for he didn't understand it and thought the blood vines were annoying because of them getting in the middle of paths. At one point he wanted to see the Egg, but freaked out when he had to go into the holy water, which would've hurt him. He never had much interaction between the Egg and the people controlled by it. He didn't seem affected by the Egg and couldn't hear the Egg's voice, and as such was often the one to cut down vines that grew on paths. The closest he originally got to the Egg was making a hole in the wall with Tubbo to spy on the Egg, and vandalizing it with signs.

When BadBoyHalo brought Techno to see the Egg on February 13, Ranboo knew of its dangers, so he spied on them in the background. He was spotted by a suspicious BadBoyHalo multiple times. Techno went extremely close to the Egg with Bad, and Ranboo watched them from a distance. Eventually Bad caught Ranboo. Techno tried to distract Bad so Ranboo could escape by running away, which didn't work because Ranboo didn't move. Bad made him go near the Egg and even tried to pressure him into getting on it, which he almost did, but Techno and Puffy convinced him not to. Bad eventually gave up on the idea of bringing them to the Egg and trying to instantly make them love it, so he brought them above to his meeting room. He asked what Ranboo wanted to do in regards to the Egg and Ranboo replied "To not get involved," but Bad said that this wasn't what the Egg wanted. Eventually a fight broke out, however it was a three against one, leaving Bad at a disadvantage. While fighting, Bad broke a hole that led to an obsidian trap on top of the Egg, and Ranboo stumbled into it and couldn't escape because he didn't have ender pearls or a trident. In the trap, he seemed to have been finally hearing the Egg, saying "I didn't do that, no. stop, stop. it's telling me...." Techno then threw down his trident and a few ender pearls to save him. After a few throws, Ranboo escaped. However, he was extremely shaken up, apparently so stressed to the point where he forgot everything the Egg said, but he still remembered the events that happened like falling into the hole. Puffy and Techno officially started the resistance against the Eggpire called "Pro-Omelette" which Ranboo seemingly joined.

Puffy bid them farewell and left them to go back. While he and Techno made their way back to his cabin, Ranboo told Techno about the Dream voice and asked about the voices Techno hears, but Techno seemed more focused on the journey and gave simple answers.

Ranboo decided he would confront the Egg after the events of the day. He thought that the Egg must not really be able to control people, and the voice he heard while in the hole trap was just a hallucination. After he entered the Egg room and didn't hear anything, he decided he was right. He then considered destroying the Egg, and concluded that if he did, there were two possible outcomes: it releases everyone under its influence, or it kills everyone under its influence. He knew that he couldn't risk killing anyone, and chose against destroying it. However, before he could leave, the Egg spoke to him and called him a traitor.

Realizing that the voice he heard was real after all, he spoke more to the Egg, mostly threatening it. It continued calling him a traitor, but still began showing signs of influencing him, such as making him repair it after it was blown up by a creeper. Once it told him not to trust himself, Ranboo decided he'd had enough and attempted to destroy it, but every piece he broke only damaged him - enough damage that breaking the entire thing would kill him. He left the room after this and thought more about the Egg. He seemed less worried about it, and responded "eh" when asked by Foolish if he liked it, suggesting that it was starting to control him. However, he ultimately decided he should still destroy it, and later started mining netherite for netherite hoes and pickaxes.

After this encounter, he created a list of things to do, mostly centering around how to make the server peaceful again. He decided he would have to get involved and be on everyone's side again, but this time would try to get everyone to understand each others' sides in a sort of "court" to stop the fighting.

More Enderwalk investigation
On February 15, after creating a secret vault in his basement, Ranboo re-entered his house to find that the to-do list he made earlier had been erased. All of the signs were blank except for "Stop conflict," and a new one had been added that said "Figure out what you dont know :)." This is similar to the overwriting of the first pages in his memory books and was likely done by his enderwalk self.

Seeing this new sign, Ranboo thought about the fourth memory book again, and realized that he wouldn't be able to find it on his own. He needed to find someone trustworthy he could tell about his enderwalk state and about the fourth book, preferably someone who wasn't too involved with conflicts on the server and who had kept secrets of their own. He did not decide on who to ask for help.

On February 21, 2021, TNT was detonated outside Pandora's Vault, causing Tommy to be locked inside while visiting. On February 2, 2022, Dream revealed to Sam that Ranboo was the one responsible for the detonation of the TNT. When Sam asked Dream how he knew what happened, due to him at the time being in the prison, Dream replied, "Probably better you don't know."

At one point on February 22, 2021, Ranboo started to collect seemingly random items and moved them to specific spots in his inventory. The first letter of each item spelled out a message: "HE IS IN CONTROL." After the message was complete, Ranboo was confused about what he'd just done, as if he hadn't been doing it completely consciously. It is currently unclear what this message alludes to.

Bee n' Boo
On February 23, Tubbo and Ranboo decided to get "canonically married." Once Jack Manifold took over the Big Innit Hotel, Tubbo and Ranboo were inspired to start building their own hotel together. They created the base of it near Jack's hotel, making Jack somewhat aggressive towards them for being a business competitor, and Tubbo has returned this aggression by trying to claim ownership of Jack's hotel. However, Ranboo seems mostly passive in the whole conflict, instead opting to just work on construction.

Mourning Tommy
After Tommy's final death on March 1, Ranboo and Tubbo saw the death message in chat, and headed over to the prison to make sure everything was okay. They were met by Awesamdude, who told them that Dream had killed Tommy. Ranboo and Tubbo were both shocked and simply returned to working on construction for Bee n' Boo. While Tubbo was in complete denial of the death, Ranboo did seem to accept it as real, but was having trouble processing it.

On March 2, Ranboo spent time reflecting on Tommy's life, recalling the time he and Tommy burned down George's house, and how that led to Tommy's exile and ultimately his death in Pandora's Vault. While collecting red and white flowers, Ranboo realized that a lot of people either only cared about Tommy after his death or saw it as a cause to celebrate and be relieved. He also talked about how he was one of the only self-aware people on the server, since he was more aware of pain than the others and the pain other people went through. Even if he had made some mistakes, he still blamed the adults on the server for not doing anything.

He planted the flowers in front of Tommy's base and remembered his second day on the server where he gave Tommy an allium. He threw an allium flower on the ground as a tribute to this, talking about how living life in a reactionary way wouldn't make you happy, and said goodbye to Tommy as the flower despawned, adding that he considered Tommy a friend.

He went to talk to Sam in front of the Big Innit Hotel and the Bee n' Boo, and Ranboo blamed Sam for not letting Tommy out of the prison, saying he should have changed the protocol. Sam defended himself by saying he was afraid Dream would threaten Tommy's life in exchange for freedom, and Ranboo agreed with this after some arguing. The two of them ended up deciding they would do their best to investigate the reason for the security issue that caused Tommy to be locked in the prison in the first place, and that they were going to kill the person who was responsible.

Sam then wrote a page in Ranboo's memory book that instructed him to blame Sam for Tommy's death, not himself.

Ranboo went to the prison and stated he had to protect his friends, before returning to the Bee n' Boo and meeting Sam Nook, who remained unaware of Tommy's death. Ranboo decided not to break the news to him, and went to sit on the bench outside Tommy's house before going to Tommy's base and finding the chest full of things from when he and Tommy originally robbed George's house, including the allium flower Ranboo had given Tommy when they had first met. Ranboo realized that despite Tommy having made fun of him for it at the time, he had kept the flower, and it had been important to him.

The Syndicate
On March 6, Ranboo was approached by Technoblade, Phil, and Niki after he was caught trying to listen in to their conversation. They cornered him on the side of the mountain next to his house and asked what he knew about anarchy. After some more questioning, he was given an invitation to join the Syndicate. Ranboo accepted, but then wrote in his memory book that he was only doing this to protect his husband, Tubbo, because he believed they would threaten him. He also did this due to the fact that earlier that day, he had found a note in Tubbo's Snowchester mailbox that made him want to protect Tubbo and Michael even more. He also joined because he generally disliked governments, and liked the idea of not being pressured to join meetings.

At the first meeting, Ranboo revealed to the group that Tommy had died, with the group replying that they either didn't believe it, or didn't care. They then discussed topics like The Egg and Snowchester. After Technoblade suggested they visit Snowchester, Ranboo pulled Phil aside to express his worry about Technoblade seeing his adopted son, MICHAEL, who lives in Snowchester in Tubbo's house. Phil agreed to help keep Technoblade away from the child.

At Snowchester, Ranboo got rid of the ladders leading to MICHAEL, and whispered to Tubbo some hints on what not to say. This kept his marriage and child a secret to everyone in the group but Phil, who had been told about it the day before.

Keeping Michael Safe
On March 8, 2021, CaptainPuffy had an idea of giving MICHAEL a zombie piglin friend named MICHELLE. Sam eventually heard of this plan and had the idea of taking the real MICHAEL, hiding him and placing a 'clone' of MICHAEL in his place. Eventually killing the clone in front of Ranboo and Tubbo.

When Puffy and Sam got near Tubbo and Ranboo's home, they logged on and both told them to leave. Both Sam and Puffy left until Sam and BadBoyHalo came up with a plan to drop this MICHELLE from the roof. Puffy noticeably was feeling guilty for the trouble she was causing towards the family so she backed out and tried convincing Sam and Bad to do the same.

Sam argued with Ranboo, trying to persuade him to let MICHELLE into the house. Ranboo exclaims that "This is all I can have, I can't risk anything." He then takes jabs at the recent handling of the recent death of Tommy in the prison. Sam and Bad decide to do it anyway, as MICHELLE is on the roof, Ranboo begins firing shots at them as he sees them as a danger to MICHAEL.

Sam eventually gives up and brings MICHELLE to the house next to them. MICHELLE's origins are unknown.

Tommy's revival
When Tommy was revived and let out of the prison, Ranboo was glad to see him back, albeit confused. He tried his best to treat Tommy normally and be respectful of him, even giving him another allium, although Tommy burned it. Tommy felt betrayed that Tubbo had apparently replaced him with Ranboo as his best friend.

Later, Ranboo reflected on the situation and found himself wandering towards a portal in the Nether - specifically, the one leading to Dream's lair from the Disc Confrontation. When he entered the room, he had no memory of what it was (even less than he normally remembers); however, he soon began hearing the voices of people who had been in the confrontation, and was gradually able to recall the events. He realized that the entire Disc Confrontation had happened while he was in his enderwalk state, which was why he had more trouble remembering it. Seeing how much the state had apparently done already, Ranboo worried about what his enderwalk state might do in the future, not wanting to hurt his friends or MICHAEL.

Having regained this memory, Ranboo also now remembered what Dream had said during the confrontation about being able to revive people, and now knew that Dream must have been the one to bring Tommy back. Thinking more about the implications of death being impermanent, he decided that it wasn't worth being able to bring back the "good guys" if the "bad guys" could just come back as well. He concluded that they had to kill Dream as soon as possible or else they would never be able to get rid of the "villains in this story."

Ranboo wasn't sure how to go about defeating Dream, but spent the rest of the day gathering resources and preparations regardless. He thought about training under Technoblade and Phil, as well as getting Tommy's help, since Tommy was one of the only people who ever fought against Dream. He also said that since he still had three lives, he could "afford to be reckless."

Acquiring wealth
Within some of his non-lore streams in this time, Ranboo worked on gathering lots of resources in order to become the "wealthiest person on the server." He managed to collect a full chest of emerald block stacks, using string from the spider XP farms and sticks from trees he has chopped down to trade with fletcher villagers.

Ranboo also began traveling the server for unexplored Woodland mansions to fill up a barrel of Totems of Undying. He completed this in the early hours of April 10, 2021, and along with the totems he keeps on the wall of his vault for decoration, and the couple he keeps spare in his enderchest, Ranboo now owns over 40 totems of undying, the most on the server.

Easter wealth
While grinding for his villager trades to acquire the wealth, Ranboo and Wilbur Soot named a small white rabbit "Avondeten", meaning 'dinner' or 'evening meal' in Dutch. The rabbit stayed tied to a fencepost in Ranboo's house as he continued grinding and Wilbur left the call. Later, someone in Ranboo's chat pointed out the date, informing Ranboo that he and Wilbur had in fact named a rabbit 'evening meal' on Easter.

Experiments
In addition to his quests for wealth, at some point before April 23, Ranboo started conducting "experiments" on himself to control his enderwalk state. The methods of these experiments are unknown, as well as the exact effects, but some side effects have been shown, such as him relearning the Ender language and him being able to communicate with his ender particles better. Ranboo has also stated that the experiments frighten him, but do not hurt him. He keeps track of the experiments in a book of which only one page has been shown on stream.

Ranboo has told Phil about these experiments, but not their purpose; Phil currently believes they are only intended for Ranboo to build up resistance to water.

Lessons
On April 23, Ranboo awoke in MICHAEL's room and went to meet with Foolish about the progress of the mansion. During their meeting, Foolish thanked Ranboo for making a deal about a "green cardboard box" (likely referring to their agreement over the lime green Shulker box), though Ranboo did not appear to know what Foolish was talking about. Ranboo then recalled a phrase - "Lesson 14: If you have the opportunity to gain a favor, take it." He had no idea where this phrase had come from and started to panic, quickly excusing himself from the meeting with Foolish.

Ranboo tried to think over what had happened, but then remembered another lesson, "Lesson 27," and started panicking once again. Though he at first tried to calm himself by blaming these sudden memories on exhaustion or hunger, he knew that they must be side effects of his enderwalk experiments. He decided that he had to confide in someone to get help, but was soon met with yet another lesson, "Lesson 53: Never fully trust anyone" and changed his mind. He scolded himself for provoking his enderwalk state again when he had been living peacefully.

While Ranboo had only recalled the other lessons as out-of-context phrases, the next lesson "Lesson 94: DO NOT LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" appeared differently. Ranboo remembered it written on a page of a book. He realized after this that these lessons must be excerpts from the fourth memory book, and hurried to the prison, where he asked Sam to let him inside - not as a visitor, but as an inmate. Sam reassured Ranboo that he didn't deserve this, but Ranboo kept insisting he did; however, when he tried to tell Sam what he'd done, he was physically unable to do so because of Lesson 94. When Sam kept refusing, Ranboo begged to be locked in, even going as far as to threaten breaking in and trapping himself, but eventually he backed down and returned to his house in the arctic.

Unable to confide in anyone else, Ranboo turned to himself for answers. He left a question for himself in his memory book - "What am I?" - then created a splash-potion water bottle and splashed it on himself, triggering his enderwalk state. (He later confirmed that the state was triggered by the fear of being hurt by the water, although the water did not actually hurt him as he was wearing armor. )

Red Banquet
On the day of the Red Banquet, although he had not been invited, Ranboo was spotted hiding in the background wearing what seemed to be a blindfold and black cloak. He was not seen by any of the attendees. When he streamed later that day, he collected a series of items which spelled out "I WON" in his inventory (using an Eye of Ender as "I"); he also was missing his memory book and did not remember spying at the Banquet. The meaning of the inventory message is unknown, though it was most likely written by Ranboo's enderwalk self, as he did not seem consciously aware of it.

Answer
On April 28, while Ranboo was gathering potions, he accidentally created a set of splash water bottles, making him abruptly remember what had happened a few days ago. Philza (having apparently been told something about the experiments) entered Ranboo's basement and quickly got rid of the water bottles to make sure Ranboo was safe. After Phil left, Ranboo checked his memory book to see if he had gotten an answer from himself, and found the following message left by his enderwalk state:

"I am someone who stops conflict. I need to make sure that if any conflict arises to try and help in any way possible. MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE. STOP CONFLICT. MAKE THE SERVER BETTER. This is what I need to do. Trust me."

Ranboo was glad to see that the state was communicating with him, although he did not understand what the message meant as he didn't think there was currently conflict on the server. Still, since it was apparently important, he decided that he would try his best to stop any conflict that did arise. He then went to collect more totems of undying for Tubbo as a way to distract himself, and gifted a totem to Phil as thanks for helping him.

Wilbur's revival
Ranboo was involved with Tubbo, Tommy and Ghostbur in an attempt to break into the prison and kill Dream. After exchanging a bunch of words about Ranboo's eyes, Tommy told everyone the plan. Ranboo gave Tommy the potions of Invisibility and Fire Resistance that he needed for sneaking past Warden Awesamdude and getting through the security system. Tommy explained his plan of using Ghostbur to sneak in as no one would expect Ghostbur to have some sort of malicious intent of breaking into the Prison. After finalizing their new plan, Ranboo and Tubbo waited for Tommy and Ghostbur to return after killing Dream.

After Tommy came out of the prison, Ranboo and Tubbo were confused because Ghostbur was not with him. Tommy said that he had died in the prison, which left them even more confused as they didn't understand how a ghost could die. Tommy then explained how Dream had used the revival book to bring Wilbur back to life. Ranboo was in disbelief that Wilbur was back and wished to know more about what happened. Tommy tried to explain how it happened, but ultimately ended up snapping at Ranboo for being "unempathetic" (probably due to Tommy's collapsing mental state). Ranboo mentioned how they were friends, which only further aggravated Tommy.

Knowing there was only one way to know for sure, Tommy brought Ranboo and Tubbo to L'Manberg where he was sure Wilbur would be now that he was resurrected. Once they arrived, they found Wilbur at his grave. Here Ranboo first got to see what Wilbur was like, how he had laughed when he saw L'Manberg's destruction and he wasn't impressed. Ranboo didn't speak much, but once Wilbur had left, Ranboo showed how angry he was when he asked Tommy what the hell he did.

Soon after Ranboo went to his enderman council, and, due to his ender powers allowing him to remember how to speak ender again, he was able to ask the council to spy on Wilbur, to see why he had come back and what he was doing at all times. He built an obsidian "mailbox" of sorts near his house for the council to leave letters in.

The lab
While out mining on May 21, Ranboo stumbled upon a stronghold inside a cave, making this the second time he'd found one by accident (the first being the Syndicate's base). He was confused as to how he kept finding strongholds, but quickly located the portal room after gathering some infested stone. Though he did not know what the end portal was, he saw it was similar to the Syndicate's table, and realized that the Eye of Ender in one of the frames looked much like his own eyes. He thought about making the room into a lab for his enderwalk experiments, as he "felt alright" there, then left for home shortly after, recording his findings in his memory book and deciding to ask Phil about it later.

His ender particles argued with him for a while afterward trying to convince him to lick the table (which Ranboo repeatedly denied). He talked with them about the experiments, stating that he believed they were helpful even if the particles did not like them. He also briefly mentioned a book where he records notes from his experiments.

On May 22, Ranboo returned to the stronghold to make the lab. He discussed his views on the enderwalk state, saying that though he wanted to get rid of it before, he now thought of it as a good thing due to its abilities. He planned to use the experiments to uncover more of these abilities, or perhaps even fix his memory. Once his new experiment was ready, though, he started having second thoughts.

He revealed that the experiments were never just for testing on the enderwalk, but to find a permanent solution, which he had found and written in his experiment book a while ago - he would use a dispenser to shoot himself with an arrow, forcing himself to teleport, which would trap him in a tank of water. However, he now had realized that the enderwalk state wasn't some other version of him, but simply what he is like with all of his memories; he wasn't sure anymore if he wanted to get rid of it. He considered the two possible outcomes of his solution: eliminating the enderwalk state and its memories completely, or becoming permanently stuck in enderwalk. Eventually, chose not to risk it, blocking off the portal room and deciding to only use it as a last resort. He dispelled his ender particles with a clap and returned home. (presumably)

Las Nevadas and the cookie outpost
On June 18, 2021, Ranboo assisted Tubbo in expanding the walls of a cookie outpost Tubbo had constructed just outside the entrance of Quackity's nation, Las Nevadas. Quackity countered this by building a wall of his own and confronting Tubbo. He was upset that Tubbo was encroaching on his land with the cookie outpost, and argued that the walls were clearly a show of hostility. While Tubbo and Quackity continued to argue over the walls, Ranboo stayed with Foolish and Purpled, and the three had a friendly interaction silently trading items and adopting two red sheep.

Tubbo and Ranboo returned to the outpost after the meeting was concluded. Overlooking Las Nevadas and listening to the disc Mall, Tubbo told Ranboo about his execution at the Manberg Festival, and also mentioned Quackity's wish to execute Ranboo himself at the Green Festival. Ranboo was upset with Quackity for wanting to execute him and for aiding in Tubbo's execution, but stated that he did not blame Quackity that much, as the L'Manberg era was stressful for everyone. Later, Ranboo also claimed that he had conflicting feelings toward Technoblade due to his role in Tubbo's execution.

He started building a farm behind the wall expansion of the outpost, but was distracted by an explosion within the walls. Upon investigating, he discovered Slimecicle spying on him from just outside the lava door. Slime claimed to have never seen Ranboo before at any past event, and mistook Ranboo's assurances that he was not human to mean that he was a slime as well, though Ranboo soon informed Slime that he was just half-enderman. Ranboo attempted to teach Slime about friendship, gifts, and free will, to mixed results. Slime left after remembering that he was meant to be Tommy's prisoner. After their interaction, Ranboo stated that he wanted to protect Slimecicle due to seeing himself in him (a new member of the server that doesn't stick up for themselves and often gets dragged into conflicts), and hoped Slime would be able to learn free will.

Shortly after, Ranboo left a gift of diamond boots and cookies for Quackity as a peace offering. Quackity confronted Ranboo about the gift and a farm he had built behind the wall that had initiated the conflict. Though Quackity wanted the cookie outpost to be completely removed, he offered a "compromise" of Ranboo and Tubbo simply taking down the wall. Ranboo and Quackity ended the discussion and went their own ways, but not long after, Quackity returned to talk with Ranboo, this time bringing Foolish along. Foolish seemed to be completely on Quackity's side, which Ranboo felt somewhat betrayed by. Ranboo was confused about their concerns, not understanding why their outpost wasn't allowed, but nonetheless agreed to discuss taking down the wall expansion with Tubbo.

Afterward, Ranboo thought more about the conflict. He felt that the outpost's walls were now proven justified, as Quackity had invaded the outpost and threatened them, though he soon began to wonder if he and Tubbo were actually in the wrong. He regretted getting involved in the dispute in the first place, not wanting any war to happen again.

End City build
On July 18, 2021, Ranboo set to work on a new building project that he would build on top of the obsidian grid above L'Manberg's ruins. His plan for the project, which he shared with his ender particles, looked remarkably similar to an End City; however, he repeatedly insisted that he did not know what an End City was. Once he had started, the structure indeed seemed to be an End City tower, though built out of cobblestone rather than End materials. He paused construction once his pickaxes were low on durability, but continued to work on the build in subsequent streams by adding more towers and bridges.

Establishing Paradise Burgers
On July 25, 2021, Wilbur came up with the idea of creating his own burger business, and sought out someone to help him with the project. After some convincing from Philza, Wilbur met with Ranboo awkwardly, raising his idea of creating a burger van together and offering a tentative friendship. Ranboo agreed and they both set off to investigate Las Nevadas. Upon their arrival, Wilbur criticized the city's lifelessness and lack of care for customers before redirecting Ranboo towards what would be their own land. The two began working on the burger van's construction together and discussing names and plans for their business, with Wilbur initially proposing the name Paradise.

During construction, Wilbur asked why Ranboo had come to help him. Ranboo responded that he didn't think Wilbur was that bad - he stated that while he believed the "older" Wilbur was a bad person, everyone could change, and he was hopeful Wilbur had improved (and could still improve). This response seemed to genuinely catch Wilbur by surprise, and he had to stop to wipe tears away before turning and being honest, describing how he thinks people are scared of him. Wilbur commented on Ranboo's perspective, drawing parallels between their anxious nature. However, he soon agreed not to psychoanalyze Ranboo further and they both continued working.

Wilbur later halted Ranboo's construction and led him back to the Las Nevadas burger shop, where he encouraged Ranboo to break some windows and light a piece of TNT in order to prove his trust. Ranboo was very concerned throughout the whole process, asking Wilbur whether he was sure that this wouldn't do permanent damage to the building, but after some hesitation he finally agreed to light the TNT. Wilbur showed pride in Ranboo for proving he could take a side, but this only seemed to make Ranboo more anxious and ashamed. Wilbur then allowed Ranboo to leave and left a sign in the wreckage stating who was responsible for the explosion, solidifying Ranboo's involvement in this new conflict.

Continuing Paradise Burgers
TBA: August 3, August 4

Hitting on 16
It is important to note that, as a result of meta issues revolving the Dream SMP writing, Hitting on 16 - a short story published by Wilbur and approved by all appearing characters - is a canon divergence of sorts. It is up to audience interpretation.

During the events of Arc 2: Horseplay, Ranboo was working at the Burger Van with Wilbur. Finding himself on the outskirts, Ranboo met up with Tubbo and spoke to him about hanging out and having dinner together. Ranboo claims he is uncertain on the prospect but will ask Wilbur, where Tubbo interjects and says they'll eat across the borders. The two of them eat together and part ways, and Ranboo finds Wilbur at the van. Wilbur asks him to partake in a heist on Las Nevadas, planning to steal the horse Boner from Quackity and kill him in front of him. The plan pans out well, though Ranboo expresses distaste to the plan throughout.

Tubbo finds Ranboo with the horse, and questions him. The two get into an argument, where Ranboo begs Tubbo to not tell Quackity about their heist. Tubbo runs off and Wilbur applauds Ranboo for standing his ground.

During Act 3: Hitting on 16, Wilbur and Ranboo begin setting up the trap for Boner, complete with TNT. Wilbur suggests for Ranboo to hide in a portion of the cave, which Ranboo declines for fear of the TNT. Wilbur requests from him a lemonade and a first edition Wilburger, and Ranboo leaves the viewing bay. Wilbur explains the plan to Ranboo as they approach the casino, where Wilbur tries to cheer him up despite his anxiety and uncertainty. The two of them meet Quackity, and take him to the trap. Ranboo is silent throughout the walk, staying to Quackity's side.

However, when the lights turn on and the trio see Tubbo on the pressure plate instead of Boner, Ranboo watches as Quackity and Wilbur begin to fight to try and save Tubbo. Ranboo takes action and leaves the viewing platform, digging through the top of the cave and moving into the room Tubbo was in. He puts his foot on the pressure plate and lets Tubbo escape, claiming he has a way to defuse the bomb. Ranboo takes his foot off the platform, and is blown up by the TNT.

Prison Break and Death
On November 27, 2021, Ranboo was imprisoned by Sam for an unknown reason. He was held in one of Pandora's Vault's lower-security cells for the next day, next to Connor's cell. As Technoblade had already been planning to break Dream out of the prison, he decided to rescue Ranboo as well.

On November 28, 2021, Techno, Philza, and Nihachu carried out their prison break plan. Techno released Dream and, despite Dream's insistence that they leave Ranboo behind, circled back to release Ranboo (and Connor). The group managed to escape the prison, but were held up when Awesamdude caught up to them outside. Sam told Ranboo that he had kidnapped MICHAEL, and he threatened to harm MICHAEL unless Ranboo complied with him. Ranboo agreed to remove his armor and was taken hostage by Sam; now defenseless, Ranboo was killed by Sam, losing his final life. Before his death, however, Ranboo gave a picture of MICHAEL to Technoblade.

Afterlife
Shortly after his death, Ranboo re-appeared as a ghost with a new name: "Boo". According to Boo, while he had stayed in the living world, Ranboo had been sent to limbo (the same situation as Wilbur and Ghostbur). Ranboo's version of limbo has not been revealed, but was once described by Wilbur and Philza (out-of-character) to be incredibly sad.

Enderwalk ARG
On March 16, 2021, Ranboo launched the Enderwalk ARG for his community to play along and solve using clues given across any platform that Ranboo has an account on. A summary document of what's been revealed so far can be found here, compiled & written by Axwtumn (part of Ranboo's staff) and edited by Kuttanii.

Descendants of Ranboo
During Tales from the SMP: The Lost City of Mizu, it was revealed that Ranboo had created an underwater city sometime during his lifetime, where he spent the rest of the days along with many other members. Although it was eventually abandoned and lost, Ranboo had children at some point during this time in Mizu, which eventually left the only remaining inhabitant of Mizu, Ranbob.

Ranboo mentioned on January 26, 2021, that he wanted to make an underwater city at some point in the future, foreshadowing the creation of Mizu.

Trivia

 * There are many theories surrounding his memory issues.
 * One such theory is that it is one of the traits of his white half, and one of the clues he may possibly be a Dreamon. However, when asked whether he knows what a Dreamon is, Ranboo (not in-character) said that he does not know much about them, therefore making this theory very unlikely to be true.
 * In a stream with Tubbo on the OriginsSMP, Ranboo revealed that the loss of the original memory book, building the panic room, and the Dream voice were all improvised bits created on the spot, and later expanded into his character's current lore.
 * In a previous stream on the Dream SMP, Ranboo revealed he came up with the idea for Dream voice right when it first appeared, asking Dream to play "a voice in his head" and follow his lead. After they realized how cool it was, they fleshed out the plot to what it is now. This is also why the Dream voice acted differently in its first scene.
 * Before losing his memory book, Ranboo was one of the few people who did not have negative relations with others.
 * Losing his memory book started a chain of events that made him very paranoid about his relationships. After Dream's exposure of Ranboo as a "traitor," his good relationship with the L'Manberg council (Fundy, Quackity, and Tubbo) soured. This ended his generally positive relationship with everyone on the SMP.
 * Prior to when he was invited to live with Technoblade and Philza, Ranboo was one of the few people who had seen Technoblade's cabin several times and even been inside it, even despite Techno's distrust towards Ranboo.
 * Before the Green Festival, it was implied that Quackity suspected Ranboo was a traitor, because he kept staring at Ranboo and was overly concerned when Ranboo refused to take off his helmet in rain.
 * During his stream on January 11, with Tubbo being in the call, he accidentally came across an exposed stronghold near Technoblade's nether portal. Three days later, he showed it to Technoblade and they got the advancement for going in, but did not explore it. Techno later repurposed this stronghold as a base for the Syndicate.
 * On his January 26 stream, Ranboo stated that he thinks making an underwater city would be "cool." This is a reference to creating The Lost City of Mizu.
 * Months before his character's death, Ranboo stated that if he were to canonically die and become a ghost, his ghost name would be Boo. This was made canon once his character became a ghost.
 * On his February 12 stream, Ranboo earned the advancement "Adventuring Time," being the first known person to visit all 42 biomes on the server.
 * The enderman half of Ranboo's skin appears to be based on the beta design of endermen which had green eyes.
 * His original name, Ranboo My Beloved, is a reference to the "my beloved" heart locket meme that became a joke among Ranboo's fans.
 * His current full name, Ranboo_Beloved, is a merged last name of his and Tubbo's (a common practice of married couples rather than choosing one last name)
 * He seems to consider the word "vwoop" a swear, calling out his ender particles for saying it.
 * Contrary to popular belief, Ranboo does, in fact, know what pronouns are: he simply didn't know what they were in English, but he still knew of the concept of pronouns and referred to them as "universial nicknames." It's likely that he only knew them in Endspeak prior to having them be explained to him by Phil.
