"I might be a Totem of Undying... but in the past, I have been a Totem of Death..."

Foolish Gamers, simply known as Foolish, is the thirty first member of the Dream SMP, joining on January 16, 2021. He is a prominent builder on the server who has made many ambitious projects. In canon, he is possibly one of the oldest members of the SMP, other than Technoblade and Philza.

Physiology
Foolish is a humanoid totem of undying with golden skin and emerald green eyes. Parts of his body are fused with shark, as shown by his skin. In his Snowchester attire, he wears the standard-issue Snowchester wear; a thick brown vest and pants over a long-sleeved, checkered, beige shirt that is lined with cream fur and accompanied by boots and a hood. In his Red Banquet attire, he wears a black vest with red accessories and a gold chain over white undershirt with rolled-up sleeves. In his casino attire, he wears a green tie and suspenders with Brown pants, dark brown boots, and a long sleeved Ivory shirt. In his Batman Attire, he wears black boots and gloves with a batman cowl and a bat symbol on his chest. His canon height is 23'3. He has also claimed that his blood is 10% gold but it is unknown if this was a joke or not.

Species/culture
There are many different types of totems, shark-fused being only one of them. Early in a totem's life there comes a time when one ends up fusing with a specific thing. This could be elemental like fire, or animal like shark. Totem children go through this evolution at 5 years of age. During evolution, it is normal for a totem child to not survive. It is implied in different conversations that culturally, totems are very warlike. Totem children are expected to take bullets for their parents. In totem culture, there is a myth about a "pure" totem. This chosen totem is one who has never gone through an evolution and fused with something. It is unknown if the chosen totem has any special powers or significance besides being a thing of legend. It is also currently unknown what the difference between a totem of undying and a totem of death is.

Powers/godhood
During a Ponk stream, Foolish mentioned that he has the power to bring the dead back to life due to being a totem god. His skeleton horses are also from him bringing normal horses back from the dead. Foolish also could have more than three canon lives, but the canonicity of this is unknown.

Foolish implied he is very old. According to him, he has "been around for a while" and has "seen different kingdoms rise and fall". The only other indicator of his age is that he has had a long history with the Egg, and is allegedly younger than it.

Foolish can use lightning and has in the past, claiming that he may be a totem of undying but has been a "totem of death." As a god of the ocean, he also has control of the skies, using his lightning abilities to scare away certain people. A drawback of this lightning power is that Foolish requires rest after using it. When he tried summoning lightning at the Red Banquet to destroy the Egg, he was shocked to discover that the egg can suppress his powers. Foolish is also shown to be capable of hearing the Egg as if it weren't speaking in reverse.

Personality
Foolish is a friendly, easy-going, and kind member of the server. He gives netherite ingots with custom names to fellow server members whenever he can. He enjoys building, demonstrated by his large build projects and willingness to help with and give advice on other people's builds. However, he is absent-minded, easily distracted, and not very bright. His pushover nature lets others mess with him and he often goes along with it. This makes him out to be the comedic relief of the server. He gets skittish when scared or stressed, and keeps to himself unless someone else strikes first. Nevertheless, he is a pacifist and refuses to kill, although will make an exception for sacrifices and indirect killings. This also extends to his naively forgiving nature, where he is willing to give second, third, and fourth chances to people. Because of experiencing death for the first time, Foolish is fearful and uncomfortable around the subject. However, after joining Las Nevadas, Foolish has resolved to find a balance between pacifism and violence, so he can protect people close to him. Also, at times, Foolish can have a quick temper, which could be a hint at his old self's hot-headedness.

Early life
Foolish, due to his nature as a god of the undying and oceans (as well as formerly one of death) is immortal, having lived for centuries, however this might not be true and Foolish might only have 2 cannon lives left; one taken from him at the Red Banquet.

As of December 10, DreamXD has gave Foolish god powers and immortality as a reward to Foolish for building the DreamXD statue. This means that Foolish is now immortal and he also now has some god powers, listed in a book that DreamXD gave him. However, his powers is nowhere near to DreamXD.

Foolish was once an A-class warrior and a "totem of death". He had been tasked with an "easy job": a peaceful heist with a big reward and no innocents. It was related to The Village That Went Mad. According to one of the villager's diary entries, Foolish was called the "strange man" with a "body made out of straw but eyes of emerald". Apparently, Foolish was fascinated by lemons. He introduced the villagers to a new land of sand and gold, brought them a caravan of unknown good, and gifted them 21 statues. He also talked about ancient magic. Eventually, the villagers murder each other and the Village is last seen on fire. It is implied that Foolish is to blame for driving the Villagers "mad", though a further explanation for this is not yet provided. This is supported by Awesamedude's research of old texts, saying that Foolish had been "a hot-headed guy that killed a lot of people by accident". After this, Foolish decided to retire from violence and start to build.

Foolish was also close friends with Eret, although Eret has since lost the memories about it. Foolish mentioned a "wither cult" "trolls" and that the Red Banquet was not the first party they had gone to, and to be wary. When speaking to the Crimson Egg, The Egg says that Foolish had a long history with the Egg, but did not remember it.

Retribution Arc
While doing a Minecraft speedrun live stream on YouTube, Foolish logged onto the Dream SMP after being surprised with an invite midstream. He was greeted by Dream, who gave him items and a quick tour of the Greater Dream SMP. After Dream left, Foolish met Ponk, who killed Foolish and took the items he had. Eventually, Foolish was left alone to collect resources and explore the server. After wandering around the server, he met up with CaptainPuffy for a mini-tour. He found some yeezys (diamond boots) at Tommy and Lani’s restaurant. Puffy then gave him a set of full diamond armor, a netherite sword, and a netherite pick before adopting him. During the tour, he met with BadBoyHalo, who he asked for a totem of undying.

Later in the day, Foolish met Tommy after he logged on. He introduced himself and helped Tommy clean up his house with his new netherite pickaxe. Tommy then mugged Foolish for his netherite items by killing him. However, Foolish managed to transfer his netherite sword into his ender chest.

Joining Snowchester
After asking if anyone wanted to go mining with him, Foolish was invited over to Snowchester by Tubbo. When he arrived, he was given a hoe to farm potatoes before being given a full set of diamond armor dubbed the "Tubbo Starter Kit." Foolish decided to make his Snowchester house next to the Project: Dream Catcher research lab and above Jack Manifold's Snowchester house. However, he is currently unaware that the research lab is for nuclear testing and just thinks it's a mining facility with fireworks.

The Egg
Foolish tried to grind levels at the spider spawner, but then he heard Ponk using his trident while he was trapped above the Egg. Foolish was freaked out that Ponk was trapped on top of the Egg and tried to persuade Ponk to break out of BadBoyHalo and Antfrost's trap by trying to get Ponk to go mugging with him but it failed. Foolish gave Ponk a croissant and a bucket while Ponk was trapped, but Antfrost logged online after. He barely hid from Antfrost who immediately went to the Egg and demanded Ponk to tell him who was visiting him, but Ponk refused to confess. Foolish ran back to his summer home in the desert to get away from Antfrost and expressed fear of being targeted next. Foolish was still scared of BadBoyHalo after he admitted to feeling like he was "gaining life" after killing him. It was at this point did Foolish realize he did not like the Crimson, unlike the green vines in the Ponk-a-sino.

When things seemed to settle, Foolish grinded for levels at the skeleton spawner close to his summer home in the desert until Antfrost showed up and trapped Foolish in netherrack by it. Foolish gave up Junior's first salmon and a piece of string to try to bribe Antfrost. Antfrost confronted Foolish about someone helping Ponk with "unnecessary nourishment." Foolish denied knowing anything at all about it and claimed to be at his skeleton spawner the whole time but he lied by saying he saw Philza and Ponk conversing about croissants. Antfrost thanked Foolish for "showing the Egg some kindness" and said he was going to go deal with Phil. Foolish found blood vines at his summer home, but didn't destroy them because he was scared when Antfrost was testing him and that he doesn't know how to get rid of the vines. Fundy later came to his summer house, and Foolish explained his blood vine issue. Fundy then promptly blew up the blood vines with TNT.

Foolish is not scared of the Egg since he has seen unnatural beings like it and that they have "come and gone." Ponk threatened an attack on Foolish, but Foolish stayed unafraid. Instead, he enlisted the help of Awesamdude to search his builds for TNT on the day of the attack. Ponk, Antfrost, and Bad continued trying to get Foolish to join the Egg. However, he displayed his totem powers when they blew up his Ra statue to scare them off. Of course, Foolish would later discuss with Ranboo and Tubbo how he had nothing against the Eggpire, since he sensed that the Crimson was manipulating them. However, during the Red Banquet and to his shock, he found out that the Blood Vines can suppress his lightning powers before he was sacrificed to the Egg for his energy.

Foolish's summer house
Foolish is currently living in a summer house for himself, nicknaming it "The Temple of Undying." He started building it since his third day and it is now one of, if not the biggest build on the server. It consists of a large entrance, two humanoid statues, a sphinx, a pyramid, an Anubis statue, and more to be added. It is decorated with waterfalls, murals, and floor art along with an eye of Horus. Outside, he has also built a two-headed king cobra statue, which acts as his personal home, and an archway for his nether portal. Several people have seen his summer house, including Antfrost, CaptainPuffy, GeorgeNotFound, HBomb94, JackManifoldTV, Ranboo, Awesamdude, Tubbo, Eret, etc. Sam and Tubbo have threatened to nuke it, albeit jokingly.

During a Foolish stream, he claimed as long as he is at his summer house, he has no fear of the Egg. However, when blood vines did appear in the summer house, he finally took the Egg seriously. He also revealed his secret Pharaoh's chamber which has a Pharaoh statue and many riches. He is wary of the Eggpire after they attacked his summer home and blew up one of his statues.

Tubbo and Ranboo's mansion
Foolish got commissioned by Tubbo and Ranboo to build a large mansion in the vicinity of Snowchester. He started construction on March 7, 2021, on the west side of Snowchester. The scale of the mansion is significant and is larger than most buildings on the SMP, though it is smaller than the Temple of Undying and Pandora's Vault. It is comprised of a grand staircase with a chandelier, a villager trading hall, a library, a storage room, an automatic farm area, the main bedroom, MICHAEL's new room, a walk-in closet, an attic, a bee dome, a front garden, a backyard with a fountain, a clock stuck at 10:34 and various other rooms across three floors. The construction of the mansion is also a part of the off-the-record favors in Foolish and Ranboo's Shulker Box Agreement.

Shulker box agreement
The shulker box agreement, also known as the "Shulker Agreement", is an official trade that involves the Lime Green shulker Box that Foolish gambled for and received from Drista. As per contract, Ranboo would officially own the shulker box but rent it out to Foolish for "A VERY VERY LONG TIME" so he would benefit from the extra inventory space and ownership insurance. In return, Foolish would not attempt to quit building the mansion, as well as owe a "war favor" at Ranboo's discretion. As long as these promises were upheld and an off-screen item exchange was fulfilled, Foolish can keep the shulker box. According to him, they agreed to only discuss the deal at a "certain location," so when Ranboo acted confused at Foolish's thanks for it, they both played it off as cautious secrecy.

Kinoko Kingdom
Foolish once advised the construction of Karl's Library but was commissioned by Karl to directly build for Kinoko Kingdom. He built several structures in order to establish the country, including a mushroom tower, a Japanese-style mushroom house, a Yin-Yang water feature, and a dragon statue. Furthermore, he has added an oriental castle, a water fountain, a noodle cart, a cherry blossom tree, pathing, ponds, and smaller huts. He also helped build a natural waterfall in Nihachu's underground city.

Other builds
Foolish builds other un-commissioned structures as well. He has built Cloud Prime, a cloud in the Holy Land with a totem of undying statue on top. He has also built many Muppets, cursed flammable statues that he arsons as sub goals. So far, he has burned a Muppet called James, Jared and Karen, and then Muppets based on other members of the SMP like Dream with an attached GeorgeNotFound, Ranboo, and Karl with an attached Sapnap and Quackity.

Red Banquet
Foolish was one of the guests invited to the Red Banquet by BadBoyHalo and Antfrost. He was originally skeptical of the Eggpire's sudden change of heart, especially after they attacked his summer home. However, he appreciated their effort to apologize, even if he could not accept it yet, and clean up the vines around the server before he eventually decided to go to the party when he was bribed by food and heard that Awesamdude was going too. Of course, he was planning to "split the Egg in half with a lightning bolt" if anything happened during the event. Foolish then prepared for the gathering by picking a suit, bringing honey bottles named Ambrosia, and making Rolex pocket watches or clocks for other guests. The day before the banquet, he along with Awesamedude, CaptainPuffy and Hannah gathered on Cloud Prime to organize a backup plan for the party, with Puffy hiding weapons and armor in the banquet table.

On the day of the banquet, Foolish is the latest to arrive. He hands out another Rolex clock to Eret as well as his Ambrosia drinks to everyone. He then hangs out on the dance floor and is protected from bad memories of HBomb by his father, Puffy. He also admits to BadBoyHalo about peeing on the Egg at some point. When the dinner begins, Foolish starts the toast, saying he is sick of hearing "let bygones be bygones" and that he is "all about second or third chances...in the hope of something new and promising" for the Eggpire. However, when it is BadBoyHalo's turn to toast, Foolish along with the guests are trapped with the Egg by lava. Hannah had also betrayed them for the Eggpire by giving up the backup weapons and armor. Before Eret could become the first to be sacrificed to the egg, Foolish stepped forward to destroy the Egg with lightning, only to find out that his powers are suppressed in the Egg's territory. He was the only sacrifice at the banquet, killed by Antfrost near the Egg right in front of Puffy and losing his first canon life.

Conversation with the Egg
After respawning from his death at the Red Banquet Foolish awakes at his summer home, in the temple's beacon. At first, he is fearful and in denial that he, a god, had died. He finds the Egg speaking in his mind claiming it's "in his soul." It claims that Foolish knew of it before but has forgotten as it is even more ancient than him and knows who he is. Foolish explains that he has chosen a life of building to repent against the time where he was reckless with his power and to feel in control. It asks him to join the Eggpire but Foolish continues to refuse to say he no longer wants to be a totem of death and tells the Egg to "go to hell." He escapes the voice for the time being by entering the holy water of Church Prime.

L'Sandberg conflict
Note: This event takes place weeks in the future, possibly inbetween the Red Banquet & Las Nevadas Arc.

The confrontation
During the time Quackity is looking for recruits for Las Nevadas, Quackity meets with Foolish at his summer house, greeting each other at the front as if they have met before. They catch up, with Foolish brushing off any mention of the Red Banquet, and discuss their affiliations. Quackity moves on to invite Foolish to his new country as he was "the first person [Quackity] thought of". Foolish is honored by the invitation, but turns it down; he is content with just being at his summer home and living a simple life. However, Quackity refutes this, implying his knowledge about Foolish's life from "far back". Foolish tries to explain that he once believed in peace through fighting but now knows it only leads to fear, power and hatred. Quackity dismisses this and asks to buy Foolish's summer house from him, offending him by labeling its worth as 1 diamond--all his builds are just "empty shells" that will be lost to time just like Foolish. Quackity then reveals that he had let Foolish die at the Red Banquet. Foolish is enraged by this and Quackity taunts him to kill him with his trident, justifying his choice to help him realize that being a pacifist makes no difference and so he should go back to "how [he] used to be". They continue arguing about power, peace and potential before Quackity leaves, leaving the invitation open to Foolish.

Joining Las Nevadas
After much back and forth, Foolish decides to join Las Nevadas. Although he is spiteful towards his needless death for Quackity's personal gain, he thinks that the "slap in the face" was necessary for him to change his ways. Both living only by violence or only by peace has ended badly for him. He believes that joining the country will be an opportunity to find a balance between the two so that he does the right thing but can still be strong enough to protect the people he cares about. He arrives and Quackity gives a tour of the place, with Foolish often mentioning Karl and Sapnap to Quackity's dismay. Foolish accidentally wins Tommy's shovel Linda in a gamble. Foolish also has the chance to tour Tubbo around Las Nevadas, whilst checking out the cookie outpost.

Later, Quackity proposes officializing Foolish's citizenship of the country, although nothing has been signed yet. Foolish gives a set of maxed out netherite armor, thinking that Quackity will need it for leading Las Nevadas and dealing with enemies. They then discuss the new enemy that Quackity has made with Wilbur, as well as Quackity's entire history on the Dream SMP. Quackity also asks Foolish for input on future builds and to help him with his future plans for the country, which includes building highways all over the server to lead back to Las Nevadas.

Prison break?
Foolish, bored on the SMP, decides to try to break into Pandora's Vault. Using a strategy of a cow, humorously named "Lore Cow", placed in a boat along with the quick distance covering of a trident to quickly mine through the prison's obsidian before he acquires mining fatigue, Foolish manages to mine a significantly long passage into the prison. However, his attempts at a break in are stopped when Quackity logs on. Quackity asks what Foolish is doing and Foolish debates with himself whether or not to tell Quackity. Foolish eventually tells Quackity about the break in. Quackity immediately tells Foolish to stop, as Foolish's break in could jeopardize Las Nevadas. Quackity does not divulge to Foolish what has been going on in the prison, but promises to talk with Foolish at a later time. Foolish stops trying to break in, and seals up the passage he dug. Occasionally Foolish will check out his break in attempt to see if the passage is still there.

Ending his friendship with Ponk
One day Foolish was hanging out with Awesamdude and after a staring contest, Foolish was compelled by both Awesamdude and his chat to go on a "non-date" with Awesamdude. Foolish would claim it wasn't a date, but to everyone it obviously was, so a chat member snitched to Ponk, who got very mad at Foolish, and after a bit of arguing and blowing up a bridge Ponk ended his and Foolish's friendship and then ran away.

Las Nevadas is a prime target
After Technoblade breaks out of the prison and Quackity thinks that Dream escaped, Quackity travels back to Las Nevadas to prepare. Foolish, seeing that Quackity is back in Las Nevadas is eager to show Quackity Foolish's progress on the hotel. After showing Quackity the pool table he built, Quackity says that he comes with bad news. Quackity tells Foolish that Dream escaped and that Las Nevadas needs to prepare. Quackity appoints Foolish as the head of strategy and war and tasks Foolish with building a bunker to protect the citizens of Las Nevadas and to create weapons and armor for everyone. After Quackity leaves, Foolish hunts around Las Nevadas and then the rest of the server trying to find Dream. Foolish even checks the passage he mined into the prison. His hunt for Dream is unsuccessful, Foolish returns to Las Nevadas and begins construction on the bunker. While starting the process for building the bunker, Foolish is harassed by Hbomb and Antfrost who are both dressed as catmaids. Foolish tells the catmaids that the bunker will be used for illicit activities and gets the catmaids to help him mine out the necessary space. The bunker will be a recreation of the main Among Us Map and is located under the Las Nevadas sign.

Rebuilding his friendship with Ponk
While walking around, Foolish was contacted by Ponk, who stated that he wanted to rebuild their friendship the "right way". To do so, Ponk would have Foolish re-break the newly built bridge and then rebuild it again, symbolizing their friendship being back together. They then continued to walk and talk together around the SMP.

Gambling with DreamXD
Foolish, Tubbo, and Ponk were hanging out underground in a farm that Tubbo was building. DreamXD joined the server and began talking with the three. DreamXD began a gambling contest so that players could win banned items. Foolish gambled in an attempt to earn more player heads, and ended up losing most of his current heads. Foolish was desperate to win, and even considered gambling one of his children. DreamXD eventually stepped in and banned Foolish from gambling any more. Foolish also won a spawner, but this was stolen by Ponk.

#TeamSeas Elytra Contest/battle of Snowchester and aftermath
On October 30th, 2021, Foolish participated in the #TeamSeas contest in order to win an elytra. Foolish ended up coming in second place, and won a second shulker box that was white in color. After the event, he traveled to Snowchester where George, Sapnap, Hannah, Eret, and Punz were hanging out. Sapnap and George were attempting to kill Hannah and take her stuff. Foolish decided to join in on the fighting. Foolish chased after George, attempting to kill him, but was slain by Sapnap in the process. Foolish lost all of his primary netherite gear and other items. Angered after losing his gear to Sapnap, Foolish traveled back to his Summer Home and gathered TNT. While Hannah, Sapnap, George, and Punz played Hypixel Bedwars, Foolish began placing TNT around Kinoko Kingdom. Foolish planned to hold Kinoko Kingdom hostage with TNT in order to get his items back from Sapnap. Foolish was soon joined by BadBoyHalo who assisted him in placing the TNT. When the bedwars games were finished, Sapnap logged back into the server one more time. Sapnap announced that he would give Foolish's items back, and Foolish told him to come to Kinoko Kingdom. As Sapnap was giving Foolish his items back, Foolish rapidly picked up all of the TNT he had placed around Kinoko and placed it in the chests in the mushroom library. Sapnap gave Foolish his items back, and Kinoko Kingdom was no longer being threatened. Nobody on the server at the time except BadBoyHalo knew about Foolish placing the TNT.

DreamXD statue
Foolish started construction on the DreamXD statue somewhere before November 23, 2021. While construction, DreamXD logged on multiple times to remind Foolish about the statue, or to just check on him to see what he's doing. DreamXD also sometimes pranked Foolish, and he also demands entertainment and likes violence for entertainment.

DreamXD also revealed his true voice to Foolish, and can speak inside his head whenever he wanted to. He also ordered Foolish to finish the statue in 2 weeks time. It was also this time that DreamXD revealed he is unable to perceive the mortal sense of time, meaning he actually doesn't know how long 2 weeks is. The DreamXD statue is officialy completed in the 13th of December, 2021.

Foolish's immortal power
On December 11, 2021, DreamXD logged on and was surprised to see that the DreamXD statue was done. Foolish said that he still needs to finish the base part of it, but DreamXD thinks that the statue is complete now. They talk about a lot of stuff, but most importantly, Foolish got immortal power as a reward for building the DreamXD statue. However, this power is limited, and once it runs out, he will just be a normal person like everyone else. The way this power works is that every time Foolish loses all of his hearts, which normally would kill him, a totem would be popped even if he wasn't holding one. Foolish basically has an infinite amount totems, which makes him immortal and invincible. The totem comes from his body, as he is a totem of undying.
