Derpblock

From The Tanzanite Codex
Hi I'm Derpblock!
Derpblock, just being himself as always.



Derpblock, what more could there be said about him, he is Derpblock.

He is happy creature who sorta exists in their own little world, often spreading joy in their own...weird ways. From giving pears to playing tag to staring at the clouds. Everything about them is shrouded in myth and obscurity, with many beings throughout Alanoth spotting their presence but unsure they were even real.


Appearance

The appearance he takes by default is that of a male green dragon with big bulbous green eyes, dark green spots all around him, an exotic pair of wings and a big long tail with a ball that strongly resembles a kiwi at the end of it.


Sometimes he is seen wearing various accessories like leglets and a neckbrace with a large green gemstone on in, and at rare occasions, he can be spotted wearing a white Kiwaki bird mask, simply because he likes kiwi birds, many in Tanzanite mistakenly beliving him to be a Plague Dragon based on both his green color tone and this white mask given it's similarities to a Plague Doctors mas.

Personality

Derpblock just exists, Going around the land doing things like picking pears, blowing bubbles and flying kites, drawing, and just whatever he can think of.

His personality is as bubbly as he looks, even in the roughest bleakest times, they still try to find a way around it, Giving a gift basket to large infected dragons near Sygnal just to name an example, often not knowing any better and doing things the only way he knows. They have this unflappable positivity even in the face of the worst dangers imaginable, even down to imminent death.

The common reaction of those who encounter him are bewilderment, confusion, and questioning if they even existed at all or if they're just going crazy,

Abilities

They are able to morph into all sorts of creatures, from a frog, cat, seal, to even a cloud, but being exposed to dragons early in their existance leads them to take the form they have now. Some spot him with various different colors, from pink, purple, blue, red, so on, as They can naturally change their colors without the need of shaders or dyes, but they defaults to their green coloring, they likes the color green.

He is among the few beings those infected by Sko don't slash and chase after, without being deeply corrupted themselves, instead looking at him with curiosity. Various infected just look at them curiously, often chasing their pear tail around, behavior inhibited by similarly wild creatures like Hissy, and in the same vein, they are totally immune to The Pitch Plague, for much of the same reasons.

They can also see the true selves of anyone they come across, regardless of demonic origin or infection clouding their appearance, if they spots Nera while she's infected by the Pitch Plague, they'll see her in her blue and white coloring. They are unperturbed even in the face of those completely taken by Sko, talking with them like they were close friends.

Mind readers, like Pali or the demon known as Alama, who attempt to penetrate their psyche often find themselves lost and confused, given their near impenetrable cloudheadedness, many attempts to break his mind seem to go nowhere in the end.

Among natural abilities, they are capable of generating and blowing bubbles, often blowing bubbles to make someone happy or just because they are easily distracted and allow their mind to wander.

Backstory

Well, he is Derpblock, he doesn't really need a backstory.

...

That being said, his past is as enigmatic as he himself is. Originating as an extrauniversal being of unknown origins, they had gone on a long and arduous self discovery journey over the course of trillions of years, hopping between universes and gathering experiences, alive and lost, They eventually encountered an eldritch creature from a dying universe who ended up scrambling their rational mind, leaving them with the bubbly creature we have now, some say Derp has to keep themselves in a happy place to stave away the confusion and feeling of loss they can't fulfill.

They eventually ended up in U1-GA, appearing in the world of Alanoth right around the time of the Proto Polemo, they were surrounded by dragons for much of their existence in this new universe, so that was the form they ended up shaping into, hence why they appear as a strange looking dragon, as for the color...well he just likes the color green alot, not much to it than that.

Nowadays they roam all over the world of Alanoth, living their life easily distracted by all the little things in the world. He's close with the Guardian of Clouds, Nera, who sees him as a little lost creature and tries her best to protect the little blob, keeping them close to her fluffy form.

Trivia

  • Derpblock was originally made as a result of severe artblock.
  • His original design was a more limeish green with yellow spots, with both Chao and Tea eventually drawing him with a more emerald green with dark green spots, however given Derpblock's ability to change his own colors include his spots, this design is still a thing.
