HELLO!! I am too lazy to make an actual post but I am one of the people who know of chained life & chained life adjacent creators! I’m so sorry for this super long message i promise you dont have to read it all
The most basic thing about chained life, as you probably have learned, is that it is a traffic-esque series hosted by saparata
It includes a bunch of notable people from State SMP, which are civ events hosted by Ish (I RECOMMEND WATCHING THEM IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY! Specifically Rich vs Poor)
All but I think 3 of the ~37 members ARE state players, some with major roles and some with smaller presences – I will likely go into this with some of the ones in this bracket! – Some of them are also in Decayed and Decrepit, which there is a Miraheze wiki for with a bit of information about their characters + summaries of all the sessions 1-4 if you wanna check those out! You can also always check out the chained life wiki, even if it's a wip for the most part
Anyway let’s dig into these creators… (I am NOT an expert and you can definitely tell who i watch more + i kind of get lazier and more tired the more i wrote) ALSO not including my goats who are already out sorry rotation and whilk youre awesome
Awobbuffet: State – Chained life
any; he/him pref in case of confusion
Wobb has been in a lot of Ish’s State events, and even founded the strongest nation in 2.5 (rich vs. poor), the Covenant. He was also the co-leader of the jungle district in the more recent 2.7 purge event.
Their Chained life POV is slightly short but really fun nonetheless! They don’t seem to play a huge role in the overall story BUT their contribution is felt and important, especially after session 3. I vouch for this pov it’s so awesome i love wobb and his duos
With that he’s also played and hosted events! He has already hosted a 500 player Walls event which featured a lot of other state/state-adjacent streamers, and he’s hosting another longer and more ‘official’ event in April!
Saltysurvivalist: State – Chained life
he/him
Salty is a streamer! He typically streams Minecraft and sometimes Roblox and other games, usually with his friends (some of which are on this list)! His streams are lovely and normally very chill
He’s also been in some state events! In 2.5 he was part of a news group, day break media! He died pretty early on due to another person on this list (Thunder) accidentally impaling him with dripstone. He was also in the snow district in 2.7!
His chained life POV is pretty central and important for the overall ‘plot’ of the second half of chained life, as a lot of the main conflicts include him in some way. Also a huge recommendation even if it isn’t fully done yet!
Ymis: State – Chained life – Decayed and Decrepit
she/they (?)
Ymi streams mostly Minecraft and Roblox + she edits! She’s made various edits of her friends, her own videos and other fandoms!
They were in a lot of State events! They co-led 2e2g with TMCMoon in 2.0, and more recently and maybe more notably they were leader of the largest faction in the desert district, the Beach, in 2.7.
She is pretty involved in a lot of stuff in Chained life! Her pov is unique and well edited, and I recommend it. (I’ve only personally watched session 4 & 5 but they were so good)
Not streaming the event, most of what we see from Ymi in DaD is from others pov’s/what is said on other streams! They’re playing the character of Yumi, a mysterious person from 2e2g (sounds familiar huh…) whose backstory, name etc is basically unknown to everyone else.
KaNukei: State – Chained life
he/him
KaNukei is a streamer and he plays in events! He mostly does chill streams occasionally.
He has made shorter videos of his perspective from a lot of the Ish events he’s participated in! Most notably he played a role in helping the bastion of peace in the finale of 2.0, and he was a high ranking guard for imperia in 2.7.
KaNukei is one of the most vital people in Chained life, as a buuuunch of stuff revolves or at least includes him, especially in the second half of the series. I HEAVILY recommend his pov, it’s quite short compared to other pov’s meaning he does cut out some things and is at some points (looks at session 5) an unreliable narrator, but it makes it easy to watch.
Cynikka: State – Chained life – Decayed and Decrepit
any
They played a major character in state 2.5 as the queen of Infernus, which played a huge role in the story.
She’s also pretty important in the latter half of chained life! I really enjoy her character and connection to flowers… The symbolism is so subtle and well done.
He is also in DaD, where he plays a character who’s searching for his people. He loses his memory roughly every 3 days and needs his notebook to tell him all he has to remember.
LegacyAN: State – Chained life
any
Legacy is mostly known for his appearance in state 2.5 nowadays, but I think he’s been a major character before. In 2.5 he was a high ranking Luminarian, who played a large part in getting Luminara back into shape after the events of the event. He’s also known for having a parrot..
In chained life Legacy had an unlucky start, but he does have an interesting pov! It’s not fully uploaded but I do like his character in chained life.
Thomas5200: State – Chained life – Decayed and Decrepit
he/him
Thomas is a streamer!
In state, Thomas is most notably part of the conspiracy, who drive a lot of the plot with their villainous actions in 2.5. He’s also a guard in 2.7.
Thomas’ plans were mostly disconnected from most other people’s stories, but his character and plans for Chained life were incredibly fun! I really enjoy seeing his plans and relations with other people.
Thunderunderline: State – Chained life
any (?)
Thunder was part of the covenant/peacekeepers in 2.5.
He was originally a substitute for Jaw in chained life, but after subbing in for a few more players, he ended up just joining the main cast. He’s pretty important for the final 2 episodes! We sadly don’t have his pov… yet….
Gotoga: State – Chained life
he/him
He was also a part of the conspiracy in state 2.5.
Gotoga has a good and interesting pov of chained life! I haven’t watched a lot of it, but he is pretty vital ESPECIALLY near the end. I recommend his pov, at least for the latter part!
Lianam: State – Chained life (semi)
any
Lianam is mostly known for his pov on state 2.5, that explores a lot about day break media and how they got a lot of their news. Along with that it just shows us a lot of his pov overall for the event.
She was only very briefly in chained life, subbing in for Cynikka in session 6!
LordBurney: State – Chained life he/him Burney is for the most part a youtuber, uploading variety content occasionally!
For state, he’s most known for when he was a high ranking member of Aculon in 2.0!
In Chained life he mostly tried to avoid trouble whenever he could, but he wasn’t afraid to speak up. He also ended up seemingly in the middle of it often. He communicated with ghosts too. I really enjoy his pov!
Jawunleashed: State – Chained life – Decayed and Decrepit – Soul hunt
he/him
Jaw makes videos occasionally and streams a lot of events he’s in!
He’s event staff for state, but was also the original warden in 1.7! (prison)
Jaw wasn’t in chained life for a long time but for a good time! His pov is super fun and short. It’s easy to watch so I recommend it for a good time!
His DaD experience is LONG from a good time and he is probably one of the ones who’s gone through most. It’s incredibly peak and his acting is fantastic!
Meagon: State – Chained life – Decayed and Decrepit
she/her
Meagon is a pretty new state player, joining in 2.7 where she was basically the main person of the afterlife after her quick death.
For chained life, she stayed mostly out of things, and kept a whimsical spirit through most of it. Her pov is really fun! There’s a ton of more goofy parts that I find really amusing
In DaD, Meagon is part of a 4 man found family and I love each of them a lot <3 She plays a character who came to Paradise city to find out more about it, after she got a note implying there was still life there.
DaHouse_Panda: State – Chained life
he/him
Panda is a streamer! He streams mostly Minecraft and plays in a lot of events!
He hasn’t played a major character in state at the moment afaik, but he was in Nevermore with people like KaNukei, Ymi, TMCMoon and some others in 2.5!
He and Legacy had a lot in common when it came to chained life, at least if you simplify both of their stories. It was only really in session 5 that they both kind of had two different plans. But I really enjoy Panda! He’s very fun to watch ANYWAY THAT IS ALL… i was going to add something about chained/state adjacent people like TMCMoon and Molyhydra but i am getting too tired im so sorry LOL. please forgive me i Really like chained life and the people in it (hope this can help at least a tiny bit!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is a big help! I definitely see a few of these people that I'm gonna need to check out!
@mcytspotlightbrackets consider this a big block of collective propaganda for the whole Chained Life/State SMP/Decayed and Decrepit contender division. Let's cast the spotlight this way; everyone check out some of these guys, and if you like what you see, consider voting for em!
