–Pot
Pot is a Droogle created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short stories Blank Slates 2 and Blank Slates 3 as a supporting character. He is a member of Crawler's LARPing Group and the Droogle Army in the Drawn to Life Village. He was the first to see Tombstone emerge from hiding, and was a principle player in the war against it. He was eventually sent into canon by Fanon:Temte Mapleleaf, where he observed the destroyed Deadwood.
Appearance[edit]
Pot is a blue, bird-like Droogle with a round head. He wears a metal chestplate and has a pot on his head. He carries a trident with him at all times.
Story[edit]
Blank Slates 2[edit]
Pot joined Crawler's LARPing Group with the rest of the Droogles after Mayo's campaign ended. Some time between this and the events of Blank Slates 2, he would meet and wed Goldie another Droogle. Later on, he joined Jinxy and the rest of the LARPing Group when they went to go fight the Tree King. After a long battle, Pot and the rest of the LARPing Group was trapped inside the Baki Temple.
Inside the temple, Pot was the first Droogle to begin roleplaying, becoming Vycter Jazper-Bralix, a traveling mercenary who kills those who he deems unworthy of their lives. Jinxy naturally falls into the roleplay as well, becoming Inq Eternos, someone who has spent his life chasing Vycter to end his quest of killing. Eventually, Vycter and Inq find themselves in a room full of gold and two pedestals. Jinxy hears a voice calling out to him, causing him to lose focus, giving Vycter a chance to kill Inq.
Pot, now out of character, wakes Jinxy up after noticing something strange happening at the exit. Jinxy goes with him, but the two take a pit stop in a vehicle room, where Pot adopts the Sea Anemone. The group then leaves for the exit, where they hear the new Tree King chasing after them. They break through the wall just in time to avoid the Tree King, and a second battle breaks out. Pot uses the Sea Anemone to transport injured and deceased Droogles off the battlefield.
After the battle, Pot asks Willham if he killed Salem Rose, and Willham assures him that Salem Rose would never come back. Jinxy then leads Pot back to his house, where he rests after a long battle.
Blank Slates 3[edit]
Pot is next seen two years later in the Droogle Graveyard outside the Drawn to Life Village, visiting his partner - Goldie's grave. While he talks to her, Tombstone, the fourth piece of the Jungle Creature, wakes up and begins absorbing Droogle bodies, including Goldie. Using her body, Tombstone scares Pot, who recognizes the Creature. As Tombstone descends back into the ground, Pot runs home and notifies Fox, the mayor of the village, that the Jungle Creature had returned.
Shortly after, Pot mobilizes with the rest of the Droogle army, lead by the Droogle Countess, and he is one of the many Droogles to attack Tombstone. He is disillusioned at first, blaming himself for bringing Tombstone to life, but Fox helps him get back into the fight. The army eventually defeats Tombstone with help from the rest of The Void, but a Shadow army led by Gingerfre accidentally revitalizes it, allowing it to completely absorb the village, encompassing it with a Shadow bubble.
After, all the combatants retreat to the Two Realms Plains, where they are told to ascend into the Developer's Grove or stay behind to fight, but only if they're truly ready to fight. After the speech, Pot sits on the edge of the stage with Fox and Repair Guy, all of whom were lost in fear, guilt, and anger. However, they are snapped out of it by Cecil introducing his militia to them. They are relatively unimpressed, and Pot notes that Tombstone was an amalgamation of their friends, families, and the Droogle Killer, who had been lost in the fight. He also tells them that they need to be able to lock up their emotions.
Just then, the Droogle Leader and Droogle Countess reunited, so Cecil's militia, Pot, Repair Guy, and Fox listened in to their conversation. They are joined by Mill shortly after, and the group approaches the Leader, forgiving him for his misdeeds and inviting him to lead the Droogle army once more. Soon after, Tombstone attacks the Shadow Village, but Pot stays behind with Crawler's LARPing Group.
After Tombstone absorbs the Shadow Village, Crawler tells the LARPing Group and Cecil's militia that they would head back to the Baki Temple to get weapons and upgrades for the newcomers in the group. Pot, excited to return to the Temple, explains to Sorcerer and Apprentice that he had lost Sea Anemone in the attack on the Drawn to Life Village, but Rata, Tat & Tat summon their UFO from inside the bubble, proving to the group that the village still existed beneath Tombstone's bubble. This excites the group enough to leave for the Baki Temple prematurely, leaving Crawler behind.
On their way to the Baki Temple, the LARPers and Cecil's militia stop at the Guardians' HQ, where most of the surviving fighters from the Shadow Village fight had gathered. Pot and Sorcerer let themselves into the private meeting in the HQ, letting the group know that both villages were still safe underneath Tombstone's bubbles. This excites the screeners, Guardians, and mayors, and Pot tells them that their group was heading to the Wii Village, prompting the Droogle Countess to take the Droogle army with them to be fit for God Ray Armor. At this point, Willham shoos everyone out of the building and makes an announcement to the villagers, telling everyone who wasn't planning on visiting either of the bubbled villages to go with the LARPing Group to be fit for God Ray Armor.
On the way to the Temple, Pot connects with Rusty, who he met earlier, and tells him that the Tree King, still stuck inside the Temple, could regenerate. When the group eventually arrives at the Baki Temple, Pot gets everyone's attention, informing them of the dangers behind the Baki Temple's door - the Tree King. After warning them all, he gestures to Cecil to break down the door, which he lets Pet do by digging under it. Pot runs into the Temple once the door was broken down, but doesn't find anything worth taking. When the group gathers again to leave the Wii Village, Pot is fit for armor and given a God Ray Charm by Hans, allowing him to add God Rays to his attacks.
On the way back to the Guardians' HQ, Pot and the LARPing Group start a travel session, though Pot finishes his session before the group finishes their trip. He then walks over to Rusty and Pet, who were no longer walking with Cecil's militia now that the freed Tree King was a part of their team. He asks Rusty what happened, and Rusty tries to deflect, but eventually caves in and tells the truth, saying that he wasn't able to lock up his emotions and that he wasn't the Hero everyone thought he was. Pot levels with him and changes his phrasing, telling Rusty that it's okay to be scared, but that he needed to push through it and fight anyways. Just then, they arrive at the HQ, but the Tree King starts fighting with the Guardians and mayors, so Rusty charges in to fight him.
After the Guardians, mayors, and others easily kill the Tree King again, Jinxy angrily accosts the group, asking why they let the Tree King free, and Skate, Violet's new body, asks why they were at the Temple when the plan was to be fit for God Ray Armor. Pot explains that they did get fit for armor, but that they also wanted weapons from the Baki Temple. However, while they're at the HQ, Temte notices the Two Realms Plains being engulfed by one of Tombstone's bubbles, drawing everyone's attention and causing many of the remaining fighters to ascend into the Developer's Grove. Pot is one of the few people who stay in The Void to fight.
When the fighters from the Two Realms Plains return, Pot listens to them explain their circumstances, and watches as Tombstone and its two new thralls - Drakon and Red Dragon emerge from the three bubbles. Pot helps fight against Tombstone proper, joining forces with the Droogle army again and taking advantage of his God Ray Charm. During the fight, Tombstone starts trying to absorb the fighters, and grabs Pot at one point. While inside Tombstone's limb, he urges the rest of the captives to remain calm, and he is soon rescued by the Droogle army. He continues fighting until nearly everyone is ambushed by one of Tombstone's limbs, and Temte uses her latent abilities from the Master of the Abyss to teleport them into canon before they can be assimilated into Tombstone.
In canon, Pot and the rest of the Droogle army appear before Deadwood, who had recently been destroyed by Salem Rose. Sitting inside the tree are Samuel and Robigo, both meditating. However, Pot watches on as the Droogle Leader realizes that he inadvertently lead to Salem Rose finding The Void, indirectly dooming both The Void and Deadwood in the process, causing him to break down.

Remember how we’d always try to break in and snoop around?
You were always so determined to figure out what was behind those doors…
I really miss you Goldie. I don’t think I can put into words how empty life feels without you.
I haven’t been going to Crawler’s LARPing Sessions, I haven’t been going to work as often as I should.
I know you’d be upset with me, but I just want to be here with you…
I promised you that I’d be strong, but I’m not doing too good. I loved you so much…
I still love you, and coming home to an empty bed every day is too much for me to handle. I wish I could bring you back…
I’m going to see you again Goldie. I promise I will. This isn’t the end for us!”
