Chapter 1: 1 - Quick Overview of Robloxians

Chapter Text

Robloxians are small beings of code, strung together by mesh and strings. There is an estimate of 380 million living Robloxians, and the number continues to grow. Robloxians live in Robloxia or simply Roblox along side NPC's and the now extinct Guests. As Robloxia evolved, so did the Robloxians, gaining more detail, the earliest Robloxians couldn't wear much, if anything, but now, the Newer Robloxians can do much, MUCH more with their appearance. The first Official Robloxian was named "Roblox" after the world it was created in, then came the Admins or 'Creators' of Robloxia/Roblox.

Robloxians are a curious species, most well known for putting random objects on their head and calling them hats. These objects can range from a Block of Cheese, a Burger, a Pizza Slice, to perhaps a whole other Robloxian or another living animal. Robloxians also come in MANY shapes, colours and Sizes, from some being just a stud wide and tall, to some breaking (somehow) 7 studs tall. Some are Blocky like the first few Robloxians, and others are much smoother in shape. Some Robloxians might not even be humanoid, or perhaps will be missing a limb but able to function as if it was there just fine.

Robloxians, like any large species, have sub-species, these include:

-The Bacons/The BaconHairs
-The Noobs

and an entirely different species that used to Co-exist with (most of) the Robloxians but is now Exinct which was The Guests, all of these will be detailed in a further page. NPC's are also a different species but they are still flourishing and well today.

Robloxian Hackers are Robloxians that have gained access illegally to the code that makes up the Experiences and Other Robloxians in Roblox. While usually only Admin Robloxians can access this, Robloxian Hackers also manage to get access. A Famous Robloxian Hacker that can be mentioned is c00lkidd, a Robloxian Hacker that is famous for making the c00lGUI which was used to destroy Experiences on Roblox. c00lkidd's most targeted Experiences were Natural Disaster Survival and Work At A Pizza Place, two rather old and famous Roblox Experiences. Things c00lkidd could do with the c00lGUI was:

-Un-Anchor all bricks
-Blast music (Mostly Spooky Scary Skeletons)
-Change his own appearance + Others Robloxians Appearances
-Make them change color rapidly
-slide their head around
-Change the meshes on their limbs
-Spawn a Floating Pad to fly on
-Flood the Server
-Summon ANY gear
-Add Fog
-Decal Spam
-the most used Decal was an image of himself with the message "Team c00lkidd join today!"
-Change Skybox
-and much more.

And that is only one Robloxian Hacker, there are many more examples and Hackers to be taken as well. c00lkidd has recently grown in popularity due to the Newer Roblox Experience Forsaken including him as a Playable Character.

c00lkidd is only one example, and more will be covered in a Robloxian Hacker's chapter.

Robloxian Admins, though mostly retired and barely show up in Experiences, are an important topic to cover too and will be getting their own chapter. But a Famous one that can be mentioned here is Shedletsky. Shedletsky is a Retired Admin and is mostly active on Twitter (I'm not fucking calling it X fuck Elon) nowadays, but he has retained his popularity by being included in many, MANY, Roblox games, and even making some of His own. He has been included in Forsaken as a Playable Character, The Robloxia Until Dawn also as a Playable Character and Block Tales as an NPC. And his own game named Sword Fights On The Heights or SFOTH. As an Additional Detail, Shedletsky's User, John Shedletsky is married to BrightEyes' (A lesser known Robloxian Admin) User, Christina Shedletsky.

This concludes the quick overview of Robloxians.

Chapter 2: 2 - Creation of Robloxians

Summary:

This chapter details how Robloxians are created/born

Chapter Text

Robloxians are a different species than NPC's and Guests but they will also be mentioned here too.

All Robloxians are created a little differently, all of them come from the SpawnPoint however. How they're created is up to you, you're the user and creator after all. But, all Robloxians spawn from the first Experience they play in, whether that be Natural Disaster Survival, Work At A Pizza Place, Phighting, SFOTH, or Block Tales, they will spawn in first and nearest SpawnPoint, which YOU determine. A newborn or Newspawn will often adopt the look of a 'default' robloxian. One of which being popular and big enough to be classified as a Sub-Species of Robloxian, The BaconHair. They only really grow up or become a Real Robloxian once you Verify your account, making them an official Robloxian. Official Robloxians have much more rights and or freedoms than Newspawns do, some of these rights are Making Experiences and Owning Robux.

Ultimately how a Robloxian is made is up to YOU. Roblox is all about 'powering imagination' so use yours and create a cool backstory if you want. Or if you don't you can always go with the "They popped out of a SpawnPoint one day" because that is the most lore accurate to Roblox we can get.

NPCs are made differently than Robloxians, since they do not have a User, their backstories are often related to the Experience they're in. Unlike Robloxians, NPC's cannot exit the Experiences they're made in, excluding very, VERY rare conditions. NPC's are made by Robloxians creating Experiences, so how the NPC came to be is ultimately up to the Robloxian or User creating them. NPC's cannot 'reproduce' in a sense, they just appear exactly like the Experiences. Some NPC's may look very, VERY similar to existing Robloxians, example being Shedletsky in Block Tales, while others will be their own characters, example being Griefer/Brad Block Tales. Just like a Robloxian, NPC's can come in several different shapes and sizes, an example would be Folly Regretevator, who is almost twice as tall as the average Robloxian and has smoother features unlike the average NPC. Another example would be a specific Rock with a Smiley Face in Block Tales, you can talk to him and it gives a few lines of dialogue.

Guests are and were created very similarly to Robloxians, Unfortunately they have since gone extinct from Modern Roblox. Guests were what unregistered or Unverified Users would be instead of Newspawns. Guests would spawn from Spawnpoints exactly like Robloxians. Unfortunately, since 2017, the Guests have been completely wiped from the world of Robloxia. With the only 'Guests' existing as NPC's and Robloxian's looking or Mimicking the look of Guests.

Chapter 3: 3 - Robloxian Sub-species

Chapter Text

There are 2 Major Robloxian Sub-species, The Noobs, and The BaconHairs, nowadays they have evolved to look different from each other, but they used to be rather undecipherable from one another, especially The Noobs.

Noobs are an often clumsy sub-species of Robloxian, much like Pandas. Older Noobs would often only sport a Yellow Head with a and arms, Blue torso and Green legs, however, in recent times Noobs have evolved to have different faces, different clothes and even accessories. Noobs are most known for their "OOF" death sound, and the fact that they were a staple of Roblox's Memes for quite awhile, and sometimes even still are used for many memes.
The term 'Noob' came from a misspelling of 'Newb' meaning 'Newbie', this was used to poke fun at New players of roblox, as they often sported simple clothing. But the term can be and or is reclaimed in a more goofy or happy manner, seeing the kindness of Noobs.
A few Popular Noobs that can be mentioned are Party Noob (Poob) from Regretevator and Noob from Forsaken.
Modern Noobs look different from the Classic Noobs, modern Noobs can look like anything but MUST retain their color scheme to be classified as Noobs. A Noob's simple avatar leaves much room for decoration and stylization luckily so you can probably make a Noob Avatar yourself if you really want! Overall Noobs are a large Robloxian Sub-species that is adored by culture and other Robloxians alike.

Bacons are a less clumsy Sub-species of Robloxian, responsible for the extinction of Guests, Bacon Hairs sport their signature item, The Bacon Hair, or as it's officially known as, the Pal Hair, but due to it resembling bacon strips it has been dubbed the Bacon Hair. Bacons, or Bacon Hairs, are less popular than the Noobs and are often seen or viewed as Childish, or perhaps stupid, or dumb, due to the fact that Most Bacon Users are smaller children that cannot afford Robux. However, SOME Bacons are extremely good at the games they play and are possibly older and wiser, these are the Bacons that break the stereotype of being 'stupid'.
Bacon fashion often sticks to the default avatar, however some may choose to spice it up, as said before, the Bacon's most defining feature is their hair, so some Bacons might choose to change their hair color. Some Users will give their Bacons a different shirt. Some Bacon hair can be found on the Catalogue that breaks some Bacon Hairs away from their normal, basic, Pal hair. Some of these hairs are called "White Bacon hair Cartoony Teal Outline" "White Bubble Bacon Hair" "Volcanic glowing orange Bacon hair" and "Epic black vs Neon pink outline bacon hair" many Bacons may choose to wear these hairs instead of the default because they spice up the design.
Some bacons however will keep their classic hair and change almost everything about themselves, but no matter what, their hair will stay the same. While these CAN be loosely classified as Bacons it is by a mere landslide that they are.

as a small side note while we're still on Bacon Hairs, a famous BaconHair Hacker is Tuber93 which will likely also get a little section in the Robloxian Hackers Chapter.

Chapter 4: 4 - Robloxian Admins

Chapter Text

Robloxian Admins are Robloxians with access to the code that makes up Robloxia and Robloxians, Admins often work for Builderman/David.Baszucki. While some Admins are retired, plenty are still working, without them Robloxia would likely fall apart. The most Powerful Robloxian Admins were Builderman, David.Baszucki, and Erik.Cassel. Builderman and David.Baszucki share a User, the creator of roblox, David Baszucki, while he used to use Builderman, he has almost entirely abandoned it in favor of his newer account David.Baszucki. Erik.Cassel is a dead Admin, he shares the name with his also dead User, Erik Cassel. Erik.Cassel was the co-founder of Roblox alongside Builderman, however in 2013 he unfortunately passed away after he 'lost his battle with cancer'. In memoriam of Erik Cassel, his famous hat, the 'Well Worn Hat' was renamed to "Erik Cassel's Hat" and a T-shirt was published for free on the catalogue that read "Erik is my HERO". Erik did have two children whos names are unknown but Accounts are not, these children's Robloxians are Stunshocker and Redustian.

Famous Admins in Robloxian history can include Matt Dusek, MrDoomBringer, Shedletsky, and BrightEyes. However there are MANY many more Robloxian Admins than just these.

Shedletsky, whos User is named John Shedletsky, is a retired Admin, John Shedletsky is married to Christina Shedletsky, whos Robloxian is named BrightEyes, so if you want you can count Shedletsky and Brighteyes married. Shedletsky is a Robloxian who is famous for making a few very popular games which are Sword Fights On The Heights and The Crossroads. Which used to be very popular in the older days of Roblox. Shedletsky doesn't join many experiences today, but when he does he is visible through a Epic Face meme on the leaderboard, since John liked the Epic Face meme so much he decided to put it there. BrightEyes is also a retired Robloxian Admin, but unlike Shedletsky she has not joined any experiences in a very long time. Shedletsky is mentioned as an NPC or Playable Character in many games, such as Block Tales where he is an NPC and Forsaken and The Robloxia Until Dawn where he is a playable character. BrightEyes is only mentioned in Forsaken where she is a skin for Shedletsky instead of a separate character.

MrDoomBringer whos User is named Cliff Chapmen (I think) was a Robloxian Admin Intern before being hired as an Admin in 2013, he resigned from his Admin position in 2014. However in 2019 Cliff Chapmen announced that he would still be working for Roblox, just internally. MrDoomBringer is mentioned as an Playable Killer in Forsaken as well as a strong NPC you can fight in another game i forgot

Matt Dusek is another Robloxian Admin that isn't mentioned much, Matt Dusek, whos user goes by the same name, Matt Dusek, was one of the first Robloxian Admins, following Shedletsky. He wears the signature hat, The Dusekkar. Matt Dusek is also one of the few Robloxians with a space in their name, as this was made impossible in 2007. Matt Dusek resigned from his job in 2019 so he no longer works for Roblox, classifying him and his Robloxian as a Retired Admin. Matt Dusek is mentioned in one game I play which is Forsaken, where He is a playable character.

Admins can or could do anything, from banning players, to joining private servers. In the next chapter we will talk about what the 'Banlands' is and what happens to Robloxians unfortunate enough to get Banned.

Chapter 5: 5 - The Banlands and Death

Chapter Text

The Banlands is the place that Robloxians go if they misbehave horribly. Robloxians have normal jails, such as the ones seen in Jailbreak, Pressure and even the one seen in Natural Disaster Survival, so think of the Banlands as the worst of the worst. The Banlands is basically hell. Robloxians who have broken the "Community Guidelines" may get 'Banned' or sent to the Banlands for a day or two. 'Breaking Community Guidelines' can look like: Bullying other Robloxians, swearing, or doing inappropriate actions in E+ rated experiences.

What does the Banlands look like? The Banlands is a dark, cold, or sometimes uncomfortably warm, location. Robloxians who are sent there often don't recover very well for the next few hours or perhaps days. The Banlands is dark, cold/warm, not only that but the Robloxians may also be poked, prodded, exploded, flung, or perhaps just have their meshes completely deleted. The Banlands is just generally not the best for your little Robloxian.

Popular Banlands Residents can include: 1x1x1x1, c00lkidd, and or Noli.

The sad truth about most Robloxians is that their Users often leave them the moment they're banned for longer than a few weeks. Lots of Robloxians are let out of the banlands only to never ever actually play in any experiences again due to their Users being gone, having created a new account and therefor already moved on. The Banned or Dead overflow the living and happy Robloxians. There is far more dead or banned Robloxians than active or living ones.

While Robloxians can be banned, Guests and NPC's cannot. NPC's are 'Non-Playable Characters' so they have nothing to be punished for, only their creator does. and Guests do not have an official profile associated with them, therefor cannot be banned, this was one reason why Guests were terminated from Robloxia's code, to ensure safety of Robloxians and Guests that were 'volatile in nature'

Account Termination and what it means for the Robloxian whos soul is linked to it. In the case of Account termination, the Robloxian whos 'soul' is attached to it will be forced into banlands for the rest of their 'life' and depending on who that Robloxian is or was, that can be years and years or just a few months. Death for a Robloxian occurs when anybody cannot remember their username or what they looked like. Imagination is what brought Robloxians to life, so lack of is what brings them death. Those who die in the Banlands remain in the Banlands. Nobody cares enough to get them out.

What happens to Robloxians who are not forgotten? Robloxians who are not forgotten, even in the banlands will stay alive even through all they have been or will be through. They live through imagination and creativity. 1x1x1x1 is still alive, Noli is still alive, and c00lkidd is still alive. They are all just suffering inside of the Banlands because your memory and imagination keeps them alive.

In all cases, whether a Robloxian exits or enters the Banlands, it is never ending well for them. Either, they come out scared, and shaken, or they get forgotten down deep below the servers. Or worse, they get their pain immortalized by the very creativity and imagination that gave them life.

Chapter 6: 6 - Robloxian Affection and Birth

Summary:

ways robloxians and similar species show affection

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Robloxians have several ways to show love, but first, lets discuss who and how robloxians fall in love.

A robloxian may fall in love in many ways, it is not uncommon for a robloxian to fall in love with an NPC however most Robloxians fall in love with other Robloxians. Robloxians who fall in love with NPC's may spend many amounts of time in the NPC's experience to spend more time with them. However, Robloxian on Robloxian love is much more common. an NPC x Robloxian relationship is also one of the only ways a robloxian can have a "biological" child, though it highly depends what subspecies the NPC however, True NPC's which look very similar to robloxians can indeed have a 'child' with a robloxian, however, an NPC like Sebastian Solace or Folly from Regretevator and Pressure are not able, since they're body types do not match up with robloxians.

Having children. When a Robloxian has a child with another Robloxian it will be made the way all robloxians are made, by Account Creation. Since Robloxians do not age, and are spawned in there is another way, a Robloxian may want to make an NPC instead of YOU making new account and going through all that just to give you and your partner a digital kid. When a Robloxian makes an NPC instead of a New Account there is many and much more customizable features. NPC's children is different however, NPC's come from Pill Babies, which are pill-shaped children who often just cry. and be useless. The aging process of NPC's is widely unknown, while some NPC's spawn in an age, some NPC's will simulate growing up with the experience they were created in.

Affection, Robloxians have different ways to show affection than us, since they do not have tangible hands, or proper collisions they have adapted ways of affection to match their condition.

1 - Clipping Together. If and when a Robloxian couple wishes to show affection, this gesture is similar to a hug, in an Experience where collisions are non-existent the two robloxians may align themselves and seemingly morph into one another, clipping into each-others meshes. While also being a form of love, this is also a fun trick robloxians can do with other robloxians even if they're not in love, as this can also be viewed as a sport of how many robloxians can stack into each other.

2 - Standing atop each other. This gesture can be viewed as 'rude' or 'unwanted' if it is done by the wrong person, however when done by two consenting and loving Robloxians it can be a show of trust and bonding. When one robloxian stands atop another robloxian to form a stack it can be a show of love, trusting that the other robloxian will not fling them, and also trusting them with leading them somewhere. If done by somebody random it can be seen as rude because why are you standing on my head bro.

3 - Hand Clipping. When a robloxian sits next to another robloxian their hands or arms may clip together, this is another form of emotional closeness that is exhibited by robloxians both in love, and robloxians not in love, however it is most often taken as romantic.

4 - Trust with Limiteds. When a Robloxian owns a "limited" item they may entrust the limited to their partner, this is seen as one of the most romantic things a robloxian can do, as trust with an extremely valuable item is highly adorable and loved. When a robloxian trusts another robloxian with their favorite Limited it is seen as an act of trust and love.

5 - Quality Time. Robloxians, like humans, enjoy quality time with their spouse or loved one. Playing experiences with their loved one is a form of love or bonding, bonus points if they play a 2-Player obby.
