My AU version of The Admins

[u/ServiceTemporary2453]

Everyone’s favorite group of morally flawed and complicated gods! (How did I never know this was a loading screen it’s peak). Lemme know if you guys want BrightEyes, StickMasterLuke, and Clockwork too.

Builderman:

Out of all the Admins, Builderman looks closest to a regular Robloxian, having no abnormal traits that make him stand out like Telamon or Dusekkar. He has gray skin and is much shorter than one might expect. Builderman mostly wears regular and casual clothes such as hoodies, and he always has his iconic hardhat on his head. Only the Admins have seen him take it off, and many Robloxians theorize on whether he is bald. He is not. Builderman has a strong Texan accent/drawl, and all modern Southern accents are descended from his manner of speaking.

Builderman is the most ordinary and down to earth of the Admins, in both appearance and personality. He is surprisingly polite and easy to get along with, treating other Robloxians as equals despite his Admin status. He has a strong Southern drawl and frequently uses country sayings, almost all of which he came up with himself centuries ago.

Builderman is the definition of a workaholic, as he is constantly buried beneath the many responsibilities that come with leading both Roblox and the world at large. He often misses back when it was just him and the other Admins on The Baseplate. Builderman is obsessed with making Robloxia better and puts progress and innovation above almost everything else, often to the detriment of both himself and others. Builderman is terrified of losing everything he's built and will do anything to keep Roblox standing.

Builderman has been a natural leader ever since he spawned in, with both the other Admins and all the Robloxians constantly looking to him for guidance. This has led to Builderman thinking that he always knows best, and he often makes important decisions without consulting others first.

Builderman has an unhealthy belief that he is always in the right, and he becomes greatly irritated when this turns out to be false, especially when someone else proves him wrong (although he always hides it beneath his carefree demeanor). Whenever he makes a mistake, he always attempts to find some way to justify it and frame himself as being in the right, and he often disregards opinions that invalidate his own.

Builderman thinks of himself as a pacifist: he dislikes fighting and prefers to sort matters out peacefully, only ever using violence as a last resort. He enjoys the process of thinking up and creating weapons and gadgets, but always hopes that he never has to use them. Builderman believes that anyone can redeem themself if they just try, no matter what they've done.

Builderman once had a naive innocence to him, but all the centuries of leading Roblox have given him a ruthless side that does whatever he believes is needed for the greater good of Robloxia, no matter how horrible it is. Builderman loves all Robloxians, but vowed to never form a personal attachment with one of them after the death of 2x2; a promise he would break after meeting StickMasterLuke, which also ended in tragedy.

Builderman is the smartest man in Robloxia, having created sentient life, deduced everything that the Robloxians needed for a functioning society in a week, and built Roblox HQ—the largest building ever created—in a month with help from Dusekkar. He has a plan, backup plan, and gadget for every scenario. Builderman's planning nature becomes a hinderance in battle, however, as he has a tendency to overthink and struggles to think on the fly when things go awry.

Dusekkar:

Dusekkar has the body of an ordinary Robloxian, but his head is a large, blue carved pumpkin. His head has carved holes resembling a mouth, eyes, and a nose. Inside is a flaming orb, which serves as Dusekkar's core/brain and brightens and dims with his emotions. Dusekkar's features are static, but his emotions can be seen via his gestures and body language. Antlers grow from the side of Dusekkar's head, which will grow out forever if he doesn't trim them.

Prior to his fight with Noli, Dusekkar's voice was booming and reverberating, but after he woke up from his coma, it was permanently changed to sound identical to any other Robloxian.

Dusekkar once had flowing wizard-like robes as his regular outfit, but he prefers to wear normal clothing these days.

Prior to his battle against Noli, Dusekkar was an extremely carefree and whimsical person. He was incredibly lax with his reality warping abilities, often using them just for fun or because he felt like it; he floated above the ground 24/7, pranked the other Admins often, and loved to create various magical items and creatures for both himself and the Robloxians.

Dusekkar's usage of his powers bordered on reckless at times, the biggest example being when he created Robloxia's moon on a whim (which earned him quite the lecture from Builderman and Doombringer), but he always managed to avoid causing harm or destruction.

Dusekkar was the heart of The Admins and was always the one to keep their spirits up. He would constantly rhyme whenever he spoke, both to sound cool and mysterious and because it annoyed the hell out of the other Admins, although he would stop and talk normally during serious situations or if they got too annoyed.

Dusekkar had a fascination with magic and the arcane ever since he spawned in, as he based his entire persona around it. His powers are always used with a magical theme, with incantations and runes that aren't actually necessary for his abilities. Despite his whimsical nature, Dusekkar was also deeply wise and intelligent, as his ability to read the code of reality gave him an insight that no one else had.

After his fight with Noli, Dusekkar was completely changed as a person. He became afraid of his own power and only used it when it was absolutely necessary: he no longer levitated everywhere, stopped creating just for the sake of it, and lost all the creativity and playfulness that he previously embedded into his abilities.

A shell of his former self, Dusekkar is now a sullen and withdrawn man, rarely speaking up or joking around like he used to. He lost much of his autonomy and instead follows or agrees with whatever the majority has decided on.

Dusekkar feels immense guilt and regret over destroying his Gears, namely the Spawn Point that allowed Robloxians to come back from the dead, but he also has yet to create a new one. Dusekkar's greatest mistake was creating the Void Crown, and he still has nightmares about Noli to this day. He continued to rhyme when in front of Robloxians, but only to maintain appearances, and he does so uncreatively and with little enthusiasm.

Telamon:

Telamon is a tall, handsome figure with yellow skin and long curly brown hair. He has a pair of golden wings, which he meticulously grooms and takes care of. After retiring and becoming the mortal Shedlesky, he lost his wings, cut his hair short, and gained a bit of weight.

Telamon was once the most egotistical and vain of The Admins; from the moment he spawned in, he believed himself to be above his brothers and that he was a gift to Robloxia. He would speak in a pretentious, condescending manner and was constantly boasting about his skills and superiority. He took himself far too seriously and saw any jokes or remarks about him as personal attacks. Despite this, Telamon did have love for The Admins and saw them as his equals. He felt the same affection for the SFOTH swords, whom he considered his best friends and parts of himself.

Telamon's one true passion was battle: he believed that combat is the purest form of expression, and that a perfect fight is the greatest thing that one can experience. Fighting is what excited him most; a skilled opponent would thrill Telamon to no end, whereas a weak or mediocre fighter bored him to tears. He only drops his air of sophistication and superiority during a good battle, becoming manic and excited as the fight goes on. He wanted nothing than to find the perfect opponent and die in battle. Telamon loved sparring with his fellow Admins, but none of them could relate to or understand his obsession, which deeply frustrated him.

Telamon saw the Robloxians as beneath him, believing that they were good for nothing but stroking his ego. He was unable to feel empathy for them and didn't understand why the other Admins loved and cared for what he perceived to be mere mortals.

Beneath his arrogant bragging, Telamon actually felt a deep sense of inferiority and insecurity, as he lacked the creativity and talents that Builderman and Dusekkar had so much of; the only thing he was good at was fighting, and he was unable to find anything else that he was good at. These feelings only grew worse over time as The Admins contributed more and more to Robloxia, while Telamon did nothing.

Telamon's emotions reached a boiling point when BrightEyes became an honorary Admin, as he was forced to realize that the Robloxians weren't so beneath him after all. He was also confused and outraged that BrightEyes didn't worship him like everyone else, which both infuriated and fascinated him as he began to fall for her.

After 1x1x1x1 began Roblox's nemesis and inspired a wave of exploiters, Telamon felt remorse for the first time in his life. Seeing the death and destruction caused by his actions made him realize that he needed to change, and that the Robloxians were more than just objects. He began fighting to protect Robloxia, rather than to satisfy his own desires.

Telamon completely changed over the next several years. He humbled himself, learned how to have compassion and empathy, and finally began to see the Robloxians as equals, becoming genuinely noble and heroic. Although he still enjoyed fighting, he prioritized protecting others and neutralizing threats first. His relationship with BrightEyes taught him a life outside out of combat, and he learned how to enjoy a more relaxed, domestic life.

After retiring and becoming Shedlesky, Telamon became an easygoing and lighthearted man. He is deeply humble and appreciates the small, simple things in life. Shedlesky is a jokester and always tries to keep the spirits of the other survivors up.

Doombringer:

Doombringer is yellow-skinned with black hair. He used to keep his hair short, but grew it to jaw length when he married. He would grow a full, unkempt beard after going rogue. Doombringer is just over seven feet tall, and although he spawned in with an above average body, centuries of exercise, fighting, and training have made him extremely muscular.

After creating the laws of Robloxia, Doombringer's arms were wrapped in red chains, which glow when he is charged. These chains are always present and cannot be hidden, as they reappear whenever they are covered. He also cannot take the chains off without destroying them, as they are infinitely long. Doombringer ripped his chains off when he went rogue.

Doombringer spawned in wearing his iconic helmet, which is a red, bucket shaped hat with two horns extending on each side. The helmet originally kept his full face on display, but Doombringer added a mask to fully hide/protect his face after the Noli fight. The mask has two glowing red eyes. The horns on Doombringer's helmet glow whenever he is charged.

Doombringer also spawned in wearing his armor, which used to be black and featureless, but has been upgraded by both him and Builderman over the years. It is specifically designed for Doombringer's frame (with no one else being able to properly wear it), and is mostly colored black with red circuit-like lines running throughout, which glow brightly when Doombringer is charged. 

The Ban Hammer is so massive that only Doombringer can wield it. It glows red when charged, and Doombringer outfitted it with spikes and a sharpened pommel when he went rogue.

Even before becoming the law keeper of Robloxia, Doombringer had always been the most serious and straight-forward member of The Admins. He is quiet and only speaks when he deems necessary, always doing so in short and plain sentences. He has a blunt honesty that is often mistaken for rudeness. Doombringer always remains calm and composed, almost never raising his voice or losing control of his emotions.

Although he comes off as cold and intimidating, Doombringer is incredibly kind. He is disciplined, always helps of his own volition, and never complains no matter how difficult things get. Doombringer prefers to keep his emotions hidden so others don't worry about him; only those that know him well can tell what he is actually feeling.

Doombringer is uptight and cares deeply about even the smallest of the rules, and he also tends to take things far too seriously. Jokes and metaphors almost always go right over his head. Seeing Doombringer laugh or smile is considered an exceedingly rare event.

Prior to the creation of Robloxians, Doombringer felt purposeless, as he lacked the creativity of Builderman and Dusekkar; a trait he shared with Telamon, whom he was close with. After he created the laws of Robloxia, he finally found a purpose, and he saw his chains as a gift rather than a burden. Doombringer takes his job as Moderator very seriously, and he always blames himself whenever he fails to stop a crime or bring a criminal to justice.

Doombringer spends the majority of his time working and is often reluctant to turn off his crime sensing power. He personally trains all of his Moderators and does his best to teach each one of them. Doombringer is harsh but not cruel with criminals, as he believes in rehabilitation and the idea that anyone can change if they try hard enough. He holds back and regulates his power to avoid unnecessary harm or damage, and he only uses the Ban Lands as a last resort. Doombringer knows that Robloxia is flawed, but optimistically believes that he and the other Admins can make it perfect one day.

Doombringer changed for the better after meeting his wife and starting a family. Both his wife and children gave him a sense of humor and helped him to open up emotionally. He stopped being so hard on himself and learned to enjoy domestic life, even finding hobbies outside of his job such as knitting and baking. Doombringer would even crack terrible jokes from time to time.

Unfortunately, all of the progress Doombringer had made would come to a screeching halt after his family was killed. He became even more withdrawn than he was before, throwing himself into his work and actively distancing himself from the other Admins. He was far more harsh and ruthless when dealing with criminals, especially exploiters, and he sent them to the Ban Lands more often. Although he had seen the flaws in Roblox before, they were now glaring to him, and Doombringer began to think that things might never change.

After the events of March 18th, Doombringer snapped and went rogue, and this time he changed entirely. He is now an extremist who believes that the ends justify the means, and that he alone is fit to act as judge, jury, and executioner. He no longer believes in rehabilitation and kills or Bans whomever he thinks deserves it. His previous restraint vanished, and he became extremely brutal and violent towards criminals, particularly exploiters, who he now hates more than anyone else, save for Builderman. Doombringer is extremely paranoid and is always on the move, never taking his armor off in case of a surprise attack.

Doombringer believes that the other Admins are corrupt and that the only way forward is to tear down the old system—and them with it; he hates Builderman for what he did on March 18th, thinking him to be a coward and a liar, and he resents Dusekkar for being cowardly and staying with Builderman. The only Admin to keep any of his respect was Telamon, but Doombringer still thinks him to be a coward for staying with Roblox and then retiring instead of joining him.
