C! Wilbur

Wilbur is a human with light skin, black eyes, and brown wavy hair, that's all sorts of messy. After his resurrection, Wilbur wears a dark brown coat over a yellow sweater and a bloodied bandage on his left arm. He claims that it is the same trench coat he’d been wearing at the time of his death. His previously all-brown hair now has white streaks running through the front of it, presumably as an aftereffect of his death or revival. He has black fingerless leather gloves and a lmanburg patch.

This page is about the character on the Dream SMP. For the streamer who plays this character, see Wilbur Soot. For his ghost counterpart, see Ghostbur. Oh wait before I go, Tommy, don't trust those Americans! Wilbur Soot's final words to Tommy before going back to Utah.[7]

Wilbur Soot, also known as Will, or Alivebur, is the 14th member of the Dream SMP, having made a cameo appearance on July 12, 2020, and properly joined on July 16, 2020. He is the key founder and first president of L'Manberg, as well as the unofficial figurehead of Pogtopia. He is the son of Philza and the father of Fundy.

During this period, he came to believe that his L'Manberg's core ideals had failed, as a result he eventually declared his intent to destroy the newly-renamed Manberg. In order to achieve this, he betrayed Pogtopia by working with Dream to detonate Manberg during the Manberg vs Pogtopia War. After the detonation Philza, his father, ultimately killed him upon his own request - this, his last death, is considered to be assisted suicide.

During his period of death, despite the appearance of Ghostbur, some aspect of Wilbur remained as a separate consciousness in the afterlife. Ghostbur's manifestation called the status of Wilbur's physical body into question, and it was later confirmed that he was left in the button room where he died.

On April 29, after Tommy and Ghostbur tried to break in to Pandora's Vault to kill Dream, Wilbur Soot was revived by Dream using the Revival Book.

Since his revival, Wilbur has expressed his gratitude and admiration for Dream, and seems to have retained much of his pre-death penitent for conflict and power struggles. Wilbur has sought to establish a new place of influence for himself on the server through a burgeoning business rivalry with Quackity's Las Nevadas.

After this point the Dream SMP diverged into two timelines, the standard timeline and the Wilbur Soot Timeline. Due to meta issues, Wilbur released a part of his character's story in the form of A03 story "The Wilbur Van". Wilbur and Quackity's rivalry spirals out of control, leading to Ranboo's death. In response Wilbur, realizing what he had done went onto an apology tour, making amends with the people he's hurt. He finally met with Tommy, whom he bid his final goodbyes too before announcing he was leaving the SMP to return to his home, Utah, marking the end of Wilbur's story.

Advertisement Physiology Appearance Wilbur is a human with light skin, black eyes, and brown hair. Before his creation of L'Manberg, he wore a white shirt, black jacket, black pants, and black shoes. He also had an outfit with a yellow sweater and red beanie, which he only directly wore during non-canonical events.

When he created the Camarvan to brew drugs, Wilbur briefly wore an orange-and-black varsity jacket from his Minecraft Championship 7 team, the Orange Ocelots.

As the general of L'Manberg, he wore the standard revolutionary uniform: a blue blazer, white dress shirt, cream breeches, red sash around the waist, tall black boots, and a white-and-black tricorn hat.

As the first president of L'Manberg, he wore a formal dark blue suit with golden shoulder pads and a red tie.

As an outcast from Manberg, he wore a long brown trench coat (with a red stain that Wilbur claimed to be blood, wine, or food), gray shirt, black cloak, and fingerless black gloves. He also rolled up the sleeves of the trench coat unevenly. Nihachu now possesses the cloak, and wears it to remember Wilbur.

After his resurrection, Wilbur wears a dark brown coat over a yellow sweater and a bloodied bandage on his left arm. He claims that it is the same trench coat he’d been wearing at the time of his death. His previously all-brown hair now has white streaks running through the front of it, presumably as an aftereffect of his death or revival. However, on his May 5th stream, he stated that it was likely caused by stress.

Biology Wilbur's mother is reportedly a Samsung Smart Refrigerator, though this was later confirmed to be untrue and he only thought the fridge was his mother because he misunderstood Philza when he said that the picture on the fridge is his mother and cannot be convinced otherwise.

Though he takes the appearance of a regular human, this half of his species is also up for debate, as it is still unknown whether Philza is part of another species or not. Wilbur did not inherit Philza's wings, nor did he have a single life like his father.

Despite his outward human appearance, it has been implied that Wilbur had blue blood before his transition into Ghostbur, further proving his inhuman nature.[8] It's not clear if this is true, because his resurrection skin implies red blood.

It's also not clear yet if Wilbur's resurrection has affected his biology in any meaningful way - he described feeling "numb" upon coming back to the real world, and he consistently reacted numbly towards Creeper explosions. The white streak in his hair is from stress, and not the inherent act of resurrection.

Personality Independence Arc Before the war, Wilbur was cocky, caring, and self-assured, with a firm instinctual belief in the principle of personal freedom. Despite his pseudo-confidence, he seemed fairly unaware of the dire consequences that forming a nation would bring.

However, as the key founder and the first president of L'Manberg, Wilbur displayed strong charisma and leadership skills, and heavily preferred to use words rather than weapons, consistently sticking to this moral of non-violence.[9][10][11][12] This moral would be heavily influenced and changed by his encounters with war, though, and Wilbur would eventually become hardened, and resigned to the reality that power is dictated through pain.

Before and during the Dream Team SMP vs. L'Manberg War , he tried to prevent and de-escalate the conflict, only resorting to violence after negotiations fell through. He also banned armor in L'Manberg (when not in battle) in the hopes of forming and reinforcing a peaceful nation - this rule would stick until the country's demise.

Wilbur was also a resilient leader and refused to back down on several occasions, despite facing incredible odds and death.[13] He only considered surrendering when the L'Manbergians had all of their items stolen after Eret's betrayal and had their land blown up by TNT.[14] Contrary to popular belief, he did not force anybody to fight for him during the war, and displayed trust in his fellow soldiers, loyalty to their cause, and selflessness. He even at several points used himself to draw the fire of the opposing side.[15][16]

Despite being one of the more lawful characters on the SMP and claiming to have a powerful moral compass (as he preferred to seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts), however, Wilbur was a cunning character when he needed to be, and often employed tricks to fulfill his goals with as little resistance as possible. He often acted in his own best interest, especially before the conceptualization of L'Manberg. During the time he tried to start a business built on corporate scamming, he even dubbed himself a "Dirty Crime Boy" due to his participation in some unlawful schemes. For example, L'Manberg's capital, the Camarvan, initially started as a drug empire that scammed potion brewing materials from other people to achieve a monopoly.[17]

He also attempted to immorally consolidate his presidency out of a fear of losing control: he planned to host a "democratic" election with only his party as a candidate,[18] and he intended to use Jschlatt's endorsement as a political tool to raise public support for his party. Although he did not bar other candidates from entering the election, and did not bar the formation of coalitions, Wilbur likely allowed these things to pass solely due to pressure from the citizens rather than his own opinion.

He would later admit that he didn't actually mind Quackity's running against him, and only took issues with Schlatt's candidacy, as he believed that Quackity actually had good intentions for the nation. Despite the elections beginning with less than perfect morals, Wilbur would develop a fairer outlook, intending to step down with respect should he lose. He treated Quackity (his main rival) with some degree of fondness despite their contest, though they did not see eye to eye, and generally acted formally towards him (and presumably the nation as a whole).

Throughout this arc, Wilbur also displayed a persistent interest in literature. As Tommy negotiated L'Manberg's independence with Dream, Wilbur asked Fundy to read him "Ozymandias," a classic poem about the fall of a kingdom. He also kept and collected many of the written books on the server (such as POG2020's old election politics, war documents, and the Declaration of Independance). He shared the books with Tubbo, who had a similar interest, but kept them in his ender chest when he lost his L'Manberg citizenship.

Additionally, during his presidency, Wilbur dealt with a lot of stress behind the scenes - he would later describe it casually as a "crippling depression." This stress likely started with the burden of leading a nation through a war they almost lost and was undoubtedly spurred on by rising disobedience in the country (such as the civil war between Fundy and Tubbo). Even as the threat of losing his presidency mounted with the L'Manberg election, Wilbur maintained a strong front for the nation's citizens, and only admitted to his stress post-death.[19] This repression likely served as one of the precursors to his later downward spiral.

Despite all this, L'Manberg was arguably at its most peaceful under Wilbur's presidency, as per Ghostbur's later admission.

Manberg Rebellion Arc Wilbur initially believed that his and Tommy's plan to take down Schlatt's administration was morally correct due to Schlatt's dictator-like rule. However, he soon reconsidered this stance, as Schlatt had been democratically elected, and lost his faith in Pogtopia, reaching the conclusion that he had inadvertently become the villain.[20] His prior trust issues worsened, leading to a state of paranoia, as more and more people seemed to leave his side (namely Fundy, who was seemingly loyal to Schlatt and had disowned him).[21] He eventually convinced himself that everyone on his side would abandon Pogtopia once they realized that they had no real power, and attempted to express this to Tommy. [22]

Fearing abandonment, Wilbur acted somewhat controlling towards Tommy and Tubbo initially. He projected his own fears onto Tommy in order to ensure that Tommy would stay,[23] although he would later regret provoking Tommy excessively,[24] and come to accept that Tommy would dislike him in the end. As he spiraled further into his paranoia, Wilbur revoked his previous non-violent and diplomatic ways, instead resorting to plans of violence and destruction. Because more and more people joined Wilbur's side in Pogtopia, this cemented his idea of power influencing the people, leading to him becoming more resolute in his plans.[25] Wilbur believed they had only joined due to a shared hatred of Schlatt, and that he was still completely alone.

As his plan developed, Wilbur prepared himself mentally for the probability that he would need to kill anyone caught in the crossfire of the coming war, even his own allies.[26] Later, Ghostbur implied that Wilbur had believed at the time that nobody liked him.[27]

Wilbur vehemently denied the idea that his mental health was slipping, trying to justify his thought processes to himself and others.[28] He believed that L'Manberg needed to be destroyed because its ideals of freedom from tyranny had been permanently lost.[29] Wilbur did not value superficial power - he denied the leadership position in Pogtopia, and denied the presidential position in L'Manberg after the Manberg vs Pogtopia War. He was dangerously possessive over the main idea of L'Manberg, and the idea of it being owned by anyone else frustrated him, furthering his desire to destroy it before it could be corrupted further.

Wilbur persistently referred to L'Manberg as his "unfinished symphony," claiming that if he couldn't have L'Manberg, no one else could. These actions demonstrated that his ultimate goal (and the thing he valued) was the concept of control, not power, and points further this being a continued reason for his paranoia. This idea followed Wilbur to his death, before which he declared that his symphony would be forever unfinished without its conductor alive to finish it.

Despite his withering trust, during the Manberg Festival, when his ally Niki appeared to be in mortal danger from Schlatt, he stepped in in an attempt to save her by risking his own life.[30] He consistently struggled to press the button that would detonate Manberg, and reportedly visited the button room seven or eight times before the Manberg v Pogtopia War.[31] On the day of the final detonation, Wilbur needed to talk himself into pressing the button, and displayed genuine remorse for his doomed nation.[32] Despite people constantly trying to persuade him otherwise, and his general indecisiveness, Wilbur's one reassurance was the knowledge that he would detonate the TNT, and he always promised himself that he would return to it.[33] In fact, Wilbur didn't consider Pogtopia to be a home at all, and believed that he had no place in the world after the loss of his L'Manberg.[34]

In the last moments of his life, despite the apparent victory of the revolution, Wilbur expressed heavy discontent with his irreversible losses and the ongoing violence, believing that L'Manberg's core ideals of freedom and peace had been lost forever. Despite this sadness, however, Wilbur believed that he was doing his L'Manberg a service by destroying it, as it would no longer be subject to any tyranny. [29] His death was ultimately remembered as a good memory by Ghostbur, as Wilbur believed that no one liked him, and that he was doing the world a service by dying.

Wilbur has said that at the end of his corruption arc, his character's D&D alignment is neutral evil, bordering on chaotic evil. [35]

Wilbur is on the border of chaotic and neutral evil. Wilbur, in his chaotic sense, is a crazy man who wants to blow up his old nation and kill his friends. But, more realistically, in his neutral sense, Wilbur is the archetype of a man who had great power and who lost it all due to his own poor choices and negligence who sees destruction as his ratification.

Post-death As a separate being from Ghostbur, his spectral Earth-bound counterpart, Wilbur was outwardly calmer than before, having shed some of his more severely manic tendencies, and generally acting cheerier than before. [36] When he appeared to Tommy and Tubbo after they imprisoned Dream, he acted much like he did during the L'Manberg independence arc, prior to his fatal spiral into paranoia. [37] Wilbur bickered fondly with Tommy despite his apparent frustration at the resurrection news, [38] and was also genuinely proud of their peaceful victory[39], attempting to cheer Tommy up after the initial surprise of his appearance. [37]

He was largely unaware of the current state of the Dream SMP (as evidenced by his lack of knowledge about his attempted resurrection[40]), but was content in his death and had no wish to be revived, resisting the idea consistently. His cheerful mood changed when Tommy proposed reviving him, and he berated Tommy and Tubbo for bringing it up as a possibility.[38] He was completely caught off-guard by the fact that the people of the server had kept Dream alive solely for the possibility of bringing Wilbur back to life, displaying a remnant of his past exile-era belief that no one liked him. [41] However, due to Tommy's desire to have him back, Wilbur seemed to, at one point, almost reluctantly accept the likelihood of a later return to life. [42]

Wilbur's depressive state reportedly seemed to have only gotten worse in his state of death, as he increasingly talked about unsettling topics, and continued to hold the desire to remain dead. [43] He was happy to see Tommy arrive in the afterlife[44], and seemed to genuinely believe that Tommy and he had only been detrimental to the server,[45] believing that if he were ever to be resurrected, things would only go downhill again.[46] The long isolation did nothing to benefit his mental health, and it could be argued that he is still in a near-identical self-blaming mindset to his immediate pre-death state. Though he has been consistently warned about,[47] it would not appear that he has actually threatened anything towards the SMP, and it's not clear if he has any intentions at all in his deathly state, instead focusing on learning about a wide variety of topics (such as the apparent end of the known universe).[48]

This is after everything. Quackity and Wilbur finally called a truse and in this AU they are boyfriends- and soon to be fiances(?)
