I'm very sorry, but I am unable to like as the the number of likes has reached 'funny number'. Henceforth I will be waiting if any 1 person decides to break the funny number, then I will like. Perchance.
I think hermits lore-wise are somewhat like the dwarves in LOTR. They are definitely smaller, and tend to walk around with backpacks full of blocks, food, and riches. They love to hoard wealth over time, and take great pride in having a lot stored up, even if they ultimately never use their wealth for anything productive. They are generally solitary creatures, preferring to build up massive structures around themselves rather than live in a communal space. These structures are very much a reflection and extension of their own personality, and one can easily identify what hermit built what structure with a simple glance. However, their solitary nature is often assumed to mean that they are unwilling to collaborate or spend time with others - as such, when they group up towards a common goal, they can achieve great things.
@@eoghansailer5048 The dwarves could basically make ultra powerful and rare artefacts for the gods. Stuff like a magic/duplicating gold ring, a literal battle ship that could be folded and placed in your pocket, and Thor’s hammer So In that sense, the hermits are really good builders who just make the most over the top, unexpected stuff you could think of on the server
Common Characteristics of a member of the hermit species: - short stature - sticky fingers - natural aptitude for flight with their various wing types - antennae for communicating with other hermits - a fascination with diamonds - other abilities related to their type (such as undead, slime or pesky bird) These are just some fun ideas I have! I have really enjoyed seeing the story lead up to this and am excited to see where it goes!
I actually have a theory for the lore because of this: what if Mumbo because he's alone and can't find anybody, decides to inspect the rift and finds out that everyone got inside of the rift, and he realizes that they can't get home. So he finds a way to open up the portal again but doesn't exactly go to the same server? and he goes in multiple time until he finds them but when they go back in together, the portal doesn't lead back to the Hermit craft season 9 server? and then that's gonna be the start of season 10?
@@Wazabi290 NOW THAT IS BIG BRAIN........wait if there gonna be in season 10 and they have a universe traveller thingy wouldnt they just do it over and over again until they'll be back in season 9 again?!?
I think for the hermits as a race, fae would fit so well. Fae are known to be almost otherworldy creatures from another plain that humans and others can't possibly understand. They follow different kinds of rules of their own, known to find loopholes and be tricky with their words. Are big tricksters and love receiving gifts, usually foods or shiny teasure-like objects. They are also often thought of to have wings, and we know hermits have a strong affinity to their elytra. The elytra could be styled after bug types of wings to associate all the hermits into the "species".
Lore-wise I kinda picture the hermits as little people with enormous backpacks almost twice their size. They're known to be Travellers who explore every world they find and leave enormous monuments as their mark on the world. They earned the nickname "hermits" because of their oversized backpacks and whenever they start building they sort of just dump the contents on the ground and it comes out as a mega build. In short- They're short people who blow away people's expectations by doing big, enormous, incredible things.
The theories behind them throwing everything on the ground and creating monuments is from the large amount of supplies scattered around these monument, which are thought to have been extra resources scavenged by creatures known as "chest monsters" although little is know about them.
My species ideas. Hermits are driven by Diamonds, they are like a comfort to them, a feeling of safety. And although different seasons are separate from each other hermits remember snippets from previous series. Hermits are also incredibly long lived, some of their number being hundreds of years old. I also like the idea of hermits being like a big family structure with a lot of close sibling dynamics, especially when compared to the squabbling of the empires. Hermits are petty but they care enough to never leave someone in the dust.
I can see a scenario play out where Mumbo tries to unravel the mystery of where everyone went. Eventually he stumbles upon this portal, reactivates it, and brings everyone home.
Didn't you hear Mumbo has been on Empires for months, only being locked inside some dungeon, for being a nutjob. He went crazy from the strange place called empires
I actually have a theory for the lore because of this: what if Mumbo because he's alone and can't find anybody, decides to inspect the rift and finds out that everyone got inside of the rift, and he realizes that they can't get home. So he finds a way to open up the portal again but doesn't exactly go to the same server? and he goes in multiple time until he finds them but when they go back in together, the portal doesn't lead back to the Hermit craft season 9 server? and then that's gonna be the start of season 10?
I think mumbo should try to get to empires and end up in the version of HC where mumbo won the election and realizes how bad Grumbot is which leads to the next arc of season 9 after the crossover
I can just imagine mumbo going insane alone in the server and when they finally come back there would be a bunch of fake people (scarecrows, armor stands, statues etc.)
Ima - imagine Mumbo making an episode on hermitcraft right now. What if he was just minecrafting around and then the episode slowly devolves more and more into "where... where are all the people????" He could find the diamonds that went missing and just be like "hmm. I mean. It's not like anyone is using them!"
02:25 Scar following Grian into death is the funniest thing I've seen all day, and that perfectly cut wheeze at the end easily brings it to my top 5 favourite Desert Duo moments ever
I think that hermits should always be obsessed with diamonds. Making pillars out of them, trading them and most importantly, wearing them. Hermits LOVE wearing diamonds, and this above everything else helps you to tell them apart.
yes, hermits are the evolved species of villagers, building magnificent structures, all in the name of making more diamonds, and grown to be disgusted by emeralds
Building on that, it would be king of cool for the Hermits to make a bank or a greedy organisation that will do anything for diamonds. Quests, trade, contracts or even assassinations and war!
The difference between the Hermits and Empires is like the difference between the high school Robotics Club and the high school Drama Club. Everyone is now stuck in the auditorium together, and the robotics kids’ tools have gone from motherboards to paint brushes. 😂 Now they just have to wait for Principal Mumbo to come and unlock the doors so they can go home.
I imagine that the hermits have been "touched by the rift" in some way. They could then add a bit of purple in their design so they are visually different. Other than that I love the idea that they are just chaotic nomads :D
why this idea is good: 1. it plays on the LORE(tm) 2. it won't demand much work on your skins 3. it's definetly something that will unite hermits and last but not least IT'S GONNA LOOK SUPER COOL
The Hermit species is very sociable and dedicated. They can spend days of pure suffering just for a prank (applies especially to the ones with waffels on their head).
I’d imagine a hermit to be a slightly shorter, hard working, smart, and they’re really industrial. They’re like little ants in the fact that they can hold way more than their weight (due to the fact that literally every hermit has a full inventory and is always carrying around so much). Hermits on the empire just give off ant, steampunk, scientist, industrial, hobbit vibes.
I love how Pix said on stream that he only recaps what's in the episodes, and Grian IMMEDIATELY releases an episode with their whole interaction in it. He could not WAIT to make that joke
I feel like some sort of cross between Dwarves and Fae would fit very well, as Hermits are known for their love of flight, mischief, resource gathering, and massive projects!
Hermits strike me as a changeling-type species. Clever, quick-witted, and industrialist, but prone to wandering off on individual adventures, following thoughts on a whim, with slightly inhuman glints to their eyes and a penchant for chaos, and possible minor shapeshifting or 'glamor' abilities. Plus, changelings (at least Pathfinder changelings) are all incredibly variable due to the different types of 'hag' they can be descended from, and the multitude of heritages their other parent can be from; this accounts for the Hermits all being very different, despite sharing traits like love of chaos and dramatic flair.
Hermits are like ants -Small, apparently -Work in large groups and biuld larger and more more connected structures and infastructure -This comparrison doesn't hold up very well but it's fun so I'm sticking to it -Constantly going to war for some reason
I think it would be cool if the Hermits became something like merchants. They could incorporate some of the shops from hermitcraft into their builds and have almost a trading village. This would also allow each hermit room for their own build style and lore if they wanted. This could also be thurthered by having a big guild house instead of a castle.
I feel that Hermits have the ability to shape shift, changing their form when ever they like and have a love for diamonds. They are very mischievous, loving to pull pranks and create fun games for everyone.
I cant wait for mumbo to get on the Hermitcraft server, be alone, and be like "Did I miss something?" Then he probably going to end up finding the grumbot ask it some quetions, find out where everyone went, end up saving them by finding a way to open the rift (using redstone of course) for them to get home. Something like that. At least, thats how i imagine it.
Lore wise, I think the hermit species should be shapeshifters, in the way that they can shift to fit the story they’re telling. They have base forms, like Doc is a creeper, and Cleo a zombie, but with story shifting, they can become Medusas, or elves, or turtles or butterflies!
I think Scar, in general, is peak Hermit. Always starting off with something different every season but eventually doing whatever makes money, insane timelapses, and overall goodtimes. Also I like how Grumbot orchestrated this crossover so when Mumbo finally gets back he is the only one on the server and, therefore, de facto Mayor.
"Hermits are a specie of Player that specialize in testing the world around them to its very limit. The most notable characteristics of a Hermit are their shared penchant for mischief, their ability to grind for days on end without rest, and their love for the sky. Hermits are endlessly creative, and it is very rare to see a Hermit not working on a project (or several), no matter its size or importance."
It's actually quite cool that pixlriffs was able to just start a recap channel about something he enjoyed, and now he's literally meeting the people he's been a huge fan of for a long time. Quite amazing, what a crossover!
For hermits as a species, I think they should have nautilus shell hats with a portal purple tint, like hermit crab shells. Hermits love to fly so I can see them having insectoid wings with the coverings styled after the hermit hats.
I like the idea of the Hermits being just that…Hermits. Any of the hermits can choose a skin and backstory for their own character that best fits them but what connects them all is their choice of lifestyle and unusual origin…wanderers through a strange rift, unaligned to an empire or land on this server. I could see some fun gags happening from just some differences in customs between the Traveling Hermits and the people of Empires. Some common traits between hermits: They often go off on their own and establish grand homes for themselves away from the many empires. They’re more for doing their own thing than following the edicts of any one kingdom. The only common space that unites them is the Shopping District. See, many Hermits are often struck with an entrepreneurial spirit and will seek wealth in diamonds by producing goods and services needed by the other wandering Hermits. Many will amass great riches through invention and tinkering with redstone, while others would delight in the architectural arts.
Pixies! They’re smaller! And mischievous! And they come summoned into the human world through mushroom circles (reminiscent of hermits coming thru a portal into another server, no?) they are sometimes rumored infestactasous too I believe, fitting for hermits who have come into a new world and immediately cause trouble lol. Or otherwise you guys should just live up to the name and be hermit crabs! Each elytra would be a different shell too!
The hermits are able to hang out and make a city when they’re on hermitcraft. I bet the hermits will take advantage while they can and mostly do content with non-hermits. Tango already moved in with fwhip
Hermits are a sub-race within many known documented species. A few examples of these rare species are hermit dwarfs, hermit undead, and hermit slimes. This rare sub-species is known to be smaller from the rest of their kind, but in turn are great innovators in whatever field the desire, mostly documented to be master architects. Hermits are also theorized to come from another realm with its main habitants being hermits. Folklore states the realm the hermits come from it known as Hermitcraft.
Other sub-species include: hermit axlotl (hermitus-xolotlus) hermit creeper-goat-crazyscientist-robot (hermitus-GOATus) and, last but not least, hermit mustache-man (hermitus-mumbolius-jumbolius)
My theory is that Mumbo will return to hermicraft. he will get started up again, familiar with all that has changed and realise that no one is joining the server. He will eventually encounter grumbot who will tell him what happened, and that he need to open the rift. Mumbo will somehow open the rift on Hermitcraft's side, and send a red stone flying machine, along with a note on how to use it, to activate the portal from their side
Oh this is such a cute way to give mumbo time to catch up with the rest of the server while not stopping content for the viewers! The hermits are so sweet to each other I can't 😭
I feel like Hermits as a species would be somewhere in between Hobbits and Dwarves, since they have a combination of both nice builds and crazy contraptions, along with a great deal of infrastructure. Both are also a lot shorter than normal people, too.
Hermits aren’t necessarily short, however they tend to be viewed to at least hold a skillful wisdom that no one would know otherwise. Hermits are also seen as crazy in most circumstances. Hermits are also sometimes considered the first step to sage hood in fantasy and mythos.
I think mumbo will comeback to the hermitcraft server, realizing he is alone, finds the rift, realizing the others are trapped in the empires server, and will be the perfect lore to have a person who has been gone in the hermitcraft server be the one who brings the members back.
I think it's all been planned. Mumbo will be back and have to rescue the hermits, and him and grumbot will be mayor afterwards as I believe grumbot stole all the diamonds
I like to think hermits are a ridiculously variable species, even to the point one can change on their own (like how Scar (presumably) went from an elf to a human over the course of Season 9)
Grian at 1:43 has been my mood for like the past 2 weeks "It's the crossover of the century" And "There's so much lore I'm going to explode" Are 100% accurate
I think what makes hermits unique is their resourcefulness and wit. I think it would be neat if the hermit species was proficient in making unique looking tools so you don’t lose the iconic looks of who you are
i want lore explanations on eveyone who can remember each other, Scott Sausage and Pearl cant but Joel Jimmy and Grian do, Pixl is on another level as he builds this world
Hermits are a species of player that are shorter than the average player (and Bdubs is shorter than that) that love to travel via flight with the help of elytras. Each hermit has their own little talents but the two most common talents a hermit can have are building and redstone. Hermits love to be with one another and can be found in groups of 2 or more. Hermits are very creative beings and often take on hefty projects like mega bases as soon as they can. In some cases, you can find a hermit taking on more than one project at a time so it is uncommon to see a hermit not working on some form of a project. Hermits are also well known for their mischief. They are capable of pulling pranks big and small whether it’d be rearranging items in chests to building massive eye catching builds on other player’s bases. Hermits are also known for leaving chest monsters around the world so if you ever find a chest monster in the wild, know that it is a sign a hermit is either nearby or was nearby and has now left.
The Hermits feel like they'd definitely be a shorter species, obviously, and I feel like they could have some in game mob Lore, like bdubs is a Glare, Cleo is a Zombie, Cub and Scar are Vex, youre a Parrot, etc. And they kinda have their own mini society, where wars are games and diamonds are the currency. I kinda imagine them like Hobbits or elves, just there for a good time and to cause some chaos, just for the goofs and gaffs
I'd never thought we'd actually get a proper crossover between these two amazing servers, this is amazing! I think Hermits are like, stuff from folklore that travel around and leave machines and structures in their wake that no one truly understands the purpose of. I bet they are often used as a convenient excuse for when things are weird like "where did all my wheat go?" "idk probably a Hermit!"
I think that hermits are hard working people that can do a lot of things in a tiny amount of time. They are also good at prancing others and make others laugh
Hermits remind me of a mix of hobbits and moths. Whenever I see hermits flying around on their elytras, they remind me of moths around lamps. Especially when minigames and diamonds are involved. So I would base your hermit species off of that!! Sky: Children of the Light and of course the hobbit could be inspiration for your skins and designs!! Maybe instead of light, diamonds attract them; going off of the moth idea Another idea I saw that I loved would be basing them off of hermitcrabs Maybe you could have different types, one being more associated with light like moths, one more associated with trees and the ground like hobbits and gnomes, and one more associated with the coast like hermitcrabs These have been mentioned before, but I'd love to see where you all run with this!!
I'm just imagining Mumbo logs into the hermitcraft server and is just questioning where everyone is at. Also, he is officially the richest hermit in Hermitcraft because everyone else is in Empires.
Wait, so the Rift sends messages from Hermitcraft to Empires just fine, but completely scrambles the messages (and LIVING BEINGS APPARENTLY - Lizzie's fox villager turned into a regular fox when it came through) coming *from Empires* to Hermitcraft, so the Hermits might have come through to Empires in one piece, coming back however... might be a bit more complicated?
