Blaseball Career

Soul acted as a serviceable batter for the Millennials from the beginning of Season 1 until their incineration early in Season 3, at 4:20am on Day 14. The Umpire was aiming for Dominic Marijuana, and Chorby sacrificed themself to save him.

Starting in Season 2, Soul developed a fervent fanbase who are known for congregating in left field. Generally, the fans would wear bright yellow shirts with Soul's face across the front. In addition, they would alternately chant "Chorby Yes!" and "Chorby No!" depending on how Soul was playing at any given time.

When asked about the fans, Soul remarked, "I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing out here. I don't totally get Blaseball. So sometimes it's nice to have the fans let me know. Yeah."

Philanthropic Work

Soul earned significant praise for their affiliation with the charitable organization Society for the Prevention of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (SP2LT). They previously served on the Board of Directors (prior to incineration) and had previously donated large but undisclosed sums of money to the organization.

At a gala celebrating the opening of SP2LT's New York City headquarters under a decrepit bridge in Central Park, Soul told the crowd, "It's unfair that with so many technological advances in our modern world, we haven't found a way to stop the unceasing growth of entropy in our system. Stability good, entropy bad, Chorby Yes!"

Post-Incineration

After Soul's incineration, they took on a pseudo-religious significance among a subset of Millennials fans, apparently descended from their fervent fanbase during their time as a player. These individuals carried on the practice of the "Chorby chanting," but for any events that impacted the Millennials positively or negatively respectively, and it appears there was still some superstitious significance attached to the name of "Chorby" even after (or perhaps even due to) their sudden and dramatic passing. It is theorized by religious scholars that these cultists took Soul's surname as a sign that their influence would remain even after their fiery removal from the Immaterial Plane.

Among the various Chorby-styled incantations were the familiar "Chorby Yes" (now a prayer of thanks for positive fortune) and "Chorby No" (used as a prayer for deliverance from bad innings, Shames, or other blaseball misfortunes), but also "Chorby Pls" (a prayer of supplication) and "Chorby Bless" (used similar to the "Chorby Yes" but demonstrating the continued transformation of the chants to a religious exercise) and, most commonly, "Chorby Thanks". In addition to the chants, some Millennials composed hymns, one example of which is reproduced below:

I heard there was a soul named named Chorb

Who swung a bat at the pitcher's orb

But you don't really care for blaseball, do ya?

Well they'd step to bat in the fourth or fifth,

Sometimes hit the ball, mostly swung and whiffed,

A baffled soul composing Chorbyllujah

Chorbyllujah, Chorbyllujah

Chorbyllujah, Chorbyllujah

Well, your faith was strong and your will was steeled,

As you saw Dom standing on the field

His beauty in eclipse-light fell upon ya,

The ump's eyes gleamed with cosmic fire,

But you saved our Dom from that Ump-lit pyre,

And "CHORBY NO!" screamed poor Dom Marijuana,

Marijuana, Marijuana

Marijuana, Marijuana

The cult of Chorby-chanting continues to this day.

The Book of Chorby is among the forbidden texts [citation needed].
