Player History
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Usurper Violet is a Fury. Violet was created by Hades in the aftermath of Ruby Tuesday. Hades formed the raw rage and grief of Tigers fans into a physical form, the first of a new order of Furies dedicated to preventing necromancy and punishing those responsible for it. Once complete, Violet emerged from the lightning storm above Sixth Circle Stadium to join the Tigers. One fan in the audience at the time described Violet's entry into the game:
As the lightning above 6th Circle Stadium crackled, and the ashes blew in the wind, Hades knew that it was time. Prepared for just such situations, in which the gods themselves needed to be confronted for their crimes of incineration, Hades sounded the horn. The lightning coalesced above the stadium, as a Fury specially prepared for this moment took form. His purple glow suffused the crowd and the players, and Usurper Violet landed on the field, clutching his weapon. An ultraviolet glow, the weapon changed shape, first to a spear, then a sword, and finally a maul. Xe was prepared to avenge the fallen comrades, and take the fight to the gods themselves.
Violet's shapeshifting weapon/Blaseball bat usually takes the form of a blunt weapon such as a mace, maul, or hammer, as these forms are optimal for "cracking peanuts." This choice has led to some pointed debates with former teammate Spears Taylor.
Pre-Blaseball Career
Though Violet has not provided details of xyr past in interviews, esoteric scholars have connected xem to a number of figures in the history of demonology, most notably the unnamed entity summoned by Xanthippes of Rhodes in 503 BCE who opened a "portal maleficent" that caused the wholesale destruction of the city Euteretes. Gnostic texts purported to be written by the pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides (but which historians concur likely date from Christian writers in Late Antiquity) reference a "being of noble and terrible purpose, imperially appointed, [likely a reference to the purple cloaks of Roman Emperors, another point placing this text after the Imperial period] who sought to mantle the throne of the psuedo-demiurge and shatter its Form [this likely references the Platonic Theory of Forms, indicating the being is going to destroy the "psuedo-demiurge" in a metaphysical sense, somehow removing the idealized notion of its existence from reality]."
When contacted about Violet's resume, the head of Demonic Resources in Hades declined to release full information, stating only that "Usurper Violet's long history of exemplary Damnation Management leaves no doubt that xe is fully qualified to play the splort of blaseball and/or dethrone a God."
