Evelton McBlase II/IF-45.921

Origins

On the day of the Season β6 election, Evelton McBlase, who was taking a stroll along the beach at the time, was observed to suddenly widen to his left. When his head was of an appropriate size to look like two blaseball blases glued together rather than the usual one, a pair of eyes were seen to suddenly open. Then, there was an instant in which everyone in the world blinked at the same time, and when everyone's eyes were open again, there was an (almost) identical McBlase, however without a blaseball cap, standing to McBlase's left. Unfortunately, before the new McBlase could be given the usual Fridays welcome of having a cold one to crack open with the boys, girls, good girls, birds, trees, and otherwise disposed, an unknown member of the Houston Spies was lowered in, grabbed the new McBlase, and was airlifted away. While he was eventually returned to the Fridays in later seasons it is unclear, as many things are with the Spies, what exactly occurred while he was away.

Nonetheless McBlase II's return was met with the same chill vibes that we have all come to expect from the Friday's legendary hospitality despite the occasional trail of black ichor that seem to follow him on the rare times he managed to run the bases.

Trade to the Baltimore Crabs

McBlase II has claimed that the Season β10 People's Champions trade for themselves, Baldwin Breadwinner, and Bevan Underbuck was part of an scheme to "steal ascension" from the Baltimore Crabs. While no other reports from the Hawaii Fridays have backed this up as an intentional plan, it is clear that the trade did take place from the presence of Nagomi McDaniel, Sutton Dreamy, and Montgomery Bullock (and Bontgomery Mullock) in the ILB even as the Crabs were called up.

From the Telescope

While it is unclear exactly what happened in the Big Leagues, Baltimorean telescope watchers reported catching glimpses of McBlase II developing a fascination with the process of carcinization, though notably they seem to have decided they wish to use it to become an eel. Based on our current understanding of Carcinization it is unclear if that is possible, but the Crabs' resident cultural and biological anthropologist Pedro Davids has gone on the record to say that his idea is, "theoretically possible, but I hate it and if Evelton asks me to be their sidekick one more time I'm going to throw them into Chesapeake Bay myself so they can figure it out on their own".

Trade to the Core Mechanics

After the Season 13 election, McBlase II was last seen floating in the Chesapeake Bay, notably failing to carcinize. Several days later, fishermen in the Core caught McBlase II as bycatch. The Mechanics were subsequently assigned to monitor McBlase II for any "evil activities" and "delayed transformations into an eel and/or crab."

On the Firefighters

After four seasons on the Core Mechanics, McBlase II Roamed away from them and spent Season β18 with the Chicago Firefighters. McBlase II was eager to test their latest invention, the Unflamethrower, a device that ejects a stream of Unfire to extinguish fires. Undeterred by comments from their new teammates such as "isn't that just a fire extinguisher," McBlase II proceeded to put out fires with a frequency that matched the most zealous of the Firefighters.

However, as was noted by Chicago news reports, McBlase II seemed only to be putting out fires that weren't in need of extinguishing, including but not limited to beach party bonfires, backyard barbecues, and the pilot lights of stoves in numerous Chicago homes.

The most infamous accomplishment during their time with the Firefighters was when McBlase II extinguished the Solympic Flame as it was being carried to signal the start of the Hellmouth Sunbeams regular season. The head of PR for the Firefighters was unable to be reached for comment about this incident, nor any of the other incidents, due to the Firefighters being busy hosting Party Time as mandated by the ILB.

Declaring their new invention a success, McBlase II Roamed away from the Firefighters during the Season 18 elections.

On the Magic

During Season 19, McBlase II played for the Yellowstone Magic. At the end of the season, they were traded.

On the Lift

McBlase II played for the Tokyo Lift during Season 20, and spent the siesta immediately following the Season 20 Elections creating and refining her many nefarious inventions. Chief among them was an old invention they had once created to pass the time while Ascended with the Crabs: the "Ray Gun that trans your gender." The Ray Gun’s only previous subject, Forrest Best, had claimed it worked perfectly and seasons later, McBlase II tried it for herself. She, like Best, claimed it worked perfectly. At the end of the season, she Roamed.

On the Wild Wings

McBlase II played for the Wild Wings during Season 21.

On the Crabs

McBlase II was traded to the Baltimore Crabs at the end of Season 21. Upon arriving, they were reminded of the multiple rivalries, half finished evil science machines, and active warrants waiting for them in Baltimore. McBlase II quickly roamed away to make their exit, though they did receive a “Sorry we missed you” card from Pedro Davids which McBlase II (correctly) took to be a threat.

On the Millennials

McBlase II has stated that she came to New York for two reasons; first, that “it wasn’t Baltimore”, and second that “all the best supervillains went to New York at some point!” However, some have speculated that New York City’s reputation as a place people come to start over played a role in her Roam as well.

Whatever the reasons, at the end of Season 21 McBlase II arrived at the Apartment, declared herself a new member of the team, and immediately took the last eggs from the Apartment fridge to use in a “super-chicken experiment”.

McBlase II proceeded to wreak havoc, as was her wont. Initially, she offered to weaponize the Apartment, but after Patty Fox politely yet firmly denied, she released a quantity of eels into the Apartment plumbing. It is currently unclear whether this was out of revenge or just because she wanted to.

Despite her shenaniganry, McBlase II seemed to thrive on the Millennials. She bonded quickly with Mullen Peterson, whose engineering know-how and level-headed demeanor provided a good counterbalance to McBlase II’s large and explosive plans, and during her time in the Millennials’ Shadows befriended Charlatan Seabright, who gave her a crash course in both makeup and piracy. Despite some initial awkwardness with former Spy Andrew Solis, tensions lessened considerably when Solis reminded McBlase II he had left the Spies long before her creation, and had no more preexisting bias against her than any of the other Millennials.

When asked if McBlase II’s villainous schemes had been disruptive to the team, Mills player Conrad Vaughan said “Oh, Eve’s really a sweetie when you get down to it! And her ‘machinations’ are actually kind of helpful sometimes.” Theodore Cervantes added that “We will not shun Eve for her machinations, and in return we ask only that she deal with the consequences herself. This arrangement is working nicely.”

As the Season 22 Elections approached, many assumed McBlase II would again Roam away. However, for the first time since Season 17, McBlase II didn’t leave. She has stated that she “just sort of liked it here”, although an anonymous tip suggested that the Millennials had insisted she not leave until she cleared all the eels out of the plumbing.

Whatever the reason, Evelton McBlase II stayed with the Millennials for an additional two seasons, and was with them when the Black Hole(Black Hole) arrived.

Evelton McBlase II/IF-55.889

In Literature

Crabs Poet Laureate Runolfio Peeper had the following to say about Evelton McBlase II:

McBlase was One, and pretty good,
And so the Spies just thought they could
Repeat McBlase with Blase the Second
Nothing simpler, they all reckoned.

At first it seemed the plan was smart
For none could tell them both apart
But once they stepped into the cage
The skill of Two was clear to gauge.

He couldn’t bat, or run, or pitch
And had a much more fatal glitch
He proved to be an amiable guy
Who didn’t have the guile to spy.

And so they tried him in the Isles;
Fate intervened with further trials
Our chill friend Two, who fast fatigues,
Was scuttled up to the big leagues.

The Crabs pondered this hapless man,
And so devised a cunning plan
He’d see few bases, much less home,
But yes, McBlase could ably roam!

Though not a Crab, McBlase is proud
That by Crab wills he's been allowed,
To finally have a skill of note:
Between the teams he now will float.

And in this flooded world I think,
That is much better than to sink!

History

Background

Evelton McBlase II, as the press have taken to referring to him soon after he mysteriously replaced Donia Bailey in the Spies' lineup, appears to be a near-perfect replica of Evelton McBlase.

Origin Theories

Theories abound about where he originated, some claiming he is a Spies agent who has undergone extensive plastic surgery, others providing compelling evidence that he may have been a genetic clone prepared in a secret underground facility. There are even some who take to the conspiracy theory that Evelton McBlase II is the original, who was kidnapped from the Fridays and replaced with a fake McBlase. Almost all agree, though, that he is in some way connected with a covert, long-term Spies operation to study and reproduce the incredible vibes of the Cult of Our Lady of Perpetual Friday. However, there is a small sect of scientists studying player Alternates who contend that McBlase II, in fact, was produced from the original McBlase through mlitosis.

Deviant Behavior

McBlase II has demonstrated some amount of deviation from the behavior of the original, generally presenting as odd quirks of speech or disconcerting habits, but reports of villainous laughter and mustache twisting point towards something more sinister. The Houston Spies deny these reports whole-heatedly. Rumors that Evelton McBlase II scorned the Tacos for attempting to unionize are, unfortunately, true. He is not anti-capitalist and the rest of the Spies shun him thusly.

Frustrated with McBlase II's (commonly referred to as "EvilTwin" by the Spies) poor performance in their lineup, the Spies launched a campaign to have him transferred to another team via the Lottery Pick blessing of Season β6. With the support of the Spies and numerous other teams, McBlase II was lifted to the 14th spot on the ILB Idol Leaderboards and traded for the Hawai'i Fridays' Karato Bean. It is hoped that the Fridays' pervasive good vibes are having a positive impact on the scoundrel.

Trade to the Baltimore Crabs

McBlase II has claimed that the season 10 People's Champions trade for themselves, Baldwin Breadwinner, and Bevan Underbuck was part of an scheme to "steal ascension" from the Baltimore Crabs. While no other reports from the Hawaii Fridays have backed this up as an intentional plan, it is clear that the trade did take place from the presence of Nagomi McDaniel, Sutton Dreamy, and Montgomery Bullock (and Bontgomery Mullock) in the ILB even as the Crabs were called up.

From the Telescope

While it is unclear exactly what is happening in the Big Leagues, Baltimorean telescope watchers have reported catching glimpses of Evelton working on a series of robots and gadgets inspired by their time with the Houston Spies. While occasionally these gadgets seem to actually work as intended, for the most part anything designed for heists, criminal enterprises, schemes, or plans seem to struggle to operate as intended. Instead they will often simply question why they were made, who they are, if a copy of someone else is still it's own person, or if they have a ■■■■.

Notably McBlase II has been reported as working alongside Parker Parra on some kind of contraption for teammate Luis Acevedo, who's hard light projector and ■■■■ is considered the intellectual property of Crypton Fluture Media. While they were unable to be reached for comment directly, the Crabs legal team has made a statement that "there are no laws in space".

Trade to the Core Mechanics

After being revoked, McBlase II joined the Core Mechanics. The team was initially "quietly hoping that they would leave," but have since taken a liking to their unorthodox inventions, such as a "Death Ray" that helps clear out underbrush and prevent forest fires, a "Murder Trap" that provides transportation to previously inaccessible portions of the Core, and a Toaster (evil). They have also been trying to rehabilitate McBlase II, and have given them an extensive list of anti-capitalist literature. McBlase II has allegedly fully embraced leftism, and has been seen trying to build a machine that they refer to as a "praxis."

On the Firefighters

After four seasons on the Core Mechanics, McBlase II Roamed away from them and spent Season β18 with the Chicago Firefighters. McBlase II was eager to test their latest invention, the Unflamethrower, a device that ejects a stream of Unfire to extinguish fires. Undeterred by comments from their new teammates such as "isn't that just a fire extinguisher," McBlase II proceeded to put out fires with a frequency that matched the most zealous of the Firefighters.

The head of PR for the Firefighters was unable to be reached for comment about this incident, nor any of the other incidents, due to the Firefighters being busy hosting Party Time as mandated by the ILB.

Declaring their new invention a success, McBlase II Roamed away from the Firefighters during the Season 18 elections.

On the Magic

During Season 19, McBlase II played for the Yellowstone Magic. At the end of the season, they were traded.

On the Lift

McBlase II played for the Tokyo Lift during Season 20, and spent the siesta immediately following the Season 20 Elections creating and refining her many nefarious inventions. Chief among them was an old invention they had once created to pass the time while Ascended with the Crabs: the "Ray Gun that trans your gender." The Ray Gun’s only previous subject, Forrest Best, had claimed it worked perfectly and seasons later, McBlase II tried it for herself. She, like Best, claimed it worked perfectly. At the end of the season, she Roamed.

On the Wild Wings

McBlase II played for the Wild Wings during Season 21.

On the Crabs

McBlase II was traded to the Baltimore Crabs at the end of Season 21. Upon arriving, they were reminded of the multiple rivalries, half finished evil science machines, and active warrants waiting for them in Baltimore. McBlase II quickly roamed away to make their exit, though they did receive a care package from Kennedy Loser containing a supply of Old Bay, eel care supplies, and an assortment of junk McBlase II had left lying around the Crabitat last time they were in Baltimore.

On the Millennials

McBlase II has stated that she came to New York for two reasons; first, that “it wasn’t Baltimore”, and second that “all the best supervillains went to New York at some point!” However, some have speculated that New York City’s reputation as a place people come to start over played a role in her Roam as well.

Identity and relationship with Evelton McBlase

Evelton McBlase II has been known to claim to be the long lost, and sometimes evil, twin brother, of Evelton McBlase. However, sometimes he has been known to claim that it is the other way around. Other Fridays players, when asked, generally tend to shrug and say, "Hey, it is what it is, man. You want another Plepsi Lite?"

Acting Career

Evelton McBlase II was approached by film producer Fitz Kualoa about starring in a full-length blaseball biopic that would film between Seasons 6 and 7. After Evelton joined the cast, Blases Loaded was re-written to star McBlase II's twin brother. McBlase II continues to act during the post-season, and his eighth full-length film is currently in post-production.

Baltimore Films

Since their transfer to the Baltimore Crabs they have been offered several parts in various Baltimore based film adaptations including Mission Imclawsible, Doctor Strangeclaw, Reservoir Crabs, Air Bud (but with a Crab), and Claws 2. Notably they did turn down the offer for Crabs, citing a disinterest in musical adaptations for the screen.

Directorial Debut

After winning a championship with the Crabs, McBlase II moved to the Core, citing an interesting in the groundbreaking special effects and independent films coming out of the area. McBlase II has since made their directorial debut with The Llitch, and has been met with widespread critical acclaim for both that and his subsequent film, The Llighthouse.

Cinematic World Tour

Following several seasons spent in the Core, McBlase began a whirlwind tour of several cities' cinematic cultures. Typically a recluse, they gave an interview where they said, "My time in the Core has taught me that there's always something new to learn... and I, of all people, am perfectly capable of learning it."

McBlase spent the first season of their tour in Chicago, using their new directorial chops to learn about the history of cinema in the city. They then went to Yellowstone and dabbled in documentary-making, learning along the way about the ethical challenges in filmmaking. A trade brought McBlase to Tokyo, where they spent a season learning the history of Japanese cinema, followed by a year spent in Mexico City learning about their traditions.

Satisfied with their time spent traveling, McBlase spent the next several seasons in New York. After a brief break to try theatre, they returned to cinema, vowing to use what they'd learned in their travels to direct and star in the best film possible. McBlase has claimed that the film will debut on the day of the Season 24 elections.

Evelton McBlase II/IF-84.022

Origins

On the day of the season 6 election Evelton McBlase, who was taking a stroll along the beach at the time, was observed to suddenly widen to his left. When his head was of an appropriate size to look like two blaseball blases glued together rather than the usual one, a pair of eyes were seen to suddenly open. Then, there was an instant in which everyone in the world blinked at the same time, and when everyone's eyes were open again, there was an (almost) identical McBlase, however without a blaseball cap, standing to Evelton's left. Unfortunately, before the new McBlase could be given the usual Fridays welcome of having a cold one to crack open with the boys, girls, good girls, birds, trees, and otherwise disposed, an unknown member of the Houston Spies was lowered in, grabbed the new McBlase, and was airlifted away. While he was eventually returned to the Fridays in later seasons it is unclear, as many things are with the Spies, what exactly occurred while he was away.

Nonetheless McBlase II's return was met with the same chill vibes that we have all come to expect from the Friday's legendary hospitality.

Trade to the Baltimore Crabs

Evelton has claimed that the season 10 People's Champions trade for themselves, Baldwin Breadwinner, and Bevan Underbuck was part of an scheme to "steal ascension" from the Baltimore Crabs. While no other reports from the Hawaii Fridays have backed this up as an intentional plan, it is clear that the trade did take place from the presence of Nagomi McDaniel, Sutton Dreamy, and Montgomery Bullock (and Bontgomery Mullock) in the ILB even as the Crabs were called up.

From the Telescope

While it is unclear exactly what is happening in the Big Leagues, Baltimorean telescope watchers have reported catching glimpses of Evelton and the Crab's resident criminal, Forrest Best, accused of participating in "The Great Eel-scape", "The Thunder Catfish Caper", "My Ultimate Vengeance", Handling Salmon in suspicious circumstances, and Embezzlement. It appears that with this new addition McBlase II's success rate at committing crimes has gone up significantly, and Best has remained in top form even when participating in the Big Leagues.

When asked how this effects their focus on the game, team captain Kennedy Loser commented that "It's good to let them burn off their excess energy sometimes, and Forrest keeps them out of too much trouble. Plus Evelton made me this ray gun that is supposed to improve my vibes which was sweet of them".

Transfer to the Core Mechanics

McBlase II has continued their crime spree post-decension, though their success rate has gone down without the involvement of Best. They have also been hampered by the mysterious crime-fighter known only as Captain Judochop. The two have been seen engaging in physical, verbal, and plokemon battles with one another. Team representative Jolene Willowtree, when asked about the situation, stated that ve is "just happy that they're keeping each other distracted."

On the Firefighters

After four seasons on the Core Mechanics, McBlase II Roamed away from them and spent Season β18 with the Chicago Firefighters. McBlase II was eager to test their latest invention, the Unflamethrower, a device that ejects a stream of Unfire to extinguish fires.

Upon arriving, they were reminded of the multiple rivalries, half finished evil science machines, and active warrants waiting for them in Baltimore. McBlase II quickly roamed away to make their exit, though as they left McBlase II could have sworn they heard a voice from the bay congratulating them on finding a form that fit them, even if it wasn’t a crab (yet).

On the Millennials

McBlase II has stated that she came to New York for two reasons; first, that “it wasn’t Baltimore”, and second that “all the best supervillains went to New York at some point!” However, some have speculated that during her time on the Firefighters and Wings, Eve had heard of Mullen Peterson and thought she sounded cool, and that that had played a role in her Roam as well.

Whatever the reasons, at the end of Season 21 McBlase II arrived at the Apartment, declared herself a new member of the team, and immediately took the last eggs from the Apartment fridge to use in a “super-chicken experiment”.
