Lorcan Smaht/IF-18.683
History
Lorcan Smaht was born in Boston alongside eir older sibling Trinity Smaht. The two of them were close growing up, getting into many childhood misadventures and shenanigans as siblings often do. While Trinity moved on to attend classes out of state with aer Lacrosse scholarship, Lorcan moved to Baltimore to study architecture, citing the city’s interesting shapes and urban development due to its many Carcinized people as what made the field so interesting there. Lorcan also joined in the school's wrestling team, because while ey had little interest in actual violence, Lorcan loved a good hand on activity, and took to the sport well. Lorcan has been described by classmates as “kind of like a big overeager puppy who just wants to be your friend, but ey also added in a second major in advanced mathematics last semester and has a 4.0 GPA.” Lorcan also participated in the school’s Ultimate Frisbee team as well as a local ska band.
Joining the Shadows
During the fourteenth season of Internet League blaseball and near the end of Lorcan’s degree program, ey found eir way onto the Crab’s shadows. Soon afterwards ey began to experience some unexpected changes in the form of turning into a crab under the light of a full moon. While it’s debated what kind of crab ey become in their ‘were-crab’ form, reports have been as varied as em simply joining Yurts Trunbo’s herd of pea crabs, to terrorizing the streets of Baltimore once a month. Either way this news caught the attention of eir sibling Trinity, who unbeknownst to Lorcan, followed em to Baltimore. This is also when Lorcan developed eir photosensitivity, and began wearing tinted prescription glasses to offset the effect day-to-day.
During eir time in the shadows Lorcan developed a close relationship with Crab’s pitcher Adalberto Tosser where ey would often check in on eir vetran player after a very rough season 15 where Tosser’s partner Brock Forbes was traded to the Boston Flowers and co-captain Forrest Best, along with Nagomi Mcdaniel and Alyssa Harrell were all mysteriously redacted. Lorcan often invited him out to grab burgers or a drink, to tailgate a football game, go to the zoo, see a movie, or commit vandalism - basically anything to get him out of the house. Lorcan commented that “he was obviously going through a hard time, and we ace pitchers need to stick together”. While hesitant at first, Tosser has come to appreciate the enthusiastic companionship of their newest recruit in the shadows, and pointed em towards local resources for dealing with unwanted were-crab transformation if ey were interested.
Joining the Rotation
After seeing eir sibling Trinity join the Crabs lineup in season 17, Lorcan was eager to join aer and get out of the shadows. When Parker Parra gave up 10 runs, ey took advantage of the Crab’s new fax machine and took their place on the rotation. Despite the fact that Lorcan throws pitches “like ey’s throwing a frisbee” ey fit in well with the rotation. Finn James in particular appreciated having another pitcher around who was willing to play outside of what was often seen in the Expansion Era, and the two of them are often seen practicing together. Lorcan also took quickly to Alston Cerveza, joining him on many zany adventures - though many of the team are skeptical of how many of these actually took place pointing out that it seems unlikely the two of them went to space in the off season, and came back just in time for Tosser’s postseason brunch.
Notably after eir extensive partying in season 17, Lorcan seems to have caught the attention of the Crab’s last five star rookie pitcher: Jacoby Podcast. While Lorcan has been a fan of Podcast’s show, Podcast seems to have taken personal offence to Lorcan’s sudden appearance on the team combined with eir rise to fame insisting that “eir copying them”. Several members of Podcast’s new team, the Ohio Worms, have pointed out that this is not the case however Podcast has been making inquiries into if it is possible to rush the mound if you are a pitcher and also not scheduled to be playing that day. Trinity Smaht has been quoted as saying that ae “could probably find a locker to stuff Jacoby in if it comes to that”. Lorcan seems happily unconcerned on a whole, and is looking forward to inviting Podcast out for drink the next time the Crabs play the Worms.
Ups and Downs
As Lorcan’s time on the Crabs continued, ey found emself becoming more and more central to the team, becoming both a star pitcher, and the team’s undertaker in season 19. It was troubling then when in the Season 19 Election eir sibling Trinity left for Mexico City to join the Wild Wings. After only having been reunited for a handful of seasons, Lorcan found emself uncharacteristically frustrated at the change, and sought out Trinity’s closest friend on the team and fellow occult enthusiast Enid Marlow. While Marlow was slow to realize that Trinity’s departure was the source of her frustration, once Lorcan pointed it out the two took some comfort in each others company, and became fast friends.
In Season 20 Lorcan performed eir first Undertaking - following teammate Avila Guzman into Elsewhere. While ey were only gone for a short time, Marlow was quite frustrated with the event and had several tense conversations with Guzman over the incident. In Season 21 the tables were turned as Lorcan performed eir second undertaking, diving into Elsewhere after Marlow herself. When Lorcan failed to return in a timely manner it was Guzman that Marlow turned to, and the two of them spent several nights searching the nearby bay for any signs of Lorcan. Eventually ey did return after nearly 80 days away, and Marlow was able to admit that she had missed em. Lorcan celebrated eir return by pitching a shutout in eir only postseason game, and winning eir first even Internet Series Championship.
Unfortunately even with the taste of victory still fresh on eir tongue, not all was well for Lorcan. While during eir last postseason Lorcan had rushed to Mexico City for Trinity’s graduation, as soon as the post season ended for Season 21 Lorcan found emself returning for less pleasant reasons. In eir absence eir sibling Trinity had been attacked by consumers twice, and despite aer brave exterior, ae were not taking it well. Once the season was over Lorcan was quick to track aer down and the two spent their brief offseason catching up alongside Marlow. When the three had to return to active play they still kept in touch online, and when Trinity discovered the Crab’s latest trades ae insisted on getting autographs from both Jessica Telephone and Silvaire Roadhouse. When Lorcan asked both obliged with apathy and bewilderment respectively.
Alternation
After the season 22 elections, Lorcan Smaht was alternated and a new Lorcan emerged from the timeline. At first it was difficult to tell if there were any changes, with Lorcan eirself denying it that anything was truly different. After several weeks of Lorcan’s elusiveness, the moment that ey met up with eir sibling Trinity Smaht ae clocked the difference, having undergone a similar situation aerself - this Lorcan had died. The timelines diverged back in season 20 with the death of Brock Forbes, where Lorcan came from, ey was the one incinerated after that trade and spent the rest of the seasons in the Hall getting to know the other dead Crabs. With Trinity’s urging Lorcan eventually admitted this to the other Crabs who did their best to be supportive of the situation. Trinity aerself took the change surprisingly well, being excited to discuss the events with Lorcan, and asking to see eir “cool incineration scar”. Much like in their original timelines, once the Smaht siblings were reunited there was little that could be done to truly separate them.
Into the Horizon
Season 24 was a difficult time for Lorcan. When the league opened up ey struggled with what to do, as well as how to feel about eir place in it.
Back in the early days of the Expansion Era it had been the Reader who had first made Lorcan an undertaker and asked the league to “Trust Me”. And Lorcan had - working though eir own trepidation to dive in and flip eir team negative to keep them above water. It was the reader who introduced a new way to “negative Alternate” players, and in season 22 when it made Lorcan and eir team worse, ey continued to trust them as they had asked. In season 24 when the league was flipped, it caused a phenomenon on the lightest team where the leadoff hitter was targeted the most by consumers, and sure enough thanks to Lorcan the Crabs were among those teams and Herring Winfield a player that Lorcan had personally flipped when they had gone elsewhere, was redacted by consumers.
When confessing to this guilt and anger, Lorcan was comforted by teammate Avila Guzman, another player ey had made a negative, who reminded eir that choosing to trust someone was not a bad thing, even if they turned out to not have the player’s interests at heart. Kennedy Loser expressed a similar sentiment, and pushed Lorcan to work though those feelings with the team instead of bottling them up like ey had with eir alternation. You may not be able to trust the gods, but you could always count on your team.Lorcan Smaht/IF-19.98
History
Lorcan Smaht was born in Boston alongside eir twin sibling Trinity Smaht. The two of them were close growing up, getting into many childhood misadventures and shenanigans as siblings often do. While Trinity moved on to attend classes out of state with aer Lacrosse scholarship, Lorcan moved to Baltimore to attend college on a wrestling scholarship. While ey had little interest in actual violence, Lorcan loved a good hands-on activity, and had held an interest in wrestling ever since participating in a backyard wrestling league in eir youth. Lorcan soon branched out into indie wrestling in the Baltimore area, developing a kayfabe persona as Wicked Smaht, a happy-go-lucky, stereotypical frat bro from Boston.
Joining the Shadows
During the fourteenth season of Internet League blaseball and just after Lorcan’s college graduation, ey found eir way onto the Crab’s shadows. Soon afterwards, ey began to experience eir first carcinization, building up a thin armor of carapace across their back and biceps. This news caught the attention of eir sibling Trinity, who unbeknownst to Lorcan, followed em to Baltimore. This is also when Lorcan developed eir photosensitivity, and began wearing tinted prescription glasses to offset the effect day-to-day.
During eir time in the shadows Lorcan developed a close relationship with Crabs batter Squid Galvanic, who unbeknownst to most was a long-time fan of wrestling. Squid often attended Lorcan's indie matches to cheer for em, sometimes bringing along other Crabs players such as Finn James and Luis Acevedo. "Lorcan clearly loves what ey do, and I love that for em," she remarked to a local reporter asking about Smaht's extracurricular activities. "It makes me happy to see em up there wrestling eir heart out. I'd love to see em get a big break soon."
Joining the Rotation
After seeing eir sibling Trinity join the Crabs lineup in season 17, Lorcan was eager to join aer and get out of the shadows. When longtime Crabs player Parker Parra gave up 10 runs, ey took advantage of the Crab’s new fax machine and took their place on the rotation. Despite the fact that Lorcan throws pitches “like ey’s fighting the ball”, ey fit in well with the rotation. Finn James in particular appreciated having another pitcher around who was willing to play outside of what was often seen in the Expansion Era, and the two of them are often seen practicing together. Lorcan also took quickly to Alston Cerveza, joining him and his longtime friend Squid Galvanic on many zany adventures - though many of the team are skeptical of how many of these actually took place, and how many were simply kayfabe.
After eir extensive partying in season 17, Lorcan's wrestling talents improved as well as eir blaseball performance. Ey became a popular figure in the Baltimore indie wrestling scene, and a familiar face at most promotions, big or small. Ey found a surprisingly agreeable tag team partner in Fish Summer, the two of them briefly teaming up to be known as the Shark Fighters after the Consumer attack Lorcan valiantly survived in season 18. But soon, Fish would leave Baltimore, and Lorcan would undergo eir biggest change yet.
Heel Turn
Season 19 was notably rough for the Crabs, with the addition and subsequent incineration of Chorby Soul III in the middle of the season, as well as the departure of Lorcan's sibling Trinity Smaht for Mexico City during the elections. Not to be deterred, Lorcan drew on this pain - as well as eir new player modification - to develop a new wrestling persona known as The Undertaker. With the help of Trinity's closest friend and occult enthusiast Enid Marlow, Lorcan was able to craft a truly scary persona, a former devotee of The Olde One who dabbled in dark magic and demonology to take out eir opponents. Ey has often been criticized for having too much fun playing a heel, rather than having a more serious take on the role, but most of eir fans have professed to enjoying the campiness of the character. "I'd rather see em be silly than do a darker take on the thing," teammate Finn James remarked. "I mean, ey wasn't here for all the stuff with the Olde One, so it doesn't bother me that much? None of it is, like, even close to being factual. And ey's clearly having a great time pretending to curse people."
Ups and Downs
In Season 20 Lorcan performed eir first Undertaking - following teammate Avila Guzman into Elsewhere. While ey were only gone for a short time, Marlow was quite frustrated with the event and had several tense conversations with Guzman over the incident. In Season 21 the tables were turned as Lorcan performed eir second undertaking, diving into Elsewhere after Marlow herself. When Lorcan failed to return in a timely manner it was Guzman that Marlow turned to, and the two of them spent several nights searching the nearby bay for any signs of Lorcan. Eventually ey did return after nearly 80 days away, and Marlow was able to admit that she had missed em. Lorcan celebrated eir return by pitching a shutout in eir only postseason game, and winning eir first even Internet Series Championship. Ey was also invited to the famous Baltimore wrestling event Hell In A Shell, a promotion exclusively for carcinized wrestlers.
But even with the taste of victory still fresh on eir tongue, not all was well for Lorcan. In eir absence eir sibling Trinity had been attacked by Consumers twice, and despite aer brave exterior, ae were not taking it well. Once the season was over Lorcan was quick to track aer down and the two spent their brief offseason catching up alongside Marlow. After a brief but satisfactory time spent in Mexico City, Lorcan returned to Baltimore refreshed. But don't let that distract you from the fact that eir performance in the ring after this vacation became legendary, and many Baltimoreans still remember the time The Undertaker threw fellow wrestler Crabkind off of Hell In A Shell, plummeting 16 feet through an announcer's table.
Alternation
After the season 22 elections, Lorcan Smaht was alternated and a new Lorcan emerged from the timeline. At first it was difficult to tell if there were any changes, with Lorcan eirself denying it that anything was truly different. After several weeks of Lorcan’s elusiveness, the moment that ey met up with eir sibling Trinity Smaht ae clocked the difference. This Lorcan had never been an undertaker in eir timeline, and so had never undergone a heel turn. Trinity aerself took the change surprisingly well, being excited to discuss the events with Lorcan, and suggesting that the two of them work collaboratively on an all new wrestling persona for Lorcan to debut in the coming seasons. Much like in their original timelines, once the Smaht siblings were reunited there was little that could be done to truly separate them.
Into the Horizon
Season 24 was a difficult time for Lorcan. When the league opened up ey struggled with what to do, as well as how to feel about eir place in it. Ey had always been a wrestler first and a blaseball player second, but now the consequences of blaseball were threatening to consume everything ey cared about. The Crabs becoming Unstable early into the season renewed Lorcan's commitment to eir team, and ey firmly decided to go anywhere the game would take them - even if it was into the heart of a black hole. Lorcan Smaht had never been one to turn eir nose up at adventure, after all.Lorcan Smaht/IF-95.923

History
Lorcan Smaht was born, alongside eir “twin sibling” Trinity Smaht, approximately at the time of death of REDACTED Smaht. Described in the coroner’s report as being mid-thirties, six feet tall, and missing a left ring finger, REDACTED was found in the Jones Falls River with a single stab wound to the stomach. The murder or murderers involved were never identified, though Lorcan has professed to tabloid reporters to “looking into the case every few years, just out of [eir] own curiosity”.
Perhaps due to a convergence of ley lines at the scene of the crime, the timely interference of a Bay Witch, or simply good fortune, REDACTED was resurrected - in a manner of speaking - precisely two hours after the noted time of death. Extremely distressed Maryland Health Department medical examiners reported that the deceased had, in fact, split into two identical entities: a walking, talking corpse, and the visible, intangible spirit of that same corpse. These identical entities also reportedly began fighting almost immediately, asked to be left alone in a room together, and emerged three hours later with the request to be called, respectively, Lorcan and Trinity Smaht.
This would be the only recorded instance for the next five years of Lorcan and Trinity in the same room at the same time. It is unknown what was discussed during those three hours they spent together, but speculated that an agreement was made to attempt to live separate, independent lives as individuals, rather than act together as two halves of the deceased REDACTED.
Lorcan would return to living in Baltimore, splitting REDACTED’s assets with Trinity and finding eir own apartment and employment in Federal Hill. Ey could often be found tending bar and watching splorts with regulars at Magerks Pub and Grill.
Joining the Shadows
During the fourteenth season of Internet League Blaseball, inspired by the Baltimore Crabs’s recent return to the city of Baltimore and fourth championship win, Lorcan signed up for the team’s shadows roster. This news caught the attention of Trinity Smaht, who unbeknownst to Lorcan, began making aer way back to Baltimore out of curiosity towards the team. Lorcan also developed photosensitivity as a result of joining the shadows, and began wearing tinted prescription glasses to offset the effect day-to-day.
During eir time in the shadows, Lorcan became particularly close with a recently resurrected York Silk, and was often seen chatting with Silk about the costs and benefits of being legally dead. Ey also reportedly sold eir last remaining asset belonging to REDACTED Smaht, a pawn shop in Baltimore City, to Crabs co-captain Forrest Best prior to its Redaction in Season 15.
While ey was in the shadows, Lorcan also came to befriend Enid Marlow, a trade from Ohio and another recent transplant to the shadow roster. The two are close friends and confidantes to this day, and often conspire on matters of black magic and the occult. Enid has professed several times to wanting to “study” Lorcan, a prospect that Lorcan seems largely enthusiastic about.
Joining the Rotation
After seeing eir “twin” Trinity join the Crabs lineup in Season 17, Lorcan became eager to join aer and prove eir competence at playing blaseball as well. The twins have been reported as having a competitive attitude towards one another, despite having barely seen one another for five years prior to their time on the Baltimore Crabs. When Parker Parra finally gave up 10 runs, Lorcan took advantage of the Crabitat’s new fax machine and claimed a place on the pitching rotation. Ey proceeded to party extensively in the back half of the season in celebration of finally leaving the shadows.
Despite the fact that Lorcan throws pitches “like ey’s playing one of those bartending video games where you have to slide the drinks down the counter”, ey appears to fit in well with the Crabs roster. Logan Horseman was a vocal fan of Lorcan’s partying and bartending styles, and the two could often be found out on the town together during Logan’s season with the Crabs. Alston Cerveza, as well, took quickly to Lorcan, proclaiming a friendship between a bartender and a heir to a brewing company to be an “obvious natural fit”. The two have gone on many zany adventures together - though many on the team are skeptical of how many of these adventures actually took place, pointing out that it seems unlikely the two of them went to space in the off-season and came back just in time for Adalberto Tosser’s postseason brunch.
Ups and Downs
In Season 20, Lorcan performed eir first Undertaking - following teammate Avila Guzman into Elsewhere. As one of the few members of the Crabs who does not actively need to breathe, Lorcan found emself especially suited to the task of diving into the flood after eir teammates. Ey has admitted to reporters that Undertaking helped them feel a sense of purpose and community within the team after Trinity Smaht left to join the Mexico City Wild Wings, and that ey enjoys exploring Elsewhere.
In Season 21, Lorcan once again dove into Elsewhere after eir close friend Enid Marlow, and stayed there for nearly 80 days. Marlow was observed to be notably more irritable than usual during this time, and admitted to being “extremely relieved - but don’t tell anyone that” when Lorcan reappeared. Ey celebrated eir return to the team by pitching a shutout in eir only postseason game, and winning eir first ever Internet Series Championship with the Crabs.
It war only during the off-season that Lorcan learned Trinity Smaht had been attacked by consumers in Mexico City, and rushed to visit aer. The two spent their brief time together catching up and finally getting to know each other after seasons of attempting to ignore each other while playing on the same team. Lorcan has stated in interviews since then that eir relationship with Trinity is much repaired, and that the two talk regularly.
Alternation
After the season 22 elections, Lorcan Smaht was Alternated. It was difficult at first to tell if there were changes beyond eir pitching abilities, but Enid Marlow soon clocked the difference and revealed it to the rest of the team - this Lorcan was capable of carcinization. Ey had developed chitinous plates down eir spine, and now bled the blue blood of a horseshoe crab, as opposed to the corpse-like lack of blood the team was used to.
The Crabs celebrated this change with an excessive party, much in the way Lorcan had partied to celebrate finally finding a place on the pitching rotation. Lorcan later professed to Marlow that ey suspects the Olde One herself of resurrecting em in eir universe, but ey was never able to properly investigate the mystery.
Into the Horizon
In the early days of the Expansion Era, it had been the Reader who had first made Lorcan an Undertaker, and told the League to “Trust Me”. And Lorcan had - diving in and flipping eir team Negative to keep them above water. It was the Reader who had introduced a new way to “Negative Alternate” players, and when it made the Crabs worse in Season 22, Lorcan continued to trust. It was the Reader who flipped the League in Season 24, causing a phenomenon on the lightest teams where the leadoff hitters were targeted most by Consumers. Sure enough, thanks to Lorcan, the Crabs were among those teams. Herring Winfield, a player Lorcan had flipped emself, was Redacted by Consumers.
When confessing to the guilt and anger that eir purpose as an Undertaker had led to suffering, Lorcan was comforted not only by eir close friend Marlow, but by Avila Guzman, another player ey had flipped Negative. Guzman reminded Lorcan that choosing to trust someone was not a bad thing, even if they turned out not to have eir best interests at heart. Lorcan was encouraged by this sentiment, and enlisted Guzman and Marlow in an off-season project to finally track down the perpetrators of the murder that created em, calling it an opportunity for bonding and adventure. Ey may not have been able to trust the gods, but ey could always trust eir team.
