Life in the Shadows

Since returning to the shadows, Simba has given herself the task of training the remaining shadows players. She felt qualified because of her season of experience in the ILB. No one knows for sure if the training is helpful or not, but the fax machine that was built in the Choux meant that players rotated in and out of the shadows more easily, so Simba may have some influence on those who get faxed out.

Simba Davis origin, history, appearance, and life on the team

Origin Story

Prophecies among the gods foretold of a Blaseball pitcher so strong, so captivating, and so talented that it would change the game-- and the world-- forever. This player is none other than Simba Davis...

...Or at least, this is the story that Simba tells.

Simba always knew she was destined for great things in blaseball, ever since she made up a fake backstory involving the Blaseball gods as her motivation for playing. In her eyes, becoming the greatest pitcher in history as her ultimate destiny.

This particular obsession with Blaseball may or may not have originated when she viewed a VHS tape that had recorded the Grand Unslam. When she tried to play it, the Grand Unslam poured into her mind. She and the VCR are now psychically linked. In addition to having a photographic memory, she can replay her memories for others on a screen. When she zones out, her eyes look like static.

From the Shoe Thieves shadows, she saw Gunther go from 0 stars to being the best pitcher on the team. She idolizes him and wants to follow in his footsteps. She does not understand the concept of a penguin, so she sees him as an alien from a far off planet, destined to guide her along her path to pitching domination.

They were called from the Shadows when Tillman mysteriously returned to the Hall.

Appearance

Simba Davis has dark brown skin and pink hair. She often wears headbands, and owns one for every occasion. She recently also started wearing hats, noting, “all the ‘cool’ players wear their hat backwards.” She fashioned the VCR into a fanny pack, where she also stores extra Blaseballs. To help build strength, she wears weights while she pitches. A strategy that has helped her reach nearly the highest ERA in Blaseball history (of which she is very proud).

Life with the Shoe Thieves

Over a bit of time with the Thieves, Simba learned about a plan called “Pitcher of Blood,” which involved moving Blood into the Shadows to then switch with the worst pitcher on the team. They know that, as the weakest pitcher, their time on the team may be short. They’re determined to earn a place on the team before then.

Simba, in addition being known as “the ERA Queen” (a title she is very proud of), is known for her theatrics on the field. She sometimes is wheeled out onto the field atop an old media cart, striking poses. She is also known to name her pitches, yelling them as she throws (ex. “4-seam Hypernova Fastball”; “Sinker of Ultimate Darkness”).

Simba has a rivalry with Fenry Marlow, who plays for the Hawaii Fridays. When asked about this, Marlow responded with, "Rivalry? Simba's a great pal, don't see why I'd have a rivalry with someone so enthusiastic!" This has since only encouraged Simba to train harder to become the best blaseball pitcher in history.

Simba and Snyder Briggs appear to have an excellent working relationship, but are not often seen socializing. One can only assume that it is due to Simba filling the vacancy left by Tillman Henderson, with whom Snyder had a close friendship.

Talk about Simba's first mid-game heist

During Season 14 game 59, Corn was pitching at the game went into extra innings. This was Simba's first in-league heist, and Corn wanted to cover her as she looted the Mechanics' locker room -- but she's also bad at heisting, so it took her extra innings to get out clean -- so Cornelius kept the scores even so she had plenty of extra time to escape before Stu cleaned up w/ a home run in the 17th.

airhorn (he/him) — Today at 7:58 PM what if she took the tires of their team bus, reasoning that tires are the shoes of the bus

Scabzilla — Today at 7:59 PM "what if <pushes up glasses that fall right back down> tires are the shoes of a bus?"

Cheese Dog 👟(he/they/🧙) — Today at 8:00 PM so she was going to steal Mindy's backup shoes (Corn was going to steal her shoes on the field (it's a temporal pincer maneuver)) but Simba got distracted and decided to steal their team bus tires too

AOTKorby 👟 (he/him) — Today at 8:00 PM she absolutely refuses to roll the tires along the ground

airhorn (he/him) — Today at 8:01 PM later she is asked why she didn't just roll them and she gets very offended, all like "i will not take the COWARD'S roll... i must Drag and Carry, this is my TRAINING montage."

AOTKorby 👟 (he/him) — Today at 8:02 PM for professional sports players, it's "intensive physical training" for simba davis, it's an ill-advised attempt at theft

AOTKorby 👟 (he/him) — Today at 8:04 PM Corn : "you were supposed to lift their shoes, not a bunch of bus tires" Simba : "I lifted their bus's shoes, and look, now we have more training equipment!" (except in caps)

Hey Terwox! I appreciate your enthusiasm! We are still working on getting Simba's wiki put together from what we created as a team in the Discord. Please hold off on additions until we can get things set up. This is a great conversation, but it is difficult to follow in this format. I would reword it to match the voice of a wiki entry. Thank you!

Terwox (talkcontribs)

Dropped it here as the lore doc is locked and I didn't want it to get lost as it's a fun story. Cheers!

BoozleNoodle (talkcontribs)

Oh, yeah that makes sense! I'll add it for ya. Normally they would be open again by now, but got a bit nuts with so many new characters at once! Thank you!

Cool! Here's a cleaner version of her heist (minus some markup here and there):

During Season 14 game 59, Cornelius Games was pitching and the game went into extra innings. This was Simba's first in-league heist, and Corn wanted to cover her as she looted the Core Mechanics' locker room -- but as Simba's as good at heisting as she is pitching, it took her extra innings to get out clean -- so Cornelius kept the scores even so she had plenty of extra time to escape before Stu cleaned up w/ a home run in the 17th.

Simba was supposed to grab Mindy Kugel's backup shoes and bolt, but like usual, she saw the Mechanics' team bus and had a better idea. During an extended training montage, she dragged and carried each tire back to the locker room, rather than "taking the coward's roll."

Corn: "You were supposed to lift their shoes, not a bunch of bus tires!"

Simba: "I lifted their bus's shoes, and look, now we have more training equipment!"
