Die

6 Die
AKA	“GREEN HAT”

Die is the sixth member of the Felt.

Concept and creation

Die's hat is designed after the green billiard ball numbered 6, and his name alludes to a singular dice, a typically 6-sided gambling artefact. Die is also a verb meaning to 'stop living', fitting the use of his juju.

Biography

Caliborn's session

Die originated on a planet colored like a green billiard ball, formed when the Battlefield in Caliborn's session exploded. Caliborn was awarded Die as his sixth follower when he destroyed the planet by sending it into the black hole formed by the Battlefield's death.

Intermission - original timeline

As the other members of the the Felt are picked off by the Midnight Crew, Die's use of his juju frequently has him appear close behind.^{[citation needed]}

Within some unknown timeline, Die loses in a game of cards against Itchy, who clearly cheated using his speed powers, out of petty revenge, he travels to a timeline where Itchy was recently killed by Spades Slick. However, soon after going there, he is bashed in the head by Slick himself, so out of desperation he travels to a timeline where the Dersite is dead, appearing on a barren post-Reckoning Alternia without any signs of civilisation, learning that Slick very literally “made this town.”

Returning to the alpha timeline shortly after, Slick subsequently “[helps] the green man live up to his name.” His and Itchy's corpses are then thrown at a pile of burning clocks. It is unknown what happened to the Die in the alpha timeline, as he is not seen throughout the intermission.

Weapons and paraphernalia

Unlike most members of the the Felt, Die seems to have no innate abilities of his own. Instead he is in possession of a juju, resembling a pop cultural voodoo doll, which he uses to travel between timelines unassisted. He may be considered part of a pair with Crowbar, another powerless leprechaun adjacent to him in the Felt, or with Stitch, who uses similar juju dolls.

As seen in Collide, Die uses a 6-cylindered S&W model 19 firearm and a shillelagh for melee combat.

Trivia

• Toby Fox wrote a "musical doodle" inspired by "how even if [Die] goes to a seemingly better universe, things will always end up terrible for him."
