You asked abt ocs so I think I'll finally show off my iterator!! Her name is Gentle Nature! Sporting a more labcoat styled cloak, She's meant to be an older one- not as old as say Moon but older than Pebbles at least for a reference!
She has long since given up on finding the solution as she just deems is an exercise in futility, instead she took interest in the world already there and learning even more about it, if for no reason other than entertainment and just to learn more, so she simulates the arena - testing to see how different creatures interact in different environments and when set against one another, having a slugcat she personally trained to gather her test subjects in the wild after getting the inspiration from other iterators who did the same.
She writes down everything she sees and likes to keep what she hopes is the most detailed log of whatever species she can bring into her arena, even if most other iterators have little if no interest in her findings and discoveries.
She has quite some patience and can watch a test for even several cycles, but if it proves uneventful she descends what she calls "The Jacob's Ladder", a fancy name for a massive metal rod that electrocutes every living thing unfortunate enough to be in the arena, as she got the name from learning it was a literal ladder to heaven and also the name for a device that is two rods that pass a high voltage arc between them and found it fitting here.
Personality wise she is also more on the serious end, but has a sarcastic and more light side to her as well, despite generally being a more pragmatic individual, though she'd be friendly with other iterators as since she has long since given up on the solution she appreciates having others to still talk to for company and share interests with any other iterator and learn about the creatures in their region!

If there's anything that this session has taught us, it's that the life series has the amazing and completely unintentional power of foreshadowing, poetic cinema, and the butterfly effect. There's:
The wither painting in the roommates' home.
Mumbo: "...pressing shift economically would be a skill [that I wish I had]..." -> running off the edge of a platform into lava
Joel recruiting Lizzie to hurt/kill Scott leading her to go to the End to try and kill him, which led to her death.
The two wooden fence posts that Mumbo placed as a joke to stop Martyn being the thing to ultimately seal Mumbo's fate.
Grian failing last week's task without realizing it, making him roll for a hard task this week, thus making him have to get the Wither and Warden with Etho that killed Jimmy and Mumbo.
Edit: Lizzie's poem to Joel from Session 1: "You won me a bone, I'll never leave you alone. / I hope you stay alive and also thrive. / Don't forget to shift, when you're near a rift."
There's probably more I've forgotten but this session in particular has been CRAZY with all of this.

Remember when I pitched the concept of Chuuya developing a fear of lightning/electricity after the events of Storm Bringer and the Dragon's Head Conflict?
Thunder doesn't bother him, he deals with loud noises on the daily. No, it's the lightning itself that gets to him.
So obviously the solution is to close his eyes and wait for the storm to pass while berating himself because he should be better than this.
