Markiplier

• Who Killed Markiplier
• A Heist With Markiplier

Summary

The Markiplier series is a collection of YouTube original content made by Mark Fishbach, better known under his online alias of Markiplier. The series also features Tyler Scheid, Pamela Horton, Robert Rexx, Mick Lauer, and Chris Hampton as both its cast and creative team.

The series began with a murder mystery titled "Who Killed Markiplier", before continuing with other installments such as "A Heist With Markplier" and "In Space With Markiplier", alongside spin-offs such as "DAMIEN" and "Wilford "Mother-Loving" Warfstache".

Power of the Verse

This verse doesn't hold any remarkable physical feats, with most of the cast being Human level with Street level weaponry up until 'A Heist With Markiplier', where the main characters are capable of Wall level feats.

What the cast makes up with however, is powers and abilities, as the verse holds multiple reality warpers and survivability hax, with characters such as Wilford Warfstache being virtually unkillable. Alongside that, the verse shows elaborate use of reality warping in 'Wilford "Motherloving" Warfstache', with the main character being able to access these powers uncontrollably.

There also exist supernatural entities within the verse, capable of corrupting individuals and manipulating their souls, alongside magic which is able to seal against dark forces as well as search for them. The true extent of these elements however, are yet to be discovered.

Explanations

Canon

The "Markiplier" continuity makes multiple references to prior medias, such as "Markiplier TV" and "Unus Annus", despite this however, those will not be considered canon under the wiki, mainly as "Who Killed Markiplier?" reinvented the role of characters such as Wilford Warfstache as characters instead of just personas within Mark's mind, and possesses a different tone and storyline than prior series featuring the characters.

"A Date With Markiplier" contains a non-canon ending, as Fishbach has shunned the use of "Darkiplier" as a name for Damien in this series, however other endings (namely the "Meta" ending) confirm it to be apart of the series.

As such the Canon goes as follows:

• Who Killed Markiplier? series and supplimentary material, which follows the investigation for the murder of a prominent 18th century actor Markiplier, in a first-person narrative that acts as a comedic thriller.
• Wilford 'Motherloving' Warfstache, which picks up after the events of 'Who Killed Markiplier?', focusing mainly on the characters of the Colonel and the Detective.
• DAMIEN, which in the similiar vein to prior video, focuses on the characters Damien and Celine, and takes a somber, horror approach in storytelling
• A Heist with Markiplier, which is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game within YouTube, and acts as a direct continuation to the 'Who Killed Markiplier?' storyline
• The Warfstache Automated Interview Automaton, which is a short horror-comedy game featuring the eponymous character "interviewing" the player.

Interpretation

Due to the interpretive nature of the series, it is hard to qualify what the plot may imply in exactly, however, the series creator Markiplier has made companion videos which help to explain the verse in direct terms.

(It should be noted however that the videos aren't restricted to plot explanation, and discuss the entire production process, and as such may be overly long, meandering and a time-consuming watch)
