Wait! I saw a post about a keeper graphic novel, do you know about this??
I personally don't have instagram, so talking to someone who does might be a little more helpful, but here's what I know:
Shannon Messenger posted on her account that there's a kotlc graphic novel that will cover half of the first book.
It's available for pre-order.
The main illustrator that it is credited is Gabriella Chianello, and the main author who's adapting the writing for the graphic novel is Celina Frenn.
Here's the links to all of these:
Shannon's announcement post
The link to pre-order
Celina Frenn's announcement post on twitter and her instagram account
Gabriella Chianello's instagram account
Also Fin's post about Gabriella Chianello's art because I thought it was cool and helpful.

Howdy! Under my post you offered to talk about Purpled's lore/character and it would be really cool is you did that!
You have unlocked an unskippable cutscene I could literally talk about this for days on end
under the read more cause this is gonna be LONG
okay SO the very basics of Purpleds character is just he’s a really skilled fighter, so he became a mercenary to put those skills to use
ccpurpled said himself that cpurpled just wants money and power
but despite this, he’s not a fan of conflict at all, and prefers to avoid fights and wars whenever possible
a favorite quote of mine, “I’m like Switzerland, I don’t really fight, but when I do fight, I win” (not word for word I forgor)
he greatly prefers to keep to himself, and just gather materials and chill with his dog and mind his own business, because he’s seen what happens to everyone else, and doesn’t want any part of it
Early in the server, before he did a lot of serious lore, he had a decent amount of relatively positive relationships with a couple people, and he didn’t necessarily hang out with them or anything but he trusted them
he mostly just sat around and built stuff, the first big thing he was a part of was the Manberg vs Pogtopia war
-karl recruited him against his will
-he ran around for like 30 minutes just rambling about how he had no idea what was going on ever
-he fought for like 3 minutes before switching sides
-*getting killed by fireworks* “IM ON YOUR SIDE” “YOU WERENT BEFORE”
-was dead silent for like 40 minutes as he just ran around fighting people and no one acknowledged him
-schlatt fucking died “did he just have a heart attack?!?” “He just fucking died!!” And then went silent again
-the whole thing were no one wanted to be president
-it ended up being tubbo
-no one could figure out who the traitor was
-watched wilbur die right after lmanberg blew up
-killed one of the withers and was very proud of himself
-Connor joined the game, left the game, joined the game, stole purpleds pants, and left
-purpled went home, reiterated that he had no idea what the fuck just happened, and ended stream
this is so long already but wait, there’s more!!
not a whole lot important happened after that, he was still living in a cabin of the main path, and his UFO was just kinda vibing (that’s a surprise tool that will help us later)
he kinda chilled on his own, and suddenly the Eggpire is a thing! Purpled has no friends, so he doesn’t care!! (There are vines all over his UFO but he doesn’t live there anymore so he doesn’t do anything about it)
suddenly Ponk wants to talk to him, and now uh oh, BadBoyHalo is in some random ass cave trying to hire Purpled to kidnap Puffy
purpled has nothing better to do, so he takes the job
he doesn’t log on for months, so Quackity puts bombs in his house
suddenly purpled logs on and Quackitys like “I understand this looks bad but I want to hire you”
“what’s this another mercenary job?” God forbid someone hire him to do his job
he accepts, and badda bang badda book now he’s working against the Eggpire
Q, purpled, and Techno are going to take down the red banquet, and then Quackity decides to be an asshole (Purpled and Techno want to go in and help, but Quackity makes them wait and foolish dies, then Quackity goes in and plays the hero)
they beat the shit out of the Eggpire (bad is not happy with purpled)
purpled leads everyone out of bads creepy basement “you’re a hero, purpled” “I try my best”
purpled wants his payment for helping the duck man
Duck man pays him, and then breaks the entire fandom and blows up purpleds ufo right in front of him!
purpled wants to kill him, Quackity tries to convince him not to, tells him that he’s basically nothing now, and purples goes home
fucking dumbass blows up his own house after having 37 mental breakdowns
slime is spying on him and purples wants to strangle him
he goes to las Nevadas, “I just want to make it very clear that I don’t think there will ever be a point in time where I respect you as a person,” and joins LN just like Q wanted!! Surely nothing bad will happen!!
~timeskip~
Quackity has an anxiety attack, purpled leads them to the most unnecessary trap ever, he and Q yell at each other, Quackity does a fucky wucky, and now Slimecicle is dead
purpled just fucking walks away like the girlboss he is, and later kidnaps slimes corpse and traps him in a cave
Punz shows up, says some stuff, purples agrees to work for him and dream (this will not go well)
they raid las nevadas!! dream blows some shit up, foolish releases an army of slimes, and purpled yells at Quackity some more
slime reveals he’s not actually a dumbass and shoves purples of off a balcony
and then the server fucking ended so I guess that’s that!
so, long story short, purpled is pretty much just a badass but also cringefail assassin, who does not like people or conflict, and has cared about two things ever (his ufo and his dog, which is thankfully still alive), but is also still just a teenager, and has some shit going on.
he doesn’t care about a lot, but he does have silly little feelings sometimes and the only two times he ever showed that he blew up his own house and the second time he fucking died

And more OC asks: Sam also!
Sam!
Sam; the kindly neighborhood pawnshop owner;
+ accomplished pianist
A musically gifted, bright young soul who met his future wife at a recital when he was 17
The two of them would play duets together long into the night
Her name was Salome. They had the kind of romance people write love stories about but they had the unfortunate distinction of being in a horror story instead
Sam, hailing from a family of awful and tragic people, wanted a life that would instead be beautiful and simple and happy. He just wanted to have his little shop and raise a family with his wife BUT
None of that came to be. The world around them was growing increasingly unstable; haunted; behorrored.
And Sam's family was, perhaps, the cause of this.
Their shop in particular was a dangerous place full of old bad memories that kept cropping up at every turn and throwing the owners into despair. Salome ran away eventually but Sam stayed there, alone, for years, trying to salvage the place he'd built for himself even long after it was clear that it would never function either as a home or a livelihood
He eventually died by suicide and became a part of the haunting of the shop. By that point he was nearly 40 years old
After that no one wanted to run the place so it passed down to one of Sam's family. I'm debating whether this would fall to Faith or to Max, we'll see what happens in final.
It just stayed empty for 7 years before Faith took it over. But he's still there.
Other, more lighthearted stuff:
His niece Bianca was born when he was I think 16 and he gave her a toy sheep that became her comfort object and she carried it around with her everywhere
He and his sister Cecilia were always really close because they were the Babies. There's a 14 year age gap between them and the older 3 kids. Ceci's 2 years younger than him
He met Faith when she was about 8 years old and she wandered away from her mother and got lost. It wasn't sad or anything she did it on purpose lmao
When he was REALLY young he wanted to be a meteorologist and so Win used to set up his radio and let him do weather reports and record them. The recordings still exist somewhere and maybe they even still work if you try to play them back
