@Imoyram this thread will, kinda by definition, prolly have ppl interested in hearing abt ur troll ideas if u wanna share 8)
Hee okay. Well, the two most developed (and not marysue-y) ones are now my icon, they are my little gay babbys, and are adorable. Voxlov Mamzer Violet blood Traits- quiet, easily worried, determined, embarrassed easily, voxlov is shorter than camahi, enough that camahi can rest his elbows on voxlov's shoulders, and stack their heads Matesprite- Camahi Camahi Smozze Olive blood Traits- easygoing, silly, excitable, displays emotions easily (heart on their sleeve), will do things with either lots of thought put into it or no thought put into it, hungry all the time, will eat basically anything Interests- Arthurian Myths (or the troll equivalent), fantasy, Matesprite- Voxlov Hives- Voxlov- Completely submerged castle in a freshwater lake, not to big of a lake though, but it is very murky, and you probably couldnt see through it easily. Therefor Voxlov doesnt really leave his hive much. Camahi- Not sure what it looks like yet, but it is quite close to the lake Voxlov lives in, but they didnt know that for a while, since the water is dark enough you couldnt really see the hive. Lusii- Voxlov- Some form of fish, havent decided yet. Probably something that filters water (I know fish like this exists, that clean the water) edit: Maybe Doctor fish, cause they could be all mothering to Voxlov. Not sure yet. edit 2: found a fish used in filtration, it is a freshwater fish, tipacally found near the bottom of lakes. Aw hell yeah. now to make it look like lusii Camahi- No fucking clue Spoiler: Pics Signs- Voxlov- Based on seaweed Camahi- Supposed to be like a heart shape on a sleeve *heh* Horns- Voxlov- Seaweed Camahi- DX I dont remember (courtesy of Ruevian) Feel free to input thoughts! :)
@Imoyram This a really arbitrary thing for me to comment on, but I'm overly fond of Voxlov's name. ^^ And those two are pretty cute together, I usually see seadwellers get headcanoned as taller so he's new in that regard. If you're not against some more advice for making ideas, I make most of my fantrolls for RP things so I tend to start from 'what is an RP concept that I would enjoy writing' and going from there? (Spoiler alert: it's mostly 'helmsmen' and 'unhealthy relationships.') ... Speaking of helmsmen and unhealthy relationships, I have a couple of trolls I figured I'd post here in case people are still interested in disqus! (Or rp tbh, I am always always up for that - I have a tumblr for it at belltrolls.tumblr.com, and their urls at /bonnieparker and /kingfisher) (please god more people RP with me) Spoiler: pix (this pic and the next one are by @taxonomicAtrocity by the way!) This is Bonnie. That is not her real name because she is 12-sweep-old quadless thief who kidnapped/stole a policeradicator ship called Kingfisher and is pretending to be a low-ranking tealblood police officer by the extremely name of Bonnie Parker. It's okay, her other alias is named 'Rocket Jockey.' Somehow she still manages to be believable. She has no clue how to settle down and throws herself into dangerous situations because she feels like she's itching out of her own skin if she's not getting an adrenaline kick. Kingfisher is helmed by a maroonblood who used to be named Harley, but she's now just kind of stuck with Bonnie. She hates it, it is terrible, but Bonnie at least jailbroke the system to get around safety restrictions, which ended up giving Kingfisher some personal leeway as well. She's mostly lonely for interaction other than with Bonnie, who treats her less like a person and more like some convenient hardware. Would probably sell her soul to horrorterrors in exchange for a friend, and likes to pretend to be a blueblood on the internet so people will talk to her. Spoiler: pix
Is there any particular reason why? I'm curious :P I think they are adorable too :> I had no idea that seadwellers were usually portrayed taller. I just put there height in cause it felt like it fit them well. Mmm. That does sound like it could work. Unfortunatly I have not participated in mush roleplay, only a few with my brother (most of which I wasnt fond of) and I've been in one dnd campaign? (btw, I think all the fantrolls in here are super cool, and Im loving all the helmsman stuff going on :P)
Haha, I love playing around with helmsman headcanons. And I don't know, I just really like the sound of it! As for the seadwellers - that's mostly just been in my tiny corner of the RP world, it's not a general thing as far as I know.
*QUIVERS WITH EXCITEMENT* Ok so I'm going to start with just one fantroll, and only one iteration of said fantroll... because AUs are a thing friends and I keep making. I present to you what originally was my trollsona until she became her own character! Name: Kamika Ecesis Sign: Officially, a stylization of my initials. Unofficially, the "true" sign is the chakana, but her ancestor edited official imperial records so that future Ecesis members would not be culled for said ancestor's heresy. Age: Started roleplaying her in this iteration at 15 sweeps, and followed through for some fourty more at least. Hemocaste: Teal Gender: F Quads: <3 A stable threeway arrangement with Ueceed Avarth (subjugglator, purple) and Jaycee Cotoch (yellow). <> Serendipitously pale with her childhood friend and patron Citlal Quoatl (seadweller). Mostly long distance when in the fleet. <3< Technically empty and consists of flings, but this is mostly because her actual kismesis (tru h8!) is the jadeblood Llawar Yantin, and jadebloods do not leave the caverns, and they technically no longer have quadrants. c3< Revolving door for workplace stability. Lusus: Alpacamom Trollian handle: dulceAnagenesis Type Quirk: Replaces ‘C’s with ( and ‘D’s with /), doubles her rrs, abuses exclamation points, and smileys, and uses accents on vowels (´) when they are doubled. Uses emoticons where a capitalized C are here horns, one of the few times she doesn’t replace a C with a (. Ex/ c:C ):C O:C Occasionally puts glasses on her smileys c8C Bio Blurb: Spoiler: It gets a bit long Your name is KAMÍKA ECESIS, and you are full of UNDYING GOOD HUMOUR! You are a promising UP AND COMING GENETICULLER, having recently secured yourself a position as ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR in the Genetic Engineering Sector of the Command Cluster Series I Space Station, Nova Pyxis, and you are having A BIT TOO MUCH FUN. Apart from creating ODD GENETIC ABERRATIONS to serve your Empire, you also like PLAYING with said ODD GENETIC ABERRATIONS and the NEW STRAINS of USEFUL CREATURES they can be, especially when you experiment with TROLL GENES and various WILD BEASTIES. You used to have a small niche in Alternia’s blackmarket for MODIFIED CREATURES, but that was before conscription, and was possibly illegal. Instead, you now obsess over the AUGMENTATION of trolls as INDIVIDUALS and as a SPECIES – a transtrollian endeavour!!!!! Others are not so hot on your gung ho ideals about genetic modifications for future trolls, or the way you ogle trolls with interesting mutations and psionic traits. You might have quietly collected a few genetic samples of the more promising ones. Beyond SCIENCE!, which is always written with EXCITEMENT POLES, you like crocheting, which reminds you of your lusus’ fur, throwing TEA PARTIES for your workplace sanity, folding origami, reading nice and steamy quadrant clusterfuck romance novels, and GETTING IN PEOPLE’S FACES and MEDDLING or having a good old RAMBLING CONVERSATION that somehow, you totally don’t know how, ends up defusing the worst of your workplace fights. Your LABORATORY’S SURVIVAL RATE is surprisingly HIGH for its interns. You are also a bit of a PALESTUD. A DIAMONDBABE. A CONCILIATORY DREAMBOAT. Or so you say. Your cheerful demeanour and unceasing interest in others has led to many a pacified troll, making you in high demand in your childhood circles, where you made some extra money with the lucrative, if sometimes hazardous job of a PALE CONSULTANT which you dropped when you neared adulthood because THIS SHIT CRAY and also HIGHBLOODS ARE CRAZY JEALOUS. However, you have found true PALE SERENDIPITY with the loveliest DUTY BOUND seadweller you have ever met. SADLY, you are now “WIDOWED” in your black quadrant, seeing as you cannot maintain a KISMESISHIP with a jadeblood, however black you may be for each other. You still wear his colours, as in some ways, your HATEPUMP will always be HIS. Your trolltag is <dulceAnagenesis> and you speak in a (héérrful, polite mannerr, double yourr rrs due to yourr a((ent, have a ten/)en(y to (áll otherrs by ni(knames such as honéygrub, abuse ex(lamation márrks in multiples of 5s, an/) overruse smíleys!!!!! c;C There might be people who viscerally wanted to stab your quirk. Fetch Modii: Punnet Square. The bigger/more valuable an object is, the more complicated/larger the Punnet square for a particular phenotype she has to solve is to get access it, often involving squares with three traits and occasional recombinant calculations. Punnet squares can be solved ahead of time so that the item they contain can be accessed immediately. Strife Specibus: Axe kind - both meelee and ranged. However, if seriously under threat, she always has some of her own genetically engineered beastlings stored in her sylladex for her defense. Scars/Distinguishing features: Mole on left side of face, underneath edge of mouth. Fading scrape scars on elbows, knees, palms and soles of feet from her childhood up in the mountains and the scrapes and falls she would get. Scratch and bite marks on both fore arms, and big scratch on left calf, all the result of some problems with her engineered creatures. Small horizontal cut underneath left eye. Two incisions in inner upper arms with stitches from… personal “improvements”. Clothing: Labcoat over any relaxed casual clothing she has, so long as it has closed shoes. These can count from boots with pants and tank tops, long skirts, and jackets, to random mixes and matches. Likes: Tea, salty and spicy treats, cooking for her friends and herself, sleeping in, colorful things, laughing. Dislikes: Fighting, ignorance, inspections, near death experiences, people who don’t understand boundaries. Spoiler: A bunch of pictures
why did i need to spend three hours making an indexable spreadsheet of all the trolls that appear in @Anomal(eee) and I's RP 'verse? because I NEEDED IT It's just got basic info to index by (names, castes, ages, locations, quadrants filled, etc) but WOW we have 70 trolls.
aHHH im gonna start with just one troll because i have a LOT ;-; name: Chiron Optera sign: age: 10 sweepa hemocaste: Sage green gender: Male psionics/psychic abilities/etc: A kind of psychic echo-location type thing??? quads: He's totally scarlet for his scrawny gay pumpkin boyfriend. He's black for a grumpy piece of shit badger psioniic. lusus: Bat-dad! more often referred to as Dumb-ass quirk: "Dxd xt really take you ten minutes to realxze xm blxnd? Great fu(((kxn job shxtsponge. You have rea(((hed a whole new txer of stupxdxty. (((ongrats, your prxze xs all the fu(((ks xn sxght. Guess you're outta lu(((k dumbass." appearance:
Last time I talked about my Oneira before the Weirdmageddon Tango started, she had my personal symbol for a symbol, different horns, a different story with her moirail Loreli, and a different last name. Now she's... a bit better developed. Name: Oneira Eluvei Symbol: Canes Venatici Age: currently 6 1/2 sweeps, but I caught glimpses of a ~14 sweeps old version of her Caste: Just below cutoff for Jade Gender: Female Psionics: None Quadrants: Diamonds with @IvyLB's character Loreli Rheins, Slate with Ophira Reesch (because Ophira got sort of pulled into the diamonds polypile and will never ever admit it, so she's Slate, based on the </> symbol she sends). Exclusively xenophile on the concupiscent axis. Lusus: Arctic Barkbeast Quirk: Once upon a time double rr and pirate puns, now only occasional pirate puns, and whatever other fitting puns come up. She's a bit of an oppuntunist. Appearance: 5'0, stocky build, chaotic shoulderlength hair. Sun & acid scars on her face. Horns like mirrored lightning strikes, although the right one gets broken off somewhere through every story in which she is Bio: When Oneira was 2 1/2 sweeps old, she found some arctic barkbeast welps whose mother had died, and took them in with her lusus as her pack. When she was 3 sweeps old, she stumbled across a hive repurposed to an inofficial rest stop / Sufferist hideout, who took her in because Handmaid above there's a fucking blizzard outside. When she was 4 sweeps old, the clade inhabiting the place just disappeared, so she took over, along with the deliveries to the neighbours. When she was 5 sweeps old, she met her moirail Loreli on one of those trips, when Loreli attacked her on the delivery ship. Oneira shot her in the shoulder, Loreli went drama queen and I'm dyyyyyying and Oneira was like, dude, stop bleeding on my boat. And patched her up. It was serendipitous as hell. Classpect: Knight of Hope Dream Moon: ???? Strife Specibus: Crossbowkind Sylladex Modus: Origami Handle: eyefishSoup [ES] Other: Builds crossbows from wood and bone. Crackshot. Good balance. Too close to jade to respect the sun, not jade enough to not get burned. Name: Gobano Eluvei Symbol: Canes Venatici Age: Unknown. Died many thousand sweeps ago. Title: Arbalest Snowfang Caste: Just below cutoff for Jade Gender: Female Psionics: None Can perceive Hope Quadrants: A fishtroll matesprit, a subjugglator kismesis. Both might still be alive. Lusus: Arctic Barkbeast Quirk: ???? Appearance: 5'0, no horns, white skin, white hair, white bleached horn stumps, white clothing, white arbalest. Bio: Not much is known about Arbalest. It is said she was so terrifying no lusus wanted her, so she crawled out the brooding caverns on her own and was raised by arctic barkbeasts. She works for the Empire because it pays best, and generally lives life to the fullest - without concern for anyone else. She roams Troll Scandinavia in search of deserters and heretics, and only those who are so beyond hope they're going to die anyways are safe from her, for if you dare hope, you go up like a flare. Gobano cares not for your caste. Rust and Royal alike, if you annoy her, you get to be on the business end of her namesake weapon. Gobano became a legend, a bogeyman, for the trolls of Troll Scandinavia, her legend retold and embellished many times throughout the centuries. Classpect: Seer of Hope Dream Moon: ???? Strife Specibus: Crossbowkind Sylladex Modus: ???? Handle: ???? Other: Even more of a crackshot than Oneira. Does technically impossible shots with her Arbalest. How? No one knows. Or maybe it's just legend.
@IvyLB tagging you over her to ask another question, since it is not very related to drawing thread symbol? do you have any ideas?
@emythos Would it be reasonable to make your boyfriend a blueblood? (I want you to wear blue lipstick but you are a brownblood, obviously next idea is quadrants)
poking this over to a more appropriate thread @emythos and @Imoyram lol @Imoyram. @emythos i am so down to be the mysterious disembodied voice that is somehow Always Present. and you don't dig too far into the source of the voice 'cause you don't wanna know. aaaaaaah (so, to recap: when i was an angsty teenager, i was some iteration of the sadomasochistic villain/victim 2xcombo. now, as a twenty-something, i am the mysterious and possibly tragic but also (darkly) comedic lurker. nice.)
also tbh every damn troll in alternia has a Tragic Backstory, it's basically required to become an adult
(i mean a fancy famous troll opera singer with an underground radio show would also be totally fucking awesome)
You do NOT want to know how she somehow is on every frequency. But she is, and it never stops. yes good! we all have built in ones!
I will post. Because troll!me hanging out with mousemom and babbling to animals, while being a makeup nerd and trying avoid death sounds like fun.
can you imagine how controversial this forum would be for trolls (also I was thinking ore along the lines of discuss character building and stuff, but turning it into casual rp stuff would be fun too!)
dude dude dude listen to this k so alternian opera singer. (alternian opera is very bloody and full of quadrant vacillation and also rigid casteism that is carefully subverted but not too openly and it's absolutely in the tradition of French grand opera (except the new wave which is definitely Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk (and the super cutting edge avantgarde opera that's Strauss and Berg à la Salome and Wozzeck)) (and of course the classic romantic trash like A dashing yet poor burgundyblood falls flush-pale for a sickly rustblood who dies of wasting sickness after a poor pupation; meanwhile a smarter oliveblood courts a saucy jadeblood flush-pitch, while the jadeblood tries to get the rustblood hooked up with a generous high-tint blueblood so the rustblood might not die, because the jadeblood and the rustblood are in a moireallegiance)) she's supposed to premiere the biggest opera yet, a fantastic display of imperial pomp and circumstance - she's meant to play The Condescension herself-- and she disappears it's rumoured that she was taken by the Sufferists-- then rumoured that she was a Sufferist-- the original drafts of the opera leak and it's so hemoegalitarian-- and then, word starts spreading through deep-web comm channels about a new dark radio station, broadcasting rarely, and the voice of the host is like the sweetest, purest sopor... and the radio station just keeps broadcasting through the sweeps, becoming legend, becoming a tiny little thorn in Her Condescension's side because that opera singer should be dead by now and she's still singing
