APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.

Comment to this entry with your character's information/a claim to a title! An example of how your sheet should look can be found here! Remember a few things when commenting:

RULES:

1) This is not 100% canon, so misc. blood castes for trolls are allowed¹ - however, we don't want to have excess numbers of mutantbloods running around, so please take that into consideration. Limebloods are also off-limits for the time being, since we have no canon information on them.
2) If you don't have a Patron Troll, Sibling, or Quadrants don't panic! Use the planning section below to find them.
3) POWERS for Trolls should be unique on some level; they are not mandatory for a character²
4) KIDS should be no younger than fifteen to sixteen years old
5) TROLLS should be no younger than seven sweeps old
6) Only one character per person will be accepted at the moment
7) There is an application cap in place! We would prefer not to have the game get any bigger than it was originally, so: a limit of four kids may be applied for. Trolls are at a limit of eight; all are permitted for Alpha session - Alpha was/is intended to be the larger of the two troll sessions!
8) Do NOT choose a Class/Aspect right now! These, as well as your character's planets (as they are supposed to be linked to your character's aspect) will be chosen AFTER you're accepted into the community. They are first-come, first-serve, so if you're building a character with a particular title in mind, there's no guarantee that you will actually get it!

¹ Try to avoid a particular blood color if there are several with that similar type, diversity is more fun :)
² If the one you want is taken, try to think of something quirky that works!

INFORMATION FOR NEW PLAYERS: Please refer to this post for a general outline of the game and what the multiple sessions entail! You can also use the game's timeline to refer to important events, or when a past character died or otherwise left the game. The most significant losses include Phaest Algfri and Samsra Sukana, the Alpha Team trolls that created the original game, and Arinna Onuava, who hacked Phaest's game and left Eighis Hapara to distrubute the game to Beta Team. So the remaining players might be in a heap of trouble without the creators around to explain anything!

It looks like a lot has happened since the game began back in March, but it really isn't that much to take in. Scrib is a very casual and slow-paced game - there is no activity check, and players are free to post and tag at their own leisure. :)

NAME: Pherae Elapha (feh’RAI eh-LA-fa)
HANDLE: tenderAgrotera
MOON: Prospit
AGE: 8 sweeps
QUIRK:
( the most noticeable aspect of her quirk is the two spaced parentheses around all text… )
( always types in lowercase… and often uses ellipses… but besides that uses proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. )
( the exception to this rule is when she is REALLY quite upset, )
( and her speech )
( becomes )
( more stunted and EMPHATIC. )
( fond of emotes involving the letter “o,” such as o_o and :o )
STRIFE SPECIBI: bowkind, ropekind
FETCH MODUS: Phylogenic: items are sorted by “relationships” to one another, forming complex and sometimes unexpected “trees” of organization. These pathways must be followed (and their internal logic figured out) in order to retrieve items.
RELATIONS:
♢ - (deceased ~1 sweep ago: Epibat Delfin)
♥ -
♣ -
♠ -
BLOOD COLOR: #078446 (jadeblood)
POWER: none, beyond jadeblood sun resistance
SYMBOL: astrological symbol for the sun: ☉

LUSUS: predatory antlerbeast (on Alternia, of course it’s predatory)
Abilities:

Like all jadebloods, Pherae has the natural ability to withstand Alternia’s sun. She has put that ability to good use tracking down (and, when necessary, lassoing) unusual wildlife, as per her other great talent: she is a very knowledgeable biologist and zoologist. Pherae is also quite empathetic – an unusual enough quality in troll society to bear mentioning here... though for that same reason it's probably more of a weakness. However, empathy shouldn’t be mistaken for helplessness: keeping up with her predatory antlerbeast lusus has meant learning to be fast and agile, and to be a good shot with her bow.

Personality:

Jadebloods get a strange deal in troll society. Not high enough on the hemospectrum to be nobility, but nevertheless too high to experience the discrimination lowbloods know, they are instead isolated by their unique ability to withstand the Alternian sun, and by their celebrated tendency to bond with unique and/or special lusii, giving them a particular connection to a central aspect of the troll reproductive cycle. All of that (but mostly the daylight) means that it can be hard to meet other trolls – at least in person. And, to be honest, Pherae prefers it that way.

It’s not that she doesn’t like other trolls! To the contrary, she very much so wants to be around others, to Contribute. Certainly she's quite fond of the trolls she meets through Trollian, and often makes herself available as an understanding ear. (She may or may not have a reputation as a bit of an ashen-slut.) It’s just that, well, other trolls are violent, and cruel. She would never judge them for it, of course; it’s her own personal failing and no one else’s that she’s so uncomfortable acting like that – so really, her daytime isolation is a good way to keep from embarrassing herself. Her lifestyle works out pretty well, too: under the guidance of her predatory antlerbeast lusus, she has learned enough speed, agility, and deadliness with a bow to impress any potential, ah, cullers. Just don’t ask her to use those skills on another troll.

I mean… she’ll still kill you and everything, if you really force the matter. But she’ll feel bad about it for months afterwards, and you don’t really want to put her through that, do you?

Ultimately, Pherae's personality is what happens when you take an irrefutably gentle soul with a strong desire to help others and and raise her to believe that her gentleness and empathy are unnatural. The result is a classically Alternian acceptance of killing as a simple necessity of life, paired with a massive and self-perpetuating guilt complex: Pherae feels bad about the violence of her life, then feels bad for feeling bad. Likewise, she's always questioning her own instinct to be helpful to other trolls: she's pretty sure she's doing good, which is important to her, but she can't shake the feeling that she's inherently "doing it wrong" in terms of being a troll.

Pherae’s great passion – and the way she hopes to fulfill what she sees as her duty to society – is for lusii, and their relationship to other Alternian fauna. She loves studying Alternia’s wildlife, no matter how apparently deadly (it might be observed that Pherae has a sometimes-questionable definition of “cute” and “lovable”), and dreams of putting her knowledge towards the breeding, maintaining, and improvement of the lusus population. It would be the best of all possible worlds as a job: helping young trolls by uniting them with the perfect lusus…and with no obligation to interact with actual other trolls in order to do so.

History:

Pherae Elapha was raised to the notion that she had an essential part to play in troll society, and it's a message she truly took to heart. From a young age, she sought to live up to this ideal, but soon found that her idealistic passion for being a positive influence on the world around her did not match up with the world around her's expectation that she be capable of routine murder. She coped with this in two ways: by using her interest in Alternia's wildlife as an excuse to isolate herself, and by attempting to more closely model her behavior on that of her ancestor, the wild and brutal Beastmistress Heliadae, a mysterious and nomadic jadeblood known for stalking the day with her coterie of deadly pets. "Deermom" was a helpful tutor too, encouraging her to quietly track prey and enemies alike before opening chase and running them down, then closing with her bow.

Unfortunately, unlike her ancestor, Pherae is simply put uncomfortable with killing – and not for lack of trying to be otherwise. The first time she took another troll's life it was with great confidence (in emulation of the Beastmistress), when another young troll came into her "territory" and attacked one of her favorites among the local animals. But after the deed was done she found herself overwhelmed with anguish: she had robbed someone of his life, and he hadn't ever known what he'd done wrong. Since then, she has been forced to "murder" once more, acting in desperate self-defense during her one deeply ill-advised game of FLARP (since I'm sure you were wondering: she strangled one of her two attackers/opponents), and it confirmed to her what she had already suspected: that she wasn't cut out to be a proper troll.

The only reason Pherae got involved in FLARP in the first place, though, was for the sake of supporting her moirail, the purple-blooded Epibat Delfin. Epibat was a devoted FLARPer, with a patient and strategic bent to his violence. Pherae knew that he was also artistic, and capable of applying his intelligence to kinder things – both talents that she did her utmost best to encourage; however, she couldn't keep him from the outlet he found in FLARP. Unsurprisingly, the highblood made a lot of enemies in his FLARP circles, and his reputation was only "improved" by the elaborate vengeance he took on the troll that survived attacking his moirail. All of this culminated about one sweep ago, when a group of lowbloods managed to return the favor and take him out for good.

...Suffice it to say, Pherae has earned her opinion of violence. She's very close to the end of troll, childhood now, and the Archeradicators have expressed an interest in her, but she wants nothing to do with that lifestyle.

INTRODUCTION:

Your name is PHERAE ELAPHA.

In all of Alternia, there is nothing you think is more fascinating and wonderful than FAUNA. You find it easy to CAPTURE and STUDY even the most DANGEROUS kinds – which also happen to be the ones that you think are the most BEAUTIFUL and INTERESTING – with the help of your PREDATORY ANTLERBEAST lusus, who has taught you how to be a SWIFT HUNTER. It helps that your JADE BLOOD allows you to go out in pursuit of the kind of RARE AND DEADLY DAYTIME FAUNA that most trolls are glad to never see. Someday you hope to apply your ZOOLOGICAL LEARNINGS to the betterment of trollkind by BREEDING SPECIAL LUSII for young trolls in need. To you, helping out this way is part of your RESPONSIBILITY as a jadeblood.

Your HIVE is located at the edge of a forest full of your favorite DEADLY FAUNA, so between that and your unusual sleep schedule you are PRETTY ISOLATED. Actually, you don't really mind, because troll violence has always made you REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. It's hard to HELP OTHERS when they keep on STABBING EACH OTHER, and it's been nearly a sweep since you've truly been close to anyone.

Your trolltag is tenderAgrotera and your speech is ( very sweet, gentle, and soft-spoken, as if you want to be helpful but have to hide your words in case you offend anyone… i mean, if that’s okay… ).

Congratulations, your application has been accepted! Please join

scrib and

trollxzibit with your character's journal, and be sure to friend THE SCRIB PLURK for future updates! It's also a good idea to look at the game's information pages to familiarize yourself with the game's setting - the GAME TIMELINE is especially important!

Please stay tuned to the mod plurk over the next couple of days; there will be important information about further things you'll need to fill out for your character. We will be opening up TITLE CLAIMS at 5 PM CST tomorrow (Monday, October 8th), so think about the title you'd like for your character to have! A list of available classes and aspects have been added here.

Thank you for applying, and we look forward to playing with you!

:DDDDD

omg omg omg

Also, the other reason I'm commenting is to offer to switch Pherae's moon to Derse if necessary to even out the numbers (she would totally want to be friends with the horrorterrors).

quick update:

just noticed that I doofed and misspelled Pherae's fetch modus; it should be a Phylogenetic modus.
