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. :)

STRIFE SPECIBI: Brbwirekind, Branchkind
FETCH MODUS: Dowsing Modus: Cards spread out into a matrix ‘field’ to be explored with a dowsing wand in a hot-cold searching game. Items that have a lot of traits in common will be 'warm' and can lead to grabbing the wrong item. Once an item is retrieved, whether the intended item or not, the matrix resets. The more items in the sylladex, the larger the ‘field’ and thus the longer the search may take.

BLOOD COLOR: #1165DA
POWER: Iron Stomach: Durian eats a wide variety of things, but never seems to get sick from his food. Do not let him cook for you, as he might add something mildly poisonous.
SYMBOL: The symbol for a caltrop. Three arrows point out in different directions, forming a triangle.

LUSUS: Fox
Abilities:

Durian is a moderately skilled tracker. Chasing prey is fun from time to time, but recognizing a game trail and putting successful snares in it: food with minimal effort is truly satisfying.
After a couple sweeps of nomadic life, Durian has good endurance for walking and can run quickly.
He's good at quick arithmetic, able to calcuate a person's numerological associations in his head.

Personality:

Durian is named after a stinky, prickly fruit and a philosopher/soldier/physician/occultist, and that symbolizes a lot of him.

He’s prickly and defensive, quick to dismiss stupid people and remark on their stupidity. Not that he thinks he knows everything! Durian is modest about his own skills and knowledge. Being a seeker of truth requires admitting your ignorance, questioning what you know, and asking what others know. Trolls who don’t admit to their ignorance are thus clearly less knowledgeable than him and they deserve to be told so in detail. He’s a little too fond of that part.

Seeking truth also involves exploring the world. He and his lusus travel extensively, experiencing life in a variety of environments and running from a lot of dangerous creatures. They scavenge from abandoned hives, eat various plants and hunt small animals. His culinary and alchemical adventures leave him smelling strange, but he doesn’t mind. Other trolls might mind, but he only rarely lives near other trolls; his lusus gets nervous when trolls live within sight. It's a disappointment, as Durian prefers being around other trolls. He likes watching the relationships evolve around him and contributing to the drama. It’s interesting how a rumor can change the dynamics, and it’s downright funny to see a troll hurt themselves. He likes to know what others think, and he’s an enthusiastic gossip.

Secretly he wants friends and quadrants who would long for him as he travels and rejoice when he visits. Anyone willing to get past his bluntness would find a tender, loyal center with just a few pit seeds of emotional neediness and highblood superiority. He’s quick to exchange loyalty for loyalty, hoping to buy relationship security through obligation. So far all his attempts at filling quadrants were brief flings. That may have been because the neediness was off-putting, or it may have been his blood bias. It’s not that all highbloods are superior or all lowbloods inferior, he would quickly deny. After all, he knows lowbloods who manage to thrive have very different perspectives from him, and he likes to learn from them. It’s just a tragic truth that those who live longer have more opportunities. In his more charitable moments, Durian thinks that maybe some troll scientyrant should work to lengthen the lifespans of lowbloods.

Durian’s symbol is a caltrop; a simple tangle of metal that rests on the ground with a spike upward. Enemies who pass over caltrops will injure themselves or their mounts. It’s a very passive, cheap, and effective weapon with a karmic retribution to it: if they weren’t advancing where they’re not wanted, they wouldn’t be wounded. Durian is paranoid about directly entering clear combat, as his lusus taught him very little about fighting and much more about evasion. He’d rather retreat, and if retreat doesn’t work he’d rather fortify and leave traps for his enemy to weaken themselves on. If direct fighting is the only choice, he carries a big stick.

History:

Durian used to live in a mostly-underground hive, nestled in the roots of a giant durian tree. He loved the prickly fruit for its flavor and the painful spikes of its outer covering. The smell took longer to get used to. Stepping on the spikes many times inspired him to deter most dangers to his hive by trapping the land around his hive with barbed wire and caltrops.

Some foxes prefer to pick a single territory and defend it, others prefer to roam perpetually. Durian prefers to have a steady home. His lusus doesn’t. Fox Dad accepted that a kit would want to live in a den while young, but as he aged the more Fox Dad chafed for them to travel. To placate the lusus, Durian had them take regular hiking trips that would last a few nights. Their hive was destroyed while they were away on one of those trips. Fox Dad was unbearably smug for perigees afterwards. Durian didn’t want to live perpetually on the move, so whenever they find an abandoned hive that both like they move in for a while.

ANCESTOR:
Troll Agrippae, the Sorcerer whose wriggler name was Cornel Agripa. A Researcher/Physician/Soldier (I haven’t throught of a troll job yet) who was repeatedly demoted for probing too much into F9R6IDDEN T9PICS. He was demoted instead of culled only because, after he survived the first few culling attempts, most superiors just didn’t want to deal with him. An arrogant, vulgar troll who was rumored to have a large BLACK canine for a lusus.

>- Well-behaved trolls rarely make history -< Troll Agrippae

INTRODUCTION:

Your name is DURIAN AGRIPA. You were forced to ABANDON YOUR HIVE after some UNKNOWN DISASTER destroyed it and several neighboring hives. Since then you and your lusus have been TRAVELING EXTENSIVELY and SQUATTING in the hives of dead trolls. Your FOXDAD is thrilled by the chance to teach you a PROPER NOMADIC LIFESTYLE and the importance of ADAPTABILITY, especially now that you can’t rely on your MULTITUDES OF TRAPS scattered around your hive to protect you. You hope to learn about your ANCESTOR and follow in his footsteps one day, but unfortunately history is filled with several TROLL AGRIPPAE and you honestly don’t know which one you’re descended from. With your ENTHUSIASM FOR DIVINATION you hope it’s the one who named your favorite system of NUMEROLOGY.

You have TERRIBLE TASTES in FOOD and FASHION because you MIX THINGS EXPERIMENTALLY. Even for a troll you dress badly, between your RAGGED FOXTAIL, VIVDLY COLORED VEST and your tendency to TUCK YOUR PANTS into your MUD BOOTS. When you LIVE NEAR OTHER TROLLS your color choices and ODOR are OFFPUTTING. That never stops your GENUINE INTEREST IN THEIR LIVES and the complications of DRAMA surrounding them. You gladly LISTEN TO AND SHARE RUMORS.

Your trolltag is defensiveAlchemist and your speech is genera11y calm with occa5ional 5ignificant Capitalization5 until you’re angry enough to fi11 it with 6arbed commentary that any Idiot 5hould 6e a6le to under5tand.
