View Full Version : Hivebent Sign-ups

Decided to go with Hivebent, despite having hardly any votes for it. It just felt right to me.

Also Romance

Sign Up Sheet

Name: What is your name? Trolls names are usually quite different from that of a humans. On average, they seem to have 6 letters, but don't worry about that. Just try to make it sound alien.

Gender: Self explanatory. Not enough information about troll gender to give long example.

Age: How old are you? On Alternia, time is measured mostly in Solar Sweeps, and you have a 'wriggling' day rather than a birthday. A solar sweep seems to be a bit more than 2 years, as it has been stated that 6 solar sweeps is equal to 13 years. For simplicities sake, assume that this means each solar sweep is 2 years. Too little is known about the troll's calender to actually pin down exactly when your troll was hatched.

Appearance: What do you look like? Most troll's all share these traits: black lips, yellow eyes with black irises, horns that are colored almost like candy corn, fangs, and gray skin. However, no two trolls seem to have the same horns or fangs, and there has been exceptions to the eye rule, as Sollux has blue and red eyes, and Vriska has 7 red pupils in one eye. Occasionally, they seem to draw some traits from their Lusus.

Lusus: Also known as a custodian. No troll to ever meet is or her blood parents, nor is it easy to trace. Details are here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003969). Basically, all Troll's are raised by a special sub-species of animals on their planet. Usually, their Lusus offers them protection and they act as a sort of zoo-keeper. Almost all Lususes are colored white and gray, with only a few colors scattered throughout, they also have identical blood to their troll they take care of. Some Lususes are assigned to a troll depending on their blood color. Those with Jade Green Blood are taken care of by a virgin mother grub, and the troll with the highest blood is protected by... well this (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004335). In some cases, a Lusus can be very high maintenance as well. It depends on the luck of the draw I suppose. Chances are, your lusus will die before you enter and serve as prototyping material.

Trollian Handle: To communicate with the others, you will primarily use the instant messaging system known as Trollian. Trollian is a rather odd chat client. It seems to be capable of ignoring time, and also has a view-port to see the person who you are talking with. However, these are both very complicated features and are very hard to get working properly. Your name on Trollian usually reflects something about you, like your hobbies, and text color is usually one's blood. Include a typing quirk to, if there is one.

Blood Color: Each troll has a different blood color. The color of their blood represents their place in Society. Those with shades of purple are the highest, then blue, then Green, and all others seem to be the lowest. Red in particular is rock bottom. Blood color doesn't seem to mean much else, and usually it is only the high-bloods that discriminate, but it is the color you type in on Trollian, unless you opt for anonymity. The higher blood you havem the higher your psychic resistance is, and low bloods are apparently more prone to mutation. In addition, most purple bloods are Aquatic trolls, who have gills and live both underwater and on land.

Hive: When each troll and his/her lusus arise on the surface, they then make their hive. Each troll is expected to design their own hive and choose the location, once that is done the Carpenter Drones will build it for them. Some trolls live on Communal Hive stems, which are our equivalent to apartments, and some live in Lawn Rings, which would be like a neighborhood. Some live in more isolated or esoteric places though, and not all livei n hives. Eridan lives in a wrecked Ship for example, and Nepeta lives in a cave.

Strife Specibus: What weapon does your character use?

Fetch Modus: How does your character carry items around? Usually functions as a sort of Hammer-space. Default is just the Array modus.

Title: What is your Sburb/Sgrub title? This affects what sort of abilities you might have access to once the game starts, and goes by the theme of 'X of Y'. For example, Aradia is the Maid of Time and can travel through time. I'll probably need one time person.

Dreamself: Prospit or Derse? Hoping for an even split. Each planet may have 1 person already awake.

Interests: Everyone has a hobby!

Additional Notes: Anything else about your character goes here. Does he/she have a theme song? Do they have any mutations? Abnormal abilities? All sorts of oddities can arise in trolls. Any history can be revealed as the RP goes on, but can also be stated in here.

---

At least one character should live near a frog temple, and at least one should also be capable of finding a means of getting it and distributing it. Don't feel pressured though. I'll probably make a GMPC who can handle that if no one wants it. The programming part can also be left to me.

Feel free to ask any questions. I'll include Exile sheets at a later date, but they will be optional.

Edit: If you want, you can PM the CS to me before posting it. It would be neat to have characters introduced and then revealing their CS.

Geminex has turned his PC in as well.

Gem is going to be something of a co-gm. We'll be working together to make some decisions and smooth out plot details.

It's not permanent. Don't worry, I retain primary control, don't let the avvy fool you.

Overcast
10-30-2010, 01:58 PM
It is more your choice of co-gm than the control. Many of us wouldn't trust Gem with a turkey sandwhich let alone hivebent material. The man breaks things that are beautiful. <<

Geminex
10-30-2010, 02:00 PM
Yah. I'm just helping out, making suggestions. I'll probably write some GM posts once we really get started (and Bard asks me to write one), but I'm more of an advisor than anything else. I hold influence at most, not authority.

And yeah, this is temporary. I sorta forced Bard's hand when I suggested this. Once time frees up for Bard, I'll be back to standard PC.

And Drac, since when do you even read homestuck? Much less RP it?

Edit:

You wound me, friend! I have done many wonderful things in RPs!
A few horrible things as well, admittedly.
But I think I can contribute, at the very least! I'm prepared and willing to put quite a bit of effort into this.

Edit2:
Let's see how many kismesis my character can get.

Dracorion
10-30-2010, 02:09 PM

In that order: Recently and not anymore.

One less!

Overcast
10-30-2010, 02:50 PM
As my character wants to become an Imperial Drone one day he'll have one thing to say, "Oh hey think I remembered something about kismeses, ONE! YOU GET ONE YOU FLACID WIGGLER! I swear if you ever try to bastardize our quadrants again I will shove my heaving bone bulge down your protein chute till you are fucking dead." Nah but I shall give you a chance for the sake of me wanting to do this. Also still trying to think up my typing issue.

Dracorion
10-30-2010, 03:08 PM
I would like to clarify that I haven't actually quit because of Gem.

It's this whole love-hate thing we got going on.

Its really just advising stuff.

And I am sad to hear this Drac.

Aldurin
10-30-2010, 03:32 PM
If he's gonna drop out in the signups just because an advisor is . . . well . . . Geminex, he probably won't tolerate the actual RP.

Dracorion
10-30-2010, 04:27 PM
And I am sad to hear this Drac.

Don't worry Bard I still hate you the most!

Intern Nin
10-30-2010, 05:16 PM
I'm in, even though I know I'm going to be driven crazy by the stupid quadrants.

Geminex
10-30-2010, 05:20 PM
The more people, the better! I can't wait to go from Matespiritship to kismesis because the kismesis in question lost his moirail to an incopomplete auspistice trio!
Seriously, if we get more than 6 people this is gonna be a relationship clusterfuck.
And it will be awesome.

Bard The 5th LW
10-30-2010, 05:34 PM
Intern nin is accepted!

DERSE: 3

PROSPIT: 2

If we can get 8 players, the Derse dreamers and Prospit dreamers will be divvied up into teams.

I'm in, even though I know I'm going to be driven crazy by the stupid quadrants.

Thats the funnest part!

Overcast is going to have a lot of work on his hands.

Geminex
10-30-2010, 07:28 PM
Though I'd suggest that we don't arrange this stuff OOC. Or at least do it overwhelmingly IC. I know, I'm usually the main perpetrator of using OOC deals to facilitate IC interactions, but I'm totally not gonna do that for the duration of this RP. Because it's much more confusilicious that way.

Though if two chracters have history together, their players should probably discuss that

Bard The 5th LW
10-30-2010, 08:38 PM
Histories between characters is definitely something that should happen. I have a good site for collaborative writing as well.

Players can go ahead and mention their characters histories in the story, and even have flashbacks. Were you a FLARP player? Maybe one of your fellow players used to be a Kismeisis?

Amsterdam
10-30-2010, 09:57 PM
Erf, it seems like you guys all know each other already and I'm but a lowly stranger.

Is there room in this awfully swell looking shindig for such a person?

Bard The 5th LW
10-30-2010, 10:26 PM
It is no problem at all! I hope you feel welcome!

Amsterdam
10-30-2010, 10:28 PM
Excellent, I will PM you post haste. :)

Geminex
10-31-2010, 04:07 AM
Yeah, welcome!
And how'd you find this RP? Just by lurking?

Hmm...
Who else is looking to join? Is Arha still in? How about Token, he expressed interest in the Rumpus Factory, didn't he? I might PM him.

Arhra
10-31-2010, 07:06 AM
Yes.

Profiles take time, y'know.

Token
10-31-2010, 10:04 AM
I've been busy. I'll PM something as soon as I get a chance, but I have an all day tech rehearsal in about an hour, so I might not have time for a few hours. I'd like to be a disreputable Derse Dreamer though.

Your name is TERGUM CAPITI.

This feels familiar in a cosmic sort of way.

mauve
10-31-2010, 03:21 PM

This, pretty much.

I'm still interested; just.... late.

Bard The 5th LW
10-31-2010, 03:57 PM
Its OK. I can wait to start.

Geminex
10-31-2010, 04:13 PM
Yeah, awesome! I don't wanna pressure any of you, there's no rush on. I just wanted to know who's still with us. I'm rather EXCITE-----------ED!!! about this RP.

BTW, bard, I don't have to be derse. Allocate me last, if we have too many Dersians, I can go prospit.

Your name is TERGUM CAPITI.

This feels familiar in a cosmic sort of way.
Now, I fully respect Token's right to determine what his character should be named.
And I certainly don't think he should let himself get typecast.
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES!

Though Tergum capiti means 'behind head'. If you want 'asshat', well, 'ass' can be translated as one of the following:

puga
culus
obscena
podex

Whereas 'hat' can mean:
tutela
petasus

Maybe 'Tutela obscens'? That's not grammatically correct, but it sounds allright.

...

Why yes, I do care about this far too much, thank you for asking.

Bard The 5th LW
10-31-2010, 04:15 PM
The meaning I was gong for was 'Rear Head' because I didn't want a direct translation.

Geminex
10-31-2010, 04:38 PM
Ah.
...
CARRY ON THEN.
I COMMAND IT.

POS Industries
10-31-2010, 09:41 PM
I hope I'm not too late to get in on this.

The fact that you started sign ups while I was out of town is everyone's fault but mine, after all!

PS: I'll go on team Prospit.

Bard The 5th LW
10-31-2010, 09:59 PM
Not too late at all!

You can post your CS anywhere, but I'm also leaving the option to PM it to me and keep it secret until your intro or later, sort of to keep with the feel of Homestuck itself.

Aldurin
10-31-2010, 10:25 PM
That makes 9 now doesn't it?

Bard The 5th LW
10-31-2010, 10:28 PM
As far as actual sheets go, I have Gem, Overcast, Earl, and Intern Nin.

Mauve, Ahrha, and Token have placeholders. As does POS. I'll probably make a PC as well, so yeah, 9.

Wizardcat
10-31-2010, 10:37 PM

11-01-2010, 02:56 PM
PM sent. Ended up tossing the idea I'd been toying with for the past week and going with a new idea I came up with in like an hour and a half at 2AM this morning....


...That's probably a bad sign. Oh well!



EDIT: Woohoo, accepted! Go Team Prospit!

Bard The 5th LW
11-01-2010, 03:07 PM
Mauve and Amsterdam are accepted.

BUAHAHAHAHA! ...okay too big. But yay team Prospit.

Bard The 5th LW
11-01-2010, 03:14 PM
Prospit and Derse will be split into teams, and will (probably) join via double reach around. However, after the reach around you can still try to work independently of each other. You can decide the leader amongst yourselves.

mauve
11-01-2010, 03:40 PM
Hnmmm. If the remaining signups don't even out the Derse/Prospit ratio, feel free to move my troll wherever she's needed, Bard.

Oh my gosh, all the things I could do with puppet leaders while I control the whole scheme behind the curtain and then an epic battle with whoever thinks they're awesome enough to be in control.

Edit:
Seriously, though, this can go two ways. On the one hand, we can just ignore the whole leadership aspect. I favor that. Power struggles can get really annoying. I have 60 threads of experience, trust me.
If, on the other hand, we're gonna have power struggles after all... Believe me, earl... If we're gonna end up with one commander, one troll to rule them all, one leader, no matter how obvious or not.
Believe me. That leader? It won't be you.

Metaphorically speaking, you can end up minus and arm and 7 eyes. Or we could drop the whole thing now. Which would you prefer?

Name: Tergum Capiti. Why don’t you know this already?
Gender: Male, you ignorant sack of shit. Isn’t that obvious?
Age: I have graced the Alternian landscape with my presence for roughly nine Solar Sweeps.
Appearance: Grey skin, with darker gray marks in the shapes of upside-down question marks. My horns curve down from the side of my head, outlining my chin, almost like a pair of mandibles. My hair is cut short, and I’m somewhat lanky. Black T-shirt with a green arrow outline.
Lusus: Giant praying mantis.
Trollian Handle: antipathicHopper Typing quirks include replacing L with |_ and using ^|^ to replace smileys and end sentences.
Blood: Green.
Hive: not really sure what to say for that one. Communal hive, I guess?
Strife Specibus: Scythekind
Fetch Modus: Can I use Hash? I am clueless about data structures.
Title: Reaper of Time
Dreamself: Derse
Interests: I fancy myself a writer, and I often easily get distracted by plot bunnies. Quite frankly, my writing is more important than anything you ever have to say.
Additional notes: People say I'm sort of an utter asshole, but they're just jealous that I'm so much more awesome than the rest of those pathetic bulgesniffing mothergrubbers. There was a period when I went through every troll in my hive when I was looking for a Kismesis, but I eventually gave up. No one could match my utter disgust towards everyone and everything. Redrom isn't really my style though; I'm too hateful to pity anyone.

(sorry if this isn't supposed to be in character. Like I said, this is my first time ever even attempting an RP.)

Bard The 5th LW
11-01-2010, 05:45 PM
Gem would not get my vote for leader. Not in this RP.

Its up to the others, and what do you think they'd say?

Edit: Token is accepted. Just try to not use first person in the RP. In the IC, we will probably use 3rd or 2nd person. I'd prefer 2nd person. And sure, he can live on a communal hive stem. The modus doesn't really have to be a data structure, but there is no problem with Hash. I'm currently going over POS's CS as well.

Derse: 3

Prospit: 4

Edit2: POS is accepted as well. And Token, its still accepted, but I have some suggestions. You may want to bring his age back, as Troll's are recruited into the military when they get older. He can have more interests as well, but writing is not bad. And the Hive is a rather fun piece of detail, feel free to put more into it.

Derse: 4

Prospit: 4

I'm not Vriska, my character is actually pretty different (I'll probably make a sprite of it for my avatar at some point).

And you're right, I won't be the leader. I'll be the one either telling the leader what to do or be the person destroying everybody who doesn't listen (that includes dreamselves).

But I'm just conjecturing here and I might take a totally different stance on interaction with other trolls if it serves me better.

POS Industries
11-01-2010, 06:02 PM

Aldurin
11-01-2010, 06:05 PM
Yes.

That is the safest place from the danger you present.

I'm dangerous, not incompetent to the degree of accidentally putting my teammates in peril.

EDIT: I'm probably gonna be more passive about troll politics than it seems like. At worst I'll manipulate my stock exchange until I'm rich enough to bribe everyone under my command, and even that seems like a bit much.

Screw it, I'll let you guys go about until the imps thin us down to about 3 trolls remaining and then I'll barge in and save the day and then rig a planet in our new universe into an organic death star and destroy anything we don't want.

Bard The 5th LW
11-01-2010, 06:13 PM
I'll probably start things tomorrow. I'll keep sign-ups open though. They'll remain open until the loops is closed.

edit: POS, sorry to say your with Earl. I will only let you change if you can find someone on the other team willing to trade, just because.

Judging by the member comic thread, quite a good one!
Hey, mauve.
If this actually goes somewhere, would you be willing to draw some trolls, for those not artistically inclined enough to draw their own? We'd (or I'd) provide some better descriptions, of course. And love you forever. Of course.

Hey, mauve.
If this actually goes somewhere, would you be willing to draw some trolls, for those not artistically inclined enough to draw their own? We'd (or I'd) provide some better descriptions, of course. And love you forever. Of course.

I'm not much of an artist, but sure! I already drew one for my signup sheet in (appropriately) MSPaint, so I'd be happy to slaughter...er... faithfully draw your guys' characters if you want.

Right so I started reading Homestuck several days ago and I think it can go unsaid that it's the best thing ever (because everyone already knows that it is). I'd love to be a part of this but unfortunately I don't want to hop in without being completely caught up to the story. The good news is that I only have about ~400 pages to go. The great news is that I've been reading several hundred pages per day. So I should be all caught up tomorrow. So basically I'll check back here when I'm caught up with Homestuck (and brush up some more on Troll romance because I just learned about that and it is confusing as all hell) and see if you guys need another player. Now if you'll excuse me I have some more Homestuck to read.

Re-did it. Not in second person, because I'm lame, but this should be an improvement. Changed a couple of things around as well. If it's still bad, let me know.


Name: Tergum Capiti.
Gender: Male.
Age: 6 Solar Sweeps
Appearance: Grey skin, with darker gray marks in the shapes of upside-down question marks. His horns curve down from the side of his head, outlining his chin, almost like a pair of mandibles. His hair is cut short, and he’s somewhat lanky. Black T-shirt with a green pokeball outline.
Lusus: Giant praying mantis.
Trollian Handle: antipathicHopper Typing quirks include replacing L with |_, C with [, O with [], and M with ^^.
Blood: Green.
Hive: He lives in a Lawn Ring, a “neighborhood” with about twenty trolls. His own hive is rather tall, with cylindrical offshoots, and a couple of curved flags, almost like scythes. His Hive and his Strife Specibus were both modeled after his Lusus.
Strife Specibus: Penkind
Title: Reaper of Rage
Dreamself: Derse
Interests: Tergum fancies himself a writer, and easily gets distracted by plot bunnies. His neighbors have, in what may or may not be a subtle attempt at trolling, given him the idea that he is a master of comedy; much in the same way that people might tell Earl that he’s a good person. Because of his self-assumed creativity, he also believes he’s much more hilarious than he actually is, and tries as hard as he can to never repeat an insult. This tendency often comes in handy considering his:
Fetch Modus: Rage Modus. Tergum’s Rage Modus is, appropriately enough, fueled by anger. Because hey, if I’m going to be typecast, I’m gonna do it right. Items can only be called forth from the modus if the user truly despises them, and refers to them in a derogatory or insulting manner. However, it can only hold a maximum of six items at a time.
Additional notes: Tergum is sort of an utter asshole, and finds most other trolls annoying. He went through every troll in his hive when he was looking for a Kismesis, but eventually gave up when no one could match his utter disgust towards everyone and everything. Redrom isn’t really his style. He also has a pathological fear of rats.

Well, I thought we'd get signups done first, then we'd all do our intro posts, then we'd start on the relationships. All we need to see each other's character sheets for is to work out who's had a relationship with whom in the past. And we could even wing that, if it comes to it!
But if we start with the second-person intro posts already, that'd probably discourage the people who're still joining.

But eh, that's just me.

Though your first one wasn't bad! I liked it, it was pretty good. It's just even better now.

Also, how're we gonna make the chatlogs? I like the idea of just having the conversations between our characters happen in real-time, without any (or much) pre-planning. If that happens, would we just use pesterchum? There's no trollian client, so we'd probably have to.

Your name is BALLAA DEHIAN.

You are an avid fan of ILLUSTRATED SERIALIZED PERIODICALS, particularly those involving EXCEPTIONAL HEROIC TROLLS OF VARYING SPECIAL ABILITIES. Your all-time favorite, however, is the NOCTURNAL WINGEDRAT VIGILANTE, who has no extraodinary powers beyond his own WILL, INGENUITY, AND PREPAREDNESS. So much do you look up to this heroic troll that you strive everyday to be just like him, donning a HOMEMADE REPLICA COSTUME and training ever so hard to live up to your idol.

Sadly, you are not very good at it, as your ability to intimidate the SUPERSTITIOUS AND COWARDLY LOT leaves much to be desired, you are absolutely terrible at maintaining a SECRET IDENTITY, and you possess neither the VAST FORTUNE of the Vigilante's superior bloodcaste, the GENIUS INTELLECT, the many years of DISCIPLINED TRAINING, nor a MAJOR METROPOLITAN HIVEBLOCK in which to patrol. To make matters worse, you are of the rare breed of troll capable of braving the light of the HARSH ALTERNIAN SUN, and as a result you don't like to stay up too late otherwise you just feel groggy all day.

Still, the honing of your DETECTIVE SKILLS is coming along nicely and you boast an IMPRESSIVE HEARING ABILITY.

If that happens, would we just use pesterchum? There's no trollian client, so we'd probably have to. You mean that fan-made chat client thingie you guys were talking about a while back? But we'd have to be online at the same time as other people in order to do that, as well as be on a computer that can download persterchum or however it is you access that thing.

That... uh... doesn't always work for me. I do a lot of rp-ing on my lunch break at work, and at home when I get off work at midnight. At work I'm on a computer that can't handle much more than the usual "reply to post" function. I won't even be able to upload and post images from there. And at home, I have like half an hour before work and however long I choose to stay up after work (usually midnight to two or three AM), there's rarely anybody around for me to talk to. So if we end up using that pesterchum thing, I'm afraid I'll be all alone.


I kinda think it'd be better to do the chatlogging like a normal RP, and if you want a full conversation chatlog like in MSPA, do it in PMs or arrange it with the other person beforehand in whatever way you want.

But I dunno.

Your name is SRYNXA SORIDA.

You believe yourself to be a skilled ASSASSIN even though you've only ever assassinated the HORRIBLE BEASTS that live in the LUSH JUNGLE surrounding your HIVE. To be fair they are VERY DANGEROUS but they are also PRETTY DUMB. But you are proud of your kills nonetheless.

Your lusus a huge feathered serpent and is KIND OF UNRULY when it comes to strangers, but insists on DOTING UPON YOU CONSTANTLY. He inhabits the branches of the tree your cylindrical HIVE is build around and hunts the many BEASTS of the forest when he's hungry. He is much BETTER at this than you and often brings you disgusting, partially digested leftovers. He can sort of SPEAK, but only through the use of MIMICRY.

It might be worth mentioning that you are ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY CHILLY ALL OF THE TIME and this is reflected in the fact that you are constantly wearing a SCARF, JACKET AND MITTENS. This more than likely due to the lower than normal temperature of your BLOOD.

Despite your love for killing stuff, you are not at all interested in FLARP or any sort of EXTREME ROLE PLAYING. Instead you spend your free time stuffing the carcasses or reassembling the BONES of your lusus's uneaten kills into MACABRE STATUES that you decorate your hive with, inside and out. This and the fact that you live in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and your VICIOUS LUSUS might explain why you never get any visitors. Not that you mind. You are quite social within your group of friends, even though you only ever talk to them via TROLLIAN.

Your Trolltag is halcyonCoils and you sspeak in a manner that'ss quite proper, but ssort of peppered with the accent you picked up from your lussuss.

Yeah, we're just posting our stuff randomly. Partly also so we can work out who's gonna have a previou relationships with whom.

Also,

Your name is SCALIS LECTOR.

You are Alternia's youngest KEEPER OF TOMES AND ARTIFACTS IN A CENTRALIZED ARCHIVE. This may be because you are currently also the only troll on Alternia to hold such a position. Your hive is the great LIBRARCHIVARY of the troll world, which you inhabit alongside your LUSUS. But you do not like to think about your LUSUS. Your tasks as LITERAPPRENTICE include managing, organizing and restoring COLLECTIONS, maintaining and updating FILES AND CATALOGUES, patrolling the NETHER ARCHIVES for signs of ELDRITCH ABOMINATIONS OUT FOR DESTRUCTION SPRINGING FROM THE FELL DEPTHS OF THE LIBRARCHIVARY, battling DEADLY LITERARANOMALIES, uncovering your hive's DARK AND APOCALYPTIC SECRETS and making sure that SILENCE is maintained at all times within the reading halls.

When you are not engaged in fullfilling your duties, or learning the arts of the great WARCHIVISTS to assist in your survival, you like to READ OBSCURE SCIENTIFIC TEXTS, most of which YOU DOUBT EVEN THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR WOULD UDNERSTAND. You have even contributed to the LIBRARCHIVARY'S extensive collection with your own UTTERLY UNINTELLIGIBLE WRITING on topics such as THE NATURE OF THE NATURE OF LITERATURE; VERY ABSTRACT META-STRATEGY and LIGHTING: A MIRACLE? You are extremely proud of your works.
You usually have difficulty arranging your trains of thought, let alone an entire LIBRARCHIVARY. You live in a place where literally everything exists, yet you are GODAWFUL AT FINDING ANYTHING SPECIFC. When you rearranged your fling system recently, you managed to misfile your RESPITEBLOCK and you have no idea where it is now located. Certainly not under R.
This is a frequent cause for aggravation on your part, though you are a mellow individual otherwise.

Alright here's what I have so far. Let me know if the concept sounds (get it? Nah of course you don't, but you will once you read my CS) alright. Anywho back to hammering out details from my thick head.

EDIT -- changed Appearance slightly and Strife Specibus. Added Lusus, Trolltag, Interests, and Additional Notes. Will create a Hive once I've taken a break.
Edit 2 -- finished everything up. Added a bit more to Appearance.
------

Sign Up Sheet

Name: Reztek Melrue

Gender: Male

Age: 6 Solar Sweeps

Appearance: Reztek has, short black hair that spikes out in all directions in an orderly manner, nicely pointed fangs (but only for his top row of teeth, his bottom row are normal), and two perfectly straight horns that jut out on a slightly sideways and forward angle. He wears standard Troll clothing, that is to say black shoes, dark gray pants, and a black shirt emblazoned with a Royal Blue curvy line that almost resembles a stylized music note.

In other words he looks like this:
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/arcanum_DF/troll-1.png

Lusus: Pretty much a giant snapping turtle, with a few differences. It's back shell is covered in spikes (like a bunch of pyramid shapes with connected bases forming the shell [I tried retyping this several times and that's the best I can describe it right now. I might revise it later]). It also has two perfectly straight tusks jutting upwards on a slight sideways and forward angle. (For reference by "big" I mean a little smaller than a Virgin Mother Grub)

Trollian Handle: Your Trolltag is eloquentOrchestrator And yOu spEak wIth eSsenTial RhyThmiC accEntuAtioN

Blood Color: Royal Blue

Hive: From the outside Rektek's hive looks like a large Dome about 3 stories high. From the inside you wouldn't know it was a dome unless you were in one of the outer rooms. It is a rather large hive, as expected of someone with such exquisite blood.

Strife Specibus: Empty.
Reztek attacks by embellishing a psychic resonance within sound waves, thus turning the sound wave into a physical attack. The strength of the attack depends solely on the volume of the sound, as such musical instruments coupled with amplifiers cause more powerful attacks.

Fetch Modus: Echo Modus: In order to captchalogue an item you must record a sound the item makes on an Echoic Captchalogue Card and to retrieve and item you must repeat that sound. The retrieval sound doesn't need to be exact, but having items with similar Captchalogue Sounds can make it difficult to retrieve what you want.

Title: Conductor of Time

Dreamself: Derse

Interests: Reztek is extremely interested in creating Beautiful Troll Music that would bring tears of Hatred and Pity to every Troll. All of them. He also enjoys partaking in Extreme Role Playing, although only as a Clouder in Flarp. This is due to an almost fetishistic need to create and orchestrate things, be they Extreme Role Playing scenarios or Beautiful Troll Music.

Additional Notes: Reztek is a psychic, but not a very strong one. However has learned that he can enhance the strength of his psychic wavelength by coupling it with sound waves. This also serves as a very effective means of attack, as discussed earlier.

I'll post my intro later when I have the time to actually write my intro, and also because I think it's proper for someone else to start off the chain of trolls.

Alright here's what I have so far. Let me know if the concept sounds (get it? Nah of course you don't, but you will once you read my CS) alright. Anywho back to hammering out details from my thick head.

------

Sign Up Sheet

Name: Reztek Melrue

Gender: Male

Age: 6 Solar Sweeps

Appearance: Reztek has, short black hair that spikes out in all directions in an orderly manner, nicely pointed fangs (but only for his top row of teeth, his bottom row are normal), and two perfectly straight horns (though they do jut out at a slight angle, which tends to annoy him slightly).

Lusus:

Trollian Handle: Your Trolltag is ((still working on it)) and you al-ways | make sure to speak | with e-ssen-tial | rhy-thmic paus-es

Blood Color: Royal Blue

Hive:

Strife Specibus: Soundkind: Attacks by embellishing a psychic resonance within sound waves, thus turning the sound wave into a physical attack. In other words anything that can produce a sound can fall into this Strife Specibus, but the strength of the attack depends solely on the volume of the sound. As such musical instruments coupled with amplifiers make for more powerful weapons.

Fetch Modus: Echo Modus: In order to captchalogue an item you must record a sound the item makes on an Echoic Captchalogue Card and to retrieve and item you must repeat that sound. The retrieval sound doesn't need to be exact, but having items with similar Captchalogue Sounds can make it difficult to retrieve what you want.

Title: Conductor of Time

Dreamself: Derse

Interests:

Additional Notes:

Sounds neat (please don't hurt me). Seems accepted. For Strife Specibus, you can just leave it empty like Sollux, but its OK as it is. First psychic character as well.

I'm trying to decide if I should write my intro now or wait till I get home, where I have my intro picture saved/half-finished on my computer.

Alright I changed some stuff a little bit, added a bunch of other stuff, and the only thing left for me to do is make a Hive. That'll get done later.

Pretty funny how first thing most of us do with the RP is put it off until later.

Woo finally finished my CS. Like I mentioned in my freshly edited Appearance section, I made a sketch of my character and I'll scan it and upload it tomorrow when I have time. Anywho off to bed. Pchooo.

Finally done! It took forever because I couldn't find black and white photos of Emeril Lagasse and Alton Brown, nor could I turn them greyscale in MS Paint. :(

Earl, you may want to give Aldurin a last name. And are you going to give details about the imperial drone thing in the future?

Also, it appears Earl and Overcast have gray text. Not necessarily a problem, but it may get confusing. Can you two work this out?

Right here's my sketch of my troll. The teeth are a little hard to make out (and/or poorly drawn) but whatever.

My text is in fact not gray, though it might be a trouble for the colorblind if they are here, it is lavender. Put em side by side and it is easy to see.

I do feel like these two are going to be in a shitstorm. My character, regardless of any sort of counsel, is going to hate him. Not a passionate kismesis hate either, just a cold wish of death. Combine that with my slight distaste of sharing a horn style and it is already a bad day in the neighborhood.

Good enough.

My horns are supposed to resemble Sonic the Hedgehog's quills, if there was a confusion there. I'll get a sprite up soon so you can see for yourself. I'm not gonna uphold my end of any kismesis, I'll just let it go and move on. Hence the fiasco with the drone.

Aldurin is kinda as far as I can get. I have the most fucking horrendous writer's block with names, I actually pulled that one from one of my future Wesnoth campaign characters. The lack of a last name is both me not wanting to think about names anymore and the concept that my troll thinks somewhat differently and has his own standards. Giving himself a last name was not really something he was up for, and his lusus was in another depression at that point so he didn't complain.

And yes, there will be more to the Imperial Drone incident in the future.

Oh, and Gorrma Caprii will be the only troll who worries me, given the constant talk about finding a recipe so she can eat mountains, which obviously brings concern to a troll living in a mountain, and the fact that her constant devouring of everything brings up worries of personal safety and preservation of technology should they ever meet.

Unsure of potential past and future Matesprit ships, might serve as an Auspitice/Mock-Auspitice, and I don't know if I'll need a Moiralliegence regarding the conquest thing or if I'll prevent someone else from an immoral rampage.

Gorrma pretty much poses that threat to everyone she meets. XD

The librarchivary is a dangerous place. My troll didn't even need to do anything.

Scalis'll be properly introduced next post.


Also, anyone up for past moirailship? I'm thinking one Moirail and maybe one tentative Matesprit would do fine to begin with. Relationships with the other trolls would be fairly neutral so far.
Moirail would probably be bright, outgoing, to balance out his introverted nature. Any candidates?
Matesprit... I dunno. Maybe I'll leave that for the RP itself.

Sry has a fair amount of pep and I guess she's pretty outgoing, even if it's just online, but there's the issue of her having most likely not met any of the other players in person as of yet, unless any of them are particularly intrepid and travelled out to her hive in the past, but that's not my call. :P

Doesn't need to be face-to-face. I doubt many of the homestuck trolls had met IRL and they still loved/hated each other's guts to no end. And re-reading you bio, I guess that could work. They don't have to cancel each other out in every aspect, obviously. So definitely a possiblity. Gimme till tomorrow to decide, I'll PM you.

Try to eat even one library item and you will be smacked about by an enraged orange FLASH OF DOOM.

I made a new discussion thread. (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?p=1085566#post1085566)

Does this mean I'm a true GM now?
