Trollslum Discussion 3: This is incredibly delirous biznasty!

[Bard The 5th LW]

Not quite a ship, but it'll do.

HOW SCANDALOUS!


Can't unsee it.


Fun Fact: Andrew Hussie himself drew the last two.

To answer some questions that were apparently asked and release a statement or two.

Most characters are in the dark as to the true nature of Sgrub. Aldurin knows only that it requires two players and that Alternia is going to suffer soon.

Also, Lusii will die and be prototyped. HOWEVER, your lusus doesn't strictly have to be prototyped pre-medium. If you can't think of a way to kill it yet, you may prototype something different and have the lusus die later. I may make a special case for some players, like POS, or someone else if you can think up a good enough excuse.

Also, some players haven't really posted much in the RP thread or in the Discussion thread. I'm demanding a role-call. I'm not worried about most of you at all, but I'd at least like a 'here' for consistencies sake.

Also, nice arts Loyal!

Anyways, discuss.

[Dracorion]

I'm totally not here. Like at all.

I mean, I haven't posted in forever ago! So yeah.

[Menarker]

I'm here but waiting for Arhra or for anyone else to get involved with my character.

[Flarecobra]

You know I'm here.

Here are Loyal's pics, just so people won't have to go back to the other thread to look. :P

Actually, next time I make a thread, remind me to include those mentioned pics.

[Arcanum]

I'm still here... sort of. I'll actually be here and back in the game on Tuesday/Wednesday. On the plus side I drew a sketch of my lusus when I stumbled upon some free time, and I plan on making a picture update for when my lusus dies.

[Menarker]

Would love to have Loyal make a picture for my character, if he's inclined to.

[Geminex]

I'd just like to reinforce what bard said before:
Describe your characters' appearance, people!

Homestuck is visual in nature. We can't recreate that. But we can at least try to add visual elements. Either by sketches, or by vivid description of our characters!

And you're all perfectly capable of doing the latter.
So spend half an hour! Show our mind's eye exactly what your character should look like. It'll make the RP better for everyone!

Besides, you might regret it if you don't.
No, I won't do anything. That'd be stupid. But the less of a description your character has, the less incentive an artist will have to sketch them. Like yours, Menarker. You want Sharl drawn, but you really only describe his horns in any detail. Loyal really doesn't have any way of knowing what he looks like, no description to get inspired by.

So really, if you want your character drawn, or want to prove that you're a good role-player, or want the Drone to not come after your character...
Well, you know what to do.

[Dracorion]

Fuck you, you already have a picture of my character.

[Loyal]

You forgot to include links to character CS'es in this thread as well.

And yeah, what Gem said. Be as descriptive as possible! Some descriptions are terribly vague, and about a third of you don't even have shirt-symbols. And a couple of you who do have symbols aren't entirely clear about it, double check that. I'd be happy to draw stuff since it's far more likely to get done than my personal projects, but yeah.

Yes, the symbols are SEEREUSS BIZNESS. You do not get to be a special snowflake about not having one if you want a drawing.(Except Bard, whose symbol is, in fact, a snowflake.) Symbol exclusion is nearly as great a crime to Homestuckkind as troll-names that aren't six letters long! ò_O

As for you, Drac, I have no idea how I would hypothetically render your symbol anyway. You are safe from nothing!
