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. 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. 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.
