Trollslum Discussion 1: Stuck in a Black Romance

[Bard The 5th LW]

I accepted Menarker. For all intents and purposes, he is the last troll I will be accepting.

[Intern Nin]

Name: CAOWAY HEMNET

Gender: Male or whatever the stupid alien equivalent is.

Age: Almost 7 sweeps.

Appearance: A stout and surprisingly burley troll with one fish hook shaped horn and one long slightly curved horn. He has yellow eyes, a mess of greenish black hair, and two protruding fangs on his lower jaw like a bulldog. He's always wearing a dark gray fisherman's cap, a gray sweater with an sea green water insignia on it, black jeans, and a pair galoshes.



Lusus: A blind Sea Jaguaren with a mutilated nose and lame back left-flipper affectionately named Beechie. Before it was blinded, the old beast used to do all the fishing for the two of them. Now the task of gathering food falls on Caoway, which is kind of difficult since the damn thing eats half of its body weight a day and is as big as two space SUVs.


Trollian Handle: meloncholicChumly
MC: /j TypeS\ in complete S\entenceS\, with /juS\t a few poleS\ an/) lineS\ thrown in there for the S\ake of beinG\ quirky.

Blood Color: DarkSeaGreen

Hive: A miniscule shanty atop a small secluded cape on an island in an stormy archipelago.

Strife Specibus: Pole-and-line-kind.

Fetch Modus: Tide Modus. Depending on the time of day and the position of the moons and sun, items can be plucked out with ease or have to be fished out.

Title: Sage of Waves

Dreamself: Prospit. Not yet awake.

Interests: Caoway used to love venturing out on to the open seas of Alternia in his dinghy with lusus in tow (or towing him, as the case would sometimes be), traveling to new shores, getting involved in whatever blood-feud that was going on, and picking up EXOTIC ARTIFACTS OF INTEREST from the places he visited. One of his other hobbies was writing SHITTY JOURNALS DETAILING HIS EXPLOITS and showing them to his contacts and anyone else on the Troll internet.

In recent days, he's grown to despise the sea and seems to have lost all passion for life. The only thing keeping him going is the care and upkeep of his lusus.

Additional notes: Had a rival in one Zottic Garefs, another troll who published a more popular series of journals detailing the rat-bastard's adventures in the dark underbelly of Troll high society. Things escalated when Zottic lost all of his credibility and most of his readers after Caoway proved that the journals were nothing more than a work of fiction.

From there it became back forth battle of destroying the journals each of them happen to be working on at the time. That is, until one day,when Zottic retaliated by attacking Caoway in his own hive and mutilating some bit of Caoway's alien physiology that humans have never heard of. Then to add insult and more injury to injury, he tore out the Sea Jaguaren's eyes and ripped up its nostrils with Caoway's own fish hooks.

Zottic then fled and Caoway had just enough time to shout some curses and declarations of vengence upon his hated enemy before the bi-daily tidal wave swallowed Zottic up. The sea had taken away his hated enemy, and chance for vengence along with him, and left him nothing. He is now just half a troll with a crippled lusus and no purpose.

He now only goes out to sea to gather food for him and Beechie, and has all but stopped writing his journals. Hasn't been in contact with anyone in almost half a sweep.

He may need a push to participate in the SGRUB session.

[Menarker]

Here is the Character Sheet, since I've been accepted. ^^

Would be nice if I someone who is more talented in art could come up with a suitable picture for the character, Sharl. Since I suck at art.

Name: SHARL WELATROTTER

Gender: Male

Age: 7 Solar Sweeps (15 years)

Appearance: His very long straight horns sprout from the lower back corners of his skull and grow down and outward until they are just a little more than shoulder length. The angle that the two horns grow out do not prevent him from looking up and around, although they are a painful nuisiance if he falls backwards on them, although they themselves are incredibly resistant to such trauma. They are single layer kinda like the picture of Piron. Not stacked layers like Gorma's "multi-layer cake horns".
Fairly tall with a tiny bit of mass to his otherwise slim frame. Has slightly long black smooth clean hair with an arching curved lock on front of his forehead and 3 straight locks dangling beside both ears.
Ears are small but slightly curved as if built to capture sound.
His average sized eyes are positioned somewhat at a downward angle kinda like \ / (but not this steep), often in a shifty sideway mischevious expression or perverted grin. Color of eye is standard orange.
Slightly long neck, somewhat narrow chin, but not exactly pointed.
Hands are fairly large with slenderish strong fingers, great for grabbing loot!
Teeth are perfectly alligned, the inner teeths being visably sharper than his front teeth.
As for clothing... You got the symbol. Short sleeved shirt that goes half ways with buttons, but he keeps it unbuttoned anyhow. Wears convertible pants with appropriate color scheme.



Lusus: Ayres, a large apeish custodian mostly white and gray. Demands about a quarter of all the things Sharl gathers from his packrat antics as "rent", but otherwise treats Sharl with considerable protection and eagerness to please. The things that Sharl gives him, he then combines to creates into physical abstract art of dubious value which he scatters on their lawn or inside the house.

Trollian Handle: butketHed. Brown Text like his blood. Writes in Comic Sans MS font. Has almost no writing quirks although is prone frequent emotioncons and occassional esciplises... =P


Blood Color: Brown. But he doesn't care about it or anyone's blood color though.

Hive: A huge warehouse style hive with lots of big rooms suited for storing the large amount of stuff Sharl packrats and the weird bits of physical abstract arts his Lusus creates out of said stuff. That and the size of said Lusus kinda requires amply large hallways.

Strife Specibus: Improv Staff-kind! Money-kind!

Improv-Staff kind: Tends to modify his staff with goods he find or use objects as if they were staffs. So, if he finds a broken metal point, he might improvise a spear by attaching it to his staff. If he finds an umbrella, he'll wield it like a staff while using the umbrella cover as a shield! If he finds a huge weight to attach to it, he could make it like a club, morning star or flail.

Money-Kind: Throws enough money at a problem and make it go away or make it friendly! Or blungeon it with the money's weight. (Boonbucks are heavy enough to crush a piggy bank to rumble.)

Fetch Modus: The Bargin Shop Modus. Has a sort of "credit line" where Sharl can take out anything he wants at any time. More valuable items put in the Fetch Modus increase his credit limit, so he can take out lots of minor items or a few big items. But if his credit is low, he'll be unable to pull out items exceeding it without contributing other items to it. Thus, it is in Sharl's interest to packrat as many valuable items and keep it there to keep his credit high so he can take out any valuable item he needs at the time he needs it.

Title: Steward of Prosperity

Dreamself: I don't care which one I join. Go ahead and put me in whichever one you want, although his personality might fit better in Prospit.

Interests: Is a packrat of sort and likes trading things with other people, trying to win "bargins", while making new "friendships" in the process. Although this is also due to his having to give a quarter of all the stuff he gets to his custodian as rent. Has a perchance for "trollish pron" including occasionally wearing a bucket on his head (His horns grow downward, thus he can wear it easily) for laughs and giggles especially when trolling his troll friends. Doesn't like to play FLARP games unless it is a team game and he's teamed with someone else. He's pretty enthuasistic when he is teamed up though.

Additional Notes:

Supreme Salesman's Charisma: The tone of his voice or the odd combination of his personal characteristics somehow make him a very compelling person when he's suggesting a trade or deal to anyone. For some reason or other, anyone capable of understanding what he says or trying to offer has a tendency to accept his deals at more or less face value if they don't have a jarring issue with any of the terms. This is not a magical ability of any sort though.

High physical strength (Personally and Fetch Modus): Enables him to carry absurdably large objects like sofas and pianos in his Fetch Modus without encumberance or risking breaking the items, thus supporting his packrat habits.

Dirty Minded: As can be seen in his Trollian-Handle butketHed, has a tendency to be incredibly open to discussing topics or sharing items or content that would cause severe embarressment or brain-bleach. In other words, he easily thinks and talk about inappropriate topics... Such as wearing a bucket (which counts as something like a obscene sex toy in Troll culture) on his head.


Also, this is his symbol

That was already established the moment you made yourself in charge.

EDIT: Bard . . . typewithme . . . NOW. We are actually active at the same time let's make this flashback pesterlog now.

[Menarker]

BTW, Bard, did you want me to be Derse or Prospit?

[Bard The 5th LW]

Just pick one we'll sort it out later on.

[Menarker]

Sticking with Prospit in the meantime then.
