Woop found anotherone. The deal was if @eldritchdraaks made a trollsona i would make an objectHeadSona

This is the updated version of the Heir of Grief animation from CSAU, with the original below.

If Olive, Kaepora, and Ideas nowhere to return to the casket, what would they find? Would Kaepora still be there, blissfully ignorant to the loops? Would all three remain in one body when they enter the simulation, or be rendered seperate, as themselves?

dawg i get what youre talking about but like

You got it! ;P Please accept this sketch i did today as payment

This is a follow up to my previous troll, Viiveh. This is also Viiveh, just some months later.

Planet: Alternia

Name: Vexxin Telore In an effort to abandon his old life, Viiveh took on a new persona. That includes a brand new name, Vexxin. There isn’t anything special about it, he just thinks it sounds cool. It’s based on the idea that if there’s an X in your name it’s automatically cooler. He still kept the last name, but I don’t have a good enough reason for it other than I didn’t want to change it. At the least, He doesn’t give it out.

That’s a really good reason for picking a name, to be fair. It also sounds at least tangentially similar to Vexing, which implies worry or distress, which is part of his motivator for hiding away. 

Age: Nearly 8 sweeps.

Blood color: Hemoanon His real blood is Fuchsia, however due to his appearance most assume he’s Teal or Cerulean. He doesn’t try to correct them.

Sign: Again, no meaning behind his sign, however it’s more excusable since he made it up. It looks somewhat like Tony Stark from the movies.

This coloration would imply that he’s a mutantblood proudly presenting himself. Though I won’t change your accent colors, this would need to change to aid his survivability. 

Trolltag: invalidTechnophobe It’s a clever way to say he’s a technophile.

Maybe inverseTechnophobe instead? Invalid doesn’t imply an opposite state, I think inverse would give the clever subtle indication better.

Quirk: Uses a double backslash and a space as a prefix; Holds the shift key while typing, and uses underscores as a space. Proper punctuation gets replaced with shift variant. Originally the quirk was designed to look like code, but he got lazy having to press shift+underscore after every word, so he just held shift down.

IT:\ ARE_YOU_NUTS?_THIS_ISN"T_HOW_WE_DO_THINGS_AROUND_HERE>_LET"S_ALL_CHILLAX_AND_DO_THIS_PROPERLY<_OKAY?

Maybe when he gets better at coding he can just write a script that does this automatically.

Special Abilities: He has lost the pink coloration of his skin and freckles due to eating far less shrimp on land. His freckles will still glow from bio-luminescence so he keeps them covered up.

Personality: He’s still mentally weak, but has the advantage of no one knowing who he really is now. I forgot to mention before that being a fuchsia means the other blood castes either treat him as nobility or wish for his demise, which isn’t fun. He reaches a breaking point on a trip to land where he was nearly assassinated and didn’t have his manipulative moirail around to protect him. Unable to take it anymore, he ran from his problems, going incognito as Vexxin. He lives alone in a communal hive stem; he couldn’t get the drones to build him a new one without exposing his royalty to others, so he settled for renting. He actually has friends now.

I’m happy he got out and has a chance to develop himself! It is certainly an interesting experience. Does he pretend to be more confident than he is now that he’s here? Like put on an act or play a role? Or is he still fairly open about his personality/nature? Is he working on his self-confidence and his ability to fend for himself? This is just stuff to think about with regards to his current position. 

Interests: His interests are relatively the same. He likes to figure out how things work. Shrimp is still his favorite food but he no longer has an abundance of it to eat. His interest in landdweller tech has grown now that he can get get his hands on it more easily. Sucks at writing code and hacking, but has a fondness for electrical wiring and soldering. 

Outfit: He wears a suit to cover up all his freckles, his gills, and his fins. The clothes he wears over the suit are basically the same as what he used to wear: a tank-top and board shorts. Because he’s walking on land instead of swimming in water he wears steel-toed boots to protect his feet. The headset he wears hides the color of his eyes and more freckles. He thought it was cool as heck to have the digital screen eyes that mimic his real eyes. The piece around the base of his horns keeps the headset on his head, and powers the headset and the cyan lights of his suit and boots. His sign glows through the tank-top.

Responding to questions about Viiveh:  On my Alternia the role of Empress is applied to any fuchsia that rules, regardless of gender; Empress and Heiress are gender neutral.

The thing with liking shrimp and being pink because of it was based on flamingos. If Viiveh had his own lusus instead of sharing Gl'bgolyb, it’d be an aquatic flamingo (see here). 

Viiveh IS actually small and shrimpy, being only 5ft tall.

On my Alternia, some tech, especially the newest kinds, aren’t always water proof. Sometimes it takes awhile to get it ready for underwater use, sometimes it may be impossible without compromising functionality, and if it’s niche it might never make it underwater. Seadwellers are only 1% of the population here.

You were correct, Viiveh would not play sgrub. This is more Hiveswap than Hivebent. However I do have a hypothetical godtier for him, being a Sylph of Hope, Derse dreamer, although I can’t recall the explanation behind it.

All interesting stuff! Hmm... I still feel like doom/prospit might fit him better, but figuring that stuff out can be really intricate and tricky. 

That should be it. If you have any questions just ask, and the blog for Viiveh/Vexxin is @the-cyber-fish.

Design stuff!:

Hair: I tousled it a little more to make up for the lack of tiara. 

Mask: I decide to utilize a blue instead of a brown to lean into the idea that people might assume he’s a cobalt. I also wanted to restrict his color palette just a little in general. 

Symbol: I utilized the same symbol, but made the top part open up a bit more and also added an arrow for a similar reason to the blue. I made it the hemoanonymous color, #636363, for the reasons I discussed above. 

Shoes: I wanted to make it clearer that it was steel-toed boots, so I made the distinction start farther up and also added some notable screws. 

Thanks again for sharing!
