@hibloodmemelord

I’m gonna be real with you, you didn’t give us much to work with. But I’m going to do what I can! If we want to make him different from Karkat, our best goal is trying to steer away from the necessary crab themeatics and giving him a particular focus. So let’s see…

You describe him as someone secluded. This is directly counter to what lime-range characters tend towards, which is interesting. This could probably be the result of fear. He wants friends, but he’s scared of the consequences of this. He could be a pessimist, afraid of the world outside by frustrated by being kept in. 

Maybe as a grub, he managed to accidentally escape through a crack in the brooding caverns? And he managed to survive but it was really hard-knock life for him. And he learned that being a mutant red was frowned upon really young. Maybe by being attacked by a higher troll? 

He lives alone in a dugout of his own making and tries to survive. Makes pals online, but is really, really protective of his identity.  

Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why): Suprae Asscan. It was a joke about asscan so i changed super to suprae and it just kinda stuck

Maybe Deimos Aegere instead? Deimos being the deity of fear and dread while facing a deadly circumstance and Aegere from Agoraphobia, or the fear of being around people. 

Age: 7 sweeps.

Strife Specibus:2XClawKind (basically like punching gloves but with crab claws.)

Grasperkind. 

One of these, because they meet what you want to do while also symbolically showing him holding people at a distance.

Fetch Modus: honestly have no idea

Maybe a solitaire thing since he’s relatively secluded and that’s a stereotype of aloneness? His items are split into various cards and he has to complete the set to take them out. Gets harder the more items are in there.

Blood color: Red mutant

Symbol and meaning:Cancen, sign of the Nexus

I’m going to change this to Caniborn, but I’ll explain that later. 

Trolltag: i dont know which to choose but i have ultrachaoticCrustacean [UC] and fuckingUltimatum [FU]

Maybe ultrachaoticAnchorite [UA] instead? It implies the hermit nature but still keeps the edgy fun of Ultrachaotic.

Quirk: –C Speaks in a krab-like fashion. –C

I like the snippy claws, so this can stay.

Special Abilities (if any):None

He might have a gentle pacifying nature, but it doesn’t have to be strong.

Lusus: Giant Horseshoe crab.

Let’s just say he’s got no lusus. Maybe he managed to live and scavenge with a couple animals? But no actual entity that raised him.

Personality: Really secluded, so he doesnt really know how to act around other trolls. Hes an asshole, but he doesnt go out of his way to seek people out to be an asshole to. He just doesnt really like interaction with anyone. (i dont really like this that much so uh yeah)

Let’s beef this up a little! He’s a decent person and thinks people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Society inherently goes against this, though. People don’t respect each other or treat them kindly and it exhausts him. The system is inherently flawed and he wants to change it. But he’s scared of the outside. Scared of what could happen. Terrified of what could be. So he wants change, he wants to change things, he wants to burn it all down and build it back beautiful and free and fair, but he’s just… sitting on all that desire and is locked behind fear. 

Interests: i dont know right now

Interests are usually where people like to start with a character 0_0. Uhh let’s see. We could make him interested in really chaotic music. Maybe he likes cave art and survivalist stuff. Maybe you could give him a little interest in revolutions and martial weaponry. You can make him interested in romance movies too, though. Maybe make him like corny romance novels that he manages to scavenge from the trash while heading through towns. Maybe he could be interested in stuff like hiking? Makes a habit of travelling. Maybe some roleplay, too, to cope with Loneliness. 

Title: Rouge of blood

I think he needs to be a Page of Rage. Someone who is really surrounded by and bogged down by these feelings of fear and pessimism and not feeling like he has any options, feeling limited and scared… And then eventually developing into someone who can turn that fear back around on others and pursue the destruction of all that is wrong and the rebuilding of a better world.

Land: Land of rainbows and kittens.

Land of Holes and Crowds, a land spotted with seemingly bottomless pits and dark shadowy figures that follow and crowd around wherever he goes.

Dream Planet:derse

oh and also hes alternian

please help me make him less of a karkat ripoff thats kinda what he seems like atm thanks :D

I hope I helped make him a little more independent! Now onto design:

Now… I don’t know what that image you submitted went through, but it was so blurred when you zoomed in that it was easier to build him from the ground up than to try to save it. That’s fine, since I needed to give him some major touch-ups!

Horns: These are pretty much the one thing I kept around. I liked them, and the fit the symbol I had chosen, but I just needed to reduce their size a little. 

Hair: I liked the general gist you had, but decided to make it more scraggly and unkempt. 

Eyes: I tried to recapture what you had, but they’re a little more tilted up! I got rid of the red undereye bags because that doesn’t happen naturally, Equius has those because he gave himself two black eyes. 

Glasses: If you want to set two Homestuck characters apart design-wise, glasses are always a brilliant idea. I made them cracked, though, because he’s probably had them for a while and, possibly, stole them. 

Mouth: A Frown, complete with a little scar. 

Jacket: I took it from fan-troll, which is where I think you got your original version, too! I made it black, though, and added a light grey t-shirt underneath. 

Symbol: I made it hemo-anon. 

Shorts: Also from fan-troll, I wanted something really torn and tattered and worn. 

Shoes: They’re John’s! Just to keep it simple and like something he might’ve scrounged up from a dump. 

Thank you for sharing. He is officially Not Karkat.
