Hello again! This has to be one of the more focused trolls that iāve made but they need a few tweaks.
Name: Belino: This is a shortening of the name Bellino wich is a Diminutive ofĀ Bello. Bello is a short form ofĀ JacobelloĀ or other names ending inĀ bello. It is also associated with the Italian word meaning ābeautiful, handsomeā.
Tarani: A short form of the word Taranis which derived from CelticĀ taranĀ meaning āthunderā. This was the name of the Gaulish thunder god, who was often identified with the Roman godĀ Jupiter.
Beautiful Thunder. I love that jhbhjbg. I think we a name like Beautiful Thunder you should definitely play up like⦠a News Show host angle. Not too strongly but since heās such an information seeker And his name involves beauty he should be at least Some kind of personality. If heās a prince of void, heād want to destroy obscurity, so heād care a lot about transparency and visibility. King Of Free Webshows Uncovering the TRUTH. Raining secrets down like hail. Powerful.
Strife specibus: I have his as a hockey stick but iāve been debating on changing it
What about like⦠a little microphone. Or he could use a camera flash as a weapon! Or a flashlight in general.Ā
Fetch Modus: Description: The Description Modus is a fairly simple modus. By default everything is laid out as āarrayā and any item can be accessed⦠but with a catch. You cannot refer to it by name - only by a description. The more precise you are, the likelier youāll get the item. If you had bananas, apples, and oranges in your inventory but only described it as āfruitā, all of your fruit will be retrieved from the captchalogue. If you described 'yellow fruit that vaguely resembles a fingerā, then your bananas will be retrieved. You can control how many come out by simply describing it as being one, however, which is a useful addition.
Another fun one could be him having to recite trivia or scandals around the object, or having to make up sensational stories about it without directly saying the name.Ā
Trolltag: grandisonantConcision
Symbol: A bit like tereziās symbol but the bump broke the first line.
I like it because it looks both like a sunrise and like a little man trying to get attention.
Blood: Teal, but i think it might be a bit bright.
Definitely a little, but weāll work on that.
Quirk: Though i am not very good with quirks, He talks s\o/mwhat like this.
You write him as someone pretty blunt, so maybe he could use a lot of periods. Lots of stops. Heās getting to the point. He is choppy. Quick. Since he does research, you could have him add conversational footnotes/sources, too.Ā
Ex: Every\o/ne kn\o/ws grubl\o/af has been made \o/f beefgrub since the Grub Ref\o/rm twenty sweeps ag\o/.Ā
S\o/urce: Check y\o/ur regi\o/nal grublaw statutes, d\oo/fus.
Special abilities: Well he can write a tabloid in under an hour.
Lusus: I have not decided yet but it was a very weasel-y kind of animal, that or a weasel-fox kind of thing.
Weasel-fox is a good idea, though I wonder if like, a weaselgrub or something might be good. I say this only because one of the only magazines we see in-universe is called the Game Grub and itād be fun to expand that into a bigger joke. Are all journals called grubs? If you want! Gossip Grubā¦.
Personality: Belino is a kind of person who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Though he can get kind of carried away sometimes, much to the detriment of his friends. I think Jaguar from Space Channel 5 is the character that would fit him best. The quote I remember went something like āYou are an enemy to the truth and all that is good!ā
[Gale Weathers voice] Tell me Kenny, has a cheesy tabloid journalist ever won a Pulitzer?
Jokes aside, Gale Weathers might be a good reference to look at for how to write this kind of character. Sheās really dedicated and will do anything for her story, no matter what other people think about her. Hardworking and dedicated, but a little True Neutral on the morality scale.Ā
I like the idea of a character like this who⦠teals are said to have really strict moral codes, so him valuing truth above literally all else is a Great set of convictions for him to have and to always intensely seek.Ā
Interests: He always wanted to be a reporter, the thrill of getting the next scoop always captivated him. Other than that, he does enjoy a bit of research to back up his claims as well.
Does he do undercover research? Is his area of focus like, government scandals or actual cheesy tabloid things? Does he like celebrity drama or Hardhitting news? Does he do undercover investigation or does he do direct interviews? Important things to consider for character building!
Land: Land of Abyss and Vaults
I agree with all of the above!
Sorry again for not having a transparent background, my computerās still acting up ;_;. There were only minor edits anyways.Ā
I brought his bangs forward over the glasses, because they looked awkward behind them. I also fixed the blood color to be canonical!Ā
And as for glasses/eyes, it was a little too obvious that you borrowed from Eridan, so I edited the glasses shape and eye/eyebag shapes just slightly to try to move away from that.Ā
