Your name is Sonofa Bitchh and your live’s purpose its to be a nuisance to everyone around you. 

Urban Dictionary isn’t exactly a reputable source for name meanings, but I do think it’s…. a hilarious idea to name her that. SO I’ll go with that one, but you have to like, roll with that theme. You gotta make her Involved In A Plot For World Domination. 

For the last name, I might pick…. Kaycel, as a reference to KCl- Potassium Chloride. It’s the colorant that gives fireworkers their violety color! It references her love for Fireworks/explosives/bright lightthings obviously. Species: Troll Gender: Transgender Female Age: 7 sweeps Derse or Prospit?: Derse Strife Specibus: megaphonekind 

Does she just Yell to hurt people or whack people with the megaphone? I think you could also go with like boommickind, bc you know. 

Or flaregunkin because it’s kind of like a firework.

Land: The Land of Radiance and Dreams (LoRaD) Title: Witch of Light

Now this is where I think the Plot For World Domination thing can come in, because I kind of want to make her a Rogue of Light instead? So she redistributes the attention, takes all the focus, moves information around subtly while also directing fortune. 

Blood color: Violet

Symbol: Aquapia (Sign of the Eccentric)  Lusus: A gigantic 3-headed serpent 

To make things a little more glowy and watery, how about a giant 3-headed snake-like Praya Dubia. One of those glowy siphonophores. They entrap pray with their lights and I think that’s very fitting.

Trolltag: vibrantShowtime

Vibrant is a nice word but it doesn’t have the… the energetic FEELING I’m imagining here. You need something a lil sillier… maybe dynamitetamicShowstopper. 

dynamitetamic being a dynamite + dynamic mashup and Showstopper indicating something So Incredible it stops the show with audience applause.

Quirk: She uses ‘kaomojis’ or Eastern Alternian emoticons to express herself, as if she’s talking in a speech bubble.  Ex: (☆^O^☆) <(WHO’S READY TO FUCKING ROCK?!?!?!) Personality: This fine troll’s name is Vianka Ongaka, she has an affinity for using fireworks at her shows to ‘enlighten’ the audience.. literally. She really likes saying lyrics to several sweeps old pop songs such as ‘Cull Young’ and ‘Alternia Girls’, for example. She strives to become one of Alternia’s best pop singers so she can finally spread her beliefs through the sheer strength of her sick tunes. Ever since failing to dye her hair and instead bleaching it by pure accident, she strives to try and take down the capital and change the world for the better or worse, Vianka is what most would call a ‘chaotic neutral’ as she would usually be extremely dangerous in her concerts (usually 3-5 casualties a show) as she would literally try to show the world her colors.

I don’t understand why the hair dye would Lead to this striving and I think it should probably be the other way around. She’s a rebel, so she dyes her hair. It is in part to make herself really unique, to draw the eye to her. She wants attention and standing out is a Good way to get it. She could be trying to spread and disperse information (as a rogue would) while also drawing all eyes to her so rebel friends she has behind the scenes can do work without anyone noticing. Spreading her world domination propaganda subtly while some rebellion goes on In The Shadows. After all, a violet is high enough up that she can get away with saying Anything. Literally Anything At All. Privilege is a powerful tool… 

You definitely wanna think about her motive, though, because you haven’t made it clear here. You just say she wants to change it ‘for better or worse’. What is she trying to achieve? Does she want to be the New Leader or does she want to propr others up and doesn’t think about the policy stuff? Is she just here for chaos and doesn’t care how it ends?  Likes: Neon colors, fireworks, straight up murder Dislikes: Cancelled performances, someone else stealing her spotlight,  Voice Headcanon: Pearl from Off the Hook if she spoke English 

Design time:

So, her design was a Little visually busy, so I tried to neaten it up in some ways while retaining the feeling. As I usually do, I did a lot of outline edits on the outfit/shoes itself to make it stand out more. I also changed the highlight in the jewelry to white to make it look shinier. 

Hair/horns: I edited that one dangly hair to get it out of the face because it was a little distracting, if she wants attention and spotlight she should want her face to be visible and unobscured! I also edited her hairband to be a bit more complete. I made both horns go behind it, because the horn just going Through the hairband looks funny. I also made the piercings a more violety purple to fit a color scheme. 

Face: I got rid of the eyebrows because as I said her face was already a lil busy looking.I upped the eyemakeup to make up for it. Her mouth was too much like Vriska’s, so I adjusted the mouth shape. 

Outfit: As I said before, lots of little outline tweaks for better contrast. I also changed the squares to just one light purple color because all the varying colors was a liiittle too much, I definitely got what you were going for but Homestuck sprites like to keep their base outfits relatively simple. 

@twilightseaprisoner

This character is really fun, but is a little… thematically confused, we’ll say. We’ve got reddit, hipsters?, the dark carnival, mystery skulls, giant wolves, mutation, godzilla, albino gorillas, heathers references… Nothing wrong with any of these separately, but when trying to create a coherent character it’s a little overwhelming. I think I want to take two Core ideas- specifically Mystery Skulls and Godzilla, oddly enough, and roll with those.

Now, the theme of Mystery Skulls (the animations and not the songs on their own, at least) is that Lewis was killed and comes back as a vengeance-bent ghost, and Godzilla is obviously about nuclear radiation and mutation (in a very specific cultural context, but I think Godzilla has been divorced from that context for enough years that I can leave it at that for this review). 

I thiiink, the way this should go for your character’s background/theme could be that she and her lusus live by the weird alternian equivalent of a defunct nuclear power plant, and she gets killed by someone- maybe a friend, it’s up to you- and she gets dumped in the water and Oh She’s A Zombie Mutant Ghost Thing Now. And She’s Out For Revenge. With a story like this, we can even keep the chainsaw/Heather Chandler joke since she got Very Murdered by her friend (welll, J.D. did it, but Details) and in the musical at least she ghost-bothered Veronica for the rest of the play. 

Name: Tanyya Cherep - It’s fucking ‘Mystery Skulls’ in Russian. 

It’s a very google translate version, but yep. However, Tanya is a human name, so it looks a little funny as a troll name… Maybe we could do Venyye instead? It also comes from the word mystery, so it won’t ruin the joke. Venyye Cherep.  Species: Troll Gender: Female Age: 8 sweeps Derse or Prospit?: Derse Strife Specibus: chainsawkind Land: The Land of Hourglasses and Stars (LoHaS)

I can see where this comes from with the time theme, but I think I want to draw in her character a bit more… Maybe the Land of Lithium Chloride and Midnight. 

Lithium Chloride is used as a flame colorant to make flames this color: 

And pink flames are obviously a big theme in Mystery Skulls Animated. Aaand Midnight is a suggestion specifically as a reference to the Doomsday Clock. 

Title: Seer of Time

I don’t know quite how Seer she reads to me… I might call her a Thief of Time, really.

Blood color: Purple

Symbol: The dick sign (Sign of the Bold) Lusus: A gigantic mutated wolf, a gigantic mutated crocodile that is the size of a football field that could kick the SHIT out of Godzilla against me and my best friend George who is a rare albino gorilla and let me tell you something right now, me and George? We get our asses kicked and I don’t want to ruin it for you guys but Jesus Christ but we don’t quit. 

I have to be honest with you I don’t know what I just read. I’m very lost. What is happening. LOL. That said I think just making her lusus godzilla works. Godzilla can breathe underwater and is said to be the midpoint between aquatic and terrestrial lizards, so that works well for a purple. Used to be a normal humble lizard and then the power plant leaked into the water and Oops. Big.

Trolltag: dimensionalHatred

Dimensional calls up like, space imagery, so I don’t know how well it works for a time char! Maybe everlastingHatred instead? 

Quirk: >talks in lowercase and in the style of greentexts you can find on 4chan >mfw this quirk is a ripoff of kuprum’s >goddammit.gif Personality: Tanyya is a rather hateful troll who was a member of the Dark Carnival for nearly her entire life, although with her almost purely neutral evil persona she’s actually a pretty nice guy… kinda, she’s a huge dick to those she dislikes and would usually mess with them by stepping on their feet and pulling on their hair. She also has an insanely large temper with a fuse that may already be lit, and when I say temper? I mean it as in a ticking time bomb. When someone actually befriends her, she enjoys cooking and talking to them like anybody would.. even though she seems to be a bit introverted, she could talk about specific interests for hours. 

The temper is fun, because it’s definitely a lot like a Purpleblood, and it fits the doomsday countdown/nuclear theme that I’ve put in her background too.  Likes: Eating live grubs (especially indigobloods), beating the shit out of other trolls with her chainsaw, Grape Faygo   Dislikes: Troll Naruto, kung pow penis, living off of other trolls’ misfortune just so she could ignore her ever growing depressive state  Ma’am do NOT eat live grubs that’s terrible. Voice Headcanon: Undyne Outfits: - Normal - Derse Outfit  - #HipsterBullshit - God Tier - God Fear (basically Crockertier but pink) - Bloody Stream Quadrants: <3 -  <> - The Tumblr troll my friend trash-v is making  o8< -  <3< -  - anime is banned - she finessed your bitch (ay) - she’ll fuck you softly with a chainsaw

“finessed your b” ?!? you didn’t say she was a charmer and lover-stealer anywhere, lol. Also the phrase “fuck me gently with a chainsaw” is an expression of Disbelief at something being impossible or ridiculous I know it’s a goof but Heathers is one of my special interests and I have to clear that up. 

Design time: 

Not too many changes! I edited some colors and outlines to make things read better. I didn’t know if there was a reason for the pink and green accents, so I left them be, but if there isn’t a reason they should be taken off. 

Mostly I edited her face to make the paint bits weird glowy pink scars instead. Because she’s a Dead Radiation Zombie now, and it is of course a reference to Lewis from Mystery Skulls. 

Thanks for sharing and I hope this review helped!
