<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version and adding tf2 trivia</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}'''Calder Kerian''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|calder|grandioseSaturation}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Iron and his horns are pointed upwards and towards each other, with the right one resembling the light of an angler fish.  <br /> <br /> Calder is based off of the &quot;Disrespected Royalty&quot; fantroll archetype.<br /> <br /> Despite appearing as such, his blood is not the fuchsia blood of the designated ruling class of trolls. It is a similar, but ultimately distinct shade of Magenta.<br /> <br /> He was the ninth troll introduced and the third troll introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]], however he made several appearances throughout [[Vast Error: Act 1|Act 1]]. He was the eleventh troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The name Calder means &quot;rocky waters&quot; in Celtic. The name Kerian is another variant of the name ''Kyrian'', coming from the Greek ''kyrie'', meaning &quot;Lord&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Four Passes ===<br /> Calder seemed to once be a rather shy boy, not speaking much to others in this stage of his life. His features are notably much less sharp at this age, having a more concerned expression rather than the sharp glares and pompous demeanor that have become a staple of his older self. Additionally, he seemed much more wary to make trouble, as young [[Murrit Turkin]] noted that he wouldn't help the children escape their sleeping quarters to go play. <br /> <br /> === Six Sweeps ===<br /> In his younger years, Calder was friends with Laivan and Arcjec and used to be involved in their light-hearted pretend games. Additionally, he was in a kismessitude with [[Serpaz Helilo]], and in a moiraillegence with [[Occeus Coliad]]. All of these relationships have been abandoned or ended for reasons unknown. It is mentioned that Occeus left Calder, leaving him rather bitter about their time together.<br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> Calder's introduction is full of foreshadowing and parallels as the first full sight of him is with Calder positioned right on his ancestor's throne, wine in hand. He sits while idly musing if his teammates know what exactly they're getting into- And that soon enough, they will, as his collusions become clearer later on in the comic. <br /> <br /> Shortly after his introduction, Calder proceeded to the Grand Fairway to play golf when he's suddenly messaged by his former [[Occeus Coliad|moirail]], demanding an explanation of his involvement in [[The Game]], to which he replies that he had nothing to do with it and both of them are completely powerless in the situation. He abruptly ends the conversation with Occeus and continues playing golf.<br /> <br /> Afterwards, him and [[Ellsee Raines]] come into contact, forging a tense alliance to better navigate the game, though Calder's intentions are far more selfish than the agreement would let on.<br /> <br /> Calder's first appearance in his land is shown in {{VE|1000|&lt;nowiki&gt;[S] Ellsee: Enter&lt;/nowiki&gt;}}. He stands in murky waters, greeted by his swan consorts.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> <br /> The structure of the land itself seems to have a similar landscape to Venice, Italy with most buildings waterlocked and the only reliable method of transportation being swan-led boats. The buildings themselves seem to have historical inspirations, with one specifically adorned with stone pillars reminiscent of Rome. The human parallels come to a head as the portrait of a previous void player- a {{VE|2210|human woman}}, much to Calder's dismay- is shown within one of the buildings, being the gateway further down into the world. <br /> <br /> After a tense confrontation with Arcjec, Calder is revealed to be working alongside [[Edolon Vryche]]{{VE|2222}}.<br /> <br /> == Personality and Traits ==<br /> Initially, Calder appears to be a very self-important troll with a superiority complex and a strongly-implied dislike of women. He is very aware of the social and environmental decline of [[Repiton]], and is such very politically-minded, to the point of cynicism and humorlessness. He is particularly focused on proper conduct and presenting himself as a proper sea-dweller to establish superiority. He persistently projects these ideals onto [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]], who had once been his picture of what a proper sea-dweller should be like. Furthermore, he sees friendships and connections to be purely transactional in nature.<br /> <br /> Being the descendant of [[Ancestors|the troll that decimated the sea dweller population out of jealousy]], Calder is considered a social pariah by association. He feels an immense obligation to do his part to undo the damage done by his ancestor's atrocities and help reestablish order. As such, Calder obsessed with the continued existence of the sea dwelling trolls, and in becoming a leading force on Repiton. He works to increase his influence by publishing the politically-charged and intentionally morally-provocative Sideline magazine, but he hasn't been personally involved in its production in some time.<br /> <br /> Calder has a long list of strained and bitterly-ended relationships, quadrant relationships or otherwise. Judging from the old portraits of these old friends and loved ones on the walls of his hive, and the bitterness he shows when reflecting on these past relationships, Calder is unable to move on from any of it.<br /> <br /> Judging by his previous interactions with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] and [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]], and his involvement in their games, Calder may have been less uptight in his youth. <br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> === Murrit Turkin ===<br /> [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] does not like Calder at all. Murrit makes a huge point of annoying or ignoring Calder whenever possible, even basing his persistent &quot;love&quot; of hentai to mock his male-centric ideals and hoity toity attitude. Calder is frustrated with Murrit's refusal to behave like a proper sea dweller, and regularly tries to boss Murrit around. Calder at one point deeply respected Murrit, back when he acted more in line with the expectations of a sea-dweller, and Calder tries to make Murrit behave in his old manner, to no avail.<br /> === Occeus Coliad ===<br /> It has been shown that Calder and [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] have had a, now-ended, pale relationship with one another. Currently, their relationship is very tense and strained. Calder shows a lot of bitterness towards Occeus, and is visibly upset when Occeus tries to contact him. From Calder's perspective, it appears that Occeus had at some point abruptly ended their moiraillegence. Calder still keeps old pictures of Occeus on the walls of his hive.<br /> <br /> === Serpaz Helilo ===<br /> Calder and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] were previously in a kismessitude. Prior to the end of their relationship, she used to push Calder to try new hobbies to get out of his own head. Calder still keeps pictures of Serpaz on the walls of his hive, as well as the model ship she had him make.<br /> <br /> === Arcjec Voorat ===<br /> Calder and [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] were once friends in their youth, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Even as Arcjec attempted to reach out, his advances were swiftly rejected, suggesting some lingering bad blood on Calder's end.<br /> <br /> === Laivan Ferroo ===<br /> Similarly, Calder was once friends with [[Laivan Ferroo]].<br /> <br /> === Ellsee Raines ===<br /> Calder is generally dismissive and disrespectful towards [[Ellsee]], as he is with most of the female cast of Vast Error. He constantly talks down to her and treats her like an incompetent stooge, unwilling to let her prove otherwise. His dislike for Ellsee may be related to his similar dislike of their red lover, Occeus.<br /> <br /> Ellsee simply sees him as a chauvinistic prick, but isn't petty enough to leave him out of the loop when she has important, life-saving information.<br /> <br /> In the Pre-Game, the two had reached into an agreement with Ellsee providing any means of information that can help them win the Game and in exchange, Calder will make sure that Ellsee is included and wanted in any situation the trolls are in.<br /> <br /> === Sestro Enthal &amp; Secily Iopara ===<br /> At the beginning of [[Snowbound Blood: A Vast Error Story|Snowbound Blood]] [[Snowbound Blood: Volume One|Volume 1]], Calder is ranting to [[Sestro Enthal|Sestro]] over the phone about late shipments, causing Sestro to signal [[Secily Iopara|Secily]] to shoot the window as an excuse to get off the phone.<br /> <br /> In Occeus's route, Secily quickly recognizes grandioseSaturation as Calder from his Skorpe conversations with Occeus.<br /> <br /> In her thoughts, Secily expresses surprise at the fact that Calder is not a part of her provided suspect list.<br /> <br /> === Edolon Vryche ===<br /> [[Edolon]] and Calder, at the time of writing, appear to have a secretive alliance brewing behind the scenes. Calder appears to have full knowledge of- and very little care for- the events of [S] Incursion, and merely remarks that the coup d'etat could have had more 'class' in regards to the execution. <br /> <br /> As Calder seems to view friendships as mere transactions more than anyone, he seems to be putting this alliance above the lives of the people he once called friends in exchange for power and recognition that he believes he deserves. <br /> <br /> On the other hand, Edolon gains inside knowledge to the events of the game, and through Calder can attempt to manipulate events as he pleases. Time will tell if this alliance will continue to be mutually beneficial.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Calder is somewhat similar to [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Equius_Zahhak Equius Zahhak], [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Eridan_Ampora Eridan Ampora] and [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Cronus_Ampora Cronus Ampora] of ''[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck Homestuck]''. Like Equius and Eridan, Calder is a highblood who is obsessed with the pecking order and ruling over the lower castes.<br /> ** Like Equius, Calder often concerns himself on whether other people are acting properly within their caste.<br /> ** Like Cronus, Calder picked up a supposed vice to add to a certain image, but ultimately misses the point of actually partaking in that vice. Calder likes to hold and swirl wine but despises the taste, whereas Cronus started &quot;''smoking'' cigarettes&quot; (actually pieces of his old wands that he sticks in his mouth), but never actually lights them since he feels like it would be a waste.<br /> * Calder is a Violetblood, a Derse dreamer, and a Hero of Void, meaning on Alternia his sign would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Aquittarius Aquittarius, Sign of the Enigma.]<br /> * Calder's [[Skorpe]] handle is 'grandioseSaturation'<br /> ** Grandiose is a word that means &quot;impressive and imposing in appearance or style, especially pretentiously so.&quot; or &quot;excessively grand or ambitious.&quot; The word is often used to describe patients with NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), as the word is used in the first criteria point of the disorder. &quot;[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK556001/ A grandiose sense of self importance.&quot;] <br /> ** The word saturation means &quot;the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed&quot;.<br /> * Calder appears to be loosely based on a number of chauvinistic, misogynistic and bigoted male archetypes and tropes, and is most frequently associated with the Men's Rights Activists group when discussed.<br /> * Calder has an admiration for Winston Churchill. On Repiton, instead of being a famed military leader, Troll Churchill was instead a yellowblood alchemist, who learned the secret of transmuting gold and went on to turn his own skin into gold. However he accomplished this just shortly before gold rendered obsolete on Repiton, which left Troll Churchill to live in pain and misery before his death, as he was unable to change himself back to normal.<br /> *Calder runs a Filler account under the username Sideline for his magazine of the same name.<br /> *Calder's [[lusus]] resembles a female anglerfish. This seems to be an exception to the trend of charges having the same gender as their lusus.<br /> *In [[Snowbound Blood]], he is described as having a &quot;sandpaper-harsh, salty voice&quot; during a phone call with [[Sestro Enthal]] in Chapter 1.<br /> *Calder finds replacing lightbulbs annoying.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=28 Dec, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217035919/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Calder would main [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spy Spy] and use the weapons [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Cloak_and_Dagger Cloak and Dagger] and [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Your_Eternal_Reward Your Eternal Reward] on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Fortress_2 Team Fortress 2].&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=1 Apr, 2024|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217015836/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111604296377617919}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Calder lands as a cat on the cat-to-dog spectrum.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=19 Dec, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217015836/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111604296377617919}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery position=&quot;center&quot; widths=&quot;185&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Calder aight mrs fritz im boutta head out.png|Calder, pre-game.<br /> File:Calder about to enter.png|Calder, about to enter The Game.<br /> File:Misogyny.png|Calder, disgusted as he observes a painting of a human woman.<br /> File:4 Pass Calder.jpg|Calder at 4 passes old, during his time in the Kindergarten.<br /> File:Young calder lucky luciano.png|Young Calder, as seen in the mirror during Calder's entry.<br /> File:Calder Pureself.png|[[Pure Self]] Calder from an [[Known_Probabilities#Alt.21Murrit:_FAST-FORWARD.|alternate probability]].<br /> File:Calder filler account.jpg|Calder's Filler account.<br /> File:TD Calder.png|Calder's trollodex card.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{ref}}<br /> <br /> {{Navbox Vast Error Characters}}<br /> {{Navbox Trolls}}<br /> [[Category:Vast Error characters]]<br /> [[Category:Trolls]]</div>

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Murrit Turkin''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|murrit|unclaspedKahuna}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Lead, and she is a deconstruction of the &quot;incomprehensible character mess&quot; fantroll archetype.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> They were the fifth troll introduced and the fourth player to enter the game. As a Time player, it was part of his initial duty to kick-start [[The Game]]'s entry process and make sure all of his fellow players were ready to join, along with the session's [[Laivan Ferroo|Space player]].<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The surname Turkin could be a reference to [[wikipedia:Valentin Turkin|Valentin Turkin (1887-1958)]], a Russian screenwriter and critic. This can be loosely related to Murrit's general interest in pop culture and propensity to record her friends' daily lives.<br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> ===Early Life===<br /> During their time in school, Murrit was a part of the seadweller-specific classes, which put them under the designation of &quot;honor student&quot;. Despite this, he was a notable troublemaker, frequently targeting [[Dismas Mersiv]] with his various antics. He silently tailed Dismas and [[Albion Shukra]] in their mission to get [[Jentha Briati]] out of her mould, convincing the three to let him join them in the yard. After Murrit shoved Dismas off a piece of playground equipment, Jentha was greatly upset, causing her to have a survival ability meltdown, which resulted in the death of many students and staff at the school, as well as the disappearance and presumed death of Dismas.<br /> <br /> Murrit proceeded to take full blame for the incident and was expelled by [[The Principal|the Principal]]. They journeyed in exile until eventually finding a tropical island to settle down on.<br /> <br /> For a time following their expulsion, Murrit took to selling pieces of the [[Frog Temple|ruins]] near their [[Murrit's hive|hive]] in order to get by. At around 4.5 sweeps old, they struck a deal with [[White Noise]] to rebuild the temple and notify his group of friends after he finished, in exchange for being awakened on the moon of [[Derse]], where he was apprehended by a group of con men known as [[Dead Shufflers|the Dead Shufflers]] and held hostage against the [[Black Queen]]. The game's Jack Noir, known as [[Scathing Sharper]], quickly took a liking to Murrit and as such acted as a sort of mentor to her, teaching her how they operated and turning her into a feared member of their gang, and in her waking life, a feared member of the remaining seadweller hierarchy.<br /> <br /> Some time afterward, Murrit played a fateful virtual poker game within which they reunited with Dismas, prompting them to sell the Shufflers out into servitude or hiding and completely recreate their personality from scratch into an eccentric, sleazy front. The two entered into a [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismesissitude]] after some time, working as partners with Dismas as a hitman, and later, Murrit would lead Dismas to a destitute Jentha, reuniting the two who would then become [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirails]].<br /> <br /> At an unspecified point after this and before the events of the story, Murrit watched on his monitors as [[Ellsee Raines]] attempted a ritual that went horribly wrong. The things Murrit saw shook them to their core, causing them to dedicate effort to excluding her from the upcoming game.<br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> On the night of [[The Game]], Murrit spends most of his time preparing and organizing his plans to get everyone into the game successfully, pushing everyone along accordingly. This includes {{VE|59|attempting to explain the circumstances to}} [[Taz Poemme]] in the most excruciating manner possible, {{VE|117|re-explaining their past in relation to White Noise to Dismas}} as he is led outside by Murrit to be filmed fighting his [[Lusus#Skulltitan Lusus|lusus]], {{VE|159|spying on their friends}} on their various CRT monitors, and playing a [[Anthropormunicipality|different game]] with a [[Laivan Ferroo|friend]] to pass the time. <br /> <br /> Murrit eventually makes his way back to the Frog Temple, which he has labeled and desecrated as his &quot;hentai dungeon&quot;, {{VE|231|after navigating a series of elaborate traps}} designed by himself to keep him on his toes. In the temple, along with [[Narayan Code|several runes]] is a giant closed flower pod on a pedestal with a timer counting down, minutes from completion. Being a bit early for the big reveal, Murrit fetches their Doncamaticomp from their [[Sylladex#Surveillance|fetch modus]], answering a message from [[Laivan Ferroo]] about the current state of preparation for the game. {{VE|242|Murrit promises to play a game of Anthropormunicipality with Laivan}} as the countdown on the flower pod's pedestal ends.<br /> <br /> The flower opens and lets out a bright beam of light that splits into twelve, forcefully installing The Game on the main cast's computers. This prompts Taz to message Murrit in frustrated confusion before being told outright to figure it out herself.<br /> <br /> Not long after, {{VE|265|Murrit sends a mass memo}} to the main cast (with the exception of Ellsee) informing them of the nature of The Game. {{VE|357|They then receive a message}} from who they think to be Arcjec, though it's revealed to be Ellsee messaging them through Arcjec's Skorpe account, demanding to know what was going on and why she was excluded. Murrit proceeds to drop his quirk and sharply demand that she stay away away from the rest of the cast and the game if she actually cares about any of them, ceasing to message her further.<br /> <br /> During {{VE|310|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Arcjec: Enter.}}, Murrit is shown playing aforementioned rounds of Anthropormunicipality with Laivan as promised. <br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> Murrit was included in Ellsee's memo, but immediately withdrew from it. After the memo, Laivan messages Murrit asking why she left, to which Murrit asks that Laivan just trust them on it.<br /> <br /> The scene switches to Murrit's Boobdrone (Based Occulatory Operation Buddy Drone) harassing Dismas, half submerged in a stream with a broken arm after the recent altercation with his lusus, with its auto chatter function. Not long after, the automatic function shuts off and Murrit returns, piloting the drone. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move, they bring Jentha into a [[Skorpe]] call, who proceeds to heavily chastise Murrit for telling her Dismas had been killed in order to get her to join the call in the first place. Murrit has another Boobdrone push an ore-powered minecart onto the nearby rails, hoisting Dismas onto it to get him back to his hive in order to be Murrit's server player.<br /> <br /> Later, on the sandy beach in front of her hive, Murrit's entrance into the game is put in jeopardy{{VE|675}}. Their paragon repository is trapped in a cube of ice, unable to be melted in time to release their [[Denizen]] before the meteor hits. Suddenly, the ice block and the hourglass inside it shatter, unleashing the [[Gusion|Denizen of Time]] inside. {{VE|684|As Murrit rushes into the portal}}, after him, [[Weird Al|two]] [[Edolon Vryche|characters]] are shown, one with [[Narayan Code|symbols]] in the color of the [[Aspect#Time|Time aspect]] on his palms.<br /> <br /> After his entry, {{VE|980|Murrit is shown having an argument}} with [[Metatron]] regarding the Game and White Noise on the [[Land of Wave and Record]] as his [[consorts]] watch. Murrit questions Metatron's ties to White Noise, asking if they weren't playing their part in setting up the game correctly, citing their view on killing off [[Ellsee Raines|a part of the group]] to keep the rest of them safe. Metatron replies that if they'd actually kill her, their entire session would fail, to which Murrit replies that they weren't made aware of. Metatron presses Murrit to describe what he saw, accompanied by a flashback of Ellsee's ritual gone wrong, something White Noise had not been able to see before.<br /> <br /> ===Act 3 Act 1===<br /> In the reopened memo, Murrit ignores multiple tags from [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] only to respond at the last minute, deflecting accusations and banning themself from the memo to avoid further questioning. She's then shown bringing several personal items onto her planet via Boobdrones while having a conversation with [[Tee Hanos]], one of her [[Planets|planet]]'s consorts. Tee Hanos reveals Murrit's responsibility of the ruination of the [[Land of Wave and Record]], giving a warning that if they didn't undo the damage, the platypus consorts would have their head.<br /> <br /> Tee Hanos entrusts Murrit with the last S-Grade resource on the planet, a Time Fractal, which is imbued with pure Time essence by Gusion himself. Murrit proceeds to call up Metatron for his crafting services, having him add up all the loot they obtained in their time as a member of the Dead Shufflers, rocketing their level up to 13 immediately. She then spends time making a large variety of items, outfits, weapons, and a new hairstyle to boot. He then uses the Time Fractal as well as all his other remaining resources {{VE|2184|to craft the Retrogauntlet}}, a device that allows him to directly interact with and learn from the past. In {{VE|2190|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Murrit: REW/FFD}}, she uses the Retrogauntlet to travel back in time and follow his path of undoing the damage. After destroying what appears to be robots in the distant past on the planet, they travel to an unruined version of the same planet named Land of Waves, Recording. She wanders around the planet and comes across an old temple, in which they find a room with {{VE|2185|the Duodechaxiom}}, it's screen glowing purple with the eye of [[Mimesis]].<br /> <br /> ===Alt!Murrit===<br /> In an [[Known_Probabilities#Alt.21Murrit:_FAST-FORWARD.|alternate probability]], instead of crafting the Retrogauntlet, Alt!Murrit follows the advice of a [[Mimesis|certain someone]], creating a device that allows for the viewing of and interaction with the infinite branches of the probable future: {{VE|2185|the Duodechaxiom}}. {{VE|2188|Tee Hanos remarks on this choice}}, claiming that Alt!Murrit is straying from their path, to which Alt!Murrit retorts by claiming that they're just going to make their own.<br /> <br /> In {{VE|2190|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Murrit: REW/FFD}}, Alt!Murrit uses the Duodechaxiom to view all branches of the future, and it can be assumed she travels to the future of his own session. In their session, as explained in a later conversation, the [[Land of Construct and Deluge#The Cauldron|Magnum Opus]] was {{VE quote|murrit|&gt;([busted from the start]}}, leaving their only remaining option to be fighting [[Gaiaeon]] head-on. Even with everyone having achieved all the preparation they could muster, everyone but Alt!Murrit was killed in the battle. With no other choice, they run away into Gaiaeon's last blind spot, that being [[Land of Murk and Quagmire]].<br /> <br /> {{VE|2105|Alt!Murrit is first seen messaging Laivan}} from her session's Land of Murk and Quagmire in an echo of a conversation between Dismas and the true Murrit shown a few pages prior. Alt!Murrit is shown at the end of their probability, covered in Ellsee's blood and having achieved self-actualization. Laivan dismisses Alt!Murrit's claims as a bit to get under his skin, attempting to brush her off until she pleads that this is all she has left, to which Laivan relents. In this conversation, Alt!Murrit tells Laivan about her probability and it's circumstances.<br /> <br /> She then goes on to explain the nature of probabilities and everything she learned in her thirty-two nights of playing The Game. They assert that the only probable outcome of their confrontation with Gaiaeon where they reign successful was that of the true timeline, Laivan's timeline, and trusting Laivan to make the right choices before being destroyed by Gaiaeon's scream at the end of the probability.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and Traits==<br /> Murrit is a troll with a complex and overly esoteric personality, being generally hard to decipher due to his penchant for misdirecting and confusing people on purpose. He presents an over-the-top front of being a skeevy and perverted troll with a love of all forms of debauchery. They deliberately speak in a way that is annoying, slang-filled and inconsistent that often leaves the people they interact with confused and frustrated. Under the surface, however, Murrit is shown to care immensely for her friends, both out of an obligation to get them into the game and actual genuine attachment. They even go as far as making an attempt on one of their lives in what they see as saving the others.<br /> <br /> Murrit is very convicted in his beliefs and is notably difficult to sway, as demonstrated by the misunderstanding regarding Ellsee's failed ritual. They show an incredible amount of commitment to everything they do, from their idiosyncrasies to their actual convictions, even (and at times especially) if it is to their own detriment.<br /> <br /> Murrit has little to no interest in the hierarchy of blood-castes and sea-dweller nobility. She finds both concepts completely irrelevant and outdated on a dying planet with a critically endangered sea-dweller population (to the frustration of a [[Calder Kerian|certain other magenta-blooded troll]]). True to this disdain for the pecking order, Murrit tries to treat (and mess with) everyone equally, rarely giving anyone any special treatment.<br /> <br /> Among Murrit's interests are collecting ancient media (but especially televisions and video tapes), spying on his friends and collecting video footage of their mistakes so that he can make wacky videos for his eyes only, playing [[Anthropormunicipality]] with Laivan, taking apart machines and figuring out how they work and how they can be exploited for his own purposes, antagonizing/helping Dismas, and pretending to be into hentai.<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> <br /> ===Dismas Mersiv===<br /> Murrit and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] went to school together, where Dismas would frequently be the target of Murrit's horseplay. After the incident and Dismas's disappearance, the two reunited and have been in a [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismesissitude]] ever since. The two worked as partners in a presumably illegal capacity in the past, with Dismas acting as Murrit's hitman of sorts.<br /> <br /> Murrit appears to take a tough-love stance towards Dismas, regularly helping Dismas in a roundabout, incomprehensible manner through the use of his Boobdrone and in person. Dismas generally acts like he's completely tired of Murrit's bullshit, but goes along with it anyway and does seem to be able to talk to him without resorting to usual rival-istic behavior.<br /> <br /> Murrit's feelings on the relationship differ greatly from what their quadrant designation suggests, and it is confirmed that they actually have a flushed crush on Dismas, who Murrit considers to be the best thing to ever happen to them&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|date=Sep 19, 2018|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/178239638154}}&lt;/ref&gt;. However, due to the gravity of this fact and her fear of ruining their relationship due to Repiton's societal and cultural norms surrounding romance, Murrit keeps this a secret.<br /> <br /> ===Jentha Briati===<br /> [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] has held a stark animosity for Murrit since the two met in school, being the one to stand up against him when his bullying went too far. However, it was Murrit who reunited Jentha with Dismas sweeps later. She still holds a firm distaste for their character, their idiosyncrasies being especially hard to keep up with due to her myriad of disabilities. Despite this, she still holds a firm ground against Murrit in defense of her moirail.<br /> <br /> Generally, she doesn't seem to hate Murrit completely despite their many clashing traits, at most tolerating him.<br /> <br /> ===Laivan Ferroo===<br /> Before the game, [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Murrit were considerably close friends, with the two sharing a passion for Anthropormunicipality and a destiny in leading everyone to play the game they recovered from the Frog Temple. Murrit seems generally more lax around Laivan, giving him a much less difficult time than others and being more willing to divulge to him.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the game had begun, however, their dynamic started to see a shift. With Murrit making an attempt on Ellsee's life and refusing to take responsibility, Laivan began to find Murrit much less forgivable or tolerable, leading to a building animosity that saw a peak when Laivan was messaged by Alt!Murrit{{VE|2105}}. Laivan is very short with Murrit in this conversation, chastising her for her behavior and her actions, to which Alt!Murrit insists she literally can't take responsibility for. Only after laying their intentions bare with all the emotional honesty they could muster does Alt!Murrit gain Laivan's begrudging attention.<br /> <br /> ===Taz Poemme===<br /> [[Taz Poemme|Taz]] is one of the few trolls to elicit any genuine honesty from Murrit, and Murrit calls their relationship a camaraderie of sorts. They both seem to recognize that their respective demeanors are mere posturing in favor of their actual personalities. Murrit wasn't there with Taz during the worst parts of her life, though, which leads him to ponder on what she's been through and whether he could relate to it (a thought he immediately represses on instinct){{VE|2156}}.<br /> <br /> ===Ellsee Raines ===<br /> Due to Murrit's viewing of an occult ritual to contact her ancestors, Murrit seems to outright fear [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]], and distrusts her even more so, to the point that Murrit actively tries to keep her out of the game and makes threats on her life. Ellsee is the only troll who Murrit has referred to by name, rather than a double entendre-rifled, reference-heavy, or insulting nickname.<br /> <br /> In Alt!Murrit's conversation with Laivan, however, she claims that she and Ellsee were &quot;close&quot;, refusing to talk about her much more than that given her undeniably strong grief surrounding her Ellsee's death.<br /> <br /> ===Calder Kerian===<br /> Murrit does not like [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] at all. Murrit makes a huge point of annoying or ignoring Calder whenever possible, even basing their &quot;love&quot; and persistence of enjoying hentai to mock his male-centric ideals and hoity toity attitude. Conversely, Calder is frustrated with Murrit's refusal to behave like a proper sea dweller, and regularly tries to boss Murrit around, even though he at one point deeply respected him.<br /> <br /> ===Arcjec Voorat===<br /> [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] generally dislikes interacting with Murrit, but appears to trust her regardless, believing her to not be a liar, at least in regards to The Game. Murrit is apparently fond of Arcjec, finding him to be fun and easy to provoke. After Murrit makes an attempt on Ellsee's life, however, Arcjec (much like everyone else) shows a growing contempt for Murrit's refusal to take responsibility or be mature about the situation at all.<br /> <br /> ===White Noise===<br /> Murrit met [[White Noise]] at about 4.5 sweeps old. White Noise had approached the destined Time player in her dreams and gave her the choice of whether to pursue her destiny or not, clearly outlining the conditions of such a contact would require of Murrit and what it would give her in return. Murrit having been an accomplished gambler and con-man at the time could quickly tell that White Noise was no swindler and was not one to be swindled either. Interested in the prospect of finding their ideal self, Murrit accepted and has worked in tandem with Laivan to fulfill their end of the bargain with White Noise ever since. As part of their deal, Murrit's [[Dream Self]] awoke on [[Derse]], and they've dreamed on Derse ever since.<br /> <br /> ===The Dead Shufflers===<br /> Murrit was once a member of the [[Dead Shufflers]]. After he awoke on Derse, his [[Dreamself]] was kidnapped by the group in hopes of using him as leverage against the Dersite royalty. However, when their leader, the [[Scathing Sharper]] took a liking to the young Murrit, he invited the seadweller into their fold. Murrit was a natural fit for the cut throat group, and began taking on their activities in their real life as well. However, after reuniting with Dismas, Murrit eventually lost interest in that kind of life, and sold the group out. He hasn't looked back since.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Murrit's Skorpe handle, {{VE Quote|murrit|unclaspedKahuna}}, is a blatant reference to his played up obsession with breasts. 'unclasped' means something 'revealed' or 'undressed'; 'kahuna' is a euphemism for breasts. The Hawaiian word also ties into their &quot;tropical&quot; design.<br /> *Murrit likely had a different [[Skorpe]] handle in their youth, around the time of Jentha's {{VE|2039|departure from school.}} The handle is only seen once, covered partially by the thumb of the [[The Principal|Principal]]. The uncovered part can be read as &quot;stratagemSl&quot;<br /> **A &quot;stratagem&quot; is an individual element of a larger, more complex plan, generally used in the context of games. This signifies that Murrit was proud of their status as a player of games and author of schemes, a role that they would play throughout the remainder of the story for better or worse.<br /> **Drawing from common themes in online handles, &quot;Sl&quot; could be the start of the word &quot;Slayer,&quot; which would entirely reverse the meaning of the handle, instead implying that Murrit is the one to ruin or &quot;slay&quot; plans rather than make them. Given her background, this nickname would not entirely be unwarranted even in her youth.<br /> *His drones known as Boobdrones, are short for: Based Occulatory Operating Buddy Drone. They also all have functions that, when set on auto-pilot, do different things. The one that Murrit sent out to Dismas in [[Vast Error: Act 1|Act 1]] spouts random factoids about female troll chests.<br /> *Murrit's introduction is the longest out of the main 12. <br /> *Murrit has almost never used the same nickname for a character twice, {{VE|242|except}} for {{VE|249|Taz}}.<br /> *Murrit switches what pair of shutter shades they wear every wice per half a sweep.<br /> **She has 52 varying pairs, which is more than likely to represent how many wices there are per half-sweep. Though it could also be a reference to how many cards there are in a full deck.<br /> *Murrit is a huge fan of Repitonian pop-culture, from various eras of the planet's long history. Aspects of his character and hive contain numerous references to various Repitonian media (actually just Repitonian versions of a number of Earth media from the 80s and 90s).<br /> **In her introduction, the televisions not on static play tapes of [[wikipedia:Pulp Fiction|''Pulp Fiction'']], [[wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'']], [[wikipedia:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']], [[wikipedia:ALF (TV series)|''ALF'']] and [[wikipedia:The End of Evangelion|''End of Evangelion'']].<br /> **Murrit seems to be frequently associated with the virtual band ''[[wikipedia:Gorillaz|''Gorillaz'']].'' Her hive is reminiscent of and likely based on the futuristic island house on the cover of [[wikipedia:Plastic Beach|Plastic Beach]], while her computer, called the Doncamaticomp, is a reference to the instrument and title of their single [[wikipedia:Doncamatic|Doncamatic]]''.''<br /> **He has been shown to be a fan of the Repitonian version of [[wikipedia:Danganronpa|''Danganronpa'']].

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> <br /> '''Taz Poemme''' (short for '''Tazsia''') known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|tazsia|perniciousOverkill}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Platinum and her horns are long and winding. She wears her symbol on the back of her vest. She is a deconstruction of the &quot;Terrifying Cultish Murder Clown&quot; fantroll archetype.<br /> <br /> She is a well-known member of a wrestling-based cult known as [[Mirthamaniacs]]. Her chucklevoodoo holds the power of 'Intimidation' and is constantly active, shown through the purple glints in her pupils.<br /> <br /> She was the second troll introduced and the second troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> Her preferred name of 'Taz' is a reference to actual professional wrestler [[wikipedia:Tazz|Tazz]]. &quot;Poemme&quot; may be a [[troll]]ification of the word ''poem''.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> ===Early life===<br /> Upon being Taz being reduplicated, the [[Mirthamaniacs]] went to [[Stronghold 21]], demanding to have Taz handed to them and have her name be the one decided by her ancestor: Tazsia. Once they got Taz in their grasp, they provided her with a [[Lusus#Minkmom|lusus]] and {{VE quote|vilcus|set [her] up with a place}}, likely the Mirthamaniacs.<br /> <br /> Taz was kept captive by [[Pozzol Broyer]] in the [[Mirthamaniacs]] under the statement that it was her destiny as [[Fortmistress Deadlock]]'s descendant, being forced to kill other children as young as her in the ring and quickly becoming a crowd favorite. The wrestling announcer [[Vilcus Cendum]] came to empathize with Taz's struggles, offering to cover for her when she sneaked away to see her friends. Eventually, Taz decided to help Vilcus escape the Mirthamaniacs by faking his death and claiming to have killed him herself. Pozzol saw through the ruse, but offered her a deal: if she wanted to be able to come and go freely, she would have to &quot;go pro&quot; and commit to his orders, chaining herself permanently to the Mirthamaniacs. She took the bargain. <br /> <br /> According to Arcjec, she ruined his life by doing something that ended up changing him into who he is today.<br /> <br /> It can be inferred that this had something to do with her punching him in the face; when Arcjec began to run away crying from Taz's hive near the end of Act 1, his nose was bleeding rather heavily. When discussed, Taz shows a very stubborn and upset demeanor regarding the subject. However, you can see that she does have tears in her eyes in the panel if you look close enough. This proves that she does potentially regret the incident.<br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> Shortly after Taz's introduction, she is messaged by [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]], who tells her about the completion of a long-term project in the form of a game he wants everyone to play. Although Murrit's esoteric vernacular and vagueness frustrate Taz, she listens until Murrit tells her that she's going to have to get in contact with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]], to which she outright refuses. Immediately after rejecting Murrit's proposal, she ceases messaging the seadweller.<br /> <br /> Taz is then called away by the sound of her [[lusus]], a large aquatic mink, that she has been forced to keep from the ocean due the increasingly toxic environment and mutated undersea fauna. The lusus had apparently killed a nameless, bronze-blooded troll who had been loitering near Taz's hive; it was now impaled on a stalactite peaking out of the ocean neighboring the hive. Taz takes a moment to be grateful the poor troll didn't fall into the ocean depths, but admits that they probably were still better off dying on the spikes than being found by Taz, who would have beaten them to death.<br /> <br /> Taz then messages her moirail, [[Albion Shukra]], going over the details of her interactions with Murrit. When Albion makes a cryptic (but insincere) remark about knowing the future, Taz asks Albion if she might know anything about it. Albion admits she does not what Murrit might be planning but knows that the night is of great importance, as it's the night [[Repiton]] would finally crumble and the night she was expected to save it. Taz, a staunch non-believer of Albion's prophetic destiny, dismisses the notion as bullshit.<br /> <br /> Albion then repeats Murrit's sentiment and states that Taz really should try to reach out to Arcjec and finally try to work out their differences, instead of her merely trying to get his attention. Taz continues to be upset at the suggestion. Their conversation ends with Albion going over her destiny to merge with her lusus and salvage the remains of Repiton and the remaining troll species. Taz is left confused and concerned for her moirail. She later receives Murrit's memo pertaining to the game and its nature.<br /> [[File:Young Taz in the ring covered in blood.gif|alt=Young Taz covered in lowblood's children blood in the ring while the crowd cheers. Her eyes are glowing in lilac and have a purple swirl in the middle because of her Rage aspect activation|thumb|223x223px]]<br /> Taz is next seen after Murrit witnesses the release of the flower within in the [[Frog Temple]] that neighbors their hive. The resulting release unleashes [[The Game]], which installs itself onto all the trolls' main computers. Taz, dismayed at how her computer has apparently been taken over by The Game (and has also rendered it unable to do anything aside from using [[Skorpe]] and the game itself), messages Murrit. She comes to the logical conclusion that Murrit tampered with her computer, which he denies. Murrit, frustrated at Taz's continued refusal to listen to them, simply tells her to reach out to Arcjec, and figure it out. Taz's game screen then switches to show Arcjec's hive. She sees Arcjec passed out on the floor covered in crumpled up paper.<br /> <br /> When Arcjec finally awakens, Taz uses the game's cursor to drag Arcjec to his desk and look at his computer. The former friends bicker for some time before Taz forces Arcjec to look at the reality of the situation -- literally. When Arcjec dismisses Murrit's memo as an elaborate prank done by her and the seadweller, Taz retaliates by forcing him to look out his window and look at the meteor hurtling towards his hive. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Arcjec agrees to work with Taz, despite her constant antagonism.<br /> <br /> The two reach an uneasy truce (although mutually agree to avoid each other once everything is said and done) and begin working to unravel the secrets of The Game. Arcjec realizes that the symbols they've been writing in their sleep are connected to the game, and they begins inputting the symbols into the game window. While he's doing this, Taz inputs a set of codes she received from Murrit's memo. This allows Taz access to a set of objects to place in and outside of Arcjec's hive. Proceeding outside, Taz places a series of pillars and an archway outside Arcjec's hive, and a mysterious chest in his room. Arcjec opens the chest, which unleashes a powerful gust of wind that sends him careering out of his room (destroying a wall in the process). The wind blows Arcjec right in front of the archway, which activates into some sort of portal. Taz uses the game cursor to push Arcjec into the portal while they're dazed and makes them enter [[The Medium]]. Meanwhile, the pillars around Arcjec's hive divert the oncoming meteor into [[Skaia]], preventing its complete destruction.<br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> After Arcjec's abrupt entry, Taz briefly asks them to send her a message to ensure her that they aren't dead. She then moves on to work with with [[Laivan Ferroo]] on her own entry. She and Laivan struggle to figure out Taz's codes before they are both pulled into a memo made by [[Ellsee Raines]], who attempts to share her own knowledge on the game that she uncovered through her own means. The memo quickly goes off the rails and it isn't long before Taz gets frustrated and leaves. Laivan chides Taz for burning bridges that might have helped with their entry process.<br /> <br /> It is at this point that Taz's [[lusus]], overwhelmed by its desire to return to its natural aquatic habitat due to the impending meteor, jumps into [[The Black Depths]]. Minkmom is very quickly eaten alive, to Taz's horror. This sends her chucklevoodoo and her rage into overdrive. This rage is punctuated by the fact that her lusus' blood reveals the location of the codes Taz needed, which had been in the rocks beneath the cliffs by her hive. Laivan asks if Taz is okay, and Taz makes it clear that she does not want to talk about it and that they should move on.<br /> <br /> Taz and Laivan make quick work of the entry process, and when it comes time for Taz to unleash her [[denizen]], she has Laivan put the rusted and locked cage, her [[Paragon Repository]], in her [[Taz's hive|Torture Fort]] so that she can go against it on her own terms. Despite trying everything in her power to destroy the cage, it having a lock with no key, she is forced to ask Laivan for help to fetch her Ferocity Weaver which she left outside in the rush. Laivan obliges and gives it to her, and Taz uses it to channel the full power of her rage and chucklevoodoo to destroy the cage and unleash her denizen. The release of her frustrations on the cage manages to calm her down. The denizen quickly enters the portal and Taz follows suit.<br /> <br /> Upon her entry, Taz is very quickly berated by [[Azbogah]], the Denizen of Rage. Azbogah tears into Taz for being loud and obnoxious, a pain to be around, and a person undeserving of her aspect with very little capacity to change. After making it very clear that she does not like Taz, Azbogah ends the conversation to generate Taz's land.<br /> <br /> In {{VE|641|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Engage.}}, she was seen exploring her land, [[Land of Growth and Gravity]].<br /> <br /> In {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, she was seen killing a monster using her strife specibus: [[macekind]], as one of her [[consorts]] gave her a winding key.<br /> <br /> === Post EOA2 ===<br /> As Taz makes her first foray into Arcjec's planet, she stumbles across a scene from her youth, brought to life through [[Land of Mirage and Monochrome]]'s mechanics: her, Ellsee, Laivan and Arcjec, back when they were children, on the day when Arcjec asked Taz if she thought they were going to be friends forever.<br /> <br /> After she spends some time reminiscing, Arcjec finds Taz, snapping her out of the flashback. He greets her with a smile and reassures her that he's right there, and the two of them walk off together.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> In the reopened memo {{VE quote|arcjec|XDXD Rebeating the dead omenbeast. XDXD}}, Taz and Arcjec have some short conversations here and there, despite them standing right next to eachother.<br /> <br /> A few hours later, she gets messaged by Albion, and the two exchange their feelings about important personal happenings as they were getting ready to enter The Game.<br /> <br /> Some time after that, Taz gets contacted by Murrit to rid of a weapon he crafted: Morning of 4 ft. 2. While reluctantly, Taz accepts the trade, sending back Murrit not even half a gram of sand and a gilded shard. Once delivered, Taz and Arcjec share a feeling of disgust and confusion for the item.<br /> <br /> After various puzzle solving and crafting off-screen, Arcjec and Taz are noted to regain some trust between eachother. {{VE|2434|We see both of them on LOGAG}}, specifically in it's second stratum, in the middle of combat with a large enemy. Taz goes against an agreed plan for the battle by {{VE|2437|throwing Arcjec towards the enemy}}, which he improvises, but together take the enemy down and earn an S-grade resource, {{VE|2447|a spleen with filled with choler}}.<br /> <br /> They bring the spleen to one of Taz's scorpion consorts named Fuckwit. Fuckwit having promised to help navigate the planet in exchange for the spleen suddenly changes his mind. Taz attempts to use her PsyOPs on him, but {{VE|2453|Arcjec leads him away}} to have a one-on-one chat, in which {{VE|2457|he scares Fuckwit into upholding his end of the deal}}, free of charge. As Taz and Arcjec leave, Taz unlocks the {{VE|2460|Multi-Jumper}} technique on her proficiency haulm, allowing her to double jump anywhere without cooldown within the Incipisphere.<br /> <br /> The two decide to {{VE|2462|take a break}} and simply chat together. To Taz's surprise, Arcjec mentions smoking. She lights a matchstick for their sugar stick after she denies an offer for one. Both talk and ask about each other, getting to know the other once again. When Arcjec mentions both of them hating each other, she cuts them off, saying {{VE|2470|she never hated them}}. Arcjec admits to all their faults towards Taz, but Taz forgives them, talking about knowing Arcjec well and their past, which Arcjec admits to not being able to remember well. She points out her own faults after Arcjec entirely blames themselves and {{VE|2475|prompts Arcjec a question}} of whether everyone is still friends, to which Arcjec expresses that they are. {{VE|2478|Arcjec gets interrupted by a notification}} before the two can continue their conversation further.<br /> <br /> == Personality and traits ==<br /> Taz is a notably angry, headstrong and determined troll who tends to not think her actions through, instead just doing what she feels is best in the moment. This way of thinking has definitely caused her more harm than good, and has seemingly ruined or put a lot of strain on her relationships with the exception of [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], who is somehow able to pacify her seething disposition. Not even Taz really knows how she does this.<br /> <br /> She has a habit of getting belligerent verbally and physically, often throwing insults when provoked or annoyed. She doesn't seem to understand simple concepts in a conversation like jokes or banter, finding the concepts to be stupid and bothersome. She also hates to be interrupted when speaking, especially if it's about something she finds important. Taz isn't one to easily ask others for help, stubbornly doing tasks herself even if she doesn't know how to do it properly. She also refuses to admit when she is wrong and generally convinces herself that she's done a good job after the fact. This is heavily shown throughout her conversations with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] in [[Vast Error: Act 1|Act 1]].<br /> <br /> There are moments when she will yield to her conversation partner, though this is normally only if she finds the issue to be trivial or she is tired of dealing with it and knows her efforts will end up being futile in the end regardless.<br /> <br /> Despite her many antagonistic and self-destructive traits, she consistently shows that -- true to her title as a [[Class|Sylph]] -- she does have good intentions. It's clear that her aggression and frustration towards others is out of a desire to help those around her, albeit in her own caustic, hyper-aggressive manner. Additionally, due to her incredibly blunt nature, she isn't the type of person to act passively against others or do anything in an underhanded manner, and considers people with those traits a waste of time.<br /> <br /> Taz is very sensitive about her full name, and is easily set off when people bring it up. She is also a passionate devotee of the [[Mirthamaniacs]] cult, being a major contender in the ring herself. She collects and studies torture devices and weaponry in her hive.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> === Albion Shukra ===<br /> [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] is in a [[moraillegence]] with Taz, although their relationship appears to occasionally fluctuate into an [[auspisticism]] with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], where Albion acts as the mediating party. Albion is notable among Taz's close relationships in that she is the only troll who is able to placate Taz's aggression, with Taz being outright gentle and thoughtful when interacting with Albion. Taz herself isn't sure how Albion manages to do this. Because of this, Taz has stated that she finds Albion to be a &quot;special kind of scary&quot; and &quot;perfect&quot;.<br /> <br /> Taz has plainly stated that she does not share Albion's religious beliefs and more or less thinks of them to be horseshit. This is likely due to Taz's own beliefs within the Mirthamaniacs.<br /> <br /> === Arcjec Voorat ===<br /> [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] and Taz have had a difficult relationship since the comic started. Stemming from their largely difficult past and assumedly unrealized romantic entanglements. It is believed that their relationship was at one point abusive or unrequited; mutually or otherwise. After some kind of relationship-ending incident, Arcjec has since vehemently avoided any interaction with Taz for two sweeps. Taz has since desperately tried to reach out to Arcjec. The resulting fallout has evidently deeply affected Arcjec, resulting a drastic change in personality and demeanor, while Taz felt abandoned by Arcjec.<br /> <br /> When the two are forced to interact with one another during the events of the game, the two are constantly at each other's throats, barely being able to stay civil with one another even for the sake of their mutual survival. Despite this, even though it is very slight, they did have a couple moments of levity and have been shown to complete their goals as a team rather efficiently all things considered.<br /> <br /> Taz repeatedly shows that she does still care deeply for Arcjec, having spent so much trying to rebuild their relationship and her clear unease when she is forced to interact with him on less-than-favorable conditions. This is further indicated by her efforts to save him during his entry and how she messages him to check on his well-being post-entry, despite her being able to see him through her UI. Austin has also stated on Tumblr that they have &quot;extremely red&quot; feelings for each other&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=May 20, 2019|quote=[Ask: do taz and arcjec have black feelings for eachother?] if by black you mean extremely red then yes|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/185008621064/do-taz-and-arcjec-have-black-feelings-for}}&lt;/ref&gt;, &quot;miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=June 13, 2018|quote=[Ask: whats the deal with taz and arcjec and their relationship?] they miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/174870026574/whats-the-deal-with-taz-and-arcjec-and-their}}&lt;/ref&gt;, and &quot;are in love and very upset at themselves all the time&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=Apr 11, 2019|quote=[Ask: what is up with arcjec and taz] they are in love and very upset at themselves all the time|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/184094908769/what-is-up-with-arcjec-and-taz}}&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> === Murrit Turkin ===<br /> Taz is one of the few trolls to not be immediately put off by [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]]'s scummy, perverted facade, to the point that she's actually somewhat fond of the sea-dweller. Despite this, Taz will not put up with any of Murrit's bullshit and is ready to drop his ass whenever he's not being helpful. Murrit on the other hand enjoys toying with Taz and her temper, but does try his best to actually be useful to her once in a while as well. Though he also has his tipping point and has left Taz on her ass just as badly as she has done to him.<br /> <br /> This nicer relationship is however, undercut by his constant mention and nicknaming of Taz's breasts in their conversations -- something that Taz surprisingly doesn't seem to get onto him about as one might expect.<br /> === Minkmom ===<br /> Taz often had to fight against her [[lusus]] and its natural instinct to return to the sea, due to [[The Black Depths]] being extremely toxic and filled to the brim with deadly, multi-eyed and carnivorous sea life. In-fact, Taz acquired much of her fight skills early on due to having to fight Minkmom so much. Taz is understandably devastated when Minkmom succumbs to its natural instincts when fearful of the oncoming meteor and jumps into the ocean when Taz's back is turned, going into a rage as a result.<br /> <br /> === Azbogah ===<br /> Upon meeting her, Taz is immediately critical and distrustful of the [[Azbogah|denizen of Rage]], before the Denizen interrupts Taz to speak her mind.<br /> <br /> [[Azbogah]] deeply despises Taz. From the moment of their first meeting, Azbogah makes her disdain of the Sylph of Rage crystal clear, stating that she considers her player to be: entirely unfit for her role, an insufferable hypocrite who is incapable of change, and a burden on her friends and loved ones. Nonetheless, Azbogah is duty-bound to serve Taz as her denizen, and owes her a debt of gratitude for releasing her.<br /> <br /> The two appear to be very similar in demeanor, as both of them are very wrathful and vindictive beings. By virtue of this and by being two halves of the same whole, Azbogah might be guilty of having the very same flaws that she claims makes Taz unfit to be a Rage player, possibly indicating that the Denizen of Rage herself might be a hypocrite.<br /> <br /> === Occeus Coliad ===<br /> [[Occeus]] and Taz used to be in a [[Quadrants|kismessistude]], and at a further point, an auspisticism with [[Albion]] as their mediator. Even though their kismessistude has ended, Taz still appears to show some type of dislike to Occeus. <br /> <br /> === Ellsee Raines ===<br /> It is implied that [[Ellsee]] harbors pitch feelings for Taz. When Arcjec mentions Taz to [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] in a conversation, Ellsee seems to be put-off by being reminded of the jamblood, and later states her determination to prove her worth to the others, despite what Taz or [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] might say. Similarly, Taz very quickly loses patience with Ellsee (and by proxy, everyone else) when she is pulled into Ellsee's memo, but appears to be especially impatient with Ellsee in particular. Despite all this, Ellsee's feelings are one sided and Taz only has nonromantic hatred towards her.<br /> <br /> === Laivan Ferroo ===<br /> Taz does not enjoy speaking to [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] very much due to their naturally opposite personalities. She is put off by his simple demeanor and nonchalance, finding it frustrating especially when his attention is away from the subject at hand. She compares talking to him to talking to a brick wall.<br /> <br /> Laivan seems to be more or less neutral towards Taz, and generally lacks the words to describe her, but isn't above getting frustrated with her when she is being unreasonable, as most people are.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * 'Pernicious' means to have a harmful effect on someone, most often in a gradual or subtle way. 'Overkill' is commonly used as a term of excessive action or treatment. When combined, the two terms form a reference to Taz's history with Arcjec, destroying something about him in a manner that has left him a changed person to how he was at 6 sweeps. It can also refer to her brutal interest in combat, especially with her torture device collection.<br /> * Taz's pet rock &quot;The Rock&quot; is obviously named after [[wikipedia:Dwayne_Johnson|Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson]] who she actually has a poster of in her respiteblock, along with [[wikipedia:Vince_McMahon|Vince McMahon]] (in his famous 'IT'S ME AUSTIN' speech, no doubt as a reference to [[austinado]]) and [[wikipedia:Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]].<br /> * Taz likes to eat steak and presumably other forms of meat raw.<br /> * Taz does, in fact, drink [[wikipedia:Faygo|Faygo]], which to Mirthamaniacs is known as 'Pinfall Fuel'.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Occeus Coliad''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|occeus|macabreExude}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemical sigil is Sulfur and his horns are in the shape of small crowns.<br /> <br /> Occeus is a deconstruction of the 'Mad Scientist' archetype,&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt; despite not seeming to truly fit the label. He has many references to 'Frankenstein' based on his character, the obvious example being the naming of his assistant, [[Rogi]], which is simply 'Igor', the assistant to Victor Frankenstein, spelled backwards.<br /> <br /> He was the eighth troll introduced and the second troll introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. He was also the tenth troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> Occeus also stars in his own route in ''[[Snowbound Blood]]'', being the only troll of the main 12 to be featured in the [[Trollodex]].<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> Occeus likely comes from Oculus, the Latin word for eye, befitting of his mutation.<br /> <br /> Coliad likely comes from Coliadinae, a subfamily of butterflies also known as sulphurs, which matches his alchemical sigil.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Occeus’s life pre-game is fairly unknown. He is known to have had a [[Quadrants|moirallegiance]] with [[Calder Kerian]] and a [[Quadrants|kismesissitude]] with [[Taz Poemme]], both of which have been ended and the latter now being [[Quadrants|auspisticed]] by [[Albion Shukra]].<br /> <br /> However, it is vaguely known that when Occeus was 7 sweeps old he suffered from a major traumatic event which gave him Transmuted Epiphysis Cerebri (Third Eye). Soon after this [[Ellsee Raines]] found him and presumably passed her blood curse onto him in order to revive him, then taking care of him as he was recovering from the injury and adjusting to the side effects of his third eye. The revitalization seems to have been directly linked to Ellsee and Occeus's chemical bond.<br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> Occeus is first briefly seen gathering corpse parts outside for his work through one of [[Murrit Turkin]]'s TVs.<br /> <br /> Occeus was later added in a memo created by Murrit explaining the game, but just like everyone else, was silenced.<br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> Occeus contacts Ellsee in order to respond to days-old messages, they discuss a potential breakthrough in his work and the possibility of being able to be in contact more often as a result.<br /> <br /> Occeus is next seen revitalizing a dead troll, which results in the subject returning to life as intelligent and hostile, shortly being terminated. He then leaves Rogi to dispose of the corpse and reads a set of panicked messages from Ellsee about her attempt to visit Arcjec and the group memo set up by Murrit. He becomes frustrated and distressed at the possibility of losing his work, contacting Calder for clarification only to be assured that the game is undeniably happening. <br /> <br /> Occeus is included in Ellsee's memo but does not respond to it.<br /> <br /> Occeus is later seen contacting [[Jentha Briati]] in search of advice, to which she tells him to jump off a cliff. During this conversation, Occeus receives a video call from [[Hamifi Hekrix]], informing him that his results have been dropping and that he will be dropped from Corporate payroll if the trend continues. Occeus then thanks Jentha for her support before ending the conversation, despite her being relatively hostile to his messages.<br /> <br /> Occeus is then included in Arcjec's memo, which he does not respond to either.<br /> <br /> Occeus later messages Sova seeking support once again, she is more friendly despite being in a fairly bad situation herself and they briefly converse over their feelings on the stressful day. When Sova mentions the homunculi outside her house, Occeus attempts to reassure her that she should ignore them as mere hallucinations before they part ways.<br /> <br /> Finally, he is seen slumped down at his supercomputer while (presumably) suffering from visual hallucinations and static noise, meanwhile Calder pokes him with the Game's cursor and yells at him via messages. Calder then drags him outside to complete Occeus's game entry while his lusus [[Lusus|Ouworm]] is eating the homunculi. This scene continues into {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}} wherein his entry codes are revealed in his hallucinations, producing an entry artifact reminiscent of a goat creature crucified on a cross. He cuts the artifact in half with his laser and it crashes into his hive. His portal is activated and he enters, still being forcefully dragged by Calder.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> Occeus's first appearance in the game is in a group memo, in which he confirms his dismissal to [[Laivan Ferroo]] and the end of their working relationship, briefly speaks with Ellsee, and puts forth the motion that the game could be meant as a fresh start for Reption and a way of &quot;bring[ing] life itself back&quot;.<br /> <br /> While Occeus's conversation with his [[denizen]] is not shown, it is referred to by Occeus in later messages to Ellsee. His denizen wasn't too fond of him, referring to him only as 'Prince' and calling him a &quot;disruption&quot; and &quot;stagnant to the core&quot;, statement which later prompt Occeus to reflect in his monologue to Ellsee.<br /> <br /> In said monologue, Occeus apologizes to her for their lack of contact recently, reflects on the events that occurred pre-game, reflects on the futility of his work, recalls his initial meeting with Ellsee, and his feelings of failure and misunderstanding in his relationships with everyone he has ever spoken so. In the end he resolves to reunite with Ellsee and apologies again, telling her he loves her before ending the chatlog. In the illustrations for these pages, Occeus is seen entering a manor on his planet, getting caught in a trap and fighting off a horde of enemies. Afterwards, he begins to visualize all of the people he knows as mannequins in a white void, he approaches, speaks to, and hugs the Ellsee mannequin, before noticing black droplets falling onto him. He then looks upwards to find Gaiaeon looking down on him.<br /> <br /> At some point after the monologue, Occeus had gone through the planets of other players, currently journeying through them all to be able to meet Ellsee directly. While which planets and in what order he visited them is not known, Occeus, alongside Rogi, can be seen leaving Taz's planet, [[Land of Growth and Gravity]], to enter [[Serpaz Helilo]]'s planet, [[Land of Spiral and Fracture]]. In attempts to find Serpaz, he asks one of the planet's consorts for assistance, yet to no avail. [[Metatron]] informs him that Serpaz has been abducted and is about to get executed by her consorts. As a token of gratitude and to make sure Occeus reaches Serpaz quickly, Metatron assists him with what appears to be a crafted item that allows Occeus to fly.<br /> <br /> With a new outfit and helpful tools, Occeus manages to reach Serpaz right before she gets executed through a guillotine. He slices through the guillotine blade, causing it to fly off and kill a nearby standing consort. After picking up the body parts of the killed consort, due to his [[Sylladex#Fetch Modi|fetch modus]], it {{VE|2401|produces a Baby Sinclair artifact}}. He considers giving it to Jentha, but ends up giving it to Serpaz instead as an apology gift after releasing her from the guillotine. She discards the Baby Sinclair.<br /> <br /> As Occeus goes off to explore the planet, Serpaz follows and pesters him, much to his annoyance. They come to an agreement that Occeus will help Serpaz with the puzzles on her planet so long she keeps quiet, but ends up simply humming. Greeted with a puzzle, Occeus calls Albion for assistance. The solved puzzle opens up a staircase going deeper into the planet, and when Occeus and Serpaz went lower, they were greeted by two portals leading to other planets. Serpaz asks Occeus for advice, but as soon as he mentions having went to [[Land of Mirage and Monochrome]], Serpaz stops listening and runs into the portal leading to [[Land of Daze and Lattice]] instead. He follows Serpaz into LODAL, searching and greeting Sova alongside her.<br /> <br /> == Personality and traits ==<br /> As a scientist and engineer, Occeus is characterized by his empirical outlook on life and how it works. He is ambitious, yet detached, and fiercely dedicated to his work, seeming to doubt himself outside of it. <br /> <br /> He works towards the continued survival of his decaying planet and towards undoing the parasitic undead plague that ravages its population in the hope that he can return souls from a supposed entropy, and find the secret of untethered immortality. His visor is made specifically to cover up his third eye that formed after a major traumatic incident in his past. This third eye allows him to momentarily see into alternate dimensions, seeing vague figures and apparitions out of his peripheral vision. He sees more when he makes a conscious effort to contact the dimensions directly. He can also constantly hear the low buzzing of [[The Static|static]] in the back of his mind, but it doesn't bother him so long as he doesn't think about it. He states that stressful situations impact his condition.<br /> <br /> Occeus states that he does not understand other people, nor does he feel that they understand him, feeling painfully aware of his inability to help people outside of his work as well as do anything aside from what he's been instructed to. This is likely due to him having autism but never being diagnosed with the condition.<br /> <br /> His past interest and curiosity about abstract sci-fi and horror fare media is what caused a spark for what he does now. In the past, he found his studies and work more interesting, noted to be more inventive as well. &lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 17, 2023|quote=he used to enjoy deep and abstract sci-fi and horror fare, and the enjoyment of these things is what really lit the spark for him to study what he does now. he used to be a lot more inventive and curious about what he made too! remember the multiversal communicator that acts as his lab mainframe? but somewhere along the way...|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217042803/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111597043780035120}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> === Rogi ===<br /> [[Rogi]] is Occeus' assistant in his scientific pursuits. The creature was the result of one of Occeus' failed experiments, and is consequently unintelligent and largely useless as a result. However, Occeus doesn't seem to mind so much, and keeps the creature around to help with the grizzlier, more menial parts of his experiments, or perhaps because he appreciates the creature's company.<br /> <br /> Due to the unnatural circumstances of Rogi's existence, Rogi's body is unable to maintain itself and requires regular injection of lime blood to continue existing.<br /> <br /> === Ellsee Raines ===<br /> [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] and Occeus are [[Quadrants|matesprits]], and unique to the other relationships in the cast aside from [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]], have been [[Troll#Bonding|bonded]] with one another.<br /> <br /> Due to Occeus' workaholic nature and his desperation to preserve his planet, Occeus is unfortunately rather neglectful of Ellsee, leaving her to suffer from symptoms not unlike withdrawal in his absence (as is the case for Repitonian trolls who have been intimate with another and do not see each other for extended periods of time). Occeus regrets this, and realizes that Ellsee deserves better, but has nonetheless prioritized his work over her, until he was fired by [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]] and entering the game, where he apologizes in monologue form.<br /> <br /> In this monologue, Occeus references past events in which [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] breaks her code of conduct to save and care for him.<br /> <br /> Ellsee often volunteers the use of her lime blood for Occeus to use in his biological experiments, due to the blood's unique life-bearing properties. Occeus is the only troll that Ellsee trusts with her blood.<br /> <br /> He is incredibly protective of Ellsee, as evidenced in his ''Snowbound Blood'' route when he tells Secily {{VE Quote|occeus|Then eye will either kill f.o.r her .o.r die f.o.r her right t.o. be free}} when Secily confronts him about the vials of blood.<br /> <br /> Before Occeus fell into his workaholic nature, he and Ellsee spent more time in-person together. Even though they weren't able to go into public due to Ellsee being a limeblood, the two found their own activities, such as dancing.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 17, 2023|quote=they obviously can't go out for fun, so instead they made their own. […] i've always thought that they danced together, and that they found each other in the music.|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217023852/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111627800112313728}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Calder Kerian ===<br /> It has been shown that Occeus and [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] had a -- now-ended—pale relationship with one another. From Calder's account, it appears that Occeus abruptly ended their relationship and has been distant from Calder for some time. Calder is visibly bitter about it.<br /> <br /> === Taz Poemme ===<br /> [[Tazsia|Taz]] occasionally fluctuates into the ashen quadrant with Occeus, with [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] acting as mediator. This would indicate some enmity between the two. The two appear to have been involved in a now-ended black relationship with one another. They are moderately hostile towards each other in the Act 3 Act 1 memo.<br /> <br /> === Albion Shukra ===<br /> Due to the likely tumultuous relationship between Taz and Occeus, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] is often pulled to act as mediator when they enter the ashen quadrant part-time. From their limited interactions in the Act 3 Act 1 opening memo, they do not appear to be particularly friendly nor unfriendly with each other.<br /> <br /> === Jentha Briati ===<br /> Occeus seems to trust [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] and believe she is a friend or at least good acquaintance. He ends up believing she's helped him before and that she would be willing to make time for him. In reality, Jentha doesn't seem to like Occeus and is intentionally cruel to him (telling him to jump off a cliff and that she doesn't care that he needs her aid). <br /> <br /> === Sova Amalie ===<br /> Occeus similarly trusts [[Sova]] and considers her a friend, and Sova is friendly towards him in turn. They seem to confide in each other occasionally and offer words of reassurance when troubled.<br /> <br /> === Laivan Ferroo ===<br /> [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Occeus are work colleagues; Laivan stitches up corpses that Occeus finds for the sake of his revitalization experiments.<br /> <br /> === Serpaz Helilo ===<br /> While Occeus states, that he finds [[Serpaz]] to be {{VE quote|occeus|l.o.ud and b.o.ister.o.us and pr.o.f.o.undly t.o.ne deaf}}, alongside insufferable, he admits the two haven't spoken all that much. Yet upon finding out from [[Metatron]] that Serpaz will be executed by her [[consorts]], agrees to assist her and Metatron to prevent this circumstance.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * 'macabre' in his trolltag is a reference to his interest in most things relating to death, such as his reanimation experiments, his study of parasites, and his ultimate goal of trying to 'reanimate' the planet. 'Exude' could be a reference to his normal methods of injecting lime blood into corpses, due to its meaning of a slow and steady discharge. Altogether, the tag can refer to his disturbing presence as a whole.<br /> * The '.o.' shape replacing any 'o's in his text is a reference to his three-eyed state, with the two periods being his regular eyes and the 'o' representing his third eye. This places more emphasis on his third eye as opposed to his two regular eyes which could be a way of showing how Occeus is neglecting the mundane things around him in favor of pursuing mysteries and his work. <br /> * The pupil of his Third Eye bears a striking resemblance to that of [[Gaiaeon]]. It is unknown what exactly this means or if they share any sort of connection.<br /> ** This is in contrast to Ellsee's left eye, which looks like [[Kheparia|Kheparia's]].<br /> * Occeus constantly dealing with buzzing in the back of his mind, which he can tune out if he doesn't think about it, could potentially be a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's ''[[wikipedia:The Tell-Tale Heart|The Tell-Tale Heart]]''.<br /> * Occeus is a Prospit Dreamer, an Indigoblood and a Hero of Blood, meaning his extended zodiac sign would be: [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Sagicer Sagicer, Sign of the Hostess.]<br /> * Occeus is the only one of the main 12 who doesn't have a [[Filler]] account.<br /> *Occeus is canonically autistic, having been confirmed on Discord by creator Austinado&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=austinado|platform=discord|date=Feb 16, 2023|quote=thankfully [Occeus coming off as autistic] is very intentional|link=https://discord.com/channels/259021334804299786/747967215348875284/1075893777199276152}}&lt;/ref&gt; and shows many symptoms of social difficulty in chatlogs and hyperfixation through his focus on work.<br /> *During the comic's development phase, Occeus went through the most name changes.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Laivan Ferroo''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|laivan|windlessArtificer}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Zinc and his horns resemble dog ears. He is a deconstruction of the &quot;furry&quot; and &quot;unoriginal&quot; fantroll archetypes. <br /> <br /> He was the sixth troll introduced and the final troll properly introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 1|Act 1]]. As a Space player, he is one of the two players meant to usher [[The Game]] to its players along with the session's [[Murrit Turkin|Time player]]. <br /> <br /> He was the third troll to enter the game. <br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Six Sweeps ===<br /> Laivan used to play SBVRPRPG tournament games with [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] and Arcjec, and they all used to be good friends. This stopped after Arcjec started to become more depressed and distant.<br /> <br /> At some point, Laivan met his matesprit [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] by accidentally shooting her in the leg during a hunting trip. This encounter would leave Serpaz permanently disabled and reliant on a leg brace, but would also lead the two to form a strong matespritship.<br /> <br /> It was around this time that Laivan met and made a deal with [[White Noise]] under the condition that he would return at a later date and fulfill an [[Green Sun|obligation]] for him. Upon making this deal, Laivan awoke on the moon of [[Prospit]] and became a well-recognized figure on the moon. He eventually started spending his nights collecting newspapers to give to [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] upon his awakening so he wouldn't be left in the dark about the dream planet.<br /> <br /> === Pre-Game ===<br /> On the night of the game, Laivan spent much of his time goofing around and playing [[Anthropormuncipality]] with [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]]. He messaged [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] to ask them if they wanted to join in as well. They declined. During their game, Murrit wanders off to mess with [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and prepare him for the coming night, before going off to the [[Frog Temple]] next to his hive to observe the [[Nightshade]] within it. Before he leaves, Murrit creates a memo regarding the game and includes everyone (except [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]) in it.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Laivan took a nap and woke up on [[Prospit]], a routine he'd followed ever since he made a contract with [[White Noise]]. He visited Arcjec, who had yet to wake up. He delivers another Prospitian newspaper to Arcjec's dreamself, in hopes that once he awoke, he could easily be caught up on being a [[Prospit]] dreamer. Laivan quietly wished that Arcjec had woken up sooner, wondering if he might have been a happier person if he did. As he gives a reassuring pap to Arcjec's dreamself, the [[dreamself]] glitches out briefly, momentarily turning into his younger, less-depressed self. Laivan is freaked out by this. <br /> <br /> He is then intercepted by White Noise and taken into [[The Static]]. The two speak for a time and reflect on the purpose of the game and its existence, and how the trolls are destined to play it but are ultimately destined to fail to meet its purpose. Noise notes that their destined failure does not necessarily mean they will be faced with inevitable defeat. They also reflect on why Laivan took Noise's deal, with Laivan simply stating that the deal would give him a purpose. White Noise then gives Laivan the essence of his soul: a medallion with the {{Green Sun|link}} contained within, telling him that he must return it to its source for the sake of the perpetuation of reality. As Laivan puts on the '''{{Green Sun}}''' medallion, he finds himself unable to breathe, and White Noise uses his abilities to send Laivan away.<br /> <br /> Laivan is then awoken by his dog [[lusus]]: Mutt. After making sure he still has the medallion, he answers a message from his matesprit: [[Serpaz Helilo]]. The two lovers discuss Murrit's plans for the night and the fact that it happened to be their anniversary. Serpaz light-heartedly brings up how she and Laivan first met, when he accidentally shot her in the leg and left her with a permanent handicap, which makes Laivan visibly uncomfortable, despite Serpaz not being mad about the accident anymore. When the conversation ends, Laivan goes to find some glue to fix his dog's toy. As he is away from his desk, he receives a set of panicked messages from [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], who had recently learned a distressing truth from her lusus.<br /> <br /> When Laivan returns, he is unable to get a hold of Albion, and messages Murrit instead, voicing his concern for Albion's well-being and letting Murrit know he met with White Noise. After the Nightshade opens, which leads to the installation of [[The Game]] on everyone's computers. Laivan and Murrit play more Anthropomunicipality in celebration and do a fake high five.<br /> <br /> After Arcjec enters the game, Laivan is seen helping [[Taz]] with her entry. The two struggled to find Taz's code set of codes while Laivan continues to play more Anthropomunicipality with Murrit, which infuriates Taz. The two are abruptly pulled into a memo made by [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]], who wishes to share her own knowledge of the game in response to being excluded from Murrit's. Laivan is grateful for the prospect of help, but Taz behaves incredulously when she sees that Laivan wasting time with banter. When Taz leaves the memo in a huff, he chides her for burning bridges when they could have used the help. Suddenly, when Taz's back is turned, Taz's lusus succumbs to her natural instincts and jumps into the black ocean depths that neighbor Taz's hive. The large mink monster is very swiftly eaten alive by the deadly fauna below, and its blood reveals the location of Taz's code: in the rocks at the edge of the cliff, hidden by the murky black water. As Taz goes into a grief-driven rage, Laivan asks if Taz is okay, and Taz makes it clear that she does not want to talk about it and that they should move on.<br /> <br /> Taz and Laivan make quick work of the entry process, and when it comes time for Taz to unleash her [[Azbogah|denizen]], she has Laivan to put the rusted and locked cage, her [[Paragon Repository]], in her [[Tazsia's hive|Torture Fort]] so that she can go against it on her own terms. Despite trying everything in her power to destroy the cage, as it has a lock with no key, she is forced to ask Laivan for help to fetch her Ferocity Weaver which she left outside in the rush. Laivan obliges and gives it to her, and Taz uses it to channel the full power of her rage and chucklevoodoo to destroy the cage and unleash her denizen. The release of her frustrations on the cage calms Taz back down in the process. The denizen quickly enters the portal and Taz follows suit.<br /> <br /> After Taz's entry, Laivan begins preparing for his own, with Murrit as his server player. Laivan questions why Murrit left Ellsee's memo, clearly upset about how poorly she is treated. Murrit doesn't provide an answer, only telling Laivan that he has his reasons and he should trust him. Murrit then begins the entry process.<br /> <br /> === During the game ===<br /> After Laivan entered [[The Game]], he spoke to the denizen of Space, Haniel, about his life and asked Haniel about whether or not they know about White Noise. After the conversation, the Land of Construct and Deluge was formed as Haniel prompted Laivan to follow them. As they explored the planet, they came across a temple wherein The Cauldron was located and Haniel vaguely explained its true purpose to the Game.<br /> <br /> == Personality and traits ==<br /> Laivan is a passive but sociable troll who seems to get along with just about anyone. He is generally very laid back and is somewhat easily distracted. Among Laivan's interests are sharpshooting, taxidermy, playing video games and dogs. If trolls had a concept of furries, Laivan would be one due to his love and frequent association with dog-like creatures. This further established by his love of drawing original characters based on dogs. He has two as far as we know: one named Figment and one named Abel.<br /> <br /> Having a severe lung condition after a malfunction in his artificial birthing process, Laivan's capabilities and choices with what he does in life are inherently limited. However, this doesn't appear to bother him much and makes due with the help of his friends and his beloved dog-lusus, Mutt.<br /> <br /> At some point in his youth, Laivan made a deal with White Noise to fulfill some sort of obligation related to the perpetuation of reality. In matters related to these obligations, Laivan tends to take things much more seriously but also gets somewhat impatient. In his conversation with White Noise, Laivan admitted that he didn't really know what he wanted out of life and that he largely took White Noise's deal out of a desire for purpose. In the same conversation, Noise characterized Laivan as pragmatic, caring and constantly listless.<br /> == Relationships ==<br /> <br /> === Serpaz Helilo ===<br /> Laivan and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] are [[Quadrants|matesprits]] and appear to be exceptionally close. They met two sweeps prior to the night of [[The Game]] when Laivan accidentally shot Serpaz in the leg during a hunting excursion, which left Serpaz permanently unable to use that leg without a cane or brace. Apparently, they fell in love on the night the accident occured, the absurdity of which is something that does not elude them. Serpaz is evidentially more comfortable with making light of the accident than Laivan is, for obvious reasons. <br /> <br /> === Arcjec Voorat ===<br /> He isn't bothered by [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec's]] cantankerous personality and sardonic demeanor but considers him to be a generally sad person. The two appear to be good friends and their relationship is one of Arcjec's least tumultuous ones. Laivan frequently visits Arcjec's sleeping dreamself on Prospit, and Arcjec's pants match Laivan's blood color. Laivan is absolutely pale-smitten with Arcjec, a fact that [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] has teased him for.<br /> <br /> === Murrit Turkin ===<br /> [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] is one of Laivan's closest friends, with the two sharing a passion for Anthropormuncipality and a destiny in leading everyone to play the game they recovered from the Frog Temple. Laivan is one of the few trolls who aren't put off by Murrit's bizarre quirks and even jokingly calls him out on it. Murrit is often more honest around Laivan in turn and does not seem to harass him as harshly as some others, even though he isn't free from it either.<br /> <br /> === Sovara Amalie ===<br /> Sova is an old friend of Laivan and Serpaz, but they seem to have fallen out of touch with her prior to the events of [[the Game]]. The couple appears to be quite fond of and protective of Sova, apparently having saved her from something in the past and possibly made her a place to stay. <br /> <br /> === Albion Shukra ===<br /> Although their relationship has not been elaborated on, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] and Laivan appear to be on good terms and do message one another enough to where Albion feels comfortable in asking Laivan for help. He is visibly worried when she messages him in a panic and he is unable to get a response afterward.<br /> <br /> === Ellsee Raines ===<br /> Laivan and [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] are longtime friends, and the two are on amicable terms. Laivan is very upset when people mistreat her and belittle her, and is willing to come to her defense when others put her down or ignore her.<br /> <br /> === Occeus Coliad ===<br /> Laivan and [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] are work colleagues; Laivan stitches up corpses that [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] finds for the sake of his revitalization experiments.<br /> <br /> === Taz ===<br /> [[Taz Poemme|Taz]] does not enjoy speaking to Laivan very much due to their naturally opposite personalities. She is put off by his simple demeanor and nonchalance, finding it frustrating especially when his attention is away from the subject at hand. She compares talking to him to talking to a brick wall.<br /> <br /> Laivan seems to be more or less neutral towards Taz despite not having the words to describe her, but isn't above getting frustrated with her when she is being unreasonable, as most people are.<br /> <br /> === Calder Kerian ===<br /> [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] and Laivan were once friends in their youth, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.<br /> <br /> === White Noise ===<br /> [[White Noise]] appears to have a fatherly affinity for Laivan. White Noise tries to provide guidance and support to the young troll and has stated that Laivan and his friends are capable of much more than he might believe. Laivan appears to be comfortable with him and clearly respects his guidance, although he does think he rambles on too much.<br /> <br /> The two have made a deal, the conditions of which leave White Noise beholden to serve and assist Laivan, while Laivan promises to help bring about The Game and care for the propagation of reality. This deal is what allowed Laivan to awaken on Prospit.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * {{VE Quote|laivan|windlessArtificer}} is a reference to his asthmatic condition and to his taxidermical interests.<br /> * His dog-like traits are based on his archetype of &quot;Unoriginal&quot; or &quot;Furry&quot;, both of which would potentially associate him with certain Space Player from {{MSPAW External|Jade_Harley|another comic}}. They also share being Prospit dreamers.<br /> * Laivan is apparently very bad at tying knots.<br /> * Laivan has a tendency to use a lot of glue, and constantly seems to run out of it.<br /> ** Ironically, his matesprit, Serpaz suffers from an overabundance of glue, and constantly wonders why Laivan never asks her for any.<br /> * He has two laptops that appear to be the exact same laptop, only one is literally marked with a '2' on it.<br /> * Laivan is a Cobaltblood, a Prospit Dreamer, and a Hero of Space, meaning his sign on Alternia would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Scorgo Scorgo, Sign of the Crusader].<br /> * The name Laivan Ferroo, when translated from Finnish, means 'iron ship'. This may be a reference to his matespritship with [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]].<br /> * Laivan runs a [[Filler]] account under the username ShiveringAbel.<br /> * Laivan and Serpaz are the same height.<br /> * His mentioned OCs, Abel and Figment, may have foreshadowed the existence of [[Mimesis]], as well as their connection to White Noise.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Serpaz Helilo''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|serpaz|pliableDecadence}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Gold and she is the Witch of Doom. Her three horns all point outward from her head, with the central horn pointing frontwards. She is a deconstruction of the &quot;Comedic Relief&quot; fantroll archetype. <br /> <br /> She was the tenth troll seen and the fourth troll properly introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. She was also the seventh troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> Serpaz, when translated from Kurdish, means 'the serpent'. ''Ser paz'' is Spanish for &quot;to be peace&quot;. Helilo, when translated from Estonian, means 'soundtrack'. It could also come from 'helio', the Greek word for sun, since in alchemy the Sun is heavily linked with gold.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Early life ===<br /> Serpaz was once the kismesis of [[Calder Kerian]], and was evidently a positive fixture in the sea-dweller's life. However, at some point, the two ended their relationship. Some time after this, she was accidentally shot in the leg by [[Laivan Ferroo]] during one of his hunting excursions. The incident would change Serpaz's life forever, as it would lead her to be permanently disabled, but also lead her to meet the love of her life. She was also somehow acquainted with [[Arcjec Voorat]] during this time, and notably knew him prior to the event that led to his current depressive demeanor.<br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> During Laivan's introduction, Serpaz's first seen dialogue is seen to be with him, in which she raises concerns about trusting [[Murrit Turkin]] and [[The Game]]. After that, the two discuss the anniversary of their [[Quadrants#Quadrants#Matespritship/Flushed_Quadrant_♥|matespritship]] and the [[Harbingers of the Alpocalypse|Alpocalypse]] before ending the conversation.<br /> She was added to Murrit's group memo about the works of the game, but was silenced like everyone else.<br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> After her introduction and playing the accordian, she is suddenly messaged by [[Edolon Vryche]], who claims to want to help her. Serpaz declines. Soon after this, she messages her friend [[Sova Amalie]], and then [[Albion Shukra]]. After speaking to the two, she opens her front door to be greeted by Edolon, who she closes the door on. He manages to enter her hive regardless which makes Serpaz upset. She proceeds to shoot him with her nail gun, threatening to shoot him more if he doesn't leave. Edolon ends up picking Serpaz up and slamming her onto the ground, then shows her the damage the creatures have caused to her hive. <br /> <br /> Serpaz is included in Arcjec's memo, but doesn't respond. This is likely because she was dealing with Edolon at the time.<br /> <br /> Later on, we see the creatures have tied Serpaz to her wall as Edolon messages Albion through Serpaz's laptop. Serpaz manages to break free of The Creatures grasp, and equips a fire gun. After lighting her paragon repository with it and releasing her denizen, Edolon shows Serpaz her entry codes. These actions activate her entry portal. <br /> <br /> Later, in {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, Serpaz is seen trying to fight off Edolon only to get distracted by her lusus, who was captured and bound by the creatures. Edolon takes advantage of her being distracted and pushes her into to her entry portal. He snarkly bids farewell to her as she's falling through with a distressed look.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> In a memo created by Arcjec, Serpaz tells everyone that when she had met her denizen it had begun laughing at her, which made her feel distraught at first. After a moment, though, she started laughing along with him. Serpaz also states that it seems 'Omenbeasts', a mythic creature on repiton (known as horses to the viewers), are very real on her planet. This implied her [[consorts]] are omenbeasts/horses, which is later confirmed. She also described her land as having &quot;winding canyons.&quot;<br /> <br /> Some time after the memo, Serpaz tries interacting with one of the omenbeast consorts, but proceeds to infuriate it when she gets on top of it, causing it to run as Serpaz struggles to hold on. Laivan does a check-up on Serpaz, in which they talk about [[Weird Al]], Serpaz's well-being and when her dream self will awaken. The conversation ends as Serpaz gets kicked off by the omenbeast, making her land in the middle of a game some of the consorts were playing, much to their distaste. The omenbeasts find that Serpaz should be executed due to this interruption and [[Occeus Coliad]] gets sent by [[Metatron]] to find her.<br /> <br /> Upon her dreamself trying to wake up, it's revealed that her dream self, Dream!Serpaz, is long gone, and Serpaz wakes up in [[The Abyss]] instead. In The Abyss, she speaks with [[White Noise]], who tries to guide her around. Serpaz stumbles upon projections Edolon and [[Seinru Narako]] and gets interrupted by a ringing phone. Upon answering the phone, she's greeted by [[Talald Hieron]], who starts calling Serpaz &quot;Peepaw&quot;. Serpaz grew annoyed with Talald in their short talk, both not recognizing eachother, until Talald recognizes Serpaz right as she hangs up. When it rings again, Serpaz begrudgingly picks the phone up, being met with Dream!Serpaz. Dream!Serpaz taunts Serpaz about her life, mentioning her matespritship, [[Calder Kerian|previous kismesis]], [[Lefty]] and more. This infuriates Serpaz yet again, before getting scared by Dream!Serpaz's wishes of wanting to take back her body and points out that Serpaz will go through a lot of pain as she inevitably denies this exchange ever happening. Serpaz's fright causes her to wake up back on her planet.<br /> <br /> Once awake, Serpaz is met with her being in the middle of getting executed by guillotine by her consorts, as per earlier interruption. The execution gets cut short by Occeus, who has found Serpaz and saves her by slicing through the guillotine, sending the blade flying. This ends up killing one of the nearby omenbeasts. After Occeus collects the omenbeast body parts, due to his [[Sylladex#Fetch Modi|fetch modus]], it {{VE|2401|produces a Baby Sinclair artifact}}, given to Serpaz after she's released from the guillotine as an apology gift. She discards the Baby Sinclair.<br /> <br /> As Occeus ventures off, Serpaz follows him and tries to make conversation, much to his annoyance. Occeus agrees to help Serpaz with her planet's puzzles so long as Serpaz stays silent. Serpaz chooses to hum instead. After solving a puzzle, the two delve deeper into the planet, being met with two portals to other planets. Serpaz asks Occeus for advice, but as soon as Occeus states he's been to [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], Serpaz cuts him off and runs into the planet's portal. <br /> <br /> After the two wander around LODAL, Serpaz finds Sova and {{VE|2428|gives her a tight hug, dubbed {{VE quote|serpaz|THE SPINE BREAKER}}.}} It's seen that Albion was observing Serpaz's and Occeus' travels at this time.<br /> <br /> == Personality and Traits ==<br /> Serpaz is a very upbeat and generally lighthearted troll even in the worst of situations. Her ecstatic and jokey nature carry her through most of her conversations, and she's amazing at improv banter. She's someone who believes mistakes can turn into miracles. While she's definitely a mostly positive influence, she doesn't seem to have an understanding of how negative emotions affect others, lacking empathy. Her mindset is infused with toxic positivity and she can easily make others uncomfortable as a result of this. Her inability to be empathetic is caused by her lusus, Lefty, who feeds on any and all negative emotions Serpaz experiences, keeping her constantly happy and preventing her from handling her own emotions.<br /> <br /> She's a lover of stand up comedy, puns and all sorts of light-hearted tomfoolery. She considers herself a stand-up comedian on her own right, albeit one of middling quality. Among her favorite comedians are Troll Jerry Seinfeld, Troll John Mulaney, Troll Robin Williams, Troll Dave Chappelle and formerly; Troll [[Weird Al]].<br /> <br /> She's an aspiring architect and carpenter, constantly works towards outdoing her greatest project. However she tends to take a lot of breaks while working and has a habit of never finishing her ambitious projects because of how many ideas she has. Along with this she has a bad habit of accidentally hurting herself over and over again while on the job.<br /> <br /> She is also an amateur accordion player but pretends to not enjoy it to reduce the temptation of playing it and cursing herself to a conversation with Edolon, who she obtained it from. Her lusus, Lefty, loves it though.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> <br /> === Lefty ===<br /> Serpaz is very fond of her Compecado lusus, and the two appear to be very close. Lefty was shown to be very protective of Serpaz when she was shot by Laivan and attempted to attack him and Mutt for hurting her.<br /> <br /> Lefty sucks out any negative emotions Serpaz experiences, as shown after her first conversation with Edolon.<br /> <br /> === Laivan Ferroo ===<br /> [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Serpaz are [[Quadrants|matesprits]] and appear to be as close as two can be. The couple met two sweeps prior to the night of [[The Game]], when Laivan accidentally shot Serpaz in the leg during a hunting excursion, which left Serpaz permanently unable to use that leg without a cane or brace. Apparently, they fell in love within the night due to this accident, the absurdity of which is something that does not elude them. Serpaz is evidently more comfortable with making light of the accident than Laivan is, for obvious reasons.<br /> <br /> === Calder Kerian ===<br /> [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] and Serpaz were previously in a [[Quadrants|kismessitude]]. Prior to the end of their relationship, she used to push Calder to try new hobbies to get out of his own head. Calder still keeps pictures of Serpaz on the walls of his hive, as well as the model ship she gifted to him to have him make.<br /> <br /> === Sovara Amalie ===<br /> [[Sovara Amalie|Sova]] is an old friend of Serpaz and Laivan, but they seem to have fallen out of touch with her prior to the events of [[the Game]]. The couple appears to be quite fond of and protective of Sova, apparently having saved her from something in the past and have possibly played a part in helping Sova get her current lodgings and belongings.<br /> <br /> Serpaz appears to be slightly closer to Sova than Laivan is, likely due to her outgoing and jovial personality compared to Laivan's more laidback and quiet nature. However, while well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to her own outlook of dealing with sadness and pain.<br /> === Arcjec Voorat ===<br /> Serpaz and [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] are acquainted and have known each other for at least two sweeps. She regards Arcjec as a sad troll, but that he wasn't so sad when she first met him. She is aware that Laivan continually attempts to get Arcjec to open up and speak to him.<br /> <br /> === Murrit Turkin ===<br /> Serpaz and [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] are implied to be friends. On Laivan's laptop background the hand in front of Serpaz and him is Murrit's, which means she is the one who took the photo. Along with this, Serpaz has Murrit's filler account linked through hers (and vice versa), which seems to be something trolls do for their important relationships and quadrants.<br /> <br /> === Edolon Vryche===<br /> Serpaz considers [[Edolon Vryche|Edolon]] to be a nuisance and a creep, largely due to her distaste for the cult he follows on the account of how their vastly differing ideals on how to bring about laughter (Serpaz claims that they make liberal use of brainwashing to make people laugh). She finds his constant invitations to join his cult to be greatly annoying and wishes that he leave her alone.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * 'pliable' means 'able to be molded or altered', and 'decadence' means 'moral or cultural decline characterized by overindulgence in pleasure or luxury'.<br /> ** This could be a reference to both her title as a Witch of Doom, or her association with the element of gold which is notably both extremely pliable as a metal, and an extremely valuable luxury item on Earth.<br /> * The element gold is a central element in alchemy, having been considered by some to be the perfect element. It is the subject of numerous pursuits to artificially create it, most notably with the mythical philosopher's stone. In alchemical circles, it is commonly associated with the element lead, due to their similar densities, leading many to believe that lead was the perfect material to be used to create gold.<br /> ** This alchemical association with gold is brought up within Vast Error, specifically through Calder's Ancestor and Repiton's version of Winston Churchill: a yellow-blooded alchemist who had managed to turn his entire body into the rare element. He unfortunately accomplished this shortly before the element was made to be entirely obsolete and useless on Repiton, and left the alchemist in abject poverty and in horrible pain until his death, as he was unable to restore himself to his previous form.<br /> * Serpaz's love of comedy and her association with the element of Gold may relate to the term &quot;Comedy Gold&quot;.<br /> * While Laivan is constantly out of glue, Serpaz is constantly burdened with an overabundance of it. She regularly wonders why Laivan never asks her for any.<br /> ** Serpaz may or may not enjoy eating glue.<br /> * Serpaz is a Tealblood, a Derse dreamer and Hero of Doom, her true sign on Alternia would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Limini Limini, Sign of the Abider.]<br /> * Serpaz's entrance resembles Arcjec's, as they were both pushed into their entry portal by an outside force against their will, with one hand outstretched, which the camera focused on.<br /> *Serpaz runs a Filler account under the username topperflop.<br /> *Serpaz and Laivan are the same height of 5'7&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/179853813679/how-tall-are-all-the-characters-supposed-to-be}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=austinado|platform=discord|date=August 9th, 2022|quote=theres a decent few [trollodex card] errors that we just didnt catch for one reason or another: [...] serpaz is meant to be 5'7&quot; instead of 5'8&quot; (keeping this because its funny)|link=https://discord.com/channels/259021334804299786/747967215348875284/1006485578071670825}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Serpaz's favorite food is spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@avstinado|platform=twitter|date=Mar 11, 2021|link=https://x.com/avstinado/status/1369785935232122880}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Regarding music genres, Serpaz enjoys 80s, novelty/parody/comedy, and ska.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/176925769904/what-kinda-music-do-each-of-the-characters-like-0}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> **There's also a chart that Austin made sharing bands that Serpaz, Laivan, and Murrit all enjoy.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@avstinado|platform=twitter|date=June 9th, 2021|link=https://twitter.com/avstinado/status/1402575921064857601?s=20&amp;t=PGxG9s3S5lLkcQXcQwBBpw}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *She has a snort-laugh, as mentioned by Laivan in Act 3 Act 1.<br /> *Serpaz canonically has ADHD.<br /> *Serpaz is a bad driver.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Jan 24, 2024|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217062024/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111811609112313326}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Serpaz eats more glue than Jentha and Laivan.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Jan 26, 2024|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220105044/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111824072577775366}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Until her sigil was decided, Serpaz did not have any last name.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Jan 1, 2024|quote=serpaz didn't have a last name for a long time before we decided on her sigil.|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220195949/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111681183612002758}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *When replacing a lightbulb, Serpaz would remember her bulk box of lightbulbs that she’s bought and consider it was a worthy purchase.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 28, 2023|quote=[Serpaz] realizes she has a bulk box of lightbulbs that she bought from supermart ages ago and didnt need, but now that it has finally come in handy, knows her excessive purchase was worth it|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217035919/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Serpaz lands as a cat on the cat-to-dog spectrum.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 19, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217015836/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111604296377617919}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Serpaz would main [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Engineer Engineer] with [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Jag Jag] or [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Eureka_Effect Eureka Effect] weapons on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Fortress_2 Team Fortress 2].&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Apr 1, 2024|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220135841/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/112193200195085743}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Serpaz would main [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Luigi_(SSBU) Luigi], [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Banjo_%26_Kazooie_(SSBU) Banjo &amp; Kazooie] and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Mr._Game_%26_Watch_(SSBU) Mr. Game &amp; Watch] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate Super Smash Bros.

TiltNexus https://wiki.deconreconstruction.com/index.php?title=Albion_Shukra&diff=26957 2025-07-21T02:41:34Z

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}'''Albion Shukra''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|albion|demiurgeQuantified}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Copper and her horns curl all the way back into themselves. She is a deconstruction of the &quot;Always Perfect Mary Sue&quot; fantroll archetype.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> She was told she was the twelfth and final in a line of extraterrestrial prophets known as [[Star Children]], who spanned across several iterations of the [[Solitary Universe]] before the final one containing [[Repiton]]. She was supposedly destined to become a being of complete conciliation known as 'The Pure Oneself'. This was a lie told to her by her [[Star Guardian]] who made a promise to the true twelfth Star Child, [[Cyprim Shukra|The Exemplar]], to raise her under false terms and ensure she represses her emotions to make her more powerful during [[The Game]].<br /> <br /> She was the third troll introduced and the sixth troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The word ''albion'' refers to the name of a specific advanced equatorium (an instrument used to measure the relative positions of heavenly bodies without calculation) built by Richard of Wallingford in 1326. It was unique in its ability to predict eclipses in addition to being able to calculate lunar, solar and planetary longitudes. Her surname, Shukra, is a Sanskrit word that means &quot;lucid, clear, bright&quot;. It is also the name of an ancient sage who counseled Asuras in Vedic mythology, and the term for Venus in Hindu astrology.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Four Passes ===<br /> At four passes old, she was one of many children growing up under the care of Corporate and the associated Jadebloods. Despite being so young, she was a bit of a &quot;Voice of Reason&quot;, as seen when questioning [[Dismas Mersiv]]'s plans to visit [[Jentha Briati]] and when she held him back during her Nuclear Meltdown.<br /> <br /> Albion is first seen guiding Dismas into a detention mould after getting into an altercation with [[Murrit Turkin]]. From there, Albion is shown tagging along with Dismas' mission of visiting Jentha. <br /> <br /> It's during their sneak-out that Albion gains her first vision as a Seer by learning the passcode to Jentha's mould. <br /> <br /> === Six Sweeps ===<br /> Not much has been disclosed about Albion's history dating back this far. [[Arcjec Voorat]] states that as much as they bugged her about it, Albion never really participated in Arcjec's superhero roleplay. He also expresses that he believed her role as a Star Child was some grand backstory for her character. She is also seen in Arcjec's book during [S] Page 1079, illustrating mannerisms that are generally similar to the ones she exhibits currently. <br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> Shortly after her introduction, Albion uses her computer to enter [[The Cell]] after she is messaged by [[Taz Poemme]], who'd just dealt with a particularly frustrating exchange with Murrit. Murrit had told Taz about a strange game he'd help put together and that not only would she have to play, but she was also obligated to do it with Arcjec, Taz's former friend who had spent the better part of two years avoiding Taz after a bad blow-up between the two. After a mysterious comment made by Albion (albeit one made jokingly),<br /> <br /> Taz asks if Albion might know anything about it. Albion states that she does not she does not what Murrit might be planning but knows that the night was of great importance, as it was the night Repiton would finally crumble and the night she was expected to save it. Taz, a staunch non-believer of Albion's prophetic destiny dismisses the notion. Albion then repeats Murrit's sentiment and states that Taz really should try to reach out the Arcjec and finally try to work out their differences, instead of her merely trying to get his attention. Taz continues upset at the suggestion.<br /> <br /> Their conversation ends with Albion going over her destiny to merge with her lusus and salvage the remains of Repiton and the remaining troll species. Taz is left confused and concerned for her moirail. Albion later receives Murrit's memo pertaining to the game and its nature. Albion then speaks to her lusus, a [[Star Guardian]], as she prepares herself to merge with it. The Star Guardian then reveals that there's been a change of plan and that Repiton is meant for destruction, not salvation.<br /> <br /> Shocked at the horrible realization, Albion reaches out to [[Laivan Ferroo]], who is unfortunately away from his computer. She is then messaged by her matesprit, [[Sova Amalie]], concerned over Albion's apparent absence. Albion refuses to reply and involve her in troubles.<br /> <br /> Albion is then thrust back into her vision with her lusus, and she demands that the lusus explain itself. The Star Guardian repeats that Repiton is unavoidably doomed and that she is merely destined to leave it. The Star Guardian then tells her that it was fulfilling an obligation to Albion's predecessor -- her [[Ancestors|ancestor]] -- to set events into a course that would allow Albion's ancestor to briefly take control of Albion's body and message Dismas telling him of the importance of the events to come, and warn him to not &quot;follow credence of the [[White Noise|man who spins words like yarn]]&quot; and to stop &quot;the [[Ellsee Raines|limeblooded vessel]] to his heart&quot;. Albion is seen staring in astonishment in The Cell as her ancestor takes further control and shows her prophetic visions from the past, present, and future. She is included in {{VE|265|Murrit's memo}} during this, but doesn't respond. <br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> Albion was added into Ellsee's memo {{VE|448|{{VE quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}}}, but as pointed out by Sova, cannot join in on the conversation.<br /> <br /> Albion's ancestor -- [[Cyprim Shukra|The Exemplar]] -- speaks to Albion. She speaks of her own life, and her similar upbringing to Albion's, being told all her life that she was destined to bring about a better future, and similarly taught how to control her emotions; which The Exemplar studiously mastered. As she neared maturity she encountered [[White Noise]] in her meditation and was taken in to help set the proper conditions for the game that Albion and her friends would play, with promises of a grand future, similar to those spoken by her lusus. She speaks about her relationship with [[Zekura Raines|The Vivifier]] and their time together during [[The Renaissance]].<br /> <br /> The Exemplar used the remains on the power she was granted by White Noise pass on her abilities, as well as her attunement to The Cell and the Star Guardian onto Albion, so she would be able to speak to Albion in her lifetime. She once again warns Albion about The Game, White Noise, and the Vivifier's descendant; Ellsee, insisting that Ellsee be excluded from the game for everyone's sake, knowing that Ellsee will one day be used by White Noise against them. Albion is empathetic to her ancestor's plight but refuses to allow her to decide what's the best course of action for her, citing her lies thus far as a reason to distrust The Exemplar. The Exemplar tells an outraged Albion that she intentionally fed lies to Albion as a means to harden her so she would be better able to protect herself and her friends from what is to come. Furious, Albion punches her ancestor in the face.<br /> <br /> The Exemplar looks in horror, not at the aggression Albion showed, but because her former followers had finally found her in the [[Frog Temple]] and were bent on killing her. While The Exemplar is beaten and bleeding, she expresses that she wishes that she could have had more time with Albion before her death to make her understand what she told her, and saying that Albion will end up experiencing more pain than she could ever imagine and that she is sorry for that.<br /> <br /> The Star Guardian then instructs Albion to return to her world as they will leave together with the deceased form of The Exemplar to become one with the all mother and truly free. Albion tells them that she still needs help, as she now doesn't know what to do, which they reply that she has friends that share the same problem as hers and they will help her as much as she helps them too and there's a way to fix herself. Albion and The Star Guardian bid farewell to each other as Albion exits The Cell.<br /> <br /> She quickly messages Sova and apologizes to her for not responding earlier, then mentions that she doesn't want the position anymore. She apologizes once more as she was scared as to what Sova would feel about the whole ordeal. Sova quickly tells her that she wanted to be upset about it but cannot bring to do so, as she has taught her so many things that got her as to what she currently is and tells her that she loves her, which she too agrees.<br /> <br /> Albion enters in {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, though she was only shown on her denizen meeting platform.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> In Arcjec's reopened memo, {{VE|1704|{{VE quote|arcjec|XDXD Rebeating the dead omenbeast. XDXD}}}}, Albion is seen to be on her planet.<br /> <br /> On her planet [[Land of Asteroids and Runes]], Albion is seen translating [[Narayan Code|certain runes]], much to her own exhaustion. It's revealed in this segment that Albion, through her emotion auras, which were correlated to her mood ring, is now able to utilize them in ways she was not able to before, such as {{VE|2228|a certain weapon}} through fear and the ability to fly when stable. As she traverses the [[Abstruse Belt]], Albion ensues the promised pity party with Taz, in which they share one another's woes during their entries into The Game, Albion ending the conversation by leaving Taz to do tasks she admits to have been putting off, while Albion enters an asteroid with {{VE|2239|the Ichnographist}}. Right before Albion gets the chance to boast about her puzzle solving to Sova, {{VE|2244|she gets interrupted}} and is told that fights are about the passion, not glory.<br /> <br /> During Occeus' visit to [[Land of Spiral and Fracture]], he and Albion had a call to consult about a puzzle on LOSAF.<br /> <br /> As Serpaz greeted Sova on [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], it was shown that Albion was observing Serpaz's and Occeus' travels. Albion, on her planet, marks a link what seems to be between LOSAF, [[Land of Construct and Deluge]], [[Repiton]], [[Land of Wave and Record]] and LODAL on a map of the [[Incipisphere]]. Some time ebore this, Albion changed her appearance.<br /> <br /> At an unknown point later, Albion, standing in front of the Ichnographist, shields her eyes from the screen, where a large, colorful explosion is seen.<br /> <br /> == Personality and Traits ==<br /> Albion is a friendly and personable troll who has been noted as her friends' resident shoulder to cry on in times of need. When first introduced, she is a strong believer in the forces of fate and destiny. Having been told all her life that she is the twelfth and final incarnation in a line of inter-dimensional and extraterrestrial line of prophets, she's learned to take great stock in various forms of mystical and religious powers by keeping her body chemistry evened out. She also took great pride in crafting stories from the stars and crafting them in Repitonian Pre-Text to keep up the old traditions of planetary folklore. She has a thing for scented candles and bath bomb-like items called 'glop enhancers' as well. She also regularly translates scrolls for [[Sovara Amalie|Sova]].<br /> <br /> Prior to the events of the game, Albion was very excited for the promised day where will salvage Repiton and her friends from the end of the world (this day would actually end up being the day that she and her friends are meant to leave to enter the game).<br /> <br /> Upon discovering the truth of her supposed destiny and the fact that her Star Guardian had been lying to her all her life as a promise to her Ancestor. Albion is understandably outraged; outraged for the first time in many sweeps, even going through an identity crisis. She is further upset when she learns that her ancestor deliberately set up these lies as a means of conditioning Albion to be more powerful and as a means to prepare her for what is to come. While still kindly and empathetic, Albion shows are more aggressive and violent side of her personality, especially when she is speaking with her Ancestor.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> <br /> === Taz Poemme ===<br /> Albion is in a Moraillegence with [[Taz]], although their relationship fluctuates part-time into Auspisticism with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] on occasion. Taz has stated that she finds Albion to be a &quot;special kind of scary&quot; and &quot;perfect&quot;. Albion is notable among Taz's close relationships in that she is the only troll who is able to placate Taz's aggression, with Taz being outright gentle and thoughtful when interacting with Albion. Taz herself isn't sure how Albion manages to do this.<br /> <br /> Taz has specifically stated that she does not share Albion's religious beliefs and more or less thinks of them to be horseshit. This is likely due to Taz's own beliefs within the Mirthamaniacs.<br /> <br /> === Sova Amalie ===<br /> Albion is in a red relationship with [[Sova]]. She has been shown to care deeply about this relationship, even though she does not allow herself to show it or allow her to interfere in her personal matters. She also did not speak to her on the night she was meant to merge with her Star Guardian, showing she may be rather worried about getting her involved personally in her more serious affairs. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova finds. It has been confirmed that the two are unbonded, as they are still relatively new to being in a relationship.<br /> <br /> === Laivan Ferroo ===<br /> Although their relationship has not been elaborated on, Albion and [[Laivan]] appear to be on good terms and do message one another enough to where Albion feels comfortable in asking Laivan for help. Laivan appears to be quite concerned when she messages him in a panic, but disappears before he can respond.<br /> <br /> === Dismas Mersiv ===<br /> Albion appears to be fond of [[Dismas]], and he reciprocates this. This may be in part due to the fact that they were former classmates when they were attending school. Dismas is amicable with Albion, and is quite concerned when she behaves oddly when she is (unbeknown to him) possessed by her long-dead ancestor.<br /> <br /> === Occeus Coliad ===<br /> Due to the likely tumultuous relationship between Taz and [[Occeus]], as Taz's moirail, Albion is often pulled to act as the mediator when they enter the ashen quadrant. As the two have yet to interact in-comic, it is unknown what Albion and Occeus' relationship is like.<br /> <br /> === The Exemplar ===<br /> Due to the circumstances of their meeting, Albion is very angry and distrustful of her ancestor, [[Ancestors#The Exemplar|the Exemplar]] (a.k.a. Cyprim Shukra). The Exemplar uses [[the Cell]] to speak to Albion from her own time period, in an attempt to provide words of warning and advice to Albion in regards to The Game, but Albion -- having just learned that her lusus had lied to her her whole life, and that The Exemplar was responsible for all of it -- is outraged at her ancestor's lies and initially refuses to listen to her. Albion is however, sympathetic to her ancestor's plight after she is told of her life. Albion is further outraged when she learns that her ancestor was intentionally conditioning her to suppress her emotions through and hide herself away so her rage would be more potent.<br /> <br /> The Exemplar views her descendant in a somewhat maternal manner. Having been given the ability to see the future by White Noise, The Exemplar was shown the pain and suffering that Albion and her friends would go through in their lifetime, greater than any pain that the Exemplar would go through in her own life. Having been lied to and betrayed by those her she served and worked with, the Exemplar seeks to protect and prepare her descendant, through any means necessary, in hopes that her descendant can avoid her own pain from the very same people. When the Exemplar is found and killed by her former followers in her own time, The Exemplar expresses regret over not having had the chance to spend more time with Albion, and that she is sorry about all the pain Albion will endure.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Albion's [[Skorpe]] handle is demiurgeQuantified. This name has a few terms to it.<br /> ** A demiurge is &quot;a being who is responsible for the creation of a universe&quot; this refers to how Albion and the eleven others must resurrect [[Kheparia]] to restore her.<br /> ** The word quantified means &quot;to express or measure the quantity of&quot;<br /> ** The Skorpe handle demiurgeQuantified may mean &quot;a defined universe creator&quot;<br /> ** The word demiurge is an English word that comes from the Latinized Greek word 'demiurgus'. It was originally a noun meaning &quot;craftsman&quot; or &quot;artisan&quot; but soon came to mean &quot;provider&quot; and then &quot;creator&quot;<br /> * Albion likely had a different [[Skorpe]] handle in her youth, around the time of Jentha's departure from school. While the only {{VE|2039|mention}} of it is handwritten and partially obscured, her former handle can be inferred to be celestialProxy.<br /> ** The word &quot;celestial&quot; is used to describe anything of a heavenly nature, particularly as it relates to the divine.<br /> ** A &quot;proxy&quot; is an intermediary, i.e. one qualified to act on behalf of another.<br /> ** With these words placed together, Albion defines herself as one acting on behalf of the divine heavens, in reference to her status as a &quot;star child,&quot; and her believed destiny of becoming the &quot;Pure Oneself.&quot;<br /> * According to some strains of Gnosticism, the demiurge is malevolent as it is connected to the material world. This may point out the obvious fact that Albion is a physical being and not a spiritual one.<br /> ** The demiurge is not exactly the creator figure in the monothetic sense, due to the demiurge itself and the material that the demiurge uses to create a universe from are both consequences of &quot;something else&quot;. This &quot;something else&quot; may very well be referring to [[The Game]].<br /> ** The world that the demiurge creates is imperfect due to it being created in a chaotic environment. This may be a reference to how Kheparia's cycle always spawns new planets that end up slowly decaying, requiring the use of The Game while not necessarily being its true purpose.<br /> * Coincidentally, Albion's, [https://vast-error.wikia.com/wiki/Occeus_Coliad Occeus]'s, [https://vast-error.wikia.com/wiki/Laivan_Ferroo Laivan]'s, and [https://vast-error.wikia.com/wiki/Ellsee_Raines Ellsee]'s signs can be found on the cover of [https://www.google.com/search?q=clockwork+lives&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS817US817&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi96_S4uKzeAhXDTN8KHfuxCdsQ_AUIDigB&amp;biw=1920&amp;bih=969#imgrc=tHTsns0piFQclM: this graphic novel]<br /> * Albion is a Prospit dreamer, an oliveblood, and a Hero of Hope, meaning her extended zodiac sign would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Lenius Lenius, Sign of the Restless.].<br /> * Her mood ring is meant to show her emotions.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Ellsee Raines''', also known by their [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|ellsee|existereOracle}}, is one of the [[troll]]s and is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Mercury and her horns are long, thin and sharp. They are a deconstruction of the &quot;All Important Plot Character&quot; fantroll archetype, and they are the most important character in ''[[Vast Error]] ''according to [[White Noise]]. <br /> <br /> She, her [[Ancestors|ancestor]], and [[Lusus#Chimera lusus|her lusus]] are the only beings on [[Repiton]] to have ever had lime colored blood. Their blood has potent life-bearing properties and could be the secret towards gaining untethered immortality as expressed by [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]]. It could also potentially carry some sort of curse to those who have the blood in their system. <br /> <br /> She was the seventh troll introduced and the first troll introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. She was also the twelfth and final troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> The name ''Ellsee'' comes from Hebrew origin, meaning &quot;God is my oath&quot;. Ellsee is also a variant form of Elizabeth, meaning &quot;God's promise&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> <br /> === Six Sweeps ===<br /> Not much is currently known about Ellsee before the story begins. It is implied that they used to live with [[Arcjec Voorat]], however. Along with this, she was a member of his friend group. <br /> <br /> === Act 1 ===<br /> While wearing a dark full-body cloak, Ellsee was seen approaching Arcjec's hive and throwing a rock at his window. While seen to happen in Act 1, it's brought up that it happened right after Ellsee's introduction in Act 2.<br /> <br /> === Act 2 ===<br /> Ellsee is first introduced at the start of [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]], where they are sitting in their [[Ellsee's hive|tent/hive]]. She receives a message from her [[Quadrants|matesprit]] [[Occeus Coliad]], who she had messaged days ago and has only just responded. The two discuss the implications of Occeus' possible breakthrough in his work, apologizing for neglecting Ellsee. He emphasizes the importance of his work to revitalize the planet, and Ellsee voices support, but is left feeling insecure. Out of a feeling of inadequacy and loneliness, they reach out to Arcjec, asking him if they are likeable. Arcjec, despite insisting that he's the last person anyone should seeking out for advice, offers some anyway. The conversation leads to Ellsee to find the resolve to finally meet Arcjec in person and introduce herself properly. <br /> [[File:Pg21.png|left|thumb|175x175px|Ellsee hiding from Arcjec.]]<br /> After arriving at [[Arcjec's hive]], Ellsee tries to get his attention at his window by throwing a rock. The shock of seeing an unknown troll at his window leads Arcjec to fall out of his second floor window into the mud below and passing out. <br /> <br /> Ellsee loses her nerve and begins to walk home, but quickly circles back around when she sees that a meteor is flying towards it. They find his hive in shambles, but bizarrely mostly intact, with Arcjec nowhere to be found. She then learns of the game and the fact that [[Murrit Turkin]] had intended to exclude her from it. They return to their hive and reach out to Occeus again in a panic. Occeus tries to comfort a distressed Ellsee until he reads the memo himself.<br /> <br /> Occeus is distressed at the absurdity, yet possible reality of the situation presented by [[The Game]] and the fact that it necessitates abandoning [[Repiton]] and making all his work to save it irrelevant. Having learned that he's meant to work with [[Calder Kerian]] in the game, an outraged Occeus messages the sea dweller. As Occeus fumes, Ellsee is left in the dark. She messages Murrit for answers, but he coldly tells her that he knows that she cannot be trusted, and for everyone else's sake, that she should get lost. Realizing that they won't be getting any help for the time being, they try to forget that conversation.<br /> <br /> Shortly after, Ellsee message Arcjec and is relieved when she gets a response from him. The two discuss the events of the night, with Ellsee forced to admit that they know more than they've let on to Arcjec. As the conversation ends, Arcjec tells Ellsee that when things have calmed down, they should meet and just hang out, and that she should tell him what she's been meaning to say.<br /> <br /> Ellsee makes their own memo and pointed includes everyone, attempting to share their own knowledge of the game that they obtained through a cryptic old book they inherited from their [[Ancestors|ancestor]]. [[Sova Amalie]] chimes in with her own theories and mentions that she has encountered similarly cryptic scrolls that appear to pertain to the game as well. However, Murrit immediately leaves the memo after it is made, and Calder and [[Taz Poemme]] don't take long to follow suit out of their own dislike of Ellsee. Additionally, the whole memo quickly goes off topic. [[Laivan Ferroo]] later mentions to Murrit that Ellsee had told Laivan that she was quite personally hurt when Murrit left the memo.<br /> <br /> They later frantically messaged Occeus, telling him that after they had responded to him, they went to Arcjec's hive again only to find out that his hive is in shambles and a huge meteor was heading towards it. She then tells him that she quickly went inside, in hopes of finding and save him only to find out that he was nowhere to be seen and his lusus was screaming for his owner. They also tell him about Murrit's memo that they had been excluded from, the Game, and that he will be working with Calder.<br /> <br /> Ellsee is included in Arcjec's memo and angrily responds to Murrit's message.<br /> <br /> Ellsee has entered the game as of {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}; however neither her land or platform are shown.<br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1 ===<br /> <br /> Ellsee appeared in one of Murrit's flashbacks, wherein they were doing a ritual before an unknown event had happened, which made Murrit scared of them and decide to keep them out of the game.<br /> <br /> Finally, Ellsee is on screen again not too long after the start of [[Vast Error: Act 3, Act1|Act 3 Act 1]], where they participate in Arcjec's memo. Though she doesn't respond until she's tagged by Arcjec, who demands to know where she is and what she's doing. Ellsee reveals that after all of the portal hopping they'd been doing, they were exhausted and took a nap in the snow in their land. Later in the memo, they talk to Occeus about the work they had done together to work towards making Repiton more liveable, and if that work meant anything.<br /> <br /> After, a flashback is shown of what Ellsee was up to before the memo started. Her land is finally named the [[Land of Vigor and Tundra]], and she proceeds to fall asleep on the snow, just like she said she did. <br /> <br /> Ellsee dreams of the past, when they lived with Arcjec, and the things they did together. Ellsee and Arcjec are shown dancing together before Arcjec stumbles, causing them both to fall down in a fit of laughter. Arcjec says he's hungry, so the two of them go and get food. Ellsee discusses how she forages for food, and Arcjec lightheartedly argues that the natural food she brought is gross. Ellsee insists that they prefer their organic foods over Arcjec's processed food, and the conversation shifts. Arcjec compliments Ellsee's new look, saying that it's coming along nicely and that it suits them. She's is very happy about this, and she states that she agrees. Ellsee briefly mentions that it took her a while to find a look she was comfortable with, but that she's happy with her appearance now. The topic changes and they discuss Arcjec's cancelled plans, which he seems to be unbothered by. Ellsee talks about how they wish they could go with Arcjec, but they're not allowed to. The two of them go back and forth about Arcjec being allowed to go to the stronghold while Ellsee has to stay at home, and Arcjec suggests sneaking them out. They decline the offer, saying they'd both get in trouble, and Arcjec agrees that they're probably right. Ellsee stays silent for a moment while Arcjec draws. Finally, she asks them how they're always okay with everything, including bad things like their cancelled plans. Arcjec thinks for a moment, before saying that he doesn't have an answer. He says that he just is the way he is, and Ellsee is just the way she is, and that's okay. Ellsee reveals that she wishes she was more like them, since they have friends and get to go out and do things. Arcjec argues that those are their friends too, but Ellsee insists that they're only really there for him. Arcjec doesn't let that slide, however, and he proceeds to talk about how Ellsee is great. He promises that even if everyone else forgets how amazing they are, he won't. Arcjec stumbles over their words, but tells Ellsee that they're a family, which makes her happy. <br /> <br /> Ellsee's dream is promptly interrupted by White Noise. They fall into [[The Static]], where they see Bonehilda and Boner, and finally White Noise himself. He asks if Ellsee remembers him, but she just gets startled. She throws her staff at him, causing his left arm to fall off. <br /> <br /> ==Personality and Traits==<br /> Ellsee is a rather eclectic troll with similarly eclectic interests. She is a practitioner of potion-crafting and various forms of magic. They are however a strong opponent of fortune telling and considers anyone who claims any knowledge of the future to be a charlatan, despite having possibly practised it themself in the past. She is also a dancer by trade.<br /> <br /> As the only living troll on Repiton to have her blood color, she lives a nomadic life on the road, discretely avoiding the undue attention of anyone who would want to get their hands on her blood's life-giving properties. This kind of life has led them to become a staunch survivalist.<br /> <br /> The neglect she faces from Occeus' workaholic tendencies have lead her to become somewhat insecure, exacerbated by the natural physical withdrawal she faces as a result of her not seeing her partner in some time (a result of sexual intimacy in Repitonian trolls).<br /> <br /> ==Relationships ==<br /> <br /> ===Occeus Coliad===<br /> [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] is Ellsee's [[Quadrants|matesprit]], and they are one of the few trolls in the cast to have [[Troll#Bonding|bonded]] with one another.<br /> <br /> Due to Occeus' workaholic nature and his desperation to preserve his planet, Occeus is unfortunately rather neglectful of Ellsee, leaving them to suffer from symptoms not unlike withdrawal in his absence (as is the case for Repitonian trolls who have been intimate with another and do not see each other for extended periods of time). Occeus regrets this, and realizes that Ellsee deserves better, but will nonetheless prioritize his work over her. This neglect has left Ellsee to feel increasingly insecure in Occeus' absence. <br /> <br /> Ellsee often volunteers the use of her lime blood for Occeus to use in his biological experiments, due to the blood's unique life-bearing properties. Occeus is the only troll that Ellsee trusts with her blood.<br /> <br /> When the two were young and before Occeus became the workaholic he is now, Ellsee and Occeus spent more time together in-person. Because they weren't able to go out in public, they found their own activities, such as dancing.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|date=Dec 23, 2023|quote=[Ellsee and Occeus] obviously can't go out for fun, so instead they made their own. [...] i've always thought that they danced together, and that they found each other in the music.|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217023852/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111627800112313728}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Arcjec Voorat===<br /> Ellsee is not bothered by [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec's]] cantankerous attitude or even his depressive apathy, and seems to be genuinely fond of him, to the point that they actually find his insults to be kind of funny. She is even comfortable enough to reach out to Arcjec for advice despite Arcjec insisting that he isn't the best moral support (he tries to give her advice anyway). <br /> <br /> The two appear to share some sort of deeper connection that Arcjec isn't aware of. Ellsee often tries to introduce themself to him, but regularly fails to do so out of nervousness.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> <br /> '''Jentha Briati''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|jentha|furbishFacilitated}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is [[Wikipedia:Tin|Tin]], and she is a deconstruction of the &quot;useless&quot; fantroll archetype.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Jentha's [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is nuclear discharge, but it seems mostly inactive right now after repression.<br /> <br /> She was the twelfth troll introduced and the ninth troll to enter the game. <br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The surname Briati most likely comes from Sanskrit term ''brhati'', a drug used within a branch of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] which attempted to increase life span and strength, but as a feminine adjective, the word also means various synonyms of strength.<br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> ===Four passes===<br /> Jentha's early life is revealed in a flashback segment in Act 3 Act 1. {{VE|1911|Jentha was kept in high-level containment}} due to her extremely powerful survival ability, which allowed her to discharge and manipulate nuclear energy inherent to her cells. At an early age, it discharged automatically, prompting the reduplication cavern staff to keep her separate from other trolls her age, something that [[The Principal]] {{VE|1920|sought to make up for in some way}}.<br /> <br /> Jentha met [[Dismas Mersiv]] during his time in school after he was sent to detention for a fight with [[Murrit Turkin]]. Instead of being connected with a teacher to write an apology note, the Principal connects Dismas with Jentha and they have {{VE|1926|a conversation}}, most likely the first Jentha has ever had with a troll her own age at the time, which she begins by correcting Dismas's typing errors. The two grew close over these messages, leading Dismas to recruit [[Albion Shukra]] in a mission to get Jentha out of her mould and take her to the playgrounds. On their way, it is revealed that Murrit had been tailing them the whole time, taking necessary steps to ensure they weren't caught by acting from the shadows. He uses this as leverage to convince them to let him join them, to which they all reluctantly agree.<br /> <br /> After playing for some time, Murrit pushes Dismas off a construct, greatly upsetting Jentha and {{VE|1968|causing her survival ability to explode}} due to her lack of control over her emotions. This causes a massive incident that results in the deaths of several students and staff at the hands of a [[Lusus#Skulltitan_lusus|skulltitan]], whom Jentha inadvertently grants power with her nuclear energy. Dismas distracts the lusus from attacking Jentha in a show of grubhood bravery as the Principal arrives to resolve the situation. Dismas is sent off to the dunes with the skulltitan through an application of [[Alchemy|Space alchemy]], and Jentha is put to sleep by another type of alchemy.<br /> <br /> Following the incident, priority was set on repressing Jentha's survival ability as hard as possible, leaving her severely traumatized and disabled (eyesight issues, a stutter, debilitating anxiety and depression). <br /> <br /> ===Six sweeps===<br /> Once she reached six sweeps, she was sent off to live in an apartment in Stronghold 21 before deciding to instead wander the world for anywhere to fit in. She settled in the utopian ruins of [[The Renaissance]], the same place turned to ash by [[Mosura Briati|her ancestor]] sweeps prior, where she meets a [[Lusus#Metamorphier lusus|metamorphier lusus]] that takes her in. The lusus {{VE|2051|weaves a cocoon for themself}} shortly after, and is yet to emerge.<br /> <br /> Jentha, all alone with nothing left, had already resigned herself to the fact that she was going to die alone before Dismas was led right to her by Murrit under the guise of an assassination mission. From then on, the two '''{{VE Quote|wn|found solace in each other}}''', entering a [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirallegiance]].<br /> <br /> ===Act 2===<br /> Jentha's first spoken line happens during one of [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee Raines's]] memos, {{VE|448|{{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}}}, when Jentha accidentally sends the letter &quot;h&quot; into the chat. The two have a humorous exchange in which Jentha silences and unsilences herself multiple times, before she finally bans herself from the memo altogether.<br /> <br /> After her proper introduction, Jentha is interrupted from watching [[Turnin Kaikai|a stream]] when [[Occeus Coliad]] messages her, seeking advice about his personal woes. Later, she is brought into a Skorpe call with Dismas and Murrit after her moirail's altercation with his [[Lusus#Skulltitan_lusus|lusus]], Murrit having sent her into a panic by claiming that Dismas was dead. Dismas calms Jentha down and Jentha berates Murrit for their behavior as Murrit loads Dismas onto an ore-powered minecart to get him back to his hive in time to be their server player.<br /> <br /> Later, Jentha tries to assist [[Sova Amalie]] with her entry, whacking the [[Homunculi|inky creatures]] who are harassing her with some of the Game's pillars in an effort to drive them away. Panicked, Jentha messages Occeus to ask for help , but her attention is drawn away before he can respond: a glowing light shines behind her, taking the form of [[Af]], the [[Denizen]] of Light, much to her starstruck wonder and the annoyance of [[White Noise]], who bemoans the denizen's tendency to &quot;go off script&quot;.<br /> <br /> During the events of {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, Jentha is led through utopian ruins as Af sets up her portal for her. They activate it, prompting Jentha to follow, and she is taken into her fully formed [[Land of Tall Grass and Sunflowers|land]], a planet comprised of grassy fields with yellow flowers and bright blue skies. Her platform and talk with her denizen are not shown.<br /> <br /> ===Act 3 Act 1===<br /> In the reopened memo {{VE|1703|{{VE quote|arcjec|XDXD Rebeating the dead omenbeast. XDXD}}}} created by [[Arcjec Voorat]], {{VE|1705|Jentha complains}} about being dragged into [[The Game]] and her planet, calling it a {{VE quote|jentha|like a p playground for grubbies}}. <br /> <br /> Jentha wanders her planet only to find no possible means of progress, {{VE|1895|finally relenting and asking Af for assistance}}. They talk at length about Jentha's land and the fact that it was designed with no way to progress intentionally, as Jentha's quest will be much different from everyone else's. Af plans to give Jentha the final land quest task right out the gate and allow Jentha to achieve [[Pure Self|self-actualization]] much sooner than everyone else.<br /> <br /> Af proceeds to remark on the traumatic nature of Jentha's past, something she had seemingly either forgotten about or chose to pretend never happened, which segues directly into her recollecting her {{VE|1907|aforementioned backstory}}.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and Traits==<br /> Jentha is a reserved and anxious troll who lives closed off to the outside world, being described by White Noise as {{VE Quote|wn|incredibly hard to find on many occasions}}. Her lost survival ability coupled with the absent nature of her lusus have left her with a persistent feeling of helplessness and uselessness. Nonetheless, she tends to be bitter and insulting when talking to most people, possibly as a way to overcompensate for her anxiety - a fact which she's shown being regretful of on certain occasions. Jentha often tries to be as unpleasant to talk to as possible when she wants to be left alone, which is a fairly common occurrence, as Jentha has thin patience for people that are not Dismas.<br /> <br /> She collects and cares for &quot;outcast&quot; toys, notably a collection of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furby furbies]. Due to having a lot of time to herself, she also has great skill in board games, along with a selection of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SpongeBob_SquarePants_Movie best] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hedge_(film) movies] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes:_Back_in_Action made]. She seems to harbor a &quot;nursery&quot; of toys for kids and other nostalgic interests. <br /> <br /> == Relationships==<br /> <br /> ===Dismas Mersiv===<br /> [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and Jentha are in a moirallegiance, and their relationship is notably Jentha's only known committed relationship. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, she is much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he is very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. The two are very close and openly worry for the other's well being. <br /> <br /> Dismas also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own, a fact she is extremely grateful of. <br /> <br /> ===Murrit Turkin===<br /> Jentha is often frustrated and distrustful of [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]], due to his frequent antagonization of Dismas. She finds them to be obnoxious and annoying, but seems to have no problem with putting her foot down on behalf of her moirail when she feels the situation calls for it, outright insulting and calling the seadweller out whenever they act particularly terrible. Despite this, she doesn't seem to truly hate Murrit, thinking of her as an overbearing &quot;stupidhead&quot; rather than a malicious person. <br /> <br /> ===Occeus Coliad===<br /> [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] is Jentha's server player. She doesn't care much for him, having told him to go &quot;jump off a cliff&quot; when he came to her in distress. Occeus doesn't seem to pick up on the fact she's intentionally rude toward him, interpreting her snide comments as genuine, heartfelt advice. Despite her demeanor, he seems to put trust into Jentha, and when under enough stress, Jentha admits that she needs his help and feels guilty about being rude toward him before.<br /> <br /> ===Sova Amalie===<br /> [[Sova Amalie|Sova]] is Jentha's client player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as {{VE Quote|jentha|the one who c cares so much about e everyone}}.<br /> <br /> ===Arcjec Voorat===<br /> While not much is known between Jentha and [[Arcjec]] as of right now, it can be deduced the two do actively talk with one another in some capacity. In the memo {{VE|1706|{{VE quote|arcjec|XDXD Rebeating the dead omenbeast. XDXD}}}} Jentha mentions an unfinished [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funko funko] trade with them and on [https://web.archive.org/web/20250217014346/https://retrospring.net/@austinado Austin's Retrospring], it's said that the two exchange opinions about certain media that Arcjec keeps away from everyone else.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=17 Dec, 2023|quote=[Arcjec] keeps his opinions close to the chest when talking to most of the others except jentha. those two will find something completely unimportant and then tear it to shreds.|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220144613/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111593059074135371}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Jentha is canonically asexual, as confirmed by the ''DCRC'' official Tumblr.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|date=12 Jun, 2019|quote=jentha is asexual!|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/185536799269/is-jentha-aroace}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Being a Derse dreamer, a yellowblood and a Hero of Light, Jentha's would-be extended zodiac sign is [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Gempia Gempia, Sign of the Perspicacious.]<br /> *Jentha runs a [[Filler]] account under the username grembox.<br /> **The account uniquely does not list pronouns, whereas everyone else's accounts do (Calder's Sideline account being the exception).

His associated alchemic sigil is Magnesium, though a modified version of the symbol.

The only technical definition one can conclude is the inclusion of ''rat'' in the surname, which can be associated with slang that means 'one who frequents a specific place' and Arcjec's solitude in their hive.<br /> <br /> == Biography==<br /> <br /> ===Early life===<br /> Arcjec was much more outgoing and enthusiastic in their youth, if somewhat naïve. Raised together and initially sharing the same [[Lusus|lusii]] as [[Ellsee Raines]], the two viewed each other as siblings and part of the same family. During this period of time, Arcjec was interested in comic books, superheroes and pop culture, as well as drawing, cosplaying and scrapbooking. <br /> <br /> After a series of cascading events involving his falling out with [[Taz Poemme]] and Ellsee's extended leave for training, Arcjec fell into a deep period of apathy and resentment, pushing all of his friends away and retreating into himself. They also forgot about their relationship with Ellsee entirely, which resulted in anger and confusion on their end when she came back from her training.<br /> <br /> He seems to have been the &quot;glue&quot; holding their friend group together, having been depicted throughout the comic engaging in many different activities with the great majority of the main cast.<br /> <br /> ===Act 1===<br /> Arcjec is first introduced in his respiteblock. As he goes over his possessions, he is interrupted by a rock hitting his block's window. Choosing to investigate the strange occurrence, the sight of a hooded troll lurking near his hive sends him into a panic, during which he is messaged by [[Laivan Ferroo]]. Laivan invites them to play a game of [[Anthropormuncipality]] with him and [[Murrit Turkin]], but Arcjec refuses, brushing his friend off, and requests that he let Taz know that {{VE Quote|arcjec|the mutilation fairy finally granted her long awaited wish}} in the event of their disappearance.<br /> <br /> In an attempt to get a better look at the mysterious troll, Arcjec ends up falling out their second-floor window, landing on a mud puddle outside and passing out. They have a cryptic dream in which they stand in the middle of [[the Static]], briefly glimpsing [[White Noise]] before they jolt awake. <br /> <br /> During their short nap, Laivan's [[Dream Self|dream self]] visits Arcjec's own dream self, still asleep on [[Prospit]]. It glitches out, momentarily reverting to a happier, younger Arcjec when Laivan touches him.<br /> <br /> After waking up, Arcjec finds himself back inside his room. Surrounding him are the many piles of scattered drawings he makes in his sleep, something that has been a regular occurrence for some time. The newest one has [[The Game|The Game's]] symbol drawn on it, along with a message: &quot;It's the only way.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:Pg271.png|left|thumb|Arcjec being forced out of his window to look at the incoming meteor.|alt=]]<br /> They are then accosted by an agitated Taz, who manages to convince Arcjec to collaborate by showing them Murrit's memo and the meteor hurtling towards their hive. After a few spats, Arcjec realizes that the symbols they've been writing in their sleep are connected to the game, which they encourage Taz to input on her end. This grants her access to a set of objects, and the duo has one final fraught conversation about their past before they decide it's better if they do not speak again once Arcjec's entry is complete. <br /> <br /> During the events of {{VE|310|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Arcjec: Enter.}}, Taz places a series of pillars and an archway around his hive, along with a mysterious chest inside his respiteblock. Arcjec opens the chest, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that sends him hurtling out of his room. He stops right in front of the archway, now activated into a portal. Taz then pushes Arcjec inside it with the Game cursor, sending him into [[the Medium]] and completing his entry process. The pillars around Arcjec's hive divert the oncoming meteor away and into [[Skaia]]'s shield, preventing the hive's complete destruction.<br /> <br /> ===Act 2===<br /> From the past perspective of [[Ellsee Raines]], Arcjec is shown having a conversation with her moments before the start of Act 1. She worries that she is needy and unlikable, and he offers a half-hearted attempt at advice. Amused but nonetheless touched, Ellsee decides that they will finally introduce themself to Arcjec and explain their deeper connection. It's then revealed that she was the mysterious troll that threw a stone at Arcjec's window. <br /> <br /> Back to the present, Arcjec lands on a gray platform inscribed with the [[Aspect|Breath]] symbol, floating in a blank, stark white void. The powerful winds seen during Arcjec's entry then transform into the denizen of Breath, [[Zehanpuryu]]. <br /> [[File:Pg375.png|thumb|192x192px|One of the only times Arcjec has smiled.]]<br /> Zehanpuryu introduces Arcjec to the game and its purpose, pledging himself as their guide. He states that Arcjec is the Bard of Breath and urges them to find him again when they are stronger. He inserts himself within the Breath platform and changes the blank planet around them into the newly formed [[Land of Mirage and Monochrome]].<br /> <br /> As Arcjec looks around their new surroundings, they are approached by one of the planet's [[consorts]]: a bright, vibrant snake who directs them to a newly formed terminal by their denizen platform. The terminal allows Arcjec to access his game UI and Skorpe, where he finds messages from Taz and Ellsee both. He only answers the latter, and the two catch up. Ellsee admits that she knows more than she's previously let on, having seen the Game codes in a book that she has had her whole life. Arcjec closes the conversation by telling Ellsee to meet up with him when things are less hectic.<br /> <br /> He then speaks with the multicolored snake consort, accidentally naming him &quot;Guy&quot;. [[Guy]] tells Arcjec to prepare a [[Scythekind|weapon]], as he is bound to face monsters on his journey, and Arcjec equips his scythe before taking the first steps of his journey on LOMAM.<br /> <br /> After following the path for a while, Arcjec and Guy find a consort village up in flames, being ravaged by a powerful shape-shifting monster known as a Shifter. Two other consorts, [[Consorts|Lady]] and [[Consorts|Person]], beg Arcjec to stop the monster before it burns down the entire town. <br /> <br /> Overwhelmed, Arcjec freezes in place. He then finds himself in a featureless &quot;mind space&quot;, greeted by younger version of himself: Kidjec. He tells Arcjec that it's okay to leave, that it isn't fair of the snakes to expect him to solve their problems. Arcjec, in turn, worries about his past choices and wishes they could do something for the people around them, since saving people was all they ever wanted to do when they were young.<br /> <br /> Kidjec argues that acting on those impulses will only make him and those around him miserable, growing increasingly aggravated. He says that Arcjec should {{VE Quote|arcjec|just leave!!!}} and that every single time he tries to help someone, all he does is hurt them. Arcjec falls to their knees, their nose bleeding profusely as the mindspace seems to fall apart at the seams.<br /> <br /> Guy then snaps Arcjec back into reality by calling out to him, the troll having gone into a trance for the duration of his conversation with Kidjec. Finding his conviction renewed, Arcjec promises to protect his consorts and prepares for battle.<br /> <br /> During {{VE|641|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Engage.}}, Arcjec is shown battling the Shifter, managing to defeat it with the usage of his survival ability and the help of his planet's [[Aspect|Winds]]. Their consorts are elated, gifting them with a variety of crafting resources and directing them to their checkpoint near the town square. <br /> <br /> On Prospit, Arcjec, Laivan and Albion's dream selves meet up and chat, Arcjec's dream self having woken up off-screen since the last time they were shown. The trio flies over the buildings as Dream!Laivan explains the concept behind their existence and what they're supposed to do for their players. After the discussion, he offers a grand tour of the dream moon, which Dream!Arcjec and Dream!Albion accept with varying levels of excitement. <br /> <br /> [[File:BeatsTakingTheSubway.gif|left|thumb|220x220px|Arcjec's first craft: Beats Taking the Subway]]<br /> Back on LOMAM, Arcjec arrives at the town square, where he is greeted by [[Metatron]]. As the built-in player guide to the Game, he explains several mechanics that will be vital to their progress, including the crafting system, the checkpoints and the gates that connect all of their planets together. He also gives Arcjec a welcome gift: a portable communicator they can use to keep in touch with the rest of their session. Metatron then coaches Arcjec through their first item creation: the Beats Taking The Subway scythe.<br /> <br /> Further into their conversation, Metatron tells Arcjec that he needs to connect to the hero of life, Ellsee. Metatron comments on the two's relationship saying that they seem close, but Arcjec quickly brushes it off and changes the subject again. Metatron moves on saying that everything he's done with Arcjec is all he needs from him and that once the planets align then the initial stretch of Arcjec's journey will be complete. Metatron finally leaves in a puff of smoke, but not before he tells Arcjec that they're doing amazing so far. <br /> <br /> Arcjec decides to open a new memo to make sure the rest of his friends are up to speed. He tells them that his DMs are now open, and that everyone should share their game progress so far, letting them know that he's already made it to his first checkpoint.<br /> <br /> Taz is the first one to respond. They bicker for a short while, before she tells him that she's stuck and can't make any more progress without going over to his planet. This leads to the two having a conversation of reconciliation, in which Arcjec apologizes for ignoring her messages, saying that he wasn't trying to make her upset and only needed some breathing room. She accepts their apology, and they agree to work together from this point on.<br /> <br /> Albion and Ellsee quickly follow in their responses, the latter informing the others of the [[Homunculi|purple-eyed demons]] that have started interfering with their entries. Albion believes that they're under someone's control, and that she briefly spoke to [[Edolon Vryche|the man]] behind it. When Murrit and Calder join the conversation, it devolves into an argument about Murrit's attempted assassination of Ellsee through his [[boobdrone]]s. Everyone is appalled by their actions, and Calder's further needling drives Murrit to drop their persona, withdrawing from the memo after telling everyone that they {{VE Quote|murrit|&gt;([don't know what you just brought in with you.]}}. Albion asks if they should keep an eye on her, but Arcjec says that they already have their hands full as it is. He warns them that things are about to get messy and closes the memo.<br /> <br /> Immediately afterward, Arcjec messages Ellsee, concerned about her apparent alliance with Calder. The conversation quickly devolves into lighthearted bickering as she brushes him off, and the two decide to get on with her entry by opening the Game's tutorial. On Arcjec's end, it has been updated with new information to reflect Ellsee's unique entry process: their job is to bring [[Repiton]] into [[The Medium]] by activating a series of pillars they are to place around the planet. <br /> <br /> Through some nudging, Arcjec manages to get Ellsee to explain the most outlandish aspects of their past, including the supernatural qualities of their staff, their talking [[Lusus#Chimera lusus|lusii]] and the magical book inherited from their [[Zekura Raines|ancestor]]. They're skeptical but curious, and Ellsee asks them to just trust her. He concedes, going back to their entry preparations before noticing that Possumdad is safe and sound by Ellsee's tent.<br /> <br /> Arcjec asks if things are ready after Ellsee activates the portal leading to the first location. Arcjec informs her that he's going to go in order of what's closest to her, however, he also informs her that he doesn't know the exact coordinates and that there's no zoom option on his application. Ellsee voices her concerns on not wanting to go to Stronghold 21 due to the risk of becoming a walking target, most likely due to her blood color. Arcjec attempts to gives her advice, telling Ellsee to take a deep breath and move forward anyways. Arcjec ends up messing up the coordinates and Ellsee walks directly into the Stronghold square. which leads to Arcjec figuratively and literally beginning to beat himself up about being terrible at lying. Arcjec begins to ramble to himself in nervousness and annoyance as Ellsee panics, but quickly begins to focus again working with what he's got. Ellsee preforms magic tricks with her staff to keep the crowd distracted as Arcjec and drops the first pillar in the middle of the plaza. She quickly dives out of the way of the massive pillar before activating it and leaving rapidly. Ellsee tumbles back through the portal to her hive, exhausted. She decides to dance out her frustrations and Arcjec joins in with her. He tells her to pretend that never happened and to not mention it ever again. Ellsee asks if he had fun listening to her music which he reluctantly confirms that he did. They tell Ellsee that they'll make up for what they did with the last pillar.<br /> <br /> Arcjec goes back to check on his hive, which is now a wreck with a hole going through the wall of his room and demons all around it. They move their cursor to go inside their messy hive, collectibles strewn all over the place. They grab a [[Sylladex#Replica Replica|replica]] of their [[Sylladex#Replica|replica fetch modus]] to give Ellsee, in which she captchalogues her book, which unbeknownst to her results in a revised and corrupted version. She gets back to work with Arcjec after resting, with him promising to try his best to be there for her through the whole thing. Ellsee again repeats her nervousness, wondering everything was going to be okay, and Arcjec tells her that she's going to have to trust him.<br /> <br /> During the events of {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, Arcjec and Ellsee continue to work together with him placing down the pillars and her going through the portals and activating them. The portals take her to the Northern Wastes, Kenede Spaceport, Bizkantine Ruins, and the Black Depths. All but one of the planets connect and Repiton makes the jump as the pillars activate and Arcjec sighs in relief as Ellsee's [[Lilith|Denizen]] is released and she enters the Medium.<br /> <br /> ===Post-EOA2===<br /> As Taz makes her first foray into Arcjec's planet, she stumbles across a scene from her youth, brought to life through LOMAM's mechanics: her, Ellsee, Laivan and Arcjec, back when they were children, on the day when Arcjec asked Taz if she thought they were going to be friends forever. <br /> <br /> After she spends some time reminiscing, Arcjec finds Taz, snapping her out of the flashback. He greets her with a smile and reassures her that he's right there, and the two of them walk off together. <br /> <br /> ===Act 3 Act 1===<br /> On the day following the Players' entry into the Medium, Arcjec reopens their old memo in order to keep the group up to date on their individual progress on their planets. Albion is the first to respond, claiming they met on Prospit not too long ago, but Arcjec doesn't seem remember it very clearly. Eventually, the group discusses the current situation on [[Repiton]], the [[Harbingers of the Alpocalypse|Harbingers]] and [[Mirthamaniacs]] storming [[Stronghold 21]] and the state of chaos the planet's entry into the Game has caused. Throughout the memo, Arcjec tags Murrit multiple times, who only responds to fall back into the same deflective patterns. They then ban themself from it, much to Arcjec's exasperation. <br /> <br /> Later, Ellsee is seen falling asleep in the snow on her planet after the exhausting task of entering the game. She appears to have a flashback of her and Arcjec in his hive, dancing around together. Arcjec bumps into Ellsee which leads to both of them falling on the floor laughing together. Arcjec says he's hungry which leads to Ellsee and him into the kitchen. Both Arcjec and Ellsee are seen talking about Ayala and Ari, two heads of Ellsee's lusus. Arcjec compliments Ellsee on how her new look is coming along and saying that she seems happier. The conversation turns into Ellsee complaining about how she can't go out and do things like how Arcjec can. Arcjec offers to try and find a way to sneak her out, but she refuses. Ellsee questions Arcjec about how he seems content with what is happening to the both of them. He pauses to think, but overall reassures her that everything is okay and that he'll always be here for her because they're family.<br /> <br /> When Ellsee talks to White Noise, they discuss that in the past Arcjec acted differently towards everyone including Ellsee after her training. People tried getting to him, but he wouldn't budge. He was scared and angry, yelled and refused to listen to anything. However, Arcjec never changed his trolltag when they moved over to Skorp, so Ellsee found their Skorp attempted to act like a different person in order to contact him. White Noise has also attempted to speak to him, but it seems all Arcjec does is mumble to something and draw symbols. He doesn't know what's happened to Arcjec, but believes that something has gotten inside their head.<br /> <br /> As Calder explored his own planet, [[Land of Murk and Quagmire]], {{VE|2217|Arcjec started messaging him}}. The two discussed Calder's reputation in the group and change before Arcjec apologized to Calder for being distant and offered help with betterment. {{VE|2221|Calder rejected this offer}}, to which Arcjec accepted the choice and reminded Calder that he will pay close attention to him before ending the conversation. <br /> <br /> In the middle of Murrit's crafting session, {{VE|2134|Arcjec messages her}}, asking her to stop crafting low-grade items. Arcjec also witnesses {{VE|2173|the trade between Taz and Murrit for the Morning of 4 Ft. 2}} from the same crafting session.<br /> <br /> After various puzzle solving and crafting off-screen, Arcjec and Taz are noted to regain some trust between eachother. {{VE|2434|We see both of them on Taz's planet}}, [[Land of Growth and Gravity]], specifically in it's second stratum, in the middle of combat with a large enemy. Taz goes against an agreed plan for the battle by {{VE|2437|throwing Arcjec towards the enemy}}, which he improvises, but together take the enemy down and earn an S-grade resource, {{VE|2447|a spleen with filled with choler}}.<br /> <br /> They bring the spleen to one of Taz's scorpion consorts named Fuckwit. Fuckwit having promised to help navigate the planet in exchange for the spleen suddenly changes his mind. Taz attempts to use her PsyOPs on him, but Arcjec leads him away to have a one-on-one chat. In their chat, Arcjec pressures Fuckwit to help by threatening to eat Fuckwit alongside any other scorpion consorts, {{VE|2456|which makes Fuckwit change his mind through fear}}. As Taz and Arcjec leave, Arcjec unlocks the {{VE|2459|Shonen Jumpstart}} technique on his proficiency haulm after this conversation, giving his plot armor a passive buff. <br /> <br /> The two decide to {{VE|2462|take a break}} and simply chat together. To Taz's surprise, Arcjec mentions smoking. She lights a matchstick for their sugar stick after she denies an offer for one. Both talk and ask about each other, getting to know the other once again. When Arcjec mentions both of them hating each other, she cuts them off, saying {{VE|2470|she never hated them}}. Arcjec admits to all their faults towards Taz, but Taz forgives them, talking about knowing Arcjec well and their past, which Arcjec admits to not being able to remember well. After being prompted the question of whether everyone is still friends, {{VE|2476|Arcjec confirms that they are}}, and that he is glad to be in their current situation with everyone else.<br /> <br /> Before Taz and Arcjec could continue their conversation, {{VE|2478|Arcjec gets interrupted}} by a message from [[Sestro Enthal]]. Sestro, contacting Arcjec about their role and importance, gets mistaken by them as a scammer pretending to be Sestro and {{VE|2480|blocks him}}. Arcjec also changes their tag from {{VE quote|arcjec|animatedHumorist}} to {{VE quote|arcjec|acerbicMorphosis}} after blocking Sestro.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and traits==<br /> At the start of the comic, Arcjec is a closed off and isolated person. They display a sardonic, irritable attitude toward most people, having little patience when dealing with others, and generally seeing things from a bleak perspective. They place a great deal of importance on the way things &quot;should&quot; be and how they work in the &quot;real world&quot;, holding a jaded, disaffected philosophy on life. Paradoxically, he still is heavily invested in certain conversations, as evidenced by the amount of effort put into his responses whenever his friends try to contact him and the very fact that he leaves these channels of contact open.<br /> <br /> This mindset is later shown to mask Arcjec's genuine attachment and care for his old life and friends. As the story progresses, they start being more open with the rest of the cast, apologizing for their unkind behavior and being more honest about their emotions. He makes an effort to reconnected with all of his friends, even taking charge in an unofficial &quot;friendleader&quot; capacity if the situation calls for it, and sharing moments of lighthearted banter with many of them in a sharp contrast to his biting interactions from before.<br /> <br /> A good part of Arcjec's struggles are related to his mental health. The way other characters have described his falling out with the group, along with his own conversation about his emotional state with Kidjec, seem to indicate symptoms of a depressive disorder. Their habit of indulging in cans of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mountain_Dew_flavors_and_varieties#CodeRed Code Red] - a strong antidepressant&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSB|volume=8|quote=Now, if it had been a Mountain Dew: Code Red, then you’d be a little worried. That stuff is a real potent antidepressant.}}&lt;/ref&gt; on Repiton - is further confirmation of the fact, having even been labelled an addiction in the comic's text. <br /> <br /> Arcjec's past interests include the collection of pop culture memorabilia, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funko Funko Pops] and action figures of comic characters, playing SBVRPRPG's with his friends, and drawing. They also used to do cosplay, being depicted going to a Repitonian comic con with Taz in one of the photos in their album,<br /> <br /> His blood is of a unique &quot;corn syrup&quot; color, a result of combination of normal Repitonian bronze blood and [[Ellsee Raines|lime blood]]. This blood type and Arcjec's sigil were passed down to them by their ancestor, [[Thesal Voorat]], after his attempted suicide and subsequent revival by [[Zekura Raines]] during [[The Renaissance]].<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> <br /> ===Taz Poemme===<br /> [[File:Pg264.png|thumb|220x220px|Arcjec and Taz's first time talking in two sweeps. It goes as well as it can.]]<br /> Arcjec and [[Tazsia|Taz]] have had a difficult relationship since the comic started. Stemming from their largely difficult past and supposedly unrealized romantic entanglements. There are many indications that their relationship was at one point unhealthy or unrequited, mutually or otherwise. After some kind of relationship-ending incident, Arcjec has since vehemently avoided any interaction with Taz for over two sweeps while Taz has since repeatedly tried to reach out to Arcjec. The resulting fallout deeply affected Arcjec, resulting a drastic change in personality and demeanor, while Taz felt abandoned by Arcjec.<br /> <br /> When the two are forced to interact with one another during the events of the game, the two are constantly at each other's throats, barely being able to stay civil with one another, even for the sake of their mutual survival. Despite this, even though it is very slight, they did have a couple moments of levity and have been shown to complete their goals as a team rather efficiently all things considered.<br /> <br /> During Post-EOA2 and Act 3 Act 1, they reconnect and bonded with each other once Taz arrives on Arcjec's planet, resulting in better communication and none of the hatred and lashing out from before. Any jabs or insults they throw at each other overall seem lighthearted banter typical of their contrasting personalities. Austin has also stated on Tumblr that they have &quot;extremely red&quot; feelings for each other&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=May 20, 2019|quote=[Ask: do taz and arcjec have black feelings for eachother?] if by black you mean extremely red then yes|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/185008621064/do-taz-and-arcjec-have-black-feelings-for}}&lt;/ref&gt;, &quot;miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=June 13 2018|quote=[Ask: whats the deal with taz and arcjec and their relationship?] they miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/174870026574/whats-the-deal-with-taz-and-arcjec-and-their}}&lt;/ref&gt;, and &quot;are in love and very upset at themselves all the time&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|date=Apr 11, 2019|quote=[Ask: what is up with arcjec and taz] they are in love and very upset at themselves all the time|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/184094908769/what-is-up-with-arcjec-and-taz}}&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ===Laivan Ferroo===<br /> Despite Arcjec's base unfriendly demeanor, him and [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] appear to have a pleasant friendship. They seem to have mutually requited yet unrealized pale crushes on each other. The two, along with Calder, used to play together as kids, but this appears to have ended or become rare as Arcjec grew distant and depressed.<br /> <br /> After speaking in the newest memo in Act 3 Act 1, they still seem close in some sort of way, with Laivan remembering Arcjec's wriggling day (or as Laivan called it, a birthday) and asking him about it.<br /> <br /> === Ellsee Raines===<br /> Arcjec and [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] have a unclear relationship. Ellsee seems to value and trust him a great deal. One of her goals at the beginning of the comic was to finally meet him and introduce herself personally, though she is never able to bolster up the courage to actually do it, even when she's already at his hive.<br /> <br /> Ellsee appears to care for Arcjec and worries for his wellbeing, even dropping all of her fear to run back to him in order to try and rescue him once she notices the meteor heading towards his hive. Despite this, Arcjec doesn't appear to know much about Ellsee at all; though he does seem to have an easier time speaking to her than the other trolls in his chat fodder. When Ellsee asks if she was likeable, Arcjec does actually try to give her advice (albeit poorly). In Act 3 Act 1 Arcjec and Ellsee are seen sharing a hive and call each other a [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1742 family.]<br /> <br /> Biologically, Ellsee and Arcjec's relationship are the equivalent of human siblings, while their [[ancestors]] were in a [[Quadrants#Matespritship.2FFlushed Quadrant .E2.99.A5|matespritship]]. This would make their relationship closest to siblings, with their ancestors as their parents.<br /> <br /> ===Murrit Turkin===<br /> Arcjec does not appear to be a big fan of [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]]. After reading through her memo, he believes that the game is a prank set up by him and the others to make fun of him and later notes during a conversation that he is a &quot;slam jockey with more exposed RGB wires than common decency&quot;. When telling [[Zehanpuryu]] about what he believes should have happened post-entry, he admits that Murrit is a &quot;friend&quot; and that he is &quot;actually way worse at explaining things than you or this game.&quot;<br /> <br /> Arcjec seems to have known Murrit since he was six sweeps old, as seen in a flashback. They have talked enough for Arcjec to notice Murrit's tendencies, such as commenting that they &quot;hate when they do that&quot; after Murrit bans themself from a memo. <br /> <br /> ===Jentha Briati===<br /> Arcjec mentioned [[Jentha]] during a conversation with Taz as they were working towards his entry. They seem to be relatively aware of each other's interests, and share some in the form of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funko Funkos], but otherwise there is little information on their relationship. Though, it's said that Arcjec is only open about his opinions on certain media to Jentha.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=17 Dec, 2023|quote=[Arcjec] keeps his opinions close to the chest when talking to most of the others except jentha. those two will find something completely unimportant and then tear it to shreds.|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220144613/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111593059074135371}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Calder Kerian===<br /> [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] and Arcjec were once friends in their youth, but it seems that Arcjec is the only one who believes they can still be considered that.<br /> <br /> In the memo in Act 3 Act 1, their interactions are tense and curt, though Arcjec attempts to be courteous as with the rest of the cast. Arcjec comments that Calder sounds &quot;different now&quot; and that &quot;it feels like I don't know who I'm talking to.&quot; Arcjec also states that he has no qualms about banning Calder from the memo after telling him to knock it off when overstepping Taz's boundaries.<br /> <br /> Later on, Arcjec confronts Calder privately in hopes of reintegrating him with the rest of the session. While the first half of the conversation is taut and Calder sticks to his usual mannerisms, the two wind up briefly quipping back and forth. In the end, Calder decides not to oppose Arcjec's supposed future pestering.<br /> <br /> ===Serpaz Helilo===<br /> [[Serpaz]] and Arcjec seem to have been friends in their youth. There is not much information on their current relationship, but Serpaz seems to think of Arcjec as silly. They seem to not have any problems or tension with each other. When Arcjec cuts Serpaz off from rambling about her entry in the Act 3 Act 1 memo, he reassures her that he's taking her seriously and that she can talk later.<br /> <br /> ===Albion Shukra===<br /> [[Albion]] and Arcjec seem to get along well. The two speak about their relationship when they were younger in the memo in Act 3 Act 1. Albion comments on how Arcjec was &quot;one of the few people&quot; who believed in her position when they were younger as well. Arcjec tells her that he thought it was an elaborate backstory she made for a character. Arcjec comments on how he would consistently tell her when they were younger that she would always be good at the game he played, and that she unfortunately never joined. She tells Arcjec how she was on Prospit with him but he doesn't remember, having had issues with his dreamself at the time. <br /> <br /> ===Sova Amalie===<br /> There is little information on their relationship for the most part, however it is implied that they've talked in the past, with [[Sova]] bringing up in Act 3 Act 1 that she's read weirder from Arcjec after a particularly bizarre comment from him. She's also mentioned that as &quot;(snide as he may be at times... at the end of the night, ARCJEC has been nothing but genuinely &quot;real&quot; with [her].)&quot;&lt;ref&gt;https://www.deconreconstruction.com/bonus/ama1/1 Sova's portion of the Cast AMA&lt;/ref&gt; They don't seem to have any problems with each other.<br /> <br /> ===Occeus Coliad===<br /> There seems to be something going on between the two but there's not much information about their relationship. [[Occeus]] comments in Act 3 Act 1 that their past interactions have been more &quot;charitable&quot; and what Arcjec is doing is &quot;weird&quot;.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> '''Dismas Mersiv''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|dismas|gigantisDebilitation}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is [[wikipedia:Phosphorus|Phosphorus]], and he is a deconstruction of the &quot;edgy&quot; fantroll archetype.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> His [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is a pseudo-healing factor, which speeds up his body's natural healing process but does not lessen any resulting scarring.<br /> <br /> He was the fourth troll introduced and the fifth troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> Dismas shares a name with [[wikipedia:Penitent thief|Saint Dismas]], the &quot;Penitent Thief&quot; or &quot;Good Thief&quot;, possibly as a nod to his [[Class|player class]]. According to the Christian tradition, Saint Dismas was one of the two criminals who died on crosses next to [[wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus]] during the latter's crucifixion. <br /> <br /> The name Dismas is also derived from Greek ''δυσμή (dysme),'' meaning &quot;sunset&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> ===Early Life===<br /> Dismas went to school at the same time as [[Albion Shukra]] and [[Murrit Turkin]], the latter of which constantly subjected him to their antics, getting the two in trouble often. On one such occasion, Dismas was sent to detention for getting into a fight with Murrit, and when attempting to connect to his teacher to write his apology note, he was instead connected to another student: [[Jentha Briati]].<br /> <br /> The two quickly became friends over the conversation that followed, which prompted Dismas to intentionally get in trouble the next evening in order to get sent to detention again to be able to message Jentha more. When he got there, however, he was instead messaged by [[The Principal|the Principal]]. They revealed that they were the one who connected Dismas to Jentha in the first place, so that Jentha would have someone she knew when she graduated since she has to spend all her time in a mould of her own due to her condition.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dismas meets Albion at lunch and the two discuss a plan to get Jentha out of her mould and out to the yard to play. This conversation goes overheard by Murrit, who secretly tails the two on their way to Jentha's mould and keeps them from getting caught. They head for the yard with Jentha in tow when Murrit reveals his presence, bragging about how they wouldn't have pulled this off without him and using this as leverage to get them to let him join them. Dismas reluctantly agrees after a fair bit of back-and-forth, and the four head into the yard.<br /> <br /> After some time, Dismas gets up on top of a structure, Murrit following soon after to shove him off. This act of animosity greatly upsets Jentha, who shoves Murrit off the structure in turn before exploding with nuclear energy. This outburst attracts a [[Lusus#Skulltitan_lusus|skulltitan]] to the school, which proceeds to kill several other students and staff before reaching the yard. After Jentha inadvertently powers the skulltitan with more energy, Dismas gets its attention to keep it away from Jentha, eventually ending up in its clutches. The Principal arrives on the scene too late to rescue him, instead making a gamble that the skulltitan will bond with Dismas as a lusus and teleporting the two of them to the dunes.<br /> <br /> From then on, Dismas was forced to care for his new lusus, going into mines and harvesting radioactive ore in order to feed him.<br /> <br /> === Six Sweeps ===<br /> <br /> [[File:Pg420 1.png|left|thumb|A younger Dismas working for Murrit.|alt=|208x208px]]<br /> Later on, Dismas reunites with Murrit through an online game of poker in which he bet and lost his &quot;soul&quot;, coming to work for the seadweller as a personal hitman in the process. During this time, he helped them take back the pieces of the [[Frog Temple]] they had sold, as Murrit needed them back in order to fulfill their deal with [[White Noise]]. The two became [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismeses]] over the course of their relationship. <br /> <br /> Also during that time, Murrit had pinned down Jentha's location through unknown means, leading Dismas to her under the guise of a hit. Dismas refused to end her life, and eventually the two {{VE Quote|wn|found solace in each other}}, entering a [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirallegiance]].<br /> <br /> ===Act 1===<br /> Dismas is first introduced inside his respiteblock. He is soon messaged by Murrit, who urges him to go outside in order to help her with her plans to save their friends from planetary annihilation and bring about [[The Game]]. Despite his concerns about dealing with his lusus, Dismas begrudgingly complies. <br /> <br /> After leaving his hive, Dismas finds one of Murrit's remote surveillance &quot;boobdrones&quot; waiting for him. Controlled by Murrit, the boobdrone points toward the sky and draws his attention to an incoming meteor, proof that their world-ending claims are true. Moments later, Dismas's angered lusus finds him, and he braces for a confrontation. <br /> <br /> Later, Dismas receives a message from Albion while hiding from the Skulltitan inside a cave. Unaware that she is being possessed by her long-dead ancestor, he has a brief conversation with [[Cyprim Shukra]], who warns him not to &quot;lend credence to the [[White Noise|man who spins his words like yarn]]&quot; and tells him to stop the &quot;[[Ellsee Raines|limeblooded vessel]] to his heart&quot;. Both statements leave Dismas deeply confused and concerned for his friend.<br /> <br /> During the events of {{VE|310|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Arcjec: Enter.}}, Dismas is shown fighting his lusus. He is knocked off cliff and then shot with a laser-like blast from the Skulltitan's mouth, losing his bandana in the process and hurtling toward a nearby waterfall.<br /> <br /> ===Act 2===<br /> Some time later, Dismas wakes up at the bottom of the canyon, alive but heavily injured. He's approached by the same boobdrone from earlier and lets Murrit know that he's out of commission, on account of a newly-broken arm. They get into an argument about Murrit's previous actions putting Dismas's in harm's way, all for one of their {{VE Quote|dismas|fun little exploit/\tion numbers}}, but the couple dances around an actual apology. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move on, Murrit brings his moirail, Jentha, into the call.<br /> <br /> After Dismas reassures Jentha about his condition, downplaying his injuries, Murrit states that he's ready for Dismas to act as his server player. Dismas and Jentha are outraged at the suggestion, both due to Dismas's condition and Murrit being entirely at fault for it, but the seadweller manages to talk Dismas into listening to him: he tells them that he's hatched a plan to get Dismas back to his hive using an ore-powered minecart by the nearby rails. Jentha and Dismas are skeptical, but Dismas concedes, due to both a lack of options and Murrit's reassurances that things are {{VE Quote|murrit|&gt;([under control]}}. Dismas is then deposited into the cart and proceeds to {{VE Quote|wn|MELT TRACK}}, boobdrone in tow. <br /> <br /> During {{VE|641|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Engage.}}, Dismas is shown almost falling to his death as he's forced to jump from the mine cart in order to avoid a pile of rocks on its path. Murrit manages to catch him with the boobdrone, safely throwing him inside his hive through a window. She then pushes him down through the ladder that leads into his respiteblock, where Dismas finally manages to help her with her entry. <br /> <br /> At some point after Murrit's entry into the Game, Albion messages Dismas in order to assist him. Dismas inquires after her strange behavior from before, a subject she tries to deflect much to his chagrin. She concedes on talking about it later on the promise that he'll let her call him &quot;cowboy&quot;, an old childhood nickname, again. <br /> <br /> The two friends spend some time working together to figure out his entry codes, without much success. In the midst of an angry tirade, Dismas is visited by [[Weird Al]], who enters his hive through a [[Alchemy|strange portal]]. Weird Al then tears a hole through [[Aspect|Space]], uncovering Dismas's entry codes for him. Seemingly taking over his entry process, Al continues to assist Dismas with the help of a few [[Homunculi|wispy black creatures]]. <br /> <br /> As the homunculi build Dismas's entry gate, his paragon repository trial activates, binding him and simultaneously taking control of his lusus. Before he has a chance to act, however, Al kills the skulltitan with alchemy, releasing Dismas's denizen and activating his gate. A fuming Dismas is then kicked inside his gate and into [[the Medium]]. <br /> <br /> During the events of {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, Dismas is shown landing on his welcome platform and arguing with his denizen, [[Forcas]]. <br /> <br /> === Act 3 Act 1===<br /> Dismas is a part of the memo Arcjec makes after the group's entries into the Medium. He catches up with the other players as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far, explaining the situation with his lusus and showing frustration at his dungeon crawler-like planet.<br /> <br /> Some time later, he is shown fighting boss monsters on his planet, killing them with ease. He then comes across [[Granite]], who offers him a healing potion for his broken arm. Dismas drinks it after some bickering, unaware of how hot the liquid is, causing him to breathe fire and burn off his bandana. He quickly shoves the bottle back in his mouth to cover up his facial scar. The bone heals as promised, and Granite activates the floor beneath them, elevating them both to the next layer of the labyrinth.<br /> <br /> Dismas then receives a message from Murrit, and a brief conversation is shown between them in which Murrit asks Dismas for an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx1tDzwqods example of a paradox].<br /> <br /> ==Personality and traits==<br /> [[File:Pg112.png|left|thumb|The world's not going to be ending anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;Not if he has anything to say about it.{{VE|112}}|alt=]]<br /> Dismas is defined by a constant struggle to overcome his difficult circumstances. Having been raised by a volatile and aggressive [[Lusus#Skulltitan lusus|skulltitan lusus]], he was forced to endure horrible physical tolls and fend for himself from a very young age. Before the Game, Dismas was driven by his goal to escape his abusive home and kill his lusus, a dedication he shows through time spent studying ancient footage of skulltitans and the methods of their defeat. <br /> <br /> He also seems prone to overestimating his abilities, to the point where he often does more harm than good to himself. Dismas tries to present a façade of being capable and tough, but has a tendency to freeze whenever it comes to making riskier decisions, a fact he is painfully aware of. His gentler, more nurturing side is on display whenever he interacts with those he cares about, namely Albion and Jentha. Although he remains curt and a bit &quot;prickly&quot;, it's clear that he is an understanding and honest friend. In contrast, Murrit seems to bring out his thornier side, intentionally flaring his temper and causing him to lash out in frustration.<br /> <br /> Dismas is very self conscious about his appearance, particularly his facial scars which have disfigured the left side of his mouth. He tends to cover himself up with multiple layers of clothing in order to hide this scarring.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Relationships==<br /> <br /> ===Murrit Turkin===<br /> [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] and Dismas have known each other since childhood, and have been in a kismessitude for at least two sweeps, sharing a mutually antagonistic relationship. Murrit appears to have a tough-love stance toward Dismas, often &quot;helping&quot; him in roundabout, frustrating ways meant to prod him into action. Dismas is vocally disapproving of Murrit's more aggravating stunts, but tends to go along with them most of the time. He is particularly frustrated by Murrit's avoidance of honest communication, being much more inclined to talk things out without resorting to the usual rival-like theatrics. There is, however, an implicit bond of trust between the two, which is a testament to their partnership of many sweeps.<br /> <br /> Dismas seems to hint at a more recent strain in their relationship, which is aggravated by Murrit's aforementioned typical avoidance of direct communication.<br /> <br /> ===Jentha Briati===<br /> Dismas and [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] are childhood friends, and are in a moirallegiance. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to put her thoughts into words, Jentha is much calmer when in Dismas's presence, and he's very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. He also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own. The two are shown to be very in tune with one another.<br /> <br /> === Albion Shukra ===<br /> [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] and Dismas are longtime childhood friends. Dismas was notably concerned about Albion's behavior during her brief possession stint, only relaxing when Murrit assured him that she was fine through his surveillance feeds. The two share an easy rapport, frequently teasing each other but still showing a lot trust and personal insight into the other's emotional states. They used to go by &quot;star child&quot; and &quot;cowboy&quot; when they were younger.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Dismas's chat handle, {{VE Quote|dismas|gigantisDebilitation}}, means &quot;Godzilla's weakness&quot; or &quot;weakening Godzilla&quot;, with &quot;gigantis&quot; being a reference to the original international title of the second Godzilla movie: [[wikipedia:Godzilla Raids Again#English version|Gigantis: The Fire Monster]], and &quot;debilitation&quot; meaning &quot;to weaken&quot;, a reference to Dismas's desire to eliminate his lusus.<br /> *Dismas likely had a different [[Skorpe]] handle in his youth, around the time of Jentha's {{VE|2039|departure from school.}} Despite being handwritten in smaller print, the handle can be reasonably inferred to be beryllianScourge.<br /> **The word &quot;beryllian&quot; has no immediate definition, but can be interpreted in a relatively straightforward manner as describing that which has the properties or qualities of the mineral beryl, or of the element beryllium. These materials appear to have no connection to phosphorus, or to any particular aspect of Dismas' personality. However, orange-colored morganite crystals are a variety of beryl which can form in ways that are strikingly similar to the color of Dismas' blood.<br /> **The word &quot;scourge,&quot; on the other hand, is a straightforward reference to Dismas' promised ''venegance'' on his lusus, and in general on Repiton's population of skulltitans. <br /> *Dismas's distinctive facial scars appear to be a reference to &quot;phossy jaw&quot;, an occupational disease to those who work with phosphorus without proper safety equipment.<br /> **Murrit has specifically called Dismas &quot;phossy jaw&quot; in reference to that condition.<br /> **Notably, this coincides with Dismas's alchemic sigil, phosphorus.<br /> *In [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Nine|''Snowbound Blood'': Volume Nine]], it was first confirmed that Dismas is a trans man.&lt;ref&gt;{{VE Quote|glomer|GLOMER: i think [the skulltitan] took a little clayblood Girl? we dunno what the deal was with that but she was never seen aGain, at least not officially}}&lt;/ref&gt; This was later confirmed further in the comic itself{{VE|1921}}.<br /> *Being a Derse dreamer, a bronzeblood and a Hero of Mind, Dismas's would-be extended zodiac sign is [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Taurza Taurza, Sign of the Revealer.]<br /> *Dismas runs a [[Filler]] account under the username irradiated.<br /> *Dismas keeps breaking lightbulbs when trying to replace one.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 28, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217035919/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Dismas, [[Jentha]] and [[Murrit]] play [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uno_(card_game) UNO] together.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 21, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217080021/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111620477055986997}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> **Dismas constantly messes up and does illegal moves on accident.<br /> *Dismas lands as a cat on the cat-to-dog spectrum.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 19, 2023|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217015836/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111604296377617919}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Dismas' favorite food is chili con carne.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@avstinado|platform=twitter|date=Mar 11, 2021|link=https://x.com/avstinado/status/1369785821176475650}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Dismas would main [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman Demoman], or more specifically [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Glossary_of_player_terms#Demoknight Demoknight], with the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Eyelander Eyelander] weapon in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Fortress_2 Team Fortress 2].&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Apr 1, 2024|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20250220135841/https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/112193200195085743}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Dismas would main [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Meta_Knight_(SSBU) Meta Knight], [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Wolf_(SSBU) Wolf] and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Dark_Pit_(SSBU) Dark Pit] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate Super Smash Bros.

<p>TiltNexus: replacing retrospring links with archived version</p> <hr /> <div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Sova Amalie}}<br /> {{/Infobox}}<br /> <br /> '''Sova Amalie''' (short for Sovara), also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Silver and she is a deconstruction of the &quot;tragic victim&quot; fantroll archetype.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> She was the eleventh troll introduced and the eighth troll to enter the game.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> &quot;Sova&quot; means &quot;owl&quot; in many Slavic languages, matching Sova's lusus and frequent bird motifs. The full name Sovara may come from the Greek word ''σοβαρά'' (sovará), meaning &quot;seriously&quot;. &quot;Amalie&quot; resembles ''Amélie'', a French given name meaning &quot;work&quot;, and may also be a reference to the film and musical ''Amélie'', a story about a young girl who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation.<br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> ===Early life===<br /> According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after school &quot;caged&quot; in a manner she doesn't like to talk about. She later escaped her captivity, and with the help of [[Laivan Ferroo]] and [[Serpaz Helilo]], made herself a new home in a secluded cabin out in the woods.<br /> <br /> ===Act 1===<br /> Sova sends concerned messages to [[Albion Shukra|her matesprit]] over the course of the entry night, which Albion reads after her fateful revelation from the Star Guardian but does not reply to.<br /> <br /> ===Act 2===<br /> Sova first speaks in Act 2 when she responds to [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]'s memo, {{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}, offering to help decipher the information contained in her ancestral tome. In this same memo, she also catches up with Laivan and Serpaz.<br /> <br /> Later, Albion messages her to apologize for not responding to her earlier messages. As she shares her worries, Sova reassures Albion that she can't bring herself to be mad at her. Sova then tells Albion that she loves her, and that {{VE Quote|sova|that is all that matters}}. Albion agrees with her.<br /> <br /> After {{VE|641|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Engage.}} we are shown Sova's formal introduction page. She receives a message from an enthusiastic Serpaz, who's happy that the two of them will be spending time together because of the Game. As they chat, Serpaz calls Sova {{VE Quote|serpaz|a total angel!!!}}, a term which triggers Sova's memories of [[Dexous]], her former &quot;caretaker&quot;. Serpaz urges her to let the past go, but fails to properly assuage Sova's distress.<br /> <br /> In need of a distraction, Sova decides to read the latest scroll Albion has translated for her: a recounting penned by [[The Annalist|the Annalist]] of a parable told to her by [[Zekura Raines|The Vivifier]]. Before Sova can finish her reading, however, she is interrupted by a loud rumble coming from outside her hive. Thinking it might be her lusus, Cooperi, she decides to investigate, but is met with a dark, wispy creature standing by her window instead.<br /> <br /> She goes inside her sanitization block to hide, checking Ellsee's second memo and asking the others about the strange monsters lurking outside, though she is interrupted by a message from [[Occeus Coliad]] before she can get very far. They have a brief chat and he advises her to &quot;clear her sight&quot; and ignore the creatures, as they {{VE Quote|occeus|thrive .o.n y.o.ur attenti.o.n}}.<br /> <br /> She is contacted by [[Edolon Vryche]] shortly after he restrains Serpaz in order to expedite her entry process, though not much of their conversation is shown. Later, Sova is seen talking to an anxious [[Jentha Briati]] as Cooperi fends off the Abyss creatures, while they try to work through her entry process.<br /> <br /> Sova successfully enters [[the Medium]] during {{VE|1000|2=&amp;#91;S&amp;#93; Ellsee: Enter.}} Her talk with her denizen is not shown. <br /> <br /> ===Act 3 Act 1===<br /> The act opens with a dream sequence, as Sova navigates a nightmarish space that leads toward a huge steel birdcage. She is jolted awake by a series of [[Gaiaeon|ominous whispers]], having gone back to her hive after speaking to her [[Jegudial|denizen]]. Sova then travels back to the Medium, where her planet, the [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], is revealed. <br /> <br /> [[Metatron]] is there to greet her, and they discuss the game, Sova's potential journey through it, and Jegudial, her denizen. After some prompting from Metatron, Sova agrees to show him some of her writing, an in-progress script of a play called ''[[Upon the Twelfth Hour]]''. As she wraps up the reading, a Skorpe notification pops up, letting her know that [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] created a new memo. She catches up with the other players, as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far.<br /> <br /> With a new appearance, Sova can be seen having a conversation with one of her [[Consorts#Rabbits|rabbit consorts]]. Shortly after, she's greeted by Serpaz and Occeus with a tight hug from Serpaz.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and Traits==<br /> Compassionate and forgiving, Sova is an avid reader and history buff who always tries to see the best in people, being quite fond of musical theater and stage plays. She dabbles in playwriting herself, holding a deep passion for the craft but being too self-conscious to share her work with her friends. <br /> <br /> Due to a sheltered upbringing, she considers herself socially hindered, having not had extensive interactions with other trolls for most of her youth and often misusing common turns of phrase. Sova is also &quot;a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{citeSocial|tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|url=http://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/176074032714/you-should-give-us-a-little-insight-into-the-least|date=July 19 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> It has been implied that Sova deals with PTSD due to her difficult past with Dexous.<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> <br /> ===Albion Shukra===<br /> [[File:Sova_worrying.gif|thumb|Sova worrying about Albion.|220x220px]]<br /> Sova is in a flushed relationship with [[Albion Shukra]], having shown deep worry and care about her well-being. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova inherited from her Ancestor, and is mentioned to have helped Sova with her adjustment period after she escaped from Dexous. Sova seems to regard Albion with an almost awe-struck admiration, which can lead to her brushing aside some of her matesprit's more negative traits. <br /> <br /> It has been confirmed that the two are not bonded, as they are still a relatively new relationship.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteVE|pagenumber=652|quote=(and before you ask the second big question that i know is on your mind, no, we have not fully committed to our quadrant as of yet)|whosaid=sova}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo===<br /> Sova is good friends with both [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and the couple seems to be somewhat protective of her. They were the ones who helped Sova obtain her current belongings and residence. There is a framed picture of the three of them together inside Sova's [[Sova's hive|hive]].<br /> <br /> Between the two, Serpaz appears to be slightly closer to Sova, likely due to her outgoing and jovial personality compared to Laivan's more laidback and quiet nature. While well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to the off-beat way she tends to deal with her own sadness and pain.<br /> <br /> ===Occeus Coliad===<br /> Sova seems to be on good terms with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], the pair treating each other with mutual consideration of their respective boundaries. He is shown messaging her in hopes that she can listen to his woes, but is understanding when Sova states that she can't handle offering advice at that moment in time.<br /> <br /> ===Dexous===<br /> [[File:00657.gif|alt=|thumb|220x220px|Sova in Dexous' captivity.]]<br /> Sova has a difficult past with [[Dexous]]. It is implied that Dexous forced Sova to sing for him and an audience, eventually causing her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder. Reminders of Dexous, such as the word &quot;angel&quot;, can trigger Sova, leading her to emotionally withdraw and experience flashbacks. <br /> <br /> ===Jentha Briati===<br /> [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] is Sova's server player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as {{VE Quote|jentha|the one who c cares so much about e everyone}}.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Sova's chat handle, {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, means &quot;red story&quot;, with sanguine meaning &quot;blood red&quot; and an allegory being &quot;a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one&quot;.<br /> *Sova and [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] are the only two members of the main cast who enjoy pineapple on pizza.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=http://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/176072626039/heres-some-real-discourse-which-of-the-ve-cast|date=July 19 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Being a Derse dreamer, a redblood and a Hero of Heart, Sova's would-be extended zodiac sign is [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Aro Aro, Sign of the Lost.]<br /> *Albion and Sova run a joint Filler account under the username blissfullyharmonic.<br /> **They sign off their posts as *mod*starshine* and (MOD CHORINE), respectively.<br /> *Sova has to stack objects on top of each other to reach the lightbulb when changing it.

<p>TiltNexus: /* Trivia */ Reduce indentation and add periods</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> <br /> '''Secily Iopara''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]'' and the main protagonist of [[Snowbound Blood: A Vast Error Story|''Snowbound Blood'']]. Her associated alchemic sigil is Talc.<br /> <br /> She was first revealed in the February 11th Trollodex, alongside an [[Aumtzi Maught|unknown troll]]. Her bullet points were:<br /> * never forgets a face<br /> * you don't want to be on her list<br /> * pessimistic duelist<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> Secily is a variant of Cecily, a real-life name ultimately derived from Latin ''caecus ''(blind, dim-sighted). Iopara possibly comes from Iopara Inc., a wind turbine company.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> Secily first met [[Ahlina Robiad]], the woman who would become her bonded matesprit, when they were children. She recalls the memory of defending her from some bullies in ''[[Snowbound Blood: Volume Eight]].'' Secily's desire to protect and make the world a better place for her childhood love was partially what spurred her to seek a career in the regulatory workforce.<br /> <br /> Many sweeps later, as Secily was starting to become a notable regulator, Ahlina was kidnapped and killed after a ransom request sent to Corporate was not met. Secily was then assigned a TEMP, [[Mshiri Libeta]], to help her deal with her grief and withdrawal symptoms. Though frowned upon due to their client-TEMP relationship, the two eventually entered a legitimate moirallegiance.<br /> <br /> After she was promoted to Chief Regulator, one of the highest positions she could possibly have in the Corporate hierarchy, Secily was personally assigned by [[Clarud Enthal|the Executive]] to be a guardian and mentor to the newly hatched Corporate heir, [[Sestro Enthal]], and his future advisor, [[Hamifi Hekrix]]. The three would then go on to have a sort of familial relationship, strained over the sweeps by their respective positions and responsibilities within the company.<br /> <br /> Secily was assigned to lead Operation Snowbound Blood, the investigation of the theft of a philter of the [[Zekura Raines|Vivifier's]] blood.<br /> <br /> Following Operation Snowbound Blood, Secily was to protect [[Ellsee Raines]] and [[Arcjec Voorat]] and ensure their survival, per the Executive's request. This mission was off-record and her position as Chief Regulator would have been terminated. However, Secily was kidnapped by the [[Harbingers of the Alpocalypse]] and killed by [[Edolon Vryche]] before she could proceed.<br /> <br /> == Personality and traits ==<br /> Secily tries to project cold, calculating authority and is quite cynical, harboring some pessimistic views on society and its inhabitants. She strives to keep an air of professionalism around her at all times and struggles whenever things aren't under her control, even as her inner thoughts expose that she can be quite humorous (and even silly) when the mood strikes.<br /> <br /> She is an extremely guarded individual, although there are certain people with whom she is comfortable letting her armor slip—namely, Mshiri Libeta. At times, Secily also has trouble reading people's tones and facial expressions, which can lead her to assume foul play and hidden motives when there are none. When she feels threatened or upset, she can display quite the explosive temper. Secily tends to prefer working alone, and occasionally struggles doing so with others (although she is capable of it, like with [[Necron Exmort]].)<br /> <br /> Secily also has huge issues with loud environments, this is shown by her extreme discomfort at Bytcon Krypto's casino.<br /> <br /> She is also an extremely by-the-book individual, finding comfort in rigid structures and routine and loyal to the Corporate institution to a fault—to her detriment and that of others'.Part of her rigid routine could include wearing the same outfit everyday, this is shown by her wearing the same coat, top and pants all throughout the game.<br /> <br /> Her skills with technology and using computers are shown to be quite limited, and she will often defend more traditional methods of work, such as using a physical [[Trollodex]] as opposed to a numerical one.<br /> <br /> Secily has a mutation which allows her to recall any face, event or information she has previously learned as she pleases. In Snowbound Blood's narration, this is likened to information being photocopied directly into her mind.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> === Ahlina Robiad ===<br /> [[Ahlina Robiad|Ahlina]] was, and in many ways still is, the most important person in Secily's life. Everything Secily does, she does for Ahlina's sake; whether it is to honor her memory or avenge her death.<br /> <br /> She carries deep regret and guilt over not being able to save her.<br /> <br /> === Yeshin Laevis ===<br /> [[Yeshin Laevis|Yeshin]] is Secily's kismesis. As such, she has a habit of getting under Secily's nerves.<br /> <br /> === Mshiri Libeta ===<br /> [[Mshiri Libeta|Mshiri]] is Secily's moirail, though Secily harbors red feelings for Mshiri. Secily is only known to drop her quirk around Mshiri, who told her in their initial encounter not to play games with her (which led Secily to stop &quot;playing a game&quot; of chess with her quirk). The two met due to Mshiri, as a temporary meditation partner, being assigned to console Secily after the loss of her matesprit. Secily sees a lot of similarities between Mshiri and Ahlina, likely explaining Secily's feelings for her.<br /> <br /> Mshiri knows Secily extremely well and can easily read her, despite her cold and guarded mannerisms with others.<br /> <br /> === Sestro Enthal &amp; Hamifi Hekrix ===<br /> [[Sestro Enthal|Sestro]] and [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]] are (two of) Secily's superiors. Sestro would like to engage in more casual and personal conversations with Secily if it weren't for Secily cutting him short. On the other hand, Hamifi is just as cold as Secily is when engaging in conversation, and doesn't waste even a sentence on anything other than Secily's direct task at hand.<br /> <br /> Secily is mentioned to have practically raised the two, though Secily thinks of them strictly as employers for most of the game. However, when Secily learns that Sestro has entered a weakened state from overexerting himself, she's immediately concerned and questions Hamifi's decision not to call her about it. Hamifi soon after expresses that Secily taught Hamifi to not be sentimental nor trustful, but somewhat smiles when Secily admits that she does trust her. She's shown to have felt guilty about the way she raised Hamifi and Sestro in Volume 9 of Snowbound Blood, where she watches Hamifi play with children while in disguise.<br /> <br /> Secily's relationship with Sestro and Hamifi becomes somewhat strained when she learns the truth behind her matesprit's death, despite their lack of actual involvement with the incident, but rather through association. After Secily's conversation with Gerbat, however, she commits to talking things out with Sestro to sort it out.<br /> <br /> === Oricka Rourst ===<br /> Secily and [[Oricka Rourst|Oricka]] are old friends. They met when Secily was assigned to protect Oricka after the latter got herself in trouble with an unspecified mob. Later on, Oricka would build Secily's visor and YVES. Oricka is very affectionate with her friend, cheering her up, attempting to provide first aid, and calling her a wide variety of nicknames, like {{VE quote|oricka|stressily}}, {{VE quote|oricka|seSILLY}}, and {{VE quote|oricka|sessy sweetheart}}.<br /> <br /> === Necron Exmort ===<br /> Secily is introduced to [[Necron Exmort|Necron]] in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Seven]], after hearing about him from his matesprit [[Oricka]] and from [[Cadlys Rankor]]. Despite their contrasting personalities and Secily's initial doubts, they quickly agree to partner up to take down [[Aumtzi|Noxious]]. Though initially careful to maintain professional distance, Secily quickly warms up to Necron, taking him with her to [[Valtel|Valtel's]] mansion and to the [[Reduplication Caves]]. Necron, in turn, cares for and respects Secily deeply, calling her {{VE quote|necron|damn best Regulator that ever lived}}, and asking her for relationship advice.<br /> <br /> === Occeus Coliad &amp; Ellsee Raines ===<br /> Secily is tasked with investigating [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] during the events of ''[[Snowbound Blood: Volume Five]]''. At first Secily is suspicious about him and confronts him on hiding [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] from Corporate, but after he elaborates on how much he cares for her Secily decides to protect Ellsee instead, due to them reminding her of her relationship with Ahlina.<br /> <br /> During ''[[Sabine Berare|Sabine's]] [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Eight|route]]'', she is reminded of Occeus and wonders how they're both doing.<br /> <br /> === Husske Mayzee ===<br /> By the end of [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Three|''Snowbound Blood: Volume 3'']], Secily refers to [[Husske Mayzee|Husske]] and the other barn children as ''her'' kids. She's clearly fond of them, and they accept her too, since she can hear the static in the corn.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Her would-be classpect is Knight of Void.<br /> * One of her Trollodex entry bullet points is a reference to Optimistic Duelist, a popular Homestuck theorist.<br /> * Her lusus was a hummingbird moth, as implied in [[Oricka Rourst|''Oricka's'']] [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Four|''route'']], when she states that she hadn't seen one since her lusus died. This was confirmed in the flashback in Sabine's route.<br /> * She is canonically trans, as confirmed by the Vast Error official Tumblr.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|date=May 18, 2019|quote=secily [… is] trans|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/184975658609}}&lt;/ref&gt; She is also canonically autistic.<br /> * Secily's quirk contains a chess game that is as many moves long as she has prefixes and suffixes in a conversation with somebody. The result of the game reflects Secily's encounter with the person. In almost every instance, she has ended the game in a draw. She has only ended a conversation with a win twice. Once, a win for white (representing herself) when she kills a troll in [[Snowbound Blood: Prologue|''Snowbound Blood's prologue'']]. Then, a win for black (representing [[Edolon Vryche|Edolon]]) when he kills her in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Twelve|''Snowbound Blood: Volume Twelve'']]. It can be assumed that wins represent the death of any involved party.<br /> * She has some grey hair.<br /> * Sabine gave her a middle name, Aletheia, which follows the 8-letter ancestor naming pattern.<br /> ** Sabine specifically mentioned this, saying she was old enough for an 8-letter title.<br /> *In volume 2, she is implied to be stimming on her way to meet Rypite Koldan.<br /> *She is around 6'2.&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|date=Aug 11, 2023|quote=Anywho, Secily is about 6 feet and 2 (or 3) inches tall.|link=https://www.deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/725390797180157952}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;gallery position=&quot;center&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Secily.gif|All of Secily's sprites.<br /> File:Dancingmilves.png|Secily dancing with Yeshin.<br /> File:Paintings of Secily, Sestro and Hamifi.png|Paintings of Secily, Sestro and Hamifi.<br /> File:GETTEM SECILY.png|Young Secily punching a bully.<br /> File:Secily404.png|Secily as she is randomly seen on [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/404 the 404 page of the main site.]<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Navbox Vast Error Characters}}<br /> {{Navbox Trolls}}<br /> [[Category:Vast Error characters]]<br /> [[Category:Snowbound Blood characters]]<br /> [[Category:Trolls]]</div>

<p>TiltNexus: Arjec -&gt; Arcjec, protegee -&gt; protege</p> <hr /> <div>{{Italic title}}<br /> [[File:Banner_VE.png|center]]<br /> <br /> '''''Vast Error''''' is a story where, quite simply, &quot;Twelve trolls play a game.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;https://mspfa.com/?s=2302&amp;p=1&lt;/ref&gt; This description is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the original description of {{MSPAW External|Homestuck|''Homestuck''}} (which ''Vast Error'' is inspired by) as well as to poke fun at the traditional plot of the average fan-made Homestuck comic, referred to as a &quot;Sburbventure.&quot;<br /> <br /> ''Vast Error'' began on March 22nd, 2011 (3/22/2011) on the now defunct {{MSPAW External|MSPA_Forums|MSPA Forums}}. The comic was soft-rebooted two years later on March 22nd, 2013 (3/22/2013). During these early years, the comic received only 1-3 updates per year, but starting on the December 18th, 2016 (12/18/16), it began to update regularly with the help of its newly formed development team. During its hiatuses, the comic was completely planned out, and in the process the original concept was modified extensively. While it was hosted on {{MSPAW External|Fandom:MS_Paint_Fan_Adventures|MS Paint Fan Adventures}} (or MSPFA) a number of years after the MSPA Forums went defunct, it officially migrated to its own site, [[Deconreconstruction]], on February 11th, 2021. All the pages on MSPFA except for the ones in the first act were removed. The final page on MSPFA is now a link to DCRC.<br /> <br /> The story contains foul language, violence, gore, and other adult themes. [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1 A full list of content warnings can be found on the front page.]<br /> <br /> ''Vast Error'' is still ongoing, and is currently on [[Vast Error: Act 3 Act 1|Act 3, Act 1]].<br /> <br /> ==Acts== <br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Act 1|ACT 1 - ''&quot;'''Slow, Yet Infinite.&quot;''''']] (Started 3/25/13, ended 10/20/17)<br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Intermission 1|'''''INTERMISSION 1 - &quot;Hello Again.&quot;''''']] (Started 10/20/17, ended 10/31/17)<br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Act 2|ACT 2 - ''&quot;'''Pop 'Em If You Got 'Em.&quot;''''']] (Started 10/31/17, ended 10/31/19)<br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Intermission 2 Side 1|'''''INTERMISSION 2 SIDE 1 - &quot;Guess My Name.&quot;''''']] (started 2/23/20, ended 5/15/20)<br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Intermission 2 Side 2|INTERMISSION 2 SIDE 2 - ''&quot;Rejoice and Be Merry.&quot;'']] (started 6/9/20, ended 2/12/21)<br /> <br /> *[[Vast Error: Act 3 Act 1|ACT 3 ACT 1]] - (Title currently unknown) (started on 2/23/21)<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> On the birthday of main protagonist [[Arcjec Voorat]], he and eleven of his friends discover their destiny to play a reality-altering, world-ending video game only referred to as &quot;[[The Game]].&quot; In Act 1, Arcjec is forced to reconnect with many of his friends, including [[Taz Poemme]], [[Albion Shukra|Albion Shurka]], [[Dismas Mersiv]], [[Murrit Turkin]], and [[Laivan Ferroo]], despite his objections. On a time limit of planetary destruction via a meteor, Arcjec begrudgingly agrees to play The Game and enters first in the chain of order.<br /> <br /> Between Act 1 and 2, the narrator of this story, the skeletal wordsmith [[White Noise]], formally introduces himself, the stakes in which the protagonists will face, and why this story must play out as it does: Two cosmic entities, [[Gaiaeon]] and [[Kheparia]], have been conflict for millennia, and White Noise has set up the circumstances ahead in order to support the side of his creator, Kheparia.<br /> <br /> In Act 2, White Noise introduces &quot;most crucial character of [the] story,&quot; [[Ellsee Raines]]. Additionally, the second half of the main cast, [[Occeus Coliad]], [[Calder Kerian]], [[Serpaz Helilo]], [[Sova Amalie]], and [[Jentha Briati]], are introduced. While Arcjec begins his journey inside The Game, the remaining eleven trolls continue the chain of entry into the Game. Eventually, Ellsee, with the help of Arcjec, plant towers across the planet they live on, [[Repiton]], to create a shield that will defend it from the impending meteor. This act brings the planet into The Game as its ultimate reward: Saving the planet from its self-inflicted destruction. Ellsee then enters The Game as the last to do so, bringing The Game into the next phase.<br /> <br /> As the trolls of Repiton react to the displacement of their world and the main twelve reconnect, the story is interrupted by another narrative force, [[Mimesis]]. Bored of the current events, they tell their own tale of four game constructs, the [[Dead Shufflers]]. The four, lead by the unrelenting [[Scathing Sharper|Jack Noir]] (referred to as the Scathing Sharper), charge into the Hotel California, an extra-dimensional space home to Mimesis. Fighting through the chaos, Jack is able to confront Mimesis, but it proves to be a futile effort. Jack is presented a deal before he is to be killed: To bring Mimesis in contact with the aspect holder of Time in their next life.<br /> <br /> When control of the narrative is regained by White Noise, the story's focus shifts once more to that of its secondary cast. [[Sestro Enthal]] and his romantic partner and bodyguard, [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi Hekrix,]] are left to inherit Repiton's controlling entity, the Repiton Corporation, from Sestro's dying predecessor, [[Clarud Enthal|The Executive]]. While in the middle of a public speech, Sestro is interrupted by a troll named [[Edolon Vryche]]. Edolon attempts to claim his &quot;birthright&quot; as leader of Repition due to being the former protege of the Executive before Sestro. Though Sestro attempts to reason with him, Edolon unleashes the forces of two of Repition's leading cults in an incursion to usurp power. Sestro, Hamifi, and many others in their aid fight back but are eventually outmatched, being cornered by Edolon alongside high-ranking cult members [[Pozzol Broyer]] and [[Talald Hieron]]. Though the later two prepare to strike, Edolon lets the group abscond, despite Pozzol's protests. Edolon rebukes, alluding to a greater reasoning that will befit them in the long run. However, Pozzol begins planning a coup in retaliation.<br /> <br /> With all of the main cast now inside The Game, Act 3 Act 1 begins with all twelve trolls convening and recapping their own experiences. Calder reveals the attack by Edolon to the group with Serpaz warning them of the danger he poses from personal experience. As each either start or continue their personal quests, a few reminiscence on their childhoods. Jentha recalls her time in the Kindergarten, with one bad day culminating in her extraordinary powers being stripped away. Ellsee fondly remembers her family life with Arcjec, to which Arcjec has seemingly forgotten. When White Noise introduces himself to Ellsee, the two discuss their roles in the grand scheme he has lain out, including stopping the looming threat of Gaiaeon. This danger causes a Murrit from an alternate timeline to connect with Laivan. Though he is skeptical, he learns that their timeline, the main timeline, is the only one capable of winning the Game and saving all of reality from Gaiaeon. Meanwhile, as the real Murrit engages with her quest, he discovers the artifact that his alternate version used to see into timelines, or &quot;probabilities.&quot; Unknowingly, though, this device is connected to Mimesis, allowing them the direct connection to Murrit they've been seeking.<br /> <br /> ''This section will be updated as the story updates.''<br /> <br /> ==Inception==<br /> ''Vast Error'' was created by [[austinado]] and [[Sparaze]], and was infamously coined in the past as a &quot;deconstruction&quot;, or as austinado puts it now, a &quot;deconreconstruction&quot; of its source material, {{MSPAW External|Homestuck|''Homestuck''}}. The comic contains several major archetypes and themes of ''Homestuck'', its 'fantroll' community, and the typical fan adventures created for and by that community. Most notably, the main cast of the comic, the [[troll]]s, are all lovingly based on tropes commonly found in characters created by the fanbase.<br /> <br /> Besides these and quite a few other notable uses of ''Homestuck's'' concepts, ''Vast Error'' has been stated by its creators to take place within its own contained reality and mythos. There is little connection to the plotline of ''Homestuck'' aside from the idea of the troll species and the usage of a universe-ending game, and even then these concepts have major changes as to their purposes and how they function.<br /> <br /> ==Connections to Source Material==<br /> ''Vast Error'' has been noticed by {{MSPAW External|What_Pumpkin|What Pumpkin}} and members of the {{MSPAW External|Hiveswap|''Hiveswap''}} Dev Team.

Both were added in by artist/animator [http://poinko.tumblr.com/ Poinko], who has made track art for the comic on Vast Error Vol. 4.

<p>TiltNexus: /* Entry Codes */ taz entry codes: rebirth -&gt; dynamic, according to pg. 463</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Narayan code.png|thumb|304x304px|alt=|The Narayan Alphabet.]]<br /> The '''Symbols of Narayan''', or '''Narayan Code''', is a set of symbols seemingly related strongly to [[Aspect]]s, and by extension, [[Alchemy]].<br /> <br /> All of the symbols are created using a base consisting of four blank circles split into quarters which intersect to create four ellipses. These four quadsected circles are contained within one larger circle which is also split into four sections. Each of the 20 half-circles in the base either have a positive or negative value. Different combinations of horizontal and vertical quarter-circles are either filled in or left empty within this original structure to create a single Narayan symbol. The symbol meanings seem to relate greatly to aspects, in both theme and application. <br /> <br /> There are a few Narayan symbols vital to the game function, likened to information in a code. They are: exist, static, cycle, entropy, and rebirth.<br /> <br /> == Entry Codes==<br /> [[File:00278.gif|thumb|306x306px|alt=|The Game interface that allows input of Narayan Codes.]]<br /> Each of the trolls need to have their server player input their a unique set of Narayan symbols into the {{VE|278|Etchelizer}} as their entry code into the Medium at the beginning of the game. The symbols relate to the player's [[Aspect]]. <br /> <br /> The meanings of the Narayan codes used as entry codes for the main 12 trolls are as follows: <br /> <br /> *[[Arcjec Voorat]]: change, resurrect, remember, inhibit<br /> *[[Taz Poemme]]: honor, force, question, dynamic<br /> *[[Laivan Ferroo]]: intelligence, elevate, balance, creativity<br /> *[[Murrit Turkin]]: encourage, wisdom, weave, time<br /> *[[Dismas Mersiv]]: momentum, resilience, control, future<br /> *[[Albion Shukra]]: tradition, contradict, harmony, ethereal<br /> *[[Serpaz Helilo]]: motion, form, chaos, stimulate<br /> *[[Calder Kerian]]: spur, society, convey, void<br /> *[[Ellsee Raines]]: energy, system, sacrifice, merge<br /> *[[Sova Amalie]]: survival, constraint, love, possibility<br /> *[[Jentha Briati]]: dependence, nurture, growth, sustain<br /> *[[Occeus Coliad]]: civilization, transform, power, machine<br /> <br /> ==Alchemy==<br /> The empty Narayan base for the symbols is seen on the hands of Alchemists, and these markings are shown to glow in different formations of Narayan symbols when the user is Alchemizing and interacting with their aspect. <br /> <br /> When Weird Al is lifting [[Lefty]] on {{VE|1088|page 1088}}, his hands glow to make the Narayan symbols of force and motion. <br /> <br /> Other characters that have the Narayan symbols on their hands include [[Sestro Enthal]], [[Edolon Vryche]], [[Thesal Voorat]], and [[Clarud Enthal|The Executive]].<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Weird Al VE.png|Weird Al with the empty Narayan base.<br /> 1088.gif|Weird Al lifting Lefty while the symbols for force and motion glow on his hands.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Vast Error concepts]]</div>

<p>TiltNexus: /* Personality and traits */ typo: kismesistude -&gt; kismesissitude</p> <hr /> <div>{{/Infobox}}<br /> Helica Alembi is a [[troll]] in the ''Haustoria'' chapter of '''[[Thaumatrope]]'''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Retort.<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> 'Helica' is likely referring to Helicarionidae, the family which contains land snails in reference to her lusus and general theme. 'Alembi' is likely to be derived from the word alembic, a distillation device similar to a retort, her sigil.<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> === Before ''Haustoria'' ===<br /> Alongside [[Lutzia]], the two of them move into a hive nearby a forest, noted to be too gross and unsafe for Helica's liking. <br /> === During ''Haustoria'' ===<br /> Helica is first seen at someone's hive, exchanging slime for loops. After finishing the deal, she finds Lutzia attempting to fix a pipe for mold, and proceeds to try to talk her out of doing it by saying it's just paint. Lutzia doesn't listen, causing said pipe to burst and the butcher to kick both of them out. Helica and Lutzia bicker and then kiss on the way back to the hive, and Helica asks Lutzia to stay in the van.<br /> <br /> After Helica finishes a makeup video, she walks into Lutzia sloshing snoutbeast blood in the blender. She gets upset, as it was promised to not use that blender for blood tests, but Lutzia tries to convince her that it'll work out well. Helica raises concerns if there's even a plan, and while Lutzia tries to reassure her that'll be figured out along the way, the blender gets knocked over and blood splatters all over. This being the limit, Helica starts shouting at her, leading it to become an argument. Lutzia argues that Helica isn't supportive of what she does, while Helica remarks that she's been supportive all this time, and calls Lutzia immature. Helica gets abandoned by Lutzia for saying she needs to grow up, and assumes she won't be see her for up to two days.<br /> <br /> Helica's whereabouts aren't known while Lutzia is at the village for multiple sweeps. Lutzia has made an attempt to contact her, but she wasn't able to remember her password and couldn't find Helica's trolltag. At the end, Lutzia returns to the hive, only to find remains of it and Helica's lusus, with Helica herself having quit the scene.<br /> <br /> == Personality and traits ==<br /> Helica has been shown to be irritable, mostly during her kismesissitude with Lutzia. She's cautious and crabby, and her more caring side may get obscured through her yelling and hot-headedness. Helica raises concern for what she doubtful of, and will get defensive when necessary, even if it means to lash out in anger.<br /> <br /> While mentioned briefly, Helica makes online videos about cosmetology, carrying an interest in such by creating online videos.<br /> <br /> Helica tries to exchange sopor slime for loops, noting that Lutzia uses up most of their budget. The source of this slime isn't specified or fully known, but can be assumed that it's from her snail lusus.<br /> <br /> == Relationships ==<br /> === Lutzia Cullex ===<br /> The kismesissitude Helica had with Lutzia was mostly functional. Despite Helica's tendency to get furious with Lutzia's actions, she still cares and deeply worries about her and what she does. Helica had genuinely tried to show support of her passions, from moving hives to a spot with plenty of mosquitoes to letting her take over Helica's old video channel. Helica still admits that Lutzia is mainly wasting time and gets furious after she starts a new project with no successful ones previously, despite many promises Lutzia breaks. Their kismesisstude ended after Lutzia abandoned Helica due to an argument.<br /> <br /> === Snail lusus ===<br /> We don't see her lusus often, but it can be assumed that Helica has started some sort of business with the slime her lusus produces. While due to this business one might assume they had an at least decent bond, when it's revealed Helica is gone, we can see her lusus has died and left behind where the hive once was. Whether the lusus died before or after she left isn't known.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Her [https://toyhou.se/2226870.helica-alembi Toyhou.se] states that her classpect would be Bard of Mind, but Xamag has said that the Toyhou.se profiles aren't entirely canon to what's shown in ''Haustoria''.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> [[Category:Expansion]]<br /> [[Category:Thaumatrope characters]]<br /> [[Category:Trolls]]</div>

An olive aura surrounds the ship, generated by The Enlightened to protect it from the monsters of the Depths.
