Albion Shukra

2024-12-18T00:41:36Z

Tooth: Albion's weight acknowledged

{{/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 "Always Perfect Mary Sue" fantroll archetype.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref>

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]].

She was the third troll introduced and the sixth troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
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 "lucid, clear, bright". It is also the name of an ancient sage who counseled Asuras in Vedic mythology, and the term for Venus in Hindu astrology.

== Biography ==

=== Four Passes ===
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 "Voice of Reason", as seen when questioning [[Dismas Mersiv]]'s plans to visit [[Jentha Briati]] and when she held him back during her Nuclear Meltdown.

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.

It's during their sneak-out that Albion gains her first vision as a Seer by learning the passcode to Jentha's mould.

=== Six Sweeps ===
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.

=== Act 1 ===
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),

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.

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.

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.

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 "follow credence of the [[White Noise|man who spins words like yarn]]" and to stop "the [[Ellsee Raines|limeblooded vessel]] to his heart". 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.

=== Act 2 ===
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.

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]].

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.

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.

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.

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.

Albion enters in {{VE|1000|2=[S] Ellsee: Enter.}}, though she was only shown on her denizen meeting platform.

=== Act 3 Act 1 ===
In Arcjec's reopened memo, {{VE|1704|{{VE quote|arcjec|XDXD Rebeating the dead omenbeast. XDXD}}}}, Albion is seen to be on her planet.

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.

During Occeus' visit to [[Land of Spiral and Fracture]], he and Albion had a call to consult about a puzzle on LOSAF.

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.

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.

== Personality and Traits ==
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]].

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).

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.

== Relationships ==

=== Taz Poemme ===
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 "special kind of scary" and "perfect". 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.

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.

=== Sova Amalie ===
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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
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.

=== Dismas Mersiv ===
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.

=== Occeus Coliad ===
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.

=== The Exemplar ===
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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* Albion's [[Skorpe]] handle is demiurgeQuantified. This name has a few terms to it.
** A demiurge is "a being who is responsible for the creation of a universe" this refers to how Albion and the eleven others must resurrect [[Kheparia]] to restore her.
** The word quantified means "to express or measure the quantity of"
** The Skorpe handle demiurgeQuantified may mean "a defined universe creator"
** The word demiurge is an English word that comes from the Latinized Greek word 'demiurgus'. It was originally a noun meaning "craftsman" or "artisan" but soon came to mean "provider" and then "creator"
* 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.
** The word "celestial" is used to describe anything of a heavenly nature, particularly as it relates to the divine.
** A "proxy" is an intermediary, i.e. one qualified to act on behalf of another.
** With these words placed together, Albion defines herself as one acting on behalf of the divine heavens, in reference to her status as a "star child," and her believed destiny of becoming the "Pure Oneself."
* 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.
** 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 "something else". This "something else" may very well be referring to [[The Game]].
** 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.
* 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&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS817US817&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi96_S4uKzeAhXDTN8KHfuxCdsQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=969#imgrc=tHTsns0piFQclM: this graphic novel]
* 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.].
* Her mood ring is meant to show her emotions. Each color means something different.
** '''Green:''' Stable
**'''Chartreuse''': Stress
** '''Blue:''' Hope
** '''Purple:''' Compassion
** '''Pink:''' Love
** '''Yellow:''' Fear
** '''Orange:''' Greed
** '''Red:''' Rage
** '''Black:''' Blank
** '''White:''' Merged with lusus or "Higher Power"
* Albion's ring is based off of the rings from the Green Lantern comics:
** The emotion associated with each color matches those of the various Lantern Corps (i.e. the Pink Lanterns represent Love).
** The abilities granted by the ring are similar to those of the Lantern rings.
**So far, only Red has been shown to have practical use in combat, manifesting as an extention of Albion's body through her aura.
** It's stated that Albion keeps her ring green (i.e. Stable) through willpower. In the comics, the original Green Lanterns represent Willpower.
* Albion and [[Sovara Amalie|Sova]] are the only two members of the main cast who enjoy pineapple on pizza.<ref>{{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}}</ref>
*Albion and Sova run a joint [[Filler]] account under the username blissfullyharmonic.
**They sign off their posts as *mod*starshine* and (MOD CHORINE), respectively.
*As of her redesign, a marking akin to Kheparia's eye is painted onto her forehead, similar to a Bindi.
*Due to the placement and allusion to Kheparia, parallels can be drawn to Occeus and his Gaiaeon-adjacent third eye.
*Albion changes lightbulbs using her star children abilities (and is proud of it).<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=Dec 28, 2023|link=https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134}}</ref>

Necron Exmort

2024-04-19T12:02:49Z

Tooth: Added link to the post

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Necron Exmort''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Death.

In Necron's trollodex entry,<ref>[https://twitter.com/SyndicationVE/status/1104970203551526912 Necron trollodex entry].</ref> his bullet points are listed as:
* ensures eternal rest for the wicked
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdkqagOUaPM THIS is his BOOMSTICK]
* admittedly has some pretty good one-liners
His theme is titled [https://soundcloud.com/pragmaticnihilist/tinyurlcom_slash_y48fbov8 tinyurl(dot)com_slash_y48fbov8].

== Etymology ==
Necron comes from "Necro-", a root word meaning death. Exmort is likely a play on his assumed necromancy, as his victims would be "ex-mortem". More likely, his full name is derived from the [https://evildead.fandom.com/wiki/Necronomicon_Ex-Mortis Necronomicon Ex-Mortis], from the Evil Dead series.

== Biography ==
=== Before ''Snowbound Blood'' ===
Before the events of ''Snowbound Blood'', Necron had a short-term job as a manager at a Supermart store. He received many ''Employee of the Blink'' plaques over the course of his job, to the point where he needed a box to carry them all in by the time he was finished.

Necron mentions using his paychecks from his Supermart job to pay for his truck. Despite saving up for a long time, he says he still had to spend his entire last paycheck on it, and implies Oricka helped him out, as well.

=== During ''Snowbound Blood'' ===
Necron makes his first appearance in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Seven|''Snowbound Blood'': Volume Seven]], starring in his own route. By the time he meets [[Secily Iopara|Secily]], he's a vigilante also known by the alias ''Ashbringer.'' He takes it upon himself to exact justice on people he deems require it. After a short scuffle, he defeats a troll in combat who preyed on unbonded trolls, before making Secily's acquaintance.

== Personality and Traits ==
Necron speaks in a very outdated manner, using slang words like "groovy," and "natch," and frequently uses pet names with anyone he talks to regardless of age or gender. When not cleansing Repiton of the wicked, he has a very relaxed and casual demeanor. Even when he is on the job, he has a love for preceding/following up his killing blow with a witty one-liner. He seems to be somewhat desensitized to blood and gore, not being concerned at all about making a mess and even offering a quite literally bloody handshake to Secily upon meeting her for the first time.

Necron is a little hotheaded and is prone to jump to conclusions and rush into action at a moment's notice. As such, he constantly gets into scraps and generally has a very unkempt and tattered appearance. Secily believes he wears these scars and tears as badges of honor.

There is a plethora of contradictory information and gossip about Necron, his character and his job. He is equally feared and reviled in the criminal underworld. He admits that people don't always get why he does what he does, and confesses that perhaps it is for the best. His primary aim is to rid the world of evil, something he wishes he could have seen in his role models growing up.

== Relationships ==

=== Oricka Rourst ===
Necron and [[Oricka Rourst|Oricka]] have been matesprits for decagrades. He is not ashamed to tell people how much he loves her, whether it be directly or indirectly, and vice versa. The two are very affectionate towards each other, and Necron displays nothing but absolute adoration and appreciation for her being in his life.

Despite their steady romance, Necron mentions in Snowbound Blood: Volume Seven that they haven't bonded yet. Even though they both have wanted to for some time, Necron both worries about her regretting [[Troll#Bonding|bonding]] with him and his safety with the high stakes of his job.

Oricka is also the one who made Necron's prosthetic hand. In the 2021 Cast AMA, he says she upgrades it regularly.<ref name=":0"><nowiki>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/bonus/ama1/1</nowiki></ref>

=== Secily Iopara ===
Necron and [[Secily Iopara|Secily]] share many similarities, thematically and otherwise. Though Secily doesn't start off by treating him any differently (and flat-out doesn't consider the possibility of tracking him down until much later in her quest), he quickly rubs off on her and builds up a rapport with her. They share a love for weaponry, a hatred for Noxious, and play a similar role in ensuring the disposal of their respective targets on Repiton (though Secily is a professional, whereas Necron roams around on his own). He's quick to refer to her by several pet names that Secily immediately disapproves of and warns him against.

By the end of ''Snowbound Blood'': Volume Seven, Necron agrees to form an alliance with Secily to track down Noxious, thus giving her a form of partner that she is normally notoriously bad at gaining.

== Trivia ==
* His would-be classpect is Mage of Hope.
* The [https://www.reddit.com/r/comedyheaven/comments/a8pyjd/that_me_hook/ tinyurl link] in his theme's title leads to [https://www.reddit.com/r/comedyheaven/comments/a8pyjd/that_me_hook/?rdt=43780 a screenshot of a Tumblr post on Reddit] titled "me nd me pirate girlfriend". The body of the post states "[holdin hands] me: bb ur hands r so cold gf: that me hook".
* He owns a Smash Mouth CD.
*In the 2021 cast AMA, he implies that one of the attachments to his prosthetic shoots condiments.<ref name=":0" />

Turnin Kaikai

2024-04-19T11:56:47Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Turnin Kaikai''', also known by their [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|turnin|engrossedIndulgence}}, is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Their associated alchemical sigil is Digest.

==Etymology==

"Kai-kai" is an Australian slang for eating. It could also have been derived from "kaykay", which means "skateboard" in Turkish, based on their interest in stunts.

==Biography==

They appear in [S] Ellsee: Enter performing a daring stunt as the meteor gets closer towards Repiton shortly before the planet is teleported to The Medium.

Many details of Turnin's past are currently unknown, but they used to play in a band with their [[Racren Innali|matesprit]], [[Linole Pomace|Linole]], [[Vellia]], and [[Nezrui Rigida|Nezrui]].

==Personality and Traits==
Turnin is a famous internet celebrity on Repiton. Their content consists of stupid stunts, eating challenges, and physical pain inflicted for fun. They may also be into gaming, as they have a series with their best friend, jerma985, where Turnin attempts to make Jerma mad while playing video games. They are shown to constantly put their life in danger for the sake of social media, and even display a cocky and playful attitude while doing so. They claim that they don't care much for the money and tributes they receive, and that doing "stupid shit for the hell of it" is their end goal.

Turnin is able to eat literally anything and everything, due to the ultra-metabolism that they acquired from birth, allied by the naturally strong Repitonian stomach. One of their favorite snacks is lemons, which is known to be toxic to the Repitonian body due to the stomach and citric acids counteracting and destroying the stomach's flesh. Even though they regularly commit actions that would usually be fatal to the average person, they always seems to end up fine. It's even become an in-joke in one of Turnin's communities to constantly talk of their "recent death".

Despite their larger-than-life personality and presence in Repitonian culture, Turnin seems to be a generally passive troll, answering neutrally on personality tests and having a people-pleasing nature. They have a problem with disappointing other people, and possess a habit of constantly saying yes to things before they think it through. Turnin claims that as long as other people are happy, they're happy as well. They see benevolence in the aspects of life, and believe that things will usually turn out okay. When some of their interactions with fans turn out negatively or weirdly, they prefer to see it in a different way.

Turnin has backgrounds in hardcore music, being a vocalist in a band of such nature. Despite this, they claim that they aren't that into the music genre and claim that they don't find it enjoyable. They tried to add vocal harmonies into the band's songs, but it didn't end up so great in the end. To this day, they are unable to enjoy the genre.

==Relationships==

=== Racren Innali ===
Turnin's matesprit. Turnin and Racren go back an undefined amount of time (possibly sweeps) due to being in a band together. They seem to be close, as tabloids notice whenever Racren doesn't show up in one of Turnin's streams. Racren is unconvinced by Turnin's indestructible attitude and reminds them of the harm that they inflict on their body. Turnin seems to not care.

Turnin questions why Racren stays working on the Black Moon despite them having the funds to support the both of them for life. They are excited whenever they come down back to Repiton and have tried to convince him to stay permanently multiple times, but to no avail.

=== Sestro Enthal ===
[[Sestro Enthal|Sestro]] is Turnin's moirail. The two appear to have a bit of a strained relationship, as their last Skorpelog occurred only a few wices ago. Turnin cares greatly for Sestro and claims that they've never missed one of his events for 7 sweeps. Turnin says that they struggle with being a good moirail as they aren't very good at coming up with what to say in serious situations.

=== Hamifi Hekrix ===
One of Turnin's childhood friends. [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]] disapproves of Turnin's destructive nature and tends to argue with and even press charges against Turnin, which Sestro normally mediates.

Hamifi recognizes Turnin's role in Sestro's life, and deems them irresponsible for their careless and flaky attitude towards their obligations.

=== Vellia ===
Turnin's ex-bandmate. Turnin says that Vellia resents them for becoming famous without her. They also talk about her passive aggressiveness and attempts to guilt trip them for their fame. They tend to leave her on read a lot.

==Trivia==

* Their would-be classpect is Seer of Breath.

* They have a book called "VORED MY BONG WATER AND LOOK AT ME NOW: THE TURNIN KAIKAI STORY"

* There's a song based on them (or possibly by them) titled "Turnin Kaikai Could Devour Me Whole and I'd Thank Them"
*Turnin runs a Filler account under the username XxTURNxDOWNxX.
*Turnin's design was heavily inspired by the Super Danganronpa 2 character Kazuichi Souda.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=twitter|whosaid=@deconrecon_|date=Jan 19, 2019|link=https://twitter.com/deconrecon_/status/1194829210755457024}}</ref>

Serpaz Helilo

2024-04-19T11:52:03Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{/Infobox}}'''Serpaz Helilo''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|serpaz|pliableDecadence}}, is one of the [[troll]]s 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 "Comedic Relief" fantroll archetype.

She was the tenth troll introduced and the fourth troll properly introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. She was also the seventh troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
Serpaz, when translated from Kurdish, means 'the serpent'. ''Ser paz'' is Spanish for "to be peace". 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.

== Biography ==

=== Six Sweeps ===
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|Laivan]] 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|Arcjec]] during this time, and notably knew him prior to the event that led to his current depressive demeanor.

=== Pre-Game ===
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 [[Sovara Amalie|Sova]], and then [[Albion Shukra|Albion]]. 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.

Serpaz is included in Arcjec's memo, but doesn't respond. This is likely because she was dealing with Edolon at the time.

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.

Later, in "[S] 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.

=== During the game ===
Serpaz is shown going through her entry portal as well as being on her planet, however her platform has not been shown.

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 "winding canyons."

== Personality and Traits ==
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.

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]].

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.

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.

== Relationships ==

=== Lefty ===
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.

Lefty sucks out any negative emotions Serpaz experiences, as shown after her first conversation with Edolon.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
[[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.

=== Calder Kerian ===
[[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.

=== Sovara Amalie ===
[[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.

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.
=== Arcjec Voorat ===
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.

=== Murrit Turkin ===
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.
=== Edolon Vryche===
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.
== Trivia ==
* 'pliable' means 'able to be molded or altered', and 'decadence' means 'moral or cultural decline characterized by overindulgence in pleasure or luxury'.
** 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.
* 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.
** 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.

Calder Kerian

2024-03-14T01:22:19Z

Tooth: godfuckingdamnitifuckingmisspelledahfuckoooh

{{/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.

Calder is based off of the "Disrespected Royalty" fantroll archetype.

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.

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.

==Etymology==
The name Calder means "rocky waters" in Celtic. The name Kerian is another variant of the name ''Kyrian'', coming from the Greek ''kyrie'', meaning "Lord".

== Biography ==

=== Four Passes ===
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.

=== Six Sweeps ===
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.

=== Pre-game ===
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.

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.

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.

=== During the Game ===
Calder's first appearance in his land is shown in [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1000 <nowiki>[S] Ellsee: Enter.</nowiki>] He stands in murky waters, greeted by his swan consorts, to which he proceeds to give [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2206 rather unflattering names to.]

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 [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2210 human woman], much to Calder's dismay- is shown within one of the buildings, being the gateway further down into the world.

After a tense confrontation with Arcjec, Calder is revealed to be working alongside [[Edolon Vryche]]{VE|2222}.

== Personality and Traits ==
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.

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.

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.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Murrit Turkin ===
[[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 "love" 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.
=== Occeus Coliad ===
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.

=== Serpaz Helilo ===
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.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
Similarly, Calder was once friends with [[Laivan Ferroo]].

=== Ellsee Raines ===
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.

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.

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.

=== Sestro Enthal & Secily Iopara ===
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.

In Occeus's route, Secily quickly recognizes grandioseSaturation as Calder from his Skorpe conversations with Occeus.

In her thoughts, Secily expresses surprise at the fact that Calder is not a part of her provided suspect list.

=== Edolon Vryche ===
[[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.

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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* 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.
** Like Equius, Calder often concerns himself on whether other people are acting properly within their caste.
** 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 "''smoking'' cigarettes" (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.
* 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.]
* Calder's [[Skorpe]] handle is 'grandioseSaturation'
** Grandiosity is another term for narcissism.
** The word saturation means "the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed"
** 'grandioseSaturation' may mean "over absorbed narcissism".
* 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.
* 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.
*Calder runs a Filler account under the username Sideline for his magazine of the same name.
*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.
**His original lusus might have been a male anglerfish that got absorbed into a female anglerfish during mating.
*In [[Snowbound Blood]], he is described as having a "sandpaper-harsh, salty voice" during a phone call with [[Sestro Enthal]] in Chapter 1.
*Calder finds replacing lightbulbs annoying.<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=28 Dec, 2023|link=https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134}}</ref>

Calder likes to hold and swirl wine but despises the taste, whereas Cronus started "''smoking'' cigarettes" (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.
* 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.]
* Calder's [[Skorpe]] handle is 'grandioseSaturation'
** Grandiosity is another term for narcissism.
** The word saturation means "the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed"
** 'grandioseSaturation' may mean "over absorbed narcissism".
* 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.
* 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.
*Calder runs a Filler account under the username Sideline for his magazine of the same name.
*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.
**His original lusus might have been a male anglerfish that get absorbed into a female anglerfish during mating.
*In [[Snowbound Blood]], he is described as having a "sandpaper-harsh, salty voice" during a phone call with [[Sestro Enthal]] in Chapter 1.
*Calder finds replacing lightbulbs annoying.<ref>[https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134 https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134]</ref>

Taz Poemme

2024-03-03T04:13:53Z

Tooth: Added Taz's new DRIP please look at her she is awesome and super hot and strong and cool

{{/Infobox}}

'''Taz Poemme''' (short for '''Tazsia''') known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|tazsia|perniciousOverkill}}, is one of the [[troll]]s 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 "Terrifying Cultish Murder Clown" fantroll archetype.

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.

She was the second troll introduced and the second troll to enter the game.

== Etymology ==
Her preferred name of 'Taz' is a reference to actual professional wrestler [[wikipedia:Tazz|Tazz]]. "Poemme" may be a [[troll]]ification of the word ''poem''.

== Biography ==

===Early life===
Taz was kept captive by [[Pozzol Broyer]] in the [[Mirthamaniacs]] under the statement that it was her destiny as [[Fortmistress Deadlock|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 "go pro" and commit to his orders, chaining herself permanently to the Mirthamaniacs. She took the bargain.

According to Arcjec, she ruined his life by doing something that ended up changing him into who he is today.

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.

=== Pre-game ===
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.

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.

Taz then messages her moirail, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], 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.

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.
[[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]]
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.

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.

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.

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 on her own entry. She and [[Laivan Ferroo|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.

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.

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.

=== During the Game ===
[[File:Taz god tier.png|thumb|256x256px|Taz as a Pureself Sylph of Rage, as seen in [S] Arcjec: Enter.]]
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.

In [S] Engage, she was seen exploring her land, [[Land of Growth and Gravity]].

In [S] Ellsee: Enter., she was seen killing a monster using her strife specibus: [[macekind]], as one of her [[consorts]] gave her a winding key.

As shown through Albion's visions when interacting with [[Star Guardian|her lusus]], Taz may eventually become her [[pureself]]. How this happens and through what method is currently unknown.

== Personality and traits ==
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.

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]].

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.

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.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Albion Shukra ===
[[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 "special kind of scary" and "perfect".

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.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
[[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.

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.

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 "extremely red" feelings for each other<ref>{{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}}</ref>, "miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it"<ref>{{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}}</ref>, and "are in love and very upset at themselves all the time"<ref>{{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}}</ref>.

=== Murrit Turkin ===
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.

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.
=== Minkmom ===
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.

=== Azbogah ===
Upon meeting her, Taz is immediately critical and distrustful of the [[Azbogah|denizen of Rage]], before the Denizen interrupts Taz to speak her mind.

[[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.

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.

=== Occeus Coliad ===
[[Occeus]] and Taz used to be in a kismesissitude, and at a further point, an auspisticism with [[Albion]] as their mediator.

=== Ellsee Raines ===
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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* '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.
* Taz's pet rock "The Rock" 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]].
* Taz likes to eat steak and presumably other forms of meat raw.
* Taz does, in fact, drink [[wikipedia:Faygo|Faygo]], which to Mirthamaniacs is known as 'Pinfall Fuel'. Her favorite flavor is Peach.
* The wrestler Taz murdered in her first Fort Match and reassembled with concrete is famed WWE all-star [[wikipedia:Kane (wrestler)|Kane]].
* Based on her blood color, aspect, and dream moon, her true sign on Alternia would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Capricorn Capricorn, Sign of the Capricious.]
*Taz runs a [[Filler]] account under the username razzmatazz.
*She is the tallest of the main twelve, standing at 6’5.
*Instead of replacing a lightbulb when necessary, Taz rips out the entire fixture as an excuse to get a new one.<ref>[https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134 https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134]</ref>

Calder Kerian

2024-03-03T03:51:02Z

Tooth: Added updated image

{{/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.

Calder is based off of the "Disrespected Royalty" fantroll archetype.

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.

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.

==Etymology==
The name Calder means "rocky waters" in Celtic. The name Kerian is another variant of the name ''Kyrian'', coming from the Greek ''kyrie'', meaning "Lord".

== Biography ==

=== Four Passes ===
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.

=== Six Sweeps ===
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.

=== Pre-game ===
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.

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.

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.

=== During the Game ===
Calder's first appearance in his land is shown in [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1000 <nowiki>[S] Ellsee: Enter.</nowiki>] He stands in murky waters, greeted by his swan consorts, to which he proceeds to give [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2206 rather unflattering names to.]

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 [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2210 human woman], much to Calder's dismay- is shown within one of the buildings, being the gateway further down into the world.

After a tense confrontation with Arcjec, Calder is revealed to be working alongside [[Edolon Vryche]]{VE|2222}.

== Personality and Traits ==
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.

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.

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.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Murrit Turkin ===
[[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 "love" 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.
=== Occeus Coliad ===
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.

=== Serpaz Helilo ===
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.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
Similarly, Calder was once friends with [[Laivan Ferroo]].

=== Ellsee Raines ===
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.

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.

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.

=== Sestro Enthal & Secily Iopara ===
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.

In Occeus's route, Secily quickly recognizes grandioseSaturation as Calder from his Skorpe conversations with Occeus.

In her thoughts, Secily expresses surprise at the fact that Calder is not a part of her provided suspect list.

=== Edolon Vryche ===
[[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.

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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* 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.
** Like Equius, Calder often concerns himself on whether other people are acting properly within their caste.
** 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 "''smoking'' cigarettes" (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.
* 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.]
* Calder's [[Skorpe]] handle is 'grandioseSaturation'
** Grandiosity is another term for narcissism.
** The word saturation means "the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed"
** 'grandioseSaturation' may mean "over absorbed narcissism".
* 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.
* 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.
*Calder runs a Filler account under the username Sideline for his magazine of the same name.
*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.
*In [[Snowbound Blood]], he is described as having a "sandpaper-harsh, salty voice" during a phone call with [[Sestro Enthal]] in Chapter 1.
*Calder finds replacing lightbulbs annoying.<ref>[https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134 https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111656478537891134]</ref>

Occeus Coliad

2023-11-03T07:28:18Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{/Infobox}}
'''Occeus Coliad''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|occeus|macabreExude}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemical sigil is Sulfur and his horns are in the shape of small crowns.

Occeus is a deconstruction of the 'Mad Scientist' archetype,<ref>{{CiteSocial|tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref> 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.

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.

Occeus also stars in his own route in ''[[Snowbound Blood]]'', being the only troll of the main 12 to be featured in the [[Trollodex]].

== Etymology ==
Occeus likely comes from Oculus, the Latin word for eye, befitting of his mutation.

Coliad likely comes from Coliadinae, a subfamily of butterflies also known as sulphurs, which matches his alchemical sigil.

== Biography ==

=== Early Life ===
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]].<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/418</ref>

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.<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1813</ref>

=== Pre-game ===
Occeus is first seen contacting [[Ellsee Raines|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. <ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/342</ref>

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 Turkin|Murrit]].<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/265</ref> He becomes frustrated and distressed at the possibility of losing his work, contacting [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] for clarification only to be assured that the game is undeniably happening. <ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/413</ref>

Occeus is included in Ellsee's memo but does not respond to it.

Occeus is later seen contacting [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] 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|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.<ref name=":1">https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/832</ref>

Occeus is then included in Arcjec's memo, which he does not respond to either.

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.<ref name=":2">https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/888</ref>

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.<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/904</ref> This scene continues into [S] 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.<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1000</ref>

=== During the Game ===
Occeus's first appearance in the game is in the group memo at the beginning of Act 3 Act 1, in which he confirms his dismissal to [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] 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 "bring[ing] life itself back."<ref name=":3">https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1705</ref>

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 "disruption" and "stagnant to the core", statement which later prompt Occeus to reflect in his monologue to Ellsee.<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1810</ref>

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. <ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1807</ref>

== Personality and traits ==
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.

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.<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1809</ref>

Occeus states that he does not understand other people, nor does he feel that they understand him<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1814</ref>, 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, since Repitonians don't have terms for mental disorders or neurodivergencies.<ref name=":0">https://discord.com/channels/259021334804299786/747967215348875284/1075893777199276152</ref>

== Relationships ==
=== Rogi ===
[[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.

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.

=== Ellsee Raines ===
[[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.

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.

In this monologue, Occeus references past events in which [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] breaks her code of conduct to save and care for him.

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.

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.

=== Calder Kerian ===
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.

=== Taz Poemme ===
[[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.<ref name=":3" />

=== Albion Shukra ===
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.<ref name=":3" />

=== Jentha Briati ===
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).<ref name=":1" />

=== Sova Amalie ===
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.<ref name=":2" />

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
[[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Occeus are work colleagues; Laivan stitches up corpses that Occeus finds for the sake of his revitalization experiments.

== Trivia ==
* '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.
* 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.
* 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.
** This is in contrast to Ellsee's left eye, which looks like [[Kheparia|Kheparia's]].
* 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]]''.
* 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.]
* Occeus is the only one of the main 12 who doesn't have a Filler account.
*Occeus is canonically autistic, having been confirmed on Discord by creator Austinado<ref name=":0" /> and shows many symptoms of social difficulty in chatlogs and hyperfixation through his focus on work.

Taz Poemme

2023-11-03T07:25:33Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{/Infobox}}

'''Taz Poemme''' (short for '''Tazsia''') known by her [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|tazsia|perniciousOverkill}}, is one of the [[troll]]s 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 "Terrifying Cultish Murder Clown" fantroll archetype.

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.

She was the second troll introduced and the second troll to enter the game.

== Etymology ==
Her preferred name of 'Taz' is a reference to actual professional wrestler [[wikipedia:Tazz|Tazz]]. "Poemme" may be a [[troll]]ification of the word ''poem''.

== Biography ==

===Early life===
Taz was kept captive by [[Pozzol Broyer]] in the [[Mirthamaniacs]] under the statement that it was her destiny as [[Fortmistress Deadlock|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 "go pro" and commit to his orders, chaining herself permanently to the Mirthamaniacs. She took the bargain.

According to Arcjec, she ruined his life by doing something that ended up changing him into who he is today.

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.

=== Pre-game ===
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.

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.

Taz then messages her moirail, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], 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.

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.
[[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]]
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.

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.

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.

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 on her own entry. She and [[Laivan Ferroo|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.

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.

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.

=== During the Game ===
[[File:Taz god tier.png|thumb|256x256px|Taz as a Pureself Sylph of Rage, as seen in [S] Arcjec: Enter.]]
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.

In [S] Engage, she was seen exploring her land, [[Land of Growth and Gravity]].

In [S] Ellsee: Enter., she was seen killing a monster using her strife specibus: [[macekind]], as one of her [[consorts]] gave her a winding key.

As shown through Albion's visions when interacting with [[Star Guardian|her lusus]], Taz may eventually become her [[pureself]]. How this happens and through what method is currently unknown.

== Personality and traits ==
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.

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]].

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.

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.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Albion Shukra ===
[[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 "special kind of scary" and "perfect".

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.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
[[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.

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.

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 "extremely red" feelings for each other<ref>{{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}}</ref>, "miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it"<ref>{{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}}</ref>, and "are in love and very upset at themselves all the time"<ref>{{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}}</ref>.

=== Murrit Turkin ===
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.

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.
=== Minkmom ===
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.

=== Azbogah ===
Upon meeting her, Taz is immediately critical and distrustful of the [[Azbogah|denizen of Rage]], before the Denizen interrupts Taz to speak her mind.

[[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.

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.

=== Occeus Coliad ===
The two appear to have been involved in a now-ended black relationship with one another. It appears that Taz occasionally fluctuates into the ashen quadrant with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], with Albion acting as mediator. This would indicate some on-going enmity between the two.

=== Ellsee Raines ===
It is implied that Ellsee harbors black 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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* '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.
* Taz's pet rock "The Rock" 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]].
* Taz likes to eat steak and presumably other forms of meat raw.
* Taz does, in fact, drink [[wikipedia:Faygo|Faygo]], which to Mirthamaniacs is known as 'Pinfall Fuel'. Her favorite flavor is Peach.
* The wrestler Taz murdered in her first Fort Match and reassembled with concrete is famed WWE all-star [[wikipedia:Kane (wrestler)|Kane]].
* Based on her blood color, aspect, and dream moon, her true sign on Alternia would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Capricorn Capricorn, Sign of the Capricious.]
*Taz runs a Filler account under the username razzmatazz.
* She is the tallest of the main twelve, Standing at 6’5

Jentha Briati

2023-11-03T07:24:33Z

Tooth: Updated links (shut up overzealousdirective)

{{/Infobox}}

'''Jentha Briati''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|jentha|furbishFacilitated}}, is one of the main characters in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is [[Wikipedia:Tin|Tin]], and she is a deconstruction of the "useless" fantroll archetype.<ref>[https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq]</ref>

Jentha's [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is nuclear discharge, but it seems mostly inactive right now after repression.

She was the twelfth troll introduced and the ninth troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
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. Though as a feminine adjective, the word also means various synonyms of 'strong'.

==Biography==

===Early life===
Jentha's early life is revealed in a flashback segment in Act 3 Act 1. 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{{VE|1911}}. 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]] sought to make up for in some way{{VE|1920}}.

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.

After playing for some time, Murrit pushes Dismas off a construct, greatly upsetting Jentha and causing her survival ability to explode due to her lack of control over her emotions{{VE|1968}}. 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.

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). 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 weaves a cocoon for themself shortly after, and is yet to emerge.{{VE|2051}}

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]].

===Act 2===
Jentha's first spoken line happens during one of [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee Raines's]] memos, {{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}{{VE|448}}, when Jentha accidentally sends the letter "h" 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.

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.

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 "go off script".

During the events of {{VE|1000|2=[S] 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.

===Act 3 Act 1===
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.

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}}.

==Personality and Traits==
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.

She collects and cares for "outcast" 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 "nursery" of toys for kids and other nostalgic interests.

== Relationships==

===Dismas Mersiv===
[[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.

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.

===Murrit Turkin===
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 "stupidhead" rather than a malicious person.

===Occeus Coliad===
[[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] is Jentha's server player. She doesn't care much for him, having told him to go "jump off a cliff" 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.

===Sova Amalie===
[[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}}.

==Trivia==

*Jentha is canonically asexual, as confirmed by the ''Vast Error'' official Tumblr.<ref>[https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/185536799269/is-jentha-aroace https://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/185536799269/is-jentha-aroace]</ref>
*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.]
*Jentha runs a Filler account under the username grembox.
**The account uniquely does not list pronouns, whereas everyone else's accounts do (Calder's Sideline account being the exception). Additionally, Jentha's [[Trollodex]] card lists "[PENDING APPROVAL]" next to her pronouns, implying an intentional lack of clarity on Jentha's part.
*The name of Jentha's furby from when she was a child, Toh-Loo-Kah, is furbish for "Like Me"<ref>https://official-furby.fandom.com/wiki/Furbish_(language)</ref>
*Jentha accidentally 'foreshadowed' Dismas and Albion's future transition by immediately critiquing their given names. Time will tell if this is a genuine sixth sense.
* She is implied to be Autistic.

Bytcon Krypto

2023-11-03T07:19:14Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Bytcon Krypto''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Take.

He was first revealed in the February 18th Trollodex reveal alongside [[Cadlys Rankor]]. His bullet points were:
* hodl
* bad investments are good investments so you can sell the bad investments to people who don't know what you're talking about.
* 🤑

== Etymology ==
Bytcon comes from "Bitcoin", while Krypto comes from "Cryptocurrency", which Bitcoin is a type of.

== Biography ==

=== Before ''Snowbound Blood'' ===
Bytcon's introduction to the world of business was as a young conman. Secily speculates that his interest was sparked more from greed than from desperation, simply finding it an enjoyable and profitable experience. He quickly rose through the ranks of cheaters and scammers and started to make a name for himself, and eventually, he joined the television and showbusiness.

Eventually, he moved on to "''business'' business," steadily consuming more of a hold on the economy. At some point, he became involved with "cyphercash," the Repitonian equivalent of cryptocurrency, and was the one who singlehandedly popularized it. He personally crafted or at least popularized more than 1,000 forms of cyphercash, and even still is constantly thinking of new ones.

=== During ''Snowbound Blood'' ===
Bytcon is the first suspect [[Secily]] chooses to confront after interviewing the suspects [[Hamifi]] recommended. After sweeps of trying to convict him for his less-than-legal business practices, she assumes that his fortune and influence in criminal circles might have placed him near the Vififier's blood, and approaches him at work. After an increasingly aggressive verbal and eventually physical confrontation, Secily has to accept that her intuition was wrong and that Bytcon is not the person she's looking for.

Bytcon and Secily meet again in [[Raurou|Raurou's]] restaurant in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Six]] and in [[Crytum|Crytum's]] apartment in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Ten]]. During this last confrontation, Bytcon takes offense with Secily's comparison between him and [[Aumtzi|Noxious]], causing the situation to once again escalate and [[Endari]] to ask Secily to leave the apartment.

=== During ''Vast Error'' ===
Bytcon, alongside the rest of The Boys, appears in [[Vast Error: Intermission 2 Side 2|I2S2]]. When Necron discovers that the Harbingers of the Alpocalypse are planning an attack during Sestro's inauguration ceremony, he and The Boys race to [[Stronghold 21]] to try and prevent the massacre. After the battle, they retreat to [[Eidolic Acres]]{{VE|1633}}.

== Personality and traits ==
Bytcon can be likened to an explosive TV personality, constantly bursting with excitement and attention-grabbing phrases and offers. He has a particular fondness for winning, which he is very good at doing, but also expresses contempt for the idea of mundanity and predictability. This love for the constantly fluctuating likely explains Bytcon's particular interest in cryptocurrency.

He's likened very frequently to rats, even though he apparently has no rat lusus on record. He's quick-thinking, agile and incredibly hard to track down and catch in the act, hence his continued freedom despite his presumed phenomenal track record of criminal acts.

== Relationships ==

=== Endari Vernir ===
[[Endari Vernir|Endari]], like Bytcon, is a member of The Boys. When pressed for an alibi, Bytcon directs [[Secily Iopara|Secily]] to talk to Endari, telling her that they're {{VE Quote|bytcon|very close.}} In Snowbound Blood: Volume 6, it is strongly implied that Endari is Bytcon's matesprit. The two are seen attending [[Raurou Dersal|Raurou]]'s cooking class together and being quite publicly affectionate. Despite generally being as brash as usual, he falls quiet and blushes when Endari compliments him.

=== Divino Nikola ===
Divino is Bytcon's moirail.

=== Secily Iopara ===
Secily and Bytcon's relationship is cool at best and openly hostile at worst, with Bytcon openly provoking Secily and Secily frequently threatening him with physical violence. Secily's resentment for Bytcon seems to be fueled by both his illegal and immoral business practices and her own inability to ever catch him in the act, despite having set her eyes on him for sweeps. In her inner monologue, she frequently compares him to a rat, calling him a {{VE quote|secily|slimy little rodent}} and other unflattering epithets. Bytcon, on the other hand, takes pleasure in riling her up. However, he seems to be willing to ignore their unpleasant earlier encounters when they meet outside of the [[Currency Dome]], and is hurt when Secily compares him to [[Aumtzi Maught|Noxious]] at the end of Crytum's route.

== Trivia ==
* His would-be classpect is Thief of Heart.
* According to the tags on the [http://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/182885918909/trollodex-declassification-progress-260 tumblr post about his reveal], if you fuse him with [[Cadlys Rankor|Cadlys]] you get {{MSPAW External|Tagora_Gorjek|Tagora}}.
*"hodl" is a reference to HODL, slang for holding cryptocurrency rather than selling it.
*If you look closely at his character select, a small distorted rat version of Bytcon is seen with the text "be as quiet as a '''rat.'''"
* He is 6'1.

Hayyan Refero

2023-11-03T07:17:40Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Hayyan Refero''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Cuprum Arsenicatum.

In [https://twitter.com/SyndicationVE/status/1103898139042418688 Hayyan's trollodex entry], his bullet points are listed as:
* sells arms of every caliber
* has special eyes, her brand

== Etymology ==

== Biography ==
=== During ''Snowbound Blood'' ===
Hayyan owns a gunship named ''Gunhildr'', where he met his future moirail [[Rypite]]. [[Secily]] visits him in [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Ten]] to equip herself with new weaponry before her confrontation with [[Aumtzi|Noxious]], and to possibly discuss her case with Hayyan since he is stated to be "good at puzzles". After catching her snooping through his documents, Hayyan reprimands Secily harshly, calling her out the regulators' abuse of power and telling her to leave. Secily complies, but returns after calming down outside of the shop. In answer to her apology and humbled demeanor, Hayyan accepts three question regarding Secily's case. His insights cause her to finally confront Yeshin.

=== During ''Vast Error'' ===
Hayyan is among the crowd at Sestro's inauguration in [[Vast Error: Intermission 2 Side 2]]{{VE|1483}} and can later be spotted at [[Eidolic Acres]] {{VE|1631}}.

== Personality and traits ==
{{empty}}

== Relationships ==

=== Urscio Cerbon ===
Urscio is Hayyan's matesprit. She was designed by GreaserParty.

=== Rypite Koldan ===
Rypite is Hayyan's moirail. Hayyan is protective of Rypite, shielding him with his body when he thinks Secily is about to attack, and giving Secily the stink eye when she spoils the solution to a crossword puzzle for Rypite

=== Secily Iopara ===
Hayyan and [[Secily]] share many traits, like their hairstyle, love of chess, and proficiency with weaponry. As long as their encounter is being mediated by Rypite and [[Sirage]], they interact politely and exchange puns, but the atmosphere quickly turns cold once they're left alone. Hayyan resents Corporate's regulators for their abuse of power, in general, and Secily, for her behavior in his show and towards Rypite, in particular. He is very clear that even after helping her, he wants nothing to do with Secily, but still offers his insights and even goes as far as wishing Secily {{VE quote|hayyan|=G⨀⨀d luck} when she leaves.

Hayyan refuses to "play Secily's game" by cutting her off and making his own moves in the game of chess playing out in Secily's typing quirk. When Secily comes to speak to him the second time, she drops her quirk completely, which she usually only does around Mshiri.

== Trivia ==
* His would-be classpect is Mage of Time.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20201022235349/https://twitter.com/0cceus/status/1319424751262105601 According to his creator], Hayyan is experimenting with he/him pronouns.

Cadlys Rankor

2023-11-03T07:15:13Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{/Infobox}}

'''Cadlys Rankor''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Crucible.

He was first revealed in the February 18th Trollodex, alongside [[Bytcon Krypto]]. Their bullet points were:
* monotone magnanimity
* what's your classpect lol
* you're not his all-mother

==Etymology==
Cadlys is a corruption of the word "catalyst". Rankor most likely comes from the word "rancor", meaning "bitterness".

== Biography ==
===In ''Haustoria''===
Nearing the end of ''Haustoria'', they start talking with [[Gerbat Batrav|Gerbat]] about the disease in the village. None of their conversations are exactly known, but Cadlys is noted to be great help. They suggest to Gerbat that the possible source is the tree planted by [[Kheparia]] followers, otherwise known as the Grove of Essence. The two also worked together to figure out spore presences, the fact the disease is more alchemic and a tea that helps detect whether someone is sick.

===In ''Snowbound Blood''===
Cadlys is an avid chemist, creating potions and acids of many different kinds and selling the ones they consider to be failures on the dark web for a living. He makes these concoctions in the safety of his bunker, located somewhere within a graveyard of skulltitan bones near [[Occeus's hive|Occeus' hive]]. They also live with their bonded matesprit, Mariel, and Dia, a young troll the two of them took in at some point in the past.

His goal is seemingly to create "aqua vitae", the water of life, which [[Secily Iopara|Secily]] notes as a liquid said to cleanse rivers and "bring those who are suffering back to reality once more." Their motive may be to heal [[Repiton]] and restore it.

During the events of ''[[Snowbound Blood: Volume Six]],'' Cadlys invites Secily inside his home to talk, although he cannot offer more than anecdotes about his experiences having [[Aumtzi Maught|Noxious]] as a client. At the end of their route, they point Secily toward [[Oricka Rourst|Oricka]]'s matesprit and known vigilante across Repiton's criminal underbelly: [[Necron Exmort]], the Ashbringer.

As of [[Vast Error: Intermission 2 Side 2|Intermission 2 Side 2]], Cadlys appears to be taking refuge at [[Eidolic Acres]] with some of the other Snowbound Blood characters.

== Personality and traits ==
Cadlys is the type of person to conceal his true self, as seen by his literal mask and his metaphorical mask, his wide grin. They tend to be casual about most things. However, when it comes to things such as a certain concoction named Takeaway that he has stored away, the mask comes off and he presents himself as cold and dead serious, changing his quirk as a result.

They also became a bit vulnerable when talking about Dia, most likely having a very personal connection to whatever happened to her.

== Relationships ==
===Mariel Solana===
Also referred to as Marie, Mariel is a troll designed by Zamboozle. She is known to be Cadlys' bonded matesprit.

=== Delivy Amatii ===
Delivy is a troll designed by GreaserParty. She is Cadlys' moirail.

===Diania Lextio===
Commonly referred to as Dia, Diania is a troll designed by GreaserParty. She is a troll that Cadlys took in, due to the fact that she {{VE Quote|cadlys|lost everything.}} They hold a familial bond.

=== Noxious ===
Cadlys says he has not spoken much with [[Aumtzi Maught|Noxious]] outside of trading goods with him.

== Trivia ==
* According to the tags on the [https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/182885918909/trollodex-declassification-progress-260 tumblr post about his reveal], if you fuse him with [[Bytcon Krypto|Bytcon]] you get Tagora.
* His would-be classpect is Rogue of Rage.
*Cadlys' theme is a reference to Justin Kuritzkes' Potion Seller video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_FQU4KzN7A</ref>

Crytum Lydian

2023-11-03T07:10:26Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Crytum Lydian''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Electrum.

He was first revealed in the February 24th [[Trollodex]] reveal, alongside [[Rypite Koldan]]. His bullet points were:
* a technological genius
* body is now 70% soda, 0% sleep
* just like one of his Repitonian animes!

== Etymology ==
Crytum comes from a combination of the Latin words for gold and silver, chryseum and argentum. Lydian comes from the Lydians, the people of the Iron Age of Lydia, who were some of the first people to use gold and silver currency, tying back to Crytum's sigil, Electrum (an alloy of gold and silver).

== Biography ==

=== Before ''Snowbound Blood'' ===

Prior to the events of Snowbound Blood, Crytum was in an abusive moiraillegiance with an unnamed troll. During a fight, his ex-moirail fell into the ocean and never resurfaced leaving Crytum unsure of his fate. After that event he began transitioning, gained an emotional support lusus and met The Boys. [[Aumtzi]] would later attempt to blackmail Crytum over his ex-moirail but was unsuccessful.

=== During ''Snowbound Blood'' ===

Crytum's skill with computers leads [[Secily]] to his apartment, beginning the events of his Snowbound Blood route. He tries to track [[Aumtzi]]'s location by tracking his IP address, but only succeeds in doing so shortly before the start of Volume 11. During [[Necron]] and Secily's attempt to confront Aumtzi, he acts as their information handler under the codename 'Lettuce'.

=== During ''Vast Error'' ===

Crytum stays in contact with Necron and [[Oricka]] to keep track of the cultist's activities and the fallout of the Snowbound Blood case{{VE|1476}}. When Necron discovers that the Harbingers of the Alpocalypse are planning an attack during Sestro's inauguration ceremony, he and The Boys race to [[Stronghold 21]] to try and prevent the massacre. After the battle, they retreat to [[Eidolic Acres]]{{VE|1633}}.

== Personality and Traits ==
Crytum is a meek, polite troll with great interest in anime and videogames, particularly the show Revolutionary Girl Outena for inspiring him to fight back against his ex-moirail, and feels hurt when others look down on his interests. He is trying to move on from his abusive moiraillegiance, and when others ask if he is searching for another, he is annoyed at the assumption that he needs one. Crytum questions whether he's actually ever felt pale attraction towards anyone and expresses disinterest in finding another.

== Relationships ==

=== Glomer Hicner ===
The two are matespirits. When Crytum first moved to the Stronghold he found himself lost and attempted to fill the emptiness with work and hobbies and he credits Glomer for being able to anchor him. In addition, both had previously troubled moirallegiances.

=== Sabine Berare ===
[[Sabine Berare|Sabine]] is Crytum's upstairs neighbor, a goldblood that tends to make a lot of racket and bother Crytum.

</gallery>

== Trivia ==
* Crytum and Rypite's trollodex entry was the first to be revealed with an additional comment: "[Not to criticize your investigative skills, Secily, but these two? Re a l l y ?]"
* His would-be classpect is Maid of Blood.
* He is canonically trans, as confirmed by the Vast Error official Tumblr.<ref>[https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/184975658609/are-any-of-the-vast-error-trolls-trans-or-have-any]</ref>
* He is also confirmed to be asexual as shown by a stack of objects arranged to look like the asexual flag on the shelf in his room, alongside a similar looking stack arranged to look like the transgender flag above them.
* He is 5'7.
* The third bullet point on Crytum's trollodex entry is a reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y31G-oH0Iuk Otacon's quote] in Metal Gear Solid.
* He is canonically Autistic

Sabine Berare

2023-11-03T07:07:44Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Sabine Berare''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Reverberation.

In [https://twitter.com/SyndicationVE/status/1102448587601002496 Sabine's trollodex entry], his bullet points are listed as:
* uhm, akshually
* hey, hey you. yeah, you! you know what kind of frequency this is?
* already knows the answer

== Etymology ==
His last name comes from 'reverberate'. His first name is a Dutch feminine name meaning 'peacemaker'.

== Biography ==
{{empty}}

== Personality and Traits ==
Sabine is employed as a junior designer for Corporate, designing all sorts of graphics for clients (ranging from logos for departments/products to Skorpe themes). He almost exclusively employs bright neon colors in his work, a decision that's every bit as intentional as it is eye-searing. His true passion, however, lies in audio production. Sabine enjoys music (dubstep in particular) and listens to it incredibly loudly and without consideration for the comfort of others.

Sabine is egotistical, intellectual, and obsessed with the idea of achievement and accomplishment. He loves being better than other people, and he thrives on feeling superior in whatever way he can by frequently pointing out minor ways he performs better than others.

His survival ability allows him to control sound waves, which allows him to do anything from making his voice echo to amplifying sounds around him to honing in on specific conversations in a crowded, busy room. He claims he's able to use his powers to hear a pin drop in the Black Depths, though the accuracy of this claim has yet to be confirmed.

== Relationships ==

=== Noxious ===
Sabine is briefly implied to have been contacting [[Aumtzi Maught|Noxious]] in Snowbound Blood Volume 8, in which the Skorpehandle that Noxious uses appears on Sabine's chat window. How they interact with each other is currently unknown, but Sabine refuses to acknowledge that he's contacted Noxious when questioned about his handle appearing on his computer screen until Secily pushes further.

It's implied that Noxious tried to bring down Sabine's confidence, as Sabine appears to get vulnerable and upset while talking about him briefly.

=== Myarty Angelo ===
Myarty was designed by Ciro and is known as Sabine's moirail.

=== Omledu Fromaj ===
Omledu was designed by Ciro and is known as Sabine's kismesis. He was most likely based off of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory in contrast to Sabine being partially inspired by Mandark from the same series.

== Trivia ==
* His would-be classpect is Prince of Time.
* Sabine's character contains numerous references to characters played by actor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Deezen Eddie Deezen].
** Sabine's second bullet point references the unnamed [https://polarexpress.fandom.com/wiki/Know-It-All Know-It-All Kid] from The Polar Express, who asks the protagonist if he knows what kind of train he's in. He also asks [[Secily Iopara|Secily]] what kind of monorail they're on in his Snowbound Blood route.
** Sabine's third bullet point references [https://dexterslab.fandom.com/wiki/Mandark Mandark]'s introductory episode in Dexter's Laboratory, where Mandark was smart enough to know the answers to questions before they were even asked.
** On his [https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/183208144964/trollodex-declassification-progress-609-ah trollodex reveal post on Tumblr], the tags state that Sabine canonically sounds and laughs like Mandark. Sabine has Mandark's signature laughing pose in his trollodex image as well.
** Raurou mentioned that Sabine had demanded he perform a literal song and dance number before he considered it acceptable for consumption. This is a reference to the Hot Chocolate sequence from The Polar Express, and is perhaps a similar musical number to what Raurou had to perform.
* He is canonically Autistic

Secily Iopara

2023-11-03T07:05:57Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{/Infobox}}

'''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.

She was first revealed in the February 11th Trollodex, alongside an [[Aumtzi Maught|unknown troll]]. Her bullet points were:
* never forgets a face
* you don't want to be on her list
* pessimistic duelist

== Etymology ==
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.

== Biography ==
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.

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.

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.

Secily was assigned to lead Operation Snowbound Blood, the investigation of the theft of a philter of the [[Zekura Raines|Vivifier's]] blood.

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.

== Personality and traits ==
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.

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]].)

Secily also has huge issues with loud environments, this is shown by her extreme discomfort at Bytcon Krypto's casino.

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.

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.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Ahlina Robiad ===
[[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.

She carries deep regret and guilt over not being able to save her.

=== Yeshin Laevis ===
[[Yeshin Laevis|Yeshin]] is Secily's kismesis. As such, she has a habit of getting under Secily's nerves.

=== Mshiri Libeta ===
[[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 "playing a game" 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.

Mshiri knows Secily extremely well and can easily read her, despite her cold and guarded mannerisms with others.

=== Sestro Enthal & Hamifi Hekrix ===
[[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.

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.

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.

=== Oricka Rourst ===
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}}.

=== Necron Exmort ===
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.

=== Occeus Coliad & Ellsee Raines ===
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.

During ''[[Sabine Berare|Sabine's]] [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Eight|route]]'', she is reminded of Occeus and wonders how they're both doing.

=== Husske Mayzee ===
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.

== Trivia ==
* Her would-be classpect is Knight of Void.
* One of her Trollodex entry bullet points is a reference to Optimistic Duelist, a popular Homestuck theorist.
* 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.
* She is canonically trans, as confirmed by the Vast Error official Tumblr.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|date=May 18, 2019|quote=secily [… is] trans|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/184975658609}}</ref> She is also canonically autistic.
* 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.
* She has some grey hair.
* Sabine gave her a middle name, Aletheia, which follows the 8-letter ancestor naming pattern.
** Sabine specifically mentioned this, saying she was old enough for an 8-letter title
**in volume 2, she is implied to be stimming on her way to meet Rypite Koldan
*She is around 6'2<ref>{{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}}</ref>

Sova Amalie

2023-11-03T06:30:21Z

Tooth: Updated links

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Sova Amalie}}
{{/Infobox}}

'''Sova Amalie''' (short for Sovara), also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Silver and she is a deconstruction of the "tragic victim" fantroll archetype.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref>

She was the eleventh troll introduced and the eighth troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
"Sova" means "owl" 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 "seriously". "Amalie" resembles ''Amélie'', a French given name meaning "work", 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.

==Biography==

===Early life===
According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after school "caged" 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.

===Act 1===
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.

===Act 2===
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.

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.

After {{VE|641|2=[S] 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 "caretaker". Serpaz urges her to let the past go, but fails to properly assuage Sova's distress.

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.

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 "clear her sight" and ignore the creatures, as they {{VE Quote|occeus|thrive .o.n y.o.ur attenti.o.n}}.

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.

Sova successfully enters [[the Medium]] during {{VE|1000|2=[S] Ellsee: Enter.}} Her talk with her denizen is not shown.

===Act 3 Act 1===
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.

[[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.

==Personality and Traits==
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.

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 "a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself."<ref>{{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}}</ref>

It has been implied that Sova deals with PTSD due to her difficult past with Dexous.

==Relationships==

===Albion Shukra===
[[File:Sova_worrying.gif|thumb|Sova worrying about Albion.|220x220px]]
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.

It has been confirmed that the two are not bonded, as they are still a relatively new relationship.<ref>{{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}}</ref>

===Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo===
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]].

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.

===Occeus Coliad===
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.

===Dexous===
[[File:00657.gif|alt=|thumb|220x220px|Sova in Dexous' captivity.]]
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 "angel", can trigger Sova, leading her to emotionally withdraw and experience flashbacks.

===Jentha Briati===
[[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}}.

==Trivia==

*Sova's chat handle, {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, means "red story", with sanguine meaning "blood red" and an allegory being "a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one".

Arcjec Voorat

2023-11-03T00:34:49Z

Tooth: Updated Tumblr page links with the new username and added a post date (the wiki's taking long as hell to load pages for me this will probably take a while)

{{/Infobox}}

'''Arcjec Voorat''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|arcjec|animatedHumorist}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is Magnesium, though a modified version of the symbol. They are a deconstruction of the "self insert" and "main character" fantroll archetypes.<ref>[https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq]</ref>

Their [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is being able to play dead by slowing their metabolism down.

He was the first troll to be introduced and enter the game.

== Biography==

===Early life===
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.

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.

He seems to have been the "glue" holding their friend group together, having been depicted throughout the comic engaging in many different activities with the great majority of the main cast.

===Act 1===
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.

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.

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.

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: "It's the only way."

[[File:Pg271.png|left|thumb|Arcjec being forced out of his window to look at the incoming meteor.|alt=]]
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.

During the events of {{VE|310|2=[S] 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.

===Act 2===
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.

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]].
[[File:Pg375.png|thumb|192x192px|One of the only times Arcjec has smiled.]]
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]].

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.

He then speaks with the multicolored snake consort, accidentally naming him "Guy". [[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.

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.

Overwhelmed, Arcjec freezes in place. He then finds himself in a featureless "mind space", 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.

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.

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.

During {{VE|641|2=[S] 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.

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.

[[File:BeatsTakingTheSubway.gif|left|thumb|220x220px|Arcjec's first craft: Beats Taking the Subway]]
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.

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.

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.

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.

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|>([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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

During the events of {{VE|1000|2=[S] 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.

===Post-EOA2===
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.

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.

===Act 3 Act 1===
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.

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.

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.

==Personality and traits==
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 "should" be and how they work in the "real world", 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.

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 "friendleader" 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.

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<ref>{{VE Quote|wn|Now, if it had been a Mountain Dew: Code Red, then you’d be a little worried. That stuff is a real potent antidepressant.}} - ''Snowbound Blood:'' Volume Eight</ref> on Repiton - is further confirmation of the fact, having even been labelled an addiction in the comic's text.

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,

His blood is of a unique "corn syrup" 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]].

==Relationships==

===Taz Poemme===
[[File:Pg264.png|thumb|220x220px|Arcjec and Taz's first time talking in two sweeps. It goes as well as it can.]]
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.

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.

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 "extremely red" feelings for each other<ref>{{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}}</ref>, "miss each other but are too upset and stubborn to admit it"<ref>{{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}}</ref>, and "are in love and very upset at themselves all the time"<ref>{{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}}</ref>.

===Laivan Ferroo===
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.

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.

=== Ellsee Raines===
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.

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.]

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.

===Murrit Turkin===
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 "slam jockey with more exposed RGB wires than common decency". When telling [[Zehanpuryu]] about what he believes should have happened post-entry, he admits that Murrit is a "friend" and that he is "actually way worse at explaining things than you or this game."

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 "hate when they do that" after Murrit bans themself from a memo.

===Jentha Briati===
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.

===Calder Kerian===
[[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.

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 "different now" and that "it feels like I don't know who I'm talking to." 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.

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.

===Serpaz Helilo===
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.

===Albion Shukra===
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 "one of the few people" 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.

===Sova Amalie===
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 "(snide as he may be at times... at the end of the night, ARCJEC has been nothing but genuinely "real" with [her].)"<ref>https://www.deconreconstruction.com/bonus/ama1/1 Sova's portion of the Cast AMA</ref> They don't seem to have any problems with each other.

===Occeus Coliad===
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 "charitable" and what Arcjec is doing is "weird". There seems to be some sort of tension between the two but not that much.

==Trivia==

*Arcjec's chat handle, {{VE Quote|arcjec|animatedHumorist}}, is a holdover from when they were younger, meaning "energetic comedian". "Animated" could also refer to cartoons, an interest Arcjec had in his youth.
*Arcjec is often compared to {{MSPAW External|Karkat_Vantas|Karkat Vantas}}, due to their similarly cantankerous demeanors, penchants for tirades and roles as "the first troll" in their respective comics. This has made shipping the two characters to become a running joke in the fandom, which was brought to a head during April Fool's Day in 2017, when a [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/bonus/april-fools-day-2017/1 short four-page bonus comic] dedicated to the concept was published on the site
*Arcjec has a canonical voice, that of which belonging to Paul Henderson, who also happens to be the voice of Karkat Vantas in the Voxus dub of Homestuck. Examples of his part being played include the Yulepassing PSA, and Arcalicious.
* The fake names given to Arcjec on pages 3 and 4 of the comic are "hypocritical asshat" and "little shit".
*Arcjec has a habit of saying whatever he happens to be typing out loud.
*Being a Prospit dreamer, (technically) a bronzeblood and a Hero of Breath, Arcjec's would-be extended zodiac sign is [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Taurus Taurus, Sign of the Unfledged.]
* Arcjec has a figurine of {{MSPAW External|John_Egbert|John Egbert}} in his room. {{VE|971}}
*He runs a Filler account under the username NextIssue.
**This username may be a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Issue_Project Next Issue Project].
**It is the only abandoned account out of the cast.
* He began smoking after what happened with Taz

Calder Kerian

2023-10-25T00:16:05Z

Tooth: Added an image to Calder's gallery

{{/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.

Calder is based off of the "Disrespected Royalty" fantroll archetype.

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.

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.

==Etymology==
The name Calder means "rocky waters" in Celtic. The name Kerian is another variant of the name ''Kyrian'', coming from the Greek ''kyrie'', meaning "Lord".

== Biography ==

=== Kindergarten ===
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 noted that he wouldn't help the children escape their sleeping quarters to go play.

=== Six Sweeps ===
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.

=== Pre-game ===
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.

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.

Afterwards, him and Ellsee 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.

=== During the Game ===
Calder's first appearance in his land is shown in [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1000 <nowiki>[S] Ellsee: Enter.</nowiki>] He stands in murky waters, greeted by his swan consorts, to which he proceeds to give [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2206 rather unflattering names to.]

The structure of the land itself seems to have a similar landscape to Venice, Italy with most buildings water locked and the only reliable method of transportation being swan-led boat. 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 [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/2210 human woman], much to Calder's dismay- is shown within one of the buildings, being the gateway further down into the world.

After a tense confrontation with Arcjec, Calder is revealed to be working alongside [[Edolon Vryche]]{VE|2222}.

== Personality and Traits ==
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.

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.

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 any of it.

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.

== Relationships ==
=== Murrit Turkin ===
[[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 "love" 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.
=== Occeus Coliad ===
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.

=== Serpaz Helilo ===
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.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
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.

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
Similarly, Calder was once friends with [[Laivan Ferroo]].

=== Ellsee Raines ===
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.

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.

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.

=== Sestro Enthal & Secily Iopara ===
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.

In Occeus's route, Secily quickly recognizes grandioseSaturation as Calder from his Skorpe conversations with Occeus.

In her thoughts, Secily expresses surprise at the fact that Calder is not a part of her provided suspect list.

=== Edolon Vryche ===
This entry contains key spoilers for the plot of Vast Error.

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.

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.

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.

== Trivia ==
* 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.
** Like Equius, Calder often concerns himself on whether other people are acting properly within their caste.
** 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 "''smoking'' cigarettes" (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.
* 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.]
* Calder's [[Skorpe]] handle is 'grandioseSaturation'
** Grandiosity is another term for narcissism.
** The word saturation means "the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed"
** 'grandioseSaturation' may mean "over absorbed narcissism".

* 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.
* 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.
*Calder runs a Filler account under the username Sideline for his magazine of the same name.
*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.
*In [[Snowbound Blood]], he is described as having a "sandpaper-harsh, salty voice" during a phone call with [[Sestro Enthal]] in Chapter 1.
