The count climbs to four!

Am I on the list, if not let me explain.

If Gorrma as much as approaches my hive I'll make sure the first thing she comes across is a poison-filled blade bomb of Greater Constipation. Then I'll lock her in a cell, watch her slowly die, then send the security recording to the library troll for safekeeping.

Also, in regards to Menarker's CS: Most of it seems fine (though the fact that he's 2 years older than most of us and wears a bucket on his head makes him pretty damn creepy), but I'm really not sure about the mind-reading bit. Yes, even if it's just surface thoughts. It doesn't seem thematically necessary, and in interactions with other PCs it'd give a lot of potential for god-moding. Or conflict, at the very least. Not to mention that we've never actually seen into a character's mind in homestuck before. We've seen their reactions, but never their thoughts. That's a good pattern. I really don't think we should break it for the sake of minor mind-reading powers.
So, Menarker. Could you go without? It doesn't really seem necessary for your character, and I think it might not benefit the RP later.

Well, originally, it was a "Suggestion" ability where it was like mind control but it could only force someone to accept orders which they felt was "acceptable" or even "favorable". Bard was the one who suggested Surface Thought reading as a acceptable replacement. Main purpose is to assist Sharl with bargining with people (he's a merchant sort of character) and to avoid being cheated, as well as get an idea of what the "client" he's talking to would probably like to trade for. I don't intend for it to be a sort of spider sense or total telepath sort of guy.

If you could think of a viable replacement aside from "being genuinely convincing", then I would consider replacing it like how I replaced the Suggestion ability with Surface Thought Reading.

You are soooooo not invited to her tea party.

Name: Vintag Socius

Gender: Female

Age: 6 Solar Sweeps

Appearance:
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...n/Vintag-1.png
She wears a vest suit and a black bowler hat that her horns go through.The horns are long, slender, and curve like slicked back hair. Two fangs jut out like buck teeth. She's rather small in build and height. Beady eyes.

Lusus: Vintag's Lusus is Vicki Minchilla, the Talking Manchilla! That's like a chinchilla, only mannish. Tall, with spindly limbs and a round body, like an old Disney cartoon. He always wears gloves, but also dons a tophat and cane to perform a SHAMEFUL JIG. Vintag hates that jig. Despite that, she considers him her partner in crime/entertainment/then crime again and they're virtually inseparable.

Trollian Handle: burlesqueBalderdash

Blood Color: Pink, like pepto-bismal.

Hive: Communal Hive, Penthouse.

Strife Specibus: Skillet-Kind. Her first weapon is the Dead Pan, a cooking instrument made from the petrified flesh of a famous troll Lateral Locoshuttle robber. His soul haunts the pan, making its victims feel the chill of death. He hates Vintag's omelletes.

Fetch Modus: Slapstick modus. She accesses items only when it is comically appropriate.

Title: Herald of Silence

Dreamself: Derse

Interests: Vintag enjoys many things that are analoguous to the late 19th, early 20th century Earth styles, but are obviously different because these are trolls. These include penny-farthing, silent movies, and music. She also likes to cook greasy diner food.

Additional Notes: Preferring a life of solitude, Vintag spent most of her childhood preparing for her future profession as a troll historian. One day, as she took inventory of the various artifacts that she collected in her studies, she found a ancient moving picture device and an assortment. Surprisingly, it still functioned.

Vintag went to work uncovering the device's secrets. In this pursuit, a love for film spawned inside her like the metamorphosis of a pathological monster. She was particularly enamoured with the cool, handsome, male trolls like Quadrantino and Thinstashelin. The female trolls depicted in these films however, were, to her disgust, often flighty and hysterical. Vintag grew so obsessed that she chose to forsake her previous career to go on to remake the enterprise with the help of her Lusus.

Piiiiiiiink? Does that get put at the top of the hemospectrum, even higher than Feferi's Violet, or is it (yet another) mutant color? I'm guessing the latter, but I want to be sure.

Bard The 5th LW 11-05-2010 09:16 PM

I just sort of considered it somewhere between blue and purple, really don't know where to put it. Don't think you can surpass Fef though.

Arcanum 11-05-2010 09:23 PM

From what I've read I'm under the impression that Gorrma just goes with the flow when it comes to eating things and creating recipes. Meanwhile Rektek is obsessed with order and planning when it comes to creating music. Thus I propose they be the best of friends since they both love to create things that they view as works of art, despite the clashing methods that they use to create said things.

Overcast 11-05-2010 09:34 PM

And as I said before Leraje and Gorrma should be tangle buddies...wait no after seeing the full video not tangle buddies. But buds, fist bumps. But no double fist bumps until we get the other arm back.
