5	----
6	!Session Trolls
7
8	!!All Characters
9	* AlienBlood: Being trolls, they each have a different color of blood. All across the rainbow, too.
10
11	!!Agatha Heiter
12
13	''Your name is Agatha Heiter, and your occupation has saved many lives. Don't ask how many have been killed for that knowledge...''
14
15	transcendentAsclepian was a living rarity - a doctor from Alternia. Whilst normally soft-spoken, she has the tendency to ''snap.'' She ascended to the God Tiers after [[spoiler:her illness got the better of her.]]
16
17	!!! Tropes:
18	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Fail, and you might get killed.
19	%%* IncurableCoughofDeath
20	%%* BloodFromTheMouth
21	* CombatMedic: Agatha carries syringes as her main weapon, with syringe guns and a more recent syringe rapier. This is a doctor you do not want to mess with.
22	%%* EmpathicHealer
23	* HealingHands: Agatha is the Duchess of Mend. [[spoiler:After she ascended to her god tiers, she was able to heal others by transferring their injuries on to her own body.]]
24	* KillTheOnesYouLove: Agatha had an ex-matesprit. Had. [[spoiler:She almost killed him in self defense when he attacked her. She then proceeded to perform various experiments on him, and ultimately dissected him.]]
25	* LegFocus: Her legs were pointed out by Jezron after he was done [[spoiler:going batshit insane attacking everyone with whatever he could find in her hive]]. He later apologized to her for making a mess out of one of her rooms and for the comment about her legs.
26	* MyGreatestFailure: What, were you expecting her illness to be genetic? [[spoiler:When she was about four sweeps old, she experimented with a toxic chemical on herself. This is what caused her illness.]] [[spoiler:This also caused her to follow in the footsteps of her ancestor, Practitioner Ophanine, who died at a young age because she experimented on herself as well.]]
27	* FollowInMyFootsteps: Agatha, although she tried not to, ultimately followed in the footsteps of her ancestor.
28	* ProperTightsWithASkirt: There will be no thigh-highs here. A young female highblooded troll must dress appropriately.
29
30	!!Alcippe Zlotah
31
32	''Your name is Alcippe Zlotah, and you're a thriving businesswoman. Zippy Zlotah's delivers to trolls all across Alternia!''
33
34	highwayMonster was an engineer from the desert, servicing FLARP players by providing them with weapons. She recently entered the game after [[spoiler:Jezron's death]], proving herself to be an asset with her mechanical knowledge.
35
36	!!! Tropes:
37	%%* SixthRanger
38	%%* WrenchWench
39
40
41	!!Aragua Heyler
42
43	''Your name is Aragua Heyler, and you have a very important job to do. If you fail, all of Alternia will fall to the might of the horrorterrors...''
44
45	darkAtlantis is loud, direct, and ''touchy'' -- which is just what happens when you're isolated in a swamp for most of your life. Before she entered the game, she spent most of her time warding away the horrorterror influence she felt in the swamp - a duty she felt was of utmost importance.
46
47	!!! Tropes:
48	* AlienGeometries: The swamp she inhabited always began to get rather warped the closer you got to the center.
49	* AscendedExtra: She spends a good part of the game just supporting Sototh.
50	* BerserkButton: Pallida hits it when she tells Aragua her very blase stance on rape.
51	* BloodMagic: Not really magic per se, but she believed her rich, high-spectrum blood would help keep the horrorterrors at bay if she spread it around.
52	* CassandraTruth: Turns out all that nonsense she spewed at visitors about eldritch monsters trying to break through into their dimension was true! [[spoiler:Sort of.]]
53	* CloudCuckoolander: She was more prone to this when alone and sleepless for weeks.
54	* CuddleBug: Due to spending most of her life starved for physical contact.
55	* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: When in a dream state she is offered a ham sandwich by Nyarlathotep, which she refuses. ItMakesSenseInContext.
56	* DualWielding: In the past she's used two machete jawbone weapons at once.
57	* GenkiGirl: For someone who hardly sleeps she sure has a surprising amount of energy.
58	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: One of her likely fates, had she not joined the session.
59	%%* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Not that there's much to look at.
60	* TheInsomniac: For a while, before she found it was actually safe to fall asleep while in the game.
61	* ShoutOut: At one point she insists [[Film/FightClub "nobody ever died from insomnia."]]
62	* SleepCute: She's done this with Sototh and other team members. Her sleep schedule is so inconsistent she's prone to nodding off at odd hours and prefers to be near somebody when she does so.
63
64
65	!!Gallia Wuquus
66
67	''Your name is Gallia Wuquus, and you live to serve... you are, after all, a maid.''
68
69	equineReaction was the servant of a powerful woman before she entered the game, and she remained servile well into its development. When not hamstringed by that mindset, she reveals herself to be strict and mean -- with a slight hidden nice side.
70
71	!!! Tropes:
72	%%* BattleCouple: With Malhaut.
73	* BodyguardCrush: Determined to protect Malhaut, with the added spice of [[InsistentTerminology pitying]] him.
74	* BoomerangBigot: She believes strongly in the FantasticCasteSystem, despite being very low on the spectrum.
75	* GlacierWaif: Gallia is strong, slow and tanky. She's also 5'5".
76	%%* EmotionEater: One part of her title powers.
77	%%* TheEmpath: The other part of her title powers.
78	* FrozenFace: Due to her scars, one side of her face is unemotive, and most of her smaller expressions are hidden.
79	* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She couldn't believe a seadweller would like her!
80	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be a real jerk, but she's reasonably nice at heart. Reasonably.
81	* KindlyHousekeeper: Before she entered the game, she served this role to Arisme's household.
82	%%* NinjaMaid: Well, boxer maid.
83	* PowerFist: Gallia's weapons of choice are her fists.
84	* SlaveBrand: Arisme carved her symbol into Gallia's chest. She tends to hide the scar.
85	%%* StockholmSyndrome: She still believes that her old boss Arisme was not entirely in the wrong.
86	%%* SubordinateExcuse: To Malhaut, before They Did.
87	* WithDueRespect: It took Gallia a long time to break out of type of speech. She still uses it occasionally.
88
89
90
91	!!Jezron Irixite
92
93	''Your name is Jezron Irixite, and you work for a living, just like everyone should. Those mines aren't going to excavate themselves.''
94
95	undergroundScythe spent most of his time in the mines underneath Alternia, extracting ores with his trusty pickaxes. He was hounded by various game constructs when he finally entered, and he decided to strike out on his own to fix everything. This loner's attitude made things difficult for him when he formed a relationship with Pallida, creating various problems. [[spoiler:He later snapped when Gallia broke Pallida's jaw, attacking Gallia with his server powers.]] When the teams were formed, he went with Juniprei, forming a red relationship with her. [[spoiler:He was later poisoned, dying alone and unrevived.]]
96
97	!!! Tropes:
98	%%* [[spoiler:DyingAlone]]
99	%%* IneffectualLoner
100	%%* [[spoiler:LoveMakesYouEvil]]
101
102
103	!!Juniprei Unimaro
104
105	''Your name is Juniprei Unimaro, and you're going to steal the spotlight! You deserve to be the star... right?''
106
107	sapphireNativity is a bipolar young lady with a bad combination: a distinctive love for film and a sense of self-esteem which is hanging out with the dirt and bugs. She covers up her feelings with her acting skill, switching between emotions based on her whims.
108
109	!!! Tropes:
110	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Jezron's death left her hurting.]]
111	* StepfordSmiler: She has feelings, but she'll often act as if she's perfectly happy when she isn't at all.
112	%%* KillerYoyo
113	* GoshDangItToHeck: She doesn't swear often, but when she does, it's serious. Or she's pretending to be really pissed. But generally the former.
114
115
116	!!Malhaut Obliquus
117
118	''Your name is Malhaut Obliquus, and you'd rather not disclose any more than that. A spy can never be too careful...''
119
120	nefariousNautilus was a young agent of the Alternian military. He stepped up to lead the trolls of the hacked session, despite his dark blood and anemia.
121
122	!!! Tropes:
123	%%* BadassLongcoat
124	%%* TheCaptain
125	%%* TheChainsOfCommanding
126	* CreepyMonotone: Only when he's in a particularly bad mood.
127	* DeathGlare: Same. The slitted pupils don't help either.
128	%%* FakeRussian
129	%%* HitandRunTactics
130	%%* TheLeader
131	* MyGreatestSecondChance: Although it's not consciously done, by leading the trolls he's making up for his former crew's demise.
132	%%* PassiveAggressiveKombat
133	%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
134	%%* SugarAndIcePersonality: A mixture of Type 1 and Type 2.
135	* TeamDad: Leave one of his crew in the dust and abandon them? God, of course not. [[spoiler:Well, not including Jezron to some extent due to past incidents.]]
136	* TranquilFury: Most of the time, true boiling anger only comes out like this for him.
137
138	!!Megdul Impulenin
139
140	''Your name is Megdul Impulenin, and you would have stood a good chance of competing for the Empress's position if not for your defect. Despite being a seadweller... you were born without gills.''
141
142	lightningAuthoritarian has a cool, unruffled air about him, unfazed by all but the harshest surprises. He's also the fastest character by far -- he might not beat a speeding bullet, but he'll beat anyone in a sprint.
143
144	!!! Tropes:
145	%%* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]
146	%%* TheLancer
147
148
149	!!Nibzan Somrar
150
151	''Your name is Nibzan Somrar, and you don't give a single fuck. You don't think it's asking too much to expect trolls to act like trolls.''
152
153	ironicMainstream is perhaps the most hateful of the trolls. He rarely has anything nice to say about anyone -- but he'll gladly espouse everyone's flaws. His insults are perhaps only surpassed by his art, because he's really a very good painter.
154
155	!!! Tropes:
156	* CannotTellALie: Due to his powers
157	* {{Hipster}}: He likes to think he is, at least.
158	%%* SarcasticDevotee
159	* TheNapoleon: Being the shortest guy on the team at 5'5'' hasn't done his attitude any favours.
160	%%* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: His glasses]]
161
162
163	!!Pallida Sanguine
164
165	''Your name is Pallida Sanguine, and you don't care what everyone else says about being 'proper'. You'll give up everything for your experiments - even your reputation.''
166
167	bucketJockey was an outlaw scientist on Alternia, caught by Malhaut's team just before the game began. She and her genetic experiments were both viewed as criminally indecent -- a reputation she may have earned after entering the game. Flirtatious and blunt, she escapes lethal situations through application of her charismatic charm. [[spoiler:Her luck ran out when Valert injected ink into her bloodstream, and she died.]]
168
169	!!! Tropes:
170	%%* KarmaHoudini
171
172
173	!!Signa Veritan
174
175	''Your name is Signa Veritan, and you know the way back home. You know the way everywhere else, too.''
176
177	crimsonCartographer was all alone in the Alternian wilderness, and that suited her just fine. When she entered the game, she had to learn all about how trolls relate to other trolls.
178
179	!!! Tropes:
180	%%* FishOutOfWater
181	%%* MoralityPet: To Gallia.
182
183
184	!!Sototh Alazif
185
186	''Your name is Sototh Alazif and you are kind of weird. You guess that's just what happens when horrific beings from beyond the deep speak to you every sleeping moment.''
187
188	benthicDreamer has a problem: he's a tool of the horrorterrors. He does his best to deal with this the best way he knows how -- judicious application of his shotgun. [[spoiler:In the end, he can't fight their influence... and in the end, he doesn't want to.]]
189
190	!!! Tropes:
191	%%* BadassBookworm: His hive contains an impressive library of eldritch lore.
192	%%* BadassInANiceSuit
193	%%* BadassLongcoat
194	* CastFromLifespan: Exposure to the Song will slowly degrade Sototh's mind and body.
195	* DontCallMeSir: To Gallia, she being a maid and he having a crush on her.
196	* [[spoiler:EyeScream: Disappeared and replaced with tentacles. His dreamself's eyes are implied to have ''popped.'']]
197	* FantasticSlur: Refers to sea-dwellers as FishPeople.
198	* FriendlessBackground: Briefly had a girlfriend, but that's about it.
199	* GlassCannon: Deals out a lot of damage with his souped-up shotgun, but takes a long time to recuperate after battles.
200	* HorrifyingHero: Eye sockets full of tentacles.
201	* ICallItVera: Bessie the shotgun.
202	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: His reaction to Gallia's confession that she doesn't return his feelings.
203	* LockedIntoStrangeness: His little blue curl is bleached white by the influence of the Horrorterrors.
204	* MoreThanMindControl: He doesn't want to do the bidding of the Horrorterrors, so they make him want to.
205	* NightmareFetishist: After his exposure to the Song, he feels differently about his new masters.
206	* NightmareSequence: The Horrorterrors communicate with him in his dreams.
207	%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Aragua and, to a degree, Signa.
208	* SawedOffShotgun: His strife specibus.
209	* ShoutOut: Pretty much every aspect of his character is one to Creator/HPLovecraft.
210	%%* SociallyAwkwardHero
211	%%* [[spoiler:TouchedByVorlons]]
212	* TroubledSympatheticBigot: Once his typical blueblood racism begins to clash with his feelings for Gallia.
213	* YouWontLikeHowITaste: Claims to have heard this from several reliable sources.
214
215
216
217	!! Swinde Truffa
218
219	''Your name is Swinde Truffa, and you can spot a mark from a mile off. Everyone's a sucker for something...''
220
221	absoluteTruth is a con artist with a secret passion for raising FLARP grubs. Cool and aloof, she gets the job done through lies and manipulation.
222
223	!!! Tropes:
224	* BlatantLies: Her trolltag. It's absoluteTruth and she's a ''con artist''
225	%%* ConMan: Though not by choice.
226	* EmotionlessGirl: She needs to be, to successfully hide it when a scam goes awry.
227	* GloveSlap: Her preferred mode of attack. Fits in with her suit.
228	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: She always uses large words. Instead of "help" it's "assist." In her angrier moments she uses smaller and more common words, though.
229	* ThirstyDesert: Her world. The only clean water is fast being polluted, and the only majorly habitable area had major problems.
230
231
232	!! Valert Pengler
233
234	''Your name is Valert Pengler, and you think that everything can be unique. Creativity isn't dead on Alternia, and you'll prove it!''
235
236	wayvardArter is the other artist of the hacked session -- but unlike Nibzan, Valert is a horrible troll. He strives to be nice, and he tries to make everything artistic and unique, because he can't stand the bland conformity of Alternia. [[spoiler:He experienced a momentary snap, and killed Pallida.]]
237
238	!!! Tropes:
239	%%* CloudCuckoolander
240
241
242	!Ancestors
243
244	!!Sandro Somrar
245
246	''Your name is Sandro Somrar and you're fairly convinced your life sucks. You may be right.''
247
248	portraitistSandro is the ancestor of Nibzan and if he'd known how privileged his descendent was going to be he'd probably have killed himself out of spite. He lived a fairly hard life even by Alternian standards and died alone and unknown in his studio aged 17 sweeps.
249
250	!!!Tropes:
251	%%* DyingAlone
252	%%* StarvingArtist
253	%%* TheRunaway: Type three, when he was younger.
254
255	!!Dianth Syndactyl
256
257	''As an advisor to the Empress herself, Dianth's job is very stressful, and not at all helped by the horrible nightmares he's had since he began living and working there. He's had enough and is willing to do'' anything ''to make them stop.'' He is Aragua's ancestor and differs from her in almost every single way, including gender.
258
259	!!!Tropes:
260	%%* EvilChancellor: A rare example where his ill will is not directed toward the one he advises.
261
262	!Hackers
263
264	!!Joe Thomas
265
266	''Your name is Joe Thomas. You're not a hacker, you're a MODDER. You really wish people would get that..''
267
268	rotatingMaraschino is the newest addition to the hackers. He's pretty dim, and he has yet to realize that he's not in a standard video game. Only time will tell what comes of this.
269
270	!!!Tropes:
271	%%* BadLiar
272	%%* BunnyEarsLawyer
273	* CharacterBlog: [[http://sburbmod.tumblr.com/ His mod blog]]
274	* CultureBlind: To all of the trolls, thinking they're just roleplayers
275	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Joe has his own friends in his own session that he works with frequently that hasn't quite impacted the main trolls
276	%%* HumansAreMorons
277	* NaiveNewcomer: Doesn't yet seem to grasp the fact that he's not in a virtual reality simulator
278	%%* PlayfulHacker: Just thinks he's modding the game
279	* RedOniBlueOni: Him with [[JerkAss Garth]], his calmer and more unenthusiastic friend who taught him most of what he knows about computers
280	* ShoutOut: Joe, Thomas, and Emily, his sister's name, are derived from [[Music/TheProtomen another popular work]]
281	%%* TheFool
282	* TheGambler: Doesn't think of himself this way, but follows a slot machine motif
283	* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: As shown on his Twitter page, his password to most of his items is "cherry"
284	* TooDumbToFool: Gallia's push for him to kill himself just kinda bounce off him
285	* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Implied method of hacking the game
286
287	!! Helen "Lizarré" Kueper
288
289	''Your name is... well you've never told anyone, and prefer people call you Lizzaré and nothing else. No Liz, no nothing. No matter what, you're just simply one of the worst coders ever in existence ever.''
290
291	egotisticalFrustration is the quite sarcastic and lazy hacker of this session. Honestly, she has a few anger issues as well.
292
293	!!!Tropes:
294	* ClusterFBomb: Everyday. All the time.
295	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: At least that's what she wants you to know her by.
296	%%* LethalJokeItem: Her headphones.
297	%%* FriendlessBackground
298	%%* LonelyRichKid
299	%%* StepfordSnarker
300	* PercussiveMaintenance: Is often used on her computer.
301
302	!! Ataxia Cardis
303	> Be the robot bitch.
304	Your name is ATAXIA CARDIS, but you're actually UNSURE.
305
306	!!!Tropes:
307
308	* BlessedWithSuck: Type 3. The smallest malfunction will cause her to shutdown, requiring her to completely rescan and reinstall most of her software (which takes a looooong time) , causing her to forget a lot of things.
309	* BerserkButton: Mispell her name several times and you're in for a world of hurt. And make sure Lizzaré doesn't ask her to troll you.
310	* MusclesAreMeaningless: Ataxia is very strong but doesn't have any muscles whatsoever.
311	* MysteriousPast: No one know who she was before or who built her.
312	%%* NoSenseOfHumor
313	%%* NoSympathy
314	%%* SwissArmyAppendage: Her fingers.
315	* TookALevelInJerkass: Lizzare asked her to troll someone so she went to KickTheDog. Hard.
316	%%* WhoWantsToLiveForever: She is VERY bored.
317	* WorkingClassPeopleAreMorons: She finds lowbloods stupid even though she is one.
318
319	!!Nyarlathotep

321
322	!!!Tropes
323	* AffablyEvil: Nice enough to offer malnourished Aragua a ham sandwich.
324	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Hasn't actually done anything particularly horrible. Except [[spoiler:turning Sototh grimdark]], of course, but that was for a good reason.
325	* BeardOfEvil: An Egyptian Pharaoh's false beard, but it still counts.
326	%%* BlackEyesOfCrazy
327	%%* CanonImmigrant
328	%%* CharmPerson
329	%%* TheChessmaster: And the team are his pawns.
330	* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Surprisingly friendly and polite for a sanity-shattering abomination from beyond space and time.
331	%%* [[GodInHumanForm God In Troll Form]]
332	%%* HiddenAgendaVillain
333	%%* HypnoticEyes
334	* InsufferableGenius: Yes, he was around when your species was crawling out of the primordial ooze, and no, he will not hesitate to rub it in your face.
335	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
336	%%* ManipulativeBastard
337	%%* SmugSuper: Ties in with InsufferableGenius.
338	%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes
339	* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: Spends most of his time observing the actions of the main twelve.
