Milliways Dossier: K4k4 V4tns

[herr_bookman]

History

• Seven solar sweeps – fourteen to fifteen human years
• Short, stocky, nocturnal, gray skin, nubby yellow horns - sensitive to touch?
• Sign based on genetic lineage: cancer, based on his shirt, speaker crab, Karkinos (?)
• War-driven troll society destroyed by psychic squid explosion; 12 survived, but, "so much happens, all the time”
• Hatch as grubs -> wrigglers -> educational cocoon -> hive with lusus
• Caste system based on blood colors: Burgundy Umber Ochre Yellowgreen Olive Jade Aquamarine Cerulean Indigo Purple Violet Tyrian Purple
• Troll romance provided structure - each troll requires five others to feel fulfilled
• --Mating fondness: <3 Concupiscient pity “flushed red” – admire and are drawn to
• --Moirallegiance: <> Concilitary pity “pale” – murderous lunatic and careless bleeding-heart
• --Kismesis: <3< Concupiscient hatred “black/sable” – loathe one another even as they share an attraction
• --Auspistice: c3< Concilitary hatred “ashen” – one troll steps between two others who really shouldn’t have a kismesis relationship for some reason
• --Friends/enemies: “give a shit about someone”
• --Proscribed counter-moves for “are you flirting?”

Impressions

• Threat Level – MODERATE – Knight of Blood. Could kill me, probably won’t; has potential to make life really annoying
• By far the most unintentionally hilarious person at Milliways
• “Romance professional” – troll, leprechaun, and human (mindless fluff); enjoys movies
• Technical genius – brought sylladex and T-Minus to the bar – return gift?
• “I don’t blush” – oh, there is enough denial here to choke a horse
• Tends to “clarify” his speeches frequently -- these are often chock-full of his real intentions
• “immutable fact we can all behold in the record”
• Personal space is clearly important
• Lifts his black lip over his fangs on his right side when he’s just about ready to punch someone
• Has a serious issue with my tongue for some reason
• “You are so frequently simultaneously bewildering and awful”
• Can’t breathe when he stops talking – hahaha! this has to be some sort of joke
• “relentlessly self-regarding homunculus, an animate pile of miscellaneous discharges from a herd of diseased smugbeasts” & “bookshrew” – pretty much the most accurate summaries I’ve ever heard
• Once went 612 nights without sleep – that can’t be healthy
• Hopeless dreamer

Weaknesses

• Matespirit: Nepeta - except not; she can clearly take care of herself
• Bored as hell
• Isolates himself?
• Holds grudges?
• Seems to care about others pretty intensely
• Easily-raised hopes, just as easily dashed
• Incredibly lonely

Scabs

• How did he become the Knight of Blood? What does that even mean?
• Does he have powers and/or responsibilities that go along with that, or did they cease after death?
• How did he die? Does he still age?
• Aside from the obvious, why is he so tired?
• What was he doing in another universe with eleven others when he was so young?
