Here's Tavros!

Skaa have no last name on Scadrialternia, except for ferrings who can also be referred to as "Terrisborn"

He is part of the Skaa Ferring Caste, the second lowest Caste and a member of the Skaa Class. Ferrings and Mistings are below noninvested people within their respective Classes for a few reasons. First, because especially in the lower Classes, they are seen as an adulteration of higher-Class blood (in the form of inherited Allomancy and Feruchemy). In the higher-classes, its because the Condese fears that any sufficiently-powered individual might try to rise up and upset the order of things. As such, she has engineered the social order to ensure that there are those above them to keep them in check.

The chat client they use is called Palpuller. His Pullhandle is asphixiatedTerrisborn. This is because he is of Terris descent and he can store Breath--temporarily asphyxiating in the process. He latches onto Terris iconography and culture to try and distance himself from the fact that he is a Skaa.

His typing quirk is switching uppercase and lowercase letters, avoiding apostrophes, and using plenty of commas. Additionally, he marks the points where he would inhale in his speech with apostrophes as breath marks.

As a Gasper, there doesn't seem to be a lot of applications for his abilities, but because how easy it is for him to store breath and tap breath, he essentially always has access to some amount of breath. This helps when Vriska tries to choke him out every now and again, but also in situations where he needs to swim for extended periods of time. He feels some amount of pride in his Terris heritage, but Vriska always antagonizes him, reminding him that he is still Skaa. She has a lot of beef with him, actually.

At some point, Vriska shoves him off a cliff, breaking his legs completely. Equius sets him up with one of his more worked-on Hemalurgic spikes; a Gold spike imbued with the power of Gold Feruchemy that doubled as a full Goldmind (it was a Goldmind previously, but was taken and used as a spike on it's Bloodmaker, allowing the recipient of the spike to still access it). Tapping all of the Health inside it allowed his legs to heal, and now Tavros can use the spike itself as a Goldmind for health. This is a significantly more useful ability than storing breath, so Vriska isn't able to give him too much flak for it. Also because that spike was used on Tavros, Equius didnt have much on hand in terms of healing which contributed to him using the wrong spike on her when she was injured.

His Goldmind is his hemalurgy spike between his ribs and his Cadmiumminds are anklets that are obscured by the large cuffs of his pants so they are not easily stolen.

Also I kept his teeth like that. I don't have a good lore reason why they'd be like that. His teeth are just wack.

Some silly quotes:

AT: '' aLL THESE TIMELINES ARE RIDICULOUS,' tAVROS VS THIS,' tAVROS GETS KILLED BY THAT,' AT: hOW ABOUT TAVROS HAS A NICE DAY?' tAVROS IS VALIDATED BY HIS PEERS,' sOMEONE LOVES TAVROS BECAUSE OF HIS FLAWS NOT IN SPITE OF THEM, sOMETHING NICE HAPPENS TO TAVROS, aND IT IS NOT IMMEDIATELY RIPPED AWAY FROM HIM BY A COLD AND UNFEELING UNIVERSE, AT: '' tAVROS GETS A MATESPRIT AND MAYBE NOT AWFUL DEBILITATING WOUNDS CT: D--> I command you to quit breathing. CT: D--> I need to put impale you with my spike. AT: uHH, MAYBE TAKE ME TO DINNER FIRST-- AT: hRK--!

(little did she know she would get hemalurgy to make herself more important)

Homestuck Beta Trolls X Mistborn AU

Spoilers for Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series. This is what powers I think the beta trolls would have if they were born on Scadrial

Aradia Megido - Gold or Electrum Misting

Allomancy: ‘Augur’ (Gold: see own Past), ‘Oracle’ (Electrum: see own Future)

Hemalurgy: Cadmium (Placement Unknown: Gold or Electrum Allomancy

It is unknown what her original misting ability was, but the spike from Equius gave her the other one

Tavros Nitram - Cadmium Ferring

Feruchemy: Gasper (Cadmium: Breath), “Bloodmaker” (Gold: Health)

Hemalurgy: Gold (Between Ribs: Gold Feruchemy)

Cadmium compounder; Vriska makes fun of him for having a ‘useless ability’, but doesn’t see the potential that storing breath has. Equius provides him with healing powers to fix his legs through hemalurgy.

Sollux Captor - Born powerless

Allomancy: “Coinshot” (Steel: Push metal) “Lurcher” (Iron: Pull metal)

Hemalurgy: Steel X2 (Left and Right Orbit: Iron and Steel Allomancy)

These spikes were not given by Equius, but instead were applied in a “freak acciident” involving a “jaiilbroken beehiive”.

Karkat Vantas - Copper/Duralumin Twinborn (mutant)

Allomancy: Smoker (Copper: Hide Allomancy)

Feruchemy: Connector (Duralumin: Connection)

I’m not exactly sure why being a natural twin-born is bad in Scadrialternian society, but it is and Karkat’s gotta hide it. Also the castes follow a natural Misting-Ferring-Powerless-Misting-Ferring-Powerless pattern, and Karkat’s caste breaks that so it was completely eradicated through eugenics so im pretty sure he’s the only one.

Nepeta Leijon - Steel Ferring

Feruchemy: Steelrunner (Steel: Physical Speed)

Nothing special, just run-of-the-steel-mill feruchemy.

Kanaya Maryam - Chromium Misting

Allomancy: Leecher (Chromium: wipe allomantic reserves of target)

Her caste is supposed to be powerless, like Equius', but much like how she's a rainbow drinker in canon, she is somehow a misting in this AU. Snapped after Eridan shot her half to death with his “poison wwand strike” (toxic chromium bullets). He did not know that these bullets were Allomantically viable, and neither knew that she would be able to burn chromium. She uses this to sap Gamzee of his massive Zinc reserves, causing him to be distracted long enough for her to kill Eridan.

Terezi Pyrope - Tin misting - Tin Savant

Allomancy: Scout (Tin: Increases senses)

Terezi and Gamzee are the only Savants on the team, which forms the basis of their bond and later kismesitude on whatever this au’s equivalent of the meteor is. She snapped during a feud with Vriska, which left her blind, but she has been flaring tin for so many sweeps that she can basically assemble visual data through her other senses.

Vriska Serket - Cadmium Ferring

Feruchemy: Spinner (Cadmium: Fortune)

Hemalurgy: Left Eye (Cadmium: Destiny)

Forced Equius to use Hemalurgy on her to heal her during a feud with Terezi, but she was tapping Fortune so hard that Equius managed to select the wrong spike and gave her Destiny instead of some healing ability, which is apparently good luck according to the spiritual realm? It’s destiny to be relevant forever I guess so she can’t really die until the plot demands it. She also has Kelsier’s weird metal vision allowing her to peep into the spiritual realm just a little bit. She ended up having her arm fully amputated due to her spirit not being able to accept another spike. Equius in this au isn’t exactly a roboticist, so she won’t get a replacement arm until wayy later down the line.

Equius Zahhak - born powerless

Allomancy: Thug (Pewter: Strength)

Hemalurgy: Between ribs (Steel: Allomantic pewter)

Equius is a Hemalurgist, who was born without allomancy or feruchemy (much like the rest of his caste). He gave himself pewter to make future hemalurgy easier for him (pushing spikes into/through people is physically intensive). He has also given powers to Aradia, Tavros, and Vriska so far.

Gamzee Makara - Zinc Rioter - Zinc Savant

Allomancy: Rioter (Zinc: Riot)

As a Zinc savant, he is so used to being able to fuck with people’s emotions on a whim that he has no idea how to handle empathy without it. He has a very carefree attitude because if someone is saying/doing something he doesn’t like, he can just Allomantic them away. This also means that everyone around him naturally swell with anger and frustration, which leads to the events of the meteor. Rioters and soothers can also gain control of hemalurgic constructs, so I imagine he could take over any hemalurgy users in the party at a whim.

Eridan Ampora - Electrum “Ferring” (Full Feruchemist)

Feruchemy: Pinnacle (Electrum: Determination)

Eridan, like others in his caste, is a full feruchemist, but unlike his other caste members, he only believes that he has one ability.

Feferi Peixes - Mistborn

Allomancy: Mistborn

Feferi, like all others in her caste, is a Mistborn. The Condese is too, actually.

EDIT: Various bits of phrasing and removed the mature label (I have no idea why I wasn't able to before)
