hello again. rip 

I REALLY like this dude. hes one of my faves?

WARNING: talks about a Lot of death and experimentation. Hope thats okay!

I love characters themed around death and experimentation, so Yes we’re all good.

Name: AUSCUL ASNERI

Name comes from Auscultation, or the sound of listening to certain organs. Asneri is a mush up of the word Arsenic. 

Now this to me immediately reminds me of like… those “doctors” in the old days who would offer medical assistance to people, bring them in, and then slowly poison them to death with arsenic for kicks. Which happened WAY more often than you think it would. I can think of like, 4 nurse/doctor arsenic poisoners off the top of my head. 

Handle: iterativeChemist [IC]

WEAPON: Stethoscope, which he uses to press against walls and listen for when his enemies come closer. 

Oo, I do like this, but I have to wonder how often it could be used for an actual weapon? Maybe you could have him use a poisonkind specibus too, just for some on the downlow murdering?

INVENTORY: OPERATION! there is a model of a troll body, and he has to uses tweezers to pull the inventory card that he desires out. If he fails, it buzzes and he has to start over. 

That’s Ominous.

QUIRK:

uses ≡ after all Os and Hs, representing how acids ususally contain oxygen and hydrogen. Makes a lot of chemistry puns. Also mentions acids a lot, even going so far as so copy/paste their formulas when talking about them. ALSO talks about anatomy a lot.

example:

O≡, yo≡’re really burning up to≡igh≡! I’m excited to see ho≡ th≡s go≡s! Yo≡r to≡uch stubs seem to≡ be swo≡en! Did yo≡ kno≡ th≡t a co≡mo≡ sympto≡ o≡ th≡ co≡mo≡ co≡d is th≡t yo≡r fingers swell? No≡ to≡ wo≡ry, th≡ugh≡! I can examine yo≡ fo≡ no≡ co≡t!

I do like this, but it’s a little hard to read. I think maybe if you didn’t replace the letters, but instead just have the ≡ come after the o/h and leave it at that? ex: “Yo≡ur to≡uch≡ stubs seem to≡ be swo≡llen.”

LUSUS: A venus flytrap with long, disgusting tentacle-roots that pulls trolls into it’s maw. Auscul originally brought trolls just to satiate it, but eventually decided that he wanted to try and experiment on them as well. They were going to die anyways, right?

Ooo, I love that. We’ve not really gotten many plant creature lusii, but I approve of them. Maybe you could do something with the arsenic theme, too? Like have the plant excrete fly-water, which is an arsenic-heavy sweet solution used to attract and then poison flies? It could be part of what Auscul uses! 

INTERESTS:

CHEMISTRY SCIENCE (ANY AND ALL) JOURNALIST RESEARCH DESTRUCTION (for ‘research’) DISMANTLING THINGS (for ‘research’) REVERSE ENGINEERING disguises psychology

With the medical theme and stuff, you’ve definitely got to have some doctoring in here. Some… interesting doctoring. Maybe he could also like poking around in cadavers, but they’re just so Hard to obtain ethically… 

personality:

Friendly and optimistic, Auscul is the definition of deceit. He is the friendliest, most open person in the room all the time. He will interact with everyone and talk to people who feel down. He may not always have the best solutions, but he always tries and willalways act as someone to lean on. People who know him will describe him as a charasmatic goof, a bit too obsessed with his sciences.

He hardly really gets close to anyone, as he never really cares to make deep connections. Someone would have to be extremely stand-out to really capture his interest for that long of a time, in order for them to get to know him. He seems to have a cage around his true self, as if he has intentionally isolated himself from the rest of the world. He only gets close to those he sees fit, to those who can offer him something, or those he is obligated to. He is, however, constantly putting up a front. Even is he never connects with anyone, he will act overly friendly anyways. He is acutely aware of every move he makes, always projecting him in a way to make himself seem nonthreatening. He lures people in, makes them do anything he wishes or does anything he wishes. He is a manipulator and never regrets his actions. He is doing it all for science, of course!

He is way into experimentation. Like, he enjoys testing things out on other trolls and aliens just to see the resuts. He will dismiss any judgement of his personality or motives easily, not actually caring about what anyone thinks. He is chaotic neutral more than anything. He stays on the side that he finds the most interesting.

He is also partially blind. He was born almost completely blind, making him a target from an early age. He took out his own eyes when he was capable and invented his glasses, which gives him the ability to see his environment. It’s all green-tinted, though, so he never knows anyone’s blood color or anything.

also hes trans, just to mention that i guess 

Okay I love all of this, and I love the whole him pretending to be nice and putting up a front thing, so I dooo want to push it a little more. Maybe he could be someone who offers to help the ill, like in those Arsenic Poisoning stories. He’s the good doctor, goofy and friendly, and he lures people in under the promise of taking care of them, because of course he’d take such GOOD care of them, he’s so charismatic and nice. And then he just selectively takes some of them to experiment on, poison to death, and then feed to his lusus. You didn’t tell me what his blood color is, but I’m assuming Jade, so I think that’s an interesting take on/distortion of the stereotypical jadeblood caretaker role, too!

dream planet: PROSPIT

Title: MAGE OF RAGE. Because of this, he is Very Hard to kill. Like, you can stab him a bunch and he’ll just keep coming back. He’s brutal. 

He also does actively understand the ways in which he can break down and destroy… And he does passively change people’s options…….. by killing them. 

Design: 

Face: I made the bridge of the glasses a bit thicker just to try to balance the large size of the brims. I also added black lips. Male jadebloods have the pronounced black lips, too, from what we’ve seen in canon so far. 

Outfit: It was just Jake English’s outfit, so I decided to give it a bit of additional flair. I took inspiration from old victorian doctor outfits and gave him coattails and a cravat, as well as beefing up the bow a little more. I took the cleats off the shoes, since he has no reason to need cleated shoes. I added some buttons and details to his shorts. As for the symbol, I added a little bit of the pretzel influence from Viricorn!

you guys are super good at what you do, thanks for all the help so far! 

Thank you for sharing all your lovely trolls! We’re glad to help! ^_^
