Cirava Hermod

They are a DJ who mainly works at raves, but also gets hired in parties. They stream their own songs on Grubtube and Slaughterify, and they also got their own podcast channel. They also stream themself reacting to videos, too.

Kuprum Maxlol

An insane boy with an absurd amount of physical strength, despite his seemingly looking skinny body. He's still a gorechanner, and his main hobby is violently trolling lowbloods with his moirail. He's extremely dangerous, he's able to smash a brick without much effort, yet he genuinely cares a lot for his palemate. He aspires to become a threshecutioner someday and is obsessed with the fuchsiablood Daraya.

Folykl Darane

Contrary to every other indigoblood out there, she is extremely weak, due to a rare disease called Muscle Leech, in which the troll has all of their muscle mass and strength drained away from them, leaving them weak and defenseless. Her incapability to defend herself almost lead to her death, if it wasn't for her moirail Kuprum and her mediculler Marsti, whom she often has check ups with so she can properly treat her condition. Being a highblood, trolls tend to worry about her and this disease a lot more.

Azdaja Knelax

An engineer with a passion for building and inventing things. If his canon counterpart is supposed to be a parody of Vegeta, then his indigo version is a lot more like Bulma. He often gets fancy gifts from his seadweller quadrantmate.

Zebede Tongva

He has a stable and is the owner of a hoofbeast riding school. He likes all of his horses and takes care of them all with much love. He's big into troll kpop and wishes to someday be able to go to his favorite group's concert.

As Fast as you Can by BlueMoonHound

Cosmetic mutations. In a highblood, it's hardly a concern to the empire. Especially one so close to the color of the Condesce herself. In the past, however, that hasn't stopped her from culling them. They do carry on genetically into descendants, and mess with Her plans. To have that in the slurry? It could end up in lowbloods, who would be culled on sight, midbloods, who would be shunned, or – gog forbid – the Tyrian line itself. You're only important because you're an orphaner and no one else can hold that job. no archive warnings, T

What do you Want? by Rubaiyate

A fill for a request on homesmut: [paraphrased] "The imperial drones come for Karkat, his blood color having been exposed to the empire somehow. Of all the trolls to come to his rescue, it’s Eridan. Eridan goes toe-to-toe with a drone to make them back off, but Karkat doesn’t know this and, having never met Eridan face-to-face, is confronted with the terrifying view of a pissed off seadweller bursting into his hive and forcefully escorting him to his own hive. Thing is, Karkat has absolutely no idea who he is, why he has been taken to somebody else’s hive, and Eridan doesn’t realize that Karkat is freaking the fuck out."

Pale As the Creatures of the Deep by TrashfireRadiowaves

He's a highblood, and highbloods are prone to highblood rages. You can see it in the way his hands tremble, long fingers clenching in fury when he gets cornered, taunted by one troll or another; you can see him take his anger and lock it away, watch him drop into a state of false calm, and you worry more with every day that passes. You aren't sure how long he can keep himself under control, and you don't think any of you will come back to life if you die again. You don't want anyone to die, and you don't want him to be forced into a position that causes him to hurt someone. You don't want anyone to die, but everyone on this fucking asteroid seems hell bent on making it happen. no archive warnings, T

[davekat-sucks]

for me the most telling thing about eridan caring about his land buddies is that he's using the lowblood term for his seadweller heart, which is to use a whole bunch of unnecessary words where highbloods would use the human term. he wouldn't slip into lowblood lingo as much as he does (it's not much, but it's the fact that he even does it at all) if he didn't secretly chitchat with them a lot.

Some could say it is Eridan talking down to the lowbloods by speaking on their level, but Karkat shows that hearing highblood terms (though it is correct and simplified) is annoying. It's interesting that he tries to respect their preferred vocab term.

[greenethorn]

Despite how humanoid they may appear on the surface, Troll biology differs vastly from our own. I figured this next series of drawings, aside from showing my beta troll designs, can also serve as a multiple-entry explanation of some of my biology headcanons. I hope you fellows enjoy!

Starting from the top, we have Feferi, a seadwelling heiress here to help explain the body plan of the average troll.

Trolls have exoskeletons, consisting of three layers of chitin. The innermost layer is transparent and thick, yet pliable, allowing for movement. This layer is what a grub’s body is largely made of before they develop into adolescent trolls. It can largely be compared to silicone in texture.

The next is a slightly less thick, but much harder and less malleable, layer. It is orange in color and aside from providing a “solid infrastructure” for the troll, it also serves as protection, certain areas of the middle layer protruding from the troll’s skin, such as their horns, claws/hooves, teeth, and (in many individuals) protective plating on the chest. This layer is unique in which it develops color based on temperature– the warmer parts that just barely protrude from the body are a deep scarlet-orange, but as the chitin moves away from the body and as a result becomes cooler, it becomes a marigolden hue. This can be likened to the development of a flamepoint cat’s coloration, in which cooler extremities are often darker than the warmer areas of the body. 

The final layer is grey, thin, and flexible, and could be likened to a layer of skin. The segments smoothly overlap to a point where the joining ‘seams’ are barely noticeable. It is smooth and when one’s finger is run across it, it would have a similar texture to the belly of a snake. 

Trolls also have thick black hair on their heads, developed to protect them from the sun’s heat (though this no doubt evolved before its temperature became so harsh). These hairs originally developed as sensory whiskers to aid in grubs’ tendency to meander blindly in the brooding cavern, and so even as adults the hair close to the scalp is quite sensitive and protected by the troll. Higher-bloods may wear elaborate hairstyles to prove their resilience, while lower-bloods may be shaved or plucked as a form of torture. When hair is removed it cannot grow back. 

Every troll has frilly external gills on the sides of their head, not just seadwellers. However, any troll purple and below is intentionally bred to have nonfunctioning, vestigial gills, existing only as a decorative feature. When stylized, it looks like ears.

A troll continues to grow for its entire lifespan, which is why so many adult trolls reach such immense sizes and their horns grow to such impressive lengths. It is a common misconception that highbloods naturally grow taller than lowbloods. Rather, lowbloods just die so much sooner that they usually don’t get much higher than seven or eight feet. 

On the inside, trolls can be quite easily compared to insects. They have a three-part digestive tract comprised of a crop, which holds food before digestion, a mid-gut, which largely serves the role of the stomach, and a hind-gut which serves the role of the intestine. They also have a series of nerve cells running down each side of their body, called ganglia, and a ‘major’ ganglion in the head which effectively serves as a brain. The diagram shown can be labelled as follows:

Horn

Inner core of horn; provides support for the structure. aside from the core, the horn is hollow.

Outermost layer of chitin. Grey and pliable.

Second layer of chitin. Orange, thick, and sturdy

Third layer of chitin. Spongy and transparent.

External gill-frills

Arm structure showing how the outer layer of chitin meets up on the arm. The seams are actually barely visible (aka i don't wanna draw them) but this is for reference.

Crop

Mid-gut

Hind-gut

Anal chute

Thoracic ganglia

Chestplate, part of the second layer of chitin that protrudes to protect the chest. Only found on "female" trolls

Grub scar

Sub- and supra-esophageal ganglion

Not shown in the diagram, but present in trolls, is a respiratory and circulatory system similar to that of most vertebrates; while trolls are insectoid in nature, for blood to be so important in their culture they’d likely have a significant circulatory system, unlike the simple dorsal tube of an insect. Besides, I like giving them catlike noses. 

Thank you for reading this! I will soon return with Eridan to explain the differences between seadwelling and landdwelling trolls ^_^

[dingodad]

Do you think there was "caste specific neighborhoods" in alternia/beforus? idk I just feel like the kind of thing they would do (maybe not state mandated on beforus case), I'm already pretty sure no lowblood would settle near the coast not only bc of hostile highbloods/seadwellers but also the eldritch monster at the bottom of the ocean that can kill them with one psychic tantrum

neighbourhoods on alternia don't seem to be strictly divided up by caste so much as they're divided up by purpose, like you would expect them to be on earth. there are dense suburbs and high rise stem colonies with the purpose of housing the large populations of the lower castes, and then wider expanses of land where highbloods can set up their mcmansions a la vriska and equius. proximity to the sea, where antagonistic sea dwellers make their home, certainly plays a role in this.

iirc friendsim talked a lot about highblood zones or blue blood districts or what have you but i never really saw this as a realistic depiction of what an alternian metropolis would be like. this makes sense for a game where every caste is represented just about equally, but you gotta remember not only that the castes are actually staggered in population size but also that troll kids just choose wherever the fuck they want to set up their houses when they're still practically babies. so while it makes sense that neighbourhoods dominated by a particular class or culture would exist, i don't see it as being practical for the inner cities to be stratified in such a strict way, and i don't think any authority really exists on kid-alternia to enforce it. to my mind an alternian city's population is basically going to reflect the population of trolls at large: for every few hundred lowbloods, a few greenbloods; for every few hundred greenbloods, a couple bluebloods; and so on. but that's just me

[trenchgardens-ooc-ooc-ooc-ooc]

the beforan propaganda around limebloods is *intense*

from depictions as uniquely vulnerable, to social elves, to incompetent, to inherently more mutagenic, its fucked up.

theres a culture of considering them to on a certain level not be trolls, certainly not seadwellers, theyre excluded from conversations about lowbloods because theyre excluded from populations of lowbloods, being universally culled. theyre excluded from conversations about seadwellers because theyre excluded from all the favoritism of seadwellers, they lack even the culled-beforan-fuchsia's consolation prize of long life and significant highblood legal favoritism that means even as the (almost) universally culled, they still have future prospects.

limebloods are sometimes depicted as a creature in the beforan fantasy genre. In fantasy theyre generally considered some kind of secret powerfully magic individual more in tune with the deep sea, theyre also often portrayed as master manipulators when it comes to social interraction, the limebloods who aren't depicted as cripplingly naïve are depicted as dangerously competent, yet even those dangerously competent depictions are undercut by some inherent misconception. you could count on a fingerless hand the number of limeblood characters who are both depicted as competent, and are not undercut by being Wrong about something critical.

Limebloods are also propagandized as uniquely mutagenic. theyre treated as if they are more genetically unstable and thus inferior, needing both a lot of help and to be excluded from matters that 'they shouldnt be forced to worry about, its hard enough just being a limeblood'

at every turn theyre dismissed and infantilized, where they arent done that, theyre mysticized as fantasy, where they arent done that, theyre portrayed as ontologically frail and diseased.

And the Lime Mothergrub Program is a way the Beforan establishment is trying to make that zeitgeist real.

Its why a certain character im making is called a limeblood with a hue mutation and not what she really is.

Locations Masterpost

a brief list of all the locations on Alternia relevant to my trolls and who inhabits them. any lore documents i have written up for the larger locations will also be linked below

this post will be updated periodically whenever new locations are made, or trolls are added / removed from them

feel free to reference these locations in your own worldbuilding, however please ask me first if you would like your trolls to also live in these locations (especially any of the towns and cities listed below). my rp settings are semi-open unless otherwise stated

note: im only including my own locations, not rp settings that belong to my friends that my trolls may also visit or be involved with. also, any one-off locations referenced in D2S have not been listed unless they end up becoming more fleshed out

Almadusk Woods - A dark forested area that is believed to be haunted, thanks to all the plantlife having a penchant for growing to resemble the screaming souls of the damned. Home to Nightfall Manor, an old gothic mansion which once belonged to infamous serial killer The Countess Antumbra. ↳ Known residents: Glasya Elliss, The Countess Antumbra (former)

Arctic North - A polar region up in the northernmost point of Alternia. It snows sweep-round, with large swathes of area being covered in ice sheets and permafrost. Further inland is more forested, and pockets of villages are spread out amongst the region. Larger villages are responsible for delivering goods to the smaller, more remote villages, although frequent blizzards can affect the supply chain. ↳ Known residents: Davitt Cesare (former), Leutia Izotze, Sigrun Apteno

Arctic North, Northern Lights Village - A small community within Alternia's Arctic North region. Only a few log cabins have been built here due to its isolated location, however the residents who live here are all very close. The next closest village is an approximate half hour journey via snowmobile. ↳ Known residents: Redeti Miraze, Fannar Bajorn

Ashwood Bushland - A large eucalyptus forest. The climate is quite arid and sees little to no rainfall in the warmer seasons, making the possibility of bushfires a serious risk. Few trolls live within this forest for that reason, however it is home to many unusual species of flora and fauna native to its highly unique ecosystem. ↳ Known residents: Kalpan Sewick

Bayside Keyes - An exclusively-seadwelling neighbourhood along the coastline. Mega mansions line the streets of this small gated community, each with their own section of private beach. While quieter and less territorial than other seadweller communities, its residents are hostile towards their own neighbours and keep to themselves. The climate may be warm, but the attitudes are ice cold. ↳ Known residents: Nemone Moryan (former), Veruco Miopah (former), Linnae Ishimi (former)

Block 136 - One of Alternia's major cities. A cultural melting pot of which trolls of all castes call their home, however social segregation is still rampant thanks to unofficial caste-based residential districts. Frequent gang activity is kept in check by the Legislacerators' powerful security system known colloquially as The Eyes of God. Loosely based on Melbourne, Australia. ↳ Lore document: Here (Note: this doc is extremely outdated, and I don't know when I'll get around to rewriting it) ↳ Known residents: Liiore Dariya, Raesul Mercur, Maagni Halvor, Leithe Arbied, Torada Gerrat (former), Fisher Cavius, Ashell Bathre, Renais Sulawe (former), Davitt Cesare, Velour, Fannar Bajorn (former), Mikiel Giacho, Nerrev Colume (presumed), Aiolos Hummel, Perria Vanche, Shirei Amynta & the OVERSEER gang, The Overseer (former), Lanthi Berrit, Arenai Karasu (former), Sobeit Quirem (former), Linnae Ishimi

Block 136, Lowblood District - An area in Block 136's south and southeastern sides of the city where many lowbloods have decided to build their hives. Both hivestem apartments and smaller townhouse-style hives have been constructed in this area, although they are of notably lower quality that the hivestem blocks closer to the city's centre. High crime rate. ↳ Known residents: Katrin Rissah, Nancor Pharom, Dismas Teufel, Aislin Cudovi, Quidel Benrii, Aegiel Lachan, Soroll Delfim, Daimon Sverre

The Deepwoods - A lush forest with thick canopies of thousand-sweep old trees. A light fog covers the majority of the forest, which seems to grow thicker until it becomes too difficult to breathe in within certain areas of the region. Hikers have reported experiencing hallucinations due to severe oxygen deprivation, as well as sightings of a mysterious monster known as The Deepwoods Demon. ↳ Known residents: Skathi Reckam (former), Kisert Azeban, Errett Sachin

Evergreen Woods - A forested area of reasonable size. The platonic ideal of a forest, with large evergreen trees and a temperate climate, and absolutely no notable features. Some trolls who live in this region have opted to construct their hives amongst the treetops. ↳ Known residents: Eichio Maccau, Callan Ranpoe, Amarys Viridi (former)

Grünesmeer Rainforest - A swamp-like rainforest with a slightly humid climate. Oils secreted from the trees give the bodies of water within the forest a distinct bright green hue, which is how the region got its name. Few trolls live in this area, and there's been multiple incidents of unexplained disappearances and drownings. ↳ Known residents: Vivyin Kafkah

Northwestern Highlands - A mountainous region in Alternia's northwest, characterised by its long green rolling plains and cliffs that end abruptly at the coastline. The number of hives in the area are sparse, but those who make the highlands their home witness spectacular views of both the ocean and the countryside. Based on both the Scottish and Irish Highlands. ↳ Known residents: Charon Acerbi, Somerl Alfero

Northwestern Midlands - A region in Alternia's northwest, less mountainous than the highlands and characterised by its many lakes and moorlands. The midlands is home to many castle ruins, and tends to be a popular location for hikers, history enthusiasts, and fans of romantic literature alike. Based on the Lakes District in England. ↳ Known residents: Ariete Qurioe

Pescaruzzia - A region out in Alternia's countryside, known for its large green fields and warm Mediterranean climate. It is home to many vineyards and orchards, as the weather and soil quality is perfect for agricultural endeavours. It is not uncommon for residents of this region to sell their wares at farmers markers, or export them in bulk to nearby towns. Based on the Abruzzo region, South Italy. ↳ Known residents: Zotick Aureio, Astera Ringoh, Rosato Sekaan

Phosphor Forest - A phosphorous mine that was abandoned thousands of sweeps ago and has been long since reclaimed by nature, growing into a lush forest. The traces of phosphorous in the soil have caused the plants and wildlife to develop bioluminescence, at the cost of the air being mildly toxic to those who have not grown accustomed to it. ↳ Known residents: Ananta Cahaya

Revoire City - Officially designated as Block 50. A glitzy coastal city that is a highly popular tourist location for rich socialites and celebrities alike. It is known for the famous Revoire Casino, the largest casino in Alternia, as well as the historic Revoire City Grand Prix. Those with permanent residence in Revoire are almost exclusively highbloods, and live within gated hivestem communities. Based on Monaco. ↳ Known residents: Ropikk Alaysi, Tiraol Rikelo, Sharle Casini, Zraike Farina

Sommerset Beach - A stretch of coastline and surrounding islands that are famous for its pink-tinted sand and beautiful coral reef. The seadwellers who live within this region are highly territorial and squabble over ownership of their private beaches and portions of the ocean. Because of this, regular tourism is essentially impossible. ↳ Known residents: Loreli Varuna, Belamy Alchys

Vernrot Harbour - Officially designated as Block 870. A small fishing village plagued by eternal rainfall due to the existence of Those Who Slumber In The Deep. The majority of its residents are unaware that it is a hotspot for both eldritch and supernatural activity. However, the town experiences very little interference from the Empire due to the horrorterrors protecting it. Based on English fishing villages such as Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire, with additional architectural inspirations from Edinburgh, Scotland. ↳ Lore document: Here ↳ Known residents: Phionn Baliso, Ashell Bathre (former), Chryso Haanda, Celise Shoket, The Abysseer (former), Lusien Avalon, Leyjar Avalon (former), The Luminous (former), Lernie Laguno, Vallis Reyleh

Bloodcaste Details (Lime)

In general due to the small range of limes, there is not a lot of difference. All Limes tend to have pigmentation 'issues' (albinism, vitiligo, leucism) and aquatic features (earfins, gills, webbed hands.) Legally, Limes are not divided into sub-types because they are still in recovery from extinction and do not need to be sorted into sub-types with so few of them.

Citrus

Citus tend to have fins under nether/along side normal-er ears, but true earfins are also widely seen. Some level of yellowblood psionics may be present in all sub-types but are typically very weak. Citus also lean to more rounded features. flat noses, monolids and smaller claws are normal. more 'highblood' teeth are also seen throughout, which sets them a bit of of place from other lowbloods. the limes 'calming' ability is very very rare, within the caste only a few have it.

Peridot

as above- limes lack range. extinction recovery has lead to them being rare as a whole caste. albinism, vitiligo, lecuism. Seadweller appearance and function, sharper more pronounced fangs and teeth. Peridot tend towards more true looking earfins. their gills might also have a 'ruffle' or strong lime tint to them. survival abilities tend to connect to nature or plants. odd eyes- slightly thinner pupils or (mostly due to albinism) tinted scleras.

Seaweed

Third verse same as the first- limes lack range. extinction recovery has lead to them being rare as a whole caste. albinism, vitiligo, lecuism. Seaweed tend to look very seadweller-ish. extra webs or fins on the arms or legs isn't too uncommon! claws, sharper more violet like teeth. Longer eyelashes or sharp angled eyes can be found too.

(Note that most traits are merely common, not exclusive to that sub-type. example; Seaweeds tend to extra fines, but standard or fin-less seaweeds exist, Citrus with extra fins and webbing also exist. its a pattern in the caste but not a set rule!)

[luxxlunaae]

i have way too many troll oc ideas that if i make a blog for each and every one ill abandon (aka lose interest because i thought of a more exciting oc. and then THAT oc will get abandoned cuz i thought of an even MORE exciting oc. rinse n repeat) all of them SO

a list of oc ideas i dont think ill ever actually go through with:

troll who's hemospectrum is comprised of three bloods instead of twelve (rust, jade and indigo (aka RGB)) and is confused about the other 9. cuspbloods arent recognized as actual trolls, either being culled (alternia) or culled (beforus).

human who's so deep in their own head and so deeply into the internet and stuff like that that they dont even realize everyones being 100% serious and thinks that Grumblr is just one big roleplay community

sgrub dead session troll that just wants to go back to before they played sgrub, but they can't, so they spend the last few moments (minutes? months? years? who knows) just chatting to other timelines and universes before their inevitable death. the bomb ticks, and theyre so, so tired.

human trapped on alternia, trying to escape. they have a troll disguise and everything. the hive they reside in is abandoned, and the fear of outside makes them somewhat safer then the average person. they get stubbornly adopted by a lusus who lost its grub.(aka the meme of "my dad vs the cat he didnt want" type situation)

grubtuber (troll youtuber) who gets called out by their fans for fake-casting because of their clothes being their supposed blood color. turns out, a bronzeblood CAN wear blue without being a cerulean/indigo.

tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist human who somehow DOESNT believe trolls exist. this is the only conspiracy theory ("aliens are real") that they dont believe.

^ opposite of above. troll skeptic who is adamant that humans dont exist, and that if they did, wouldnt they "be in contact with us?", not realizing that they are.

troll who is for the empire 100% but is a lowblood that the empire treats like shit.

troll who somehow has three blood colors, all never mixing with one another. depending on where you cut, youll either get rust, violet, or olive.

troll pretending to be a confused human whos just found out about trolls. for fun and chaos :3

a seadweller who's had surgery to remove their fins and gills to live a life like a lowblood... but like, the way a rich person romanticies poverty, yknow?

[hsoppositezodiac]

Polypa Goezee

Lowblood, highblood, it still doesn't matter. Everybody suck. She's a ninja who helps rustblood Tegiri Kalbur evade getting himself culled, and easily gets original products for him due to her status. She has pale feelings for him, but never expresses them. She enjoys collecting card games.

Konyyl Okimaw

A woman true to her status. Aggressive, culls mercilessly using her shark gloves, and always gathers precious jewelry after her hunts, except she gives them as gifts to her matesprit. She is faithful to an ancient violetblood woman who marked Alternian history.

Charun Krojib

Sea worms enjoyer. They're like an opposite Dualscar. Instead of orphaning, they re-home lusii. They create art using things they find underwater.

Boldir Lamati

In the public view, she may seem like every other seadweller. Snob, ostentatious, casteist. But in reality, she's secretly leading a group of trolls of much lower castes who have a conspiracy against the Empire and plan to overthrow the fuchsias. Like a troll mafia.
