[MOACHI] -> INTRODUCTION

-> You're fidgeting nervously with the little gold-beaded bracelet that's concealed by your sweater. You don't... Really wanna be here, but maybe it'll help you come outta your shell! Your name is MOACHI NILDAI, but you prefer to be called "CHICHI" instead. -> You're... Not too special. At least you think so. You're a HERMIT and tend to STAY INSIDE MOST OF THE TIME, only going outside when you really need something. It's hard for you to go into the outside world without feeling a massive sense of DISCONNECTION from basically... Everything. Or well- Not exactly EVERYTHING, but most things for sure. -> You spend most of your nights in your cozy little cottage hive that's in a less populated LOWBLOOD NEIGHBORHOOD. It's quiet and calm, which suits you since you're the same way! You like that you can hear your CARDINAL LUSUS'S singing as well because of this. -> Most of your hobbies are quite personally to you. Such as READING and WRITING, operating your ONLINE STORY REVIEW BLOG and.... AFFECTIVE SCIENCE. All of these have a big personal connection to you in one way or another, so you tend to keep a lot of that kind of stuff to yourself. Besides your blog... That's very open for public view!

A Roetrolls Guide to Cuspbloods

Cusps are legally sorted into a caste by their cavern workers, and they come in three varieties:

True Cusps are considered an even 50/50 split, and could be sorted in either direction depending on the cavern workers' discretion. Hemoloyal trolls tend to look down on these cuspbloods the most, as they don't fit neatly into one box or the other.

Tints are a mix of one caste and the midpoint, which makes them easier to sort. Nearly all trolls could technically be considered tints, as it's extremely rare for one's blood to match their caste exactly, but cusploods are only labelled as such when they are visibly between two castes.

Double Cusps are a subcategory of tints with an even 25/75 split. Beyond this point, the difference typically becomes imperceptible, and it is considered a standard variation in hue.

---

Some cusps are considered rarer than others, as it's hard to recognize them when two castes are already close in hue. Jade/Olive, Indigo/Cerulean, and Indigo/Purple cusps are especially difficult to spot!

Typically, cavern workers will sort true cusps into the lower caste. In cases such as Teal/Jade cusps, however, they usually do the opposite as a means of keeping their own rare caste free of cuspbloods.

Gunner! Is there any specific reason you're so jittery around highbloods? You're pretty high up on the spectrum yourself, what's there to fear?

“jittery? i’d moreso call it “respectful.””

“i’m not an indigo, if that’s what you’re thinking. legally i’m a cerulean- it’s a grey area. my blood is just bright.”

“sure, you could say that cerulean is still highblood, but that doesn’t exactly matter around seadwellers. its not as if i’ve ever been hurt by one- i play my cards right- but i’ve found that most highbloods working in the fleet are the violent ones. their blood color already causes them to be quite powerhungry- those who make it into the upper rungs of the fleet are simply.. more so.”

“to them, cerulean is enough to criticize.”

“i’ve been taught to respect my superiors. it’s reflex at this point.”

Rarebloods/Cusps In My Lore

Rarebloods are Trolls who have differing tints and shades of an existing caste on the Hemospectrum. Collectively on in the FTC they are called “cusps,” however in my lore “cusp” is considered a debated slur/take back word similarly to the human equivalent of the controversy surrounding the word “queer.” Rarebloods are not considered Mutants, though often are mistaken as one.

In my lore, Rarebloods are… well… considered to be rare. They don’t hatch very often; those who do are usually mistaken as mutants and culled. Additionally, Rarebloods often have below-average fertility rates, so even though it is not impossible for a Rareblood to have a descendant, it is highly unlikely! Rarebloods who were not culled in the caverns and live freely experience much of the same luxuries and rights as normal blood castes, though are often discriminated against or denied some privileges on a day-to-day basis depending on the service being provided and its servicer. Additionally, many known Rarebloods are actively hunted down for sport or use, due to their blood color being very pretty and thus very valuable to bounty hunters, artists, and collectors.

The difference between Rarebloods and Mutants relies on their inheritance. Mutants tend to be born with genetic damages, which may turn their blood to a bright “candy” color, or born with extra appendages such as extra arms, limbs, eyes, tails, fins, etc. that are abnormal to the closest caste they represent. In Rarebloods however, these mutations are absent; Rarebloods are a result of true cross-inheritance, taking traits from both parents and combining it into one Troll instead of the two grubs that closely resemble one respective ancestor each (as I headcanon troll reproduction to be).

Typically in Rarebloods, one parent influences the color while the other parent influences the hue. Horn designs can also be inherited or mixed between the two parents. Psionics can be inherited by either parent but in my lore psionic genes and their expressions are more recessive meaning while the genetic disposition is present the resulting grub may or may not have any powers.

Thanks to @contrastparadoxx, recent development and idea bouncing has been able to organize the concept of Rarebloods a bit better by coming up with subcategories.

Pastelbloods

These blood colors are very light and pale in comparison to most hues, and trolls who are considered Pastelbloods might be associated, but not always, with albinism or leucism.

Pastelbloods on my blog: Athens, Adrian, Virtuoso

Cuspbloods / Betweenbloods

These are the ones that everyone is most familiar with in the FTC. They are trolls whose blood color is a hue between two or more distinguished castes on the Hemospectrum.

Shadebloods

These blood colors are the opposite of Pastelbloods, in which their color is very very dark in comparison to most hues. Shadebloods might be associated, but not always, with melanism.

Are the Fauruxes Rarebloods?

No. The Fauruxes have always been considered mutants, but just as there are subclasses of Rarebloods there may be subclasses of Mutantbloods as well. What makes them a mutant is their blood-based psionics, instead of mental-based. A mutation has allowed for chemical compounds to be created in their blood that helps control and produce fire.

Rarebloods do not distinctly have Mutations, thus they are considered "safe" and "on the spectrum." Though, even if you are *technically* a Rareblood, if you have something abnormal to your caste then you are ultimately labelled as a "mutant." Remember, Rarebloods are "on the spectrum," Mutants are not.

But as always, labels are societal constructs and people cannot be fit neatly into boxes. What is one's Rareblood might be someone else's Mutantblood, and vice versa, regardless of the Troll's genetics involved.

If you have any questions or ideas feel free to DM me or send me an ask.

[contrastparadoxx]

Honestly I should talk about Vasiko more he’s so funny to me I think you guys would like him

[canisbeasts-ooc]

Mod Dog here, I am perhaps pushing the boundaries of what makes a troll overpowered, but also. I find it fun. In conclusion, do whatever you want furever :3

I feel like we should make our trolls more ‘cringe’. Doing that right now actually. I cannot be stopped.

== Hm. We are not the most uncommon, sometimes mistaken for cuspbloods, though. Certainly not common. I am stronger than a goldblood would be in my situation, and before the organ was removed, I had limited psionics which manifested more as... a taser than anything flashy. I could charge my husktop. ==
