holy shit??????/pos

Every body needs fucking perceive

The Beforan zeitgeist has a culture of excuses and mis & disinformation that the greater culture's fascist right uses as leverage for their exclusionary politics and fuel for a culture war which gives them an in-road to power, a distraction from scrutiny, and a way to get common people to go against their own best interests. Here are that thing's summerized thoughts on lowbloods. In other words, its the quiet part being said out loud.

rust - inherently stupid and unworthy of any kind of aid or investment. any effort put into educating them will either be wasted or will be pointless in a few years when they die of old age.

bronze - inherently stupid, maybe more than rust, and also unreliable, still unworthy of any effort or investment. predisposed towards addiction and why would you give anything to a population that would just spend it on drugs. Theyre more like animals than trolls, its why they should be excluded from any kind of aid or investment.

gold - intellectually smart but hyper granular, completely oblivious when it comes to any other intelligence, also considered cruel, if they arent high enough grade psionic to be in a psionic training program, theyre considered predisposed to being erratic and self interested and thus are unreliable and unworthy of aid or investment.

lime - emotionally smart, but idiotic when it comes to any other form of intelligence, genetically unstable and prone to mutations, all need special help to cope with the big scary world. any investment directed towards them would be wasted, better to just keep them home instead of sending them to school, cullers.

in other words, the misanthropic tropes are that Rustbloods are only good for uneducated labor, they'll die too soon to be worth investing in, Bronzebloods will spend any money they get on some inebriant and if they aren't inherently stupid they'll end up wrecking their brains for the same end result, Goldbloods are selfish cruel and insular, and Limebloods are "special" not fit for the real world.

It should go without saying that none of these are actually inherent to their bloodcastes and are at best complete and arbitrary fabrications, and at worst founded on misleading data and maliciously ignorant interpolations of the already misleading data.

Rustbloods' naturally shorter lives are far exaggerated due to almost universally getting inferior medical treatment, if any at all, working the hardest jobs, and getting the least compensation. Their trend towards being less educated is a result of their mistreatment, and then their lower education is used to justify the continued mistreatment.

Bronzebloods are about the same, because of their just slightly more favorable treatment compared to Rust, theyre also subject to all of those problems, their unique propagandized issue of drug problems is in reality both overblown and more a repercussion of their place in society. they more or less inhabit an economic hotspot where their prospects are so miserable that they have no hopeful future, but they aren't so under the thumb as to be consistently forced to focus on the uber-short term with no opportunity for recreation. because of all of this there is a real and significant trend towards addiction that has subsequently been exaggerated and integrated into the propaganda of their bloodcaste. the only thing actually inherent to their caste that relates to their stereotyping is the animal communion psionics, which had an outsized representation in bronze communities even before troll eugenic programs focused on delineation isolation and segregation of psionic traits in castes.

Goldbloods are a semi-protected caste due to how critically important their exploitation is to the empire. There are ships that don't have helms, but they're only used in-system, and they're not preferred. they're like crossing the Atlantic, you can do it in a plane or a boat. their extreme psionics are also the result of a eugenics program, in troll genetics most things are, trolls didn't originally have psionic sub-demographics that were truly isolated to a single caste, but its really a different thing entirely for the Goldbloods. It was an effort comparable to breeding dogs for increased maximum land speed. Goldbloods, because of this, have an outsized representation of physical health issues and, of course, of mental illnesses, particularly mood swings, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, and finally, something not dissimilar to human adhd &/or autism. Many of these problems are comorbid with psionics, but its rare to find a goldblood who doesn't suffer from a single one of them. Its something quite similar to the other heavily troll-modified bloodcaste, Ceruleans... Though Ceruleans get far more special care for their unique demogeaphical risks, to the point where its basically a foregone conclusion. Something a Goldblood is ridiculed for is something a Cerulean might not even realize they also do|have|need, just because the zeitgeistic atmosphere around it is so different.

Limebloods... they are a storybook of opression. The rates of education among limebloods are some of the lowest, take out hiveschooling and they Are the lowest. They're a protected caste— universally culled— Their stereotype is of being stupid. Tell me if you think its genetic or not. Emotional intelligence is just about the only form of intelligence that is given any sort of means for them to reach. Non-Psionic Limebloods have no special emotional insight, and those who are psionic, arent suddenly Gondi just cause they have to sift through the emotions of everyone in the room AND their own and then figure out which are which. Their psionics, morso than most other psionics, are totally overwhelming. The reasons that emotional intelligence is more common in those who are psionic is survivorship bias. There is actually a higher rate of mutation in Limebloods... Now that the Lime Mothergrub Program is in full effect. That stereotype— the notion that limebloods are exceptionally unstable, was part of the long term smear campaign enacted by the Empire's control initiative which in part resulted in the LMP. Lime hysterics, Lime mutagenics, Lime retardation, undercut Lime voices and supress new ones. Convince the culture that Limes need intervention. Spin it benevolent and you'll have them under your scalpal in sweeps. You'll get your LMP. The LMP which is a program to systemically remove Limeblood genetics from the pool by only turning in Lime bonded material to one Mothergrub and none other. This has FUCKED the genetics of Every troll which that MG has spawned. Its not as obvious for some, but its the reason there are trolls like Root and Star, if you remember those two. Even beyond all of that, as a lowblood protected caste, the world is made to be scary to them. Because they are coddled and constrained their whole lives, almost universally, they are never told how to function. Not by default. Not how other castes are. Of course they need special help, all castes need special help with caste specific problems, but if you want to minimize special help, maybe raise them like normal fucking trolls. Maybe stop spending effort specifically fucking up Limebloods.

But of course the point isnt Actually any of that. The point is cruelty. The point is control. If you can convince the lowest [coolblood] he's better than the best [warmblood], he won't notice you're picking his pocket.

Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you

In summary, the effects of their societal hardships are propagandized as inherent to their blood color, and then that notion is used to justify the perpetuation of their hardships.

Fantrolls - Info

↓↓↓ info ↓↓↓

Oscine Chrono - Witch of Time

⤷ Oscine is an ambitious troll with a love for glass art, including glassblowing and stained glass. He's pretty self-reliant and he pushes against the notion that some things are beyond control, even death. Especially death. He's the reason his session struggles for some time. He keeps trying to fix things by himself, without any help and he is incredibly stuck on trying to find a way to get his dead matesprit (Carina), whom died before they ever started their session, back but things keeps going wrong.

⤷ He's incredibly clever and creative and he likes to think outside the box. He thinks he can handle things just fine on his own, especially after godtiering. He and Selune butt heads over the inevitability of things. He's a little lost in his grief and it makes him reckless and a little dangerous.

⤷ He likes making mini sculptures with glassblowing. He creates them for fun and for sale, same with his stained glass windows.

-

Selune Miseri - Seer of Doom

⤷ Selune is a bit of a gloomy, quiet troll. She tends to fall into a bit of a "doom and gloom" mindset and she's been described as melancholic by some. She'll occasionally get high with her matesprit, Carina, leaving her a bit giggly and relaxed.

⤷ She has a hard time expressing herself emotionally at times and she sometimes goes a little too far into her pessimism and the inevitability of things, though Carina usually helps to balance her out a little and bring her back from that.

-

Aureli Snovae - Maid of Space

⤷ Aureli is a creative, curious troll with an interest in science. She doesn't care much for the fact that she's the heiress to the throne and she really doesn't want to be in charge of so many trolls. She doesn't think she can lead the way she's meant to, but she's unwilling to go down without a fight when the day comes and the current empress tries to kill her. Failure is not an option for her. She wants things to improve for those lower on the hemospectrum and she knows she can do something about it.

⤷ She likes being alone, though she does care for her friends and she will spend time with them. She can easily get lost in her head.

⤷ She has some complicated feelings for her closest friend, Howlen. She's not entirely sure if she's wanting feeling pale feelings or red flushed feelings for him, but she knows it's one of the two.

-

Howlen Carnis - Knight of Blood

⤷ Howlen is a somewhat stubborn, grumpy troll. He can come across as intimidating for those who might not know him well and he knows it. He keeps up a front for the most part, not wanting to be vulnerable or be seen as such. He's incredibly loyal to his friends and bonds and trust are very important to him.

⤷ He's especially protective over his close friend, Aureli. They have some complicated feelings there and he's fully aware that he wants to be in a matespritship with her. He only doesn't act on his feelings because he wants to be certain that she returns the feelings, and he knows she has enough on her plate as it is.

⤷ He hunts for food and he likes sharing his hunts (whether it's fur, teeth, bones, meat, etc) with his lusus and with his friends whenever possible. Hunting helps to relieve stress for him, but he can't spend all his time on that, so he also stress bakes.

-

Carina Sancti - Knight of Hope

⤷ Carina is a cheery, giggly troll. Her behavior typically is more on the manic side of things. She has a more formal way of speaking and it tends to show more clearly when she's high, since she's much calmer and relaxed then.

⤷ She's incredibly optimistic and can't bear to think of a world without hope. Selune, her matesprit, sometimes has to help bring her down a little to see things as they are and to clear her head.

-

Chrysa Topary - Heir of Life

⤷ Chrysa is a caring and bright troll with an affinity for plants and horticulture. She's witty and far too forgiving, radiating warmth. She finds peace in her greenhouse, where she cultivates trees and plants from all over. She sells plants and flowers, but she enjoys caring for them as well.

⤷ By the time the 'story' starts, she's not alive. She's a ghost and she has no way of communicating with her friends or her matesprit, Oscine, but she can see the turmoil he's going through.

⤷ Some of the glass on her greenhouse is stained glass, courtesy of Oscine. It helps to lessen the harsh sunlight on certain plants.

kapowah!!!

[kabutoden]

just some random lowblood designs... i wanted some characters for alternian melosa and floria to torment, though i think they exist on caeser too. The bronzeblood can sense danger and melosa's adventures keep messing with her life without melosa even knowing who she is. A 'my cabbages' situation. A "wow that was a lot of collateral damage! Good thing noone got hurt(out of sight. troll crying. WHY IS MY HOUSE GONE)"She was hoping Melosa had died, but upon seeing her in the cafeteria freaked the hell out as it was the first time she ever got to see the cicada jerk not just in passing--but perhaps, immediately declaring her intense loathing for melosa as soon as she came across her was a mistake. Now everyone think she has a CRUSH on that nasty jadeblood!! GROSS!!!

Her friend, the greenblood's, is just a scaredycat based on those white fuzzy caterpillars. I think they'll grow up to be scary, but right now they look lame.

Bloodcaste Details (Bronze)

One of the largest castes, with so much range its really hard to list just a few things typical of the whole group- Survival abilities are super common, almost every single bronze will have some kind of power, even if weak, subtle or hardly useful. Larger horns are pretty common!

Clay

Sharper features, high cheekbones, pronounced noses and more angled faces. generally lack claws, freckles or the like but a lot have 'clay smudges' on their cheeks/around the eyes! (in Prima-based languages its translated as more 'dirt/muddy marks' like they accidentally wiped a bit of dust onto their faces). this does appear like a sort of blush, with their blood color just, being more naturally present. gives a sort of rosy look to them. like a human in the cold a bit to long.

Cola

The largest sub-type! Bronze as a caste as huge, but compared to other lowbloods their middle sub-type is a fair chunk larger then the other two. about 40% to 60% of bronzebloods fall into Cola! its hard to say what traits are most common given how big the range is, most survival abilities are peaceful, having a more combat or aggression geared power is quite uncommon.

Umber

Rather known for baby-faces despite most Umber trolls not having one! softer features, especially compared to Clays? yes, but far from everyone-has-baby-face. only about a fourth of them do. Aggression geared survival abilities are present in some, uncommon but still a notable amount. Tend to be a bit darker then other trolls on average.

(Note that most traits are merely common, not exclusive to that sub-type. example; clays tend to sharper features, but round-faced clays exist, Umbers with angled pointy faces also exist. its a pattern in the caste but not a set rule!)
