Troll of the Day!

Day 11: Fortun Veinar

BIO

Fortun may look like, and present as, a violetblood but he's actually a top caste fushia. Since the dawn of his existence, Fortun has been plagued by an inexplicable streak of good luck. He never loses a bet, never gets hurt and all the good things in life just seem to come his way. He utterly despises it. With a lack of consequence comes a lack of variety and, for a certain adrenaline seeking seadweller, that's not fun. It's not fun at all. He knows, by now, how every given situation is going to play out and it's fucking dull as shit. Fortun is a, let's just say eccentric troll. He's weird. He's depressed, and he keeps seeking out the weirdest shit to try and get some variety to his undoubtedly long life. Despite all this, he does have a kind heart, he just... doesn't have a baseline for what's normal for other people. (A papercut might be deadly, he doesn't know!)

Inspiration:

Fortun was originally a fantroll adaptation of an old oc of mine. He has since become his own person. I just kinda like the further implications of like a person who never loses. Like, yeah, he never loses but does he truly win. If you knew the result of every action would betting really be fun? Anyway, originally he presented as a violet because if he didn't... canonically he would have been killed by the empress. But, really, he just doesn't care enough to be in charge. He's one of my favorite babs. I hope other people like him too.

Fortun is open for Questions!

Map of the Union Capital, with relevant locations

This map, based on my redrawing of the ASIT map, shows the rough location of the homes of Garak, Parmak and Tain, the Museum of Cardassian Art, the Obsidian Order compound and two medical facilities (marked with lacefedora’s wonderful Cardassian medicine symbol), Parmak’s practice and Desar Medical Centre.

The Cardassian Calendar

Cardassians start their chronology with the quasi-mythical establishment of the first Union (which at the time was confined only to part of Cardassia Prime). This was in 1616 CE. Here are some key dates, Union years first and Terran CE years in brackets:

693 (2309) - Garak is born.

743 (2359) - The events of Love in a Time of Oppression take place.

752 (2368) - Garak is exiled.

753 (2369) - Starfleet takes over Terok Nor; the events of The Emissary take place.

"Many sweeps ago" for Fortun

Send me “Many sweeps ago…” for a memory from my troll’s past

Your name is Fortun Veinar and you are lucky.

"Read 'em an' weep!"

You throw your hand down on the table. Your opponents let out their respective noises of upset and you pull in all of the chips.

Lucky may be a bit of an understatement. You've won every round and you're not even sure how to play poker.

"That's it!"

A thump shakes the table, knocking over the piles of your easily won chips. You look up and angry blue eyes glare back at you. The troll they're attached to is beefy and livid.

If you were anyone else, you'd be concerned.

"Whad's id?"

The blueblood screams and throws the table to the side. The majority of the establishment runs for the nearest door. A few of his buddies flank the blueblood on each side. You stay exactly where you were, as calm as can be, even as the blueblood advances.

You don't so much as flinch as he throws a punch at your face. You don't have to. You know you don't.

A part of the ceiling collapses suddenly, conveniently onto your would be attacker. He's buried in seconds.

One of his buddies shouts something and the rest scramble.

You sweep up your strewn chips into a convenient bag. You vaguely recognize the chaos behind you. Some will look after their fallen friend. Some will try and attack you, only to have it blow up in their face.

You've done this song and dance.

The chaos you're leaving doesn't even register.

You turn in your chips.

You get your money.

You leave.

You find another place.

Rinse and repeat.

With this lovely lady

Reblog with a character [fankids/species welcome] to be judged by Srekno Veinar, aka La Papillon
