Bloodshuffle Cast, Part 2 — Alpha Trolls, Part 1

Eridan Megido

Thief of Time

Derse Dreamer

True Aries

apocalypseApathy

Doubles and capitalizes his P’s and R’s, but nothing else

Strife Specibus: wandkind

Fetch Modus: Ouija

Relationships

Feferi Maryam: wants her to be his morail so, so bad. Wears her blood color to give off the impression that she’s already his morail.

Aranea Peixes: sick and tired of her bugging and fussing and whining. Gives her the slip when she tries to talk to the group as a whole.

Terezi Megido: embarrassed of her. Can’t believe they’re each other’s dancestors.

[Roxy] Pyrope: wants to be her friend, but she doesn’t trust him AT ALL since he killed a bunch of their friends and caused the Scratch.

Meenah Pyrope: one of the few people of whom he’s actually scared.

[Porrim] Lalonde: has a secret crush on her. It’s one of those things that really reminds you that he’s only 6 sweeps old.

[Latula] Strider: minor pitched feelings because her “rad girl” “gimmick” annoys him.

FarragoFiction Sprite:

Discrepancies between his FF sprite and “canon:”

His horns curl downward at the end, albeit not to the same extent as Damara’s.

Less of his hair is the color of his blood.

Neither of his glasses lenses are “broken,” but the one on his left-hand side has the same covering as canon!Vriska’s used to, albeit with one constant dot in the center (as opposed to the seven on canon!Vriska’s, which only show up when she uses her vision eightfold). Also, there’s less tape holding his glasses bridge together.

Darker eyebags.

He’s missing quite a few teeth. Once the Alpha trolls woke up in the dream bubbles, Meenah punched them out.

Wears his canon shoes (albeit burgundy with jade stripes) and white over-the-knee socks

His shirt is black.

Notes:

One of the youngest Alpha trolls

Believes in and adores magic with a grublike sense of wonder, but totally lies about it to his friends. He’s bad at that, though, so he just tries not to talk about magic at all.

He really needs braces, but he refuses to wear them. On Beforus, they’re available for the culled (which he isn’t), but on Alternia, they’re only reserved for highbloods (purple and above).

It’s ambiguous if he knew the specific death circumstances that would save himself and the other Alpha trolls from the Scratch, but he sure had fun killing some of his companions. Aranea realized the Scratch loophole in the middle of what he was doing and killed everyone else (admittedly, Eridan only killed, like, three of them).

He’s working for [LE] out of bitterness and a desire to end it all (hence apocalypseApathy), but it has helped him relearn that believing in magic isn’t something of which he should be ashamed.

He uses the ouija fetch modus because it saves him the trouble of thinking about what to retrieve. This is partially because of apathy and partially because it gives him a splitting headache.

He’s a Thief of Time because he ends up giving [LE] access to his time powers (i.e. stealing his teammates’ access to them) for his own selfish reasons.

His left-hand lens fell out once, hence the pseudo-eyepatch.

Calbon Nitram

Mage of Light

Derse Dreamer

Taurpia

adolescentTerror

Types in ALL-CAPS except for his O’s. Still does that thing where he separates gendered terms from words using spaces.

Relationships:

Eridan Megido: unrequited flushed crush. Takes personal and vocal offense to being told not to wear Eridan’s blood color.

[Dirk] Vantas: “HEE HEE. HAH HAH. Hoo Hoo. YoU KNoW THAT ‘SoCIAL JUSTICE’ BULLSHIT THAT YoU’RE ALWAYS GoING oN ABoUT? IT’S SUCH A JoKE. HoW YoU DELUDE YoURSELF INTo THINKING THAT YoU HAVE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL To SAY. oR EVEN *CARE.* ABoUT WHAT YoU SAY. RATHER THAN JUST HEAR YoURSELF TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK.” (wants to study him under a proverbial microscope)

[Calliope] Maryam: “WoW. Do YoU REALLY THINK. THAT THE SMoTHERING MAN NERISMS YoU CARRIED WITH YoU THRoUGHoUT THE BRooDING CAVERNS. WILL HELP YoU SURVIVE THE HARSH WoRLD WE HAVE BEEN THRUST INTo?”

[Jane] Nitram: “GoD. SWEET GRUB MoTHER OF FUCK. IS THIS WHAT THE NAME oF NITRAM HAS CoME To? “PooR, SWEET, INNoCENT” FRoNDLINGS WHo CAN’T HANDLE A LITTLE MURDER? NoW, LISTEN To ME. *LISTEN* To *ME.* I WILL SHoW YoU THE PATH To SURVIVAL. NoT BECAUSE I CARE. BUT BECAUSE YoUR WEAK AND PATHETIC EXISTENCE IS AN INSULT To MY HoNoR.” (A small nugget of care hides under multiple layers of something or other. Probably not sexism, though, since troll girls tend to be pretty badass.)

FarragoFiction Sprite:

Discrepancies between it and “canon:”

Horns are shorter

Hair based on the fanart that inspired canon!Caliborn’s “self-insert”

Darker eyebags

His pants don’t have stripes.

His suspender buckles and bowtie are Eridan’s blood color.

Notes:

He’s a Mage as Paradox Space’s “punishment” for his canon actions.

He’s basically doing the same thing to Eridan that Eridan is doing to Feferi.

Loves puppets. Hates that [Dirk] likes them. Thinks he can make [Dirk] stop liking them by telling him to.

Knows WAAAAAY too much about troll reproduction, and talks about it even moreso.

The “bon” part is pronounced “bone.”

[crowsapprentice]

ok I couldn’t stop thinking about bloodshuffle so I’m going to compile some stuff about it. Starting with the cherubs.

Under the cut for mentions of self-harm and guns.

Bloodshuffle Cast, Part 1 — cherubs

Cronovus (from Cronus + Nova)

Lord of Time

Derse Dreamer

vindicatedVillain

Only capitalizes his V’s.

Text: Caliborn-red (#ff0000)

Strife Specibus: Wandkind

Relationships:

Jadrudji [Jade]: one-sided pitched animosity. Cronovus rejects the idea of merging on the grounds that he should be his own person, but his ego and the matter of cherubs mean he does this by rejecting Jadrudji’s personhood. Disgusted by her fascination with animals, says humans are “so much more adVanced.”

Carlos [Kurloz]: Cronovus insists that he’s “my oh-so-chummy human friend.” Carlos would apathetically disagree.

Horus [Horus]: his “sworn enemy,” although Horuss acts oblivious to this to fuck with him.

Discrepancies between FarragoFiction and his “canon” sprite:

Still has his signature cigarette. It’s one of those fake candy ones.

Different symbol (wand with light coming from it that makes it look like a radio tower)

Wears leather claspless winklepickers. Exclusively violet.

That stuff on his face is actually two scars. They look like his canon ones, but about the same size and position as the face paint (think like his scars in Sovereignstuck). They’re self-inflicted because he has a high pain tolerance and thinks they look “badass.”

Notes

Still super into greaser culture

Wants to be “relevant,” no matter what. Originally wanted to be a hero but the way cherubs work, he thought he had no choice but to be a villain. Therefore, why not steal everyone else’s hopes of living? (He originally was going to be a Thief of Hope before I had to switch things around to meet the Master-class quota.)

His swirls turn inward because from his perspective, the one on his right cheek turns right, which represents how he thinks he’s always right.

He capitalizes V’s and Jadrudji capitalizes W’s. This shows how Cronovus scoffs at the idea of teamwork while Jadrudji embraces it (two V’s together make a W).

Needs glasses but refuses to wear them. He’ll stab you in the stomach with a wand if you mention it. His prescription is different from Jadrudji’s.

His name comes from the fact that, iirc cherubs are born in a dying star.

Still insists that magic is real (I, for one, believe it is) and points to the good things the universe “throws at [him]” as evidence.

Jadrudji (from Jade + Drudge)

Muse of Space

Prospit Dreamer

wistfulWoes

Only capitalizes her W’s.

Text color: Jade lime

Strife Specibus: pistolkind

Relationships:

Cronovus: hopes against hope that the two of them can get along and merge successfully. Initially optimistic outlook but thinks he’s a “big dumb stupid doodoo head” in her typical Jade way.

Kenya Lalonde [Kanaya]: pleasant friends who tone themselves down around each other slightly because they’re afraid of weirding each other out. Kenya is fascinated by cherub culture and Jadrudji is enamored by Kenya’s at-the-time fading interest in frogs. Pestering Kenya for information about them helped reignite her interest therein. Also, Kenya made a fursona (she’s a moth: so she and Jadrudji could roleplay together!

FarragoFiction sprite:

Discrepancies between her FarragoFiction sprite and her “canon” sprite:

The only teeth that stick out are her two front ones like in canon, but they’re still large and pointed.

Her symbol more closely represents a stylized wolf looking upwards with their mouth open.

She has a bunch of freckles all over her cheeks and body.

Her outfit actually looks a lot like the Iron Lass dress!

Her belt is the same color as her shoes.

Her skirt is bright red as a sign of good will toward Cronovus.

Notes:

Wants to become an Earth animal so she and her brother can live freely without restrictions or need for emotions

Her fursona is a wolf! A totally scenecore sparkledog wolf. She looks emo but really is just somewhat monotonous and likes the fashion (spiked collars/bracelets and piercings).

Her handle represents how she’s dragging her feet dealing with the Cronovus stuff.
