'''Dismas Mersiv''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|dismas|gigantisDebilitation}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemic sigil is [[wikipedia:Phosphorus|Phosphorus]], and he is a deconstruction of the "edgy" fantroll archetype.<ref>https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq</ref>

His [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is a pseudo-healing factor, which speeds up his body's natural healing process but does not lessen any resulting scarring.

He was the fourth troll introduced and the fifth troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
Dismas shares a name with [[wikipedia:Penitent thief|Saint Dismas]], the "Penitent Thief" or "Good Thief", possibly as a nod to his [[Class|player class]]. According to the Christian tradition, Saint Dismas was one of the two criminals who died on crosses next to [[wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus]] during the latter's crucifixion.

The name Dismas is also derived from Greek ''δυσμή (dysme),'' meaning "sunset".

==Biography==

===Early life===
As stated by [[Glomer Hicner|Glomer]] during [[Snowbound Blood: Volume Nine|''Snowbound Blood:'' Volume Nine]], Dismas was taken captive by a [[Lusus#Skulltitan lusus|Skulltitan]] while still in school. His exact age at the time is unknown. Since that moment, he was forced to look after his new lusus, mining irradiated ores from the canyon where his hive is located and eventually building up a resistance to the hazardous material.

[[File:Pg420 1.png|left|thumb|A younger Dismas working for Murrit.|alt=|208x208px]]
Later, Dismas met [[Murrit Turkin]] through an online game of poker in which he bet and lost his "soul", coming to work for the seadweller as a personal hitman in the process. During this time, he helped them take back the pieces of the [[Frog Temple]] they had sold, as Murrit needed them back in order to fulfill their deal with [[White Noise]]. The two became [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismeses]] over the course of their relationship.

Also during that time, Murrit and Dismas met [[Jentha Briati]] through unknown circumstances. Dismas refused to end her life, and eventually the two {{VE Quote|wn|found solace in each other}}, entering a [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirallegiance]].

===Act 1===
Dismas is first introduced inside his respiteblock. He is soon messaged by Murrit, who urges him to go outside in order to help her with her plans to save their friends from planetary annihilation and bring about [[The Game]]. Despite his concerns about dealing with his lusus, Dismas begrudgingly complies.

After leaving his hive, Dismas finds one of Murrit's remote surveillance [[boobdrone]]s waiting for him. Controlled by Murrit, the boobdrone points toward the sky and draws his attention to an incoming meteor, proof that their world-ending claims are true. Moments later, Dismas' angered lusus finds him. He braces for a confrontation.

Later, Dismas receives a message from [[Albion Shukra]] while hiding from the Skulltitan inside a cave. Unaware that she is being possessed by her long-dead ancestor, he has a brief conversation with [[Cyprim Shukra]], who warns him not to "lend credence to the [[White Noise|man who spins his words like yarn]]" and tells him to stop the "[[Ellsee Raines|limeblooded vessel]] to his heart". Both statements leave Dismas deeply confused and concerned for his friend.

During the events of {{VE|310|2=[S] Arcjec: Enter.}}, Dismas is shown fighting his lusus. He is knocked off cliff and then shot with a laser-like blast from the Skulltitan's mouth, losing his bandana in the process and hurtling toward a nearby waterfall.

===Act 2===
Some time later, Dismas wakes up at the bottom of the canyon, alive but heavily injured. He's approached by the same boobdrone from earlier and lets Murrit know that he's out of commission, on account of a newly-broken arm. They get into an argument about Murrit's previous actions putting Dismas' in harm's way, all for one of their {{VE Quote|dismas|fun little exploit/\tion numbers}}, but the couple dances around an actual apology. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move on, Murrit brings his moirail, Jentha, into the call.

After Dismas reassures Jentha about his condition, downplaying his injuries, Murrit states that he's ready for Dismas to act as his server player. Dismas and Jentha are outraged at the suggestion, both due to Dismas' condition and Murrit being entirely at fault for it, but the seadweller manages to talk Dismas into listening to him: he tells them that he's hatched a plan to get Dismas back to his hive using an ore-powered minecart by the nearby rails.

Jentha and Dismas are skeptical, but Dismas concedes, due to both a lack of options and Murrit's reassurances that things are {{VE Quote|murrit|>([under control]}}. Dismas is then deposited into the cart and proceeds to {{VE Quote|wn|MELT TRACK}}, boobdrone in tow.

During {{VE|641|2=[S] Engage.}}, Dismas is shown almost falling to his death as he's forced to jump from the minecart in order to avoid a pile of rocks on its path. Murrit manages to catch him with the boobdrone, safely throwing him inside his hive through a window. She then pushes him down through the ladder that leads into his respiteblock, where Dismas finally manages to help her with her entry.

At some point after Murrit's entry into the Game, Albion messages Dismas in order to assist him. Dismas inquires after her strange behavior from before, a subject she tries to deflect much to his chagrin. She concedes on talking about it later on the promise that he'll let her call him "cowboy", an old childhood nickname, again.

The two friends spend some time working together to figure out his entry codes, without much success. In the midst of an angry tirade, Dismas is visited by [[Weird Al]], who enters his hive through a [[Alchemy|strange portal]]. Weird Al then tears a hole through [[Aspect|Space]], uncovering Dismas' entry codes for him. Seemingly taking over his entry process, Al continues to assist Dismas with the help of a few [[Homunculi|wispy black creatures]].

As the homunculi build Dismas' entry gate, his paragon repository trial activates, binding him and simultaneously taking control of his lusus. Before he has a chance to act, however, Al kills the skulltitan with alchemy, releasing Dismas' denizen and activating his gate. A fuming Dismas is then kicked inside his gate and into [[the Medium]].

During the events of {{VE|1000|2=[S] Ellsee: Enter.}}, Dismas is shown landing on his welcome platform and arguing with his denizen, [[Forcas]].

=== Act 3 Act 1===
Dismas is a part of the memo Arcjec makes after their entries into the Medium. He catches up with the other players, as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far.

== Personality and traits==
[[File:Pg112.png|left|thumb|Not if he has anything to say about it. |alt=]]
Dismas is defined by a constant struggle to overcome his difficult circumstances. Having been raised by a volatile and aggressive [[Lusus#Skulltitan lusus|skulltitan lusus]], he was forced to endure horrible physical tolls and fend for himself from a very young age. Before the Game, Dismas was driven by his goal to escape his abusive home and kill his lusus, a dedication he shows through time spent studying ancient footage of skulltitans and the methods of their defeat.

He also seems prone to overestimating his abilities, to the point where he often does more harm than good to himself. Dismas tries to present a façade of being capable and tough, but has a tendency to freeze whenever it comes to making riskier decisions, a fact he is painfully aware of. His gentler, more nurturing side is on display whenever he interacts with those he cares about, namely Albion and Jentha. Although he remains curt and a bit "prickly", it's clear that he is an understanding and honest friend. In contrast, Murrit seems to bring out his thornier side, intentionally flaring his temper and causing him to lash out in frustration.

Dismas is very self conscious about his appearance, particularly his facial scars which have disfigured the left side of his mouth. He tends to cover himself up with multiple layers of clothing in order to hide this scarring.

== Relationships==

===Murrit Turkin===
[[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] and Dismas have been in a kismessitude for at least two sweeps and share a mutually antagonistic relationship. Murrit appears to have a tough-love stance toward Dismas, often "helping" him in roundabout, frustrating ways meant to prod him into action. Dismas is vocally disapproving of Murrit's more aggravating stunts, but tends to go along with them most of the time. He is particularly frustrated by Murrit's avoidance of honest communication, being much more inclined to talk things out without resorting to the usual rival-like theatrics. There is, however, an implicit bond of trust between the two, which is a testament to their partnership of many sweeps.

Dismas seems to hint at a more recent strain in their relationship, which is aggravated by Murrit's aforementioned typical avoidance of direct communication.

=== Jentha Briati===
Dismas and [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] are in a moirallegiance. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, Jentha is much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he's very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. He also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own. The two are shown to be very in tune with one another.

===Albion Shukra===
[[Albion Shukra|Albion]] and Dismas are longtime childhood friends. Dismas was notably concerned about Albion's behavior during her brief possession stint, only relaxing when Murrit assured him that she was fine through his surveillance feeds. The two share an easy rapport, frequently teasing each other but still showing a lot trust and personal insight into the other's emotional states. They used to go by "star child" and "cowboy" when they were younger.

==Trivia==

*Dismas' chat handle, {{VE Quote|dismas|gigantisDebilitation}}, means "Godzilla's weakness" or "weakening Godzilla", with "gigantis" being a reference to the original international title of the second Godzilla movie: [[wikipedia:Godzilla Raids Again#English version|Gigantis: The Fire Monster]], and "debilitation" meaning "to weaken", a reference to Dismas' desire to eliminate his lusus.

Murrit Turkin

2021-10-27T18:56:05Z

Anndec: /* Dismas Mersiv */ removed dreamself matesprit mention as non-canonical; other minor style edits

{{/Infobox}}
'''Murrit Turkin''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|murrit|unclaspedKahuna}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Lead and their horns are shaped like rods with flipped protrusions on the top. Upwards on the right and downwards on the left.

Murrit is based off of the "Incomprehensible Character Mess" fantroll archetype.

She was the fifth troll introduced and, as a Time player, one of the two players meant to usher [[The Game]] to its players along with the session's [[Laivan Ferroo|Space player]].

They were the fourth player to enter the game.

== Etymology ==
The word murrit, when translated from Basque, means 'die'. This may be a reference to his aspect, which is often associated with death. "Turkin" could be a reference to [[wikipedia:Valentin Turkin|Valentin Turkin (1887-1958)]], a Russian screenwriter and critic. This can be loosely related to Murrit's interests in pop culture and recording her friends' lives to make wacky compilation movies.

== Biography ==

=== Six Sweeps ===
In their youth, Murrit was a salesman who sold pieces of the [[Frog Temple]] near his [[Murrit's hive|hive]] for profit. Upon making a deal with [[White Noise]] to rebuild the temple and notify her group of friends after he finished, they were awakened on the moon of [[Derse]] where he was apprehended by a group of con men known as [[Dead Shufflers|The Dead Shufflers]] and held hostage against the [[Black Queen]]. The game's Jack Noir, known as [[Scathing Sharper]], took a liking to Murrit rather quickly and as such acted as a sort of mentor to her, teaching them how they operated and turning them into a feared member of their gang, and in his waking life, a feared member of the remaining sea troll hierarchy.

Some time afterward, Murrit sold the Shufflers out into servitude or hiding and completely changed his personality in some capacity before the events of the story began.
===Pre-Game===
On the night of the game Murrit spends most of his time organizing and pushing people to go along with his plans, as well as playing [[Anthropormuncipality]] with [[Laivan Ferroo|a friend]]. They are first seen speaking with [[Tazsia|Taz]], trying to get her to listen to them about what's been set in motion. After Taz leaves the conversation and attempts to ignore what he said, Murrit messages Dismas and tells him to go outside. After a bit of an argument, Dismas begrudgingly asks Murrit to restate their past: their history as a small game peddler of pieces of the Frog Temple, to the deal with White Noise, and then their recruitment into the folds of the Dead Shufflers. Dismas emerges from his hive and comes face to face with a Boobdrone, a breast-shaped robot short for "Based Occulatory Operating Buddy Drone"{{VE|266}}. Murrit attempts to make an unimpressed Dismas give him a high-four, then a fistbump, then a pinkie swear, to which Dismas retaliates with a middle finger. Murrit responds with a slap in the face, then tells Dismas to look up to see a giant meteor hurtling towards Repiton. After a moment of shock from Dismas, Murrit tells him to look up again to see his [[Lusus#Skulltitan lusus|lusus]], a giant Skulltitan, preparing to strike at Dismas with an atomic blast. He equips his strife specibus, [[2xdaggerkind]], and prepares to battle his guardian as Murrit records on the Boobdrone. Murrit checks on a certain [[Occeus Coliad|blue guy]] on her cameras before switching back to Skorpe, then checks out a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube colorful cube] before being messaged about the game by [[Laivan Ferroo|Blue Dog]] and [[Calder Kerian|grandioseSaturation]], whom which he has a dry and antagonistic conversation with.

Murrit is then seen standing in front of his "hentai dungeon" after navigating through many self-constructed booby traps, aka the reconstructed Frog Temple which he immediately desecrated with the aforementioned pornography. Murrit examines the [[Narayan Code|runes]] carved into the walls of the temple, and then a giant closed flower pod on a pedestal. Being a bit too early for the big reveal, Murrit fetches their Doncamaticomp from their [[Sylladex#Surveillance|fetch modus]], answering a message from Laivan about the current state of preparation for the game. Murrit promises to play a game of Anthropormuncipality with Laivan and the countdown on the flower pod's pedestal ends. The flower opens and lets out a bright beam of light that splits into twelve, installing The Game on the main cast's computers.

Murrit is knocked onto his ass by the blossom and immediately messaged by Taz, angry at the game window currently taking up her screen and leaving her computer to do anything else but use Skorpe, having come to the conclusion that Murrit had something to do with it. Murrit, annoyed at Taz's refusal to listen, simply tells her to figure it out and ends the conversation.

Not soon after, Murrit sends a mass memo to the main cast (with the exception of [[Ellsee Raines|a troll he didn't deem important enough to receive the information]]) informing them of the nature of The Game. They receive a message from who they think to be Arcjec, though it's revealed to be [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] messaging her through Arcjec's Skorpe account, demanding to know what was going on and why she was excluded. Murrit promptly tells her to go fuck herself, dropping his quirk. Murrit sharply tells her to stay away away from the rest of the cast and the game if she actually cares about any of them before ceasing to message a confused and peeved Ellsee.

During [S] Arcjec: Enter, Murrit is shown playing aforementioned rounds of Anthropormuncipality with Laivan as promised.

Murrit was included in Ellsee's memo, but immediately withdrew from it.

After the memo, Laivan messages Murrit asking if she's ready to play and why she left. Murrit tells him to just trust them and asks if Laivan's ready back.

The scene switches to Boobdrone harassing Dismas, half submerged in a stream, with its auto chatter function. After a nasty altercation with his lusus, Dismas comes out alive but with a broken arm and generally heavily injured. He is once again approached by the Boobdrone, now being piloted by Murrit. Dismas tells Murrit that he's officially out of commission on the count of his broken arm, which his healing factor can't immediately fix like the rest of him. Dismas calls Murrit out for nearly getting him killed for his sick little videos, complaining about their (recently exacerbated) tendency to act oblivious to the consequences of their actions. Murrit asks if he wants an apology, catching Dismas off guard, but he states that he knows better than to expect more from the seadweller. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move, he brings Dismas' moirail into a [[Skorpe]] call, [[Jentha Briati]]. An upset and frantic Jentha asks Murrit about Dismas' wellbeing, as Murrit had told her that he had been killed to get her to join said call. Dismas comforts Jentha and she tries to get a better understanding of the situation, as Murrit had failed to explain anything clearly to her, as usual.

Murrit states she's ready for Dismas to act as his server player for the game. Dismas and Jentha tells Murrit to fuck off on the count of Dismas' condition and Murrit being entirely at fault for it. Murrit tells them she's hatched a plan to get Dismas back to his hive, as they have another Boobdrone push an ore-powered minecart onto the nearby rails.

Dismas and Jentha do not like Murrit's plan, and point out a number of its flaws. Dismas brings up [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], who had appeared to not be acting like herself and was being abnormally cryptic (unbeknownst to him, she had been possessed by her [[Ancestors|Ancestor]]), but Murrit dismisses this and states that she appears to be acting normally. Jentha points out that Dismas' [[lusus]] is likely back in Dismas' hive, but Murrit tells her that it's under control. Finally Dismas reminds Murrit that his computer has been damaged and will likely be unable to run the game properly. Murrit tells Dismas that they will just have to work as a team to get the job done. Resentful, but seeing no other options, Dismas reluctantly agrees with the plan. Dismas is lifted onto the cart by the drone, sets the carrier's speed to max and proceeds to MELT TRACK with the Boobdrone in tow.

On the sandy beach in front of her hive, Murrit's entrance into the game is put in jeopardy. Her paragon repository is trapped in a cube of ice, unable to be melted in time to release her [[Denizen]] before the meteor hits. Suddenly, the ice block and the hourglass inside it shatter, unleashing the [[Gusion|Denizen of Time]] inside. As Murrit rushes into the portal after him, [[Weird Al|two]] [[Edolon Vryche|characters]] are shown, one with [[Narayan Code|symbols]] in the color of the [[Aspect#Time|Time aspect]] on his palms.

===During the Game===
Murrit's meeting platform with their Denizen is not shown.

After his entry, Murrit is shown having an argument with [[Metatron]] regarding of the Game and White Noise on the [[Land of Wave and Record]] as his [[consorts]] watch. Murrit questions Metatron's ties to White Noise, asking if they weren't playing their part in setting up the game correctly, citing his view on killing off [[Ellsee Raines|a part of the group]] to keep the rest of them safe. Metatron replies that if they'd actually kill her, their entire session would fail, to which Murrit replies that he wasn't made aware of. Metatron presses Murrit to describe what he saw, accompanied by a flashback: Ellsee preforming a ritual gone wrong, and a warning to fear what was coming, shown in [S] WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM.

=== Post EOA2 ===
In the reopened memo, Murrit ignores multiple tags from [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] only to respond at the last minute with deflective bullshit, then banning themself from the memo to avoid further questioning. She's then shown bringing several personal items onto her planet via Boobdrones (and thus instantly breaking Arcjec's rule to only go back to Repiton if necessary) while having a conversation with [[Tee Hanos]], one of his [[Planets|planet]]'s [[consorts]]. Tee Hanos reveals Murrit's responsibility of the ruination of the [[Land of Wave and Record]], giving a warning that if they didn't undo the damage, the platypus consorts would have his head.

==Personality and Traits==
Murrit is a troll with a complex and overly esoteric personality, being generally hard to decipher due to his penchant for misdirecting and confusing people on purpose. He presents an over-the-top front of being a skeevy and perverted troll with a love of all forms of debauchery. She deliberately speaks in a way that is annoying, slang-filled and inconsistent that often leaves the people he interacts with confused and frustrated. Not much is known about their actual personality, to the point that Murrit themself may not be sure of their true interests and demeanor. However, he has been shown to be serious and aggressive when provoked by someone who he thinks is a threat.

Murrit has little to no interest in the hierarchy of blood-castes and sea-dweller nobility. She finds both concepts completely irrelevant and outdated on a dying planet with a critically endangered sea-dweller population (to the frustration of a [[Calder Kerian|certain other magenta-blooded troll]]). True to this disdain for the pecking order, Murrit tries to (mis)treat everyone equally, rarely giving anyone any special treatment.

Among Murrit's interests are collecting ancient media (but especially televisions and video tapes), spying on his friends and collecting video footage of their mistakes so that he can make wacky videos, playing [[Anthropormuncipality]] with Laivan, robotics, antagonizing/helping Dismas, and pretending to be into hentai.

Murrit seems to be proficient in using a [[wikipedia:Novation Digital Music Systems|launchpad]], though theirs is just loaded with a bunch of weird sound effects, including one of just a scream that he listens to for minutes at a time.

In the past, Murrit had behaved more in-line with the supposed standards of his blood caste, but has since abandoned that version of themself.

==Relationships==

===Dismas Mersiv===
Murrit and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] have been in a [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismesissitude]] for at least around two sweeps, and share the standard, mutually antagonistic relationship with one another. Murrit somehow gained and still owns Dismas's soul after an online poker game{{VE|144}} and the two worked as partners in a presumably illegal capacity in the past. It is inferred that the work wasn't negotiable and a lot of murder was involved.

Murrit appears to take a tough-love stance towards Dismas, regularly helping Dismas in a roundabout, incomprehensible manner through the use of his Boobdrone and in person. Dismas generally acts like he's completely tired of Murrit's bullshit, but goes along with it anyway and does seem to be able to talk to him without resorting to usual rival-istic behavior. Murrit has been shown to be physically aggressive with Dismas at least through the use of Boobdrone, but this may be a form of hate-flirting or a one time action on her part.

Murrit has also been confirmed to have a flushed crush on Dismas<ref>[http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/178239638154/hey-there-just-wanted-to-say-that-i-really]</ref>, however, due to the gravity of this fact and her fear of ruining their relationship due to Repiton's romantic social and cultural norms, Murrit keeps it a secret.

===Jentha Briati ===
Like most people, [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] finds Murrit to be obnoxious and annoying, but is further made more uncomfortable by their demeanor due to her anxiety issues and panic attacks. [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] seems to be forceful and willing to put her foot down when interacting with Murrit on the behalf of her moirail, and outright insults and calls out the seadweller when he's acting especially terrible, a possible result of [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas']] influence. Despite this, she doesn't seem to hate Murrit by any means and just seems to think of her as a 'stupidhead'.

=== Laivan Ferroo===
[[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] is one of Murrit's closest friends, with the two sharing a passion for Anthropormuncipality and a destiny in leading everyone to play the game they recovered from the Frog Temple. Laivan is one of the few trolls who isn't put off by Murrit's bizarre quirks and even jokingly calls them out on it. Murrit is often more honest around Laivan in turn and does not seem to harass him as harshly as some others, even though he isn't free from it either.

===Tazsia Poemme===
[[Tazsia Poemme|Taz]] is one of the few trolls to not be immediately put off by Murrit's scummy, perverted façade, to the point that she's actually somewhat fond of the sea-dweller. Despite this, Taz will not put up with any of Murrit's bullshit and is ready to drop her ass whenever he's not being helpful. Murrit on the other hand enjoys toying with Taz and her temper, but does try his best to actually be useful to her once in a while as well. Though they also have their tipping point and have left Taz on her ass just as badly as she has done to him.

This nicer relationship is however, undercut by his constant mention and nicknaming of Taz's breasts in their conversations -- something that Taz surprisingly doesn't seem to get onto him about as much as you'd think she would.

===Ellsee Raines ===
Due to Murrit's viewing of an occult ritual to contact her parents, Murrit greatly dislikes [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]], and distrusts her even more so, to the point that Murrit actively tries to keep Ellsee out of the game and threatens her. [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] is the only troll who Murrit has referred to by name, rather than a double entendre-rifled, reference-heavy, or insulting nickname.

===Calder Kerian===
Murrit does not like [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] at all. Murrit makes a huge point of annoying or ignoring Calder whenever possible, even basing their "love" and persistence of enjoying hentai to mock his male-centric ideals and hoity toity attitude. Conversely, Calder is frustrated with Murrit's refusal to behave like a proper sea dweller, and regularly tries to boss Murrit around, even though he at one point deeply respected him.

=== Arcjec Voorat ===
[[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] generally dislikes interacting with Murrit, but appears to trust her regardless, believing him to not be a liar, at least in regards to The Game. Murrit is apparently fond of Arcjec, finding him to be fun and easy to provoke. Arcjec thinks Murrit is generally very bad at explaining things.

=== White Noise===
Murrit met [[White Noise]] at least two sweeps prior to the events of the Game. White Noise had approached the destined Time player in her dreams and gave her the choice of whether to pursue his destiny or not, clearly outlining the conditions of such a contact would require of Murrit and what it would give Murrit in return. Murrit having been an accomplished gambler and con-man at the time could quickly tell that White Noise was no swindler and was not one to be swindled either. Interested in the prospect of finding their ideal self, Murrit accepted and has worked in tandem with [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] to fulfill his end of the bargain with White Noise ever since. As part of their deal, Murrit's [[Dream Self]] awoke on [[Derse]], and they've dreamed on Derse ever since.

=== The Dead Shufflers===
Murrit was once a member of the [[Dead Shufflers]]. After she awoke on Derse, his [[Dreamself]] was kidnapped by the group in hopes of using him as leverage against the Dersite royalty. However, when their leader, the [[Scathing Sharper]] took a liking to the young Murrit, he invited the seadweller into their fold. Murrit was a natural fit for the cut throat group, and began taking on their activities in his real life as well. However, Murrit eventually lost interest in that kind of life, and sold the group out. She hasn't looked back since.

==Trivia==

*Murrit's Skorpe handle, {{VE Quote|murrit|unclaspedKahuna}}, is a blatant reference to his played up obsession with breasts. 'unclasped' means something 'revealed' or 'undressed'; 'kahuna' is a euphemism for breasts. The Hawaiian word also ties into their "tropical" design.
*His drones known as Boobdrones, are short for: Based Occulatory Operating Buddy Drone. They also all have functions that, when set on auto-pilot, do different things. The one that Murrit sent out to Dismas in [[Vast Error: Act 1|Act 1]] says random factoids about female troll chests.
*Murrit has never used the same nickname for a character twice.
*Murrit switches what pair of shutter shades they wear every wice per half a sweep.
**She has 52 varying pairs, which is more than likely to represent how many wices there are per half-sweep. Though it could also be a reference to how many cards there are in a full deck.
*Murrit is a huge fan of Repitonian pop-culture, from various eras of the planet's long history. Aspects of his character and hive contain numerous references to various Repitonian media (actually just Repitonian versions of a number of Earth media from the 80s and 90s).
**In her introduction, the televisions not on static play tapes of [[wikipedia:Pulp Fiction|''Pulp Fiction'']], [[wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'']], [[wikipedia:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']], [[wikipedia:ALF (TV series)|''ALF'']] and [[wikipedia:The End of Evangelion|''End of Evangelion'']].
**Murrit seems to be frequently associated with the virtual band ''[[wikipedia:Gorillaz|''Gorillaz'']].'' Her hive is reminiscent of and likely based on the futuristic island house on the cover of [[wikipedia:Plastic Beach|Plastic Beach]], while her computer, called the Doncamaticomp, is a reference to the instrument and title of their single [[wikipedia:Doncamatic|Doncamatic]]''.''
**He has been shown to be a fan of the Repitonian version of [[wikipedia:Danganronpa|''Dangan Ronpa'']]. It is unknown whether this is a legitimate interest of theirs or not.
**Murrit seems to have a distaste for newer episodes of the Repitonian version of [[wikipedia:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']], which has been running for hundreds if not thousands of sweeps on [[Repiton]]{{VE|150}}.
*Murrit is a Violetblood, a Derse dreamer, and a Hero of Time, meaning on Alternia his sign would be [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Aquaries Aquaries, Sign of the Heroic.].
*Murrit appears in {{MSPA Wiki|Hiveswap Friendship Simulator: Volume Seventeen|''Hiveswap Friendship Simulator'': Volume Seventeen}} in the one of the backgrounds of {{MSPA Wiki|Nihkee Moolah's}} route.
* Murrit considers [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] to be "one of the only great things his life has ever given him"<ref>"one of the only great things his life has ever given him" [http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/178239638154/hey-there-just-wanted-to-say-that-i-really]</ref>
* Murrit runs a [[Filler]] account under the username {{color|murrit|smurt}}.
**Almost half of Repiton's population follows them.

Sova Amalie

2021-10-13T18:40:46Z

Anndec: /* Etymology */ changed "Serbocroatian, Czech, Slovene, and Slovak" to "many slavic languages" as those aren't the only ones

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Sova Amalie}}
{{/Infobox}}

'''Sova Amalie''' (short for Sovara), also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Silver and she is a deconstruction of the "tragic victim" fantroll archetype.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@VastError|link=https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref>

She was the eleventh troll introduced and the eighth troll to enter the game.

==Etymology==
"Sova" means "owl" in many Slavic languages, matching Sova's lusus and frequent bird motifs. The full name Sovara may come from the Greek word ''σοβαρά'' (sovará), meaning "seriously". "Amalie" resembles ''Amélie'', a French given name meaning "work", and may also be a reference to the film and musical ''Amélie'', a story about a young girl who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation.

==Biography==

===Early life===
According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after school "caged" in a manner she doesn't like to talk about. She later escaped her captivity, and with the help of [[Laivan Ferroo]] and [[Serpaz Helilo]], made herself a new home in a secluded cabin out in the woods.

===Act 1===
Sova sends concerned messages to [[Albion Shukra|her matesprit]] over the course of the entry night, which Albion reads after her fateful revelation from the Star Guardian but does not reply to.

===Act 2===
Sova first speaks in Act 2 when she responds to [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]'s memo, {{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}, offering to help decipher the information contained in her ancestral tome. In this same memo, she also catches up with Laivan and Serpaz.

Later, Albion messages her to apologize for not responding to her earlier messages. As she shares her worries, Sova reassures Albion that she can't bring herself to be mad at her. Sova then tells Albion that she loves her, and that {{VE Quote|sova|that is all that matters}}. Albion agrees with her.

After {{VE|641|2=[S] Engage.}} we are shown Sova's formal introduction page. She receives a message from an enthusiastic Serpaz, who's happy that the two of them will be spending time together because of the Game. As they chat, Serpaz calls Sova {{VE Quote|serpaz|a total angel!!!}}, a term which triggers Sova's memories of [[Dexous]], her former "caretaker". Serpaz urges her to let the past go, but fails to properly assuage Sova's distress.

In need of a distraction, Sova decides to read the latest scroll Albion has translated for her: a recounting penned by [[Ikamai Amalie|The Annalist]] of a parable told to her by [[Zekura Raines|The Vivifier]]. Before Sova can finish her reading, however, she is interrupted by a loud rumble coming from outside her hive. Thinking it might be her lusus, Cooperi, she decides to investigate, but is met with a dark, wispy creature standing by her window instead.

She goes inside her sanitization block to hide, checking Ellsee's second memo and asking the others about the strange monsters lurking outside, though she is interrupted by a message from [[Occeus Coliad]] before she can get very far. They have a brief chat and he advises her to "clear her sight" and ignore the creatures, as they {{VE Quote|occeus|thrive .o.n y.o.ur attenti.o.n}}.

She is contacted by [[Edolon Vryche]] shortly after he restrains Serpaz in order to expedite her entry process, though not much of their conversation is shown. Later, Sova is seen talking to an anxious [[Jentha Briati]] as Cooperi fends off the Abyss creatures, while they try to work through her entry process.

Sova successfully enters [[the Medium]] during {{VE|1000|2=[S] Ellsee: Enter.}} Her talk with her denizen is not shown.

===Act 3 Act 1===
The act opens with a dream sequence, as Sova navigates a nightmarish space that leads toward a huge steel birdcage. She is jolted awake by a series of [[Gaiaeon|ominous whispers]], having gone back to her hive after speaking to her [[Jegudial|denizen]]. Sova then travels back to the Medium, where her planet, the [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], is revealed.

[[Metatron]] is there to greet her, and they discuss the game, Sova's potential journey through it and Jegudial, her denizen. After some prompting from Metatron, Sova agrees to show him some of her writing, an in-progress script of a play called ''[[Upon the Twelfth Hour]]''. As she wraps up the reading, a skorpe notification pops up, letting her know that [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] created a new memo. She catches up with the other players, as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far.

==Personality and Traits==
Compassionate and forgiving, Sova is an avid reader and history buff who always tries to see the best in people, being quite fond of musical theater and stage plays. She dabbles in playwriting herself, holding a deep passion for the craft but being too self-conscious to share her work with her friends.

Due to a sheltered upbringing, she considers herself socially hindered, having not had extensive interactions with other trolls for most of her youth and often misusing common turns of phrase. Sova is also "a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself."<ref>{{citeSocial|tumblr|whosaid=@VastError|url=http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/176074032714/you-should-give-us-a-little-insight-into-the-least}}</ref>

It has been implied that Sova deals with PTSD due to her difficult past with Dexous.

==Relationships==

===Albion Shukra===
[[File:Sova_worrying.gif|thumb|Sova worrying about Albion.|220x220px]]
Sova is in a flushed relationship with [[Albion Shukra]], having shown deep worry and care about her well-being. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova inherited from her Ancestor, and is mentioned to have helped Sova with her adjustment period after she escaped from Dexous. Sova seems to regard Albion with an almost awe-struck admiration, which can lead to her brushing aside some of her matesprit's more negative traits.

It has been confirmed that the two are not bonded, as they are still a relatively new relationship.<ref>{{CiteVE|pagenumber=652|quote=(and before you ask the second big question that i know is on your mind, no, we have not fully committed to our quadrant as of yet)|whosaid=sova}}</ref>

===Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo===
Sova is good friends with both [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and the couple seems to be somewhat protective of her. They were the ones who helped Sova obtain her current belongings and residence. There is a framed picture of the three of them together inside Sova's [[Sova's hive|hive]].

Between the two, Serpaz appears to be slightly closer to Sova, likely due to her outgoing and jovial personality compared to Laivan's more laidback and quiet nature. While well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to the off-beat way she tends to deal with her own sadness and pain.

===Occeus Coliad===
Sova seems to be on good terms with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], the pair treating each other with mutual consideration of their respective boundaries. He is shown messaging her in hopes that she can listen to his woes, but is understanding when Sova states that she can't handle offering advice at that moment in time.

===Dexous===
[[File:00657.gif|alt=|thumb|220x220px|Sova in Dexous' captivity.]]
Sova has a difficult past with [[Dexous]]. It is implied that Dexous forced Sova to sing for him and an audience, eventually causing her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder. Reminders of Dexous, such as the word "angel", can trigger Sova, leading her to emotionally withdraw and experience flashbacks.

===Jentha Briati===
[[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] is Sova's server player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as {{VE Quote|jentha|the one who c cares so much about e everyone}}.

==Trivia==

*Sova's chat handle, {{VE Quote|sovara|sanguineAllegory}}, means "red story", with sanguine meaning "blood red" and an allegory being "a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one".
*Sova and [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] are the only two members of the main cast who enjoy pineapple on pizza.<ref>{{CiteSocial|platform=tumblr|whosaid=@VastError|link=http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/176072626039/heres-some-real-discourse-which-of-the-ve-cast}}</ref>
*Being a Derse dreamer, a redblood and a Hero of Heart, Sova's would-be extended zodiac sign is [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Aro Aro, Sign of the Lost.]
*Albion and Sova run a joint Filler account under the username blissfullyharmonic.
**They sign off their posts as *mod*starshine* and (MOD CHORINE), respectively.

Occeus Coliad

2021-10-13T18:38:09Z

Anndec: /* During the Game */ fixed link formatting

{{/Infobox}}
'''Occeus Coliad''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|occeus|macabreExude}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemical sigil is Sulfur and his horns are in the shape of small crowns.

Occeus is based upon the 'Mad Scientist' archetype,<ref>{{CiteSocial|tumblr|whosaid=vasterror|link=https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref> despite not seeming to truly fit the label. He has many references to 'Frankenstein' based on his character, the obvious example being the naming of his assistant, [[Rogi]]. Which is simply 'Igor', the assistant to Victor Frankenstein, spelled backwards.

His visor is made specifically to cover up his third eye that formed after a major traumatic incident in his past. This third eye allows him to momentarily see into alternate dimensions, seeing vague figures and apparitions out of his peripheral vision. He sees more when he makes a conscious effort to contact the dimensions directly. He can also constantly hear the low buzzing of [[The Static|static]] in the back of his mind, but it doesn't bother him so long as he doesn't think about it.

He was the eighth troll introduced and the second troll introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. He was also the tenth troll to enter the game.

Occeus also stars in his own route in ''[[Snowbound Blood]]'', being the only troll of the main 12 to be featured in the [[Trollodex]].

== Etymology ==
Occeus likely comes from Oculus, the Latin word for eye, befitting of his mutation.

Coliad likely comes from Coliadinae, a subfamily of butterflies also known as sulphurs, which matches his alchemical sigil.

== Biography ==

=== Pre-game ===
Not much is currently known about Occeus before the story begins. However, it has been said in his intro page that he got his Transmuted Epiphysis Cerebri (Third Eye) from a major traumatic event that happened when Occeus was 7 sweeps old.

Occeus is first seen finally contacting [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] after she messaged him many days prior. The two discuss the implications of a possible breakthrough in is work, while Occeus apologizes for not giving Ellsee enough attention. Ellsee voices her support in Occeus's scientific pursuits while Occeus emphasizes the importance of the work he does and that the time he spends away from her will have been for the greater good as he plans reinvigorate their world. This conversation would leave Ellsee feeling needy and unlikable.

Occeus is next seen performing a revitalization experiment on a [[Minor Characters#Lipsen Fluxum|deceased troll]], which results in a partial success—the experiment revitalized him but the troll remains unintelligent and aggressive. This forces Occeus solemnly to eliminate the troll and mark the current experiment as a failure. He takes a moment to check his computer once again while Rogi disposes of the corpse. He finds a series of messages from a distressed Ellsee. Occeus attempts to comfort Ellsee as she details what she had just gone through earlier in the story.

After Occeus had messaged her, Ellsee had gone to attempt meeting up with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]], only to see a meteor hurtling towards his hive. She had apparently found the hive in shambles and on fire, yet not completely destroyed from the meteor, with Arcjec mysteriously absent from the building. In searching for Arcjec, Ellsee had found a mass memo sent out by [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] pertaining to a mysterious reality-bending game that everyone was involved in (but Murrit had intentionally excluded Ellsee for reasons unknown). Ellsee had then returned to her hive and reached out to Occeus to inform him of the memo as well, knowing that he probably hasn't seen it.

Occeus reads the mass memo that Murrit had written after doubting its contents and is distressed at the absurdity, yet possible reality of the situation presented by [[The Game]]. It necessitating their leaving of [[Repiton]] would end up making his efforts to save it completely irrelevant. Having learned that he's meant to work with [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] in the game along with this, an outraged Occeus messages the sea dweller. Calder tersely tells Occeus that he's no more involved in the situation than Occeus is, and that they are both powerless to do anything but go along with it. Calder tells Occeus that he will message him again when it's their turn to enter the game even though he too is less than happy with that arrangement, and ceases messaging a fuming Occeus.

Occeus is included in Ellsee's memo, but does not respond to it.

He was later seen after he contacts Jentha, who asks an advice from her as a transmission coming from [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]] suddenly pops up. Occeus engages in a tense conversation with her as Hamifi reminds him that his recent experiments had been dropping for the past few months and if those failures continue, Corporate have no choice but to drop it and give him his payroll.

As the transmission ends, he messages Jentha again telling her that he may have finally reach in his lowest point.

Occeus is included in another memo, this time it's made by Arcjec, but doesn't respond to it.

He was later seen slumped down on his supercomputer as he deals with the buzzing in the back of his mind as the Game's cursor, controlled by Calder, drags him out of his laboratory until they reached the front door as Occeus' lusus attacks the incoming creatures.

=== During the Game ===
In {{VE|1000|[S<nowiki>]</nowiki> Ellsee: Enter.}}, Occeus was seen outside of his hive as his lusus devours the deceased creatures as the buzzing repeats and saw his personal codes. He then summons out his strife specibus, [[Laserkind]], and slices the cross with a Blood symbol engraved on its chest, landing on top of the hive. The portal activates as the cursor drags him inside, along with his assistant.

Neither his land or denizen meeting platform are shown.

== Personality and traits ==
As a scientist and engineer, Occeus is characterized by his empirical outlook on life and how it works. He is ambitious, yet detached, and fiercely dedicated to his work.

He works towards the continued survival of his decaying planet and towards undoing the parasitic undead plague that ravages its population in the hope that he can return souls from a supposed entropy, and find the secret of untethered immortality.

== Relationships ==
=== Rogi ===
[[Rogi]] is Occeus' assistant in his scientific pursuits. The creature was the result of one of Occeus' failed experiments, and is consequently unintelligent and largely useless as a result. However, Occeus doesn't seem to mind so much, and keeps the creature around to help with the grizzlier, more menial parts of his experiments, or perhaps because he appreciates the creature's company.

Due to the unnatural circumstances of Rogi's existence, Rogi's body is unable to maintain itself and requires regular injection of lime blood to continue existing.

=== Ellsee Raines ===
[[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] and Occeus are [[Quadrants|matesprits]], and unique to the other relationships in the cast aside from [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]], have been sexually intimate with one another.

Due to Occeus' workaholic nature and his desperation to preserve his planet, Occeus is unfortunately rather neglectful of Ellsee, leaving her to suffer from symptoms not unlike withdrawal in his absence (as is the case for Repitonian trolls who have been intimate with another and do not see each other for extended periods of time). Occeus regrets this, and realizes that Ellsee deserves better, but will nonetheless prioritize his work over her.

Ellsee often volunteers the use of her lime blood for Occeus to use in his biological experiments, due to the blood's unique life-bearing properties. Occeus is the only troll that Ellsee trusts with her blood.

He is incredibly protective of Ellsee, as evidenced in his ''Snowbound Blood'' route when he tells Secily {{VE Quote|occeus|Then eye will either kill f.o.r her .o.r die f.o.r her right t.o. be free}} when Secily confronts him about the vials of blood.

=== Calder Kerian ===
It has been shown that Occeus and [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] had a -- now-ended—pale relationship with one another. From Calder's account, it appears that Occeus abruptly ended their relationship and has been distant from Calder for some time. Calder is visibly bitter about it.

=== Taz Poemme ===
[[Tazsia|Taz]] occasionally fluctuates into the ashen quadrant with Occeus, with [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] acting as mediator. This would indicate some enmity between the two. The two appear to have been involved in a now-ended black relationship with one another.

=== Albion Shukra ===
Due to the likely tumultuous relationship between Taz and Occeus, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] is often pulled to act as mediator when they enter the ashen quadrant part-time. It is unknown what Albion and Occeus' personal relationship is like, as they have yet to interact in-comic.

=== Jentha Briati ===
Occeus seems to trust [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] and believe she is a friend or at least good acquaintance. He ends up believing she's helped him before and that she would be willing to make time for him. In reality, Jentha doesn't seem to like Occeus and is intentionally cruel to him (telling him to jump off a cliff and that she doesn't care that he needs her aid).

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
[[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Occeus are work colleagues; Laivan stitches up corpses that Occeus finds for the sake of his revitalization experiments.

== Trivia ==
* 'macabre' in his trolltag is a reference to his interest in most things relating to death, such as his reanimation experiments, his study of parasites, and his ultimate goal of trying to 'reanimate' the planet. 'Exude' could be a reference to his normal methods of injecting lime blood into corpses, due to its meaning of a slow and steady discharge. Altogether, the tag can refer to his disturbing presence as a whole.
* The '.o.' shape replacing any 'o's in his text is a reference to his three-eyed state, with the two periods being his regular eyes and the 'o' representing his third eye. This places more emphasis on his third eye as opposed to his two regular eyes which could be a way of showing how Occeus is neglecting the mundane things around him in favor of pursuing mysteries and his work. This neglect is clearly shown in Ellsee's state of withdrawal without his presence, as per their coupling.
* The pupil of his Third Eye bears a striking resemblance to that of [[Gaiaeon]]. It is unknown what exactly this means or if they share any sort of connection.
** This is in contrast to Ellsee's left eye, which looks like [[Kheparia|Kheparia's]].
* Occeus constantly dealing with buzzing in the back of his mind, which he can tune out if he doesn't think about it, could potentially be a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's ''[[wikipedia:The Tell-Tale Heart|The Tell-Tale Heart]]''.
* Occeus is a Prospit Dreamer, an Indigoblood and a Hero of Blood, meaning his extended zodiac sign would be: [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Sagicer Sagicer, Sign of the Hostess.]
* Occeus is the only one of the main 12 who doesn't have a Filler account.

He sees more when he makes a conscious effort to contact the dimensions directly. He can also constantly hear the low buzzing of [[The Static|static]] in the back of his mind, but it doesn't bother him so long as he doesn't think about it.

He was the eighth troll introduced and the second troll introduced in [[Vast Error: Act 2|Act 2]]. He was also the tenth troll to enter the game.

Occeus also stars in his own route in ''[[Snowbound Blood]]'', being the only troll of the main 12 to be featured in the [[Trollodex]].

== Etymology ==
Occeus likely comes from Oculus, the Latin word for eye, befitting of his mutation.

Coliad likely comes from Coliadinae, a subfamily of butterflies also known as sulphurs, which matches his alchemical sigil.

== Biography ==

=== Pre-game ===
Not much is currently known about Occeus before the story begins. However, it has been said in his intro page that he got his Transmuted Epiphysis Cerebri (Third Eye) from a major traumatic event that happened when Occeus was 7 sweeps old.

Occeus is first seen finally contacting [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] after she messaged him many days prior. The two discuss the implications of a possible breakthrough in is work, while Occeus apologizes for not giving Ellsee enough attention. Ellsee voices her support in Occeus's scientific pursuits while Occeus emphasizes the importance of the work he does and that the time he spends away from her will have been for the greater good as he plans reinvigorate their world. This conversation would leave Ellsee feeling needy and unlikable.

Occeus is next seen performing a revitalization experiment on a [[Minor Characters#Lipsen Fluxum|deceased troll]], which results in a partial success—the experiment revitalized him but the troll remains unintelligent and aggressive. This forces Occeus solemnly to eliminate the troll and mark the current experiment as a failure. He takes a moment to check his computer once again while Rogi disposes of the corpse. He finds a series of messages from a distressed Ellsee. Occeus attempts to comfort Ellsee as she details what she had just gone through earlier in the story.

After Occeus had messaged her, Ellsee had gone to attempt meeting up with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]], only to see a meteor hurtling towards his hive. She had apparently found the hive in shambles and on fire, yet not completely destroyed from the meteor, with Arcjec mysteriously absent from the building. In searching for Arcjec, Ellsee had found a mass memo sent out by [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] pertaining to a mysterious reality-bending game that everyone was involved in (but Murrit had intentionally excluded Ellsee for reasons unknown). Ellsee had then returned to her hive and reached out to Occeus to inform him of the memo as well, knowing that he probably hasn't seen it.

Occeus reads the mass memo that Murrit had written after doubting its contents and is distressed at the absurdity, yet possible reality of the situation presented by [[The Game]]. It necessitating their leaving of [[Repiton]] would end up making his efforts to save it completely irrelevant. Having learned that he's meant to work with [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] in the game along with this, an outraged Occeus messages the sea dweller. Calder tersely tells Occeus that he's no more involved in the situation than Occeus is, and that they are both powerless to do anything but go along with it. Calder tells Occeus that he will message him again when it's their turn to enter the game even though he too is less than happy with that arrangement, and ceases messaging a fuming Occeus.

Occeus is included in Ellsee's memo, but does not respond to it.

He was later seen after he contacts Jentha, who asks an advice from her as a transmission coming from [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]] suddenly pops up. Occeus engages in a tense conversation with her as Hamifi reminds him that his recent experiments had been dropping for the past few months and if those failures continue, Corporate have no choice but to drop it and give him his payroll.

As the transmission ends, he messages Jentha again telling her that he may have finally reach in his lowest point.

Occeus is included in another memo, this time it's made by Arcjec, but doesn't respond to it.

He was later seen slumped down on his supercomputer as he deals with the buzzing in the back of his mind as the Game's cursor, controlled by Calder, drags him out of his laboratory until they reached the front door as Occeus' lusus attacks the incoming creatures.

=== During the Game ===
In [https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/1000 [S<nowiki>]</nowiki> Ellsee: Enter.], Occeus was seen outside of his hive as his lusus devours the deceased creatures as the buzzing repeats and saw his personal codes. He then summons out his strife specibus, [[Laserkind]], and slices the cross with a Blood symbol engraved on its chest, landing on top of the hive. The portal activates as the cursor drags him inside, along with his assistant.

Neither his land or denizen meeting platform are shown.

== Personality and traits ==
As a scientist and engineer, Occeus is characterized by his empirical outlook on life and how it works. He is ambitious, yet detached, and fiercely dedicated to his work.

He works towards the continued survival of his decaying planet and towards undoing the parasitic undead plague that ravages its population in the hope that he can return souls from a supposed entropy, and find the secret of untethered immortality.

== Relationships ==
=== Rogi ===
[[Rogi]] is Occeus' assistant in his scientific pursuits. The creature was the result of one of Occeus' failed experiments, and is consequently unintelligent and largely useless as a result. However, Occeus doesn't seem to mind so much, and keeps the creature around to help with the grizzlier, more menial parts of his experiments, or perhaps because he appreciates the creature's company.

Due to the unnatural circumstances of Rogi's existence, Rogi's body is unable to maintain itself and requires regular injection of lime blood to continue existing.

=== Ellsee Raines ===
[[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] and Occeus are [[Quadrants|matesprits]], and unique to the other relationships in the cast aside from [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]], have been sexually intimate with one another.

Due to Occeus' workaholic nature and his desperation to preserve his planet, Occeus is unfortunately rather neglectful of Ellsee, leaving her to suffer from symptoms not unlike withdrawal in his absence (as is the case for Repitonian trolls who have been intimate with another and do not see each other for extended periods of time). Occeus regrets this, and realizes that Ellsee deserves better, but will nonetheless prioritize his work over her.

Ellsee often volunteers the use of her lime blood for Occeus to use in his biological experiments, due to the blood's unique life-bearing properties. Occeus is the only troll that Ellsee trusts with her blood.

He is incredibly protective of Ellsee, as evidenced in his ''Snowbound Blood'' route when he tells Secily {{VE Quote|occeus|Then eye will either kill f.o.r her .o.r die f.o.r her right t.o. be free}} when Secily confronts him about the vials of blood.

=== Calder Kerian ===
It has been shown that Occeus and [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] had a -- now-ended—pale relationship with one another. From Calder's account, it appears that Occeus abruptly ended their relationship and has been distant from Calder for some time. Calder is visibly bitter about it.

=== Taz Poemme ===
[[Tazsia|Taz]] occasionally fluctuates into the ashen quadrant with Occeus, with [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] acting as mediator. This would indicate some enmity between the two. The two appear to have been involved in a now-ended black relationship with one another.

=== Albion Shukra ===
Due to the likely tumultuous relationship between Taz and Occeus, [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] is often pulled to act as mediator when they enter the ashen quadrant part-time. It is unknown what Albion and Occeus' personal relationship is like, as they have yet to interact in-comic.

=== Jentha Briati ===
Occeus seems to trust [[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] and believe she is a friend or at least good acquaintance. He ends up believing she's helped him before and that she would be willing to make time for him. In reality, Jentha doesn't seem to like Occeus and is intentionally cruel to him (telling him to jump off a cliff and that she doesn't care that he needs her aid).

=== Laivan Ferroo ===
[[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Occeus are work colleagues; Laivan stitches up corpses that Occeus finds for the sake of his revitalization experiments.

== Trivia ==
* 'macabre' in his trolltag is a reference to his interest in most things relating to death, such as his reanimation experiments, his study of parasites, and his ultimate goal of trying to 'reanimate' the planet. 'Exude' could be a reference to his normal methods of injecting lime blood into corpses, due to its meaning of a slow and steady discharge. Altogether, the tag can refer to his disturbing presence as a whole.
* The '.o.' shape replacing any 'o's in his text is a reference to his three-eyed state, with the two periods being his regular eyes and the 'o' representing his third eye. This places more emphasis on his third eye as opposed to his two regular eyes which could be a way of showing how Occeus is neglecting the mundane things around him in favor of pursuing mysteries and his work. This neglect is clearly shown in Ellsee's state of withdrawal without his presence, as per their coupling.
* The pupil of his Third Eye bears a striking resemblance to that of [[Gaiaeon]]. It is unknown what exactly this means or if they share any sort of connection.
** This is in contrast to Ellsee's left eye, which looks like [[Kheparia|Kheparia's]].
* Occeus constantly dealing with buzzing in the back of his mind, which he can tune out if he doesn't think about it, could potentially be a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's ''[[wikipedia:The Tell-Tale Heart|The Tell-Tale Heart]]''.
* Occeus is a Prospit Dreamer, an Indigoblood and a Hero of Blood, meaning his extended zodiac sign would be: [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Sagicer Sagicer, Sign of the Hostess.]
* Occeus is the only one of the main 12 who doesn't have a Filler account.

Occeus Coliad

Anndec: /* Biography */ merge pre-game subsections

{{/Infobox}}
'''Occeus Coliad''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|occeus|macabreExude}}, is one of the [[troll]]s in ''[[Vast Error]]''. His associated alchemical sigil is Sulfur and his horns are in the shape of small crowns.

Occeus is based upon the 'Mad Scientist' archetype,<ref>{{CiteSocial|tumblr|whosaid=vasterror|link=https://vasterror.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref> despite not seeming to truly fit the label. He has many references to 'Frankenstein' based on his character, the obvious example being the naming of his assistant, [[Rogi]]. Which is simply 'Igor', the assistant to Victor Frankenstein, spelled backwards.

His visor is made specifically to cover up his third eye that formed after a major traumatic incident in his past. This third eye allows him to momentarily see into alternate dimensions, seeing vague figures and apparitions out of his peripheral vision.

This neglect is clearly shown in Ellsee's state of withdrawal without his presence, as per their coupling.
* The pupil of his Third Eye bears a striking resemblance to that of [[Gaiaeon]]. It is unknown what exactly this means or if they share any sort of connection.
** This is in contrast to Ellsee's left eye, which looks like [[Kheparia|Kheparia's]].
* Occeus constantly dealing with buzzing in the back of his mind, which he can tune out if he doesn't think about it, could potentially be a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's ''[[wikipedia:The Tell-Tale Heart|The Tell-Tale Heart]]''.
* Occeus is a Prospit Dreamer, an Indigoblood and a Hero of Blood, meaning his extended zodiac sign would be: [http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Sagicer Sagicer, Sign of the Hostess.]
* Occeus is the only one of the main 12 who doesn't have a Filler account.

White Noise

2021-10-13T18:27:20Z

Anndec: /* Trivia */ fox skull mention

{{Incomplete}}
{{/Infobox}}
'''White Noise''', also known by his true name of '''Metatron''',''' '''is the creation of [[Kheparia]], the leader of the [[Denizen|denizens]] and the Eternal Guardian of [[Repiton]], meant to preside over the single life-bearing [[Planets|planet]] within the [[Solitary Universe|Solitary Universe's]] continuous cycle. He is the creator of [[The Game]] and houses the [[Incipisphere]] within a realm that fills all of the gaps on the outskirts of existence known as [[The Static]]. He communicates specifically with [[Murrit Turkin]] and [[Laivan Ferroo]], in order to facilitate the launch of The Game to the [[Troll|trolls]] when their planet nears its demise. He has also communicated with [[Arcjec Voorat]] within The Static during his dreams and controlled his body to move and scribble down codes, symbols, and notes during his sleep from a young age. It is implied that he has been heavily involved with the trolls [[ancestors]] and the creation of [[Hemospectrum|lime blood]]. He uses pure black text with no troll tag to speak of.

He has purposefully made himself partially omniscient and accurately narrates the events of ''[[Vast Error]] ''as they are needed to be shown to him on a television of his own creation, telling the tale in the second person and giving details on what is occurring, who the trolls are and how the story and its concepts work to an unknown audience. His false name is befitting of the void he lives within, 'White Noise' being a term used to describe static and the loud screech it makes when shown on a screen.

White Noise changes his form with the death of each planet and universe within the cycle to honor the loss of the previous species who lived with it. His current form is an anthropomorphic skeletal figure with a fox skull as a head. He wears the currently much smaller and dying Green Sun around his neck, which is the source of his power and his heart and soul.

== Biography ==

== Personality and Traits ==
White Noise can be described as polite, friendly, wise and extremely long-winded. Like [https://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Doc_Scratch a certain other immortal guardian], Noise is a gracious host who greatly enjoys conversing with visitors who he summons into his static realm. Unlike the aforementioned other immortal guardian, however, he is very personable and is not very smug, but is instead slightly overbearing and overly-talkative in conversation.

As the narrator of the story, Noise is interested in the matters of story-telling and narrative, and intentionally leaves himself and others in the dark for the sake of dramatic reveal. His manner of speaking is appropriately verbose and descriptive when narrating. He is also has an interest in the construction of jokes, and has a decent, if somewhat dry sense of humor. Noise isn't the type to go into soliloquies and analogy, preferring to be more matter-of-fact in his dictation of the events of Vast Error.

Having existed and overseen multiple instances of reality and seen the rise and fall of life and society in those instances, he is very knowledgeable about all sorts of matters regarding life on the planets he's watched over, even down to their various romance rituals, being able to explain them in great detail. Noise is very personally invested in the realities he oversees, and feels a great sense of loss whenever one fails to bare fruit and is forced into non-existence. This is indicated by how he holds onto the remains of those realities and he takes on new forms as a means of remembrance of those failed realities.

As an Eternal Guardian, and the creation of [[Kheparia]], White Noise's main motivation is to resurrect her so she can defeat her nemesis and equal opposite, [[Gaiaeon]]. He primarily works with the trolls for this one goal, as their success and their nature as aspect holders is imperative for resurrecting Kheparia and perpetuating existence. He has a lot of faith in the trolls and wholeheartedly believes in their potential, even though they are destined to fail at the goal presented by [[The Game]].

Husske Mayzee

2021-08-23T17:50:55Z

Anndec: added references & info about quirk alluding to Void aspect

{{Incomplete}}
{{/Infobox}}

'''Husske Mayzee''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Their associated alchemic sigil is Arsenic.

In [https://twitter.com/SyndicationVE/status/1098824710152835072 Husske's trollodex entry], their bullet points are listed as:
* child of the corn
* [https://twitter.com/peepeeplayhouse/status/1042290672621936642?lang=en just a little preacher. that is all. they cannot change this.]
* wind between cornstalks sounds a lot like static

== Etymology ==
Husske comes from "husk", as in "husks of corn". Similarly, Mayzee could come from either "maze" as in "corn maze", or "maize", another word for corn itself.

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
After finishing schooling and receiving their corporate weapon (possibly a pickaxe<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=3|quote=Pickaxe in hand, they bar the entryway with both arms stretched as wide as they can go, which is admittedly not very far.}}</ref>), Husske fled [[Stronghold 21]] into the [[Eidolic Acres]] with several other young trolls. They live on a farm, and their main source of food appears to be corn, along with goods exchanged for corn through a truck delivery that comes once a wice.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=3|quote=HUSSKE: every wice. when the trucks cøme. we strike a deal.|whosaid=Husske}}</ref>
=== Snowbound Blood Vol 3 ===
{{empty}}
=== Vast Error Post-End of Act 2 ===
{{empty}}

== Personality and Traits ==
Husske appears to come off cryptic and at points unreadable to Secily, but it eventually turns out they are no more than a very intelligent child (if not a bit defensive of those they care for.)

Husske is very wary of the cornfields and, upon meeting Secily, realizes that she can also hear {{VE Quote|Husske|the vøice. in the field. that calls withøut wørds. that whispers. in the spaces between.}}

They are the leader of their small [[Kheparia]] cult, believing that one day [[Arcjec Voorat|a prophet]] will appear to save their world from its destruction. When brought up, Husske will go on an almost sermon-like monologue proclaiming so.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=3|quote=HUSSKE: yes! the saviør! sø yøuve heard øf him! 
HUSSKE: i knew it! i knew! that there was sømething abøut yøu! this must be! the reasøn! 
HUSSKE: his høly døctrine! called yøu here! as it did us! because yøu knew!|whosaid=Husske}}
</ref>

Husske is a pacifist, like the other trolls in their home. They refuse to use their weapons given to them to harm others, instead using them as farm equipment to grow and trade corn.

== Relationships ==
{{empty}}

== Trivia ==
* The bullet point "child of the corn" is a reference to the 1984 horror film "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_the_Corn_(1984_film) Children of the Corn]"
* Their would-be classpect is Page of Void.
* Husske appears to have a crush on a young troll girl briefly appearing in their volume.
* Husske's quirk replaces all instances of the letter ''o'' with ''ø'', which is a reference to their emanant aspect of Void as the letter Ø resembles the mathematical symbol for the [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_set empty set].

Oricka Rourst

2021-08-23T17:26:33Z

Anndec: added references to personality and relationship sections

{{Incomplete}}

{{/Infobox}}

'''Oricka Rourst''' is a secondary [[troll]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Brass.

In [https://twitter.com/SyndicationVE/status/1101361424746479621 Oricka's trollodex entry], her bullet points are listed as:
* mild-mannered machinator
* first aid first-timer
* expanses away, but close to home

== Etymology ==
Oricka's name is a reference to the character Oreko from [https://yumenikkifg.fandom.com/wiki/.flow .flow], a Yume Nikki fangame. Oricka could also possibly come from the Czech work "říčka", which translates to "small/tiny river".

== Biography ==
Oricka falls under the very endangered violetblood caste of Repiton. It's stated that her lusus is dead and that she lives in a cave resembling it.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=When she was first relocated here, she said that the bluff reminded her a lot of her deadly, departed lusus.}}</ref>

After an incident implied to have involved an unnamed "mob", Oricka, with the help of Secily, went into hiding in a bluff near the shores. The scars adorning her body and face appear to have originated in said incident.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=Anyway, she was a highblood in peril and the mob wasn't interested in arguing with both you and your sword, so you got her off the hook eventually. But not without some... complications. Medical ones.}}</ref> Since then, she was forbidden from building weapons. <ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=SECILY: 27.Ng3 Oh my god Oricka. What in the all-mother's name does the Non-Destruction Agreement have to do with it? ...Ra4 SECILY: 28.b3 Other than the fact that it's the reason why you absolutely, positively can *not* be building another one of these contraptions? ...Ra2|whosaid=Secily}}</ref> However, by the time Secily arrives at her hive, Oricka seems to not pay it much mind. <ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=SECILY: 26.axb4 You don't seriously mean to tell me that you've been building more of your "little machines" again, do you? ...Rxb4|whosaid=Secily}}</ref>

Her hive is as messy as the landfill near which she resides, although she doesn't at all seem to mind the clutter. <ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=That's an exaggeration, which is unlike you. Her room isn't that bad. Maybe it's the blood in your eyes that's talking. Seeing at all is pretty hard right now. Oricka doesn't seem fazed by your fussing though.
}}</ref>

Upon receiving some alarming message by a mysterious Discorpse user by the nickname ''obnoxiousAntidote'', Oricka sets up her defense lasers, unknowingly putting Secily in harm's way.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=ORICKA: oh right yeah i guess i did just unleash a barrage of laser artillery at you LMAO :yikes:|whosaid=Oricka}}</ref>

== Personality and Traits ==
Oricka is shown to be very excitable, optimistic, and talkative. She is fond of using both puns and nicknames for people she cares for.

Secily describes her as a "Mechanical Genius"<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=She's always been somewhat of a mechanical genius. But the problem with genius is that every so often it can make you do something very, VERY stupid.}}</ref>. Oricks has built a large array of gadgets, including Secily's visor. She has also modified her helmet to display various emoji as she speaks, which is reflected in her quirk.

She refuses the aid from the Repiton Corporation and despises it.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=ORICKA: so what youre saying is :thinking: :thinking: ORICKA: i should just dial up the corporate COPS :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: ORICKA: well sorry but im just not that kind of person! :yikes:|whosaid=Oricka}}</ref> She also refuses to use the Corporate-run [[Skorpe]] chat client, opting to use [[Discorpse]] instead.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=SECILY: 10.O-O-O Not that I could have called you in the first place! You don't have a voice connection here, and I don't know how to work that ridiculous website you insist on using for communication. ...Nbd7|whosaid=Secily}}</ref> She tends to have a very "raunchy" outlook on Repitonian systems.

Oricka is very ashamed of her past ambitions and is always experimenting with new machines to help others. She constantly exhibits the "turning a bad situation into a good one" mindset, always having the need to feel useful instead of helpless.

== Relationships ==

=== Necron Exmort ===
Oricka is Necron's matesprit. They have known each other for about ten sweeps <ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=ORICKA: a decagrade later and i still cant believe the hunk in my red corner now is the same guy! swoooooon :flushed:|whosaid=Oricka}}</ref><ref>{{CiteSB|volume=7|quote=NECRON: † She’s been my BFF long as I can remember, and we’ve been goin’ steady for over a decagrade. †
|whosaid=Necron}}</ref>, and they are shown to have strong feelings for one another. <ref>{{CiteSB|volume=4|quote=ORICKA: he fights like he kisses and he kisses good :flushed:
|whosaid=Oricka}}</ref><ref>{{citeSB|volume=7|quote=You can’t hear the other end of the line, but if his massive grin is anything to go by, it must be Oricka.}}</ref> Despite this, Oricka and Necron are not [[Quadrants#Bonded Romance|bonded]] as of the events of Snowbound Blood Volume 7.<ref>{{CiteSB|volume=7|quote=NECRON: †† We ain’t bonded yet. ††|whosaid=Necron}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Her would-be classpect is Maid of Heart.
* There is a [https://bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Daddy Big Daddy suit] in the background of the entrance to her hive.
* She built Secily a drone named YVES that was based on Secily's departed lusus.
* She resembles [https://yumenikkifg.fandom.com/wiki/.flow .flow] character Oreko, a character also known for building machines.
