'''Murrit Turkin''', also known by his [[Skorpe]] handle, {{VE Quote|murrit|unclaspedKahuna}}, is one of the main characters and [[Aspect Holders]] in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Lead, and she is a deconstruction of the "incomprehensible character mess" fantroll archetype.<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref>


He 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 fifth troll introduced and the fourth player to enter the game. As a Time player, it was part of his initial duty to kick-start [[The Game]]'s entry process and make sure all of his fellow players were ready to join, along with the session's [[Laivan Ferroo|Space player]].


== Biography ==
==Etymology==
The surname 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 general interest in pop culture and propensity to record her friends' daily lives.


=== Six Sweeps ===
==Biography==
In his youth, Murrit was a salesman who sold pieces of the [[Frog Temple]] near his hive for profit. Upon making a deal with [[White Noise]] to rebuild the temple and notify his group of friends after he finished, he was awakened on the moon of [[Derse]] where he was apprehended by a group of con men known as the [[Dead Shufflers]] and held hostage against the [[Black Queen]]. The game's [[Jack Noir]], known as [[Jack Noir|Scathing Sharper]], took a liking to Murrit rather quickly and as such acted as a sort of mentor to him, teaching him how they operated and turning him 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.  
===Early Life===
[[File:Xamag Dead Shufflers and Muurit.png|thumb|341x341px|Murrit and the Dead Shufflers. Art by Xamag.]]
During their time in school, Murrit was a part of the seadweller-specific classes, which put them under the designation of "honor student". Despite this, he was a notable troublemaker, frequently targeting [[Dismas Mersiv]] with his various antics. He silently tailed Dismas and [[Albion Shukra]] in their mission to get [[Jentha Briati]] out of her mould, convincing the three to let him join them in the yard. After Murrit shoved Dismas off a piece of playground equipment, Jentha was greatly upset, causing her to have a survival ability meltdown, which resulted in the death of many students and staff at the school, as well as the disappearance and presumed death of Dismas.


=== Pre-Game ===
Murrit proceeded to take full blame for the incident and was expelled by [[The Principal|the Principal]]. They journeyed in exile until eventually finding a tropical island to settle down on.
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|Laivan]]. He is first seen speaking with [[Tazsia|Taz]], trying to get her to listen to him about what's been set in motion and how she's meant to play a part. Taz quickly loses interest when she's told she has to play with [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]], however.  


Murrit is next seen messaging [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]], telling him that he needs to outside and confront his lusus (secretly so he can make another video compilation out of Dismas' pain). He also tells Dismas that the world is about to end and Dismas needs to do what he says or else he's doomed along with the planet. He introduces his surveillance robot, Boobdrone, to Dismas and after showing him the true threat of the game, Dismas's enraged [[lusus]] finds him due to Murrit letting him out beforehand and he is pulled into a strife with the deadly Skulltitan. Murrit watches in amusement and pity.  
For a time following their expulsion, Murrit took to selling pieces of the [[Frog Temple|ruins]] near their [[Murrit's hive|hive]] in order to get by. At around 4.5 sweeps old, they struck a deal with [[White Noise]] to rebuild the temple and notify his group of friends after he finished, in exchange for being 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]], quickly took a liking to Murrit and as such acted as a sort of mentor to her, teaching her how they operated and turning her into a feared member of their gang, and in her waking life, a feared member of the remaining seadweller hierarchy.


Shortly after his proper introduction, Murrit is messaged by Laivan, and the two share a pleasant conversation about coming events of the night. He is then messaged by [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] and they also have a conversation about the night's events, but a decidedly more terse and unpleasant one, with Murrit complaining that Calder is wasting his time. Murrit then makes a memo about the game and the codes everyone needs to start the entry process, but pointedly excludes [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]] from it.
Some time afterward, Murrit played a fateful virtual poker game within which they reunited with Dismas, prompting them to sell the Shufflers out into servitude or hiding and completely recreate their personality from scratch into an eccentric, sleazy front. The two entered into a [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismesissitude]] after some time, working as partners with Dismas as a hitman, and later, Murrit would lead Dismas to a destitute Jentha, reuniting the two who would then become [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirails]].


After his conversation with Calder, Murrit ventures to the [[Frog Temple]] next to his hive, and upon arrival, he appears beaten up and bloodied due to the traps he set beforehand. He approaches the temple's time capsule flower and waits for it to open. Before it does however, he is messaged by Laivan again, who voices his concerns about [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] after he recieved some panicked messages from her along with him giving up his long hunt for glue. Murrit states he doesn't know what's going on with her, having only spoken to Taz, Dismas, Laivan and Calder that night. The flower opens and in a burst of light, twelve rays shoot off in a variety of directions and towards everyone's computers, forcefully installing the game in the process. He then plans to play some more Anthropormuncipality with Laivan in celebration. Before this, he is messaged by Taz, outraged that Murrit had apparently tampered with her computer. Murrit merely reiterates what he told Taz earlier that and tells her to just figure it out with Arcjec.
At an unspecified point after this and before the events of the story, Murrit watched on his monitors as [[Ellsee Raines]] attempted a ritual that went horribly wrong. The things Murrit saw shook them to their core, causing them to dedicate effort to excluding her from the upcoming game.


Shortly after Arcjec's entry, Murrit is later messaged by a furious Ellsee, who had just discovered Arcjec's mess of a hive and found Murrit's memo on Arcjec's computer. Murrit becomes serious, dropping his quirk and tells her that he knows she can not be trusted and to not fuck with him. Ellsee then makes a memo to provide her own knowledge about the game, but Murrit leaves it immediately after it is made. Murrit and Laivan continue to play Anthropormuncipality during part of Taz's entry process.
=== Act 1 ===
On the night of [[The Game]], Murrit spends most of his time preparing and organizing his plans to get everyone into the game successfully, pushing everyone along accordingly. This includes {{VE|59|attempting to explain the circumstances to}} [[Taz Poemme]] in the most excruciating manner possible, {{VE|117|re-explaining their past in relation to White Noise to Dismas}} as he is led outside by Murrit to be filmed fighting his [[Lusus#Skulltitan Lusus|lusus]], {{VE|159|spying on their friends}} on their various CRT monitors, and playing a [[Anthropormunicipality|different game]] with a [[Laivan Ferroo|friend]] to pass the time.  


Murrit is next seen after he's cleaned himself up and returned to [[Murrit's hive|his block]], waiting for Laivan to finish Taz's entry so he can start Laivan's. Laivan questions why Murrit left Ellsee's memo, clearly upset about how poorly she is treated. Murrit doesn't provide an answer, only telling Laivan that he has his reasons and he should trust him. Murrit then begins the entry process.
Murrit eventually makes his way back to the Frog Temple, which he has labeled and desecrated as his "hentai dungeon", {{VE|231|after navigating a series of elaborate traps}} designed by himself to keep him on his toes. In the temple, along with [[Narayan Code|several runes]] is a giant closed flower pod on a pedestal with a timer counting down, minutes from completion. Being a bit early for the big reveal, Murrit fetches their Doncamaticomp from their [[Sylladex#Surveillance|fetch modus]], answering a message from [[Laivan Ferroo]] about the current state of preparation for the game. {{VE|242|Murrit promises to play a game of Anthropormunicipality with Laivan}} as the countdown on the flower pod's pedestal ends.


=== During the Game ===
The flower opens and lets out a bright beam of light that splits into twelve, forcefully installing The Game on the main cast's computers. This prompts Taz to message Murrit in frustrated confusion before being told outright to figure it out herself.
Murrit has not currently been shown to have entered the game.


== Personality and Traits ==
Not long after, {{VE|265|Murrit sends a mass memo}} to the main cast (with the exception of Ellsee) informing them of the nature of The Game. {{VE|357|They then receive a message}} from who they think to be Arcjec, though it's revealed to be Ellsee messaging them through Arcjec's Skorpe account, demanding to know what was going on and why she was excluded. Murrit proceeds to drop his quirk and sharply demand that she stay away away from the rest of the cast and the game if she actually cares about any of them, ceasing to message her further.
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. He 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 his actual personality, to the point that Murrit himself may not be sure of his 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. He 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 magenta-blooded troll]]). True to this disdain for the pecking order, Murrit tries to (mis)treat everyone equally, rarely giving anyone any special treatment.
During {{VE|310|2=&#91;S&#93; Arcjec: Enter.}}, Murrit is shown playing aforementioned rounds of Anthropormunicipality with Laivan as promised.  


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.  
=== Act 2 ===
Murrit was included in Ellsee's memo, but immediately withdrew from it. After the memo, Laivan messages Murrit asking why she left, to which Murrit asks that Laivan just trust them on it.


Murrit seems to be proficient in using a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novation_Digital_Music_Systems launchpad], though his 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.  
The scene switches to Murrit's Boobdrone (Based Occulatory Operation Buddy Drone) harassing Dismas, half submerged in a stream with a broken arm after the recent altercation with his lusus, with its auto chatter function. Not long after, the automatic function shuts off and Murrit returns, piloting the drone. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move, they bring Jentha into a [[Skorpe]] call, who proceeds to heavily chastise Murrit for telling her Dismas had been killed in order to get her to join the call in the first place. Murrit has another Boobdrone push an ore-powered minecart onto the nearby rails, hoisting Dismas onto it to get him back to his hive in order to be Murrit's server player.


In the past, Murrit had behaved more in-line with the supposed standards of his blood caste, but has since abandoned the facade for reasons unknown.
Later, on the sandy beach in front of her hive, Murrit's entrance into the game is put in jeopardy{{VE|675}}. Their paragon repository is trapped in a cube of ice, unable to be melted in time to release their [[Denizen]] before the meteor hits. Suddenly, the ice block and the hourglass inside it shatter, unleashing the [[Gusion|Denizen of Time]] inside. {{VE|684|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.


== Relationships ==
After his entry, {{VE|980|Murrit is shown having an argument}} with [[Metatron]] regarding 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 their 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 they weren't made aware of. Metatron presses Murrit to describe what he saw, accompanied by a flashback of Ellsee's ritual gone wrong, something White Noise had not been able to see before.


=== Dismas Mersiv ===
===Act 3 Act 1===
Murrit and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] have been in a kismessitude 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 and the two worked as partners in an unknown capacity in the past. Though it is inferred that the work wasn't negotiable and had quite a lot of murder involved.
In the reopened memo, Murrit ignores multiple tags from [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] only to respond at the last minute, deflecting accusations and banning themself from the memo to avoid further questioning. She's then shown bringing several personal items onto her planet via Boobdrones while having a conversation with [[Tee Hanos]], one of her [[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 their head.


Murrit appears to have a tough-love stance towards Dismas, regularly helping Dismas in a round-about, 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 rivalistic 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 his part.
Tee Hanos entrusts Murrit with the last S-Grade resource on the planet, a Time Fractal, which is imbued with pure Time essence by Gusion himself. Murrit proceeds to call up Metatron for his crafting services, having him add up all the loot they obtained in their time as a member of the Dead Shufflers, rocketing their level up to 13 immediately. She then spends time making a large variety of items, outfits, weapons, and a new hairstyle to boot. He then uses the Time Fractal as well as all his other remaining resources {{VE|2184|to craft the Retrogauntlet}}, a device that allows him to directly interact with and learn from the past. In {{VE|2190|2=&#91;S&#93; Murrit: REW/FFD}}, she uses the Retrogauntlet to travel back in time and follow his path of undoing the damage. After destroying what appears to be robots in the distant past on the planet, they travel to an unruined version of the same planet named Land of Waves, Recording. She wanders around the planet and comes across an old temple, in which they find a room with {{VE|2185|the Duodechaxiom}}, it's screen glowing purple with the eye of [[Mimesis]].


=== Laivan Ferroo ===
===Alt!Murrit===
[[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 him 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.
In an [[Known_Probabilities#Alt.21Murrit:_FAST-FORWARD.|alternate probability]], instead of crafting the Retrogauntlet, Alt!Murrit follows the advice of a [[Mimesis|certain someone]], creating a device that allows for the viewing of and interaction with the infinite branches of the probable future: {{VE|2185|the Duodechaxiom}}. {{VE|2188|Tee Hanos remarks on this choice}}, claiming that Alt!Murrit is straying from their path, to which Alt!Murrit retorts by claiming that they're just going to make their own.


=== Tazsia Poemme ===
In {{VE|2190|2=&#91;S&#93; Murrit: REW/FFD}}, Alt!Murrit uses the Duodechaxiom to view all branches of the future, and it can be assumed she travels to the future of his own session. In their session, as explained in a later conversation, the [[Land of Construct and Deluge#The Cauldron|Magnum Opus]] was {{VE quote|murrit|>([busted from the start]}}, leaving their only remaining option to be fighting [[Gaiaeon]] head-on. Even with everyone having achieved all the preparation they could muster, everyone but Alt!Murrit was killed in the battle. With no other choice, they run away into Gaiaeon's last blind spot, that being [[Land of Murk and Quagmire]].
[[Tazsia Poemme|Taz]] is one of the few trolls to not be immediately put off by Murrit's scummy, perverted facade, 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 his 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 he also has his tipping point and has 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.
{{VE|2105|Alt!Murrit is first seen messaging Laivan}} from her session's Land of Murk and Quagmire in an echo of a conversation between Dismas and the true Murrit shown a few pages prior. Alt!Murrit is shown at the end of their probability, covered in Ellsee's blood and having achieved self-actualization. Laivan dismisses Alt!Murrit's claims as a bit to get under his skin, attempting to brush her off until she pleads that this is all she has left, to which Laivan relents. In this conversation, Alt!Murrit tells Laivan about her probability and it's circumstances.


=== Calder Kerian ===
She then goes on to explain the nature of probabilities and everything she learned in her thirty-two nights of playing The Game. They assert that the only probable outcome of their confrontation with Gaiaeon where they reign successful was that of the true timeline, Laivan's timeline, and trusting Laivan to make the right choices before being destroyed by Gaiaeon's scream at the end of the probability.
Murrit does not like [[Calder Kerian|Calder]] at all. Murrit makes a huge point of annoying or ignoring Calder whenever possible, even basing his "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.


=== Ellsee Raines ===
==Personality and Traits==
For reasons unknown, 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 is the only troll who Murrit has referred to by name, rather than a double entendres-rifled, reference-heavy, or insulting nickname.
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. They deliberately speak in a way that is annoying, slang-filled and inconsistent that often leaves the people they interact with confused and frustrated. Under the surface, however, Murrit is shown to care immensely for her friends, both out of an obligation to get them into the game and actual genuine attachment. They even go as far as making an attempt on one of their lives in what they see as saving the others.


=== Arcjec Voorat ===
Murrit is very convicted in his beliefs and is notably difficult to sway, as demonstrated by the misunderstanding regarding Ellsee's failed ritual. They show an incredible amount of commitment to everything they do, from their idiosyncrasies to their actual convictions, even (and at times especially) if it is to their own detriment.
[[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] generally dislikes interacting with Murrit, but appears to trust him 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 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 treat (and mess with) everyone equally, rarely giving anyone any special treatment.
Murrit met [[White Noise]] at least two sweeps prior to the events of the Game. White Noise had approached the destined Time player his dreams, and gave him 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 his ideal self, Murrit accepted and has worked in tandem with Laivan to fulfill his end of the bargain with White Noise ever since. As part of their deal, Murrit's dreamself awoke on Derse, and he's dreamed on Derse ever since.


=== The Dead Shuffles ===
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 for his eyes only, playing [[Anthropormunicipality]] with Laivan, taking apart machines and figuring out how they work and how they can be exploited for his own purposes, antagonizing/helping Dismas, and pretending to be into hentai.
Murrit was once a member of the Vast Error version of the Midnight Crew: [[The Dead Shufflers]]. After he 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, [[Jack Noir|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. He hasn't looked back since.
 
==Relationships==
 
===Dismas Mersiv===
Murrit and [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] went to school together, where Dismas would frequently be the target of Murrit's horseplay. After the incident and Dismas's disappearance, the two reunited and have been in a [[Quadrants#Kismesissitude.2FCaliginous Quadrant .E2.99.A0|kismesissitude]] ever since. The two worked as partners in a presumably illegal capacity in the past, with Dismas acting as Murrit's hitman of sorts.
 
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's feelings on the relationship differ greatly from what their quadrant designation suggests, and it is confirmed that they actually have a flushed crush on Dismas, who Murrit considers to be the best thing to ever happen to them<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|date=Sep 19, 2018|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/178239638154}}</ref>. However, due to the gravity of this fact and her fear of ruining their relationship due to Repiton's societal and cultural norms surrounding romance, Murrit keeps this a secret.
 
===Jentha Briati===
[[Jentha Briati|Jentha]] has held a stark animosity for Murrit since the two met in school, being the one to stand up against him when his bullying went too far. However, it was Murrit who reunited Jentha with Dismas sweeps later. She still holds a firm distaste for their character, their idiosyncrasies being especially hard to keep up with due to her myriad of disabilities. Despite this, she still holds a firm ground against Murrit in defense of her moirail.
 
Generally, she doesn't seem to hate Murrit completely despite their many clashing traits, at most tolerating him.
 
===Laivan Ferroo===
Before the game, [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and Murrit were considerably close friends, with the two sharing a passion for Anthropormunicipality and a destiny in leading everyone to play the game they recovered from the Frog Temple. Murrit seems generally more lax around Laivan, giving him a much less difficult time than others and being more willing to divulge to him.
 
Shortly after the game had begun, however, their dynamic started to see a shift. With Murrit making an attempt on Ellsee's life and refusing to take responsibility, Laivan began to find Murrit much less forgivable or tolerable, leading to a building animosity that saw a peak when Laivan was messaged by Alt!Murrit{{VE|2105}}. Laivan is very short with Murrit in this conversation, chastising her for her behavior and her actions, to which Alt!Murrit insists she literally can't take responsibility for. Only after laying their intentions bare with all the emotional honesty they could muster does Alt!Murrit gain Laivan's begrudging attention.
 
===Taz Poemme===
[[Taz Poemme|Taz]] is one of the few trolls to elicit any genuine honesty from Murrit, and Murrit calls their relationship a camaraderie of sorts. They both seem to recognize that their respective demeanors are mere posturing in favor of their actual personalities. Murrit wasn't there with Taz during the worst parts of her life, though, which leads him to ponder on what she's been through and whether he could relate to it (a thought he immediately represses on instinct){{VE|2156}}.
 
===Ellsee Raines ===
Due to Murrit's viewing of an occult ritual to contact her ancestors, Murrit seems to outright fear [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]], and distrusts her even more so, to the point that Murrit actively tries to keep her out of the game and makes threats on her life. Ellsee is the only troll who Murrit has referred to by name, rather than a double entendre-rifled, reference-heavy, or insulting nickname.
 
In Alt!Murrit's conversation with Laivan, however, she claims that she and Ellsee were "close", refusing to talk about her much more than that given her undeniably strong grief surrounding her Ellsee's death.
 
===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 her 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. After Murrit makes an attempt on Ellsee's life, however, Arcjec (much like everyone else) shows a growing contempt for Murrit's refusal to take responsibility or be mature about the situation at all.
 
===White Noise===
Murrit met [[White Noise]] at about 4.5 sweeps old. White Noise had approached the destined Time player in her dreams and gave her the choice of whether to pursue her destiny or not, clearly outlining the conditions of such a contact would require of Murrit and what it would give her 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 to fulfill their 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 he 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 their real life as well. However, after reuniting with Dismas, Murrit eventually lost interest in that kind of life, and sold the group out. He 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.

Murrit Turkin, also known by his Skorpe handle, unclaspedKahuna, is one of the main characters and Aspect Holders in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Lead, and she is a deconstruction of the "incomprehensible character mess" fantroll archetype.[1]

They were the fifth troll introduced and the fourth player to enter the game. As a Time player, it was part of his initial duty to kick-start The Game's entry process and make sure all of his fellow players were ready to join, along with the session's Space player.

Etymology

The surname Turkin could be a reference to Valentin Turkin (1887-1958), a Russian screenwriter and critic. This can be loosely related to Murrit's general interest in pop culture and propensity to record her friends' daily lives.

Biography

Early Life

During their time in school, Murrit was a part of the seadweller-specific classes, which put them under the designation of "honor student". Despite this, he was a notable troublemaker, frequently targeting Dismas Mersiv with his various antics. He silently tailed Dismas and Albion Shukra in their mission to get Jentha Briati out of her mould, convincing the three to let him join them in the yard. After Murrit shoved Dismas off a piece of playground equipment, Jentha was greatly upset, causing her to have a survival ability meltdown, which resulted in the death of many students and staff at the school, as well as the disappearance and presumed death of Dismas.

Murrit proceeded to take full blame for the incident and was expelled by the Principal. They journeyed in exile until eventually finding a tropical island to settle down on.

For a time following their expulsion, Murrit took to selling pieces of the ruins near their hive in order to get by. At around 4.5 sweeps old, they struck a deal with White Noise to rebuild the temple and notify his group of friends after he finished, in exchange for being awakened on the moon of Derse, where he was apprehended by a group of con men known as the Dead Shufflers and held hostage against the Black Queen. The game's Jack Noir, known as Scathing Sharper, quickly took a liking to Murrit and as such acted as a sort of mentor to her, teaching her how they operated and turning her into a feared member of their gang, and in her waking life, a feared member of the remaining seadweller hierarchy.

Some time afterward, Murrit played a fateful virtual poker game within which they reunited with Dismas, prompting them to sell the Shufflers out into servitude or hiding and completely recreate their personality from scratch into an eccentric, sleazy front. The two entered into a kismesissitude after some time, working as partners with Dismas as a hitman, and later, Murrit would lead Dismas to a destitute Jentha, reuniting the two who would then become moirails.

At an unspecified point after this and before the events of the story, Murrit watched on his monitors as Ellsee Raines attempted a ritual that went horribly wrong. The things Murrit saw shook them to their core, causing them to dedicate effort to excluding her from the upcoming game.

Act 1

On the night of The Game, Murrit spends most of his time preparing and organizing his plans to get everyone into the game successfully, pushing everyone along accordingly. This includes attempting to explain the circumstances to DCRC icon.png Taz Poemme in the most excruciating manner possible, re-explaining their past in relation to White Noise to Dismas DCRC icon.png as he is led outside by Murrit to be filmed fighting his lusus, spying on their friends DCRC icon.png on their various CRT monitors, and playing a different game with a friend to pass the time.

Murrit eventually makes his way back to the Frog Temple, which he has labeled and desecrated as his "hentai dungeon", after navigating a series of elaborate traps DCRC icon.png designed by himself to keep him on his toes. In the temple, along with several runes is a giant closed flower pod on a pedestal with a timer counting down, minutes from completion. Being a bit early for the big reveal, Murrit fetches their Doncamaticomp from their fetch modus, answering a message from Laivan Ferroo about the current state of preparation for the game. Murrit promises to play a game of Anthropormunicipality with Laivan DCRC icon.png as the countdown on the flower pod's pedestal ends.

The flower opens and lets out a bright beam of light that splits into twelve, forcefully installing The Game on the main cast's computers. This prompts Taz to message Murrit in frustrated confusion before being told outright to figure it out herself.

Not long after, Murrit sends a mass memo DCRC icon.png to the main cast (with the exception of Ellsee) informing them of the nature of The Game. They then receive a message DCRC icon.png from who they think to be Arcjec, though it's revealed to be Ellsee messaging them through Arcjec's Skorpe account, demanding to know what was going on and why she was excluded. Murrit proceeds to drop his quirk and sharply demand that she stay away away from the rest of the cast and the game if she actually cares about any of them, ceasing to message her further.

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

Act 2

Murrit was included in Ellsee's memo, but immediately withdrew from it. After the memo, Laivan messages Murrit asking why she left, to which Murrit asks that Laivan just trust them on it.

The scene switches to Murrit's Boobdrone (Based Occulatory Operation Buddy Drone) harassing Dismas, half submerged in a stream with a broken arm after the recent altercation with his lusus, with its auto chatter function. Not long after, the automatic function shuts off and Murrit returns, piloting the drone. In an effort to make Dismas feel better and get him to move, they bring Jentha into a Skorpe call, who proceeds to heavily chastise Murrit for telling her Dismas had been killed in order to get her to join the call in the first place. Murrit has another Boobdrone push an ore-powered minecart onto the nearby rails, hoisting Dismas onto it to get him back to his hive in order to be Murrit's server player.

Later, on the sandy beach in front of her hive, Murrit's entrance into the game is put in jeopardy DCRC icon.png. Their paragon repository is trapped in a cube of ice, unable to be melted in time to release their Denizen before the meteor hits. Suddenly, the ice block and the hourglass inside it shatter, unleashing the Denizen of Time inside. As Murrit rushes into the portal DCRC icon.png, after him, two characters are shown, one with symbols in the color of the Time aspect on his palms.

After his entry, Murrit is shown having an argument DCRC icon.png with Metatron regarding 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 their view on killing off 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 they weren't made aware of. Metatron presses Murrit to describe what he saw, accompanied by a flashback of Ellsee's ritual gone wrong, something White Noise had not been able to see before.

Act 3 Act 1

In the reopened memo, Murrit ignores multiple tags from Arcjec only to respond at the last minute, deflecting accusations and banning themself from the memo to avoid further questioning. She's then shown bringing several personal items onto her planet via Boobdrones while having a conversation with Tee Hanos, one of her 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 their head.

Tee Hanos entrusts Murrit with the last S-Grade resource on the planet, a Time Fractal, which is imbued with pure Time essence by Gusion himself. Murrit proceeds to call up Metatron for his crafting services, having him add up all the loot they obtained in their time as a member of the Dead Shufflers, rocketing their level up to 13 immediately. She then spends time making a large variety of items, outfits, weapons, and a new hairstyle to boot. He then uses the Time Fractal as well as all his other remaining resources to craft the Retrogauntlet DCRC icon.png, a device that allows him to directly interact with and learn from the past. In [S] Murrit: REW/FFD DCRC icon.png, she uses the Retrogauntlet to travel back in time and follow his path of undoing the damage. After destroying what appears to be robots in the distant past on the planet, they travel to an unruined version of the same planet named Land of Waves, Recording. She wanders around the planet and comes across an old temple, in which they find a room with the Duodechaxiom DCRC icon.png, it's screen glowing purple with the eye of Mimesis.

Alt!Murrit

In an alternate probability, instead of crafting the Retrogauntlet, Alt!Murrit follows the advice of a certain someone, creating a device that allows for the viewing of and interaction with the infinite branches of the probable future: the Duodechaxiom DCRC icon.png. Tee Hanos remarks on this choice DCRC icon.png, claiming that Alt!Murrit is straying from their path, to which Alt!Murrit retorts by claiming that they're just going to make their own.

In [S] Murrit: REW/FFD DCRC icon.png, Alt!Murrit uses the Duodechaxiom to view all branches of the future, and it can be assumed she travels to the future of his own session. In their session, as explained in a later conversation, the Magnum Opus was >([busted from the start], leaving their only remaining option to be fighting Gaiaeon head-on. Even with everyone having achieved all the preparation they could muster, everyone but Alt!Murrit was killed in the battle. With no other choice, they run away into Gaiaeon's last blind spot, that being Land of Murk and Quagmire.

Alt!Murrit is first seen messaging Laivan DCRC icon.png from her session's Land of Murk and Quagmire in an echo of a conversation between Dismas and the true Murrit shown a few pages prior. Alt!Murrit is shown at the end of their probability, covered in Ellsee's blood and having achieved self-actualization. Laivan dismisses Alt!Murrit's claims as a bit to get under his skin, attempting to brush her off until she pleads that this is all she has left, to which Laivan relents. In this conversation, Alt!Murrit tells Laivan about her probability and it's circumstances.

She then goes on to explain the nature of probabilities and everything she learned in her thirty-two nights of playing The Game. They assert that the only probable outcome of their confrontation with Gaiaeon where they reign successful was that of the true timeline, Laivan's timeline, and trusting Laivan to make the right choices before being destroyed by Gaiaeon's scream at the end of the probability.

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. They deliberately speak in a way that is annoying, slang-filled and inconsistent that often leaves the people they interact with confused and frustrated. Under the surface, however, Murrit is shown to care immensely for her friends, both out of an obligation to get them into the game and actual genuine attachment. They even go as far as making an attempt on one of their lives in what they see as saving the others.

Murrit is very convicted in his beliefs and is notably difficult to sway, as demonstrated by the misunderstanding regarding Ellsee's failed ritual. They show an incredible amount of commitment to everything they do, from their idiosyncrasies to their actual convictions, even (and at times especially) if it is to their own detriment.

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 certain other magenta-blooded troll). True to this disdain for the pecking order, Murrit tries to treat (and mess with) 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 for his eyes only, playing Anthropormunicipality with Laivan, taking apart machines and figuring out how they work and how they can be exploited for his own purposes, antagonizing/helping Dismas, and pretending to be into hentai.

Relationships

Dismas Mersiv

Murrit and Dismas went to school together, where Dismas would frequently be the target of Murrit's horseplay. After the incident and Dismas's disappearance, the two reunited and have been in a kismesissitude ever since. The two worked as partners in a presumably illegal capacity in the past, with Dismas acting as Murrit's hitman of sorts.

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's feelings on the relationship differ greatly from what their quadrant designation suggests, and it is confirmed that they actually have a flushed crush on Dismas, who Murrit considers to be the best thing to ever happen to them[2]. However, due to the gravity of this fact and her fear of ruining their relationship due to Repiton's societal and cultural norms surrounding romance, Murrit keeps this a secret.

Jentha Briati

Jentha has held a stark animosity for Murrit since the two met in school, being the one to stand up against him when his bullying went too far. However, it was Murrit who reunited Jentha with Dismas sweeps later. She still holds a firm distaste for their character, their idiosyncrasies being especially hard to keep up with due to her myriad of disabilities. Despite this, she still holds a firm ground against Murrit in defense of her moirail.

Generally, she doesn't seem to hate Murrit completely despite their many clashing traits, at most tolerating him.

Laivan Ferroo

Before the game, Laivan and Murrit were considerably close friends, with the two sharing a passion for Anthropormunicipality and a destiny in leading everyone to play the game they recovered from the Frog Temple. Murrit seems generally more lax around Laivan, giving him a much less difficult time than others and being more willing to divulge to him.

Shortly after the game had begun, however, their dynamic started to see a shift. With Murrit making an attempt on Ellsee's life and refusing to take responsibility, Laivan began to find Murrit much less forgivable or tolerable, leading to a building animosity that saw a peak when Laivan was messaged by Alt!Murrit DCRC icon.png. Laivan is very short with Murrit in this conversation, chastising her for her behavior and her actions, to which Alt!Murrit insists she literally can't take responsibility for. Only after laying their intentions bare with all the emotional honesty they could muster does Alt!Murrit gain Laivan's begrudging attention.

Taz Poemme

Taz is one of the few trolls to elicit any genuine honesty from Murrit, and Murrit calls their relationship a camaraderie of sorts. They both seem to recognize that their respective demeanors are mere posturing in favor of their actual personalities. Murrit wasn't there with Taz during the worst parts of her life, though, which leads him to ponder on what she's been through and whether he could relate to it (a thought he immediately represses on instinct) DCRC icon.png.

Ellsee Raines

Due to Murrit's viewing of an occult ritual to contact her ancestors, Murrit seems to outright fear Ellsee, and distrusts her even more so, to the point that Murrit actively tries to keep her out of the game and makes threats on her life. Ellsee is the only troll who Murrit has referred to by name, rather than a double entendre-rifled, reference-heavy, or insulting nickname.

In Alt!Murrit's conversation with Laivan, however, she claims that she and Ellsee were "close", refusing to talk about her much more than that given her undeniably strong grief surrounding her Ellsee's death.

Calder Kerian

Murrit does not like 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 generally dislikes interacting with Murrit, but appears to trust her regardless, believing her 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. After Murrit makes an attempt on Ellsee's life, however, Arcjec (much like everyone else) shows a growing contempt for Murrit's refusal to take responsibility or be mature about the situation at all.

White Noise

Murrit met White Noise at about 4.5 sweeps old. White Noise had approached the destined Time player in her dreams and gave her the choice of whether to pursue her destiny or not, clearly outlining the conditions of such a contact would require of Murrit and what it would give her 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 to fulfill their 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 he 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 their real life as well. However, after reuniting with Dismas, Murrit eventually lost interest in that kind of life, and sold the group out. He hasn't looked back since.

Trivia

  • Murrit's Skorpe handle, 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 Act 1 spouts random factoids about female troll chests.

  • 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 Pulp Fiction, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, ALF and End of Evangelion.
    • Murrit seems to be frequently associated with the virtual band Gorillaz.

    • He has been shown to be a fan of the Repitonian version of Danganronpa. 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 The Simpsons, which has been running for hundreds if not thousands of sweeps on Repiton DCRC icon.png.
  • Murrit is a Violetblood, a Derse dreamer, and a Hero of Time, meaning on Alternia his sign would be Aquaries, Sign of the Heroic..
