The '''Hemospectrum''' is the spectrum of blood colors possessed by [[troll]]s, which forms the basis of their caste system, with social and biological implications.
The '''Hemospectrum''' is the spectrum of blood colors possessed by [[troll]]s. It comes with a certain set of social and biological implications.


== Social Aspects ==
== Social Aspects ==
The [[Wikipedia:Caste|caste system]] on [[Repiton]] is based on the color of an individual's blood.
Although current-day [[Repiton]] no longer upholds any sort of strict, blood-based caste system, the impacts of the old hierarchy can still be felt by its population. As a carry over from [[the Renaissance]], certain groups hold contempt for the lower shades (namely, the [[Mirthamaniacs]]), even if those beliefs are highly frowned upon by society at large. Furthermore, higher shades hold a certain level of inherited privilege from the Renaissance, being able to trace their lineages back much more easily and claim any respective material inheritances left behind by [[ancestors]].


It is possible that the blood-color caste system may correspond with medieval class systems on Earth.
Due to [[Nereus Kerian|Caesar's]] actions from the same time period, the fuchsiablood caste was eradicated, and the violetblood severely diminished. As a consequence, the surviving violetblood seadwellers are considered a protected group by the [[Repiton Corporation]]. Unlike the other blood shades, they are given lifelong grants and housing, so as to guarantee the preservation of the nearly extinct caste.


Based on this supposition, purple blood would be high royalty, blue would be nobility of sorts, green would probably be lesser nobility, and red would be peasantry. The intermediary colors are harder to discern but may correspond to other roles in feudal society or may fall under the previously listed four groups.
Jadebloods are also relatively lower in number, being the only caste in the hemospectrum to hold a sense of unity among themselves. They are expected to, in one way or another, contribute to the reduplication process and/or the rearing of grubs in the schooling facilities underground.


=== Hemotyping ===
It is customary for Repitonians to both type in and adorn certain parts of their outfits in their blood color.
Hemotyping is a tradition in troll society where a person uses their blood color for writing and as the color of their symbol. All of the trolls shown in ''[[Vast Error]]'' practice hemotyping.


== Biological Aspects ==
== Biological Aspects ==
Although blood shades are split into specific categories and subcategories, Repitonians display an effectively limitless variety of specific blood colors. It is near impossible to find two trolls who share the exact same shade of blood.


Blood color seems to have several biological consequences in addition to the social consequences of the caste system. Troll tears, sweat, gums, and tongues are apparently the same color as their blood, though more diluted in color. Other features include the survival abilites most lowbloods have, the psyops possessed by purple bloods, and the fact that trolls within the violetblood and fuchsiablood castes also have aquatic physiological differences compared to the rest of their species (e.g. facial fins and gills).
Repitonians spanning the redblood to greenblood spectrum will, more often than not, possess certain innate lineage specific abilities geared toward survival. They are usually defensive in nature. Examples include: the [[Arcjec Voorat|Voorat]] ability to "play dead", the [[Dismas Mersiv|Mersiv]] healing factor and the [[Sovara Amalie|Amalie]] pacifying voice.


== Blood Colors ==
Purplebloods possess PsyOPs ''(Psychic Occult Powers):'' powerful abilities that affect either the purpleblood's own mind or that of any intended target(s). The violetblood and the extinct fuchsiablood castes have certain aquatic mutations (facial fins and gills).
 
Repitonian tears, gums, and tongues are the same color as their blood, though more diluted in color.

The Hemospectrum is the spectrum of blood colors possessed by trolls. It comes with a certain set of social and biological implications.

Social Aspects

Although current-day Repiton no longer upholds any sort of strict, blood-based caste system, the impacts of the old hierarchy can still be felt by its population. As a carry over from the Renaissance, certain groups hold contempt for the lower shades (namely, the Mirthamaniacs), even if those beliefs are highly frowned upon by society at large. Furthermore, higher shades hold a certain level of inherited privilege from the Renaissance, being able to trace their lineages back much more easily and claim any respective material inheritances left behind by ancestors.

Due to Caesar's actions from the same time period, the fuchsiablood caste was eradicated, and the violetblood severely diminished. As a consequence, the surviving violetblood seadwellers are considered a protected group by the Repiton Corporation. Unlike the other blood shades, they are given lifelong grants and housing, so as to guarantee the preservation of the nearly extinct caste.

Jadebloods are also relatively lower in number, being the only caste in the hemospectrum to hold a sense of unity among themselves. They are expected to, in one way or another, contribute to the reduplication process and/or the rearing of grubs in the schooling facilities underground.

It is customary for Repitonians to both type in and adorn certain parts of their outfits in their blood color.

Biological Aspects

Although blood shades are split into specific categories and subcategories, Repitonians display an effectively limitless variety of specific blood colors. It is near impossible to find two trolls who share the exact same shade of blood.

Repitonians spanning the redblood to greenblood spectrum will, more often than not, possess certain innate lineage specific abilities geared toward survival. They are usually defensive in nature. Examples include: the Voorat ability to "play dead", the Mersiv healing factor and the Amalie pacifying voice.

Purplebloods possess PsyOPs (Psychic Occult Powers): powerful abilities that affect either the purpleblood's own mind or that of any intended target(s). The violetblood and the extinct fuchsiablood castes have certain aquatic mutations (facial fins and gills).

Repitonian tears, gums, and tongues are the same color as their blood, though more diluted in color.
