Murrit Turkin, also known by his Skorpe handle, unclaspedKahuna, is one of the trolls in Vast Error. His associated alchemic sigil is Lead and his horns are shaped like rods with flipped protrusions on the top. Upwards on the right and downwards on the left.
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 Space player.
Biography
Six Sweeps
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 to 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 him, teaching him how they operated and turning him into a feared member of their gang and the remaining sea troll hierarchy.
Some time afterward, Murrit sold them out into servitude or hiding and completely changed his personality in some capacity before the events of the story began.
Pre-Game
During the Game
Murrit has not currently been shown to have entered the game.
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. 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 He finds both concepts completely irrelevant and outdated on a dying planet with a critically endangered sea-dweller population (to the frustration of a certain magenta-blooded troll). True to this disdain for the pecking order, Murrit tries to 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.
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.
Relationships
Dismas Mersiv
Murrit and 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.
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.
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.
White Noise
Murrit met White Noise at least 2 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, a gambler and a 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.
Taz
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.
Calder Kerian
Murrit does not like 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
For reasons unknown, Murrit greatly dislikes Ellsee, and distrusts her even more so, to the point that Murrit actively tries to keep Ellsee out of the game and threatens her.
Arcjec Voorat
Arcjec generally dislikes 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.
Trivia
- Murrit switches what pair of shutter shades he wears every 'wice' (about a week) per half a sweep. He 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 seems to have a heavy distaste for newer episodes of the Repitonian version of The Simpsons. Which has been running for eons in this universe.
- Murrit seems to be proficient in using a 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.
- Murrit has only referred to Ellsee by her real name in comic thus far. All the other trolls have been notified by nickname only, most of which are double entendres, references, or insults.
- He has never used the same nickname for a character twice.
- Murrit has a habit of leaving all of his absurd amount of televisions on at once. In his intro, the televisions not on static are playing tapes of: Pulp Fiction, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, ALF and End of Evangelion.
- His drones known as Boobdrones, are short for: Based Occulatory Operating Buddy Drone. The also all have functions that, when set on auto-pilot, do different things. The one that Murrit sent out to Dismas in Act 1 says random factoids about female troll chests.
- He has been shown to be a fan of the Repitonian version of Dangan Ronpa. It is unknown if this is a legitimate interest of his or not.
- Adding onto his long list of references, Murrit seems to be associated with the virtual band Gorillaz rather often. His hive is very similar to that of Plastic Beach and he has a computer called the 'Doncomaticomp', which is a reference to the instrument and title of their single Doncomatic.
- Valentin Turkin (1887-1958) was a Russian screenwriter and critic. If this is related to his last name, it could relate to the fact that Murrit likes to record his friends to make surreal comedy videos of their suffering.
