Ellsee is first introduced at the start of Act 2, where she is sitting in her tent/hive. She receives a message from her matesprit Occeus, who she had messaged days ago and has only just responded. The two discuss the implications of Occeus' possible breakthrough in his work, apologizing for neglecting Ellsee. He emphasizes the importance of his work to revitalize the planet, and Ellsee voices support, but is left feeling insecure. Out of a feeling of inadequacy and loneliness, she reaches out to Arcjec, asking him if she is likable. Arcjec, despite insisting that he's the last person anyone should seeking out for advice, offers some anyway. The conversation leads to Ellsee to find the resolve to finally meet Arcjec in person and introduce herself properly. | Ellsee is first introduced at the start of Act 2, where she is sitting in her tent/hive.

Ellsee loses her nerve and has started to walk home, but quickly circles back around when she sees that a meteor is flying towards it.

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. This neglect has left Ellsee to feel increasingly insecure in Occeus' absence. | 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).

Ellsee Raines, also known by her Skorpe handle, existereOracle, is one of the trolls and is one of the main characters in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Mercury and her horns are long, thin and sharp. She is the most important character in Vast Error according to White Noise.
She, her ancestor, and her lusus are the only trolls on Repiton who have lime colored blood. Her blood has potent life-bearing properties and could be the secret towards gaining untethered immortality as expressed by Occeus. It could also potentially carry some sort of curse to those who have the blood in their system.
She was the seventh troll introduced and the first troll introduced in Act 2.
Not much is currently known about Ellsee before the story begins.
Ellsee is first introduced at the start of Act 2, where she is sitting in her tent/hive. She receives a message from her matesprit Occeus, who she had messaged days ago and has only just responded. The two discuss the implications of Occeus' possible breakthrough in his work, apologizing for neglecting Ellsee. He emphasizes the importance of his work to revitalize the planet, and Ellsee voices support, but is left feeling insecure. Out of a feeling of inadequacy and loneliness, she reaches out to Arcjec, asking him if she is likable. Arcjec, despite insisting that he's the last person anyone should seeking out for advice, offers some anyway. The conversation leads to Ellsee to find the resolve to finally meet Arcjec in person and introduce herself properly.
After arriving at Arcjec's hive, Ellsee tries to get his attention at his window. The shock of seeing an unknown troll at his window leads Arcjec to fall out of his second floor window into the mud below and passing out.
Ellsee loses her nerve and has started to walk home, but quickly circles back around when she sees that a meteor is flying towards it. She finds his hive in shambles, but bizarrely mostly intact, with Arcjec nowhere to be found. She then learns of the game and the fact that Murrit had intended to exclude her from it. She returns to her hive and reaches out to Occeus again in a panic. Occeus tries to comfort a distressed Ellsee until he reads the memo himself.
Occeus is distressed at the absurdity, yet possible reality of the situation presented by The Game, its necessitating their leaving of the planet and making all his work to save it irrelevant. Having learned that he's meant to work with grandioseSaturation in the game, an outraged Occeus messages the seadweller. As Occeus fumes, Ellsee is left in the dark.
Ellsee has yet to enter the game.
Ellsee is a rather eclectic troll with similarly eclectic interests. She is a practitioner of various forms of magic and potion-crafting. She is however a strong opponent of fortune telling and considers anyone who claims any knowledge of the future to be a charlatan, despite having possibly practiced it herself in the past. She is also a dancer by trade.
As the only living troll on Repiton to have her blood color, she lives a nomadic life on the road, discretely avoiding the undue attention of anyone who would want to get their hands on her blood's life-giving properties. This kind of life has led her to become a staunch survivalist.
The neglect she faces from Occeus' workaholic tendencies have lead her to become somewhat insecure, exacerbated by the natural physical withdrawal she faces as a result of her not seeing her partner in some time (a result of sexual intimacy in Repitonian trolls).
Ellsee is not bothered by Arcjec's cantankerous attitude or even his depressive apathy, and seems to be genuinely fond of him, to the point that she actually find his insults to be kind of funny. She is even comfortable enough to reach out to Arcjec for advice despite Arcjec insisting that he isn't the best moral support (he tries to give her advice anyway).
The two appear to share some sort of deeper connection that Arcjec isn't aware of. Ellsee often tries to introduce herself to him, but regularly fails to do so out of nervousness. It's worth noting that their ancestors had known each other in life.
Occeus is Ellsee's matesprit, and they are one of the few trolls in the cast to 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. This neglect has left Ellsee to feel increasingly insecure in Occeus' absence.
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.
Murrit appears to greatly dislike or distrust Ellsee for reasons unknown, to the point that he actively tries to keep her out of the game.
It is implied that Taz or Ellsee, or both trolls have black feelings for the other, as indicated by this page.
