Trolls are a humanoid race of aliens that first appeared in both Homestuck and Hiveswap, originating from the planet Alternia, which exists in a separate universe to Earth in its source material. In Vast Error, they are the
major set of characters we follow through the narrative. They exist in a solitary universe created by Kheparia before being apprehended by her split equal, Gaiaeon, who forced her into the single life-bearing planet she was able to create beforehand. This in turn causes the universe and the life presiding on the current planet to live and die in a cyclical nature. The trolls are the final species evolved from this, spawned on the planet Repiton.
Trolls have grey skin and dark yellow eyes. They also have pointed teeth, yellow nails, black lips, and black hair. Their most noticeable features are the horns sprouting from their heads, which resemble candy corn (i.e. red-orange bottoms, progressing gradually to yellow at the tips). These horns can grow in a number of different shapes, sizes, and even numbers, and are usually fairly distinct between individuals.
An individual troll may possess one of several different colors of blood spread across the color spectrum. This is known as the Hemospectrum, a now mostly obsolete stratified societal caste system that used to assign social status based on blood; low ranking trolls were regarded as "Lowbloods", whereas high ranking trolls were referred to as "Highbloods". Most of this system went obsolete post-Renaissance on the planet. Different blood castes also have differing biological aspects, such as the various tactical and animalistic survival attributes among Lowbloods (i.e. playing dead, pesudo-healing factors, etc), and the gills possessed by the nearly extinct high-blooded ruling Seadwellers. Before maturity, trolls have dark grey irises, but these fill in with their respective blood colors as they age. Trolls' tears, gums, tongues and sweat are also the color of their blood, but in a more diluted fashion.
Young trolls have first and last names with six letters each, the former of the two chosen by the troll themselves before they even have proper motor skills. Leading nicknames to be very popular on the planet. Most of these nicknames are shorthands of the trolls real name and are usually three to four letters long. Older trolls are assumed to acquire more adult names or titles, typically with 8 letters, although there may be exceptions.
Each troll has a sigil, usually depicted somwhere on their clothing or body, which is assigned from a number of alchemic symbols passed down from a trolls ancestor. It is unknown what the ramifications are for lacking a symbol are currently on Repiton. In Vast Error, the signs of the twelve main trolls are all based on elemental alchemy, substances and metals which were supposedly the building blocks of their planet. It is currently unknown what specific aspects of the trolls horns and personalities are that match their associated alchemic sigil.
It has been confirmed through various background trolls that Repitonian signs can also be based on alchemic processes and concepts.
Prior to the proper events of Vast Error, it is implied by Repion's eternal guardian, White Noise, that the trolls have been reincarnated across all prior planets before now due to their consistency as players and being bound to the twelve aspects of existence. Though this has not been directly confirmed.
