Jentha Briati, also known by her Skorpe handle furbishFacilitated, is one of the main characters in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Tin, and she is a deconstruction of the "useless" fantroll archetype.[1]
Jentha was born without any survival abilities typical to yellowbloods, a fact that has contributed to her general feelings of helplessness and vulnerability.
She was the twelfth troll introduced and the ninth troll to enter the game.
Biography
Early life
When Jentha was younger, she met Murrit Turkin and Dismas Mersiv through unknown circumstances. Dismas refused to end her life, and eventually the two found solace in each other, entering a moirallegiance.
Act 1
During the events of [S] Arcjec: Enter. , Jentha is shown looking at her laptop in distress as the Game installs itself on her machine. She does not feature in any of the Act's pesterlogs.
Act 2
Jentha's first spoken line happens during one of Ellsee Raines's memos, Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ, when Jentha accidentally sends the letter "h" into the chat. The two have a humorous exchange in which Jentha silences and unsilences herself multiple times, before she finally bans herself from the memo altogether.
After her introduction, Jentha is interrupted from watching a stream when Occeus Coliad messages her, seeking advice about his personal woes. Jentha bluntly tells him to leave her alone, as his issues are not her concern, though Occeus takes it as heartfelt advice and thanks her for letting him know he was being selfish. Their conversation is interrupted by a short transmission from Hamifi Hekrix, Occeus's superior, in which she removes him from the Corporate payroll. Crestfallen, Occeus goes back to Jentha, telling her that he may have finally hit rock bottom. Jentha is confused, but Occeus is pulled away before he can respond.
Later, she is brought into a Skorpe call with Dismas and Murrit after her moirail's altercation with his skulltitan lusus, Murrit having sent her into a panic by claiming that Dismas was dead. Dismas calms Jentha down and explains his condition, downplaying his injuries somewhat, and the pair have an exchange where he tries to reassure Jentha about her Game related worries. Murrit then interrupts them with his loud video mashups and states that he's ready for Dismas to act as his server player, a suggestion which Dismas and Jentha are outraged by, both due to Dismas' condition and Murrit being entirely at fault for it. The seadweller manages to talk Dismas into listening to him, despite Jentha's protests: he tells them that he's hatched a plan to get Dismas back to his hive using an ore-powered minecart by the nearby rails.
Jentha and Dismas are skeptical, but Dismas concedes, due to a lack of options and Murrit's reassurances that things are >([under control]. Dismas is then deposited into the cart and proceeds to MELT TRACK, boobdrone in tow.
During [S] Engage. , Jentha yells at Murrit for throwing Dismas down a ladder and putting her moirail in danger with their plan, but she is smugly ignored.
Later, Jentha tries to assist Sova Amalia with her entry, whacking the inky creatures who are harassing her with some of the Game's pillars in an effort to drive them away. Panicked, Jentha messages Occeus to ask for help and apologize for her earlier behavior, but her attention is drawn away before he can respond: a glowing light shines behind her, taking the form of Af, the Denizen of Light, much to her starstruck wonder and the annoyance of White Noise, who bemoans the denizen's tendency to "go off script".
During the events of [S] Ellsee: Enter. , Jentha is led through an ancient ruined town as Af sets up her portal for her. They activate it, prompting Jentha to follow, and she is taken into her fully formed land, a planet comprised of grassy fields with yellow flowers and bright blue skies. Her platform and talk with her denizen are not shown.
Act 3 Act 1
On the day following their entries into the Medium, Jentha joins in on Arcjec's strategy memo. She complains about the Game's mechanics, her planet's appearance and Af's demeanor, before accusing Arcjec of backing down from their Funko collectible trade. He explains that her area of residency is complicated when it comes to done delivery, which she accepts as a fair explanation.
Personality and Traits
Jentha is a reserved and anxious troll who lives closed off to the outside world, being described by White Noise as incredibly hard to find on many occasions. Her lack of survival ability coupled with the absence of her lusus from an early age have left her with a persistent feeling of helplessness and uselessness. Nonetheless, she tends to be rude and insulting when talking to most people, possibly as a way to overcompensate for her anxiety - a fact which she's shown being regretful of on certain occasions. Jentha often tries to be as unpleasant to talk to as possible when she wants to be left alone.
She collects and cares for "outcast" toys, notably a collection of furbies. Due to having a lot of time to herself, she also has great skill in board games, along with a selection of the best movies made. She seems to harbor a "nursery" of toys for kids and other nostalgic interests.
Relationships
Dismas Mersiv
Dismas and Jentha are in a moirallegiance, and their relationship is notably Jentha's only known committed relationship. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, she much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he's very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. The two are very close and openly worry for the other's well being.
Dismas also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own, a fact she is extremely grateful of.
Murrit Turkin
Jentha is often frustrated and distrustful of Murrit, due to his frequent antagonization of Dismas. She finds them to be obnoxious and annoying, but seems to have no problem with putting her foot down on behalf of her moirail when she feels the situation calls for it, outright insulting and calling the seadweller out whenever they act particularly terrible. Despite this, she doesn't seem to truly hate Murrit, thinking of her as an overbearing "stupidhead" rather than a malicious person.
Occeus Coliad
Occeus is Jentha's server player. She doesn't care much about him, having told him to go "jump off a cliff" when he came to her in distress. Occeus doesn't seem to pick up on the fact she's intentionally rude toward him, interpreting her snide comments as genuine, heartfelt advice. Despite her demeanor, he seems to put trust into Jentha, and when under enough stress, Jentha admits that she needs his help and feels guilty about being rude toward him before.
Sova Amalie
Sova is Jentha's client player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as the one who c cares so much about e everyone.
