Chatlogs

Dismas Mersiv, also known by his Skorpe handle, gigantisDebilitation, is one of the trolls in Vast Error. His associated alchemic symbol is Phosphorus and his horns are sharp and turn upwards into what would be a triangle, which is related to his symbol as well as the "edgy" archetype he represents.

He has a pseudo-healing factor as his survival tactic, which allows him to quickly heal wounds albeit leaving them horribly scarred and disfigured. His most notable scars were given to him by his lusus and are presented on his face, which he covers up with a bandanna due to being extremely self-conscious about them.

He was the fourth troll introduced.

Biography

Six-Sweeps

Not much is known about Dismas' past, aside from his history with Murrit. It is known that Murrit somehow came to own Dismas' soul after Dismas lost it in a poker match.

Six sweeps Dismas delivering to six sweeps Murrit.

Dismas was then appointed to being Murrit's hitman, supposedly to take back artifacts he sold from the Frog Temple. Which he needs to fulfill his deal with White Noise.

Pre-game

Dismas is first seen shortly after he returned to his room after narrowly avoiding his lusus, who happened to be a rancid mood. He is suddenly messaged by his kismesis who tells him he needs to go outside and that tonight was of great importance, as Murrit's plans to save his friends from total planetary annihilation and bring about The Game were finally coming to fruition. Despite his concerns about dealing with his lusus, Dismas begrudgingly complies. After being told the situation and the fate of their doomed planet, Dismas encounters Murrit's remote surveillance robot: Boobdrone.

Underwhelmed by the breast-shaped robot, and flipping it off, Murrit responds with a slap to the face from Boobdrone. When Dismas still doesn't believe Murrit's claims of the destruction of Repiton, Boobdrone points to the sky and draws attention to the meteors falling from above. Not long after, Dismas' lusus -- still mad from being locked out -- finds Dismas and prepares an attack for his ward. As Dismas prepares to retaliate, he soon realizes he has no help and must retreat to a nearby hideaway by a waterfall. He then receives a message from Albion, who unbeknownst to him, is being possessed by his long-deceased Ancestor. Albion's ancestor warns Dismas to not "follow credence of the man who spins words like yarn" and to stop "the limeblooded vessel to his heart", leaving Dismas deeply confused and concerned for his friend. Shortly after, he is included in Murrit's mass memo concerning The Game.

Dismas tries his best to choke out the young Skulltitan, but is easily knocked off and is sent hurtling towards the cliff side as his lusus fires an atomic blast in his direction. Dismas loses his bandanna in the process and his fate is left unknown.

He is then included Ellsee's memo, but does not appear to respond.

During the game

Dismas has yet to enter the game.

Personality and Traits

Not if he has anything to say about it.

Dismas defined by his constant struggle to overcome his difficult circumstances. Having been raised by a highly volatile and aggressive immature Skulltitan lusus and having been forced to endure horrible physical tolls to satiate it, Dismas is primarily driven by a goal to escape his abusive home by means of eliminating his lusus and -- by extension -- its entire destructive species. He's dedicated his life towards such a goal and spends great time studying ancient footage of Skulltitans and the methods of their defeat.

However, Dismas is noted to be the kind of troll who regularly over-estimates his abilities, to the point where he often does more harm than good for himself. This is demonstrated in his insufficient methods in eliminating his lusus (simply trying to choke it out), him gambling and losing ownership of his own soul to Murrit, and even him damaging his computer system after trying to create a Skorpe theme. Dismas tries to present a facade of being a capable, tough troll who has a plan, but truthfully lacks in those departments, something he's painfully aware of.

Relationships

Murrit Turkin

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. However, this may be a form of hate-flirting and it is unknown if this is indeed a recurring part of their relationship.

furbishFacilitated

Dismas and furbishFacilitated are in a moirallegiance. Their moirallegiance is noted to be FF's only known committed relationship.

Albion Shukra

Although the two have yet to interact directly, Albion and Dismas appear to be familiar and friendly with one another. Dismas was notably concerned when he sees Albion acting strangely (truthfully, she was being possessed by her ancestor, who had wished to warn Dismas of "follow credence of the man who spins words like yarn" and to stop "the limeblooded vessel to his heart").

Ellsee Raines

Dismas is one of the few trolls who is actually aware of Ellsee's existence, likely through Murrit.

Trivia

  • Dismas' class is thought to be a Mage.
    • It is stated that a Mage can be described as someone who "benefits themselves with knowledge pertaining to [aspect]". This may refer to the fact that Dismas spends most of his time studying Skulltitans and ways of reaching their downfall. Therefore benefiting himself with knowledge of how the Skulltitans think.
    • A Mage can also be described as "one who receives knowledge from [aspect]". This may refer to how Dismas is aware of Ellsee's existence by being told most likely by Murrit.
  • Dismas' name is also the name of the Christian saint: Saint Dismas. In the Christian religion, Saint Dismas was one of the two criminals who had died on crosses next to Jesus during the Crucifixion. He, according to the Christian religion, had asked Jesus to "remember him" when he had "come into" his kingdom when he died. Saint Dismas is referred to as the Good Thief.
    • This may show a possibility that Dismas may be a Thief or Rogue.
    • The name Dismas derives from the Greek word meaning "sunset" or "death"
  • His Skorpe handle, 'gigantisDebilitation', 'gigantis' meaning Godzilla (a reference to the original international title of the second Godzilla movie: Gigantis: The Fire Monster, as well as being a reference to Dismas' lusus), and 'debilitation' meaning 'weakness' or 'to weaken'.
    • As such, Dismas' Skorpe handle can be said to mean "Godzilla's weakness", or "weakening Godzilla", a reference to Dismas' desire to eliminate his lusus.
  • Dismas' distinctive facial scars appear to be a reference to "phossy jaw": an occupational disease to those who work with phosphorus without proper safety equipment.
    • Murrit has specifically called Dismas "phossy jaw" in reference to that condition.
  • Coincidentally, Dismas' sign can be found on the cover of this book.
