Hey, may I interrupt? (This is my first time out of the Forum Adventures.) Can you guys tell me if I've got this right?
Name: Aquill Lazair
Handle: stabilizedParadox
Blood Type: #7f0000
Typing quirk: +[Types positive and negative around his sentences (begins with positive for happiness or sincerity, negative for grumpiness or sarcasm,) uses correct grammar.]-
Symbol: Cross-heir
Strife Spectibus: Footkind (Martial arts)/Signkind (Street signs, wielded like a polearm or staff.)
Lusus: Three-headed Chimera (The lion head corresponds to Aquil)
Kernelsprite: Chimerasprite
First Prototyping: Motorcycle Outfit
Second Prototyping: Lion Head
Medium: Land of Paths and Fog (Road-world, covered in highways and parking complexes; heavily foggy.)
Background: His lusus took in three young trolls instead of the usual one (a chimera thing?) so he has 'brothers' outside of the 'incestuous slurry' sense. He lost a chunk of his left horn in an accident involving his brother Jharek and a brick column, and he sanded it down afterwards.
I've got a traditional drawing on the way, but I wanted to get this up already. I'm happy to roleplay and stuff, if no one minds.

Looks fine to me, Maxfield. Nice troll. I was actually considering creating a chimera lusus'd troll myself. xD
Also...
AV: Did someone mention kismesissitude?
AV: I am so happy for the two of them. That is so EXCELLENT!
Feel free to hit me up if craving action of the roleplay sort.

Your name is HEPHES NERGAL.
You are a total pervert, however contrary to your trolltag you make no effort to hide it and are an INCORRIGIBLE FLIRT, though you are NOT ALWAYS PARTICULARLY GOOD AT IT. Beneath this however you are generally a nice guy and are friendly and optimistic about almost everything. You have nothing against guys in general but tend to become EXCESSIVELY DISCONCERTED when you accidentally hit on other guys, an event which is extremely common due to your impulse to flirt with anyone you chat with. Due to this tendency you GENERALLY PREFER TO TALK TO GIRLS, as it makes you feel more secure. You have learned to be more courteous in person, however, after sustaining an AESTHETICALLY PLEASING but EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL EYE INJURY as a result of excessive flirting in the wrong place at the wrong time, an event that has left you nearly blind in one eye but which gave you an AWESOME SCAR.
You do have a VARIETY OF INTERESTS other than FLIRTING including, among other things, TROLL CHESS, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Earth game that by pure coincidence it shares its name with, writing UNDULY CONVOLUTED but at least in your opinion INCREDIBLY EPIC STORIES, and AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY THAT IS IN NO WAY INAPPROPRIATE. Should any of these interests or anything else interesting to you be brought up in conversation you often immediately cease and forget all about FLIRTING to talk about the aforementioned interesting thing at ALMOST ANNOYINGLY GREAT LENGTH, barring the occasional impulsive INNUENDO.
Your strife specibus is CAMERAKIND and your fetch modus is DATING SIM, an appropriately unnecessarily complicated fetch modus involving wooing the captchalog card you wish to access. Your symbol is a heart with an arrowhead sticking out of it at a 45 degree angle, similar to the symbol for Mars. Your lusus is essentially an enormous male chicken. Your trolltag is surreptitiousPervert and you ;) speak in a very expressive manner, and always in complete sentences ;)
