Changes [Bloodswap Roleplay] [OOC/Recruiting]

[Kattily]

For some reason or another, you find yourself awakening in darkness in a strange hut. You hear groaning around you, but when you try to lift your head you feel dizzy. Maybe you proceed to roll over and vomit. Maybe you're strong enough to resist it. Maybe you can barely even register what's going on. Eventually you hear a voice.

"Finally. Yoa all are awake. I have been waitin' foar several night noaw. Almoast tought tat yoa all had died oan me oar soametin'"

When you finally get your bearings, you find yourself in a room with nine other trolls, and all of you are equally confused. Your only guidance is in the form of cryptic letters written in blue ink. At least... you hope it's ink. You're in the middle of a jungle that none of you know well, and you will quickly discover that you cannot easily find your way out alone.

And then the changes begin. Maybe your hair starts falling out. Maybe you're speaking in tongues.

Then you discover that your blood color has slowly started to change completely.

Rules:

1 ) I am the GM. I run the game. What I say goes. The game will be largely freeform roleplay, though there will be occasional interruptions for set plot events. I will also be playing NPC characters.
2 ) No Powerplaying or Godmodding. If you are doing something inappropriate, you will be asked to stop. If the offense is severe enough or there are repeated offenses, you will be removed from the roleplay and your character will be killed.
3 ) Please stick relatively close to canon. Some aspects of this roleplay break canon completely, but most aspects of homestuck canon are canon in this roleplay. A general rule is that if it would break canon, run it by me first to see if it is acceptable.
4 ) It's suggested that you have a skype account so that you may participate in discussions about the roleplay out-of-character in the skype room and easily converse with other members. This is not a requirement, but without skype you will be somewhat out of the loop.
5 ) PM me your character applications in the traditional homestuck format. Sprites are optional at this point in time. You may not post your application in the thread until it is accepted.
6 ) Follow all forum rules. (And keep it PG-13. If you want to smut, do it in private and don't show us the logs.)
7 ) Please be relatively active. You will be left behind if you aren't. You will be warned for inactivity as I see fit, and if it persists you will be removed and your character will be killed.
8 ) I reserve the right to change or add to these rules as I see fit.

Feel free to ask questions or make comments. ^^. I'm not as mean as some people think I am.

>Be the wannabe gangster chick.

What! You idiot! I’m—I mean, *ahem” Oi’m gonna whack you for dat one, flatfoot!

>Fine, be the badass, hardboiled private eye.

Oi’m SO motherfuckin’ badass! It’s soita hard to believe, y’know?

Your name is SOIDON OCCHIO, and you are SO BADASS, it’s sorta hard to believe. You’ve got a super badass fedora hat and everything, black of COURSE, with real shiny shoes and pinstripe pants. Plus the vest. You’ve got to have the vest. The VEST IS THE BEST.

Well, that’s what you tell yourself. In all honesty, you live a LIFE OF NO DANGER, being cushioned and protected by your LUSUS, an ARGONIAN DRAGON, who is absolutely COVERED with eyes. He occasionally indulges you and allows you to use him to SPY on some random stranger that you convince yourself is some RIVAL MOB BOSS, but most of the time he locks you in your room, err, you mean your OFFICE, and lets you fantasize about going outside and being the best PRIVATE EYE.

As one might expect, your room is full of TROLLOCK HOLMES and PROBLEM SLEUTH shit, both of which you watch religiously. The TROLLFATHER, TROLLS BOND, THE TROLLINATOR… you would call yourself a bit of a MOVIE BUFF, but private eyes don’t WATCH MOVIES. They EXPERIENCE MOVIES.

During your spare time, you sit around staring at your PHONE, waiting for a DAME to call, smoking your ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE (smoking kills, y’know?) and occasionally taking a pull of WATERED DOWN APPLE JUICE your lusus has successfully convinced you is HARD-BOILED WHISKEY. Sometimes you get drunk on pure will alone. When you are “drunk”, you tend to cry while watching Troll Bonds films, screaming about gadgets and writing SLIGHTLY SMUTTY fanfiction about himself and the fifty fucking trolls he has been involved with at some point.

If your BLOOD COLOR ever switched, it would be SO AWESOME. Because that way you wouldn’t have to listen to that PUNK of a lusus, and could go out and get a REAL OFFICE. And take REAL CALLS. And drink REAL WHISKEY. But not smoke REAL CIGARETTES, because you hate the smell, and the taste, and have you SEEN what they do to your lungs? Ugh.

Anyways, you also REFUSE TO ACCEPT that you’re a “DAME,” as you call them, because all dames do is get hysterical and be rescued by super badass private eyes who are also mob bosses and maybe sort of spies as well? But only in their heads.
Wait, no, THAT’S FUCKING STUPID.

Anyways, your STRIFE MODUS is x2 MCHNEGUNKIND, which is considered an absolutely useless kind by many, even though it is designed to lift TWO BADASS MACHINE GUNS at once. This is because they are so ridiculously heavy that most trolls CAN’T LIFT THEM. Well, you have some news for THEM. Thanks to your higher blood color, you TOTALLY CAN move them! The only problem is that when you fire them, all you hit is floor because of both the fact that you CAN’T SHOOT FOR SHIT, and the fact that they always POINT TOWARDS THE GROUND while you stagger around screaming about how badass you are.

Your FETCH MODUS is the SLEUTH MODUS. It keeps hidden from you what items you have in there, and periodically gives you CLUES about which space holds which. Surprisingly, when you are not being an ABSOLUTE JACKASS, you actually are NOT THAT TERRIBLE at deduction, so this modus is one of the few things in your life that actually WORKS FOR YOU.

But anyways, that’d your life—destined to sit in a bare “office,” watching reruns of old mob films and fantasizing about becoming a dashing ROGUE, saving poor dames like you. While you don’t truly think that you’ll ever get an opportunity to become a private-eye mob boss spy person, there’s always HOPE for dreamers like you.

Your trolltag is discontentedAgent, and you tend to speak loike a real motherfucking badass, y’know? Your inquisitive nature is also soita pissin’ people off, y’know? Y’know? DO YOU REALLY KNOW?!

Kosuna Muffel - Araiss. Female Yellowblood.

>Be the short bounty hunter.

dont call me short!.|<ilL



Your name is Kosuna Muffel, and you're a bounty hunter!

...Though that's not entirely true, though you would rather not talk about it yet. You're a yellowblood which makes you pretty low on the spectrum, and you're only 6 sweeps old. Though you know you're young, you still hate the fact that you have such a short stature compared to most other trolls. You wouldn't admit it but you have a terribly bad temper, which causes you to get into trouble at times. You have slowly been trying to get better at it, key being try.

You have a few varying interests, one of which is collecting. Of course you only collect things in the desert you live in, usually going for anything you can sell. You also enjoy doing target practice every now and again, shooting cans from different places to increase your skill. You wouldn't like to admit it, but you have a LOVE for both plants as well as machines. You try to collect plants to decorate your hive with, though because you live in a desert most die out before you can actually enjoy them. As for your love of machines, you can collect nothing useful of that sort because you don't have enough money for something so expensive. Whenever you meet someone who knows about technology you try to find out as much as you can, even if it may come off as annoying.

Now back to that bounty hunting job of yours, you are technically a bounty hunter but you don't get a lot of hunting jobs. Because of your lowblood status, short nature, age, and attitude most of the jobs you get are odd jobs. Tracking down trolls, finding items, cleaning things up, lots of boring stuff. When you do get an actual job you're pretty happy since it provides some sort of money. You don't mind the odd jobs most of the time though, and sometimes try to get work during the dawn and dusk hours of Alternia.

Speaking of those hours some would call you crazy since the sun would just be coming out or going away, but you do this to get money. That and the mask and cape you wear allows some mild protection, but you aren't stupid enough to stay out when the sun is actually in the open. The mask you have is the only type of technology you really have and it cost a lot, and even then it was the cheapest thing you could buy, so it doesn't work very well for what it's supposed to do. It at least offers the protection you need though.

As you've stated before you live in the desert with your antlion lusus. She mostly eats insects, though sometimes trolls just fall in to her trap. But that's okay since it means you can collect their stuff to sell. To help with your job you have revolverKind to help you out with that, since it's easy to kill a troll with a gun. You also carry a katarKind strife card, in case you have to fight up close. You use the treasure tracker modus, in where you need to locate a specific item hidden in some place your modus creates.

Your trolltag is desertHunter and you tend to speak somewhat unsure of yourself...

Litmen Akwenn - Flamerider64. Female Greenblood.

Is- this- where^ I'm- supposed- to^ be^? Okay^, good-.



Your name is Litmen Akwenn, and you have a heck of a past behind you. On first glance, your unassuming smile and posture wouldn't connote that anything rough has ever happened to you, but you've been rendered seperated from your partners as you escaped an otherwise endless struggle.
It is because of this struggle that you fancy yourself one thing, an enemy to all highbloods of a tyrannical nature.
You should probably stress the specifics, we're talking non-seadweller types, and you know what's best for your own sake, you wouldn't absolutely take one on outright unless it was clear that was something you wanted, or even needed, to do. You just hate them enough to do it without hesitation.
You wouldn't underestimate a fighter, but with all the experience under your belt, you are yourself a decent blade swinger.

The mishap goes something like this, you and a bunch of other trolls whom you grew a close bond to often did FLARPing together, like young trolls would do, forming amongst thick and thin. You ran into a group of highblooded trolls, who weren't notorious, but wanted to be notorious, and wanted to start a murderous streak and rule what they could by fear. You weren't the brightest of bulbs at the time, and came close to them under the guise of a friendly FLARP session, which turned out to be a hunt.
You stayed well and truly alive, by fighting and by hiding. Eventually, you overcame your desire to help your allies to the end, and ran with the burden of guilt feeling like a chained boulder.
Thankfully, your hive proved to be a place far away enough and yet unknown by them, and you took the liberty of retreating back to your owl lusus with all the shame on your shoulders. You can't say for sure where your fellows are now, and if they are even still in the land of the living. You know for certain they haven't contacted you, but not why that is.

On the calmer side of things, professions of yours include playing both Violins and Pianos,
something encouraged by your owl lusus, as owls do apparently. As said before, you are also a very much experienced fighter with Bladekind, though whether you're good is up in the air to judgement.
You also fancy yourself to be the well read type, with at least a few good shelves of books kicking about, again, by the influence of your lusus. In general, you seem quite collected and intelligent, your posture and mannerisms are indicative of that.
If the costume looks wierd, don't ask about it, it's an odd attachment you might have picked up from 'the experience', as it were. You can't explain it, no one really can. You do have more casual and supposedly practical attire, should the need arise.

In other news, your modus is the Slideboard type. The cards, and the items within them, manifest themselves as sliding blocks on a flat plane, and getting an item requires moving it to a particular spot outside of the board. It gets harder the more shit you carry, because of all the other things you have to move out of the way just to get an item you want out. You never said the blocks were cubes by the way, just implied they were 3D shapes of a square cornered nature.
You live life the simply way, your lusus hunts food, gives you a share, maybe you go out and hunt some stuff too, it's all good. No need to worry about that highblood arrogance when you're sitting inside, you're not all afraid to go out, but you are a tad cautious, especially in areas of considerable population.

Your trolltag is wisdomWisher and you^ categorize^ the^ letters- at- the^ end- of- words- based- on- their- nature^, certainly^.

Be the creepy owl freak
I am not creepy thank you \/ery much



Your name is Vasich Korsun

Yes ok you like owls, maybe a little too much, but is because to what they simbolize not because you have some creepy owl fetish or something. You love logic, knowledge, wisdom, strategy,etc. Bascially everything owls normally stand for. You take them as symbols of your beliefs, not as the feathery assholes they tend to be. You knwo how dumb they can be sometimes because your lusus is one.

Anyway, as has been said you love logic and strategy and apply it to your day to day life. for this you tend to be seen as a cold, smartass, distard and a little of a bastard when the situations demands it. Yes you can be all of those th9ings proviute the right circumstances, but you that is not how you treat all trolls. For those you think they deserve it. Trolls that prove themself smart, thoughtful,useful to your designs, interesting to talk to and generally not a brutish sack of meat youre caring, listening and comprehensive. Even giving aAdvice. Unfortunatelly these kind of trolls are so few that most of the time you're a formal, cold, efficient, uncaring smartass.

Talking about formality. You're very very formal. and always follow protocol. This of course means following the spectrum. After all you have no reason to challenge it. It has brought order and glory to the empiure for all these sweeps. Not that youre automatically an asshole to every single lowerblood you encounter. Some have proveen to be quite smart and deserving of your full attention. Your personal ranking overrrides the spectrum. As for the rest of them you are distant, straight to the point and formal. You even call them Mr and Ms depending on the case. Following Fleet protocol. As for the higher blood youre polite and respectful. Not that you like all of them. Some are just as stupid as some redbloods.

Your interests include collecting owl related things, like statues, paintings, etc, reading, history specially of the military kind, knowing new things, a bit of programming and math, Strategy gaming, heraldic symbology and the useless but notherless fun act of debating and diplomacy (No, Not the sleuth kind...which you dont know what is and doesnt exist). Your old hive was a castle filled with books, statues of owls and flags of conquered empires, old maps and the such. You also know a little bit about most subjects. Just enough to hold a conversation and do basic things.

Your lusus is a giant owl named Parthenos. He tends to be an idiot but has his moments of lucidity and sudden smartness. Even with his usual dumbness you like him, after all he did raise you. Besides riding him is fun and an excellent thing for red dates.

Speaking more about you. Youre average size, not specially well built but you do have surprising reflexes and agility. Must be those nights playing quick paced RTS. You're never without your shades when in public. Why? Because your eyes are sensitive to light. Normal illumination for trolls tend to bother you a lot. On the flip side you see better in the dark. No, not night vision. You just see things more clearly in low light. Youre not Troll Riddick


You use the flagkind specibus. Yes is not a common thing but you like it. Your weapon is a silver flag, designed to whistand hits and absorb shock. It of course has a pointy tip. Your fighting style consists of blocking everything until you're sure you can make a counter attack. Your specibus is the political colony specibus. Basically you see a flag and have to name the capital of that colony of alternia. You stopped updating its database after 193 colonies. Youre a troll not a supercomputer.

Your tag is glacialGlaucus, your symbol is an owl and Your \/\/ords are \/ery much filled \/\/ith \/\/isdom

[virtuallyGazing]

I'll grab a reservation. Vitrol's profile is en route

[Kattily]

Reservations are not allowed. You are only given a spot if I feel your profile deserves it. I am very picky. I look forward to your application, however. ^^

[virtuallyGazing]

Ah well I sent it.

[Flamerider64]

Now this sounds like something I could do.
I'm coddling together a profile as I speak, and I hope it checks out okay.

[Wycca]

This sounds like it could be really interesting. Putting together a profile right now.

[FubbalyWubbaly]

with this, will the people who are picked draw scenes in the rp as well or will it just be text?

[Nexev]

What... how...

how is this a bloodswap?

Either way i am making a Aertyr bloodswap to subjuggolator.

This is not a reservation, this is declaration of intent.
