Description
So I did a better picture of Rangda while trying out some new things in SAI. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Criticism welcome as always. I was skeptical of this at first, but I like how it came out. The only thing I'm concerned about is if I used too much color. Then again, it seems like higher blood colors get a bit more elaborate.

Also, I'm aware that all chat handles in Homestuck are abbreviated with some combination of G, T, A, and C. However, to avoid confusion during RPs that may involve canonical characters, I don't adhere to this, even though I try to stay as close as I can to acceptable manipulation of the lore. Rangda's original abbreviation would have been CC originally, which would have been confusing if I started talking to a Feferi over Pesterchum.

I also updated her bio a bit, but I'm not sure what class/aspect to make her or what her planet should be, so I'm happy to hear suggestions.

Bio

Your name is RANGDA ESURIA. By birthright, YOU ARE NOBILITY, highest of the LAND-DWELLERS, second only to the SEA-DWELLERS.

One thing many notice about you is your LARGE STATURE, standing HEAD AND SHOULDERS above other trolls. Another is the fact that you have COVERED HALF YOUR FACE WITH A MASK.

Your lusus is an enormous SEA SNAKE THING. She taught you many skills, some MORE USEFUL THAN OTHERS.

Most of your friends and acquaintances know you to be fairly pleasant, optimistic, and MIRTHFUL. You enjoy MAKING JOKES and DEADPAN SNARKERY, but you almost never AUTHENTICALLY ATTACK ANYONE...unless THEY DESERVE IT. You are OUTGOING and generally don't concern yourself WITH THE HEMOSPECTRUM.

One day, you suspect you will BECOME A SUBJUGGULATOR, but you DREAD THAT DAY. Your blood color lends you to insanity, violence, and in your case, HUNGER. Most trolls of purple blood also JOIN JUGGALO CULTS, but you have never concerned yourself very much with religion. You read about the MIRTHFUL MESSIAHS, but you are largely ambivalent on spiritual matters.

Until the past couple sweeps, you've hungered for FLESH more than NORMAL FOOD. You ate several other grubs after your wriggling day, and used to BITE YOUR LUSUS till she SLAPPED THE SHIT OUT OF YOU. You used to use FLARP sessions to ACQUIRE FOOD. You would EAT DEFEATED TROLLS WHOLE. You have a basement full of the BONES OF YOUR PREY. You even ATE A FEW LUSII.

However, Serpentmom and your moirail put a stop to it sweeps ago, and since then, you have ABSTAINED FROM ALL MEAT. While you DON'T FEEL THE HUNGER ANYMORE, you live in constant FEAR OF A RELAPSE. YOU LOVE YOUR FRIENDS. And so, you take preventative measures. You SMOKE ALTERNIAN HERBS that help to MOLLIFY YOUR PSYCHOSIS. When you know you'll be around other trolls, YOU COVER YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH with your facemask, which also SUPPLIES CONSTANT SMOKE that HELPS YOU CONTROL YOURSELF as well as DULLING YOUR BARKFIEND-LIKE SENSE OF SMELL. Another reason for the mask is that you FEAR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN if you caught a scent of TROLL BLOOD, or worse, if some GOT IN YOUR MOUTH. Also, the MASK MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE AN EVIL CYBORG which is pretty cool.

You do not know if the HUNGER is a PHYSICAL DRIVE or mere INSANITY. But you know this; the more flesh you ate, the STRONGER YOU WERE. You suspect this may even be the reason for your OUTSIZED STATURE, and you are LESS ADIPOSE with your NEW DIET.

Your RELIANCE ON YOUR MOIRAIL is VERY STRONG and you are NEARLY INSEPARABLE. You do ALL YOU CAN to ENSURE HIS SAFETY, not just out of MOIRAILLEGIANCE, but also so that he can continue MOLLIFYING YOU. But all the same, with his exception, you TRY TO MINIMIZE your PHYSICAL CONTACT with OTHER TROLLS, even going so far as to LIVE ON AN ISLAND. Thus, WHILE YOU APPEAR WELL ADJUSTED over Trollian, you can come off as SHY AND LESS SOCIABLE in person. This is from a combination of ISOLATION and fear OF YOURSELF.

Your interests include MUSIC, which you find also helps to SOOTHE YOUR RAVENOUSNESS. In particular, you enjoy PERCUSSION CYLINDERS, as playing them involves STRIKING THEM WITH STICKS. Except you're NOT VERY GOOD AT IT.

AVOIDING FLESH IN YOUR DIET also means that you STARTED GARDENING, utilizing your island's LUSH SOIL to feed your BOTANACREAGE. In fact, between all the different measures you take, you DON'T NOTICE THE HUNGER ANYMORE, and while PLANTS TASTED BLAND at first, you know how to PREPARE THEM WELL.

Water in general COMFORTS YOU, and this is why you also enjoy DIVING. Your lusus taught you many things, including HOW TO HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR LONG PERIODS and how to SWIM VERY WELL. For this reason, you don't WEAR A LOT OF CLOTHING, so that ANY TIME YOU LIKE, you can JUMP IN THE WATER.

When you dive, you often find COLORFUL ROCKS, CORALS, AND PEARLS. You collect washed-up seashells, and you arrange all these items into a PETRIFIED BOTANACREAGE.

Your strife specibi are a MASSIVE MEAT CLEAVER and a MEATHOOK ON A CHAIN. You use the FORMER UP CLOSE and the LATTER AT RANGE. The irony is not lost on you, but you actually began using these weapons AFTER QUITTING MEAT. You find these weapons very natural, and in a poetic way, you feel CONTROLLING THEM helps you to CONTROL YOURSELF.

Speech

You use PROPER PUNCTUATION and tend to CAPITALIZE EACH WORD; you must always be precise and control your speech, just as you CONTROL YOUR APPETITE AND DIET. You begin your sentences with V^^V which looks like your mouth.

However, if you are feeling particularly awkward, such as when WITH REAL-LIFE TROLLS, you sometimes mumble.

If you ever LOST YOUR MASK and WENT BERSERK you'd probably start SCREAMING AND GROWLING LIKE A BEAST, and spouting a lot of INCOHERENT BABBLE amongst VERY LUCID THREATS OF VIOLENCE.

FA: V^^V Hello, Human.
MM : Sup
FA: V^^V You Do Not Know Me, But I Wanted To Make Your Acquaintance.
MM: If that's what you want
FA: V^^V I Am Afraid I Am Not The Best At This Sort Of Thing. Introductions, I Mean.
FA: V^^V Given What I Have Observed About You, You Will Be Pleased To Know I Am Female.
MM: You're right about that girl
FA: V^^V But I Am Very Tall.
FA: V^^V And A Troll.
MM: I'm always happy to talk to girls, dancin' down on sunset strip
FA: V^^V I Do Not Understand.
MM: It's all good girl, let it rock
FA: V^^V I Like Rocks. I Have Many.
FA: V^^V I Have Built Up Quite A Petrified Botonacreage.
FA: V^^V I Like To Swim And Find Colorful Things In The Sea.
FA: V^^V Actually, Part of Why I Wanted To Speak To You Was Our Shared Interest In Horticulture.
FA: V^^V I Grow My Own Food. You Do Not Seem Surprised To Speak To An Alien.
FA: V^^V Um. Am I Talking Too Much?
MM: Well first of all you ain't the first 'alien' to message me
MM: Second of all I don't believe you
FA: V^^V Understandable. But I Am A Troll. I Have Horns And Everything. Am I Being Weird?
MM: Don't worry, girl, yeah, I like growing peppers
FA: V^^V Are Those The Red Tapered Burning Fruit?
MM: Yeah girl it's reign of fire up in here

The Venatrix

Your ancestor was THE VENATRIX. But she was known by other nicknames; THE DEVOURER and THE HEDONIST. Like THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD, she was CAPRICIOUS AND VIOLENT. Unlike you, she was a DEVOUT JUGGALO.

It was said that she COULD FIND ANYONE, ANYWHERE. It may have TAKEN HER A LONG TIME, but she would TRACK ALTERNIANS FOR TENS OF SWEEPS if necessary. She would take ANY EXCUSE to kill and eat OTHER TROLLS, and thanks to the Condesce's method of tyranny, SHE NEVER WENT HUNGRY. NO ONE COMPLAINED when THE DEVOURER made stops for snacks while ON THE HUNT. Well, they MAY HAVE complained. TEMPORARILY.

She was called THE HEDONIST for her penchant for RANDOM FLINGS both RED AND BLACK and for her tendecy towards UTTER INDULGENCE when not ON A HUNT.

As a subjuggulator and a purpleblood, she was NIGH IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. However, HER INSANITY WAS DIRECTED and PRECISE, where as THE GRAND HIGHBLOOD was more given to GENERAL MASSACRE. Like you, she was also PRETTY DAMN BIG.

You are DEEPLY ASHAMED and to an extent AFRAID OF YOUR ANCESTOR, even if she NO LONGER EXISTS. She makes you think about WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Rumor had it that THE DEVOURER could also TAKE ON THE APPEARANCE OF ANYONE SHE ATE, or even GAIN THEIR POWERS or KNOWLEDGE. You don't think this is true, as you've never GAINED ANY POWERS. Still, you DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.

As her descendant, you wear the VENATRIX'S SYMBOL. A long time ago, you REFUSED TO WEAR IT, but like your present STRIFE SPECIBI, you feel that wearing it is helping you get control over your fear of her.

It is said that the symbol represents her MOUTH AND FANGS CONSUMING THE WORLD. You think it looks like a WEIRD HAPPY FACE, though.
