Are the trolls ecto-related? Like how the kids are? Does the process take into account the genetic reproduction of a species, and thats why they have the kids 'related'?
Karkat’s group isn’t related to one another. Technically speaking Meenah’s group would be, but the trolls don’t really have a concept of “related to one another” outside of ancestors and we don’t know how they’d be related. Either they’re just a mix of all 12 trolls, or 4 sets of 3 mixtures, or (and I personally find this one the funniest) that Karkat had to pair off his friends and assign them a <3 and <3< reproductive partners.
Why does Jack Noir have a name (in addition to his SS names...) while the other carapacians just have like... titles based on initials? specifically the kids' exiles, since the Midnight Crew and Snowman have names
Because there’s just so many of this guy running around it’d be hard to keep track of him without a few extra names lying around
Can sburb sessions be uneven? And also, if you don't mind two questions, if two sessions were to join later in game, could one have a time player and the other a space player without dooming the session(s)? Thank you.
Before you made a post about the characters with the most influence on the story. If I recall, John, Caliborn and Dirk were among the top tier that you deemed to have had the greatest effect on the story. What exactly has Dirk done that made him qualify?
Dirk actually did a lot to help the sides of evil. He created Lil Hal who would become part of LE while also being the dominate personality in Doc Scratch. He made Caliborn his robot leg which would allow him to escape his sarswapagus and play the game. And he put all those souls into Lil Cal thus creating Lord English himself
Does every session have a Jack Noir? If not, what enemy would a normal session usually face?
Every session has a Jack, but he is not usually an enemy. He is supposed to assist in taking down the Black Queen. Then normal enemy the players face is the Black King
How OP do you feel matching class/aspect god tiers would be? Like the Sylph of Life/ Prince of Doom, etc
It’s funny that you give those two specific titles as examples as they’re opposites following the Inversion Theory. Which makes sense since they’re a healer class/healer aspect and destruction class/destruction aspect
I can't remember if this has been asked before, but was Caliborn aware of Lord English's existence? Was he under the impression that he was Lord English or did he know it was a mixture of himself and others? How did he feel about Lord English?
Caliborn mentions here that he knew what his final form would be but he did not know that he would get sucked into Lil Cal to become LE. At least not before he saw his future self in one of the screens on Locam.
Has Hussie (or anyone) ever said would happen if a player prototyped their kernelsprite with their dream self and their regular self (or vice versa)? Also do you think such a being would have a regular body like a sprite^2?
It’s unlikely that they’d be able to do that since they’d need to be dead or doomed in order to be prototyped
how exactly did trickster mode begin in the first place? what triggered it?
Calliope sent Jane the code for her juju. And Caliborn sent Jake the code for his juju which he sent to Jane as a b. day present. Jane made both of them and they merged together and then trickster mode happened
I thought death/doom wasn't required for prototyping, just notably frequent like many other things in paradox space
In terms of players prototyping into their own sprite evidence suggests that the player would need to be doomed/dead. But yes, normally it’s just something the kernel prefers.
On that note, aren't the names of the Beforus trolls all unused suggestions for Alternia trolls? (As in Kankri was a name suggestion for Karkat, and so on)
Didn't Doc Scratch did technically abuse/exploit Vriska?
Doc Scratch convinced Vriska to do things she later regretted and even helped. He was the one who distracted Aradia and Terezi while Vriska threw Tavros off the cliff. He also convinced her to mind control Sollux and kill Aradia. He exploited Vriska’s violent tendencies to further his own goals.
“Sollux Captor was most likely named from “Castor Pollux” as suggested by Avi. Castor and Pollux were twin brothers in Greek mythology. In Latin, the twins were also known as the Gemini, of course.” - his Wiki page.
