Elselanders Profile
Player Name: Mordrid
Player Journal: n/a
Contact: n/a
Character Name: Terezi Pyrope
Age: ~14 years / ~6 1/2 sweeps
Gender: female
Species: Troll, Alternia edition
Appearance: meh
Canon and canon point: Homestuck; end of Act6 Intermission2 (just before meeting Meenah)
History: Linked cause it's long.
Personality:
Terezi's outgoing and a bit of a flirt. She's good-humored and often kind of silly. Her own sense of humor can tend towards the morbid, though, so what she considers a harmless joke may disturb others. If she wasn't already trying to disturb them, that is. She likes to mess with people and enjoys getting on others' nerves. One way she likes to do this is to accuse people of being insensitive about her blindness. (She actually isn't sensitive about her blindness, and sometimes makes blind-jokes herself.) Another is her occasional insistence that she considers her plushies to be alive. She enjoys manipulating people as well as getting under their skin.
She's often grinning maniacally and/or cackling, even if the situation calls for a completely different reaction. This appeared to be a trait she shared in common with her lusus, as after it was prototyped into sprite form it giggled maniacally quite a bit.
She isn't particularly malicious in general, even if she does enjoy a good hanging. Still, she has killed other trolls, usually in sessions of FLARPing. These tended to be through trickery more than through dealing violence personally, but she has also "gotten her hands dirty". The troll mindset towards violence and murder is much more permissive than typical human ways of thinking, and she isn't regarded as particularly violent from a troll viewpoint.
She has a strong sense of justice, and believes she enjoys "orchestrating the demise of the wicked". She enjoys playing lawyer (which in troll society, means judge, jury, and executioner) with her numerous dragon plushies. She doesn't typically seek to seriously harm anyone for wronging her herself; she reserves such punishment only for those who unjustly harm or pose a threat to others. She can still sometimes let things slide that she probably shouldn't, though, out of a desire to avoid actual conflict with her friends. She has shown regret over executing her former friend Vriska, despite still believing that it was just and that she had no other choice.
Powers/Abilities:
Terezi is blind, with completely red eyes. Due to this blindness, her lusus taught her to smell and taste colors. Using this ability she is able to draw (badly), fight with her cane (well), and read non-trollbraille text, among a number of otherwise-mundane tasks that would be far more difficult if not impossible for a blind person. She often claims this ability also allows her to smell lies and such. In practice it always seems more like a figure of speech than anything--or perhaps a false claim meant to unsettle others. The ability to sense lies is more a result of her own intellect than her unusual sense of smell.
Additionally, Terezi is the Seer of Mind. Canon is a little unclear as to what that means, precisely, but so far her use of her Seer powers seem to indicate that the Seer of Mind is able to "see" potential outcomes of different courses of action. She cannot always accurately predict outcomes and she has to consciously try to "see" the possibilities (failing to do so led to at least one of the doomed timelines in canon). She is also resistant to mind control powers.
That takes care of what's abnormal for a troll. Trolls in general are also different from humans in a number of significant ways. They're faster and stronger, with tougher skin, and teeth and horns that can grow back if knocked out. The get drunk off soda instead of alcohol. They also tend to have a writing quirk.

Since her's is one of the more annoying quirks, I'll default to video or audio, and just have a special permissions post for people to opt in.
All homestuck characters have an ephemeral inventory system called a "sylladex". Basically, they have access to hammerspace. Terezi's sylladex interface is scratch'n sniff. Homestuck characters can also equip their weapons to a "strife specibus"--basically, once again, they've stashed it in hammerspace.
Starting Possessions:
Folding metal cane
Red-lensed glasses
Redglare dragon head swordcane
Redglare FLARPing costume
Pyralsprite plushie
Numerous colorful scalemates
Box of colored chalk
SBURB disc 1
As the Officer, she now also has a motorcycle, which she is determined to ride. Fear.
Her pokémon team.
