Fantroll posting hours are all hours if you're brave enough.


Aleida XXXXXX

• they/them
• Sign is "Pius," the sign of the free, from the Extended Zodiac
• Knight of Breath
• Lusus is a three-tailed pelagic stingray that... I based off some specific species but I can't remember which one right now.
• Heiress who really, really doesn't want to be an heiress.
• Trying very hard to be a surfer bro.
• Their ancestor has the sign name Khadib, but they rejected it. It's a mess. They're a mess.

Ghurab Coelii

• she/her or they/them
• Sign is Corvus from the "New Constellation Symbols" on suberic.net
• Lusus is a New Caledonian crow with an angler fish light on its head.
• Engineer who has too much time on her hands.
• Has voidrot, will kick ass.
• Her headset is connected to an external battery pack that supplies her with artificial psionic energy throughout the day, to keep her body functional.

I'm working on a third one... >>" But they're not done yet, and probably won't be done for a bit now! I RP both of these trolls on Flarping. (profiles are linked in their names!)

Thank you! :D

Aleida was the only one who came with their lusus design! They were my first "real fantroll", so they set the precedent for this style I used to draw them and Ghurab. Their core concept was "troll who is technically an heiress, but instead spends their time surfing" and I said, "wouldn't it be great if they could surf on their lusus's back?" Ergo, sea pancake. Pelagic stingrays specifically move by "flapping wings" rather than wiggling their little "skirt," and the bird-like motif, I think, fit with the idea of "the sign of the free," so I just rolled with that! They named their lusus "Ray," because it sounds like the most "surfer dad" type of name ever.

Ghurab's lusus was harder. I actually figured out everything AROUND her before I figured out the lusus... Once I settled on her name (comes from the name of Gamma Corvus) and her entire personality & world, I decided I love "small animal made huge" lusii, so I ended up grabbing a crow and making it big. The angler fish light entered the scene because Rinceau is themed after stained glass, so having something light-related fit with that, imo. It took a looong time :')
