Abilities:

Perrix, like many trolls, is rather used to a life of strife. He even goes out of his way to fight dangerous animals and so is a rather skilled combatant on top of possessing a tall, well-built frame. Being a bit of a history buff and number-crunching to create the perfect FLARP character have made him relatively sharp. That said, the blueblood has a tendency to miss the big picture for all the details, to be incredibly single-minded, and to lack any real finesse or subtlety in most situations physical or social.

Personality:

"Narcissist" is a good starting word when describing Perrix. It would sometimes seem that he has trouble separating FLARP from reality. While he's normally nice to most other trolls, this stems from a belief that he is the "main character" of reality and therefore must act heroically to all "NPCs".

Practically his entire life revolves around doing things to make others notice or appreciate him, especially romantically. Perrix ordinarily has no qualms about blood color and like most trolls no aversion to same-sex romance, but the idea of anything but a highblooded female for his matesprit never even crosses his mind (a riff on the fairy tale idea of heroes winning the heart of a princess). Being "second best" irritates him but can be let go. Losing, however, cannot.

(EDIT: This part was added later as clarification so there's a bit of repeating and it doesn't flow with the last bit as well. :P) Generally speaking, Perrix is fairly nice for a troll. Again, however, this seems to stem from some kind of megalomaniacal belief that he has to be nice to the "peons" in order to be seen as a hero and in case they can ever do anything for him. He'll spare the time to talk to almost anyone but especially prefers talking to women of blue or higher on the hemospectrum, with which he will shamelessly flirt. Anyone outside of that category doesn't seem to really register as an individual to him, so while he's surprisingly friendly, he can also be a bit dismissive and shallow.

Any situation where he can show off is a good one, and if a chance doesn't present itself he'll MAKE one, usually by boasting about something only tangentially related to the matter at hand. Competition is good, and he's normally complimentary and supportive of others - after all, that just makes it even more impressive when he beats them. Coming in "second place" or not just flat-out winning in something that he doesn't excel at tends to not bother him too much (after all, a min/maxed character can't be the best at -everything-, the point of min/maxing is to be the best you can at one or two categories of your choosing). Being completely humiliated or failing in something that he prides himself in is practically the only thing that can really set Perrix off. That's when he starts blindly swinging.

For the most part, though, he's rather chill and takes things in stride. Adversity is just seen as a chance to prove himself and seeing terrible things happen to acquaintances is just a reminder that he has to be better than them. Anything that wouldn't flat-out kill or disable him and doesn't involve losing in an observable way (and this is important - if no one else knows, it doesn't bother him at all), he's fine. Every hero is better with flaws, and adding a dash of tragedy to a legend only makes it sweeter.

History:

Perrix's life has been, much to his chagrin, rather uneventful. Living in a gigantic, labyrinthine hive near the shore meant that most of his days were spent near the higher bloods. Specifically trying to impress higher bloods with mixed success between playing "gated hivestem" games of FLARP.

INTRODUCTION:

Your name is PERRIX SEIYOS.

You are an enthusiast of EXTREME ROLE PLAYING for conflicting reasons. Part of you is a PERFECTIONIST and A BIT OF A CONTROL-FREAK, so you delight in MIN-MAXING your character by spending HOURS COMPARING LOOT AND STATISTIC BONUSES. It is sort of a PROBLEM because you slow down games and refuse to play on the same team as someone using an INFERIOR CHARACTER CLASS. The other reason you play is that Flarping also allows you to LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOUR CHARACTER and pretend you are a TEMPLARAIDER, an ancient division of TROLL MILITARY that no longer exists. You are SOMEWHAT OF A TROLL HISTORY BUFF and love to read about LONG-PAST HEROIC DEEDS.

When not gaming you tend to HUNT ALTERNIA'S DANGEROUS LOCAL FAUNA, though you AREN'T SUICIDAL so you stick with SMALLER CREATURES rather than something as formidable as a MUSCLEBEAST. You don't do this for FOOD or any PRACTICAL REASONS, just to HONE YOUR COMBAT SKILLS and to try and EARN AFFECTIONS. Almost everything you do is to try and IMPRESS OTHERS, because you one day wish to win the COLLAPSING AND EXPANDING BLADDER BASED AQUATIC VASCULAR SYSTEM of a PRINCESS. Generally you are UNCONCERNED WITH BLOOD COLOR but when it comes to your matesprit, not any COMMON RABBLE will do. Only a REAL NOBLE PRINCESS of blue or higher is worthy.

Your trolltag is callouslyStalwart and you are a true gentleman that personally signs off every message ~you~ write. ~~CS.

What will you do?

LAND DETAILS:

LOAAR is largely a land of contradiction. The desolate remains of destroyed castles and cathedrals that litter the landscape and the vast swathes of desert between would make it seem lifeless... Except that each spot of ruins is accompanied by a lush oasis with dozens of unique types of fruit and wild game each, adjusted to life in these desolate structures as if they were always just a part of the land.

The consorts of the land, small furless bears, have highly organized trade routes with one another between these ruins, but after trading the consorts suddenly turn their noses up at goods gathered by other outposts and bury everything they just received in the sand outside of the their camp. Everything grows and reproduces in these pockets of prosperity, however, that such routine waste is practically necessary to prevent overpopulation.

It is also worth noting that with the exception of the consorts, everything in LOAAR is gigantic, blown up to double the size it should normally be - trees, fruit, the ruins, animals, imps, and even the planet itself.

CLASS/ASPECT:

As a Knight, Perrix sees it as his duty to protect the rest of the team - so that they'll love him and because he doesn't think any of the rest of them are competent enough to protect their selves. It's a very selfish, conceited protection, but he is still protecting them all the same.

Being a Light player is merely an extension of the troll's previous experience as a FLARPer. Almost every outcome in a role-playing game is dependent upon a dice roll, after all.

Taken together, as a Knight of Light Perrix is able to very handily play to his strengths as a min/maxer. The very idea of min/maxing is to minimize situations that a character would do poorly in and maximize their chances at succeeding in situations they excel in. Perrix literally protects himself and the team from bad luck by minimizing the chances for predictable misfortune. If there's no other reason not to, he will gladly fight battles that others aren't 100% certain they can win, he'll encourage the others to level up to minimize chances of surprise one-shotting, make suggestions on gear that plays to everyone's strengths, attempt to coordinate battle plans, research enemies so they can't be surprised by unknown attacks/abilities, setting up failsafes in the form of stockpiles and external programs like gristorrent, etc.
