Hi! I’m kind of finally starting to flesh this guy out a little bit (I’ve been drawing him a lot just cause he’s pretty but I finally am getting around to working on the inside of him!) And it’d be awesome to hear what you guys think. I’m incredibly interested in Hinduism after doing a big presentation and research over it for a class and Krishna was my favorite part, I’m fascinated with him, so I’m stoked to create a character with his theme. I’m still working on him (and still reading Homestuck xAx) of course but this is what I’ve got so far. uvu
First Impression: Adorable. That’s a great sprite, and for some reason I ADORE those horns. His blood’s a bit too bright though. Is that on purpose, or…?
I’m basing this fantroll off Krishna, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. Appearance-wise,he’s fairly androgynous, and having thick eyelashes (and eyeshadow). He’s got one ring on his left ear. It’s kind of hard to see (and hard to draw) but he’s got the bangs in the front of his hair, and the back is more pushed backwards, more like Eridan’s? Hm.
Oh my gosh I can already tell this fantroll’s gonna be awesome;;;
Like I said, I love his appearance, and I have to give you props because that’s a really original idea. I’ve never seen any fantrolls like this one so far!!
Name: Murali Ulayad
- “Murali” is one of the many names of Lord Krishna (who I’m using as a theme for this character) and means “the flute-playing lord”. “Ulayad” is another of Krishna’s names, “Dayalu,” which means “repository of compassion.”
Trolltag: inauspiciousBerceuse
- inauspicious- One of the things that Krisha makes a point of during points in his life are that all things are special. (This is also where the peacock lusus comes from)
- Berceuse- French for “lullaby” ..
He’s obviously well thought through. I like it.
Quirk: SUDDENLY i HEARD A SH-SHOUT FROM DAVE FURTHER BEHIND.
- I think that maybe he’s not too great at computers. I feel like he would just… type with individual fingers. And…he leaves his caps lock on but always manages to still hit Shift on ‘I’ so it comes out as ‘i’ all the time. (also i literally went on a website for sample sentences and that was one of them. woah.)
Blood color: Cyan
This however is not an actual blood color? Do you mean Teal, like Terezi’s? If so, tone it down a bit.
Age: ~8 Sweeps
Sex: Male
Sign:
- I wanted a Hindi symbol to use for this guy, and i found this one, which is pretty simple, so i looked into it. It makes the “sh” sound at the beginning of a word and therefore is classified as a ‘retroflex voiceless postalveolar sibilant.’ The ‘voiceless’ bit really stuck out to me since I knew I wanted him to have a quiet and generally low-key demeanor.
Lusus: some sort of peacock
- Re: Krishna and his teachings: Apparently peacocks used to be seen as mundane and inauspicious in India. Krisha thought they were beautiful and stuck a peacock feather in his hair to show that all things were special and should be appreciated.
Please tell me he decorates things with peacock feathers;;;;
Personality:
- I think he’s generally pretty calm and laid-back but gets frustrated due to his stutter with the beginnings of a lot of words, particularly ones that start with ‘sh’ (as shown in his quirk). He doesn’t think he’s all that special even though he’s near the high end of the midbloods. I think with this whole theme, his ego will be very small. I’m probably gonna have to work more on this since I’m just trying to get a little bit of stuff to build on right now.
That’s cute! I like it. I think it’s interesting that, fitting with his theme, he sees beauty in everything but himself.
Hobbies:
-Playing his flute, as Krishna did.
- And so the legend goes: “Once, Lord Krishna asked his devotees what they would like to become in his hands. Some said the lotus, some the conch, some the chakra and so on, but no one mentioned the flute. Krishnaadvised them to become his flute. In his discourse to his devotees, he said that in the human personality structure, as in the flute, there are 8 main spots: The five organs of perception, mind, intellect, and ego. If you get rid of your ego and become like a hollow reed flute, then the Lord will come to you, pick you up, put his lips and breathe through you and out of the hollowness of your heart, the captivating melody will emerge for all creations to enjoy. But if you will continue your attitude of dislike, hatred and jealousy, the Lord will distance himself from you, since you will be useless for his purpose.”
- I think he just really likes to play it to relax.
-Ahhhhhhh……… I’ll think of more once I work on him some more.
Thank you so much! uvu
Wow, this is an awesome fantroll!! He’s interesting and adorable! I hope to see mroe of him after you flesh him out a bit more! Quite the cutie uou
