http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Terezi_Pyrope - wiki
Terezi was born on the planet of Alternia (which exists in a separate universe to Earth), home to a species known as trolls. Their society is divided into castes based on blood color, with maroon at the bottom and magenta as royalty (Terezi is settled towards the middle with her teal blood). Trolls are highly aggressive conquerors, with the adults exiled from the home planet to work on conquering the galaxy. The young trolls are cared for by creatures known as Lusus naturae, who bond to the individual troll and share their blood color in a mutually beneficial relationship. Terezi is not raised directly by her lusus: hers is a dragon, still in its egg, that sits on one end of the Doomsday Scale (tipping it would mean the end of the world). Many participate in FLARping (Fatal Live Action Role Playing), Terezi included. She previous FLARPed together with Vriska Serket, another troll her age. She renounces FLARPing when Vriska kills and cripples two "friends" of theirs (trolls are unfamiliar with the human concept of friends) Aradia Megido and Tavros Nitram, which leads to a cycle of revenge between Vriska and Terezi. Terezi uses her skills in manipulation to cause Vriska to lose her arm and one of her eyes. Vriska, in turn, uses her psychic abilities to blind Terezi. Her lusus, a species of dragon that is blind until maturity, then teaches her to navigate the world through smell and taste.
The FLARPing among Terezi and her peers dies down, as does the cycle of revenge. She lives her life peacefully (or as peacefully as a troll can live) until she, along with twelve other trolls, is invited to play a game known as Sgrub. The game, though it appeared harmless, actually causes the death of the lusii, as well as the destruction of their planet. All involved are transported to a space known as the Medium, while the rest of their universe is destroyed. The purpose of the game is actually to create a new universe for the players to enter and repopulate.
After completing the game, and as they are about to claim this prize (a place in the universe of their creation), a super powerful version of Jack Noir (an entity found in every version of Sgrub, and an uneasy ally in the troll's session) shows up and destroys their opportunity to enter. They are just barely able to escape to an area known as the Veil, an asteroid chain that houses various labs. From there they come into contact with four human children. They turn out to be from the new universe the trolls created, and are the players of a new session of Sgurb (called Sburb by humans). It is revealed that the version of Jack Noir that attacked the trolls is from the kid's session, with his excess power accidentally caused by some of the kids’ actions. The trolls plan to "troll" the kids and get revenge that way, but then begin to help them and even work together with them in order to try to get a better outcome for both trolls and humans. Terezi grows especially fond of one of the humans, Dave, whose status as Knight of Time allows him to manipulate timelines, including bringing in multiple versions of himself from other, doomed timelines. She is talking with one of the Daves from a timeline that is doomed to fail (thus, a "Doomed Dave") when Jack Noir shows up and kills him. Upset, she runs offs - and finds herself somewhere other than the veil.
Personality:
Terezi perhaps embodies the tropes of an "internet troll" more than anyone else in her species. She enjoys getting a rise out of others, is happily derisive and mocking to any and all, and insistent to get her own way. She is often flirtatious, and sometimes her actions edge on being sociopathic. She is manipulative and observant, and uses this to further troll people. In fact, this manipulation runs deeper than just the purpose of trolling. Her preferred method to solve a problem is to plan it out, to manipulate others to reach the best outcome. She is the strategist in troubled times, who sits back and pulls the strings just so.
However, below that is a troll who actually is compassionate and cares for her friends. Her "trolling" is not entirely malicious. She sometimes crosses lines, but will feel remorse when she goes too far. She does honestly look out for the welfare of those she considers her friends when she can.
She is deeply interested in law and justice (or the Alternian concepts of it), even to the extent of viewing herself as a vigilante. Her views on morality and justice dictate that the guilty should be punished, and the innocent should be protected. There is no concept of defense in Alternian court, and all are guilty until proven innocent. However, she is more concerned with the justice side of things, rather than what is necessarily legal.
Fears: Though outwardly she does not show it, Terezi is actually much more attached to her friends then the average troll. To see them harmed or killed would disturb her, as would seeing any of them go against her view of justice. While she does not mind being blind, it can be safely assumed that she has a fear of losing another sense, especially her ability to smell or taste. Also, any situation that would put her in a position of helplessness, or where she does not have a say would get under her skin. She relies heavily on her abilities to manipulate others: when put in a situation where she was unable to influence her fate, she would likely become afraid, or at least unnerved.
Weaknesses: Terezi is blind. While she does have extra abilities to partially make up for this, it is not nearly to the extent of having a full range of vision - instead, she views the world as a blurry collection of colored blobs. She has a tendency to push limits when talking to others, even if she knows those limits exist. It's not uncommon for her to offend someone. She also has a bit of a stubborn streak.
Mundane Strengths/Abilities: Despite being blind, her sense of smell and taste is developed to the point where it acts a sort of remedial sight. Colors have a distinct scent and flavor to her, and she can use this to roughly piece together her world. She is also fairly skilled in combat, as she has gone through a game of Sgrub successfully, having used melee weapons that were designed into various versions of a cane. One of her greatest strengths lies in her abilities of manipulation of others: her strategy and psychology skills are strong enough so that she is often able to convince people to do just what she wants.
Sensitivity/Magical Ability: From playing Sgrub, she has gained extra abilities. She is known as the "Seer of Mind": this manifests in being able to see (or, in her case, "see") all the future possibilities an action could have, and thus best predict which action to take. This ability will likely reduced for roleplay purposes, if she ever uses it.
Supply List: She wields the Dragon Canekind Strife Specibus - a walking cane with an ornamental red dragon head at the top, which can be taken apart to form two swords, one from each part. She also has a pair of red sunglasses that she wears all the time and a Double-Headed Troll Caegar coin, with the eyes of one of the heads scratched out.
Game Transfers: None!
Sample RP post:
The walls in the Veil were, and always had been, a horribly dull shade of grey that just made the whole place smell like indistinguishable concrete with tar black detailing. Terezi had, by now, had learned to try to ignore the smell of the walls whenever she could. So it wasn't until she was halfway through the entry way that she noticed something was very, very off. The walls smelled of deep cocoa under all that dust, not the usual bland grey. She paused to sniff deeply, then promptly sneezed (all that dust in the air, how could anyone breathe?!). Now curious, she tapped her cane along the sides of the room, on the table, against the dying flowers that lost a few shriveled petals when she did so.
She tapped the cane against her chin lightly. This was obviously not the Veil, and bore no resemblance to the Prospit in her dreams - even if that had been destroyed long ago. The place had that faint, kind of pointless feel to it that implied it was human in origin. That gave no explanation of how she could have possibly been transported into a human's world - that sort of world-hopping was usually big and showy, not just sudden arrival like this had been.
Clearly, it was time for an 1NV3ST1G4T1ON- that is, an investigation!
Before exiting the room, she traced the words "1S 4NYON3 H3R3?" onto the table to the best of her abilities. It was dusty enough so that the words stood out enough to be read should anyone happen to pass by - or at least, that's what it smelled like to her. A futile effort, maybe, or maybe even a dangerous one. But if there was someone that could be of some use to her here, it seemed best to leave some sort of signal that she was here.
But the place smelled empty. It even sounded empty. When she exited the entrance and entered the parlor, it seemed even emptier. All she could hear was her own footsteps and tapping of her cane, and the tick-tock-tick-tock of the large clock. The room had the same mellow, settled smells and colors of the last room, all obscured by layers of dust. Terezi frowned, and began to snuffle around the room. No signs of any recent activity. Just the dull decorum of human's idea of sophistication and luxury, all covered in untouched dust. This was proving to be quite a difficult case.maisondeportes
She paused to straighten her glasses, and grinned. A tough case, yes. But the investigation wasn't over yet. It was only a matter of time until she, Terezi Pyrope, had cracked it (as she always did).
