Name: see the naming guide above for tips and help.

Blood colour: helpful for personality and appearance. key to your troll's position in the hemospectrum. to find the hex code for your colour, use colorpicker.com

Gender: take your pick. on alternia, traditional gender roles do not exist, and indeed if there is a bias, it is usually towards girls being more violent and rough rather than the other way around.

Symbol: check the taken symbols in the main thread's troll list before you set your heart on one! if your troll was bred from other shop trolls, you're allowed to use any of their symbols. if you're creating one, please make sure it is simple enough to distinguish easily, and to be identifiable at any size.

Profile: who is your troll? what are they like? how do they think? give their basic personality with an explanation of any thoughts and beliefs that are outside of the social norm. along with this, please include a few hobbies, any goals they have, their views on basic troll life (the hemospectrum and their own place in it) and where they can usually be found on any given night. remember to touch on the strengths and weaknesses that you will elaborate in the sections below, as well as on their relationship with their lusus.

this should be written for your troll's child stage(6-10yrs), rather than containing anything that might happen to them in the future. teen(11-16yrs)/adult(17+yrs) changes and growth can be submitted as an edited profile later on in their life, if or when things change.

Strengths: two minimum, four maximum. think of strengths as things other trolls would admire about your troll, or that help your troll in some way during everyday life. try and keep strengths and flaws balanced in number.
Flaws: two minimum, four maximum. think of flaws as things other trolls would dislike about your troll, or that hinder and hurt your troll in some way during everyday life. try and keep strengths and flaws balanced in number.

Weapon: each troll needs to learn how to defend themselves in combat. what weapon has your troll chosen? it is ok to choose a weapon that has been used by another troll. your weapon must be able to kill another creature, but apart from that, anything goes!

Appearance: what does your troll look like? what hairstyle do they have? clothing/style? feel free to use photo/image references. if you want to design their outfit, please focus on kid stage, and keep it simple. troll outfits only get elaborate once they're adults. remember! trolls have black hair, orange horns, grey skin, and tend to have outfits that are mostly grey and black.

Home: where has your troll chosen to build their first house? locations currently available: forest, city, suburb, desert, mountain, lakeside, plains, beach, cave, swamp, ocean and lake (ocean and lake available to aquatic trolls only). please check the troll info mega-thread in the information subforum for a more in-depth explanation on where you are placing your troll! what does their house look like? what is their aesthetic?

Lusus: what strange creature has taken your troll under their wing? maybe something that your troll might have picked up habits from? how do the two get along, and how has this creature chosen to raise it's charge? if you are uncertain of what to do for a lusus, check out the lusus information thread. as a kid, your lusus will accompany your troll on all trips away from home or, depending on it's temperament, bar your troll from straying too far from it's hive. while your troll will have the freedom to go where they like as a teen, as a child you lusus will always try and accompany you! a troll's lusus must be capable of defending them from the dangers found on alternia when they are a child.

Power: optional. see power section above for more information. each troll can only ever have a maximum of one power.
