Name: Nutmeg Liaiso
Nutmeg - A spice known for it's holistic properties as well as being a hallucinogen when taken in huge amounts.
Liaiso - from Laison
Blood colour: #450086

Gender: Genderfluid - doesn't really care so goes with whatever someone wants to call them.

Symbol: User Image

Profile:Nutmeg is a dreamer and avid reader. Inspired by stories of suave rogues and swashbuckling pirates, Nutmeg goes out looking for adventure and has largely turned a portion of the four fronds into their own playground. They have engaged in the making of traps, the art of war and survival in order to be more like their literary heroes. This, on more than one occasion has almost lead to Nutmeg coming face to face with hunts and dangerous lowbloods. These experiences lead to Nutmeg creating a perimeter of traps around their hive to protect them from lowbloods that might think that their hive is a good place to hide or that the highblood inside is easy pickings.

Nutmeg has a weird view of the hemospectrum, on the one hand due to mostly only dwelling within the higher spectrum of trolls, they tend to see lowbloods as no more than animals and those that they get along with are more like pets than people. On the other hand they tend to feel very sorry for the trolls that end up being hunted as he watches from a relatively safe distance. The experience of watching as the life drains from a living thing's eyes is one that nutmeg has come to loath and cannot bring themself to kill things. Because of this, there are very specific traps and contraptions meant to kill small prey for eating or Babllo is the one that hunts for them both.

When not playing out in the four fronds, they spend a lot of their alone time gazing at the stars and trying to map them, being a child it's often not as easy as they would like but it doesn't stop them from being enthralled with space itself. Nutmeg wishes to lead a crew out into space and inevitably fly among the stars, visiting other planets and raiding them and/or conquering them. Mostly because in his brain that sounds like what his story heroes would do.

Though a relatively normal troll, Nutmeg suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Occasionally he'll slip into delusions or hallucinations caused by this, they don't always last long but they do affect him and his interactions with people sometimes. Babllo does her best to prepare for these times as they can lead to Nutmeg hurting themself. The most common effect of his schizophrenia is that he has a voice narrating his life as though someone were reading his life like a book. They've put a name to this voice and claims that it's their second mate, Mr.dayvey jonnes.

Nutmeg is well aware that no one else can see Dayvey and makes no point to correct anyone on the existence of their second mate.

Strengths:
Imaginative - Nutmeg is very good at imagining possible scenarios and subsequently make plans to defend against them, thinking out of the box is something he is good at and has lead to some of his most ingenious defenses.

Careful - Nutmeg is very aware of what goes on around them and the effect their actions might have. This gives them the ability to live longer and potentially keep not only themselves safe but anyone they may want to protect.

Flaws:
Skittish - Nutmeg is not a brave troll, when faced with danger they can't handle it and would likely leave it to someone else while they ran away. As a highblood this might make him appear weak and easy to pick off.

Gullible - Give nutmeg a sob story or any fantastic story and tell them it happened to you, they are very likely to just believe it. This leaves them open to manipulation more often than not.

Weapon: A gun sized cannon.

Appearance: Horns stick up a noticeable amount and bow outward in the middle. A bowl cut that frames their face, bangs are sorta messy. Wears a light gray bandanna and an eyepatch over one eye. Has on a very dark shirt with black and white horizontal stripes on their sleeves. their symbol in their blood color on their chest. Wears really baggy black track pants and a pair of Puma Faas 500 colored in black with a tint of their own blood color

Home:Lives in the four fronds in a hive that looks like a flower growing out of a tree.

Lusus: Babllo is a very large, very fuzzy wasp curled up in a very tight ball. Babllo is a queen wasp but too young to have her own brood quite yet. Generally she just hovers around Nutmeg and looks more like a big fuzzy balloon than any dangerous creature. Babllo, is a careful guardian and observes other trolls. She is the common sense to Nutmegs fanciful ideals. She does her best to keep Nutmeg grounded while trying not to discourage his dreams for the future. She also carefully pays attention to Nutmeg's mental state and whether or not they are going to have a manic episode.

She is very caring for nutmeg, if not a little bit strict. Making sure that they have their fundimentals down before going off on their adventures. When she feels threatened or that nutmeg is in danger, she'll uncurl herself from her ball and reveal her true length as well as a very terrifying and long stinger. She likes to encourage Nutmegs creativity and even enjoys a few of the things he does herself, occasionally she lets nutmeg paint the fluffy parts of her or weave flowers into her fluff, she can often be found with several different flower crowns. She encourages weaving of this sort as it is a gateway to traps and other useful things.

Babllo wants to see her child succeed and take his place as a great troll amongst troll kind. But she also doesn't wish to squash nutmeg's individuality.

Power: none

Crits-ahoy!

I wanna clarify the wording here: "On the other hand they tend to feel very sorry for the trolls that end up being hunted as he watches from a relatively safe distance. The experience of watching as the life drains from a living thing's eyes is one that nutmeg has come to loath and cannot bring themself to kill things." Is this implying that Nutmeg has literally watched trolls die, or is it in reference to having seen animals die and not wanting to see the same for people?

I'd also like to hear a little more elaboration regarding where in Four Fronds Nutmeg lives and how that's impacted them. It sounds like they live out in the middle of nowhere. However, if that's not the case, Four Fronds is a popular highblood tourist destination. Nutmeg wouldn't need to do any hunting if they didn't want to, and would likely run into plenty of normal, non-fugitive lowbloods.

As I'm writing this crit while reading the app chronologically, I'm gonna recommend readdressing Nutmeg's schizophrenia much earlier in his profile. It paints a lot of what I've already read in a new light. Considering schizophrenia is one of, if not the most stigmatized mental illnesses, I'm going to warn you up front that I'm not going to go easy in the vetting process. Please make sure you're researching appropriately. For starters, what sorts of delusions does Nutmeg have? Are their issues with lowbloods part of a delusion? Is their paranoia a symptom? Do they know what schizophrenia is? Are their hallucinations primarily auditory, or do they vary? Do they dissociate?

How does Nutmeg interact with other trolls? They seem sympathetic according to their gullibility flaw. Are they generally friendly, or does their paranoia get in the way? Does their skittishness manifest visibly in their actions, or do they try and put on a brave front? Do they act differently towards highbloods versus lowbloods?

Nutmeg's paranoia and caution seems at odds with their adventurousness as described earlier in their profile, and their lusus section. Babllo seems concerned that Nutmeg is foolhardy and Nutmeg wants to be a swashbuckler like in their stories. They explore woods that are used for prison hunts. At the same time, they booby-trap their home for fear of both low and highbloods, and are described as both cautious and skittish.
