Thanks. I guess some odder backstories and quirks behind the dancestors should be seen more. I don't want them to just be "there."

Speaking of which, I have one for Ixiion, but it is probably going to be bending canon to near breaking. I'll tell you anyway and see what you think.

Now, Nextilu (inverted Correspa) is an odd planet. Once a troll is about a sweep from adult status, they are taken to see their ancestor's work place or if they are high enough on the spectrum, their actual ancestor proving they haven't done something stupid. Ixiion is high on the spectrum as was the Headsman except known as the Mirthful and in some hushed tones, the Faithful. He was extremely old and frail when they met and well...it was eventful.

Growing up, Ixiion loved the Arbalinstigators and wanted to be a headsman, you know, following in the footsteps of his ancestry. Well... it turns out that before SGRUB came into the picture, Ixiion was taken to see this legendary bastard and was very disappointed. As soon as they met, he was greeted "mIrThFuLlY," his face was painted, and the Faithful basically told him to enjoy his sanity while it lasted and that Ixiion would end up as a miserable old clown like him.

This didn't sit with our beloved Rogue of Mind so he ran away. Angered, the Faithful began to send his kin to "check up" on Ixiion. Afraid of his death by their hand, he ran away with his lusus, Vladmir and for awhile lived with Carina. It was here that his confidence in himself shattered and he began to hide himself. He sawed off the light parts of his horns, filed down the stumps, and painted all of the symbols on is shirts gray. He even began to wear his hair in a messy ponytail (reminiscent of Charon's) to hide his face.

The only place he felt confident enough was Prospit and all through SGRUB he was almost dead weight as he wanted to just sleep. Well, he was killed eventually (by y0*u kn0*w wh0* in a fit of rage) and ascended as the Rogue of Mind.

Well, the scratch happened, Howlan blew them all to bits, and BAM, he lived in the dream ocean for thousands of sweeps. As this happened, he watched Correspa and more specifically, Charon. Through the MM phase, Ixiion hated him. However, when Charon began to change into a respectable troll, Ixiion was stunned and moved to embrace that lifestyle once more. So...he stopped acting like a mopey idiot and regained poise vowing to never take any bullshit or let his monocle get dusty.

This led to the Ixiion we see now. You described him best, a badassed gentleman. :)

Is this too over the top or should I leave it?
