I need to keep everything sorted, so why not?
Name: Connie "Chalk" Gerard Species: Human Age: 17, very nearly 18 Handle: whiteLimestone Font color: Default, no matter the chat client. Her eyes are blue, though. Quirk: None.
Strife Specibus: Watergunkind Fetch Modus: Film Reel Native Role: Rogue of Rain Current Role: Seer of Time
Appearance: Small and constantly moving. Likes to wear bright, warm colors. Wears her hair in a ponytail and usually has a jacket tied around her waist. Also has highly visible ballpoint pen tattoos on her arms.
Personality: Fun-loving, a little eccentric, and a movie buff. She prefers to take the pacifistic route whenever possible, which as one can imagine does not work well in a game like Sburb. Is currently suffering from heavy self-blame issues as a result of being the Seer and yet things are still going wrong in the session. The recent putting down of an attempted PK did not help this at all.

Next character!
Name: Icrono Cephei Species: Troll Age: 14 sweeps Handle: casualUcalegon Font Color: Orange (E68900) Quirk: Capitalizes 'u's and turned all variations of 'you' into 'U.' Believe it or not, I made this quirk before UU showed up in-comic.
Strife Specibus: Polearmkind, usually a poleaxe of some sort. Also has lasgunkind, but doesn't use it. Fetch Modus: Standard Issue (12 cards, any item can be removed or placed in any slot at any time, really hard to weaponize) Native Role: Monk of Sound (yay for nonstandard sessions!) Current Role: Prince of Doom
Appearance: Long and lean, tends to wear his uniform because he doesn't care enough to wear anything else. Actually, just have a sprite [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/kis_firebird/Icrono.png[/url]here.[/url]
Personality: He's a jerk that doesn't even try to hide it. He'll verbally snipe at people, give them bad advice without pretending it's good, and generally be a troll in the internet sense. He's also contrary enough to actually be helpful once everyone's stopped trusting him. He pays authority lip-service while flipping it the metaphorical finger behind its back.
On the other hand he can be legitimately caring if you can get him to give a shit in the first place. It's kind of like an on-off switch with him. He either dotes on people (albeit sometimes aggressively) or harasses them without much of an in-between. He's also very, very into moirallegiance and considers it the most important of the quadrants.
History: Started out cautious and timid around higher castes, but eventually grew out of it and into full-on cockiness. Being the stabilizing partner in an early moirallegiance might have had something to do with it. Helped to hide this same moirail from the Alternian conscription fleet when it was discovered that said troll had a very high likelihood of being culled.
Went directly into a very low-ranking military squad whose primary purpose was to perform mass-based attacks with poor weapons and worse armor. Started his first Sgrub session with a squadmate (and auspistice), her matesprit, some people he'd only ever met online and didn't care much about, and his moirail.
Other: Is a surprisingly good cook.

Aaand next.
Name: Julia Gerard Species: Human Age: 21 Handle: waterBear Font Color: Blue Quirk: Skips most punctuation marks, but a few may slip through.
Strife Specibus: Bladekind Fetch Modus: Wheel of Fortune Native Role: Muse of Joy Current Role: Guide of Law
Appearance: Taller than her sister, but build-wise it's like someone took WL and stretched her out. She's all bones and stick-like, basically. Wears cool colors, in combinations of bright and dark.
Personality: Worrywart with a tendency to pace when nervous. Has a stubborn streak that has caused its fair share of butting heads with friends and family. Currently in a very large pickle, so the worrywart bit is pretty dominant now.

Name: Harris Rahose Species: Troll Age: 19 sweeps Handle: societalFlame Font Color: Green (279000) Quirk: Doubles 'h's and 'r's. Saying his own name clearly is an ordeal. Strife Specibus: Dartkind and canekind. For the former he uses atlatl darts, and is very accurate with them. Fetch Modus: Registration Native Role: Bane of Stage Current Role: Ward of Dream Appearance: Tall, very tall, and his horns exaggerate this. His normal facial expression is somewhere between neutral and grumpy. See his sprite here.Personality: Lawful Neutral or Lawful Stupid depending on who you talk to. The rules are everything to him, and he expects them to be everything to everyone else too. He is very loyal to the Alternian Empire, but its recent destruction at the hands of Sgrub has him confused as to what to do now. Gets defensive when anyone reminds him of the aforementioned destruction. History: Was a very minor officer of the Imperial military before he played the game. Served under a disgraced indigoblood who was with him in his first session. In turn, commanded low-ranking ground troops. Played Sgrub with some coworkers at the indigoblood's invitation. Other: Technically he should have an eight-letter title like most troll adults, but one of the people above him and the aforementioned indigoblood denied official titles to anyone below such-and-such rank. He's grumpy about that.

The Barbarian Session: four players plus a butt-ton of doomed non-players. Only the players and one sprite's prototyping are anywhere near developed though. They are all way, way pre-Empire and pre-industrial. They found Sgrub when meteors landed with computers from the ectobiology lab and a note in Snaplock's own writing. Name: Snaplock Sunblood Species: Troll Age: 18 sweeps, not bad for her era and profession. Gender: Female Handle: All barbarian session players use their name, so hers is snaplockSunblood. Font color: Black because IRC yellow is horrible to read Quirk: When typing she misspells pretty much everything and constantly asks for words. When using voice-to-text she doesn't, obviously. Notes: Warlord of the horde. Barely literate. Very much not above using violence and intimidation. Took the meteors from the people who discovered them by force because darnit it's in her territory so it automatically belongs to her! Has a sprite. Says she lost her eye from fighting a cholerbear, actually lost it from a bout of stupidity in her youth. Name: Snowrise Species: Troll Age: 15 sweeps maybe? Gender: Female Handle: snowRise Font color: Undecided, since I haven't decided her blood color yet. Possibly orange? Quirk: Likewise undecided Notes: Second-in-command of the horde. Slightly more literate than Snaplock. Is a telepath and likes doing things with subterfuge. Eminence Glasseye: Species: Troll Age: 20 sweeps Gender: Male Handle: eminenceGlasseye Font color: IRC green at the moment. Quirk: Replaces 'i's with |. Talks rather flowery at times. Notes: Not actually a barbarian. Is the leader of a city-state port town that is very wealthy from trade. Snaplock's horde winters over in the city, and since he tipped her off to the meteors he was able to play it the game. He thinks seadwellers are absolutely fascinating and collects them. Most literate of the lot, being an administrative-type leader. Name: Arsonist Species: Troll Age: 11 sweeps Gender: Male Handle: Arsonist Font Color: Red Quirk: Only uses voice-to-text and text-to-voice. Notes: Basic member of the horde. Won the right to play the game by fighting it out with the others who wanted to. Is highly superstitious, easily confused and completely illiterate (the last is common in the time period he's from). He's mildly pyrokinetic, but the horde just thinks he's really good at setting things on fire. Is occasionally picked on by Snaplock because he defaults to "burn things" when confused or worried. DEAD Name: Icemount Species: Troll Age: ~600 sweeps Gender: Male Handle: eminenceGlasseye Font Color: Purple Quirk: Puts ".oO" at the end of his lines. Notes: One of Glasseye's seadwellers. Struck a deal with the Time Denizen in order to save the lives of the remaining seadwellers, particularly a pre-pupation grub. Did this by replacing Arsonist in a notably lethal way. Is very calm. Name: Ninetinesprite Species: Game mechanic Other: Was made when Snaplock threw one of her predecessor's horns in the seizure kernal. Said predecessor was Immortal Ninetine, a greenblood who got his first name by basically living a very long time without showing any signs of old age. Was 45-ish sweeps when he died of an infected battle wound. His second name was from his horns, which had five tines on one horn and four on the other. His death really shook up the horde, since by that point they were thinking he really was immortal.

Name: Albire Denebo Species: Troll Age: 16 sweeps Handle: missingGuest Quirk: Turns 'o' and 'oo' into OO. May eliminate vowels following 'o's.
Note: He's only on the IRC yet
Relevant information: Albire's horns curve around his head in such a way that if left alone they would pierce the back of his skull and kill him. He has to cut them back to prevent this. In his youth, he tried all sorts of stuff to stop them from doing that. This ruined his health and to prevent culling he fled the conscription ships and lived as a feral adult on Alternia for eight sweep before Sgrub happened.
He is frail, has stunted growth, and his horns have very little feeling in them. You could probably snap them off in the middle with the application of a blunt object to them, they are so brittle. Because of how long he has been isolated, Albire is very awkward around people. He gets spooked if things get too loud or too crowded, and doesn't get some norms like not interrupting or appropriate conversation topics. He acts the omega, submissive and deferential. Unfortunately, he also panics easily and doesn't know how to fight nonlethally.
He's also somewhat cannibalistic, sadly. Food was a premium during his isolated times and he hasn't yet shaken the notion that if you're going to kill someone you might as well make use of all that meat.
