AU Week 2018: Bloodswap

2018-08-30T15:07:50Z

In this particular Aradia's universe, everyone is shifted forward five places on the hemospectrum. Their Aspects have also been rotated around by the same amount, though their Classes are the same. Aradia herself is Aradia Maryam, a Space player with jade-green blood who was raised by a virgin mother grub lusus. She ascended to god tier during the session, and then proceeded to die a Heroic death during a confrontation afterwards, only for this seemingly permanent death to prove impermanent after all.

Jadebloods have the highest natural tolerance for Alternia's baking, blistering, merciless sunlight, and are the only caste known to produce rainbow drinkers: a type of vampire unique to trollkind. They drink blood and have extremely pale skin, like human vampires generally do, but they also glow in the dark and thrive in midday sunlight when other trolls are sleeping. They also don't need to be turned by another rainbow drinker; if a troll has the capacity to become a rainbow drinker, it happens on its own shortly after they experience violent physical trauma that would otherwise kill them. Rainbow drinkers are very tough and don't succumb to old age, but can still be killed permanently by things like being vaporized in a case of massive psionic eyelaser overkill. (I don't know if that's the level of force necessary to kill a rainbow drinker, just that it's sufficient to kill one.)

Her fully realised Space powers allow her to teleport between the dreambubbles of the Furthest Ring and the meteor hurtling between sessions as she pleases, although she does spend more time in the former than the latter.

She looks mostly the same as Aradia normally looks: very similar to a human teenager with horns, except for her coloration. As mentioned, her skin glows white, instead of the usual cement-grey of an adolescent troll, and the scleras of her eyes are bright yellow instead of the amber colour trolls usually have. Also she has fangs, which is nothing unusual for trolls in general but not a feature Aradia personally has most of the time. Like her usual self, she has butterfly-esque wings as a result of her God Tier, but they're green rather than red to match her blood colour. She can make the wings disappear by changing her clothes, but she hasn't felt like doing that so far.
