Name: Goccar Matpuk
Meaning: cog-gear steampunk (scrambles and altered)
I won’t say that the name is “not allowed” or something ridiculous like that, but troll names are usually more linked to other words in different languages that mean something similar to the english word being referenced. Again, it’s not something you NEED to change, just something I thought I would mention!
Also, not entirely related, but it’s hard for me to tell how exactly to pronounce this name as well.
Species: Troll
Gender: Male
Note on looks: paints his face.
Age: 8 sweeps
Blood/Theme Color: brown
The color that you put for his blood in the image looks just a bit dull for a troll! I might make it a little more vibrant/saturated.
Alternia or Beforus (if troll): beforus
Abilities: very, very good with mechanics
Theme: Steampunk, robots.
Chumhandle/Trolltag: CogwheelArtificer
Typing Quirk: THE quick BROWN fox JUMPS ovER the LAzy DOG
What dictates the change in capitals? I would think that every-other word was the theme, but for some reason over and lazy are different? It seem just a bit odd, and I’m not sure if there’s a specific reason for it! Or what the relevance of this quirk is to the character.
Smiles used: 8:) 8;) 8:( 8:’(
Personality: Goccar likes robots, but though it might seem like an obsession it really is not. He paints his face with spilled oil ever since he’s been young and it became sort of a habit. He likes to be in his hive working on silly (clockwork) machines that seem not to have any use but also greatly values his friends and social contact, even though he is mocked oftenly.
What makes it seem like an obsession? And how is it “really not?” Is there anything in particular in his habits that would make him seem obsessive? What thing do others not see that proves that it’s not? Or do his friends just jokingly act like it is?
Also what lead to the painting of his face. Was there any particular reason he did it as a kid? Of course it could have been a thing that he didn’t really think about, like a compulsive thing as he worked. But I’m curious of if there’s any overall significance to it, and how he feels about it, if he feels anything.
Likes: robots, machinery, clocks, art, crafting
I would suggest giving him a few more likes outside of his main theme, unless there is a reason for why he keeps to that one general interest.
Dislikes: when his lusus keeps breaking even though he repaired it just 5 minutes ago, not being able to get the parts he needs, meat.

Lusus/Guardian: mechanical bison that was never ment to be the lusus of a young troll at all. It was a robot made by the Tinkerer to replace the original bison that was killed by hunting highbloods. Against all expectations, it remained working and started to care for Goccar like a Lusus would. It breaks all the time, though.
Keep in mind that if he’s on Beforus then hunting lusi would probably be illegal! So I might change “hunting highbloods” to something like “lusus poachers.”
It would make sense, then, for him to try and construct a new lusus to prove that he still had someone to take care of him, if he is particularly against the idea of being moved into a highblood home and taken care of.
Also, looking down lower, it seems that his ancestor made this lusus for him? Which doesn’t make much sense, as his ancestor would be dead. It might be more likely that he found his ancestor’s creation, for instance, and decided to try and repair it.
Symbol; based on the shape of a bison skull (I hope it’s not too close to tavros’s)
The symbol IS similar to Tavros’! But just different enough that I wouldn’t say you HAVE to change it.
Ancestor; The Tinkerer
Weapon: ? (help?)
Weapon depends highly on whether or not he is particularly invested in fighting/protecting himself. If he’s just using whatever he has lying around, a wrench or other tool would probably be the most likely.
