Troll

## Origins

Glitch Origins | **Warning - Contains triggering topics**

In Troll's past life, they were ~~abused~~ and neglected as a child and adopted a hostile personality to cope with their trauma. At the **age of 11**, Troll was gifted a personal computer from their parents and had access to the internet. They became a troll to further cope with their trauma, unfortunately, it made their situation worse. Troll became isolated from the outside world and hid in their room trolling people on the internet. They kept avoiding the issues and using the internet as an unhealthy coping mechanism, which built up their issues and made their life worse. Troll was at their limit and at the **age of 14**, committed ~~suicide~~. *Like all people who committed suicide*, Troll arrived at the Halls, *a labyrinth where the people who commit suicide can have a 2nd chance at life.* It took 2 years for Troll to reach the exit in the Halls and *like all people who found the exit*, was given a choice. Keep your memories or forget your memories. **Troll chose to forget their memories,** *which is not the choice most people choose.* Troll became a doodle glitch *(Troll was originally a doodle)* and was revived with a faceless face. **Troll forgot their name, face, gender, and any person in their "past life".** All they can remember is their journey in the Halls.

#### Encounter with Virus

At the **age of 16,** **Troll was revived as a doodle glitch.** They came out of the tar pits, *where glitches are born*, and wandered around the Forgotten Forest in the Forgotten Realms. After a few months of adjusting to their new life, they went to the Forgotten City and lived on the streets until they bump into one of the members of Virus, **Hacker**. Hacker and Troll get along right away as they both can relate to each other and their experience with the Halls. After getting to know each other, **Hacker invites Troll to Virus,** *so Troll can have a place to stay and to get more closer with each other.*

## Personality

Troll, as their name suggests, **acts like a troll.** They **taunt everyone they see**. Mostly their taunts are playful banters towards the people they are close to, while taunts directed to people they don't know or hate are meant to keep deep under their skin and annoy them. However, Troll does have a **side where they act like "themselves"** *(as in their past life before they adopted their hostile persona).* **The only time Troll acts like this is when they are with Hacker.**

## Powers

#### Emotion Manipulating

Emotion Manipulators can manipulate the emotions of their opponents, making them vulnerable or reckless. It is a very rare power, and the power comes in many types that control different emotions.

Troll is an emotion manipulator that can manipulate anger, a common type in emotion manipulators. They manipulate their target with an aura that makes them anger, no matter how calm or collective the person can be, making it highly useful against people who are a huge threat in the battlefield. However, **it is ineffective towards people who can't feel emotions at all.**

Troll uses his ability to throw off their opponents, benefiting his teammates. They often stay in the background during combat, to make the opponent not aware that there is a emotion manipulator near, making them angry and confused.

## Relationships

#### Hacker

After **Troll leaves the Halls**, Troll lives in the streets of the Forgotten City. They later meet **Hacker**, one of the members of Virus. Hacker offers to buy a treat for Troll, but first, Troll is hesitant to accept her offer. After a while, Troll finally agrees. Troll and Hacker eat red velvet cake, *which becomes Troll's favorite desert.* Hacker asks Troll where they came from to start the conversation and Troll responds with **not knowing their past** and that **the only memory they know is their journey in the Halls.** Hacker had been the Halls too and they both talk about their experience with the Halls and **they quickly become friends.** After they finish eating and chatting, **Hacker invites Troll to join Virus**, which Troll accepts. Due to their close relationship and Hacker being their first friend, Troll cares for Hacker very much and acts like "themselves" *(as in their past life before they adopted their hostile persona)* around her.
