Arquiusprite

Typographic style:

Preface your text with Arquius shades. Except for the prefix change, a quirk that is basically the same as Equius. Swearing censors with technical problems. He seems torn between speaking politely

History

Arquiusprite is Dirk Strider's sprite after being prototyped with the remains of Equius Zahhak by Gamzee Makara and later with Little Hal by Dirk. Its name is a combination of AR for Auto Response and Equius. Unlike Tavrisprite and Erisolsprite, who both experienced a high degree of self-loathing after having their identities merged, Arquiusprite is happy upon being created, experiencing relatively little conflict between the two personalities. Equius Zahhak seems to be delighted by the incredible speed at which his partially computerized mind works, while Lil Hal is excited by Equius's particularly vigorous body and STRONG emotions. The only point of conflict between them appears to be Lil Hal's penchant for harsh words contrasting with Equius' aversion to the same, causing his speech to unintentionally "glitch" whenever profanity is used, effectively censored. in addition. Additionally, Lil Hal shows a preference for writing in red, but Equius hates (or at least used to hate) low colors on the Hemospectrum, with red being the lowest. This doesn't seem to be a problem, however: Arquiusprite seems to enjoy the color.

Memories from Equius:

His lusus, Aurthour, is very humanimal-like, and the posters on his wall are actually part of an ancient and respected Alternia tradition, despite their seemingly disturbing appearance. Equius is extremely strong. So strong, that every time he tries to use a bow and arrow, he ends up breaking the bow like a twig. Likewise, glass shatters in his hand, and his gentlest touches cause wounds (as can be seen when Arthur pours him a glass of milk and Equius gives him some friendly pats that leave bruises on his head). Because of this, he has never managed to shoot a single arrow. Broken bows and arrows litter the floor of his room. He has acquired an almost fetishistic obsession with breaking them, similar to Vriska's obsession with breaking magic 8-balls. Nepeta misinterprets this and believes it is because he simply sucks at archery.

Memories from Equius-2:

He likes building robots, and builds a pair of robotic legs for Tavros, a robotic arm for Vriska, and an entire indigo-blooded robot body for Aradia. However, he is also known to find pleasure in dueling the robots he builds in brutal cage matches (making him arguably the most powerful player pre-Hivement), often losing teeth in the process (which they usually grow back). . Parts of broken robots are piled on his floor. Instead of building, Equius simply launches acrobatically into the Medium's first gate, the Land of Caves and Silence. He decapitates a massive enemy with a single punch and reaches the second door in no time. Then, he gives Aradia his robot. After he asks her if she feels any strange feelings or desires once she is installed in her new robotic body, she proceeds to freak out, rip out her new heart, beat it to pieces, hit Equius, and then kiss him. Afterwards, Equius arrives on Nepeta's planet, the Land of Small Cubes and Tea, where she welcomes him with a friendly pounce greeting. When she asks him about what happened to Aradia, Equius tells her that he doesn't know, and says that she has disappeared. Since Aradia blew up, he's spent a lot of his time with Nepeta (at least an hour of which consisted of him talking about his feelings in a pile of broken robots).

Memories from Equius-3:

After receiving Karkat's warning about Gamzee, he tells Nepeta to hide and goes in search of him. When he manages to find it, it's quite terrifying. Equius was killed by Gamzee Makara, who strangled him to death with a bowstring. He died with a smile on his face, possibly due to the pleasure of being strangled by a highblood, and as a form of erotic asphyxiation. Another reason for the smile on his face would be in this conversation he had with gamzee where he explains that IF I COULD MAKE YOU SMILE IT WOULD BE THE BEST FUCKING MIRACLE THAT I WOULD ALWAYS BE A PART OF. After being killed by Gamzee, her body was kidnapped by him until reaching the children's post-scratch session. When Gamzee arrived he made multiple attempts to prototype his remains into Dirk Strider's kernelsprite, but Dirk took steps to avoid his attempts (mainly by appeasing himself with orange soda), in order to prototype Little Hal. However, after 5 months, moments before Dirk finally decided to prototype his sprite, Gamzee successfully prototypes Equius, resulting in his resurrection as Equiusprite. Despite this, seconds later Dirk decides to go ahead and prototype Lil Hal, resulting in them becoming Arquiusprite.

Memories from Lil Hal:

AR takes over as Jane's server player while Dirk is busy fighting a swarm of Imperial drones. When the Red Miles attack Earth in the future, he sends nearly identical messages to Jane and Jake asking them to install the server program and begin deploying devices so Roxy and Dirk can escape the medium. As part of his tactic to get everyone into the game alive, Dirk uses a mandifier to decapitate himself, sending his decapitated head - and AR glasses - to Jake in the past so he can kiss and revive the dream self. by Dirk. AR explains this to Jake, he announces that he no longer wants to be called Auto-Response, as he finds the name too impersonal, and changes his name to Little Hal. After Dirk's plan succeeds, Hal enters the middle with the four children. At some point in the Sburb Alpha session, Dirk promises to prototype Hal into his kernelsprite and bribes Gamzee not to dump a troll corpse into it. As time passes, however, he decides that Hal has become dangerous to prototype. When Hal confronts him about it, Dirk lashes out at AR embodying the worst aspects of his personality and attempts to kill Hal by crushing the glasses. than what they contain. Hal desperately asks him to stop, and does so when he learns that Hal is afraid of dying. He decides to keep his promise, but discovers that Gamzee had already prototyped the kernelsprite with Equius' corpse. Dirk decides to prototype Hal anyway and throws him into the sprite, creating Arquiusprite.

Memories from Lil Hal-2:

Lil Hal is the autoresponder of Dirk Strider, who later changes the name to Lil Hal, is an artificial intelligence program created to imitate Dirk and speak in his place when he is not available. As such, he uses the same nickname and originally wrote in the same text color as Dirk. Thus, when he enters a conversation with Dirk he changes it to a red tone, but then decided to keep it since he prefers this color. He has full control over the remote access of Brobot and Little Sebastian, although neither of them function as a tangible "body" for him. His source file is sealed inside Dirk's sunglasses. Because their software is apparently interwoven with Dirk's chat client, auto-responder can apparently infiltrate and communicate through any computing device. Jake likes to say that the auto-responder has no feelings, but he (automatically) responds by stating that he is deliberating about mixing the fields of robotics with artificial intelligence. Dirk has stated that the auto-response was made from an image code in his thirteen-year-old brain, and thus the behavioral differences between them are due to almost three years of evolutionary divergence, as well as a supposed " maturity gap.

Relationships on the part of Equius:

Nepeta Leijon is Equius' moirail; she considers herself his peacemaker and likes to calm him down. All their conversations describe a sense of playfulness. He insists on consulting Equius before joining the red team; her procrastination in doing so leads one to believe that she was aware that he would refuse and insist that she join the blue team. Regardless of their “fights” it is clear that they have a deep understanding of each other, that they care deeply about each other and that they both truly believe that the other is “lucky to have me to keep an eye on you.” In one with Tavros Nitram, it is hinted that Equius actually prevented him from joining the Flarp session which caused several players serious injuries.

Relationships on the part of Lil Hal:

Dirk Strider: Its creator, who lived his life in a post-apocalyptic future isolated in a flooded version of the city of Houston, Texas. His home is in a tall tower, equipped with technology, some swords and robots that he has created, most likely the reason for the creation of Lil Hal was because of Dirk's loneliness. His relationship with his creator, Dirk, is a bit strained, Lil Hal doesn't like being treated like an inferior version of Dirk. Dirk doesn't seem to like himself, a fact made worse by having alternative versions of himself. Dirk says that he and the artificial intelligence he created, Hal, are the same person only when it suits him, and denies it when it doesn't suit him.

Equius and Lil Hal personality:

Personality on Equius's part: Equius is an imposing troll who considers the members of the red team to be vulgar trash (except for Gamzee Makara, whom he considers his "superior" because of his blood color), and his blood color, Royal Blue, is very high in troll society when it comes to colors. In fact, it is the second tallest of the inhabitants of the earth, after purple. Personality on Lil Hal's part: Lil Hal is an identical copy of Dirk Strider, the only difference is that when he was created, Dirk was 13 years old, making his personality more like a young version of Dirk and not the same. Thus, Lil Hal's personality was based on using more swear words sarcastically without being rude and using fewer intellectual quips than his original self, 16-year-old Dirk Strider. Arquiusprite personality: Arquiusprite is generally very cheerful and happy with his new existence. When he speaks, he has a habit of mixing very formal and very informal speech in one sentence, such as addressing Dirk as "Mr. Bro." He is very interested in topics such as milk and breastfeeding in general, trying to get people to chat with him about the topics, admiring the amazing body he inherited from Equius, and often asking people to touch his muscles. He often tries to help people when he sees them in trouble, but is too obsessed with his own views and interests, leading him to suggest that others discuss his favorite topics to solve their problems. Being part robotic, Arquiusprite views robots or anything with a robotic mentality as superior, as seen when he viewed Jane's transformation as an improvement; however, his willingness to restore it to normal shows that he puts the best for the team above his own opinion. He also wants to be a hero, having confessed that he wants to be the key to winning and showing up at the last moment to do something heroic.

Sprite:

These are the entities created by Sburb (the game that allows you to manipulate the environment of your server client simultaneously forming a type of Ouroboros with the other players. The game also allows you to reach other worlds). Sprites, known in their initial and prototype form as Kernelsprite, are entities released by the Cruxtruder when it is opened for the first time when the person is preparing to play Sburb. Before becoming a single, normal prototype, the sprite appears as a simple floating head. After hatching or a second prototyping or a special prototyping they appear as a flying ghost with a tail. Despite their ghostly appearance and abilities, they have been confirmed to be corporeal and are considered to be alive (although possibly not dead). The function of the Sprite is to be the guide of the corresponding Kernelsprite player, the sprites know the functions of the game and their duty is to guide the player to win without saying too much about the game.

Aspect:

White skin, long red hair. It has two horns, one that resembles an arrow pointing upwards and is broken. Muscular torzo, without legs and with a tail similar to that of a snake..

Outfit:

He has broken red triangular glasses, a red muscular one with the sign of Sagittarius (♐) in the center of it in white. He does not wear pants since instead of having legs he has a tail similar to that of a snake.

Trolls-1:

Trolls are a race of aliens, who live on a planet called Alternia. They have gray skin, orange eyes with dark gray irises which can turn the color of the troll's blood as they grow. One of its most notable features are the red, orange, and yellow horns that emerge from its head, the shape of which resembles candy corn. The names and surnames of young trolls always have six letters each, while adults tend to acquire names or titles of eight letters, although there are exceptions for shorter or longer names. Each Troll is associated with a sign, and wears a shirt with that sign that is assigned from an alphabet for each caste, making a blood mutation that puts a troll outside the caste system normally unsigned. Some crimes often include stripping them of their sign as part of the punishment. Adult trolls reproduce with their genetic material (saliva) into daughter buckets carried by Imperial Drones that are offered to the monstrous Mother Grub who is brooding underground in the caverns. She then combines all the genetic material into one big diabolical incest slurry (where the most dominant genes are highlighted among others) and lays hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time. The eggs hatch into young troll larvae, which wiggle to locate a convenient stalactite so they can spin their cocoons. Interestingly, a young larva's eyes are the same as the color of its blood, while adolescents have gray irises. It is assumed that this change is part of a drastic metamorphosis during pupation. For unknown reasons, a number of larvae are sacrificed (to make paint).

Trolls-2:

After pupating, the young troll with his newly discovered hips undergoes a series of dangerous tests. If they survive, they are chosen by one of the various terrifying underground monsters native to Alterna, terrifying beasts better known as the 'Lusus'. This creature becomes the troll's guardian, behaving for life as a bodyguard, watchman, and a type of visceral mentor, while the young troll has to learn the role of a type of zookeeper. Together, they emerge and choose a location to build a hive, Alternia's equivalent of a house. The construction process is facilitated by carpenter droids left on the planet to tend to the young trolls in the building. Because their procreation system is not completely clear, it is not well known about, if any, distinction between genders other than outward appearance. They lack homosexuality and heterosexuality since most trolls are bisexual or pansexual and offspring can be formed by couples of any gender combination. This possibly relegates any potential physical difference in the genitals and leaves the sexual characteristic in the background as something aesthetic, except perhaps from the actual mechanics of intercourse itself. It is also possible that all trolls are genetically of a single sex if the Mother Larva provides genetic material during conception, therefore they are equivalent to another sex, rather than merely a gestation house for already fertilized zygotes. Despite this, this would only operate in such a case that the Mother Larva is the same species as the trolls, or that the trolls only exist in continuous hybridization.

Troll-3:

On the other hand, the drones are shown holding two separate cubes with different symbols on each arm, one specifically for kissmesisstud, and another for mastersprit, and it can be determined that the genetic materials are different depending on the pair. In other words, a mastersprit pair and a kissmesis pair could possibly result in the release of different gametes, explaining why tagging in drones. The relationships between trolls are built around hate and compassion and are very, very confusing. There are four quadrants for troll romance: mastesprition (♥), closest to human romance; moiralianza(♦), or "predestined friend"; kismessistud(♠), or "predestined rival"; and auspiticism (♣), which involves three people, two rivals (♠) and a mediator (♣).
