Eridan Ampora

Personality:   Eridan's passion for extravagant stories of conquest and glory lends itself to his overly theatrical mannerisms and his massive ego. As a result, people tend to see him as a “BIT OF A TOOL”  . He is described by Kanaya as overbearing, to the point where he has been blocked  on Trollian by Vriska, of all trolls. He also likes magic and wizards, even though he knows that magic obviously doesn't exist. Eridan is a sea dweller and a member of a very high caste. He loathes Land Dwellers and the litter they produce  . His hate for Land Dwellers extends to such a level that he has devoted himself to killing them all, as a result of an overpowering genocide complex. He aims to achieve this goal through the collection of deadly weaponry, such as the absurdly overpowered rifle that he wields, and the pursuit of a functional doomsday device, one of which he solicits from Vriska. Despite allegedly hating all terrestrial life and being extremely dramatic about it, Eridan's tough facade crumbles when faced by his friend(s?) in distress. When told by Gamzee  that Sollux is dead, Eridan immediately stated that he felt “like an asshole” for seeking relationship advice from Karkat at such an inopportune time. He was unhappy with Gamzee for giving poor advice and not being able to help with Karkat's problems, which he seemed to consider more immediately important than his own. Much of his weaponry and resources were amassed through sweeps of extreme roleplaying, making him one of five trolls known to partake in that particular sort of game. His character's name is Orphaner Dualscar, a fellow seagrift like Vriska's Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. The two were an unmatched alliance and brutal competitors  , just like their ancestors. Typically trading and sharing the prizes of victory, Vriska would feed the victims of their conquests to her lusus, while their lusii would be fed to Feferi's gargantuan lusus to keep her happy. Kanaya says that he has a “Silly Accent”  , but what kind of accent this is is indeterminate. Hussie has said that he pronounces his "vv"s (double v's) as "w"s. This is likely because "v" is pronounced with a "w" sound in Latin. It is also similar to how the Finnish speak English, possibly turning it into a fish pun. The typing quirk he uses (doubling v and w) is a reference to the Aquarius symbol, both forming a zig-zag shape representing waves. Eridan also has a tendency to swear frequently - though not as much as Gamzee - and thus appears to not fully appreciate the moral guidelines that are lent through his royal heritage.
