Name: Sempur Livora
From sempurna, Indonesian for strict/perfect, and Mellivora, the genus of the honey badger.
Sempur is also a pun on the Marine Corps motto Semper Fi, score!
Blood colour: [#000099]
Gender: Male
Symbol: Akofena!
Personality: The first thing you should know and will very quickly learn about Sempur is that he is absolutely obsessed with the troll army and furthering Alternia's conquests. He takes great pride in the bloodthirsty warrior culture of trolls, and dreams of entering the army and becoming the perfect soldier, looked up to by all. Sempur goes to ridiculous lengths to perfect himself, surprisingly focused more on the showy, disciplinarian side of the military. He can often be found practicing drills with his poor, whipped lusus, hammering away on his snare drum, and you can bet Sempur doesn't just walk—he marches everywhere, carrying himself with such pride and stature that it's really kind of ridiculous.
But Sempur enjoys the looks, reveling in being the center of attention and leading. He's extremely overbearing, not just pushing himself to be the model troll, but also jumping on any chance to whip others into shape, provided they are lower in the caste. When it comes to higher-blooded trolls, Sempur lives to serve. Well, mostly. Sempur actually lives to die, determined to not only achieve a high rank in the troll army, but to then go down in the most glorious and inspiring way possible, making history as the baddest badass that ever did serve. Sempur is simply not afraid of death, and in fact firmly believes there is nothing more honorable than dying for beloved Alternia. Naturally, he is quite reckless in fights, and even sometimes intentionally maims himself because scars = status, right?
Strengths:
+Ambitious: Sempur is determined to make a great name for himself, his tenacity almost inspiring despite how over-the-top it can be. He will let nothing get in the way of his dreams!!!
+Disciplined: Not one to waste time or make an idiot of himself (well...), Sempur is a master of self-control and his obedience, if you've earned it, rivals a dog's loyalty.
+Courageous: The only thing that can get Sempur quaking in his boots is the thought of being dishonorably discharged from the army... or worse, not getting in at all! Otherwise, good luck getting this troll scared, he lacks the good sense to fear much else.
+Forbearing: Not quite forgiving, but Sempur is surprisingly tolerant with lowblooded trolls. Make no mistake, he makes his disdain of them clear enough with his constant insults, and seeks to recruit them solely to beat the flaws out of them in the first place, but with trolls that put up with him, Sempur becomes fiercely protective and even somewhat respectful because they tried. This is probably the closest you'll get to friendship with him (but don't say that to his face whatever you do). He's never one to give up on his projects, believing any troll is capable of redemption through serving!
Flaws:
-Stubborn: For trolls who do not want to be bossed around by Sempur, it's a nightmare getting rid of him. He always thinks his way is right and simply cannot comprehend trolls that are not interested or even opposed to playing soldier.
-Domineering: Sempur is quick to declare himself as leader of any activity, bowing only to higher-blooded trolls. His way is always strict and routine if not completely dangerous with his, you know, complete disregard for the sanctity of life.
-Glory Hound: Big reason Sempur always wants to be in charge is so he can take all the credit for achievements both real and imagined. Sempur is completely driven by his lust for recognition and is not above dirty tactics for gaining power.
-Killjoy: Everything must work towards perfecting himself. Good luck ever getting Sempur to lighten up; if he feels something is pointless, say, just for fun, Sempur will steadfastly refuse to take part in such ridiculous frivolities.
Weapon: A pair of trench knives. Handy!
Appearance: Large water buffalo horns, between them a tall and majestic mohawk. Some scars on his face, severity and placement up to the artist! His palms, if visible in the art, should be very heavily scarred by knife slashes. Clothes are plain, of course, but with a military flair; no real set ideas on this. Maybe boots, because hot damn are boots stylin'. If the troll army has a uniform, he would surely try to imitate it.
Home: Semp has built his homeFORTIFIED BATTLE FORTRESS!!! in the mountains. The outside of the castle is pretty damn banged up from rockslides/avalanches certainly not helped by the loud echoing of his snare drum. The part of the castle built into the mountainside, like a bunker, is much safer.
Lusus: Semp's Lusus is a massive honey badger about the size of a bear. And like a bear, he can stand up on his hind legs! But it doesn't come in handy too much, he just shuffles around all hunched over and is a terrible marcher, really. Still, he does everything Semp demands and more, doting on him more like a mother hen than the giant badger he is. It's almost kind of sad, but don't let Badgerdad's apparently complacency fool you. Aside from Semp and his riding crop of taming, Badgerdad is completely vicious and will attack anything in the hopes of an easy meal. And if it's not easy? Well, Semp got his tenacity from somewhere. Badgerdad will kill and eat or die trying. When he wanders off to take down game, he may disappear for days, with Semp positive he finally overestimated his prey. But Badgerdad comes back. Badgerdad always comes back.
Power: None.
