Early Life

In his early sweeps, Arzale lived a fairly reclusive, lonely life at the bottom of the Alternian ocean. They spent a lot of their time primarily with their lusus and rarely interacted with other trolls. He kept mostly to himself and his hobbies during that time, but once he figured out how to use the internet, he was able to learn more about the rest of Alternian society and about his high ranking as a troll of the violet caste. It was also through the internet that he was introduced to even more interesting niches to explore, but it was also where he was introduced to the concept of friends and friend groups. Arzale's only real friend until that point was their lusus, but they were curious about what it was like to have other friends who were trolls just like them. He decided to set out and explore the ocean in search of other seadwellers who were willing to befriend him so that they could hang out and do all the things regular trolls did. However, most found him odd at best, and incredibly annoying and overbearing at worst, so he didn't have much luck. Arzale even tried to go to the surface to befriend trolls there, but most lowbloods were put off by his hue and highbloods hated him for being a seadweller. Dejected, Arzale eventually ceased his efforts and shut himself away in defeat, wondering if there really was anyone out there who'd bother to be his friend.

A New Hobby

For awhile, Arzale lived fairly reclusively in his hive and rarely interacted with any of his neighbors. His lusus had stopped hanging around as often and went on more outside trips without him, leaving Arzale more alone than before. However, while he was cooped up in his hive, Arzale had been exploring more of the internet to see what else it had to offer. He used it to pass the time by binging shows and movies which he would later obsesses over. At one point, he dedicated a huge tackboard towards piecing together clues and evidence from the mystery shows he watched in an effort to solve the mystery before the show revealed it. He was almost always accurate with his predictions too, which gave him a feeling of gratification, but he still felt hollow having nobody to talk to about it. However, one night, Arzale was reading through the comments of a theory video when he stumbled across a mention of 'forums' in the comment section. With their interest piqued, they decided to investigate what they were referring to, and that's when they finally discovered a trove of other passionate trolls like him who were just as nerdy and hyperfixated on these shows as he was! Arzale was also introduced to Trollian and Chittr, and after having joined all three, Arzale has been reaching out to other trolls, discussing their theories, and sharing their knowledge with others who actually listen and care! Well, they hopes they care at least. He's accepted the fact that he'll probably never have an in-person friend group, but having a small circle of nerds to talk with online is something Arzale finds enough joy in to suffice.

Land of Lamps and Abyss

LoLaA is a cold, stormy planet that is shrouded in permanent darkness. Storm clouds above block out Skaia's bright light, so the only way to see across the waters is by utilizing the floating lamplights that are scattered across the planet. However, the planet isn't just all water- there are a number of scattered islands and a large, central mainland that rise up above the waves. The magenta seagull consorts have built their cities and towns on the small islands where it's safer and typically avoid the mainland which is crawling with monsters and demons of the dark. However, the monsters aren't just limited to the mainland; there are also a plentiful amount of monsterous, mutated creatures of the void that lurk in the deep abyss below the waters that threaten ships sailing the seas. Because of the limited resources consorts have access to, pirating and thieving are common practice on LoLaA. Yet, there are rumors that the world was not always as dark and dreary as it is today, but these outlandish claims have been relegated to pure fiction. As the Bard of Void of his game session, it is Arzale's mission to follow the ominous enscryption found just outside the mainland's central pit, home to Hecate, Denizen of Void, and "recognize the lie to erase the void." He must use his strong connection to the darkness and to the horrorterrors to unlock the mystery of what happened to not only LoLaA, but to also uncover the mystery of the illness that is plaguing all of the other planets in his game session and find a way to remove the void threatening to consume them all.
