Need some help fleshing out your fantroll? Trying to figure out how to put all the information you need into a paragraph format that isn't tl;dr?
Well, we're here to help.
If you are having any trouble pulling the most important parts of your fantrolls together, post your questions here, and receive some help in return. We are also here for throwing around ideas. Not sure if something will work? The kind folks around here will lend a hand.
Like they say at Home Depot...You can do it, we can help.

ah thank god for this! i need help finding a hexcode for a blood color. so there's this thing with my fantroll that her blood is seven degrees away from being a seadweller. let's assume for simplicity's sake that gamzee's blood is like, one away from the land-sea borderline or something. 'cause of him being the highest for a land-dweller and not really knowing where else to draw the line and all. also if it could be kind of a paler shade if that's an acceptable thing. not, like, near white pale, just a bit more diluted than the usual.

6200FF Would this work? It's around six below Gamzee's, and as pale as I can make it without it being cannon-breaking.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a psionic power for an architecturally inclined troll? I'm not really necessarily looking for it to be related, mostly just looking for a suggestion.

you can go with general telekenesis; nothing fancy, but it would be helpful in moving potentially heavy building supplies. i'd also add in the element of newton's third law to act as a limit for them to deal with, assuming you go with this idea.

Sophie
Maybe a cool psychic power that revolves around the architectural aspect of you troll would be that your troll can look at buildings and be able to construct an accurate blue print of the building.
But, so it doesn't seem like a cop-out power with potential "god-modeness", maybe certain types of material are better at conveying its blueprints than others.
Or maybe it takes a lot of concentration, or the building needs to be touched. I don't know.
That's just what instantly came to mind.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for the suggestions, guys! I think I'm going to go with a mix of that- telekinesis, but only in relation to buildings- I'm thinking, can look at a building and then telekinetically manipulate a pencil into sketching it out? Well, I suppose that's sort of what you meant, Haji...yeah. c: I really appreciate the input.

Okay, so I have to develop two more fantrolls, one of which is my trollsona. I'm going to start with my yellow blood coffee troll because he needs to be finished and developed in a memo sometime.
I'm just going to give a basic write up in a list form because I don't have access to my actual write up.
Name: Taitum Lombea
Blood Color: Yellow (I still need to find his actual color. I'm looking for a slightly brighter shade than Sollux, but I'm having trouble because i know there is this blood color chart somewhere, but I forgot where it is and I'd pick my color from there.)
Lusus: Sloth (Slothdad. It sounds better than Slothmom I think)
Personality: Basically, Taitum is a cool guy, though he constantly shakes because he drinks, like, four pots of coffee a night. The reason he does this is because if he didn't, he would be as slow as his lusus. He's excitable and a little quick to jump to conclusions, but he is not violent. He's a sweetheart in the sense that he is willing to help out whenever he can, but if he is in danger, he can be a bit of a scaredy cat.
He uses his psychic power, which is a form of--I don't know what it's called, the closest I could think of is astral projection--where his psychic energy forms into hands to fight with. They usually take on the shape of sloth arms and claws, and often type for him because he is so shaky, he could never type for himself, unless he was completely decaffeinated. I also wanted to experiment with limited futuristic visions, where his instinct would guide him sometimes, but he would never know why until it happened.
An example in my mind was while he was growing up, Slothdad would mill about the hive without any obvious purpose while Taitum ricocheted about hyped up on coffee. After trying to test his limitations, he slipped and fell, and Slothdad, who had been climbing with no obvious purpose, was able to catch him. It was a instinctual feeling (sorta seeing the future). This is something I'm toying with though so let me know what you think.
Taitum would be the type to jump into a situation seemingly without thinking, but has everything on lock because of the way his brain processes information. Thank you, Slothdad.
Strife Specibus: beanKind Essentially he shoots coffee beans at things with his psychic energy. Have you ever been pelted with beans thrown psychically? No? Didn't think so. But, I don't know if this is just the right amount of ridiculousness or not.
Fetch Modus: I have to think about this a little more. I was thinking that it would have something to do with brewing coffee, but I'm drawing a blank right now. Fixxos is the best at this he (or she, I haven't asked yet) has helped me with both Hassel's and Vanora's Moduses.
Hive Location: At the base of a giant tree on the edge of a coffee plantation. He often steals beans and pays them by roasting them, grinding them, and giving them back as the best fucking coffee you've ever had in your life!
World: Land of Beans and Rain
Ah, I think that's it for him right now. At least, this is all I have. Wiegh in. Help me out if something doesn't seem right. And yeah, thanks.

CC0000, perhaps? This is a bit brighter then Sollux while still being yellow-blood.

This is my troll in progress, the kite obsessed Malaya Volant. Mostly, I need help thinking of a Strife Specibus, Fetch Modus, and lusus, because I'm completely out of ideas. =/

Well, sophie, it'd help if we knew more about her.
But I will say she's really adorable!
Oh! Maybe for Strife Specibus she uses kite string to strangle someone? I actually never have flown a kite before, so I dunno if kite string is actually that strong.
And maybe a bird lusus for her?
