Character Name: Orphaner Dualscar
Series: Homestuck
Canon Point: Before he meets up with the Grand Highblood
History Link: derp.
AU/OC History: N/A

Personality:
Much like all seadwellers, Dualscar is a prideful and vicious royal. His descendant Eridan Ampora is like a mini version of himself, and just like Eridan, Dualscar can be described as an arrogant, selfish, elistist, though for him specifically, he’s above all a tyrannical bigot. However, the contrast between these two is the fact that Dualscar is the fine wine of these stellar descriptors, where as Eridan is more so wine just freshly squeezed from the grapes of metaphorical bigotry. This lousy metaphor aside, that is to say that while Eridan is a strapping young sea dweller of 6 sweeps, Dualscar has centuries of hate and oppression under his belt that would leave Eridan in his shadow for sweeps to come. Sea dwellers are feared among the land dwellers, and that is for good reason. They are vicious, and exponentially more violent than their land dwelling counter parts. They are the ruling class of Alternia, and in contrast to how most humans run things, they control everything with an iron fist, or flipper if you will. Dualscar upholds this visage of sea dweller tyranny like it’s an art and he’s troll Vincent Van Gogh. What with him being the great scourge of the seas, feared and respected by those who have enough sense or the downright survival instincts to do it.
One could even say Dualscar is cruel and heartless, which wouldn’t entirely be inaccurate, but that’s okay, because those are revered traits for any respected troll. The more cruel and bloodthirsty you are, the better the troll. Murderers are praised, a fact that most adult trolls have taken to heart, particularly ones who serve their coldhearted empress, and none other is more devoted to that than Dualscar himself. Or, he’d at least like one to think, because, as much as his loyalties lie with the Empire, his selfishness does take precedent, that much is for certain. The proof of this lies with his relationship with none other than Marquis Spinneret Mindfang. He took up a kismesissitude with her instead of actually apprehending her like someone of his status should, what with her being the pirate outlaw she was, a most wanted criminal by the empire. Instead, he facilitated a relationship, putting his desires above the Empire’s for his own selfish gain. Only relinquishing that relationship when it later didn’t go his way. Once it stopped being beneficial to him, he abandoned it, running to do what he should have done in the first place, which ironically ended in his untimely demise at the hands of those who should have been on his side.
Though, let us rewind a bit, discuss more about Dualscar and his standing. Being the high ranking troll he is, his blood being just below the Empress, he’s of royal standing meaning he’s highly privileged, very entitled, and one who holds high authority. Being an admiral of the armada, not only does he have respect and fear from land dwellers, he commands the same regard from other sea dwellers. Cruelty and blood thirstiness, the aforementioned traits encouraged by trolls, especially those of high positions, play a key part in his core personality. He’s vile and despicable by most standards, but don’t mistake the fact that killing doesn’t phase him as something savage or barbaric, he isn’t. As being royalty, he definitely conducts himself in a manner most civil, in most cases. He can, however, let his anger and emotions get the better of him when push comes to shove, but for the most part, he definitely holds himself with an intimidating calmness that carries an arrogance that’s impossible to miss. An air that shows that he knows he’s better than you, and he isn’t afraid to flaunt it. Because, everyone but the empress is below him, everyone is scum and filth, and are merely tools to be utilized and then later disposed of. Everyone is merely a means to an end to him, and once your worth has met its end, so soon will you.
However, despite how swell of a guy he may be, there are of course complications and problems that befall this fine specimen of a sea dweller. While he may be the exemplary of what a sea dweller should be, such a rotten personality has done well to leave the admiral forlorn and alone. His red affections towards Her Imperious Condescension are obvious and very much unrequited. A fact he confided in his kismesis about. Trolls often hide their more ruddy leanings, seeing as trolls are a race built around violence and hate, something of a softer nature could be seen as a weakness, especially when concerning your kismesis. Though, Dualscar later develops his own red feelings for Mindfang, which results in the termination of their relationship, partially because of disinterest from Mindfang, but also because of the assassination of Mindfang’s own flushed interest. Dualscar is a highly possessive troll, and one that gets what he wants when he wants it, and when those demands aren’t made, he reacts rather violently. Maybe not targeting the one he is particularly offended by, but those around, trying to ascertain control.
Control is a big part of troll life, the entire race is controlled by fear and oppression, and it’s of no surprise to anyone that a troll as high on the hemospectrum as Dualscar, would be a bit of a control freak. He wants things to go his way, no ifs ands or buts about it. He will use his standing, his position, and brute force to obtain what someone might deny him. While this obsession with power is definitely a conditioned trait from a society crafted through bloodshed and fear, there’s a number of other factors that could help facilitate this in Dualscar as well. He’s never had a successful redrom, left pining over what he can’t have and any attempts to obtain such things have failed, which to someone as successful, as respected, as feared and as important as Dualscar(At least he thinks he is), it’s quite a shot to the ego. A shot that festered and turned into insecurities, especially after repeated offenses. This being a weakness that isn’t fitting for a figure of power, or one of his caste at all. A weakness that’s defended and hidden through anger, viciousness, and an obsession for control. His inadequacy in romance feeds his lust for control over everything else. Trying to bury it entirely, because to be insecure is weak, to be inadequate is weak, and in a society where weakness isn’t tolerated, this is a dangerous thing to have, a dangerous thing to show, something entirely too costly. So he tries to bury it with a dramatic sense of pride and manipulation, it’s a lot easier to be alone if you make yourself believe it’s your intention all along, after all.
Powers: Other than being skilled in combat, his only power is the fact he’s immune to basically all psychic/mental attacks. While he isn’t invulnerable to things like telekenesis, telepathy or mindcontrol doesn’t affect him.
Other Details: Dualscar has a legendary rifle called Ahab’s Crosshairs. It’s legendary for a reason, shooting a blast strong enough to rip a hole through the side of a giant whale and even be nearly on par with a powerful optic blast from a high level psionic(though this was tested by his descendant, not Dualscar himself.) He’s also highly trained in means of combat, being an admiral(dreadmiral?) of a fleet for Her Imperious Condescension and being war-hardened, he’s quite an opponent.
