Life on Music Banter

[Trollheart]

From an idea I explored in this week's Update Thread. Feel free to add yourself, or anyone else you wish to, and also to edit any entries that are made if you feel something has been left out or could enhance the entry. It is my fond hope that, in time, this thread will help future zoologists better understand the creatures that inhabit the Bantersphere and the dynamics that drive them.


Genus: Trollheartus Longwindus Maximus

Habitat: Bedrooms, kitchens; occasionally ventures outside to gather provisions but will not remain outdoors long.

Characteristics: Touchy, prickly with a great sense of honour and responsibility. Caring and nurturing, but capable of great flashes of anger when crossed. Particularly deferential to the female of the species, or any species. Hardworking and dedicated to its task, the Trollheartus will diligently work on a project to the exclusion of all else, setting self-imposed deadlines it must meet.

Diet: Chocolate, fried food, shepherd's pie. Also sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks. Violently allergic to vegetables, will become physically sick if any are ingested and may in fact die.

Known deities worshipped: Genesis, Marillion, Tom Waits, Dan Fogelberg, Iron Maiden.

Mating habits: Unknown; shrouded in mystery

Interaction with other creatures: Usually pleasant and companionable, able to accept differing views but when challenged on its most deeply held beliefs may become argumentative, combative and snide. Will fight to the death for what it believes to be right. Also known to adopt a protective posture when any female (even one not of its own species) is threatened, despite its poor fighting abilities.

Behaviour: Likes to listen to progressive rock music, classical and AOR as ell as some Heavy Metal. Watches quite a lot of TV. Writes prodigiously, almost obsessively. Is prone to care for the weaker members of its species, especially its sibling. Can be often heard muttering or talking to itself.
