Cronus Ampora

[Homestuck] Cronus Ampora is a violet blooded troll who lived on Beforus shortly before he and the rest of his session caused the Reckoning. He is the Bard of Hope and the dancestor of Eridan Ampora.

BACKSTORY: The Bard of Hope may seem a little jaded these days, but once he had a deeply abiding faith in magic, and dedicated himself to becoming a great wizard. He became convinced he was born to defeat an extraordinarily evil magician, one he swore the angels foretold of. Though when pressed for the name of the man, he would not say it, claiming it was too dangerous to even enunciate. Part of his self-aggrandizing mythos was that this magician once somehow from afar tried to strike him down at a young age, so he would never have to face him. But the evil spell was deflected, sealing the magician's spirit away in a series of unassuming vessels until he could find some other cunning way to enter our universe. The attack supposedly left him with his distinctive scar. But at some point he became disillusioned with magic. Any truth to his far fetched vision, the legacy of defeating the evil magician would have to be passed on to his descendant, or if his descendant proved to be as much of a failure as he did, then perhaps on some other Hero of Hope. I'm unsure why he suffered this crisis of faith, aside from the obvious reasons having to do with an overall lack of character, or any other redeeming qualities. Perhaps someone talked him out of his beliefs. Maybe a friend close to him. Or, if one is to believe his fantasy held any water, perhaps someone who was in league with the evil magician.

PERSONALITY: Cronus considers himself to be a 1950s-style human greaser trapped inside the body of a troll. He is also a hopeless flirt, often encroaching on personal space boundaries. He can also be incredibly rude on occasion. He attempts to come off as a kind and caring person who doesn't care about his blood color, though it's very clear that's just a facade he puts on to try and hit on people. He tends to not light his cigarettes, because burning it seems like a waste of a “perfectly good and cool cigarette.” He likes to make music. The only thing he makes some half-assed effort not to talk about is his desire to be human. Takes any sign of displeasure as a desire for kismessitude

APPEARANCE: Swept back, black hair with dark gray streaks. Two scars above his right eyebrow in the vague shape of the aquarius symbol. Wears a plain white T-shirt with a violet Aquarius sign on it. Then a pair of jeans, with a black belt. His clothes tend to be tight fitting. Being a troll, his skin is gray and has horns that resemble part of the aquarius symbol. Horns start with a burnt-orange color, shifting into orange, shifting into a yellow-orange. Because he is dead, his sclera are white, compared to a living troll's yellow sclera.
