I'm curious, what's it like being a troll in your experience?
Why thank you!
Well we look a lot like humans except we have pale gray skin, orange (faded into yellow) horns, jagged teeth, yellow eyes, and have less body hair <!-- s

--> obviously I don't physically have those traits but I do have phantom horns. For a while I thought they were just really heavy phantom lion or wolf ears. We live on an asteroid named Alternia. In the past year I've been having lots of dreams about Alternia and maybe some memories I've had/will have/ am having on the asteroid. Most of the dreams I suspect are memories are sad things though. We aren't raised by our birth parents on Alternia. We are raised by our versions of the earth animals. When a troll baby (a grub) is born one of these animals takes them in and raises them. We call our guardian animal a lusus. I don't know how my lusus looked like but by some things I've dreamed about and read up on I believe my lusus was/ will be/ is our equivalent to an earth wolf, which we call a howlbeast. Hmmm. What else can I tell you... Oh! compared to human romance our romance is very odd and complex. Humans usually aim for finding one mate that fits a bunch of their standards but trolls (ideally) have four. One to act as a support them emotionally, one to share affection with, one to truly hate (like a rival), and one to keep you from killing the one you hate.
Whoa, sorry I kind of went on a ramble there. I hope that answers you question though <!-- s
