[Video] With all the colors in the rainbow...

[Here's one(1) vampire currently leaning against the railing of his apartment's balcony, looking a little contemplative today. He takes a moment to puff on the cigarette he was currently working on before acknowledging the SFC.]

People always say 'all of the colors in the rainbow' and assume those 8 are it. But, in reality, the number of color possibilities are endless. Even Black and white, which might be considered the end-points of the color spectrum, have different shades to them.

[He looks thoughtful a moment and smirks.]

And, to avoid the debate on whether black and white are actually colors, let's just go with the assumption that they are, just for this one question.

Anyway, with all of these colors out there, there's bound to be a few that represent one thing or another. People like association, so it's bound to happen that one particular color will mean something to a society or a group of friends or, even, a single person.

Are there any colors like that for any of you? Any that mean anything in particular?

Do you mean as a result of two individuals coupling together for procreation purposes, or in the case of, say, blood transfusions?

It is different from humans in both cases, but I'm not sure which you meant to say.

No.

[That seems silly!]

In terms of troll reproduction, two trolls allow their genetic material to mix. That is then given to an Imperial Drone, who carries it to the Mother Grub. Our good Mother can only intake genetic material in that way. It is then gathered into one large slurry, where dominant genes rise.

It is the relationship the two trolls have which decides how dominant their combination of genetics is. That is why it is important for trolls to find a good kismesis or matesprit. The stronger their bond, the more dominant their genes.

However, genetics also combine to generally encourage more lowblooded trolls into population. Their lifespans are considerably shorter than those of, say, seadwellers, so evolution has made up for this by making them more populous.
