Troll Tribes - Blog Posts
Hello Everyone!!!
I have another story in AO3. It's called, Worldbuilding (A Whole New World).
Trolls Au: AU NOTES
[1] All Trolls in this AU, are as big as Mount Rageous and Vacaytioners, but the Bergens are giants like in fantasy stories/movies.
[2] Trolls are magic, which means they have immensely overwhelming magic. (They are somewhat similar to the Titans & collectors from Owl House, and Kwamis from Miraculous Ladybug). Trolls are "widely considered among the most magical beings in the world". Wizards, Witches, Sorcerers, Sorceresses, and all kinds of magic users exist here in this AU. Their hair glows, their eyes glow, and they have markings on their body, showing signs of their magical abilities/potential being awakened. When they discovered the strings, the trolls had forgotten about their magical heritage, but some still practice magic in modern times.
The Royals including the subgenre in this AU have more powerful magic than the rest of the people (Their power is beyond what any normal creature could ever dream of physically or magically. Their eyes glow fully white giving off their power level or status) Or that's what everyone else thinks or believes.
However, there is one family that is more powerful than the royal families and than any other troll in existence and it's the Harmony Family (Brozone's Family). The members of the Harmony family possess immensely powerful magic. Brozone was born directly under the lineage of what has to be the most powerful troll family line in current existence. (And also the very reason this family is very careful when to coming having babies in the first place. Brozone is very incredibly powerful and nobody talks about it for some reason. They inherited that destructive potential) But in the Harmony Family lineage, the descendants are different than the rest of their tribe, they have semi-glitter on some parts of their bodies including their hair, have rainbow-colored hair, also have markings/tattoos on semi-parts of their bodies, their eyes' iris are shaped as stars, two front teeth is colored as well, and they can also glow in the dark.
[3] The trolls have the same color tears & blood as the strings. All expect Branch. His tears/blood are rainbow-colored, making him more unique.
[4] In this AU, Branch isn't fully gray anymore, but he is (Dull) blue-cyan thanks to King Peppy and Kismet, so he has no deformities like in the movies. Super resourceful. There is nothing that he doesn’t know about. Owns a bunch of books about medicine and survival stuff. Super smart, but doesn’t know. He assumes that is common knowledge… Owns tons of pretty headbands/crowns. He got one in every color shape (This is Satin and Chenille influence) He got a matching outfit for all of his crowns and headbands (thanks to Satin and Chenille) Branch did gymnastics, trapeze, and martial arts. Adding to the Trolls au idea, Branch is still… well… he's still Branch. The main difference is that it isn't music itself he hates and, while he doesn't like how loud, the other trolls are, he doesn't blame music and singing for killing his grandmother. He blames himself. He is a young troll who is born on the stage and destined to perform but is too scared to do so in public because every time he'd done so before, it led to disaster. He sang with his brothers for their biggest concert ever, and they immediately left him. He sang for his grandmother, and she gets eaten by a Bergan.
[5] In this AU, Classical & Rock Trolls have (Classical) feathery & (Rock) bat wings, but they can be made bigger for concerts! (Their wings can grow or retract similar to the way Pop Troll's hair can!!)
[6] When Viva, Poppy, Clay, and the rest of the Pop trolls have gotten separated from the rest of the tribe and founded the Hole in Fun golf course. Viva is the Queen of her Putt Putt trolls, Poppy is the Prince of the Putt Putt trolls, and Clay is the Royal Advisor and right-hand man. Together, they rule this Golf Course hand in hand, with an iron fist. The first rule? The most important rule? No one leaves. Plain and simple. You live as a Putt-Putt, and you will die as a Putt Putt. That wasn’t the only rule, however, oh no. Discussion of what was outside these walls was forbidden, as to discourage potential escapes. No, Viva and Clay were well aware of what was out there. It wasn’t just Bergens. They arrived at Hole in Fun with a handful of 900,998 Trolls left alive after the Cave In, after facing many hungry Critters, after crossing the Streets, after fighting for so long…Nothing of value was outside of those doors. But Poppy is very curious about the outside world and exploring the unknown, but Viva and Clay forbid it.
[7] Brandi in this AU is a Funk Troll, alongside the kids are Funk/Pop hybrids.
[8] Trolls from every tribe have very strong senses. Good hearing and can easily smell who is coming, what threat it is, scents, etc. However, the only troll being really dang good at it is Branch. He has really strong senses. The other trolls haven’t experienced much, they have a hard time recognizing other smells other than cupcakes and their hearing is not the best…
The trolls (pop, hard rock, funk, classical, country, and techno) themselves are more like Fae/Fairy in their origin; beings of flesh and bone but at the same time sort of also full of magical, musical whimsy, their outward appearance reflects the habitat they attuned themselves to.
Pop Trolls: Pop trolls resonate with vibrant and colorful environments, reflecting the exuberance and energy of popular music. Their appearance is marked by shimmering hues, ethereal glow, and playful accents that mirror the upbeat melodies and rhythms they embody.
Hard Rock Trolls: Hard Rock trolls thrive in rugged landscapes resonant with the power and intensity of rock music. Their forms exude strength and resilience, adorned with metallic textures, intricate tattoos, and rugged features that evoke the raw energy and passion of rock anthems.
Funk Trolls: Funk trolls harmonize with groovy and soulful surroundings, embodying the funky beats and infectious rhythms of their music. Their appearance is characterized by fluid movements, afro hairstyles, colorful attire, and a lively aura that captures the essence of funk music.
Classical Trolls: Classical trolls find solace in elegant and refined settings that echo the timeless beauty of classical music. Their forms exude grace and sophistication, adorned with robes, intricate patterns, and serene expressions that reflect the transcendent melodies and harmonies they embody.
Country Trolls: Country trolls resonate with rustic landscapes imbued with the spirit of country music. Their appearance reflects a connection to nature, adorned with cowboy hats, denim attire, and earthy tones that evoke the simplicity, warmth, and storytelling traditions of country songs.
Techno Trolls: Techno trolls thrive in futuristic and pulsating environments that pulse with the electronic beats of techno music. Their forms shimmer with neon lights, cybernetic enhancements, and sleek designs that mirror the innovation, energy, and digital landscapes of techno music.
Adaptive Evolution: In the early stages of their existence, the Trolls' anatomy evolved in response to the environments they inhabited, allowing them to better adapt and survive. This reciprocal relationship with their surroundings influenced the development of diverse physiological traits and characteristics among the Troll tribes, enhancing their ability to thrive in different habitats.
Environmental Manipulation: With the discovery and harnessing of the Strings' power, the Trolls gained the ability to actively influence and shape their environment to better suit their needs. This newfound power enabled them to transform their surroundings, creating diverse and tailored kingdoms that catered to the unique requirements of each tribe, despite their shared corner of the world.
Varied Kingdoms: The Troll Kingdoms, despite occupying a seemingly limited geographic space, exhibit surprising diversity in their structures, cultures, and adaptations. This diversity is a testament to the Trolls' innate ability to shape and mold their surroundings to align with their distinct preferences and requirements, showcasing a harmonious blend of environmental influence and Troll ingenuity.
Adaptive Prowess: The Trolls' capacity to influence their environment and adapt to changing conditions has allowed them to create dynamic and multifaceted kingdoms that reflect the rich tapestry of their collective heritage and individual identities. Each kingdom stands as a testament to the Trolls' mastery of their surroundings and their ability to thrive in diverse landscapes.
[9] The Trolls are more widespread in the world, but the actual world is rather huge; going off the fact that the Troll Tree was situated in the middle of Bergen Town, and the Bergens built their town around it on purpose, it hints at the Troll territory spanning more than just their little corner in the north of the map. This would explain the awareness of large beings like the Bergens, being aware of Trolls' Existence- specifically Pop (expand on that later)
(After escaping from the Bergens, without knowing or knowledge the power of the Pop String has released a potent form of pheromones, the Pop Tribe evolved a distinct reproductive system that allowed any Troll, regardless of gender or identity, to contribute to the creation of new life. This inclusive approach to reproduction fostered a sense of unity and equality within the tribe, breaking traditional barriers and norms surrounding gender roles and family structures. The ability for any Troll to participate in the creation of offspring led to a rapid increase in the Pop Tribe's population, as individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds were welcomed and embraced. This diversity enriched the fabric of the tribe, bringing together a multitude of talents, perspectives, and experiences under the common banner of the String)
[10] Realizing the destructive power of the Strings early on, they didn’t see danger in it but hidden potential; In particular became not only a representation of their music but also a tool, one that allowed them to power their early machine and synthesize new metals and alloys. They shared this with the Tribes when the effort to instill harmony started, and it was thanks to their help that the troll tribes started leaping into technological advances. They were also the ones to build the Lyre of Harmony, as a way to house all the Strings safely, unaware of the consequences that could bring that.
[11] Before the tribes divided, The Elder Ancestors were afraid that predators or enemies would come to harm them, so they had a discussion about an army they named the String Soldiers they’ll be highly trained and they wear masks to cover their identities even from the normal leaders and they’re giving special weapons and special items and these soldiers only receive orders from the ancestors nobody else.
[12] When the Pop Trolls escaped from Bergen City, The bergens with no trolls to make them happy eventually moved on to a different location/area hoping something there would bring them joy. Expect, Chef and a few bergens are still looking for the trolls believing that trolls are the only ones that can make them happy.
[13] Here, the Pop Trolls have a more diverse fleet of critters than in canon. Originally, since the pop tribe is more massive than in the canon, they have all kinds of critters at their disposal. And the Pop Trolls are more diverse than in the canon as well.
My Trolls AU
Introduction of the Troll Tribes (My Version)
Pop Nation/Pop Garden
Pop City (Nation/Empire): These Pop trolls live in a place that's kind of like 'Pop Village' but bigger/more populated and is called 'Pop City', King Peppy still rules. Pop City still lives in the Dark Forest, it's a little further from Bergen City, I would say in the Center of the Forest. The Pop trolls grew another Troll Tree, which is referred to as Pop City or Pop Central. And also have advanced technology combined with nature. It's a little metropolitan wonder, where the most famous and powerful trolls live. Due to the powerful and ancient magic of the Pop String.
Pop Garden: The Pop Garden was glowing thanks to a pink light shining over it, and everywhere you looked, there were dark, light, and even average pink colors everywhere. The place was full of plants and bugs, like butterflies, caterpillars, bees, dragonflies, ladybugs, and grasshoppers. The garden has different kinds of flowers, a lot of them, like sunflowers, roses, santans, gumamelas, daisies, daffodils, etc. Not just flowers, there are also different kinds of plants, like vines, shrubs, succulents, ferns, mushrooms, and others. There was a pathway for Trolls to move around while gazing at the plants. There was also a big fountain where they could sit around it, and Pop Trolls could play their Pop music.

Techno Reef/Techno Water Amusement Park
Techno Reef: Techno Reef is an underwater location with LEDs and bright lights, based on macramé and optical fibers. Techno Reef is of high technology, with many LEDs providing lights that surround the dark oceanic floor. This is considered to be well-suitable for the Techno Trolls' parties. Most of Techno Reef is also made of crochet. This is due to the powerful and ancient magic of the Techno String.
Techno Water Amusement Park: Techno Water Amusement Park was literally a water amusement park. It has many water slides with different styles, showers, fountains, water game booths, floatie slides, dunk tanks, and several swimming pools. A few of the pools are kiddie pools with small water slides, some have medium pools, and some have pools that look like rivers, but in the middle of the park was the biggest pool of all, connecting to the other big pools. The Water Amusement Park has many shades of blue, like the slides. It also has stores, like water gun stores, where it can rent water guns for kids, bottled water stores, water balloon stores, pool shops where MMTs can buy swimming equipment and toys, and clothes storage where Trolls can keep their clothes to wear their swimming clothes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lonesome Flats/Country Farm
Lonesome Flats: Lonesome Flats is located in a desert, and is loosely based on a Wild West theme. Lonesome Flats is a sandy and harsh place in the Troll Kingdom. The Country Trolls settled in a deserted area after the isolation from the Pop Trolls. Lonesome Flats appear to be of low technology, as there aren't much of advanced devices in it. It resembles a quilt, with different stitches patterned on the ground and buildings. It's mostly comprised of hot colors (e.g. orange, yellow, red, etc.), which matches both the desertic nature of its location and its Wild West theme. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Country String.
Country Farm: The Country Farm has orange land with lots of crops in rows. The place was almost similar to Lonesome Flats and Country Corral, but instead of a building and house, the whole place is a farm. There are barns, fields of crops, and farm animals roaming around. Though Trolls came here to work to provide food, most of them are Country Trolls. They were harvesting fruits and vegetables, raising the animals, and selling their harvest at their stalls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symphonyville/Classical Heaven
Symphonyville: The area of Symphonyville goes across hills and mountains. Out of all the locations of Troll Kingdom, it has the highest elevation overall. For the Classical Trolls, Symphonyville is the most unique and beautiful place. Symphonyville appears to mostly use traditional technology and has instrument and floral patterns on hills and mountain surfaces. It's a calm place, suitable for the Classical Trolls to play their soft music. Most of Symphonyville has golden and yellow tones, as well as some other colors with a tint of gold on them. The Classical Trolls reside in groups at cave-like structures, each of which matches the respective instrument each group plays with the exits shaped like it. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Classical String.
Classical Heaven: Classical Heaven was like a heavenly place where many Classical Trolls flew around instead of walking. The floor looked like clouds, but it was as solid as the ground below. The floor was actually cotton fabric with artificial clouds all over the place so the Classical Trolls or other trolls from other tribes could step on. The place has plenty of gazebos with orchestras of Classical Trolls in each of them with their respectful conductors leading them. The place also has shops and cafes for the MMTs to take a break, relax, and have fun. Classical music was played in the air as the MMTs just stopped and listened calmly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vibe City/Funk Bar
Vibe City: Vibe City has a surreal, science fiction-esque landscape with bright neon signs. It is the only moving location in the Troll Kingdom, making the Funk Trolls the only nomadic Tribe. The entire city is found within a giant UFO-like vehicle that's clamshell-like with some outside balconies. The outside shell is made from platinum records, arranged like overlapping sequins. Thus, Vibe City is also the most advanced location of Troll Kingdom in terms of technology. Their contact with the other troll kingdoms means there is a much higher level of technology throughout Troll Nation, leading to troll mass media, troll cell phones, and troll internet. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Funk String.
Funk Bar: The Funk Bar was glowing thanks to a purple light shining over it, and everywhere. There were dark, light, and even average purple colors everywhere. There were also glowing words and letters made of neon lights. The bar has a slight resemblance to Vibe City, but smaller, and has many Funk Trolls around. Funk Bar also has beverage stores, souvenir stands, and album shops. The song "Superstition" was heard in the background.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volcano Rock City/Rock Field
Volcano Rock City: Volcano Rock City is an ash-covered wasteland with lava and flowing volcanoes. The skies are dark here due to ash clouds. Volcano Rock City is a hot area, with lava flowing everywhere. It appears to be of high technology and is made from leather and denim. Most of Volcano Rock City is of black, orange, and red colors, presumably to match the Rock Trolls' designs. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Rock String.
Rock Field: Rock Field was like an ash-covered wasteland with small lava pools, and thin trails of flowing lava. Some rocks around are sharp, most of them are igneous rocks since they are from magma that cools down. All around, Rock Trolls played their guitars, drums, keyboards, cymbals, and other Rock instruments hard and loudly before smashing them down as the other Rock Trolls cheered with them. Some MMTs can roast their food above the lava pools like hotdogs and marshmallows.
