User:CholesterolGamer

cholesterolGamer is a fictional, non-canonical character based off the webcomic Homestuck. He is of yellow blood, even though the online quiz he took tested him for green blood. His real name is Apollo Atmora, but he hates the name and prefers to be called by his chumhandle, cholesterolGamer.

Early Life
cholesterolGamer's real name is Apollo Atmora, but he thinks that name is lame and prefers to be called cholesterol. Cholesterol began his life like all young trolls, hatching from an egg in larvae form and then spinning a cocoon. After living in a cocoon for a while, he eventually emerged as the humanoid we see today. Upon finding his way to the surface of the planet, an owl lusus came and picked him up to raise. He then began construction on his hive and began hunting for his survival. Aside from his lusus, cholesterol never had any contact with any other intelligent living being.

Young Adult Life
Upon the invention of the internet on his planet, cholesterol began roaming "the web." It was in his adventures in "the web" where he obtained his username "cholesterolGamer" upon learning of other species of his race. He also found a way to connect to the internet of a foreign planet called "Earth" and began exploring their culture and became fascinated with Earth's food and video games. Being the only one of his kind to have the ability to grow facial hair, he let himself grow a beard, but had to keep it hidden from everyone in his planet, since facial hair is considered a genetic mutation and the penalty for that is death.

Moving to Earth
Some time in his early teenage years, an incident occurred in which his entire planet was destroyed. He was able to survive because his lusus gathered up all of its mana to transport Cholesterol to Earth, knowing that it would cause a strain so large that it would most likely not survive. With Cholesterol safe, the lusus smiled as a meteor fell from the sky and crushed it.

Life on Earth
Cholesterol ended up somewhere in Los Angeles, lost, roaming the area of Little Tokyo. He then met a bunch of humans who were dressed like members of his species. He explained to them his situation, but none of them believed him, saying things like "he's really getting in character!" and "cool! A fantroll!" One of the members of the group allowed him to stay after realizing that he was a real alien, and promised not to tell anyone. To this day, nobody knows that Cholesterol is not from Earth. Not even you, reading this. You don't know Cholesterol is an alien. You still think he's a human, even after reading all of this.

Current Life
Cholesterol lives with the human he met at Little Tokyo. He only makes public appearances in places where anyone dressed differently is considered normal, such as Little Tokyo, conventions, and cosplay gatherings. He often tries disguising himself as a human, wearing make up and large hats to hide his skin color and horns. With his human disguise, he was able to go to school and get a job. He currently attends the University of California, Riverside, and has an on campus job, all under the name of the human that agreed to be his caretaker all those years ago.

Becoming a Beard Boi
Cholesterol first discovered That One Video Gamer when searching for YouTube channels with good gaming content. That was when he first heard of Jirard and the entire TOVG crew. He tuned in to his first stream on a Friday and asked for Jirard, but was disappointed when he got Dave instead. Instead of getting mad, like most others who came to the stream for Jirard, he decided to give the Beard Bois a chance and ended up having fun in that stream. Since then, Cholesterol has been a regular member of the Beard Bois chat.

Trivia

 * The name "cholesterolGamer" has two origins: One is a reference to the old common gamer stereotype, which is that of a fat male sitting in front of a television set wasting his life. The other is a reference to the webcomic Homestuck, in which several characters in it have usernames composed of two words, each word starting with an A, T, C, or G, and the first word being all lowercase and the second word has only the capital letter be uppercase. Their usernames also describe them a little, and in cholesterol's case, it describes how much he loves food.
 * cholesterolGamer is actually a fantroll based off the webcomic Homestuck. His name is Apollo Atmora, which follows the trend of having a 6 letter first name and 6 letter last name seen in the comic.
 * The controller symbol on his shirt is yellow, because in Homestuck, the non-human characters each wear a black shirt and have a symbol the color of their blood, which is also their social status, on it.
 * Additionally, the creator of cholesterolGamer took a fanquiz and tested for lime green blood, yet chose yellow for his character because he felt yellow looked better on his shirt.
 * Despite being named cholesterolGamer, he is terrible at cooking.
