Personality: Eridan is a rather volatile person and one that seems to wear his emotions on his sleeve, it is always easy to tell what sort of mood he is in because he rarely hides it. He seems to go through life with some sort of double standard; for no matter how much he dismisses or insults those lower than him he honestly expects people to pay attention and listen to him when he has something going on, only to complain and whine when he feels as though he is being ignored because obviously his own experiences and feelings are whats important here even when he brings a lot of it upon himself. People may refer to him as a dramatic douchebag, and they would be right, in more ways than one. He loves military history and seems to be driven by tales of epic conquests, even creating an image from himself from these that he follows. He wants to get rid of landwellers and declares magic to be silly and fake, even though he he loves magic and has a collection of wands.
Alternian life is tough and trolls are naturally more violent and destructive than humans anyway, but Eridan takes it to a whole new level. Trolls operate on a hemocaste system and being of violet blood Eridan is royalty, a sea-dwelling troll whose blood is surpassed only by the princess and the empress herself. He looks down on those of lower blood and has a genocidal complex, one that he doesn't even bother to hide. He looks down on those of lower blood than his own, as if they are automatically a lesser person than he is and wants to rid the world of the landwellers , both for polluting the ocean and simply just for being of lower blood. However despite having many opportunities to realize this dream he has never gone through with it because Feferi (his ex-morail and heiress) would be upset by it.
Despite all his theatrics though, Eridan does have people he considers true friends, landdwellers even, and those are the ones to see his genuine emotions. Karkat and Kanaya for example, he is shown to have conversations with them involving things that nobody else knows, even going as far as gossiping about stuff. It does take a special kind of person to put up with him on a daily basis though, simply because despite his intentions, Eridan usually goes about them in entirely the wrong way.
His biggest weakness is that he only sees things from his point of view, prefering to attempt to get others to see things from HIS perspective before the thought even occurs to him to perhaps try and see it from theirs. This only serves to push people away or cause them to reject him, only making himself more annoyed and miserable. Stubborn also, Eridan spent most of their game session alone on his planet killing angels even though he was told several times that he probably wasn't meant to be doing that, only to complain that nobody came to visit him even though he made it so that nobody would dare set foot on his world. He comes across as someone that really wants others to acknowledge him, yet he goes about it entirely the wrong way.
Quadrants. Canon-wise, Eridan is a little more obsessed with quadrants (troll romance) that most trolls are. Although he seems to be lonely, part of it is also to do with his self image. When a troll grows up and enters adulthood the next natural step for them is to fill their quadrants, only Eridan is trying too hard. If one romance fails he moves on to try another, not even considering the image he is creating of himself. He had flushed feelings (love) for Feferi for a long time but she rejected him, later on he dropped hints towards Karkt, Nepeta and Jade as well as trying to antagonize Rose and Sollux into his black quadrant.
Eventually all of these factors merged into one moment. Feeling lonely and that they had no hope for survival, Eridan decided he was going to leave the veil and go join Jack Noir. He asked Feferi to join him in the hopes that jack would spare their lives, but once she refused a fight broke out. He finally seemed to snap, blinding Sollux in a duel. Feferi retaliated and he killed her despite her being the girl he was in love with. He then destroyed the matriorb, effectively destroying his species' hope for survival and killed Kanaya once she turned on him. He then wandered off, running into Vriska and Gamzee but before a fight broke out, a newly resurrected Kanaya showed up to chainsaw him in half. :|
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths: He is a history buff, and is intelligent! He is very determined, once he has an idea in his head he will see it through to the end. He is really good at.. blowing holes though people :|a Eridan really doesn't have that many strengths... Weaknesses: As far as Eridan is concerned, his opinion is right and yours is wrong. He is dramatic and will rarely see a point of view that is not his own. Humans and trolls of lower blood are lower than him.

Samples First Person Sample: okay someone wwanna explain to me wwhat the fuck is goin on here exactly i mean is this some sorta extravvagant dream bubble or somethin it has to be considerin uh wwhat happened
but lets not talk about that right now the wwhole human thing an lack a horns is a nice touch but the jokes kinda run its course now so anytime you feel like puttin me back to normal it wwould be appreciated and by anytime i mean noww
yeah ok still wwaitin
Third Person Sample: Eridan hated this place. For starters, the fact that he was human and therefore, in his opinion, vulnerable. Seriously, how did the species even survive this long being so frail? He had lost so much strength through his humanization that he actually felt rather worried, not that he would mention to anyone. Plus he lost his horns and his grey skin which was even more devastating- he had looked so much more attractive as a troll, seriously!
There was also the fact that he had been seperated from his friends, which was what he hated the most. He was alone, he had nobody there to complain to. Sure there were all sorts of strangers on this foreign network, but none of them were people he knew and therefore that didn't count, as far as Eridan was concerned he was alone and in a terrible looking, frail body and he didn't deserve this. So what if he had killed off two of his friends and blinded someone else, they had deserved that. He didn't deserve this.
Taking a quick break from exploring, Eridan sat down in the shade of a tree, studying the peculiar red and white sphere in his hand. The basics had been explained to him and although he didn't quite understand it yet, the idea of being in charge of fearsome beasts and sending them into battle appealed to him. Perhaps he was looking at this the wrong way. Perhaps this was a new start- away from Alternia and the people who didn't appreciate him for what he was worth, he could start anew in this place. Eridan Ampora, the fearsome pokemon trainer than everyone grew to respect and fear.
With a grin, he bounced up from the ground with a new found energy. He was going to completely ace this... whatever this was, he only hoped that some of the other trolls would show up and be marveled by his new found awesome 'pokemon' skills.
