Отношение к другим персонажам
Джон (JDH) — альтер-эго Лололошки. После отклонения от курса их пути разошлись, но образ Джона продолжает появляться в воспоминаниях и видениях героя как символ прошлого и потерянной связи.
Райя — близкий друг Лололошки. В финальной серии «Точки Невозврата» образы Райи,

Гуах’ткш’кхтар (Гуах) — персонаж сезона «Сердце Вселенной» во вселенной Лололошки.

Внешность

Гуах — багрянник, выглядит как насекомоподобное существо:

тело чёрного цвета;
ярко‑красные глаза;
две пары рук;
есть крылья и небольшой хвост;
носит броню багрового цвета;
отличается очень низким ростом — даже меньше, чем у Мрк’грш’траклара;
в отличие от других Первых, не носит маску: считает, что его воля достаточно сильна и не нуждается в поддержке.
Характер

Характер у Гуаха нетипичный для багрянника:

дружелюбен — это редкость среди представителей его расы;
консервативен и сильно ориентирован на понятие воли;
старается сохранять нейтралитет в решениях Первых и не переступать границы.
Роль и способности

Один из Первых (древних и могущественных существ) и принадлежит к расе багрянников.
Один из создателей врат Отправления — это подчёркивает его высокий интеллект.
Как мироходец и Первый, обладает рядом способностей:
перемещение между реальностями и во времени (в том числе с помощью маски);
большой запас Искры (особой энергии);
практически не подвержен старению;
высокий уровень интеллекта.

самки почти в два раза меньше. их хвосты тоньше но длиннее , броня более тонкая так же как и крылья , черные волосы и более длинные ресницы .самок не отдают на обучение как обычных багряников самцов им оно не подойдет зато они больше изучали магию .зато они были заметно умнее и хитрее

Как именно «обучают» юных багрянников
С самого рождения — выживание и адаптация. Багрянники появляются из коконов, которые подпитывают кровью; уже на этапе вылупления начинается естественный отбор: тот, кто не сможет прогрызть кокон, погибает или становится пищей для других. Это часть их системы «обучения».
Наставничество старших. Дети учатся у родителей и ближайших сородичей: как пользоваться силой, как охотиться, как применять сангвимантию (магию крови). Знания передаются не в классах, а в практике.
Ритуальные испытания. Ключевым «экзаменом» для молодого багрянника становится испытание на обескровливание жертвы за отведённое время (пока сыпется песок в ритуальных часах). Это проверка готовности к взрослой жизни и праву перемещаться между мирами. Именно так, например, Мрк’грш’траклар (Марк) прошёл испытание, не имея предрасположенности к сангвимантии, — он сделал это с помощью клинков.

Что вообще известно про матерей и рождение у багрянников
Это не про заботу, а про выживание. Для багрянников рождение — это первое испытание. Мать создаёт кокон и питает его своей кровью, но после этого никакой опеки нет. Дальше всё решает сила: кто смог выбраться сам, кто выжил в первые минуты, тот и достоин жить. Слабых могут даже уничтожить сородичи.
Кровь матери — это и есть сангвимантия. Магия крови у багрянников буквально начинается с рождения: эмбрион питается кровью матери, и именно так у него формируется связь с этой магией. Если этой связи нет (как у Марка), багрянник считается неполноценным по меркам своей расы.
Цена материнства. Учитывая, насколько багрянники жестоки и как сильно они ценят силу, сам факт того, что багрянка становится матерью, в их культуре почти не обсуждается как что-то почётное. Это скорее биологический процесс, встроенный в их систему естественного отбора.
Кокон — это ловушка и экзамен одновременно. Кокон делается так, чтобы стать тесным, когда детёныш полностью сформировался. Выбраться нужно самому, быстро и решительно. Если замешкаться — можно повредить крылья или задохнуться. Именно из-за сбоя на этом этапе у Марка такой маленький рост и нет способностей к магии крови: она не прошла это «первое испытание».

How these characters work in the

plot All this "gradation" is needed to show the scale of the problem: crimson people are not just monsters, but a society with a rigid hierarchy, where any deviation is punished. Against the background of this system, those who try to be different look especially bright: Mark, who seeks recognition through work; Shangrin, who wants to change the very essence of the race; and Guach, which generally puts the will above traditions.

Bloody Blacksmiths" (Masters of Arms)

This group is closest to Mark's interests, but operates on completely different principles:

Philosophy. They believe that the blade is an extension of the will. But unlike Mark, who puts his soul and labor into weapons, the "bloodsmiths" use blood and magic to temper metal. Their swords are literally "imbued" with someone else's will.
Appearance. They often have burnt, darkened chitin (from working in forges) and hands covered in ritual tattoos-patterns that help control heat and blood.
Attitude to Mark. For them, Mark is an anomaly: he makes weapons without sanguimancy, relying only on skill. In their eyes, this is almost heresy.
Crimson Planeswalkers of the highest rank

This is an elite that has already passed all the tests and moves freely between worlds:

Differences. They have more scars, their wings are slightly more worn (from constant transitions), and there are special marks on the chitin, denoting "visited worlds".
Status. They do not participate in conventional battles - their task is either to lead entire armies or to act as single agents of influence.
Psychology. Because of their vast experience and strength, they often become cynical and detached. For them, the life of an ordinary creature is worth almost nothing.
Those who rejected tradition (rare outcasts)

In addition to Mark, there are other crimson people in history who went against the system:

Why they are outcasts. Someone refused sanguimancy for ethical reasons, someone did not want to participate in genocide, and someone simply could not stand the cruelty of their culture.
Fate. Most often, they are killed by their own relatives. Those who manage to escape will face a life on the run: without clan support, without access to resources, and with the constant threat of being found.
Appearance. Such crimson patterns are often erased or deliberately spoiled as a sign of rejection of the past. Sometimes they wear masks or hoods to hide their race and mix with other peoples.

In the lore of "The Heart of the Universe", crimson people are not a faceless crowd, but a whole culture with different roles and types. In addition to Mark, Shangrin, and Guah, there are other members of the race, and each has its own function in this cruel system.

Ordinary crimson soldiers: the "meat" of the army and the cannonball

These are the very canonical four-meter insectoids that are shown in mass scenes. Their task is to be the embodiment of the threat:

Sameness as a weapon. They have similar patterns on chitin, identical cassocks, synchronicity of movements. This emphasizes that they are not individuals for the system, but tools.
Function of intimidation. They rarely speak, more often growl, snap their mandibles and spread their wings to suppress the opponent psychologically.
Swarm tactics. In battle, they act in packs, using numerical superiority and suppressing the enemy with mass and noise.
Ritual Masters (Overseers of Molting and Trials)

There is a separate caste of Crimson clans who are responsible for observing traditions:

Who are they. These are old, experienced warriors with the deepest scars. Their patterns are so complex that you can read the history of entire generations from them.
What they do. They make sure that the molt is "correct" and apply ritual marks. And they are also the ones who stand at the hourglass during the test of world walking, and decide whether the young crimson is worthy of living.
Character. Cold, uncompromising, almost emotionless. For them, tradition is more important than a separate life.

Conservatism without aggression. He adheres to traditions and established views, but he does it without fanaticism. When the Firsts make important decisions, Guach often takes a neutral stance, trying to maintain balance rather than force his point of view.
High intelligence and engineering mindset. This can be seen in his contribution to the lore: Guach, along with Lololoshka, is one of the creators of the Departure, a complex system for moving between realities. This suggests that he thinks large-scale, systematically and is able to cooperate on an equal footing.
Important plot details

Connection with Lololoshka. Their partnership is key. The fact that Planeswalker and Crimson were able not only to come to an agreement, but together to build the most complex structure like the Departure, emphasizes the uniqueness of Guach. He is able to see the value in others, even if they are not of his race and do not follow his traditions.
Position among the "First". In the group of the strongest Planeswalkers, Guah is the one who smooths out sharp corners. While others argue and pull the blanket over themselves, he offers solutions that take into account the interests of all parties.

Guah'tsh'khtar (Guah) is one of the most unusual crimson in the lore of the "Heart of the Universe". He is a member of the "First" group and is very different from the usual images of his race, both in appearance and in character.

Appearance: small, but not weak

Guah breaks stereotypes about crimson on several points at once:

Height. This is his most noticeable feature: he is even shorter than Mark. For a race where size is an indicator of strength and status, it's almost a challenge. But Guach does not look weak - rather compact and collected.
No mask. Among the "Firsts", everyone wears masks to control their Spark and energy. Gua is the only one who refused it. According to Egrassel, he did this because he considers his will so strong that he does not need any restraints. It is both a demonstration of strength and a kind of pride.
Armor and style. He wears crimson armor, which emphasizes his belonging to the Crimson Knights, but at the same time looks functional, without unnecessary ritual pretentiousness. He does not have the ostentatious cruelty that his relatives usually broadcast.
Classic features of scarlet. At the same time, it retains the basic characteristics of the race: insect-like anatomy, bright red eyes, two pairs of arms, wings and a tail. It's just that all this is "packaged" in a more compact format.
Character: neutrality

rare for the crimson Gua is incredibly calm and reasonable. His character is built on contrasts:

Friendliness as an anomaly. For a race that has been learning to kill since childhood and despises weakness, Guach is strikingly friendly. He does not look for a reason for conflict and does not try to dominate others.
The focus is on the will, not on blood. He is obsessed with the concept of "will" - this is the main measure of the value of a creature for him. But unlike most crimson people, he does not seek to take away someone else's will through violence. For him, will is the strength of the spirit, the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for them.

An attempt at redemption: a mission among the Crimson Knights. An important twist: Shangrin realized that his race's path led to a dead end. He left his usual place of power to try to stop the bloodshed among his kin and tell them that power can be gained without violence. This shows in him not only power, but also the ability to reflect - a rare quality for a crimson man.
Key character

traits Arrogance, but not empty. Shangrin is aware of his immense strength and antiquity, so he often behaves condescendingly. But this is not a whim, but rather a habit of a creature who has seen too much. He won't waste time on those he deems unworthy of attention, but if you prove that you have the will and character (as Lololoshka did), he'll treat you with respect.
Pragmatism and logic. He rarely acts on emotions. Even his cruelty used to be not so much from pleasure as from the conviction that this is how the world works. In arguments, he relies on facts and logic, not on shouting.
Craving for meaning. Unlike most crimson people who have enough of battle and blood, Shangrin is looking for a deeper meaning. His nickname "Revivalist" is not just about magic, but about an idea: he wants not to destroy, but to bring him back to life, to give him a second chance.
Loneliness and fatigue. Behind its imposing appearance hides fatigue from long centuries. He has seen a lot, done a lot, and now he is looking for something to continue for. That is why he reacts so sharply to sincerity: it is a rarity for him in this world.
Relationships with other characters (and how they reveal his character)

With Mark: teacher and student, almost father and son. Shangrin treats Mark not as a "mistake" but as a being who can be given a different path. He sees in Mark a potential that does not fit into the cruel confines of their race. Their connection is Shangrin's attempt to pass on his experience and show that being crimson doesn't necessarily mean being a killing machine.

How Appearance Reflects His Essence

His appearance is not just a "cool design," but a literal illustration of his history and power:

"Revived." Shangrin's nickname is directly related to his abilities and appearance. He can resurrect those whose bodies are well preserved, and he himself looks as if he survived death and returned - heavy chitin, ancient scars, three pairs of wings that seem to carry the weight of centuries.
Contrast with Mark. Visually, they are two sides of the same coin. Mark is thin, short, with almost smooth chitin, he tries to appear ferocious, but there is a sense of vulnerability in him. Shangrin is massive, scarred, with three pairs of wings; He does not try to prove anything, because his appearance itself is proof of strength and antiquity.
Intimidation as a tool. For crimson people, appearance is the language of power. Shangrin isn't just strong, he looks like others instinctively bow their heads. Its dimensions and details (stinger, mandibles, patterns) were created by the nature and culture of crimson precisely in order to suppress the will of the enemy even before the start of the battle.
From ruthless conqueror to tired philosopher

, Shangrin has a clear evolution of character, and it is convenient to divide it into stages:

Early years: bloodlust. At the beginning of his journey, he was a typical crimson man: cruel, arrogant, thirsty for strength and blood. He, like many of his relatives, destroyed worlds and did not see it as a problem. For him, this was a natural manifestation of strength.
The Age of the Cult of the Revivalist: calm and detachment. After spending more than 400 years on Aloterra, Shangrin has changed a lot. He became calmer, more reasonable, and much less impulsive. His cult was built not on blind worship, but on the idea of rebirth, but at the same time he maintained a certain distance from his followers. He judged people (and other beings) by their "Will"—by how strong they were in spirit, not by status.

Shangrin (full name Shandr'gralla'dtrin) is one of the most imposing and tragic crimson in the lore of Lolo. His image literally screams power and antiquity, and he is perfectly contrasted with Mark.

Appearance: the embodiment of the ideal of crimson

Shangrin is the standard of what a "real" crimson should be, and it looks as monumental as possible:

Height and scale. It almost reaches the canonical four meters (approximately 3.94 m). It's not just tall — it's massive, heavy, as if carved out of dark stone. Next to him, even ordinary crimson shirts seem a little less impressive, and Mark is a fragile teenager.
Chitin and armor. Its chitinous cover is incredibly thick and durable. It clearly shows deep ritual scars and patterns, a sign of countless battles and high status. Unlike Mark, who is dangerous to inflict such scars, Shangrin is literally "written" by the history of his people.
Wings. The Shangrin has three pairs of wings, which is its main visual feature, which distinguishes it from the rest of the crimson warblers (which have two). Two pairs are standard, and the third, the upper one, is narrower and stiffer, it gives the silhouette even more predatory. When he opens them, it looks like the straightening of a blood-black fan.
Head and face. Large mandibles, bright red eyes with dark red whites are classic traits of the race, but in Shangrin they are especially expressive. Often his face is partially hidden by a hood or shadow, which adds to the mystery of the image.
Tail. Its tail is segmented, like that of all crimson warblers, but longer and ends with a sharp, almost scorpion-like stinger - this is not only a balancer, but also a formidable weapon.
Clothing and details. He wears heavy black and scarlet robes and cloaks, which emphasize his status as a "Resurgence". In some scenes (especially in the boss-fight season "Heart of the Universe"), his wings and chitin are covered in crystalline skint patterns, which make his appearance even more otherworldly and dangerous.

Listen, in the lore of "The Heart of the Universe" it is this "wrong" appearance of Mark that is not just a detail, but literally the engine of his character and all conflicts. Let's take a look at how his appearance made others feel about him — and how he handled it himself.

How the Other Crimson Colored Men
Looked at Him For a race where strength, height, and sanguimancy were everything, Mark looked like a mistake.

It is immediately clear that he is "not like that". Due to his smaller stature and thinner chitin, he physically seemed weaker. For the crimson people, this is not a reason for sympathy, but a reason for contempt: they do not respect the "weak". In their culture, you have to prove the right to exist — with blood and victory.
Lack of ritual patterns. In adult scars, the body is covered with scars and rank symbols, which are applied to the soft chitin during molting. Mark has almost none: his cover is too thin to withstand such cuts. To his kinsmen, it read like a lack of merit, as if he hadn't passed any real test at all.
A "loser" in the eyes of the system. Even if Mark wanted to fit into the hierarchy, his body would not allow him to do so. He couldn't live up to the visual standard of the "perfect warrior," and that made him an outcast from the start.
How Appearance Affected Mark
Himself He didn't just endure ridicule – he turned his "inferiority" into armor.

The hood is like a shield. Mark almost always wears a hood, hiding his mandibles and facial features. It's not just about style — it's a way to hide your vulnerability. If no one sees how different he is, then he will not be able to point a finger at it right away.
Compensation by force. Since he could not be a "magical" crimson (he does not have sanguimanty), he relied on physical strength and skill. Hence his obsession with blacksmithing: he wanted his blade to speak for him louder than the scars on his body.
Aggression as a defense. His short-tempered and harsh nature is a reaction to the constant feeling of being judged and found insufficient. He was the first to attack to prevent others from humiliating him.

Hidden honor. Despite all his rudeness, Mark has his own code. For example, he felt gratitude for Lolloloshka, and this gratitude eventually overpowered his natural bloodthirstiness: he did not kill those he could, simply because Lolloloshka would not want to.
Unexpected hobbies (contrast with the image)

This is one of the cutest details of his lore, which perfectly shows his complexity:

Watchmaking. Mark is obsessed with watches. He likes both small pocket and huge floor mechanisms. For a creature whose culture is built on blood and slaughter, this is a very unusual interest. Perhaps he is fascinated by the very idea of counting time - after all, it is time (the sand in the ritual clock) that decides the fate of the crimson tree.
Blacksmithing. He is an excellent blacksmith and is very proud of his weapons. For him, the blade is not just a tool of murder, but the result of the work in which he invests himself. This is what he can be best at, even without magic.
I will make a reservation right away: it is noticeably different from its relatives, and this is the key to its history.

Growth. Mark is noticeably lower than the other crimson trees. Ordinary representatives of the race wave up to about four meters, but he does not. This is a direct consequence of the fact that it hatched from the cocoon underdeveloped.
Color. The body is dark brown, almost black.
Eyes. Crimson.
Clothes. He wears black and red robes, and hides his head under a hood. By the way, crimsons hide large mandibles (jaws) under the hood - Mark is no exception, just his appearance is generally less massive.
Due to the fact that it hatched prematurely, it also has thinner chitin. Therefore, as we have already discussed, it is dangerous to apply complex ritual scars on it - the cover can crack. Hence the almost complete absence of patterns on the body.

Mrk'grsh'traklar, aka Mark, is one of the brightest and most tragic crimson in the season of Heart of the Universe. His story is based on the fact that he does not fit into the cruel standards of his people.

Why it is "wrong"

The main reason for all its differences is that it hatched from a cocoon underdeveloped. For crimson animals, this is a disaster: while others grow in a nutritious bloody environment, Mark was born prematurely. Hence all its features:

Height. While ordinary crimson trees grow up to four meters, Mark is noticeably shorter. This is not just a "little adult", but a consequence of the fact that his body did not have time to stretch and gain mass.
Absence of sanguimanty. Crimson is born with a predisposition to blood magic, but Mark does not. In the culture of his race, this is considered a terrible flaw. He often calls himself a "mistake" and a "freak" because he cannot do what everyone around him knows how to do. Because of this, he did not pass the test of walking with a ritual clock - he had nothing to demonstrate.
Features of chitin. Its cover is thinner than that of its relatives. That is why there are almost no ritual scars on it: it is dangerous to apply patterns to thin chitin, it can crack.
Character and internal conflicts

Due to his status as an outcast, Mark grew up very bitter and proud. A typical defensive reaction works here:

Aggression is like armor. He tries to appear as cruel as possible so that no one guesses about his weakness. In battle, he is fierce, sometimes he does not even notice his allies and can injure them, because for him, the battle is a way to prove that he is worth something.
Search for recognition. For a long time, he was devoted to the Church of Purification and hoped that the "Father" would be able to grant him sanguimantia, making him a full-fledged purple. This hope was very important to him.

Molting: How Crimson Grows

Since crimson has chitin, they need to shed their old "shell" to grow. In the lore, this is not just biology, but also a dangerous ritual:

Shedding is vulnerability. The new cover is soft at first, and until it hardens, the crimson is almost defenseless. In clans, this time is strictly guarded, but if the enemy finds out about the molt, this is a chance to strike.
Connection with blood. To make the new chitin harden faster and become stronger, crimson minerals use blood - sometimes their own, sometimes someone else's. A drop of fresh blood rubbed into the fresh cover speeds up the process and makes the armor stronger. This is another reason why sanguimancy is so closely related to their body.
Risk of deformation. If molting takes place in a tight space, the wings or limbs may not spread properly. Hence the legends about the "cursed" crimson with crooked wings or fused tail segments.
Mark is a living example. Mrk'grsh'traklar (Mark) hatched underdeveloped, and his molts were different: chitin was thinner, tail segments fused more densely, causing him to become shorter and lose his predisposition to sanguimantia.

Crimson whales have a truly unusual anatomy! I picked up the details on the wings and tail - I will make a reservation right away: these are fan analysis of art and lore, and not official data from the videos, but the picture is quite clear.

Wings

Crimson warblers have two pairs of wings. If you look at the images, you can see that they are not just "plates", but have a complex structure:

Several layers. The wings seem to be compound: there are elements similar to elytra (dense, covering others), thinner flight wings and even a greatly reduced third pair.
Veined frame. Like many insects, the basis of the wing is a network of chitinous veins - they work as reinforcement, giving the plate strength and flexibility.
Pattern. Red and black patterns are often drawn on the wings. Fans notice that motifs such as eyes with vertical pupils or stripes are often encrypted in the patterns.
Crimson (Cercis) - Plants 26
Another interesting detail: the wings are able to fold compactly - about the same as those of earwigs. This is useful when the crimson is not in flight and wants to remove massive appendages.

Tail

The tail of crimson ducks also has a segmented structure - it consists of several segments, which is typical for insectoid creatures. Visually, it looks like an extension of the abdomen, but more mobile. In fan analysis, it is assumed that the tail can participate in balance during flight or in some specific movements, although this function is not explicitly spelled out in the canon.
Scarlet, Round-leaved, Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllum) - description, species, photos, care, transplantation, cultivation, diseases
A small nuance

Sometimes the character Mrk'grsh'traklar (Mark) pops up in discussions. Due to the fact that it hatched from the cocoon underdeveloped, its anatomy may differ slightly from the "classic" one, including in the details of the structure of the wings or tail.

The connection here is as follows: crimson is part of the lore (universe) of Lolologia's (Roman Filchenkov) videos. I have collected the main thing to make it easier to figure it out!
trying to make friends (zero successes)
The Crimson are an insectoid race from the Lolologsky universe. Here are their features:Height and physique. Crimson trees are very large - about four meters in height, massive, with pronounced insectoid (insect-like) anatomy.
Color. The body is completely black, and the wings have a red and black pattern. The eyes are bright red, with dark red white.
Limbs and wings. Crimson whales have six limbs: four arms and two legs. There are also two pairs of wings and a tail.
Head and face. The head is often hidden by the hood of the cloak, and under it you can see large mandibles (jaws), characteristic of insect-like creatures.
Clothes. They wear crimson and black loincloths and cassocks, as well as cloaks with hoods.

Character and culture: extremely cruel. They are taught to kill from an early age, and for the sake of blood and "will" they are ready to exterminate entire races. Battle ties are more important to them than family ties, so family ties are not so developed.
Magic (sanguimanty): literally blood magic. Crimson can affect creatures that have blood or life force in them, and even resurrect well-preserved bodies. Crimson Planeswalkers also use blood: for example, to move between worlds or understand the languages of local inhabitants (a drop is enough).
Origin: there are theories. According to one, the race originated in Archaea: dark red beetles ate the flesh of the First Mother, became anthropomorphic, gained the ability to walk the world, and dispersed throughout the multiverse. According to another, the crimson people initially lived in their "bloody" world and only later ended up in Archaea.
Development: Crimson trees emerge from cocoons. In order for the fetus to develop, it must be constantly nourished with fresh blood. When the creature is formed, it must gnaw through the cocoon. There is a caveat: sometimes the crimson survives without being fully formed (like Mrk'grsh'traklar) - because of this, he is shorter than others and without magic
