![]() He believes that the trolls are “ all goiing two diie ”. He hears voices of the imminently deceased that warn him of the annihilation of Alternia. This is probably the Alternian equivalent of an apartment building. Sollux lives in a large city filled with skyscrapers known as “ COMMUNAL HIVE STEM ”s. One of the twins being named Castor is possibly the reason why his class is Mage (Castor -> Cast). Sollux Captor was most likely named from "Castor Pollux" as suggested by Avi. It is also the phenomenon over which, by mythology, the twins preside as gods. Elmo's fire, which, like Sollux's psionics, is an electrical emanation that appears as a colored aura around the affected object. Additionally, Pollux and Castor is an archaic name for St. Pollux and Castor were also the names of two characters in the movie Face/Off, a Nicolas Cage flick that came out the same year as Con Air and one that John has a poster of in his room. Castor and Pollux were famous mythological twins, which is where Gemini- Latin for "twins"-gets its name. It is also worth noting that Pollux is a red giant, while Castor is bluish white, complementing the red/blue duality theme. If one switches the S and P in his name it becomes "Pollux Castor." Pollux and Castor are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini. This association is reinforced by his bee motif and association with Mind Honey. ![]() This in turn may be a reference to the Comb Rave Fill 'Em With Daylight, the result of which is the bifurcation of the universe. Together with the Latin word captor, this implies his name would literally mean 'Sunlight Catcher'.

Incidentally, the word "mage" is in the word "armageddons". ![]() He mentions to Terezi that this will happen before he goes blind, which also may be a reference to his title as the Mage of Doom, as he is able to predict unfortunate events. The first is the fact that he will die twice, (due to his dream selves on both Derse and Prospit), and the second being the end of the two universes. His username, “ twinArmageddons ”, reflects two meanings. When his teeth are later knocked out, he begins to talk like Aradia (zeros replacing selected Os) due to losing his lisp. He often combines two sentences into a single line, but with no punctuation apart from a single period at the very end. His typing quirk is meant to convey that he speaks with a bit of a lisp, possibly a reference to the programming language Lisp. His duality theme is also a reference to binary code, because of his talent at computer programming. His associated zodiac sign is Gemini (♊), and he has two horns on each side of his head, as the number two and duality are a theme for him, because of his relations to Gemini. Sollux Captor, also known by his Trollian handle, “ twinArmageddons ”, is one of the trolls. Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 4 => (8 pp.) => (4 pp.)
