Head canon:
Eridan, when he was young, was taken by a rich and greedy carapace, only taking a troll because of the allocation that would get him. He doesn't cared much for Eridan, only doing what important to keep the allocation. That would led the purple blooded troll to be bitter and violent, since his guardian don't give him the love that could have calmed a highblood. Finally, he would pass more time with older sea dwellers than with his guardian. They explained him how it was, back on Alternia. Eridan often dream of those time of glory and develop a vivid hate for humans, carapaces and lowbloods, and considered them to be inferior.
When he began to go to school, this lead him to having no friends, except Feferi, who liked to think he wasn't all like he said. This eventually lead to moirallegiance between the two, and they were very close friends. But Eridan began to long for more, for something a bit more reddish. What he particularly dislike was that she had a lot of friend, particularly a lowblood troll who lives in the lower district. Eridan was beginning to fear that he might steal her from him. He began to plan to follow Feferi to prevent her from beginning matespritship with someone, but she were always talking to him before he begin when he wanted to and making him forgot.
When the Condesce make her army, Eridan think it were the just thing to do, that since they sea dweller, they SHOULD be the rulers. So, after he learn that, he go search Feferi so they can join the Condesce together. But, when he find her, she refuse to follow him to join the Condesce. That mad him mad, and, even though he deny that, quite sad. A violent argumentation followed, where Feferi ended their moirallegiance.
After that, Eridan desperate. He wanted to ask Feferi to be his matesprite, but he didn't find his words... After that, he went to the slums, and he started to destroy thing in the junk yard. He hurt himself, but didn't care. He end up in tears. Nobody understand him, not even Fef. He was mad at the world, sad at the world. What nobody see was, behind his anger, there was someone who can't stand emotional difficulties. He never had a heart of stone; but nobody cared of him, even his "guardian". He was sad at the world, mad at the world...
That's when he met the Condesce in person. She saw his distress and use it to her advantage. He would tell her the love problems he was having with Feferi, and the Condesce promise him that when she would make them the prince and the princess of Derse. That secured him, but what he disapprove was the Condesce alliance with the agents. During the coup d'état, Eridan was standing next to the Condesce and even kill one of the nobles opposing her.
After that, he officially became the prince, but his problems with Feferi didn't fix, they actually turn worse... Also, he suspect the Seer to be a traitor, even if she appear tobe with them, and hate her because of her strange conduct. He believe the Condesce should kill her, but she didn't want because the Seer could prove useful.
Now, Eridan is lost. He didn't know what to do. He always believe in the Condesce, but he is not sure if that the good thing to do, particularly when he look at his degrading situation with Feferi. Love may lead him to join the rebels later on... Mad and sad, sad and sad...
Physical head canon:
Eridan have a slender body, and does not have a lot of muscle, but he got hidden strength in these. He is tall, about 5'11" and got a lot of jewelries, even if he is a guy. He keeps himself very fashioned, since he is a prince now, and all that. The angles of his horns are very sharp. His hair are black like all trolls, but have purple highlights. Finally, he usually wear a cape, he find that styled. He also ALWAYS wear is scarf, and he has glasses.
Roleplay sample:
Eridan walked in the palace, going to the door of Feferi room. He began to wait in face of it, like always. But it was no use. Fef refuse to talk to him since they became the new prince and princess of Derse. Eridan prepare to go when he think of a way to talk to here. He could write something on a paper and slip it under the door. But it will surely be of no use, when she will see the word come from him, she will surely tear it off.
Since he is the prince, things are... a bit different. He is no longer mad. Just sad... for now. He wants to excuse himself to Feferi, but he can never see her. He doesn't know what to do. He is sorry for being mad at her... He wonder if there is a way to let her know that and that she listen it... All that began to make him sick... He guess that he doesn't hate everyone as much as he think...
He wonder what the princess is doing right now... She's probably trying one of those stupid dress that are too big for her... Eridan like her just how she is, not with those idiot dress that are "enhancing her figure"!
As Eridan make is way back to his room, he wonder if he had make the right choice by following the Condesce...
