Spite me? If that was your intention, you failed pretty hard because I was not spited. Now for the fact uh... I guess one would be that Leeroy actually went through about 3-4 caste & color changes throughout the development of the spectre race.
One was when the caste was color-based like the trolls. The "spectreum" was actually based on mood colors, and then the ranking was formed based on what would be most suited for leading the race. This was the "spectreum" originally:
-GREY: Maturity, stability, authority [Never loses cool, authority, mature] Rule.
-WHITE: Purity, goodness, cleanliness [Clean, pure, good] Order.
-BLUE: Peace, tranquility, trust [Calm, obeys all rules, passive] Peace.
-RED: Passion, energy, danger [Enthusiastic, hot-headed, loves thrills] Action.
-PURPLE: Elegance, wisdom, royalty [Quiet, elegant, royal] Guide.
-VIOLET: Judgement, experience, truth [Excellent judgement, fair, brutally truthful] Judge.
-ORANGE: Thinking, home, ideas [Active imagination, planner, problem solver] Solve.
-PINK: Creativity, perception, insight [Inventive, observant, thinker] Think.
-GREEN: Growth, intelligence, renewal [Mature, smart, forgives easily] Grow.
-BROWN: Coziness, comfort, adaptation [Mix, comfort, easily adjusts] Comfort.
-YELLOW: Caution, friendliness, happiness [Careful, mellow, happy] Bond.
-BLACK: Power, mystery, death [Dirty, corrupted, criminal, bad] Chaos.
In this "spectreum", Leeroy would have been red and in the 4th highest rank.
Then one of the four SCAPE authors said we shouldn't do it and have one for each color because it'd be 12 and too much like the trolls. So he suggested his own idea, which was a system based on a balance like a yin/yang sorta thing. It went Black->Red->Purple<-Blue<-White, where pure purple was a perfect balance.
Black/Red spectres were more rogueish and criminalish while Blue/White spectres were goody two-shoes. I think Black/Reds were more skilled in agility & stealth, while Blue/White were more skilled in medical stuff I think? Or magic? I don't fully recall and don't care to find it. This is the system where Leeroy donned purple and was top dog in royalty. Then me & the original spectre creator changed it again to...something else that I forget, but Leeroy was still purple but lost royalty status.
tl;dr Leeroy was once royalty and once a high-ranking part of spectre society throughout development of the spectre race
Now then...I taaaaag theDrunkenManatee
