Homestuck: The fight for a New Universe [OOC]

[grayecastle]

You walk into your room, the place you call a haven but also a hell, some strange prison that has surrounded you for at least some portion of your life. The first thing you do is log into your Pesterchum account where you check up on all of the people you call friend's statuses. Maybe you'll talk to one but maybe you're not in the mood. Your friends have been pestering you about this game that has been exclusively given out to you and the other 3, and you may be anxious to try it or maybe not. Irregardless it is your destiny to begin a struggle, a struggle like you have never experienced before.

This is the fight for a new Universe, Homestuck.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You guys know the drill. Keep in mind as you create your characters that I will be deciding their role based on their personality and the way they behave before entering Sburb, also keep in mind that there are two required roles and if you want one of them you may not be able to attain them. Either way this is going to be fun.

Character Skeleton:

Name:
Age: (nothing too young or too old)
Pester Tag: (your pesterchum username)
Color and Quirk:
Personality: (Very Important)
Appearance:
Sex:
Strife Specubis: (Weapon of choice)

All characters will have a standard array fetch modus.

[Kilt Man Bagz]

will have a character up soon-ish

------

Side note, I have never stressed so much over designing a character before. The stakes of land and title are so high!

If having that likely never to be used unless I figure out a way to make a camera the shoots lasers secondary specibus is out of line, please let me know, I'll remove it.

Also let me know if this is enough information, or if I should elaborate more.


Name: Kyle Weeks

Age: 17

Pester Tag: strategicShutterbug

Color and Quirk: Pale blue [Kyle likes to frame his sentence with brackets.] [They remind him of pictures.]

Personality: Kyle is a friendly sort, if a bit formal even in casual situations. He fancies himself a gentleman at heart despite the fact he looks a little bit more like an art student or hippy. Given this gentlemanly aspect to his personality he is often quick to defend his friends, even if they could really handle it themselves. Kyle is rather perceptive, priding himself on his observational skills that aid him both in photography and is boxing. He is quick to pick up on little things, but tries to keep it to himself not wanting to seem creepy or accidentally disclose information he thinks he should about one friend to another.

Appearance: Kyle is a tall, somewhat skinny young man. Has short, very straight black hair and hazel eyes. He has a slight tan thanks to his love of photographing various landscapes keeping him outside, and her has a fairly toned body thanks to practicing boxing in his free time. A few freckles dot across his face. His hands are a bit calloused and scared from practicing boxing from a young age. Tends to wear a sleeveless black shirt with a light blue with what looks like the outline of a shuttered camera lenses. Often wearing old, faded jeans so as to not get anything important dirt if he out getting a particularly messy position for a photograph.

Sex: Male

Strife Specubis: Primarily Fistkind, he has Camerakind but has yet to figure out how to use it without hurting his cameras, and those are really expensive.

If you change your mind we could use another kid, or a Jack

Character Skeleton:

Name: Derek Brown
Age: 16
Pester Tag: SkillzdatKillz [SK]
Color and Quirk:Orange and,
he constantly tries to rhyme his words,
It's the coolest thing ya ever heard,
Don't mess with him or he'll flip you the bird,
Cuz it's his personality that he likes to assert.

He tends to rhyme when distressed, when he's put to the test.

when hes bein srs and tryin not to ryme tho he jus types normal b bad yo

Personality:

Quick passions mean that he's overemotional, by the way, and that includes happiness, rage, love, etc etc.

"Hey, I'll do what I have to to survive.
I'll do what I must to make it out alive."

Derek is a survivalist, in that survival is something he's had to struggle to accomplish, and that he's willing to do a lot to survive. He can be downright unscrupulous when his life is on the line, and has done some regrettable things.

"When you're in shadows is when hope burns bright,
and my friend it burns brighter than the brightest of lights,
So don't give in to fear let's work through this my friend,
cuz I'm keeping my hope till the bitterest end.

Derek tends to be a combination of pessimism and optimism. He thinks that everything will go wrong, but that if he pushes hard enough he can MAKE things go right. Determined, would be a good word to describe him. He's actually somewhat obsessed with coming out ahead, and sees life as a contest at times, to be 'won'.

"I got the sickest of sick beats as I'll show you,
don't deny it Luke you know it to be true,
because I grew up in a place that would make you cry,
so I developed my passions in a place where you'd die."

Derek loves to rap, and he loves to dance. He's good at both, though his dancing is usually the sort you'd see in a music video by a terrible modern rap artist. He can be very acrobatic while he dances as well.

"Man I know I have passions a little too strong,
and that I've let them run free for far too long.
But I'm no stoic and don't intend to be,
it ain't no sin to feel a bit strongly."

Derek is somewhat over emotional. He commits to things impulsively, gets angry very quickly, and is hit hard by tragedy. As a plus, this makes him incredibly easy to excite and make happy, and he's usually intensely loyal to his friends. As a negative, he could commit to the wrong friends, and he usually has a hard time admitting he's wrong when his first instincts are proven false.

"Life's too short to spend alone,
but with me you always have a home."

Derek tends to form bonds quickly. He'll call and acquaintence a friend, a friend a best friend, and a best friend a soulmate, and mean it. As a plus, this means he's friendly and charismatic, and he tends to try his best to do good things for those he cares about. As a negative, he commits too quickly to friendships that aren't healthy for him, which is a problem when you live in a rather crimefilled area and know plenty of people in gangs.

"Fuck the popo."

Derek's rebel streak is a little ridiculous. When he sees something that he should do, his first instinct is, "REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE YO." Considering his impulsiveness, this is bad.

"ACT NOW, PLAN LATER,
I'M ACTING LIKE A TERMINATOR."

Derek doesn't think ahead, but he's very good at improvising on the spot. If he were to actually try to be smart, he could likely impress others on an academic level. However, usually he just does something somewhat smart on the spot, seeming average at best and stupid more often.

"Whoops."

Derek has a habit of, whether through anger or by accident, breaking things. He actually managed to break his sylladex once, despite the fact that that is not a thing that happens. As a result, everything he uses is by definition broken, even if it's intact when he gets his hands on it.

Appearance: Derek is black with slanted almond eyes. His hair is curly and dark, and he wears it in short cornrows. His eyes are an odd orange color, despite his asian/african heritage. He tends to wear ragged clothing.
Sex: Male - Bisexual
Strife Specubis: He has a handlekind, 1/2 riflekind, streetsignkind, but he mostly uses the streetsignkind(which he got the first, and last time he ever went on a jog with a blank strife card)

Character Skeleton:

Name: Derek Brown
Age: 16
Pester Tag: SkillzdatKillz [SK]
Color and Quirk: Brown and, he constantly tries to rhyme his words,
It's the coolest thing ya ever heard,
Don't mess with him or he'll flip you the bird,
Cuz it's his personality that he likes to assert.

He tends to rhyme when distressed, when he's put to the test.

when hes bein srs and tryin not to ryme tho he jus types normal b bad yo
Personality: Derek is odd to say the least. He grew up in a pretty large city that was filled with crime, raised by only his grandmother. As a result, he decided to learn to defend himself and her, and spent money on a strife specibus. Or, well, a LOT of strife specibi, as he has a tendency to break them. He is a man of too quick passions, who makes decisions in the heat of the moment without thinking things through. He loves to rap and is a great break dancer. He's actually very smart, but rarely uses his intelligence except when he's forced to make quick decisions to escape danger. He tends to not give a shit about the law or leadership. He's also a MASSIVE SLUT.

Quick passions mean that he's overemotional, by the way, and that includes happiness, rage, love, etc etc.
Appearance: Derek is black with slanted almond eyes. His hair is curly and dark, and he wears it in short cornrows. His eyes are an extremely dark brown that might as well be black. He tends to wear ragged clothing.
Sex: Male - Bisexual
Strife Specubis: He has a handlekind, 1/2 bladekind, 1/2 riflekind, 1/2pistolkind, streetsignkind and fistkind specibi, but he mostly uses the streetsignkind(which he got the first, and last time he ever went on a jog with a blank strife card)

(Also, would it be alright if I had a hashrap sylladex like Dirk? If not, that's cool, but it would totally be fitting for my character.)

Couple of adjustments I would like you to make
-The character seems to be Dave-ish but I can excuse that if you just disregard the hashrap sylladex
-Change your pester text color (make it an easier to read color)
-Please stick to one or two strife specubi

[grayecastle]

If activity doesn't increase we may have to reboot

[MalTheAwesome]

I don't see how my character's Dave-ish, other than the rapping thing and the fact that he has a 1/2bladekind strife specibus.

I changed the text color and reduced the number of specibi. Is it alright if I keep the 1/2 riflekind and the handlekind stuff? I like the idea of my character having literally useless strife cards due to his habit of accidentally breaking weapons, and I can't imagine how anyone short of Equius level strength could make a 1/2 riflekind strife card useful.

Edit: His useful strifecards will be the streetsignkind and 1/2bladekind, but the 1/2bladekind will mostly be used as a shiv or knife, rather than just pulling a Dave and using it like a straight up normal sword.

[RandomEncounter]

Name: Nina Elwick

Age: 15

Pester Tag: TenebrousAlembic [TA]

Color and Quirk: She types in light green and tends. To put full stops in places where they oughtn't be; otherwise. Her grammar is. Excellent.

Personality: Nina is somewhat withdrawn, spending rather more time studying or on the computer than with anybody else. She considers herself an academic and, in fairness, she is certainly book smart; however, she lack common sense somewhat and will often come up with a far more complex and difficult solution to a problem which could easily be solved by simple means. She is, first and foremost, a chemist and has all the paraphernalia that would imply. Well, all that one might feasibly attain at fifteen years of age, anyway. She tends to rely overmuch on sarcasm and a kind of self-deprecating humour as a defence mechanism to stop people getting too close, as she is uncomfortable with discussing her personal life even with quite close friends. She also writes fanfiction, though she'd never let anyone see it (And it's not much good, anyway.) Despite her attempts to hide it, she is desperately self-conscious.

Appearance: Nina is petite, even for her age, with light brown hair, tied up in a simple bun just to keep it out of the way. When it is untied – which is very rarely indeed – it stretches just a little past her shoulders. She is quite pale-skinned; after all, she doesn't get out much. Where would she go, living in the middle of nowhere? She dresses quite conservatively, usually favouring a simple white button down top and black skirt, with maybe an unobtrusive bracelet or necklace if she's feeling particularly flamboyant.

Sex: Female

Strife Specibus: Vialkind – Nina's primary weapon is largely the vials of miscellaneous stuff she's cooked up in her home laboratory; however, these have somewhat unpredictable effects - even Nina's usually not sure what they're going to do. From exploding to enlarging their target.

Welp, here we go. I think it covers the salient points, though I could probably expand it if you so require.

[grayecastle]

Reboot goes up tonight. Maybe around midnight or so
