Fandom Homestuck Roleplay: Sburb Omega

[Elision of Ecritures]

Character Sign Up Sheets

By now you've probably Guessed my already present typing quirks as I laugh maniacally behind my screen, but nonetheless, this is the Character Sign Up Section where you're free to create you Homestuck Character. Remember to go by the natural laws of Homestuck, like as in their Class cannot be a Reaper and their Aspect may not be Scarves.

Tee-Hee, Scarf Reaper.

Anyway, here is where the Characters will be posted, and while you can't just go about breaking the lore of the series, you still have your imagination and creativity! As a result of this forum's need to stay nice and connected to the lore of the series, it would be best if everyone took a simple glance to reference their characters aspect and class as well as Dreaming Planet from the link referenced below. Just to make you're character as canonical as possible! I sound pretty awful but I hope it's not as bad as I fear it could be.

Dahni — The Light Aspect and its God Tiers/Classpect Roles

Additionally, I'd like the concepts such as Dreaming Moons and Passive and Active classes to be even, so please look at the Overview where you will find a list of the Characters and their attributes, just to check as to make sure you're all set.

Below you'll find the Codes for a Nice little Character Sheet I've come across and Augmented for the Rp!

Name: Athena Katsaros

Age: 16


Sexual Orientation: Asexual


Nationality: Greek


Zodiac Sign: Libra


Bloodtype: A+


Place of Birth: Athens, Greece


Guardian: Grandpa


Typing Quirk and Color: She speaks with proper grammar and punctuation. Her colour is this.


Pesterchum Handle: glaukopisGlaux

Physical Characteristics

Height: 186cm


Weight: 70kg


Hair: Very short dark brown hair, curly.


Eyes: Light brown.


Distinguishing Mark: She has braces. :v


General Appearance: Pretty tall and pretty lean girl, even kind of gangling.


Physical Strengths: She has the height advantage. It's easier to climb that tree when you can actually reach the branches. You won't mark her as a body-builder either, but if you need someone to help you carrying couch, she will take one end of it.


Physical Weaknesses: Her height is a disadvantage too, and her long limbs can make her clumsy, tripping while running - or well, having to slow down so she doesn't fall over.


Strife Specibus: spearKind


Fetch Modus: Fortune cookies Modus - she stores her possessions inside fortune cookies. You can never know what one brings, though! You gotta break it and see for yourself what the fate intended for you. She sucks at using it, before entering the game and learning to use her powers of ~LUCK~.

Mental Characteristics

Friends:


Current Goals/Purpose: Finding a way to rationalize absolutely every single issue in the whole wide world.


Asperations: See the goals.


Hobbies: Reading, playing chess, photography, philosophy, history, devoting time to gods...


Likes: Organization, tradition, indoors, poetry, music, novels, and simple comptuer games, polytheism.


She actually has a small window shrine to greek gods. She has her own analytical approach to the old religion. (Will explain it later).


Dislikes: Mess, too modern things (modern music, modern arts, modern clothes etc).


Talents: - Goal orientated


- Clever


- Analytic


- Curious


- Broad general knowledge


Inabilities: - Can seem uncaring or ignoring emotions of others because of her ~analytic~ approach to everything


- Has to know everything going on


- Stuck up


- Can't be spontaneous AT ALL


- Can seem pushy because she believes her way is the right way


Fears: - Not having instructions on how to do something


- Not knowing enough


- Being considered stupid or not listened to


General Personality: A person who likes to know everything, and cannot be spontaneous. If you need her to do something, you need to give her steps, and in between steps, and what happens when you meet a problem. Not because she is stupid - no, Athena is a smart, analytic girl, but she likes to keep to schedule, especially if she is doing something for someone. She is pretty goal-orientated.


Because of her analytic approach to everything, she may come off as uncaring or without any deep emotions - she expresses the surface emotions, such as anger, annoyance, etc, but inside ones, like doubt? You wouldn't bet on it, exactly. She is pretty realistic with things. "LIFE HAPPENS AND THEN YOU DIE AND YOU AREN'T THE FIRST ONE IT HAPPENED TO".


She has a need to voice her opinion about most things, and tell you how the things, itself, doesn't matter because hey, it'll pass. She's quite talkative.


An active person who likes to organize everyone else and be in the spot(LIGHT) haha. Sorry. She has to know what's going on and everything has to be planned out, closely, and without possibility of that leaving any surprises.


Inner Personality: She is someone who analyzes everything. Everything. That's why she loves books, and that's why most of her books have notes all over them, explaining certain character's personality, or why they did that. She feels insecure without knowing what exactly is going on.


She rarely shares her thought-proccess with others though, because of fear she might be wrong, and because she is scared it might let others be 'one step in front her', when she wants to be one step in front of everyone else. To her, "knowledge is power" works, and she rather keeps it to herself than sharing it, because she is sure she can work the best with it. She's an egoist - she cannot give to others, which is something she has to learn as a knight.


Another thing, similiarly to Rodja, is her take on knowledge as whole, and learning how to use it, see it, and how it's not merely something to show off, but the meaning behind it.


Even though she seems quite confident on the outside, inside she frequently second-doubts herself and insecure in her emotions and feelings, she has to justify everything ever. That's also the deal with her believing into old gods - she has rationalized the religion, and not wanting to seem silly, she explains it as "placebo effect" to everyone else, and herself too. Even though she actually believes that her prayers have an effect. She cares a lot about people seeing her as one standing on the ground firmly, and that's why she acts so.





Secret: 'S mostly all said in top two.

Items

Aspect: Knight


Class: Light


Full Title: Knight of Light


Planet In-Game: Land of Shrines and Ladybugs


Dreaming planet: Prospit

History

General History: She has grown up with her loving and caring grandfather in household that made its money off tourism. That's why she is so connected to the traditional culture, she has grown up surrounded by it. She is one of people who volounteer for traditional festivals and guide tourists around while dressed in togas. Tradition plays very, very important part in her life, and she uses her national identity as a shield, often mentioning it.


Present Life: Welp, see the history.

Slightly short of words due to a slightly icy demeanor he as a character has a tendency to be as frank as possible. Never failing to state the truth which he can sometimes rise a slight twinge of anger from a second party as a result. While very frank on the outside, he is actually slightly veiled and his emotions can slightly be classified as grayed while he is often called 'apathetic.'


Inner Personality: Inside himself what James has often skimming under the surface is the reality of what a truly bitter person he is. Often resting inside him is an abyss of sarcasm as well as a lack for having anything creative within himself. In most situations however some of his true personality comes out of his actual passion which emits an easily angered, flustered and protective person with very loyal ties. Bound to the people he favors and cares for the most, he will become just a easily angered, emotional guy who is now still warmed and fueled by a connection he has for his friends who often remain his own protectors additionally, being the thing which keeps him so level-headed and calmed while his sheer existence makes for a lot of complications around him.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, like all trolls


Nationality: Alternian


Zodiac Sign: Aquarius


Bloodtype: Royal Purple (2nd from the top)

Pesterchum Handle: lurkingVariable

Physical Characteristics

Height: 5'10"


Weight: 130 lbs.


Hair: Jet-black


Eyes: Yellow, like all trolls


Distinguishing Mark: She's a ****ing troll. Also, she has an X-shaped scar over her left eye and has the sea-dweller gills.


General Appearance: Other than, you know, being a troll, she has a slimmer build, with decent muscle mass.


Physical Strengths: She is hardy, with lots of stamina, and is used to enduring extended periods of physical activity. Like her sea-dweller brethren, she can breath both underwater and on land with dual-function lungs and gills.


Physical Weaknesses: Although nimble and agile, Crocia is not very fast, and can be outrun with relative ease on flat, dry land. The Earth's sun won't blind her, but her skin is somewhat sensitive to its radiation and will burn faster than a human's under prolonged exposure.


Strife Specibus: knifeKind


Fetch Modus: Greed Modus (Infinite storage capacity, items can only be retrieved by captchaloguing an item of equal value)

Mental Characteristics

Friends: Snapdad, Mama, her silly human friends that still use Pesterchum. Can't they see how superior Trollian is?


Current Goals/Purpose: To find where she belongs, to figure out how she wound up on Earth, and to survive.


Aspirations: To one day return to Alternia and live a fulfilling life there.

Talents: Music, wood carving, knife throwing, knife combat, exploring, skilled with basic wiring and machinery


Inabilities: Resist curiosity, take risks, accept blame


Fears: Being discovered and killed, appearing inadequate or useless to others, drowning


General Personality: Crocia is a spirited lass, not afraid to speak her mind and give her opinions on things. She is bold and independent, but is insensitive of the feelings of others and has a bit of an ego. She has a bad habit of seeing herself as better than other people, specifically humans, and often says hurtful things without realizing it. However, she cherishes her human friends, and cannot help but be curious about human culture.


Inner Personality: Internally, Crocia struggles to maintain an identity for herself. Stranded on an alien world and separated from her race, she constantly works to answer her questions about her own aspects and characteristics. She daydreams often of life on Alternia and longs to find her way back there some day (and maybe find compatible quadrant-mates ).


Secret: She actually finds human culture fascinating and loves learning new things about it, but refuses to admit it and insists that troll culture is superior.

Sburb Characteristics

Aspect: Heart


Class: Witch


Full Title: Witch of Heart


Planet In-Game: Land of Chords and Spectres (LoCaS)


Dreaming Planet: Prospit

History

General History: Crocia was originally a member of a party of Alternian trolls, who had found the SGRUB software and started their own session. However, the party member responsible for paradox cloning accidentally made two paradox clones, resulting in two baby Crocia grubs. One was sent on a meteor to paradoxically become the existing Crocia, and to avoid causing a rift in space and time, the "spare" Crocia, a lusus, and the lusus's impressive hoard of treasure and Alternian media were sent into a portal that led not back in time, but into a completely different universe: that of the humans. They landed in a dark swamp, where the her lusus would quickly claim as its territory. It chose a nearby cave as the destination to keep its massive hoard and spent its time doing nothing but guarding the hoard or hunting. Eventually, a female human explorer discovered the young troll and her lusus, and seeing the troll neglected by its beastly guardian, took it upon herself to raise Crocia as her adopted daughter. Crocia grew up with nothing but sappy Alternian romance novels, Alternian movies, and whatever discarded human junk she and her Mama managed to salvage from the depths of the marsh. Using a laptop from the hoard of her greedy lusus and some self-invented wiring and hookups, she secured an internet connection and eventually met a small group of human friends.


Present Life: Crocia lives peacefully in her home marsh, salvaging, songwriting, woodcarving, and watching pirated human movies on the internet. That is, when she isn't teasing her human friends and chatting them up.

Character Statistics

Name: Katherine Mores


Name Meaning: The name 'Mores' is taken from Mors, the ancient Roman personification of death.


Alias: Kat, The Doctor


Gender: Female


Age: 15


Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual


Nationality: Canadian


Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius


Blood Type: O positive


Place of Residence: Vancouver, British Columbia


Guardian: Mom (biologically unrelated), Dad (deceased)


Typing Quirk and Color: She types in a lime green and uses perfect grammar and capitalization, except for when she sacrifices the rules a leeeetle bit to convey a more... conversational tone.


Pesterchum Handle: epochalHarbinger

Physical Characteristics

Height: 5'3"


Weight: 125 lbs


Hair: Red


Eyes: Green


Distinguishing Mark: Her hair is a vibrant red colour.


General Appearance: Kat is rather short, but tends to take up a lot of metaphorical space by being very animated when she talks. She usually wears shorts and a t-shirt with a picture of the Deathly Hallows symbol from the Harry Potter series.


Physical Strengths: Fairly strong and fast


Physical Weaknesses: Bad balance and is prone to tripping over things


Strife Specibus: ElectricFlySwatterKind


Fetch Modus Type: Taboo Modus: When you want a certain item, you're given a card with five words related to the item on it. To get the item you have to describe it without using it's name or the five words.

Mental Characteristics

Friends: Her friends on Pesterchum and her interuniversal pen pal, RA.


Current Goals/Purpose: To have fun playing the new game that's out with her internet buddies.


Aspirations: To find out how her father died.


Hobbies:

• Reading escapist literature
  
• Watching TV and movies
  
• Writing (terrible) fanfiction
  
• Playing hockey (fairly good at it)
  

Likes:

• The internet
  
• Classical music
  
• Ancient history
  
• Pizza
  

Dislikes:

• The rest of her hockey team
  
• Her classmates
  
• Organization
  

Talents:

• Strategy
  
• Grasping difficult concepts, such as in math or weird time shenanigans
  

Inabilities:

• Making friends in real life
  
• Focusing on things for an extended period of time
  
• Thinking things through before she does them
  

Fears:

• Discovering she can't trust the people around her
  
• Contracting a terminal illness
  

General Personality: Kat has a tendency to speak her mind before her brain catches up. The fact that she doesn't have any real-life friends can probably be attributed to her penchant for saying extremely offensive things to the people around her when she's upset. Talking to people online usually gives her enough time to filter what she says so she doesn't drive everyone away. She normally comes off as extremely excitable, and talks very fast. She doesn't like routine, and will go out of her way to avoid it whenever possible.


Inner Personality: For the most part with Kat, what she is on the surface is what she is underneath. She's never been particularly introspective, and has always had high self-esteem, never questioning the assumption that she's the hero of the story. In truth, she's rather self-centered and childish, but she genuinely cares about the people around her. It will come as a shock when she realizes that she's not infallible.

Sburb Characteristics

Aspect: Time


Class: Rogue


Full Title: Rogue of Time


Planet In-Game: Land of Sand and Precipices


Dreaming Planet: Derse

History

General History: After her meteor landed on Earth, Kat was found and adopted by her biological father and his wife. It was three years later that Kat's father was found dead in an alleyway under mysterious circumstances. This caused her mother to be rather overprotective throughout her childhood and wouldn't let her use any weapons, leaving her completely unprepared for the game.


Present Life: On Kat's thirteenth birthday, her mother gave her a package left by her father. Inside was a transmaterializer, which contained a letter sent by someone called RA. The two of them began corresponding and eventually became good friends despite the fact that he won't tell her his name.

Nationality: American


Zodiac Sign: Leo


Bloodtype: A-

Pesterchum Handle: arrantTachyon

Physical Characteristics

Height: 5'11"


Weight: 135


Hair: A vibrant blond. Was partially dyed black several years ago and has never gone back to normal since.


Eyes: A shiny but dirty gold, not quite amber.


Distinguishing Mark: Distinct hair color and a pixelated Jolteon on about half of his wardrobe.


General Appearance: On the tall side, very pale, very thin but very wiry, powerful eyebrows, sharp canines. Not abnormally so, and certainly not fang-like, but enough to periodically aggrieve the inside of his mouth on accident, mostly in his sleep.


Physical Strengths:

• Very flexible
  
• Very fast
  
• Fairly strong
  
• An amateur martial artist
  
• An amateur at flash-stepping
  

Physical Weaknesses:

• Very unhealthy; strong muscles perhaps but weak constitution
  
• Lacks cardio; runs out of breath quickly
  
• Ticklish
  

Strife Specibus: Tonfakind


Fetch Modus: Very Best Modus (Every item is assigned two pokemon vaguely related to it whenever it is captchalogued. Ryan selects an equal number of pokemon he owns and engages the pokemon with his own. If he manages to beat them, the item is retrieved. If he loses, the item is not retrieved and the battle must be done over again. If he ties, the item is ejected violently. He can captchalogue items of large sizes, but larger items are assigned more pokemon and battled with an equal number of pokemon. A piece of large furniture like a wardrobe would be assigned three pokemon. Very large items such as a temple pillar would be assigned four pokemon. items the size of a bedroom would be assigned five pokemon. Anything approaching the size of a house would receive a full team of six pokemon. He's never captchalogued anything that large, and the manual for the modus says he should make sure never to captchalogue anything bigger. If he captchalogues very small and insignificant items such as a singular sewing needle, it can be assigned a single pokemon instead of two. He can captchalogue as many items as he desires as long as the total number of pokemon assigned to them does not exceed 420. Ryan is unaware of any pokemon generation beyond three, so until he learns of later generations, items cannot be assigned pokemon that come from any generation beyond three. It can be fairly time-consuming to retrieve items from his sylladex)

Mental Characteristics

History

General History: Ryan was sheltered by his adoptive bro-dad from a young age, forbidden from leaving the house, having his internet (but not Pesterchum) access restricted, homeschooled after kindergarten, and living in a house with no cable television. He owns many video game consoles, but many of them are old. He was taught self-defense by his guardian, Al, who is rarely actually around for one reason or another. They aren't close, but Al at least humors Ryan's strife requests and allows him to enter local martial arts tournaments, which he's won a few of. Al is an atheist and accordingly discourages Ryan from pursuing his theistic curiosity. As a result of Al's (elicit) website, there are many inappropriate items lying about his apartment at any given moment, many of which are BDSM related, which has resulted in mild cleithrophobia and made him a bit of a prude. The fact that Al keeps the doors of his apartment locked means Ryan sits on his windowsills whenever he wants fresh air.


Present Life: Ryan spends a lot of his time bored

I like your character very much and believe it to be just the kind of care I want in your writing while you're here, and while there's a small problem with him I'd still like to give you a spot on the forum nonetheless as our sixth and final member.


Th problem is, as you might recall from the series, there was an even number of male and female sburb players in all so far represented sburb sessions. And now, In this session so far we have three male characters and two female characters. So to make the actual mix work I would need for you to have a female character and I would also need you to have her as a prospit Dreamer so we can also even the correct order of dreamers additionally just as another thi g to keep in mind although you already have a prospit dreamer.


As for your various attributes, fetch modus, history, personality and so forth, they all look acceptable, but I do need a female character, so if you could change the Gender and name it would great and wonderful.


 
And additionally to have her have a passive title would additionally be very helpful to the mix.


I'm very sorry though because whenever this happens I feel very hypocritical and additionally very bossy to the people around me after I say 'have fun and be creative' when already there's now a whole criteria you have to meet.

 

[Ryik]

While I disagree with your choice to stick to the even-gender-ratio dynamic of Sburb, I'd understand if you wouldn't change your mind about it if I fail to convince you, and I suppose I might be able to whip up a second character for the RP. (Ryan doesn't strike me as a gender-bend-compatible character) Anyway, for the time being I'd like to present a few points:


An even gender ratio is a constant in sburb, yes, but so is many other things that are not abided by such as:

• Naming conventions in which first names consist of four letters and last names consist of 6-7 letters
  
• Pesterchum handle naming conventions in which all handles only have the initials of G, C, A, or T- the four initials for the four nucleotides used in strands of DNA, which were expanded upon by the cherubs to represent the Uracil that replaces Thymine in RNA
  
• Even gender ratios amongst guardians, (currently 4 females to two males, including "Snapdad"- would be more uneven if Crocia had a proper ancestor) which I believe would sufficiently counterbalance the gender ratio when you look at stuff like ectobiology.
  

As well, given the respective sexualities of all the characters, there's a greater "demand" for males.


Let me know what you think.

 

[Elision of Ecritures]

While these minute details aren't exactly followed as strictly as they were canonically these details happen to be less productive to the actual character development and equality of the actual number of Sburb players as a whole, while on the other hand an equal gender ratio happens to be fundamental. To reference your past statement concerning the differentiation and uneven number being acceptable there would be two results;

• First, the Dream Planets would actually form somewhat of an order to them in terms of how one female exists in each dreaming Moon (or planet, whatever) while there are two males for each planet. This would result in at least somewhat of an order to how Dream Selves are assigned accordingly. This happens to actually help justify your reasoning as to making your character male.
  
• Additionally we have the ratio I refer to yet again. As you can understand your claim on 'a need for more males' due to current status of sexuality on many characters. For a first, I don't quite understand your reasoning for that since most characters (especially the males) seem to be actually quite open to a variety of romantic relationships if you were talking along lines of mating.
  
• And finally, it would be unfair to others if I was to grant you access to that actual criteria of character considering that since another member joined earlier with slight reservations on making a character, yet made a female character anyway i don't suppose it would seem fair in the eyes of many that I'm granting you privilege he couldn't have in making his character female or male.
  

 
So what I'm saying is that we have decided to obey at least the fundamental concepts of the Cannon to keep with good plot development and an even number in Gender ratio so things feel even in taht playing field. If we had to many males, the females I fear would be overshadowed and would have less of a part in the story we're trying to convey.


I will though admittedly have to look at the Guardians gender ratio and revise it by asking a few of the member to change their characters Guardian's due to complications it would present in the near future with a post Scratch B2 world, good catch on that one!

I'm not sure what you are referring to with the dream planets, as I don't recall anything like that being mandated in canon. If it has something to do with gender ratios on Prospit and Derse, the troll's session is a counterexample to that, with 5 derse dreamers and 7 prospit dreamers, an extra male of Sollux in both and Aradia not having her own dream tower thing because she was already dead. Uh... that is relevant right? i'm not quite sure what's being said here.


You mention you don't want the females in our session to become overshadowed, but uh... I don't...? Are you referring to quotas?


What I meant by the "demand" for males comment was that it would follow that a slight excess of them wouldn't be minded by the characters themselves since two characters were sexually oriented exclusively towards males while the other 4 didn't have a preference. In other words, with the current sexuality configuration, a male can serve as a romantic pursuit for all 6 characters while a female could serve as one for only four, assuming she had a compatible sexuality as well.


In any case you've made it clear you're set on this, and I'll see what I can do about a female character.

 

[Elision of Ecritures]

I was referring to the gender ratios on Derse and Prospit actually.


Quotas? I'm simply referring to the Gender Ratios main purpose of adding an even number of female and male characters to the mix. The purpose being that there is a mix of feminine and masculine elements to the plot by the characters, which means the story seems more balanced.


As for relationships I wouldn't base anything so, more or less defining such as Gender, since in Sburb it defines multiple characteristics of possible Class and also defines a multitude of possible other things taht can arrive in a person's character development, on something like Relationships considering that the interactions between characters can never really be foreseen as one thing or the other, and they can easily change throughout the arc of the plot. Friends become intimate and intimate relationships become awkward and take time to heal, so they become friends again. My point here being that the two homosexual characters might not get together and maybe some will simply stay friends. Meaning simply there's a large variety of possibility.


I hope honestly that you haven't now started to slightly resent me for this because the main reason I'm fighting you on this is to keep at leas the slightest fundamental concepts of the Cannon alive. I'm truly sorry but in this stage the criteria has just sharpened to this point of specificity.

 

[Sega]

Okay, @Ryik , how about instead this back-an-forth ball throwing between you two, I just make a new character and everyone's happy?


It's not exactly about relationships, it's about reproduction, and that's two different things, and game doesn't care about your preference or your romantic or sexual orientation or relationship. 'S about repopulation of the planet.


But as I said, I am offering to replace mine with female character, seriously, no big deal, if that works with you.

 

[Elision of Ecritures]

That seems best for the situation at hand. If it seems like no trouble to you Ryik.

 

[Ryik]

There's no need to worry so much really, 'twould take more to make me resent someone than a matter such as this. I was already working on a female character, but seeing as how she isn't finished, how she'd be a much more aggressive and domineering character than Ryan, (boundaries not so good to push on a first character?) and how her color is another shade of bright blue, I think Ryan fits the session better. I'll take you up on your offer if it's no trouble, as there's really there's no need for you to feel pressured into changing your character for me.

 

[Elision of Ecritures]

Thank your Ryik! I'm thankful we're able to solve this matter with ease and that it's worked out for everyone in their best interests in the end. As a result I think we should definitely go over some minor details about our characters and how they function from what you said, a good influence of minor details, while not inherently important just happen to accent a character.

 

[Snek]

A calm, collected and intelligent debate on the internet without any racial slurs, cuss words, or tacky insults? I...I think I need to sit down, my brain can't process this...

 

[Sega]

@Ryik


Then it's solved. c: I used to have an AU with greek gods who played SBURB, and Athena was the Knight of Light too, so I have no problem with readapting character (an useful aspect + class we must have for frog breeding). The only thing is that she wouuuuld fit better on Prospit, though, so if there's anyone who wants to switch planets, that wouldn't be bad. I dunno how we stand with that.


Prospit - Ambrosius, Crocia, Ryan.


Derse - James, Katherine, and well, that leaves me on Derse.


Anyone to reconsider their character's planet?

 

[Ryik]

We can switch with no hitch whatsoever. Ryan was never quite firmly set on cheery Prospit in any case.

 

[Sega]

Cool! Then I'll redo the sheet tonight, when I get home. c:

@Ryik


Just a suggestion for your character, his font color is a little difficult to read and is straining on the eyes, might I suggest a darker shade of gold like this?
