Calliope's "brother", who has been living with her since hatching. Largely a SpoiledBrat, his attitude towards the world (and, by extension, ''Homestuck'' and its characters) is negative. His favorite pastime is making fun of everyone regardless of how appropriate it is, as he is quick to invent nicknames such as "[=HOMOSuCK=]" (''Homestuck'') and "ANNOYING [=BLABBERMOuTH=]" (Rose).

(Rose). He also has a passion for art, but unlike Calliope, his "art" ends up being unrecognizable.

Ultimately, the experience of reading ''Homestuck'' does not change him in the slightest, barring the fact that he gets the contacts of Karkat Vantas and enters a relationship with him.

Originally, Andrew Hussie seems to be a fairly innocent webcomic creator. Within a few chapters, though, it is obvious that something else is going on: only his characters exist in real life, and he appears to have spacebending powers whose origin isn't entirely clear. [[spoiler:Eventually, WordOfGod [[http://calliopes-update-girl.tumblr.com/post/135071702773/andrew-hussie-is-not-andrew-hussie confirmed its true origins]]: it is actually a Lord English-like demon and (part of) the cancer that Karkat gave to the universe, essentially replacing Bec Noir, but during the modern times, it claimed the identities of various "offbeat authors".]]

Ostensibly the main character of the series. Rose is a Sociology student, and has been having trouble writing creatively. However, once she discovers that she is a character of ''Homestuck'', she takes a much more distinct role, planning to gather herself and her three close friends, as well as the neighborhood aliens Calliope and Caliborn, into a "Homestuck Character Support Group". She also showed interest in gathering more than just her closest friends in, at different points talking to Karkat and [=MeAndMyReflection=] about her plans.

Perhaps the most ill-defined faction of them all. They only ever form because Her Imperious Condescension scares them into following her, even before she has any sort of defined plan other than "Hussie is the cancer of the universe, therefore I must fight him in some way".

it.

At first, she stayed out of most major action involving ''Homestuck'', and instead befriended Calliope almost immediately. This led to her and Calliope discussing the prospect of the Homestuck Character Support Group, at least until Dave joined the conversation. As Dave is pretty much hitting on her, this made her distracted, but nevertheless, the next day she met up with Rose again and the two, together with Calliope, became the founding members of the support group.



He is significant because he originally had the idea for the Homestuck Character Support Group, which Jade (and from her, Rose) borrowed, and sympathizes with Calliope. Nevertheless, he isn't listed as a full member of the support group.

is significant because he originally had the main character of ''Homestuck''[='=]s Act One, which certainly isn't the most serious part of the comic, he is on the receiving end of many, many, ''many'' jokes, both from Andrew and Caliborn. Therefore, he is left with a negative impression of the comic, and begins sympathizing with Calliope, who was also frequently made fun of by Caliborn. Roughly around this point, he also has the original idea for the Homestuck Character Support Group, which Jade (and from her, Rose) borrowed, and sympathizes with Calliope. borrowed.

Nevertheless, tables turn on him once he isn't listed encounters the first elements of the game and its implications, as he is big on end-of-the-world movies. Therefore, he has a change of heart, beginning to actually like ''Homestuck'', and Rose doesn't list him as a full member of the support group.

On Earth, she has become rather seclusive, preferring to play with her own "scalemates" rather than interact with other trolls/humans, and generally live in the past. This personality doesn't change much once she learns about ''Homestuck''.

These characters usually do not belong to any single faction, but are related to those who do.

!!Unnamed fans of Homestuck

Those fans that are neither close friends of Andrew Hussie nor fans of ''Calliope on the Update Gravestone'' seem to have developed their own community. They dress up as characters in form of {{cosplay}}, and therefore believe that the real ''Homestuck'' characters must be cosplayers as well.

!!The Guardians

John, Rose, Dave and Jade each live with their own "guardians". Those include John's father and grandmother, Rose's mother, Dave's brother and Jade's grandfather. They all end up attending John's birthday (and Calliope's hatching day) party together with the kids and Calliope.
