!!Characters
[[folder:Nobles]]
The {{Player Character}}s.
!Ryan Mathers
->'''Race''': Male human
->'''Player''':
->'''Chumhandle''': palatineHearth
->'''Mythological Role''': Heir of Space
->'''Planet''': Land of Bismuth and Frogs
->'''Moon''': Prospit
!!Associated Tropes:
* ChildhoodFriends: PenPals with Hana.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[ShipperOnDeck His exile]] sure hopes so.
* FanGirl: [=CT=], a Dersite researcher he meets in Prospit's library, seems to have a bit of a crush going on.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In melee combat, he switches to guitarkind.
* NiceGuy: Of the protagonists, Hana has empathy issues, Eira kills people in the name of vigilante justice, and Emilia is shy and geeky. Ryan is the only completely nice one. It makes him popular on Prospit.
* ShrinkingViolet: Ryan is just shy and socially awkward enough to make him cute.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Ryan starts in [=LOBAF=]'s tundra region. The rest of the Land is quite pleasant, however.
* TheOneGuy
* TokenReligiousTeammate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; Ryan is Catholic, but it's not a huge part of his life, and doesn't seem to interfere with his interactions with the Medium's Churches.
!Hana Kurosawa
->'''Race''': Female human
->'''Player''':
->'''Chumhandle''': aromaticBelladona
->'''Mythological Role''': Maid of Time
->'''Planet''': Land of Silicon and Policy
->'''Moon''': Derse
!!Associated Tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: Cats seem to show up when Hana's around.
* AsianAndNerdy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]. Hana's mother put her under ''ridiculous'' pressure to excel academically, though there are hints she had other motives as well.
* CaptainObvious: Points out ridiculous things in an amusingly deadpan manner.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Ryan, by way of [[PenPals writing letters]].
** ChildhoodFriendRomance: If [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] has her way.
* ColdSniper: Hana did not have a normal childhood, let's put it that way. And she wields a rifle.
* FlashStep: By ''punching through into another timeline'', no less.
* FriendlessBackground: Aside from exchanging letters with Ryan, she was kept isolated by an academically-obsessed mother.
* FriendlySniper: On a good day, if it suits her purposes.
* SkyPirates: Between the ''Beagle'' and the ''Dauntless'', that's '''Pirate Commodore''' Hana Kurosawa.
* StableTimeLoop: Future!Hana has interfered in the present a few times. At first she just sent herself cryptic hints via monkey, but she dramatically showed up in person to [[ColdBloodedMurder stop Eira accepting a surrender offer]] that apparently would cause issues.
* * As a player character, Hana realized she could just call up her mother and talk to her... leading to the discovery that, somehow, the session is six years in the future. By Homestuck's logic, this conversation must *somehow* be a stable time loop.
* * Way back in her introduction, she read a book that in real life wouldn't be published until three years later.
* SociopathicHero: [[DownplayedTrope Borderline case]]. Hana can be ''extremely'' cold when it suits her, and it's safe to say she's fighting her own upbringing as much as the monsters. Her exile even directly asks her if she's a VillainProtagonist.
!Emilia Martax
->'''Race''': Female human
->'''Player''':
->'''Chumhandle''': mechanicalTurk
->'''Mythological Role''': Page of Rage
->'''Planet''': Land of Uranium and Industry
->'''Moon''': Prospit
!!Associated Tropes:
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Her Rage abilities manifest as extremely painful lightning bolts.
* OutOfFocus: As a replacement for a character whose player dropped, Emilia hasn't had as much fleshing out as the others.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Kara, whose player dropped. Emilia's player and [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] designed the new character to fit into her role as neatly as possible.
!Eira Lenin
->'''Race''': Female human
->'''Player''':
->'''Chumhandle''': crimsonWolf
->'''Mythological Role''': Prince of Blood
->'''Planet''': Land of Gold and Logistics
->'''Moon''': Derse
!!Associated Tropes:
* AFatherToHisMen: Eira really does care about the rebel troops under her command.
* BadassDriver: When she's not smacking people with crowbars, Eira's running over them with her motorcycle.
* CrowbarCombatant: When she's not running people over with her motorcycle, Eira's smacking them with crowbars.
** Which are sometimes [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]].
* BikerBabe: She lead a biker gang in the bad parts of Chicago.
* GenderBlenderName: Well, gender blender ''title'', at any rate.
* TheChick: Eira can certainly hold her own in a fight, but her second-best ability score is Charisma. Her mythological title roughly translates to "one who destroys [through] society".
* LaResistance: Eira has been an important figurehead for the rebellion against Famine on [=LOGAL=] even before actually arriving.
* VigilanteMan: Well, woman. She founded the Crimson Wolves biker gang to deal with matters the police wouldn't, and apparently did a damn good job of it.

!Pestilence
->'''Race''': Denizen
!!Associated Tropes:

->'''Race''': Denizen
!!Associated Tropes:
* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The better to compete with [[BikerBabe Eira]], naturally.
* MotorcycleJousting: Famine's preferred means of execution.
* StarfishAlien: If Famine's depiction in the book about denizens is anything to go by, it wouldn't look out of place in a Lovecraft novel. This may apply to all the Denizens.
!Xenic Qabalahist
->'''Race''': Carapacian (presumed, subspecies unknown)

!!Associated Tropes:

!Juno Martax
->'''Race''': Female human
->'''Chumhandle''': Unknown
->'''Mythological Role''': Seer of Doom
->'''Planet''': Unknown
->'''Moon''': Prospit (presumed)
!!Associated Tropes:
* ActionGirl: She's a professional wrestler when not caring for Emilia.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her first name only came up in passing once in the OOC chat; she's usually referred to as "Sis".
* BlindSeer: A result of an allergic reaction to the knockout gas used on her and Emilia in the post-scratch universe. Possibly temporary.
* MsExposition: She remembers her scratched session, possibly as a result of her Seer class, and brings Emilia up to speed when she comes to Earth.
!Yuko Kurosawa
->'''Race''': Female human
->'''Chumhandle''': Unknown
->'''Mythological Role''': Lord of Light
->'''Planet''': Unknown
->'''Moon''': Derse (presumed)
!!Associated Tropes:
* ColdSniper: A role she shares with her daughter. Emilia found Yuko's rifle, along with some other alchemical gear, hidden on [=LOUAI=].

!Ivan Mathers

!!Associated Tropes:
* DudeWheresMyRespect: ''She build a self-aware android'' and has so far been able to convince exactly no one.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her android doubles as a weapon (implemented as reskinned puppetkind).
* InstantAIJustAddWater: Downplayed in that it took several years, but ''still'.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Her Rage abilities manifest as extremely painful lightning bolts.
* Robosexual: Kara build a {{Fembot}} for the specific purpose of romancing her, though she objects to this very designation in the prologue.
* ShrinkingViolet
[[/folder]]
----
!!''ARS'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: All over the place, both among the players and the [=NPCs=].
* ArcNumber: Downplayed. Seven (''septem'') tends to show up when Quietus is involved.
* BikerBabe: Eira, who leads a biker gang in the bad part of Chicago.
* BossSubtitles: Courtesy of [[DungeonMaster Naomi]]'s narration.
* CaptainObvious: Hana on occasion, such as [[ItMakesSenseInContext reminding an imp a doorknob is not a beverage]], though it's more endearing than anything.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Eira again, though her crowbars double as thrown weapons.
* ColdSniper: Hana, whose FriendlessBackground borders on child abuse. She doesn't have any real friends aside from Ryan.
* CoolShip: The ''Requiem'', flagship of Derse's navy, and the Prospitian explorer ship ''Spirit of Saint Louis'', which took Emilia to Earth through a Skaian portal.
* CosmicRetcon: Emilia's sister Juno[[note]]the Seer of Doom[[/note]], Hana's mother[[note]]the Lord of Light[[/note]], Ryan's father[[note]]the Muse of Void[[/note]], and Eira's girlfriend Pat[[note]]the Witch of Breath[[/note]] had their own session, which they were forced to scratch. Only Juno remembers this, presumably due to her title, and hoped Emilia could avoid getting embroiled in it. Their session is notable for [[{{Unwinnable}} lacking a Space player]] and containing both master classes; additionally, without a Time player, they lacked a scratch artifact of their own, and had to somehow import one from another session.
* {{Cult}}: The Heterodoxy, active on Earth and in the Medium, [[UnreliableNarrator if one believes the official Churches]]. They're probably responsible for the kidnappings.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Ryan and Hana.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: Yuko Kurosawa somehow arranged to send a letter from her scratched session to Hana in the new session. Among other things, it describes the process of [[CameBackStrong god tiering]]. It also confirms that Yuko's session wasn't void.
* FriendlySniper: Hana on a good day. She's not as outgoing as most, but she's a crack shot with a rifle and had her dreamself sent to Ryan's land. Unfortunately, her friendliness lasts only as long as your usefulness.
* FloatingContinent: [=LoBaF=] has "skislands", strange floating landmasses reachable by flying crabs.
* GenderBlenderName: Eira's title is the Prince of Blood. Emilia's Page of Rage arguably qualifies as well.
* GratuitousLatin: The session's more commonly called "ARS" or "Latinstuck".
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [=quotidianQualia=], mysteriously present on the player character's chumrolls, seems to be playing through their own [=SBURB=] session.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[BikerBabe Eira]] has crowbarkind and, naturally, motorcyclekind.
* JustForPun: A whole species of rabbit-based consorts make ''extensive'' use of rabbit puns. They're called [[IncrediblyLamePun punnies]]. Hana's echeladder rung after executing a cat pirate captain was ''catpain''.
* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The Land's denizens are all inspired by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and at least one rides a motorcycle instead of a horse. And employs MotorcycleJousting as a means of execution.
* OddNameOut: Three of the planets are named after an element and a governmental function. Then there's the Land of Bismuth and... Frogs.
* OffTheRails: Something is very odd about this session. Prospit and Derse are ''allies'', for one, and their complementary state religions believe they share a higher purpose.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Between Quietus Qualifier (in the intro), [=quotidianQualia=], and the Quirky Quartermaster, the acronym "QQ" is becoming pretty overloaded.
* {{Retcon}}: In addition to the [[CosmicRetcon cosmic variety]], the roleplay experienced a regular retcon when Kara Autumn's player dropped from the session. She was replaced by the Emilia Martax we all know and love.
* ShipperOnDeck: [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] and Ryan's exile both ship Ryan and Hana.
* ShrinkingViolet: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with both Ryan and Hana.
* ShockAndAwe: Emilia's Rage abilities are represented as the [[TabletopGame/RPGStuck Electrokinesis psionic power]], turned purple and [[BodyHorror nastier]].
* ShoutOut: Several. It's safe to say [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] likes these.
** The entire prologue takes heavy inspiration from VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors, including some direct quotations.
** Ryan's Denizen [[AC:speaks in all caps]] before being properly introduced as [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Death]].
** The island of cat pirates is named [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Torcatuga]][[note]]Tortuga + cat[[/note]].
** An assassin on Prospit claims [[VideoGame/FreeSpace2 "the tyranny of your regime is finished!" shortly before being fried by a directed energy weapon]].
** Eira named a tame imp on HMS ''Maidstone'' [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} David Bowie]].
** "youre up [[Creator/RyanNorth north, Ryan]]" doubles as a StealthPun.
* {{Psychopomp}}: The Churches of the Bright Goddess and the God of Faded Places, centered respectively on Prospit and Derse, depict themselves as acting like {{Psychopomp}}s for doomed timelines.
* StableTimeLoop: Hana's a Time player, so this naturally comes up. So far, she's sent herself a message via monkey to ensure she works with the right pirates; in the prologue, her player narrated her reading a copy of ''Literature/{{Ilium}}'', which wasn't published until 2003. [[invoked]][[WordOfGod Naomi]] later said she allowed the latter as an excuse for a time loop.
* SkyPirates: The Land of Silicon and Policy has them, in addition to normal pirates. Hana's assumed command of the pirate airship ''Beagle'' beyond her first gate.
* UndergroundLevel: Emilia found a complex network of caves hidden beyond her first gate. Their purpose is unknown, but they contain strange relics, skeletons (animate and otherwise), and seem related to the players' aspects somehow.
* UnwinnableByDesign: The alchemy equipment on the ''Maidstone'' was configured such that Quietus could steal the party's kernelsprites, voiding the session.[[note]]The cruxtruders were ''stuck through the ceilings'' and the kernelsprites spirited away by unknown means while they players were on the floor below.[[/note]]
* WholePlotReference: For the introduction, at least: [[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors The party is brought together by a gas-mask-wearing kidnapper who knocks them out with white smoke and forces them to solve death traps on a mysterious ship.]] They even use a variant of Zero's CatchPhrase.

* ActionGirl: She's a professional wrestler when not caring for Emilia.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her first name only came up in passing once in the OOC chat; she's usually referred to as "Sis".
* BlindSeer: A result of an allergic reaction to the knockout gas used on her and Emilia in the post-scratch universe. Possibly temporary.

----
!!''ARS'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: All over the place, both among the players and the [=NPCs=].
* ArcNumber: Downplayed. Seven (''septem'') tends to show up when Quietus is involved.
* BikerBabe: Eira, who leads a biker gang in the bad part of Chicago.
* BossSubtitles: Courtesy of [[DungeonMaster Naomi]]'s narration.
* CaptainObvious: Hana on occasion, such as [[ItMakesSenseInContext reminding an imp a doorknob is not a beverage]], though it's more endearing than anything.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Eira again, though her crowbars double as thrown weapons.
* ColdSniper: Hana, whose FriendlessBackground borders on child abuse. She doesn't have any real friends aside from Ryan.
* CoolShip: The ''Requiem'', flagship of Derse's navy, and the Prospitian explorer ship ''Spirit of Saint Louis'', which took Emilia to Earth through a Skaian portal.
* CosmicRetcon: Emilia's sister Juno[[note]]the Seer of Doom[[/note]], Hana's mother[[note]]the Lord of Light[[/note]], Ryan's father[[note]]the Muse of Void[[/note]], and Eira's girlfriend Pat[[note]]the Witch of Breath[[/note]] had their own session, which they were forced to scratch. Only Juno remembers this, presumably due to her title, and hoped Emilia could avoid getting embroiled in it. Their session is notable for [[{{Unwinnable}} lacking a Space player]] and containing both master classes; additionally, without a Time player, they lacked a scratch artifact of their own, and had to somehow import one from another session.
* {{Cult}}: The Heterodoxy, active on Earth and in the Medium, [[UnreliableNarrator if one believes the official Churches]]. They're probably responsible for the kidnappings.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Ryan and Hana.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: Yuko Kurosawa somehow arranged to send a letter from her scratched session to Hana in the new session. Among other things, it describes the process of [[CameBackStrong god tiering]]. It also confirms that Yuko's session wasn't void.
* FriendlySniper: Hana on a good day. She's not as outgoing as most, but she's a crack shot with a rifle and had her dreamself sent to Ryan's land. Unfortunately, her friendliness lasts only as long as your usefulness.
* FloatingContinent: [=LoBaF=] has "skislands", strange floating landmasses reachable by flying crabs.
* GenderBlenderName: Eira's title is the Prince of Blood. Emilia's Page of Rage arguably qualifies as well.
* GratuitousLatin: The session's more commonly called "ARS" or "Latinstuck".
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [=quotidianQualia=], mysteriously present on the player character's chumrolls, seems to be playing through their own [=SBURB=] session.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[BikerBabe Eira]] has crowbarkind and, naturally, motorcyclekind.
* JustForPun: A whole species of rabbit-based consorts make ''extensive'' use of rabbit puns. They're called [[IncrediblyLamePun punnies]]. Hana's echeladder rung after executing a cat pirate captain was ''catpain''.
* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The Land's denizens are all inspired by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and at least one rides a motorcycle instead of a horse. And employs MotorcycleJousting as a means of execution.
* OddNameOut: Three of the planets are named after an element and a governmental function. Then there's the Land of Bismuth and... Frogs.
* OffTheRails: Something is very odd about this session. Prospit and Derse are ''allies'', for one, and their complementary state religions believe they share a higher purpose.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Between Quietus Qualifier (in the intro), [=quotidianQualia=], and the Quirky Quartermaster, the acronym "QQ" is becoming pretty overloaded.
* {{Retcon}}: In addition to the [[CosmicRetcon cosmic variety]], the roleplay experienced a regular retcon when Kara Autumn's player dropped from the session. She was replaced by the Emilia Martax we all know and love.
* ShipperOnDeck: [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] and Ryan's exile both ship Ryan and Hana.
* ShrinkingViolet: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with both Ryan and Hana.
* ShockAndAwe: Emilia's Rage abilities are represented as the [[TabletopGame/RPGStuck Electrokinesis psionic power]], turned purple and [[BodyHorror nastier]].
* ShoutOut: Several. It's safe to say [[DungeonMaster Naomi]] likes these.
** The entire prologue takes heavy inspiration from VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors, including some direct quotations.
** Ryan's Denizen [[AC:speaks in all caps]] before being properly introduced as [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Death]].
** The island of cat pirates is named [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Torcatuga]][[note]]Tortuga + cat[[/note]].
** An assassin on Prospit claims [[VideoGame/FreeSpace2 "the tyranny of your regime is finished!" shortly before being fried by a directed energy weapon]].
** Eira named a tame imp on HMS ''Maidstone'' [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} David Bowie]].
** "youre up [[Creator/RyanNorth north, Ryan]]" doubles as a StealthPun.
* {{Psychopomp}}: The Churches of the Bright Goddess and the God of Faded Places, centered respectively on Prospit and Derse, depict themselves as acting like {{Psychopomp}}s for doomed timelines.
* StableTimeLoop: Hana's a Time player, so this naturally comes up. So far, she's sent herself a message via monkey to ensure she works with the right pirates; in the prologue, her player narrated her reading a copy of ''Literature/{{Ilium}}'', which wasn't published until 2003. [[invoked]][[WordOfGod Naomi]] later said she allowed the latter as an excuse for a time loop.
* SkyPirates: The Land of Silicon and Policy has them, in addition to normal pirates. Hana's assumed command of the pirate airship ''Beagle'' beyond her first gate.
* UndergroundLevel: Emilia found a complex network of caves hidden beyond her first gate. Their purpose is unknown, but they contain strange relics, skeletons (animate and otherwise), and seem related to the players' aspects somehow.
* UnwinnableByDesign: The alchemy equipment on the ''Maidstone'' was configured such that Quietus could steal the party's kernelsprites, voiding the session.[[note]]The cruxtruders were ''stuck through the ceilings'' and the kernelsprites spirited away by unknown means while they players were on the floor below.[[/note]]
* WholePlotReference: For the introduction, at least: [[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors The party is brought together by a gas-mask-wearing kidnapper who knocks them out with white smoke and forces them to solve death traps on a mysterious ship.]] They even use a variant of Zero's CatchPhrase.
