All right, listen up.

This is a Homestuck-based RP to occupy us during the PUASE. All players will create a 15-year-old Homestuck fankid based on themselves and optimized for derpy Homestuck shenanigans. This character will include the following:

1. Name (all first names must be four letters long)
2. Homestuck-style short intro
3. Shirt symbol
4. Guardian (a short explanation of them)
5. Place of residence
6. Chumhandle
7. Strife specibus
8. Fetch modus (along with how it works)
9. Title (You can take the title test here).
10. Land (the land test can be found here.)

As soon as we have enough players we will decide on colors and server/client order. Please don't put a color with your character. If there are fewer than 10 players, everyone will have a different color and please understand that you may not get your first choice.

Criteria for acceptance or rejection will be based on how well the character fits with the tone of Homestuck. Remember, in Homestuck, none of the characters are cool. They're all stupid teenagers. Your character should reflect this.

Let us begin.

Is it okay if I just reserve a spot for coming up with the character sheet later?

So, do we need a GM? A GM that is me?

What duties will you take upon yourself to GM?

Currently there is no limit, but I will cap it if it gets too crazy.

Cool, thanks.

Plot twists, keeping things going, making decisions on things if asked to, ruling with an iron fist. Whatever.

I still do want to keep some decision-making power, but... hm.

I guess I could share some iron fist power. We could consult with each other for decision making.

Like I am a spider spinning a web based on your vague specifications. Its up to you.

• Name: Kane Johnson
• Homestuck-style short intro:

• Shirt symbol: Gray Butterfly.
• Guardian: Brother. (Likes to play games and asks for Internet at the worst times.)
• Place of residence: Small House on South Welsh Coast.
• Chumhandle: libertyPrime.
• Strife specibus: Batonkind.
• Fetch modus: Enhanced Interrogation (Beat up the modus until it gives needed item).
• Title: Rogue of Rage.
• Land: Land of Metal and Acid.

Is this any good?

You could be co G Ms or something.

If I choose something like Death or Shade, can I just keep my black text? Doing the mark ups for colors is frustrating for me.

Removed for reworking.

All right. Perhaps I should clarify.

Aren't most Homestuck introductions 2 paragraphs long? Also I would appreciate a short explanation of what the guardian is like and how the fetch modus works.

I believe swords fall under Bladekind?

I edited my post a bit.

Ok I love your fetch modus, Steve.

I suppose this is an example of the amount of detail I want:

• Name: Xena Cleaver

• Intro:
  Your name is XENA CLEAVER and you are 15 years old. You have a great love of STORYTELLING despite being horrible at it. In fact you think that you are so horrible at it that most of what you try to write is deleted in what you call an “editing process”. You know that one of these days you will be making NEGATIVE PROGRESS on your writing endeavors considering how much of it you erase, but you can’t stop anyway. Addiction is a terrible thing. Because of this, you are much more proficient in your ERASERKIND strife specibus than your PENKIND strife specibus. It is, after all, much easier to DESTROY than CREATE. In fact this is your approach to most things — as a long slog, with two steps back for every one step forward.

You live in the urban northern United States with your DAD in an apartment. Your DAD enjoys smooth jazz while you appreciate jazz of the more classical sort. This often ends in JAZZ BATTLES between the two of you, blaring opposing styles from across the hallway, to the chagrin of your neighbors. When things get really intense you break out the saxophone and he the electric organ. He also has a fondness for RADIOS, which you try to use late at night to contact ALIENS without his knowledge. Thus far you haven’t been able to make first contact no matter how many prime numbers you try to broadcast into space.
