3	-> A young carapace stands in his bedchamber. It just so happens that today, 000000-[=DB7093=]-[=FF0000=]-808080, is the anniversary of this young carapace’s cloning day. Though it was fifty-seven hundred Dersite cycles ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name! What will the name of this young carapace be?

11	----
12	!!Pawnstuck provides the following examples:
13
14	* AccidentalMisnaming: DD is rather bothered that his friends continue to call him "Droog."
15	* AdaptationalHeroism: Sort of. Since Eridan takes Jack Noir's place in Sboard he's helping the players overthrow the Condesce rather than being [[TheMillstone a complete load]], but his personality hasn't really changed; he's still a huge {{Jerkass}}.
16	* AlternateUniverse
17	* {{Angrish}}: Karkat has a bout of this once he sees [[spoiler: what looks like a sprite of himself.]]
18	** [[http://pawn-stuck.tumblr.com/post/37811762613/jack-blow-a-gasket SS]] [[http://pawn-stuck.tumblr.com/post/37876765685/dd-pacify when]] DD "introduces" him to the cursor.
19	* AscendedFanboy: HB. A huge fan of a webcomic called ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' (or this world's version of the Homestuck comic), now he'll be playing a version of Sburb himself.
20	* BerserkButton: Crowbar ''really'' hates seeing other team leaders laying down on the job.
21	* BitchInSheepsClothing: CD thinks his surrogate sister, PM, is this.
22	* BizarroUniverse: The Carapaces take the places of the kids and the Felt take the places of the Trolls. Meanwhile, Trolls and humans are this universe's Exiles instead. In Sboard, Alternia and Earth take the places of Derse and Prospit respectively.
23	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: AR.
24	* BloodKnight: SS finds the chance to slay dragons awesome
25	* BreakTheHaughty: Both SS and DD.
26	* CannonFodder: Fairy-bull Lusii, according to Clover.
27	* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: SS's take on everyone who isn't himself.
28	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: CD.
29	* {{Crossover}}: With the canon universe. So far, it has introduced [[spoiler:Spades Slick and Ms. Paint wandering in an iteration of Alternia, and Calliope in a dream bubble with this universe's Jack and telling him the story of Bec Noir]].
30	* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: Die went Grimdark in his session.]]
31	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: HB tells Mother to shove it and gets DD into the game himself.
32	* TheDragon: Vriska and Gamzee are this for Eridan in Sboard.
33	* EldritchAbomination: DD's "Lich Queen" Guardian, Mother.
34	--> S h-ę's c'o/mi__ng
35	* EvenEvilHasStandards: SS isn't too happy to hear that he killed CD in a different reality, and he's even worried that he killed DD as well.
36	* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Die apparently stabbed his session's Grand Highblood in the eyes with his voodoo pins.]]
37	* FutureMeScaresMe: Double-subverted in that SS loves that Bec Noir caused mass-genocide in his own session, but is put off when [[spoiler:Calliope]] mentions that Bec also offed Courtyard Droll.
38	* GenreSavvy: HB, having read ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', knows what dangers the game entails.
39	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Almost happens to Karkat.
40	* HairTriggerTemper: SS and Mother.
41	* HappilyAdopted: CD.
42	* HeelRealization: CD eventually realizes what a douche he's been to PM
43	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Quarters speaks in bird squawks, and only Matchsticks understands him.
44	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: DD does not seem to remember his little run-in with Mother. In fact, he believes she's dead.
45	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: SS, DD, and HB. Lampshaded by CD.
46	* KickTheDog: SS thinks that Bec Noir becoming a psychopathic, omnicidal murderer is super cool... or rather he does [[SubvertedTrope until he finds out]] that Bec Noir killed his version of CD.
47	* LuckBasedSearchTechnique: Karkat finds a hidden room by [[PercussiveTherapy hitting his head against a wall]].
48	* ManChild: CD, even more so than his canon self.
49	* MythologyGag: DD gets paired up with an Aradiasprite, in a reference to the both the fact that he's Aradia's Exile in canon and the common fan interpretation of him becoming a father-figure to Aradia.
50	** Similarly SS and HB get a Karkatsprite and Tavrossprite respectively, the two trolls they were Exiles for in canon.
51	** HB is a ShipperOnDeck, referencing the scene in ''Homestuck'' where Hearts Boxcars tries to harass Tavros into kissing Vriska.
52	* NamedByDemocracy: Everyone calls DD Diamonds Droog, much to his annoyance.
53	* NotSoStoic: DD when HB goes against his plans and prototypes his sprite.
54	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Suggested with SS when HB calls him out on going through a lifetime of archagent training but seemingly not knowing what an epiphany is.
55	* OnlySaneMan: DD.
56	* PercussiveMaintenance: How Crowbar gets his TV-Top to work.
57	** [[http://pawn-stuck.tumblr.com/post/38028136735 SS]] too when he can't open his cruxtruder.
58	* PsychoExGirlfriend: It's strongly implied that BQ is this for SS, though there's also an implication that SS [[{{Jerkass}} brought it on himself]].
59	* RealMenEatMeat: HB.
60	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: HB to DD after prototyping DD's sprite with the Aradia doll.
61	** And another one to CD:
62	-->CD: well the other day she said she was going to get food but later i checked but she was asleep!!
63	-->HB: SHE WAS PROBABLY ASLEEP BECAUSE SHE WAS TIRED FROM DELIVERIN MAIL ALL DAY
64	-->HB: IN ORDER TO SUPPORT YER LAZY HATLOVIN LIFESTYLE
65	-->HB: OR MAYBE SHE WAS JUST EXHAUSTED FROM HAVIN TO DEAL WITH YOU AND LIVE UP TO YER INSANE EXPECTATIONS ALL THE TIME
66	* RedOniBlueOni: SS and DD.
67	* RulingCouple: Mom and Dad of Earth.
68	* SeriousBusiness: Nice suits, at least in DD's mind.
69	* ShipperOnDeck: HB secretly wishes all the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' characters would just make out already.
70	* SplitPersonality: Die goes back and forth between ApologisesALot and MisanthropeSupreme.
71	* TheStarscream: In Sboard, Eridan takes the place of Jack Noir, and is helping the Carapaces plot against Her Imperial Condescension.
72	* TalkingToThemself: Die.
73	* TemptingFate: DD believes that the four of them can all win the game.
74	* TooKinkyToTorture: The Black Queen's response to SS making a threatening countdown is to ask if he's going to show her what a naughty girl she is. Than she asks [[TooMuchInformation if there will be whips]].
75	* TranslatorBuddy: Matchsticks to Quarters.
76	* TreasureIsBiggerInFiction: DD's world is covered in gigantic gems.
77	* UnmanlySecret: HB's shipping. He even tries to hide it after he's introduced.
78	* UnwantedAssistance: DD is less than pleased when HB idiotically prototypes DD's sprite with a doll even after being explicitly told not to. Subverted in that prototyping the Aradia doll turned out to be a pretty good idea in the long run.
79	* VitriolicBestBuds: SS and DD.
