Canon Point: History: Link to a wikia or write out the history if no information is available elsewhere. Personality: At least a paragraph is required (but by all means feel free to write more/reuse sections from an old application), just to give us an idea of what your character is like. All we ask is that you cover all the bases accurately. Powers: What are your character's abilities? In game physical abilities will be toned down severely and to only a little above the average human level, magical abilities will barely manifest, and psychic abilities will also be greatly reduced. Please explain how they will be toned down along with the explanation of what the abilities are!
At first glance, it's very easy to see why a couple of Roxy's friends don't take her seriously. A lot about Roxy comes off as though she is the epitome of party girl: rarely seen without a martini glass in her hand or without the many typos of someone hopelessly inebriated. She's constantly cracking some kind of joke, seems to take everything in a light-hearted fashion, and spends quality hours giving her friends a hard time—all in the name of love, of course. At first glance, Roxy doesn't seem to be the kind of girl interested in video games, science or conspiracy theories, but like a lot of things in Roxy's life, first impressions tend to lie.
Roxy is a girl who is casual with her friends, seeming to basically not care at all what comes out of her mouth (rather, her drunk fingers), possessing all but no inner filter with regards to sexual terms or profanity. She is a typical teenager in that regard, using chatspeak to get her thoughts down quickly and often not bothering to correct her typos save for a few lines later, when she'll use an asterisk and at least attempt to spell something as correctly as she knows how. Backspace? What's that? She's too busy skipping from one thought to the next with all the enthusiasm of someone who's had a little too much time on her hands. That's not to say she's stupid—that's in no way true, no matter what universe she's in. Roxy just tends to get a little ahead of herself at times, saying and doing things that, had a moment been taken to consider the outcomes of such actions, she might have reconsidered doing or saying. Like, for example, rigging a certain .exe file to explode a few seconds after it was run.
On the flip side, Roxy's enthusiasm, propensity to typo and other traits of her very sociable personality can be seen as incredibly obnoxious. When one adds in the fact that she is drunk or inebriated in some fashion at least ninety percent of the time, many people would be put off by her. She gives off the impression of a girl who would be all up in someone's business were they standing right next to her, possibly laughing and touching and hanging all over them during the good times. It's during the bad times that people get a glance at the under layers of what makes Roxy tick.
Ro-Lal is, for all intents and purposes, an orphan in a world that's falling apart at the seams. In fact, that's literally what she is; never has Roxy spoken to or even known her "ancestor", an author by the name of Rose Lalonde. However, this is not a fact that Roxy makes readily known to her friend, Jane Crocker, for reasons her two other friends are well aware of. Who's going to believe anyone that says they live 400 years in the future after Batterwitches and trolls have slowly wiped out what remained of humanity? Roxy plays it off like it's no big deal with Jane; with Dirk, her broken heart is on full display. It kills Roxy to have never known her mother figure, and it's one of her driving motivations for playing Sburb (even though she knows what it'll do to Jane's world because, hey, it's already happened). In the same vein, having her best friend in the whole world never believe when Roxy says that her mother is dead and she is alone? Tears her apart inside.
Because of these reasons (her loneliness, the dystopian world around her, and the fact that her friends either live thousands of miles away or 400 years in the past), Roxy tends to drink. A lot. Though she says that her mother stocked mountains of the stuff as a passive-aggressive jab at her, the audience knows it's not true. It's a coping mechanism to help her get through each day in her hellish future, and now it's an addiction, and addiction is a powerful thing, something she can't shake.
But who cares about that stuff, right? Roxy will give it no further thought unless she's talking to someone she trusts very much—Dirk being one of them. Even though she might snark at him from time to time because he doesn't want to return any of her affection, even in a friendly manner, it's safe to say that Roxy would be entirely lost without him. He's the one that looks after her dreamself when she's asleep, making sure she doesn't wander too far off. He's the one who listens to her talk about how much it hurts to know that her best friend Jane doesn't believe the fact that Roxy's mother is dead. Dirk is the one that's constantly there for her, having “more to do with her than any guy should” and liking it that way.
This won't stop Roxy from doing some carefree flirtlarping with his AR, however. Who else is she going to flirt with? Everyone else is off-limits to her! Dirk is the best pale pal a gal can have; Jane's... well, Jane's Jane, and though Roxy would consider her a bffsie, there's a lot that should stop her from considering Jane in any romantic fashion at the moment, not the least of which is her unbreakable sense of skepticism and doubt with regards to a lot of things Roxy has to say; and Jake? Jake is so far out of the ballpark that there's no fitting end to that metaphor to describe just how off-limits that guy is. Roxy still likes him well enough—especially since he believes beyond a shadow of a doubt the truth of her life and Dirk's—though their conversations seem to run across the more surface aspects of Roxy's personality. He calls her smart and sassy and Roxy has absolutely no problems soaking up the praise.
It's all true. Roxy is the sassiest kid in Homestuck yet—she has no qualms giving her friends lip when they're being tight-assed or when they're going to do something stupid. As previously mentioned, she's a frisky flirty girl with little to no inner filter to keep her conversations “family friendly”. She is also one of the smartest, utilizing her mind not only with her inclinations for naughty jokes and hilariously misspelled words (she's been called out by a couple people with regards to some of her typos, claiming that she misspells on purpose in order to make a pun or just to be straight-up silly), but also to use fenestrated planes to travel through her house, appearify pumpkins and other assorted things, create a bunch of fucking meowcats through means of ectobiology, and to hack websites and program, well, computer programs. Not only is she good at it—how many people do you know that can rig a computer program to explode?—but she makes a reference to herself as an “elite haxxor bitch.” And we come to another one of Roxy's drawbacks: she brags about her talents.
A lot. Hey, no one else is going to talk her up! She might as well do it herself.
Despite the fact that Roxy likes to hide behind a carefree veil, it's safe to say that this girl has the absolute biggest heart in the whole of Homestuck. She is the type of girl who would do absolutely anything for her friends. When her world was under attack by murderous drones and her neighborhood was set alight? Roxy spent most of her time running around gathering up the Carapacians who had more or less been her caretakers during her life. Instead of letting them stay in harm's way, Roxy instead put herself in harm's way in order to get them safe, making it clear she thought that someone should be looking after them the way they looked after her when she was a baby. This girl spent every chance she could appearifying vegetables (especially pumpkins) and handing them out to the creatures as thanks and because she knew they didn't have enough to eat most of the time. It's no wonder that this girl's alternate universe self was a mother because it's clear that Roxy will do what's necessary for those closest to her.
But let's not go this long without mentioning that Roxy is about as obsessed with conspiracy theories regarding the Condesce as she is with wizards, which can be summed up in two words: a lot. She writes fanstories with her mother's wizard characters, but doesn't really like the stuff she gets down on paper, choosing instead to to hide the journals and pretend they don't really exist. She even named her cat—the one she appearified from her mother's time—Frigglish, after one of the characters in Complacency of the Learned.
All in all, Roxy is an outgoing, sassy and smart girl with a tendency to enjoy a little escapism in the form of RP, fanfiction and video games. It's very easy to write her off, but given an opportunity, she can at least try to charm the pants off of anyone who'll give her a bit of attention.
Powers:
As a Rogue of Void, Roxy is highly sought after by the Condesce for her powers, and she's even told by Calliope that said powers will make her incredibly powerful and effective in the game. As it stands, the only known effect of the Void in Roxy's life is to black out cameras and monitors to make it basically impossible to see her and her friends. The only way this can be avoided is by her partaking in the drink every so often, which cuts off her access to the Void. For the game, this seems like a fitting cap: being able to hide herself from being traced via technology.
As her strife specibus contains both Fistkind and Riflekind, this means that Roxy is physically strong as well as being capable with a rifle—a portal gun, to be exact. She's also a very capable hacker and programmer, able to re-program a virus to blow up a friend's computer. Who even does that?
