Name: DW Journal: Contact: Current Characters:
Character Name: Canon: Age: Gender:
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!
Character Name: Davesprite aka Dave Strider aka Alternate Future Dave Canon: Homestuck Age: 15 (possibly 16, he told John he was running around for 'like a year' vs a prior mention of 4 months, which can be interpreted as 'time travel' vs 'real time' since he doesn't really keep track) Gender: male
Canon Point: year 2 on the yellow yard History:wiki Personality: To understand Davesprite is to understand Dave, since they are quite literally the same person. Davesprite is just a bit older and has different experiences than the current 'Alpha' Dave.
Dave has always fashioned himself to be a 'cool kid' who could take practically everything in stride without a problem. He idolized his older brother and tried to emulate him in a lot of ways while still trying to be his own person. In a lot of ways he's just a normal kid. He likes playing video games, has interests in photography and rap music, though he did have a collection of small animal skeletons which one might consider odd.
His life had been far from normal though. His brother trained him practically from babyhood to be a fighter. Literally. There were swords and throwing knives and blades of all kinds stashed in the fridge, cabinets, and who knows where else. To him it was normal. Frustrating at times, but normal. The only thing that bothered him about his brother to any real extent -though he spoke otherwise outwardly- was his penchant for puppets. Lil Cal creeps him out to no end.
Dave is kind of a little shit when it comes to his interactions with others. He has no problem telling people off or letting them know he doesn't give a fuck about what they have to say. He will directly or indirectly insult people, rambling on in an almost storytelling sort of way. While he's never as completely stoic and impassive as he wishes, he tries to cover up a lot with jokes, ironic quips, and pop culture references. Rose is the only one who's ever been able to work through it, though usually by pissing him off in the process.
Not to say he's a complete dick to everyone. With his close friends he's actually very loyal, he just doesn't always know how to express himself well. They're the ones who get to see his dorky side come out, and his awkward social moments.
Davesprite has his differences though. He spent a good long time in a world where two of his best friends were dead, and there was no possible end to the game he was stuck playing. His sprite had been prototyped with the remnants of Lil Cal, which ended up as little more than a source of rage and frustration for him. So he gives up absolutely everything to go back in time and save John's life, preventing that dead end future from ever happening.
The result is that he is from a timeline that had been doomed to erasure, which in time-player terms means that heis also doomed, usually in some violent, unexpected way. To give himself more time he becomes his own sprite, but it's not a permanent fix. Paradox space will catch up to him at some point and he knows that.
By the time he becomes Davesprite, he's noticeably more bitter and jaded, not rambling on the way he used to, likely because he didn't have anyone to banter with for long periods of time. Where Dave almost always builds himself up as an awesome guy, Davesprite actually put himself down a few times. One of the biggest differences is how he reacted to the fact that John didn't consider him 'the real' Dave. He got very upset and didn't make any attempt to hide it behind sass or sarcasm. He just got angry.
Like Dave, it's unlikely that he considers himself any sort of hero, despite having made a number of huge, sacrifices with the sole purpose of helping his friends succeed, regardless of what it meant for himself.
Powers: What are your character's abilities? How will these abilities be tuned down to suit the game?
Sprite Powers: These can be kind of arbitrary, but given what we've seen from the other sprites and what Calsprite was able to do before Dave took it's place we can infer some of things.
∙Calsprite was able to shape shift and shoot lasers. ∙Sprites can be solid or become completely incorporeal to pass through walls. ∙Create functioning energy objects ala green lantern. ∙Glowing graffiti. Dave's is red that glows orange. ∙Grow back missing appendages.
Knight of Time: He's able to move through time to set up or prevent situations from happening, but to do so he has to make sure it's all run through a single, stable loop or multiples of himself will occur.
Flash Step: Well it's less of a step now that he doesn't have legs, but he was trained by his brother to have really, really fast reflexes, allowing him to dart short distances faster than the eye can see.
Swords: He fights with these.
--Anything he creates with his sprite powers won't have any substance or function, so it'll be more like parlor tricks. His ghostlyness will cut out, so he can't move through walls anymore and will be subject to actual physics again. Since he has wings, he should be able to fly but he'd have to learn how to do it properly rather than just float around like sprites did.
He'll be able to heal a bit faster than normal, but he's not going to be able to wander around after being impaled through the gut like he did in canon.
Mutation powers he'll get will mostly be along the lines of telekinesis and pyrokinetics.
With his sprite powers mostly gone, I'd like for him to have legs again if that's okay?
