[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: Dave Strider
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Canon: Homestuck
Timeline: returning to his bedroom after 3 years

Background: Dave@MSPAwiki

Personality:
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. In fact he's fairly insecure and tries to hide it behind that mask. 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.

Despite all he's done for his friends during the game (some of which involved a lot of self sacrifice on his part, purposefully or not)he doesn't consider himself a hero. He sees that in John far more than himself. He never wanted to play the game or become the Knight of Time. He just wanted to be a normal kid, so even though they're still fighting he's decided that he doesn't want to travel through time anymore. In fact he's become rather belligerent about being told he has a fate to uphold or that he has to do something. If he's going to do anything its in his own time and in his own way.

Why is your character a good fit for the setting of Soul Campaign, and what will they do once they are in the game?
Dave will not really give a shit about the war. It has nothing to do with him, but he tends to be easily influenced by John and to some extent Karkat. He may not really care, but he will still do what needs to be done. He just does it in his own way.

List the abilities your character will still have in Soul Campaign:
Flash Step - It's pretty much an ability to run super fast for short periods of time, something he learned from his brother and he had it before gaining any supernatural abilities. It lets him seem to almost vanish and reappear a few feet away.

Sword Skills - He's a decent swordsman, having bee 'trained' by his older brother. (he also knows how to use trowing blades, but his weapon of choice is a sword).

List the weaknesses your character will gain (or lose) in Soul Campaign:
He will lose his god tier time travel abilities, and his conditional immortality.

First-Person
fuckin doritos man
id like totally wade through an immeasurable field of over ripe dong to find the penultimate dick in which to suck that would provide me with a decent sized bag of doritos right about now.
jesus fuck its been like forever since ive stained my fingers orange with their processed cheesy goodness or nearly choked myself to death by upending a bag directly into my mouth to get the last vestiges of cheese dust and those little left over shards that like to wedge themselves in the back of your throat


and oh man apple juice
id say I'd suck a field of dick for some apple juice but theres a high chance that what i get may only LOOK like apple juice
besides all i need is a fuckin apple tree yo
just shimmy my ass up into its limbs and snag me some of the good stuff
squeeze that shit over a glass and OH SNAP
fuckin apple juice
freshest of the fresh


Third-Person

It's been three years since he's been in his own bedroom, and now that he had the chance it was more than a little surreal to be back. Things all seemed so... small? It was fuckin weird, yo. And if he was being honest with himself -which he was not- a little painful too. He saw all the things that he could have been if not for the end of the fucking universe.

Holy fuck the selfies. So many selfies. Oh god. If he laughed any harder he might just pass the fuck out. Or burst into tears. Either way, he was going to end up looking like a total chump if he didn't calm his shit.

Though it seemed like passing out was the thing to do because the next thing he knew he was waking up in the darkness. Guess who took the straight train to chumpstown. This guy. This guy right here.

Dave pushed himself up so he was sitting and adjusted his shades. Yes, he's still the asshole who wears sunglasses at night. Though he did peek over the rims to try and get a better look at his surroundings. Okay, yeah. This didn't look even remotely familiar.

Jesus monkeyfucking dick, he was getting really fucking tired of all this barkside teleportation bullshit.
