Character Name: Sollux Captor
Series: Homestuck
Timeline: In the moments leading up to the second duel with Eriderpdan

Canon Resource Link: SolluxCaptor

Character Background: Sollux is a troll. That right there is the greatest line you have or will ever see in your entire life. I mean WOW that line.

No wait, what the hell was I thinking. That was terrible.

REGARDLESS. Sollux is a troll who lives in a communal hive stem with his Biclops lusus.
He, he being Sollux and not the Biclops, is six solar sweeps old and is already a bit of a bipolar mofo. And by a bit I mean quite a lot. He constantly and quickly alternates between thinking he is the greatest thing since sliced bread to dwelling all manner of self-depreciation. Pretty great that. Anyway.

Sollux is oh-gah-jeezis intelligent and has managed to harvest pure BEE-POWER to operate his computer system. His lusus on the other hand, is apparently(?) all manner of retarded which prompted him to chain the creature to the roof of the communal hive stem. Everyday he battles the Biclops to feed it BEE-MIND-HONEY in an attempt to make it more intelligent. This... never really works.

Sollux's true beginnings start from when his bestie Karkat created himself, Sollux, and the ten other Trolls as paradox clones from themselves, who were all still playing the SGRUB, who where then sent back in time on meteors when The Reckoning began. So then he grew up and all of the above was again true. Awesome. Moving on now.

So once upon a time Sollux had a good friend named Aradia. They got along great until one day another Troll named Vriska wanted some revenge on Aradia and used her mind powers to manipulate Sollux into eating some mind honey, flying over to Aradia's house and laser-beaming her into bits. However because of Aradia power, she lives on as a ghost, continues to talk to him and he knows none the wiser of what he did or what happened.

So, unaware he's working with this Aradia-ghost, he decodes the game she excavates from the ruins and the actual story of Hivebent starts with the twelve Trolls about to start playing this SGRUB game. Sollux names himself leader of the blue team.

Now backtracking a bit, before the start of where the story picks up, Sollux had sent Karkat a certain ~ATH code (The Mobius Double Reacharound virus) that when executed would cause the user's computer to immediately explode and would put a curse on the user forever along with everyone he knows and will ever meet. Karkat runs this program in a fit of fuck and thus his computer explodes and in the aftermath, which all happens in this present time, they, Karkat and Sollux, believe the program inevitably caused the death of all their lusus.

So this game actually begins. Sollux waits for his server player, Karkat, but in the meantime has an Aradia-induced much needed nap from which he wakes up in a puddle of BEE-MIND-HONEY. Accidentally eating some is pretty much inevitable and causes him to flip his psychic switch and he brings down the house.

That Karkat guy in the meantime is supposed to be bringing Sollux into the game, but right before he can, Feferi's lusus Gl'bgolyb emits the [Vast Glub] which has the ability to kill trolls galaxy-wide. So Sollux dies. Thankfully before or while this is happening, he is successfully able to bring Feferi into the game.

So in return Feferi goes and finds Sollux's dead body in the medium and revives him via kiss. This method of kiss revival is only possible if the player still has a dream self. Conveniently fitting the them that he likes things in pairs, Sollux has two dream selves -- one on each moon of the game. His Derse dreamself awakens where he is immediately contacted by his exile Clubs Deuce. However he thinks Deuce is just another voice in his head and in a fit of rage he psychically destroys Deuce's console system.

Following this he returns to the LOBAF (Land of Brains and Fire) where Feferi still is so that they can meet up and play the game together. They do so, presumably spending the rest of the game running around together and at one point have a duel with Feferi's ex-moirail Eridan. The game continues to continue.

However before they win, Jack Noir busts everything up and they have to hide in The Veil from him and his god-mod powers. Because Karkat ends up blaming the human kids on Jack's existance he comes up with the brilliant plan of trolling them forever. Sollux doesn't take part in this trolling, or even associating with them, because it's entirely juvenile. He does however help in decoding, but only when asked to.

Sollux basically exists in The Veil as their tech guy though he's pretty much in 'ii hate everything and were all goiing two diie and ii knew iit' mode evidenced as when he tells Kanaya she doesn't need to be around computers since she "doesn't know shit about them".

AND THEN ARADIABOT EXPLODES. And hugs Sollux goodbye before she does this to make up for all their mishaps between point A (see everything above) to point B (nao). Sollux doesn't take this too well and is pretty depress.

To counter this depression he and Feferi go lay on Gamzee's abandoned horn pile to talk about feelings because at this point the Veil is trashed and no one else is around anyway. And then Eridan returns with the power of science and his new plan to take to go join up with Jack and he's taking Feferi with him!!! Sollux basically thinks Eridan is full of shit and challenges him to another duel which is where this ridiculous background will now end.

Additionally - Sollux speaks with a lisp mostly because Andrew Hussie thinks he's clever his teeth are always in the way. His style of typing attempts to mirror this.

His blood color is also one of the most unfortunate shades of yellow to ever exist which puts him very low on the bloodcaste hierarchy that is troll society. It's so low that Sollux has a problem remembering what's below him.

Abilites/Special Powers: Sollux has the 1337est of computer skills and could hack himself out of two industrial paper bags before you could even blink.

He has the gift of vision two-fold which allowed him to have visions of the bleak and ghastly future of Alternia which pretty much accounted for some of his major bouts of depression.

He also has no set strife-specibus as he is a psionic -- he can pick up and moves things with his MIND and also shoot red and blue LAY-ZARZ from his eyes. However it's implied if he did have one, it would include sweet ninja stars.

Third-Person Sample:
Computers are a delicate process, some temperamental stack of wires, volts, and data. They're temperamental indeed, especially in a downtrodden state, but can't match the temper of their user.

Nobody bothers Sollux in the corner, or rather, they haven't in quite a while. He sits there working on this new client server and it's network in isolation-- it's not really isolation, not in this small room, while their leader tirades about his new found hate for the pink space monkeys. Yeah, Sollux isn't having any of that.

He could possibly find it to be annoying, only he's used to the voices in his head and in comparison it's all just turning into some background white noise indifference. 'Yeah," Sollux thinks, 'just wasting your glubbing breath, KK.' Wait. Backup. Glubbing?

Oh well. Whatever. No one has to know. Moving on and keep typing.

Fuck, or maybe that's what they want. That's why he's in this freaking corner working meticulously so that no one else has to deal with them. He can't blame them either, he'd sure ignore the hypothetical freaky guy whose only purpose is to work.

You know.

If any of them were competent enough to be that hypothetical person. They aren't.

So whatever. It's only a matter of time until someone comes up with some assblooded question and during that time, they're going to need him.

First-Person Sample: What the hell ihth thith? You're kihdihng. [Hold onto your silly human hats, children. Sollux and his captchalogued headset will get him some answers from your network in two seconds flat. Because obviously all worlds have a network.]
