Character Information ;
Name: Davesprite (Dave Strider)
Name of Canon: Homestuck
Canon/AU/Other Game CR: Canon
Reference: MSPA Wiki
Canon Point: During [S] Jade: Enter, right before getting killed by Jack Noir.
Setting: The Earth of Homestuck is pretty much the same as ours, except a little more like a video game. Everybody has an inventory in the form of a sylladex, confrontations with parental figures occur through STRIFE, and some people happen to be paradox clones who crashed to the world on a meteor with a dead pony.
Well, okay, that last part only specifically applies to Dave. He was picked up from that meteor crater by a badass ninja guardian and raised to be a ninja coolkid with a love of irony and sick beats. Later, he developed a strong online friendship with three other kids: John, Rose (who turns out to be Dave's paradox sister) and Jade. The four of them ended up playing an incredibly immersive video game called Sburb that transported them to another dimension just before Earth got destroyed by meteors. And that's when things get a bit complicated.
Due to some very bad screwups, the kids' game session was doomed to be massively broken in a way that also affected another session in another universe. The players of that session decided to get revenge on the kids by trolling them through time and space. Then one of them managed to indirectly kill both John and Jade. Crap.
Even worse, that created a time paradox since it prevented the events that would break the game. Thus Rose and Dave were stuck in a really sucky doomed branch of the timeline. Luckily, Dave acquired awesome time travel powers and after four months of leveling up and learning about the game he went back to stop John's death.
After doing that, he handed Past Dave all his awesome high-level equipment and jumped into his kernelsprite. Sprites are basically the players' spirit guides. They can be prototyped twice to determine both their own and the game enemies' appearance and powers.
So yeah, Alternate Future Dave became Davesprite, an orange ghost with crow wings and a sword through his chest. For a while, he advised Dave and his friends before flying off and getting killed when the game broke and the shit really hit the fan.
Personality: It might be argued that Davesprite is completely identical to the alpha timeline Dave. After all, they ARE the same person. However, a lot can change with four months and becoming a game construct ghost.
With John and Jade dead, Dave and Rose were left practically alone in a null session. Due to being in a branch timeline, they were even no longer able to talk to the trolls. Sure, they still had their sprites, but especially Dave's sprite - which had been prototyped with Li'l Cal - was more a source of annoyance than comfort. It just would not stop laughing. Ever.
Though they still had very little face-to-face interaction, Dave and Rose grew a lot closer. They started being more honest with each other, no longer constantly engaging in verbal sparring. Both of them had been prone to hiding their emotions, but now those masks started slipping. As far as they knew, they were the last surviving humans in the universe. In the face of that, irony started looking kind of pointless. Probably the only thing keeping them from giving in to despair was the knowledge that when he was ready, Dave could go back in time to set things right.
And for those four months, setting things right was Dave's only focus. He didn't have the luxury of wasting time on alchemizing sweet suits and brains in jars. Though he did advance pretty far on the personal myth quest the game had set out for him, it was primarily to get stronger abilities and better loot. Even so, it did earn him some personal growth in the form of greater self-confidence. Before, he had always relied on Bro or his future selves to bail him out of trouble. There was always someone more experienced and awesome than him. Along the way, as was the purpose of the quest, he learned to rely on himself more and trust in his own abilities. Becoming more independent was probably also helped by his spirit guide constantly going "HEE HEE HOO HEE HOO" and generally being no help at all.
It's easy to say "and then Dave went back and made sure the bad timeline never happened" and forget what that actually means. By undoing his own timeline, Dave was essentially killing both himself and Future Rose. Yes, their past selves would survive, but that doesn't make it much easier to think about. So yeah. This dude is literally ready to die for his friends.
Too bad all that devotion didn't get him the gratitude he deserved. First John thought the whole attempt to save him was a bad joke, then later on actually said that he didn't think of Davesprite as the real Dave. While "real Dave" claimed that he was obviously just messing with John because he wouldn't flip out like that, Davesprite's bitter anger sure seemed genuine. And hey, can you blame him? Having your best friend - whose life you just saved - say that you're not really you would be painful to anyone.
After getting the timeline on the right track and making sure alpha Dave was going in the right direction, Davesprite was all set to fly off and meet whatever unpleasant fate the universe would throw at him. Well, arriving in Sacrosanct puts a big damper on that plan, so for a while he'll end up feeling kind of aimless and lost. After such a long time of focussing on a single goal it will feel very weird for him to just live in relative peace.
tl;dr: Davesprite = Dave - most of the irony - stoicness + all the levels + self-reliance + SRSBSNS + a lot of feathers
Abilities and Weaknesses:
Strengths:
Ninja training: Dave has been trained by his Bro in speed, agility and swordplay pretty much all his life. Add to that four months of level grinding, and you get, well... this. Though I am assuming that he no longer has his time powers and can't actually be in two places at the same time.
Sprite: The extent of Dave's Sprite powers is unknown. Unlike other Sprites, he hasn't shown any eyebeams or the like, so let's just say he's really damn good with that sword sticking through his chest. Yeah, he can pull it out and fight with it.
It isn't really clear whether Sprites need food and sleep or not, but at least they can get hungry. I'm assuming that Davesprite doesn't technically need to eat or sleep, but he'll get very uncomfortable and freaked out if he goes like that for extended periods.
A part of the Sprite package that probably has little use in Singularity is knowlegde of Sburb. Basically Davesprite has a bunch of game information, especially relating to Dave's personal quest, packed in his head, wrapped in fun and fascinating riddles.
Also, he has wings. He can fly.
Weaknesses:
While he is very mature and badass for his age, Davesprite is still a thirteen-year old kid, and one who has gone through some serious traumas. It may not be easy to get him to flip out, but when he does, it's bad.
Inventory: One(1) pair of iShades
One(1) Davesprite-summoning amulet, probably nonfunctional outside the game.
Appearance: See here.
He's a glowy floaty ghostly orange teenage boy with a long ghost tail, big wings and a bunch of feathers, and a katana through his chest. You know, the kind of guy you see on the street everyday. He does actually have arms, even though they're not visible in the picture.
Age: 13 years (and nine months)
Samples ;
Log Sample: They were winning. Even with three prototypings, Jack Noir wasn't a match for Davesprite and Bro together. Dave grinned as he swung his sword at the Dersite. Jack was still blocking every blow, but getting slower. Soon he would make a mistake, leave a hole in his defenses.
Suddenly a blinding light flashed from the prototyping ring on Jack’s finger. Both Davesprite and Bro stepped back in surprise as the Dersite’s form began to change.
This was both good and bad news. On one hand, it meant that Jade had finally made it to the Medium. On the other, the final prototyping had been added. Well, with any luck, John had been smart and used something harmless and -
Something was wrong. Jack’s body began to crackle with a bright green energy. His harlequin’s hat and cat whiskers disappeared, giving room to a canine snout.
Every inch of knowledge the game had crammed into his head was telling Davesprite that this was wrong wrong not supposed to happen WRONG and he realized what this meant. Fuck. FUCK!
They were going to lose.
Determined to at least go down fighting, the sprite gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on his sword.
Suddenly, the world around him warped and he was lying on a piece of rusted metal.
"Welcome to Sacrosanct. Please watch your step."
Network Sample: ok
what the fuck
im pretty sure even first guardian powers couldnt do something like this
so
what
this place just randomly grabbed me
