Character Name: Dave Strider (Davesprite)
Character Series: Homestuck
Character Age: 13
NOTE: I am applying for Davesprite to be put into the pet slot of his house. As well, he will be reduced to looking like a bright orange creamsicle crow and will have to regain his normal sprite body.
Background:
http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Davesprite Personality: Dave Strider is a really fucking cool guy. Or that’s pretty much what his entire existence is about acting like. His every action and word is made to make him look cool or some ironic-level removed of cool. He enjoys bands no one’s ever heard of, has a dark room for his own photography, collects weird preserved dead things and is not afraid to represent and drop some ill beats. And he does it all with a straight face.
Over all, he’s pretty stoic because he’s too busy being cool. Cool guys don’t get mad. Cool guys don’t cry. Cool guys don’t flip their shit over a pummeling pile of puppet proboscis and ass…
Okay, so sometimes Dave isn’t all as cool and collected as he likes to pretend he is. Sometimes, stuff just piles up too much and he just has to do an acrobatic fucking pirouette off the handle. And it only gets worse when two of his best friends die and he ends up trapped in an unwinnable game for four months before using his Timetables to reverse time and go back to save them. Before he returns, he’s understandably frustrated and fed up with the game (and Calsprite). He’s short with Rose, not playing it as cool he usually does, generally admitting that they’re screwed.
TG: what else is there to know
TG: we lost
TG: cant finish the game with a dead heir and witch
TT: We don't know Jade is dead for sure.
TG: yeah well she had a big fucking meteor bearing down on her and we never heard from her again
When he gets back, he’s much more worked up about John almost going and getting himself killed than Alpha Dave is, likely because in his time line, John did get himself killed. He’s also quite stern and angry with Terezi, the troll that caused him to get killed, though he lightens up when he finds out she didn’t mean for him to actually die and feels kind of bad about it. Still, as much as he tries to act as cool with everything as normal Dave does, he sometimes shows cracks. He gets upset when John refers to the other Dave as “the real Dave”, saying that he is the real Dave, the realer Dave even considering his experiences and his saving John’s life. Alpha Dave tells John not to worry about it and claims that Davesprite is just acting it up for laughs because that’s what he would do, but it’s possible that because he didn’t go through 4 months of working in futility with his friends dead, Alpha Dave just doesn’t know Davesprite as well as he thinks he does. Later, Davesprite does admit he has to come to terms with no longer being the “real Dave” and go off and do his own thing as his Sprite, which includes finishing Dave’s personal quest, which Alpha Dave ends up not having time to do.
TG: god dammit
TG: i am the real dave
TG: you know the one who saved your life
Still, the two of them act remarkably similar when they’re cool and not freaking out about things, both able to bounce ridiculously long and convoluted mixed metaphors off each other in rapid succession and brainstorm amazingly shitty comics. Sometimes they’re like twins, other times, Davesprite is like an older brother, both because of his experiences in the future and because of the knowledge he gained when he became a sprite. Because of this, he has less of an inferiority complex regarding Bro and future selves, mostly because he’s already become the ultimate future self that came back and saved everyone’s asses, and possibly helped him to come to terms with his new inferiority complex regarding no longer being Alpha Dave. As such, even when cut up by Jack and horribly wounded, he comes off as much more cool-headed and in control than real Dave, going about the necessary business of confronting the Denizens and re-forging the Royal Derringer.
Over all, his experiences in the future, mentoring his past self and past friends and having to step down as Alpha Dave have made Davesprite a little more mellow and able to be detached than Dave when he’s good, but at the same time a bit more broken when he gets worked up due to having to spend so long in a doomed timeline.
Abilities: Davesprite has the ability to manipulate time the same as Dave, though he has not been specifically shown using it. He also has amazing sword-wielding roof ninja skills seemingly unhindered by his new form. He also has the ability to be a bright-orange winged human-headed ghost with a sword through its chest and still look like a badass. His prototyping has also given him a huge repository of knowledge regarding Sburb, though that will likely be of little importance in Mayfield. He can also shoot lasers flavored with some kind of thematically-related item, a basic sprite power as seen in Nannasprite and Calsprite. Levitation and flight are of course, basic powers of being a ghost-bird-phantom-sprite-thing, as is being able to extend the "tail" of his body to wrap around things, as shown in the fight against Jack.
Sample Entry:
Alright, let this be a lesson to you all: using the phone without any goddamn hands does not get any easier. It’s almost like they didn’t even design these things with sentient ghost-birds in mind or something, jegus. And on top of it they put that damn blinking light on it I just want to - fuck, this body better not be getting to me.
I am the feathery brainless asshole. It is me.
Okay, so I think the first thing I need to do is establish a few facts. If you see an incredibly cool orange crow flying around, don’t get out your crazy space lasers or whatever weird shit you got going on and try to shoot the damn thing. Also, I am not your spirit animal. Third, I swear, first person to ask me to say nevermore is getting their eyes pecked out. Or I’ll rally a murder of feathery asshole buddies and we’ll reenact Hitchcock films on you. Rain down on you like a shower of Persian arrows. You won’t even have time to make any pithy one-liners about where you’re going to fight. You will be too busy being covered in feathery death, like a pillow fight gone wrong. One moment it’s fun and games, then next minute Dad’s just going “Junior, cut out all that racket HOLY SHIT” and it’s a one-way trip to the hospital, covered in feathers. That is exactly what will happen. Got it?
Cool so who wants to rig me up a way to open bottles of apple juice? Does anyone know if crows can drink apple juice? It’s not gonna like explode my stomach or something, right?
