Dave Strider / Homestuck / 002

[miang]

Personality: This wouldn't be a proper Dave app if I didn't mention how cool Dave is. Dave is the coolest dude you'll ever meet, but only if you never meet his older brother, Bro. Dave listens to bands you've probably never heard of, and he likes to collect dead things and preserve them in jars. He digs photography and has his very own dark room, and he lives his life in the dogged pursuit of irony, just as his older brother does. Being as cool a kid as he is, Dave is understandably very level-headed in the face of adversity. It is very, very hard to ruffle his feathers, frighten, and/or embarrass him. Things such as meteors and aliens really don't faze him in the least; in fact, things that most people would consider to be strange or unnerving have very little (or no) effect upon him at all. In fact, the only thing that seems to really get to him is his older brother's puppet collection, which Bro utilizes for nefarious, supposedly lucrative purposes.

Chill as a glacier, Dave is also known to be a mite judgmental and condescending to those around him. While he has a heart of gold beneath his insufferable prickishness, he tends to keep people at arm's length, whether he wants to admit to it or not. Though he has a strange way of showing it, there are a fair few people whom he is close to: Rose, John, Jade, and Bro. While he will not hesitate to tease or berate the former three, he is very easily influenced by them. A prime example of the sway that his loved ones have upon him comes in the form of his fear of Bro's puppets, which he never found frightening (quite the contrary, really) until John points out that they are, simply put, kind of freaky.

Dave's taste in humor is juvenile at best and outright crude at worst. He has been known to rap during IM conversations with people, and he can talk circles around people like it's his god damn job. As he is able to employ language well beyond his years, it is very, very easy to forget that Dave really is just a little kid. He has issues dealing with the fact that he can and will die at some point, as evidenced by the way he was unable to attain God Tier because he was afraid to die.

While Dave's cool demeanor may put him on a self-imposed pedestal, in reality, he is genuine in his actions and interests. When he acts, it isn't merely for show, and he isn't afraid to make fun of himself, as he does in the beginning of his SBURB session. Impressing people isn't high on his laundry list of things to do, though he definitely accomplishes such a feat with unintended ease. This, paired with the fact that he's a complete and total jerkface to anyone and everyone, makes his capacity for kindness that much sweeter and valued. At his core, Dave does not want to be the big damn hero that he's become. He'd much rather be a normal kid living a normal hipster douchebag life, cohabiting with his brother in an apartment filled with shitty swords and smuppet ass, though he can definitely be a hero if it's what he needs to be in order to help someone.
