CURRENT CHARACTERS: N/A.
CHARACTER INFORMATIONSERIES: Homestuck.
NAME: Dave Strider.
RACE: Human.
AGE: Thirteen Fourteen; I fully understand that I will be unable to have this character engage in sexual acts within the game while they are underage.
CANON POINT: Before arriving at LOFAF.
REFERENCES: MSPA Wiki.
GENDER: Male.
APPEARANCE: Dave will be wearing a long-sleeved red-and-white baseball-style raglan shirt with the original record logo in the middle. Along with the shirt are a pair of black pants and some red shoes. He also has these dark aviator shades which are a gift from his best bro John. He may change his clothes but he will never be seen without his shades as they are a big part of him.
PERSONALITY & HOUSE REQUESTS:
Not going to diddle dad here, if a house is chosen based on how a person is we'll go with Gryffindor. Gryffindor values courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry.
It's no denying that Dave is courageous, as he jumps head first into stifling with his kin that he will also jump right into battle in Sburb. He doesn't hesitate and he takes no time to be afraid. He accepts whatever comes at him and faces it without a second thought. Later in the timeline he'll even face the most strongest enemy knowing his death is evident to come, even with that knowledge he toughens up with bravery and courage and faces it. There is no hesitation when it comes to Dave, especially if it's to protect his friends. No matter the situation or consequences, Dave Strider will risk anything on the line for his friends which proves his loyalty. He sticks by them through and through, and while he does sometimes put them at a distance and acts like a complete tool that doesn't care about them-- he really does deep down. All above also shows his nerve in situations. It's likely due to his brother helping him keep up his constant coolkid facade and forever pokerface that got rid of any unnerving emotions he may have started off with. Instead when he first began to the game and saw the body of himself due to something he decided to do in his time travels he barely batted an eye and thought 'welp guess I won't be doing that. Better get rid of the body before I freak out Harley' who'll be watching in as his Guide. While at the time it actually was a pretty big surprise, he mentally braced himself from then on in case he came face to face with any more bodies of himself from doomed timelines.
At the same time he prepared that eventually he may even face his own death. While he has the nerve for it, he tries his best to avoid it. He can't face the thought of his own death and you can't really blame a thirteen year old kid for that. Try to see yourself at the age facing all of this and be able to keep calm and cool about it. The way Dave is able to handle it so well proves that Bro's teachings didn't go to waste but at the same time it shows Dave hides a lot from the world deep down. He strives to be the best he can, but at the same time he won't dare try and surpass those he greatly admires such as Bro and John. While he more than enjoys Jade exaggerating and basically falling at his feet at how 'cool' he is, he doesn't really consider him as much as that. Not to say he is not confident in his abilities, but he finds that he does have a limit and there's just no chance of being better than those he really looks up to no matter what anybody says. So there isn't exactly chivalry in him. His title IS the Knight of Time he will never consider himself a hero. As he did state to Terezi in game that John is a Hero, his Bro was a Hero, but he himself will never be one. He'll more than prove that they are heroes, but someone like him won't be able to live to a title like that.
The arrogant side of him just makes him to be real douchey. He'll treat anyone like shit and will more than prove that he really does not care for most people. He'll even make fun of and insult his really close friends that it's hard to imagine why the hell they're friends with such an insufferable prick. It goes to show that it's really hard to approach Dave in a way, at least with all that guard he has up. What makes his friends so acceptable is they're still there despite his attitude. John Egbert ignores all accounts of coolness, a derp like him who is able to influence Dave so much. All his life he thought puppets were cool and awesome, due to his Bro upbringing, but the moment John says how creepy they are has Dave's opinions of them changing even if he tried to defend them. Though he admits later to Rose how much he dislikes and hates them. Mostly it's just people he admires that have such a strong influence, but John seems to have the most of it. Of course all this friendship he really holds close to him and mean a lot to him as mentioned he won't ever admit but shows it in some ways. As in another alternative timeline he does come back to save his best bro John from killing himself. There is no limit to Dave's loyalty.
When you meet this kid there's only two ways your thoughts can go. One, man that is one smooth and cool guy. He is about the chillest person that the word chill would change its definition to 'Dave Strider.' Like the word was made just for him. The amounts of cool could not be described. He carries that air about him, not even flinching to most everyday life around him. You know he's cool, he knows he's cool, damn he's just so fucking cool. That or you'll go with the second thought. Which is wow this guy is one complete utter douchebag. We'll come down to focus on his facade and pokerfacing. It's actually a nifty trick. He basically keeps everything kept inside and keeps the expression on his face straight-faced with no emotions leaking out. You could say he's expressionless but he may slip a look here and there but for the most part it's constant pokerface. He does his best to not reveal any emotions, giving only a shrug of his shoulders or a coolkid nod. Even his tone could be douchey but it's just in that forever whatever cool-like tone. He's really good at keeping his facade but it does have its slip ups. In most drastic situations or in moments where he's the most stressed out it is very possible to crack no matter how hard he tries to latch onto it. It's how he's grown up to being, it's how he feels the more secure.
It shows how insecure Dave can really be, coming down to actually caring about what his friends think of him and to be seen in this ray of cool. Though he doesn't have a lot of understanding in some situations he just faces stuff like that with sarcasm and the front he doesn't give a shit. So while he is a douchebag or coolkid upfront, there's a lot hidden underneath that only people like Rose and John try to get at. More so Rose than the others as she is constantly trying to hold therapy like conversations with him. If there's anyone that is aware of his insecurities and that can really get under his skin its her. Which is seen in his ways of trying to avoid her. For a second Household in mind Slytherin or Ravenclaw will likely best fit him. Slytherin wouldn't in aspects of him not fully being ambitious and he would never consider himself as a leader, that role is for John. With Ravenclaw while he wouldn't say he's HIGHLY intelligent, he will think he's intelligent than most. He has a knack for learning such as from Bro and he has hell lot of wit. Not to mention a guy like him who spent his days remixing songs and coming up with beats and rhymes there is no denying his creativity. Though I'm pretty dead-set for Gryffindor, he wouldn't even bat an eyelash to be placed in Slytherin (he IS a douche guys) but he wouldn't consider himself to be smartass enough to be in Ravenclaw. Gryffindor for more irony but Slytherin for a jerk.
COMMUTER DETAILS: Untapped.
POSITION: Student.
ORIENTATION: With Dave this is a bit difficult to figure out not only because he's only thirteen years old. Clearly he doesn't mind the ladies and has no problem swinging that way for them. But on occasion he has mentioned that "because i love him" about John and perfectly okay with John admitting he was attracted to him jokingly. The reason why it's difficult is because Dave can mean it in so many ways. When he states that he loves him, he could either be so deeply shit serious or just saying it in the most deadpan of ways and be completely joking around. Even more, he could be the most attractive coolkid and end up swinging for men for ironic purposes. Growing up he spent his life with his Bro who made plush phallic rump dolls for a porno site, so much dick in his face. So obviously he doesn't really care deep down. On the Kinsey Scale I'd say he would fall on a 1 or 2. He'll be heterosexual but honestly just wouldn't give a shit and can possibly lean in the other direction if it's someone he's really close to.
ABILITIES & POWERS: Since Dave was a baby he has been training. Training for what exactly? Well you would have to ask his Bro that. Bro who is seriously ninja fast started training him since yes, he was a baby. He has been forcing him in dangerous situations, forcing the child to respond quickly and fast. He even ended up teaching him how to use a sword, so while Dave's speed is top-notch he's also very good at swordplay. Now his Bro can ninja in and out of a room unseen, and well Dave isn't exactly that fast, but his speed is still pretty impression. Course his Bro is always beating his ass in the end. But there's no denying that he and Bro are able to move faster than any eye can see possible most times. Pretty much like a flashstep.
TIME TRAVEL: Dave, as the Knight of Time, has the power of time travel, allowing him to establish time loops which work to bring about the events of his present and the time point's future. The loops must be stable and internally consistent, otherwise offshoot timelines ensue and "dead daves start piling up and dead daves are the enemy remember". Being able to control time I imagine that in turn would make very successful in spells that involve time in some way. Such as Aresto Momentum and Immobulus.
In Homestuck there is also something known as the Sylladex which everyone is known to have. It's a device that allows them to carry a limited number of items on hand, all safely tucked away. Dave's has been proven to be the most useful kind, though a bit handful.
WAND: Cypress, phoenix tail-feather core, 11 inches and unbending. It's strength will lie in Charms and Defense against the Dark Arts.

THIRD PERSON:
Alright so your Bro just died.
Seconds ago the boy had stumbled upon the familiar parental figure, blood red coating the white t-shirt and the very spot he was resting in. His own damn sword struck through his chest, staying perched up in the most either taunting of ways or like some god damn ancient relic heard of in legends. Ironically maybe like a death in one of those ironic shitty animes they watched together. Maybe he wanted to go this way. Nothing like dying in battle, it's how a Hero always falls. Dave was prepared to seeing his dead selves if chances came to one stepping out of boundary and becoming a doomed line. He avoided it as much as necessary, because as mentioned before dead Daves were the enemy. Didn't want them piling up in high numbers. That didn't mean he was any prepared to see his friends die, much less his own flesh and blood. He couldn't exactly remember the conversation he had spent with Terezi, he remembered asking for some time alone. Some time to himself. It's all he needed. Yeah. He was now crouching down beside the body, red eyes from behind shades peering at the now lifeless body. Well.. Fuck.
The pokerface that was forever fixed on his face twitches for a split moment, but otherwise stays pretty concrete. Except there's no denying the sick feeling settling in the depths of his stomach. God fucking damnit. He never wanted this. It would've been better if he died, not his Bro. Even with it evident in front of him, the boy didn't want to go through some denial phase. No, his Bro was as good as dead, that he was certain of. A guy who seemed almost immortal for as long as he could remember, a guy who was constantly wiping the floor and owning his ass. Now he was just laying there. Dave doesn't move in his spot, for all he may be well aware of hours could have passed and he wouldn't have noticed. What should he do? It wasn't like he could go and bury him somewhere. Maybe he should take the sword out, it was the least he could do right? Man, how the hell is he suppose to know. He was still just a fucking kid, he wouldn't know what you're suppose to do when you come across your kin's murdered corpse. .. Yeah, the least he could do was remove the sword. Make him look more peaceful resting.
It all felt like a span of few seconds till the obsessive-licking troll was trolling him again. Man he could not get a fucking break around here, could he? He could have been grieving, guy he's lived with his whole thirteen years. He wasn't going to cry, nah that would be incredibly uncool 'sides his eyes are betraying all kinds of emotions right now. It's why he needed these shades. He could keep a pokerface, he can be some asshole, but his eyes will always betray emotions he was feeling. God damn fucking windows to your soul shit. Bro would probably beat his ass if he cried anyways. Oh well. Gotta move on, can't stay back. Deep down he wished these was more he could do. Finally, he comes down to replying. He cannot let this keep happening, he was not going to lose anyone else.
