That one huge character survey
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
A bit taller than most boys his age and far too thin.
2. How old is he?
SIX SOLAR SW I mean. Thirteen.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
It's not really 'slouchy' but he tries giving off the illusion of total nonchalance when he can. But he's actually kind of tense, especially around crowds.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He hasn't gotten any exercise for the past year, so yeah, not as fit as he used to be. It's caused a bit of muscular atrophy and he's suffering from malnutrition. Before that, real fit, though his immune system's been shit for as long as he can remember. Super mutants have weaknesses too. B,(
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
God, he can be all of the above, it just depends on the situation. Right NOW he's kind of a klutz because he hasn't been up and moving for awhile. Gotta get used to that again. In battle he's very fluid -- his ray control is better than any other Invimanus and he can perform some bitchin' acrobatics with 'em. AND SKATEBOARD TRICKS FUCK YEAH. He is a huge cheater, basically. Outside of that like I said before he's kind of tense, particularly during conversation and especially if it's with a human.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Pink Dave's a bit of a mess but hey, he cleans up well. The pink hair/horns/eyes might but a few people off, though. They're not exactly unattractive features, just bizarre. Dave thinks he's a hot motherfucker B|b but he will often go out with a hat/hoodie no matter how confident he says he is. It's easier that way; less questions, less hassle.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Ungodly pale and his torso is scarred to hell and back. Also, he's got tons of needle tracks up and down both arms and a few dots on his neck.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
BRIGHT MOTHERFUCKING PINK, WHAT THE SHIT. He used to keep it clean-cut and he had the most amazing sideburns, you don't even KNOW. Then it grew out in the Institute and he looks a lot scruffier. It's probably long enough to put in an ickle baby ponytail but he won't do that. Unless Jade does it for him or something.
oh god his eyebrows must be taking over his face
9. What color are his eyes?
Pinkish-red. In the dark they look very red and in the light, vividly pink.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Horns. They kind of look like cat ears. Don't mention that if you want to live
And then there's the four extra arms. They extend from his back and reach 1.3 meters from his person. If you can actually see 'em they're rather spooky. They look like gangly ghost limbs.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Shoulders. Back.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
He can rock casual and classy. His casual wear includes tees and jeans and pink converse. Instead of a record insignia plastered on everything he owns, Pink Dave retains the heart from his childhood. Instead of full suits he wears snazzy vests, and he's got one in every suitcolor Canon Dave has.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
As long as they're not too tight, then yeah. Straitjackets suck. B(
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
lol what job
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers.
PINK BOXERS.
(and you knew that was coming)
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Like a. Thirteen year old boy, idk. A little hoarse from disuse, and not really deep because lolpuberty, that's a thing he needs to finish going through.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Everything's kind of flat and unaffected. He speaks easily enough, no real hesitation or stuttering, but his tone is oddly hollow. He only gets loud once provoked. If Dave's loud and angry, you know shit's hit the fan.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Slight, slight, SLIGHT Southern drawl. He drops his g's sometimes and mashes a few words together -- y'all, m'not (i'm not), s'not (it's not), etc, etc.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
English. Does Strider count as a language??
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Languages, no. The Southern accent gets a little more pronounced when he's flustered.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Very good at speaking on the fly.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent in his own bizarre way. He can ramble your goddamn ear off without a pause or awkward silence.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Smarter than he seems. You have to have a good vocab to string words together like he does. Street smarts he learned from his Bro. He's not naive.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
On his feet. Always.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
None of the above. It's scattered as fuck and ridiculously dark at times. He can space out and get lost in his own head. This always leads to awkwardness.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
Public school 'til he was 9, homeschooling 'til he was 12. Educational pursuits were suspended afterwords.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
MURDER.
And rap.
...rappin' bout murders?? Now I gotta write one. 8|
He considers himself an expert on how to be cool, bested only by his brother. He's also a pretty good photographer, and he's interested in. Dead things. For some reason. As long as he's not the one dying, man.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert. Online/through text he'll ramble forever but in person/around new people he's a little more reserved. There's a reason he only has three friends.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Cool as a cucumber, but it's a little hollow and sad. Then he has a violent mood swing and heads roll.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Suspicious. You would be too if most people ended up punching you in the face.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act. He's very deliberate.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
FIGHT. ALWAYS. Can't abscond, bro!
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Gallows humor for sure, and DICK JOKES DICK JOKES. But to his credit they're remarkable creative dick jokes. He won't laugh at jokes, but he'll sure as hell crack 'em. Most are based on wordplay and bizarre metaphors. He can wax poetic about the stupidest shit and it can be a beautifully hilarious thing to behold. Inv!Dave gets his jollies from horrible sadism.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
OH BOY.
What he's got can best be described as paranoid schizoprenia meets dissociative identity disorder, but not technically either. His brain is unique. The 'DID' is this weird homicidal genetic drive that's vividly personified in his own head. Most days it's just something that chats him up from time to time, encouraging dickery, but provoke the kid and he lets the drive influence him more. If you do something that totally sets him off, expect 100% personality shift. Nobody's on the safe list then, because Inv!Dave doesn't value friendship or love or money or anything at all.
He deals with it as best he can, and he definitely suppresses it better than the rest of his species. Except for Deuce, but Deuce is just a freak. 8|
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
The whole 'bullied 4 life' thing shaped him early, but he kept on stridin' despite all that. The development of what can only be described as SUPERPOWERS made him a bit of a cocky cock. Bro's death sent him on a huge downward spiral and started a huge chain of revenge. And then there was Hell Year. Hell Year was a big deal, it's what made him so bitter and suspicious and anti-people.
And then there's that voice thing but that's not really a 'moment' so much as it is a constant problem.
14. What does he fear?
Death. Himself. LIL CAL
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
Lucid!Dave: Live a normal life.
Inv!Dave: KILL ALL HUMANS. REMAKE WORLD. ???? PROFIT!!
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
The whole 'driven to murder anyone and everyone' thing, that's a pretty big deal. He'd be happy if the details of his species remained under wraps for ever, but that just can't happen.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
His mom kind of tossed him away next to a garbage can in an alley in a 'i just had a babby and it has horns wat do'-fueled panic. In Texas. In the summer. Not that he knows about that.
Then his dad took him in and raised him as his little brother and --
This is just fucking weird, man. I'll cover Bro in 'siblings'.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
ACTUALLY BRO'S HIS DAD because blah blah long story. Least there weren't meteors this time. Just coincidence. EL-verses are built on those.
His relationship with Bro was pretty close but neither of them would express it or describe it as such. ...pre-'incident', at least. Hugs stopped being a thing that happened as Dave resolved to take care of himself and own up to his mutations. But really, Bro was the one guy Dave could implicity trust, even if he was a puppet-obsessed manchild weirdo. It was the only positive offline relationship he had. Bro didn't make him feel like a freak, even after he found out about the extra arms, and to Pink Dave that meant the world.
THEN JACKDO RUINED EVERYTHING and here we are.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Nah. Not unless you count his genetic 'brothers and sisters', related only by species, really. He doesn't actually like them much, though he won't attack one unless they're bugging/attacking him.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
THE THREE AMIGOS more on them in a second.
5. Who ARE the character's best friendS? How did they meet?
John Egbert, Rose Lalonde, Jade Harley. They met online and they've been chatting for years. Dave considers them his best friends because fuck you, online relationships can be meaningful, especially if you've got nobody else outside your one-man family.
6. Does he have other close friends?
Not a one.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
Dave's got huge HUGE problems getting along with people, given his urge to murder most of 'em on sight. And they don't like him either, so at least it's mutual. Online, over text, it's a little easier because he's not trying to tamp down on the KILL KILL KILL all the time, and he doesn't have to deal with people picking at his Invimanus features. Always a bonus.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
...that's hard. But since Bro is DEEEEEEEAD that only leaves friends, who are so close they're practically family, and --
BOTH. B|
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
MAYBE JADE Hard to say, because he doesn't publicly express his interest. Because he's thirteen and a dork. YES DAVE, A DORK.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Someone who accepts him and someone he doesn't want to murder in the face. That last one's pretty important.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
None, though he's caused a lot of second-generation Invimanus births. And no, because they'd be pure Invimanus babbies for sure.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
JACK
NOOOOOOOOOIR o9999
Shot Bro bluh bluh, and he just won't fucking die, no matter what Dave cuts off.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
...one? Two? DO I FACTOR MOIRAILS INTO THIS sob how do i trollmance
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
Thirteen year old boy. But. Still not on his mind much, his brain is wonkified and wired for murderrrrr.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
LALALA SIX SOLAR SWEEPS.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Sagittarius.
Eh. /kanyeshrug
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
no
just no
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Lucid!Dave regrets killing humans. Sometimes. If someone he cares about finds out he did it. He's also a little more fair to nonhumans at first, but if they're douchebags he's got no qualms with offing them too. Even other Invimanus.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Most people don't think exterminating the human race is a good thing! Who'da thunk. While lucid he's tolerant because that's, you know, reasonable and he knows he's irrational deep down, but Inv!Dave is the master of intolerance. He is basically GLaDOS' anger core. Emotion core. W/E, you get the idea.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
HUUUUMANS o9;;
I'd say it's pretty justified in his homeworld, because 90% of the population = HUGE DICKS. But he tends to overcompensate for what they did, particularly when provoked.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Pre-capture, the Striders scraped by. Bro made a pretty penny with his weirdo pornsites but since he's a huge manchild he spent a lot of it on stupid shit. They got buy, whatever. Post-capture, money meant nothing. His lodging was on the house. It was also horrific, but you get what you pay for.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
Social pariah. Then enemy of mankind. 8| KIND OF A BIG DEAL, MAN.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
Apartment, and he was kind of a shut-in for obvious reasons. The Institute was hell. That is all. He 'shared' it with a bunch of scientists and other Invimanus, though he never met the rest of the 'fam'. They wanted to keep him pretty isolated.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
When it actually mattered, junk food and records and sick gear and other ridiculous tech. In Sacrosanct he just wants to buy clothes of his very own. Or commission Kanaya.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
UNEMPLOYED.
He can probably clean ducts like a fucking boss, though. Hell yes cheating. o9999
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Makin' music. Rap. Murder. Pesterchum. Shitting around online. Murder. Photography. Collecting dead stuff. Making stuff dead. Shitty comics. Training. Doin' flips and shit.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He inhales everything like he's afraid someone's gonna take it away.

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Sagittarius.
Eh. /kanyeshrug
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
no
just no
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Lucid!Dave regrets killing humans. Sometimes. If someone he cares about finds out he did it. He's also a little more fair to nonhumans at first, but if they're douchebags he's got no qualms with offing them too. Even other Invimanus.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Most people don't think exterminating the human race is a good thing! Who'da thunk. While lucid he's tolerant because that's, you know, reasonable and he knows he's irrational deep down, but Inv!Dave is the master of intolerance. He is basically GLaDOS' anger core. Emotion core. W/E, you get the idea.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
HUUUUMANS o9;;
I'd say it's pretty justified in his homeworld, because 90% of the population = HUGE DICKS. But he tends to overcompensate for what they did, particularly when provoked.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Pre-capture, the Striders scraped by. Bro made a pretty penny with his weirdo pornsites but since he's a huge manchild he spent a lot of it on stupid shit. They got buy, whatever. Post-capture, money meant nothing. His lodging was on the house. It was also horrific, but you get what you pay for.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
Social pariah. Then enemy of mankind. 8| KIND OF A BIG DEAL, MAN.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
Apartment, and he was kind of a shut-in for obvious reasons. The Institute was hell. That is all. He 'shared' it with a bunch of scientists and other Invimanus, though he never met the rest of the 'fam'. They wanted to keep him pretty isolated.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
When it actually mattered, junk food and records and sick gear and other ridiculous tech. In Sacrosanct he just wants to buy clothes of his very own. Or commission Kanaya.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
UNEMPLOYED.
He can probably clean ducts like a fucking boss, though. Hell yes cheating. o9999
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Makin' music. Rap. Murder. Pesterchum. Shitting around online. Murder. Photography. Collecting dead stuff. Making stuff dead. Shitty comics. Training. Doin' flips and shit.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He inhales everything like he's afraid someone's gonna take it away.
