player information ● name: Megan ● age: 24 ● contact:squishyfeet ● other characters: Thor Odinson
character information ● name: Dave Strider ● canon: Homestuck ● canon point: Post-ending ● age: 20
● (canon) background:Homestuck wiki ● (original) world: n/a
● abilities: Time Travel: The ability to travel back and forth through time. He can create loops to alter the future, but he must maintain a stable loop or he risks creating alternate timeline. The only way to end an alternate timeline is to kill the non-alpha Dave (the Dave that doesn't follow the true timeline).
He can travel as little as a few seconds and as much as a thousand years, he can also bring people with him.
Although this is a game-breaking power, Dave is extremely reluctant to use it and doesn't take it lightly.
Immortality: Due to the level he's ascended to in the game, he's unable to die by normal means such as starvation, dehydration or natural causes. The only way he can die is if he's killed in a heroic or just manner, so it must be either self-sacrificing or he needs to be taken down.
Flight: Self explanatory.
Heightened agility: Dave can zip back and forth at inhuman speeds. This may be related to time travel, but other characters are capable of it.
He's particularly agile, even if we act as if his agility is not a power. He can run, jump and climb with finesse.
● strengths: Loyalty Dave is a devoted friend, once you get him warmed up. He doesn't have many friends, so he values the ones he has. He gets to know his friend's interests, discusses them and buys gifts with sentimental value and always lend an ear in a time of need.
When situations are dire, he'll sacrifice his happiness, he'll travel back in time to stop his friends fucking up and often drops the cool facade just long enough to tell people he's there to help them.
Creativity/Wit: Humor is emotional armor for Dave, as well as an endearing trait. Dave is known for his word play, his ramblings and his wide variety of pop-culture references. Despite coming off as inane and bizarre, he's intelligent. He's well-spoken with a large vocabulary and peppers his words with references from literature, history and politics. He's reacts fast and he's very observant.
He has a creative streak and dabbles in art that is "so dumb, it's brilliant". His art looks like garbage, but it's intentional. It's a car crash with social commentary and toilet humor. He raps, enjoys photography and mixes his own music.
Compassion: In trying times, Dave is concerned with those around him, more so than himself. Dave cares deeply, he observes and expresses concern when he notices a change in people. He puts on a show of being reluctant to care, but he allows people to vent with him and offers advice.
When he can't help, he feels hopeless and often takes it as a reflection on himself.
Preparedness: Dave knows the functions of the game before he plays and comes out with the techniques he believes are the most "effective". His powers require forward thinking, and he plans ahead. He's training when the threat of the Big Bad looms, devising all the outcomes and his role in them.
● weaknesses: Anxiety/Self Doubt: Dave does not perceive himself in a positive light, and is filled with self-doubt. Sometimes he closes himself off from people, he's insincere in the way he talks and he pretends he doesn't care about things. His concerns come through when he speaks, though he tries to act as nonchalant as possible.
His doubts stemmed from not living up to the standards his guardian set, given that he was the center of Dave's world and an impossibly cool and talented guy. Dave emulated him in everything, which lead to comparing himself constantly and falling short.
Dave has uncertainty about his abilities, about the future and about people's perception of him, and it often troubles him more than he'd like to admit. It makes him hold himself back, by ignoring opportunities and feeling too reluctant to utilize his full potential.
Awkward: Dave can be extremely charming, but this is unintentional. Dave's social graces leave much to be desired, and he blurts out things that bring conversations to a stop. It plays into his humor, which can either be crude or difficult to understand. It makes it hard for people to connect with him, but he can't bring himself to reel it in.
He's also a teenage boy, and he has all the baggage that comes with that.
Forgetfulness: Dave is prone to playing himself, frequently. He loses his place when reading, he forgets the initial point of discussions, he forgets names and constantly forgets the alien terms his alien friends teach him. When he forgets a word, he will poorly try to replace it with words he knows to save face. It can be easy to befuddle him with a prank, if you get him off track.
● job skills (optional): Dave is creative and clever, he's best with art and writing but he also enjoys photography. He'd be happy with any mundane job, he's interested in living a "normal" life. ● housing (optional): n/a
