Woah look at that shitty logoHello! I am anticriticalBishop, and I have devised a session, of sorts, to play. This session is like any other session, except, the game has been corrupted, by some sort of juju or other such Item brought in by one of the players, causing old nodes to Reconnect; Which than bringing back scratched concepts and terrible glitches into the game. (Including an entire new kingdom, seeking revenge against the designers who scratched it, but lets talk about that later.) Including: 1. Plenty of brand new game constructs, 2. A whole new Kingdom called Hecatomb, 3. A complete new set of rules to play by, 4. A whole cast of new characters, 5. Almost completely assurable death. there are 6 available slots: cherub- catnip troll- insaneAscendant troll- funguyi troll- troll- kid- classaybird kid- gregariousdeer kid- kid- heres a character sheet, made by insaneAscendant: {Spoiler} Age: (13-16) Apperance: (Picture optional, description in spoiler) Personality: (Paragraph minimum in spoiler) Interests: Sylladex: Abstrata: God Tier: Dream Place: Planet: (Short Description in spoiler) Extra:

Just go ahead and create your character. you can play as one side of a cherub or both sides. Anything goes that's part of canon. (Note: I have seen quite a few cherubs with cheeks that are not red/green and I am positively sure thats part of canon, so I would prefer if you used that color cheek. the color theme of the cherubs, on the other hand, can be whatever the fuck you want.) Oh! also, If you choose to be the evil cherub (or both sides of a cherub) you will be the only character to know what the juju is exactly. in other words, you can choose what you want the juju to be. there is another copy of the juju in both the human session and the troll session, which is what draws them together, so your character will need to cause that to happen via shenanigans or such.
glad to have you, catnip!

Reserving a troll spot. From what i've found, red/green is a homestuck dichotomy, I'd think that cherubs could be any opposite colours, red-green, blue-orange, yellow-purple, but it's ultimately up to you. Also, if you need an app skeleton, feel free to use this one: Age: (13-16) Apperance: (Picture optional, description in spoiler) Personality: (Paragraph minimum in spoiler) Interests: Sylladex: Abstrata: God Tier: Dream Place: Planet: (Short Description in spoiler) Extra: And add on whatever you need to.

I'm cool either way, I was just telling you what I've seen.
Name: Yutsuk Getryi Race: Troll Gender: Agender Age: Almost 7 sweeps Apperance: A very lean troll, they stand at well over six feet in height, and weigh a significant amount, though not as much as most other trolls, they could still easily take down others. Yutsuk wears the usual boring stuff, a shirt with his hemosign printed in his blood colour, some long pants and an overcoat to protect them from the frosted region they call home. They have a rather freckled face, occasionally going outside during the day when a large snowstorm blocks almost all of the light, most lusii are in hiding, and the undead move slowly if at all. They hoist vision 2x Fold, having a white pupil inside of his other one. (Function in Extra) Personality: Yutsuk is a very quiet troll, never really having much company in the frozen wasteland that they live in. He does occasionally talk with their friends online, more so in recent days, but they find it very difficult to keep the conversation going, as they doesn't usually have much to say. A troll of few words and many secrets, some would call them. Their days are spent asleep, and their nights are spent indoors, reading, playing games, drawing, all of that jazz. Though quiet, Yutsuk is very proud of theirself, often recalling their actions in days, weeks, even years prior, telling of brave adventures and great plunders that they went on in the frozen dungeons of FLARP, how they helped lost trolls to safety, asking very little in return, though they expected a lot, having saved lives and all, and how they kill beasts of the day in the heavy snowfall. Blood Colour: Purple/Indigo #330099Quirk: y6u dont t4lk much, 8ut when y6u d6, y6ur w6rd2 4re very cr:pt:c Interests: Chess, Reading, Snow, Stories, and of course themself. Sylladex: Storybook Modus- Similar to the cookbook modus, but shows possible things that could be made with what else is captchalogged, rather than what made the item. Abstrata: Riflekind God Tier: Thief of Void Dream Place: Derse Planet: Land of Spires and Dents (LOSAD) Extra: Vision 2x Fold- Magnifies vision, like a telescopic lense.

Well I'd like to think they'd follow an 8 letter name system, and would also host fairly similar names. Calliope and Caliborn are what we have to work with. They follow the two rules stated before, even if it's not much to go off of, it is still something. Still looking at their names, we see that Calliope holds a place in greek myth as a muse (In line with her god tier class), whereas Caliborn, when googled, only comes up with homestuck results, so it's safe to assume that he isn't major myth based. Using these, I'd tell you to write up the apps first, do the god tiers, then find something from myth having to do with the class, that is also 8 letters, from mythology and use that and something that sounds more masculine or feminine, based off of whose name you have already.

Names: Age: 15 Apperance: / Personality: The two personalities are uniquely opposite of their own aspects and have personalities that match eachother's. The Knight of Life is always serious and a real pessimist. He sets rules in order to preserve the lives of others. The Maid of Doom, on the other hand, is a perky psychopath who causes mayhem and has not just doomed others, but has also doomed a few timelines in her wake. The Knight of Life makes a strict effort to keep himself awake in order to keep her asleep, even if it hurts him and makes him tired and a bit flippy. He views his action figures as real people because of said tired flippiness. Interests: Playing with action figures, science/ Killing, making messes, dancing Sylladex: Swap Modus Abstrata: Pistolkind/ 2xBladekind God Tier: Knight of Life/ Maid of Doom Dream Place: Derse/ Prospit Planet: / Extra: Right. Ahem, they live on present-day Earth. This anomaly was caused by unknown forces in order to predestine the cherubs to play a game with some humans. The Knight of Life keeps their existence hidden, so they live in some underground ruins. They were raised from hatching by a human.. presumably the one who brought them there. Jujus:

Post by anticriticabishop on Sept 9, 2015 9:49:02 GMT -5
catnipbecause the system for cherub planets has not been put in place in homestuck, heres one I made: one planet, with two quest beds / denizens. when one cherub uses a quest bed, one part of them leaves the body and ascends to god tier, whilst the other is left in the original body, and has the chance to get to the other quest bed and ascend. an alternate possibility is that one side dies whilst the other ascends. the denizens, like the cherub, are two minds in one body, who are at war. the denizen's quest would involve settling they're feud, along with some other stuff. heres another thing. do you think we should have a sort of game master type of player, who, whilst playing as the first guardian (and sprites) would maintain the session by communicating with the players and specifying certain things about the session?

having a gm-type would be your job, if I'm not mistaken. Unless you plan on taking part as a player. It would not be necisarry, and it'd just be one more person who would need to be on board with this. It'll either drive the entire thing forward, or hold it back.
Also, with the Cherubs, I would imagine that you could probably kill off the body, use it for a sprite, and have a shit load of fun with those shenanigans. But, a body isn't required for a player to enter the game, as Aradia was just a spirit, and didn't have an actual body until becoming a sprite herself. So, there's that. The Cherubs could alternate bodies in a momentary cease fire in their war, as to ensure the survival of each of themselves, needing to work cooperatively to get the other in, then go back to normal? Or the nice one (Assumes green) kills herself once in the session to free them from the war. Just really throwing ideas around at this point, so I'm going to stop typing and post this.

insaneAscendant yes, I probably will be the GM. and as the GM, I will probably pull some strings to let those shenanigans proceed. there is also the fact that I am much better at roleplaying NPC type characters.

Name: Panzea Setoss Age: About six sweeps Gender: Female Race: Troll {APPEARANCE} Panzea is fairly short, but lean and agile. Her hair is short and tends to fly away in a lot of directions with not much regard to physics, which is why she keeps it at that length. She wears (obviously) a black shirt with her sign, a shepherd staff shape, in her colour, with a dark grey vest and a dark red skirt, and red shoes. Her horns somewhat resemble candy canes, except that a recent incident (in which she had her head repeatedly ground into a wall) has caused one of them to somewhat resemble a candy cane that has been half eaten. {PERSONALITY}Panzea is fairly level headed, but her emotions can be very intense at the best of times. She generally makes herself out to be calm, formal, and rather contemplative, an illusion often broken by her occasional dropping of casual, obscene, or even downright silly language into her sentences, which tend to be a touch verbose. When she is pushed too far, her more emotive tendencies show through, and she completely drops this facade, becoming very intense and very emotional, and losing a lot of her self control and impulse control. Blood colour: Burgundy Interests: Breaking into places, candy, symbology and metaphor. Sylladex: Candy bag modus. Sorts all captchalogued items into categories indicated by coloured candy wrappers, then mixes them together. Abstrata: Grapplegunkind God Tier: Witch of Breath Dream Place: Prospit Planet: Land of Mint and Bells Extra: Her s?eech has a me!odic !i!t to it.

I'll grab a human kiddo if that's okay :> Name: Nami Patter Age: 13 Apperance: {Spoiler:Click to Open} A very small girl with black hair. She always wears a jean skirt, running shoes and a horse shirt. Personality: {Spoiler:Click to Open} You are first and foremost an optimist, there is always a bright side to everything, and that is the side your going to look at. You love talking with you friends online as you haven't ever actually met anyone who is a person other than your dad and even he isn't around that much, mostly to sleep or eat. He is very protective and says that other people are mean and you can only assume hes wrong. Your friends are nice after all, but you can't let him know about them. As for the friends your aloud to have there are the horses and the great Kansas corn. You don't mind though, the fields are great and there's a pond for swimming. You tend to chatter for a long time about things nobody cares about, and you don't usually notice if they care or not, conversations are basically your best feature, you can keep them going no matter what. Interests: You love lots of things, Bird watching, Horse watching, crossword puzzles, regular puzzles, swimming, all kinds of sports really, you dabble in everything but those are the things you like the most. Sylladex: puzzlemodus: put the pieces together to get out the item Abstrata: Ropekind God Tier: Sylph of blood Dream Place: Prospit Planet: Land of Wheat and Rivers (LOWAR): A vast plain of golden wheat stretches for miles in ever direction broken by trail streams,rivers, and lakes. The dirt is red and barren in the center of these sections where water is least available. The strange creatures that inhabit the land are plentiful in great colonies across the varying types of wheat. They seem to have a complex history concerning the barren patches and an even more complex trading patter with their fellow Lowarians. But as food is plentiful the only threat they have is the monsters. Extra: Lives in Kansas on a farm, was home schooled, never really met anyone else except her dad, has a ton of stuffed animals, uses lassos and whips[/spoiler]

Calliope and Caliborn had separate dream selves, so from what I can tell, they would have had their own personal planets too, had Caliborn not hired Jack to kill Calliope prematurely. Caliborn also had his own Denizen, Yaldabaoth, which means Calliope would have had her own Denizen too.
However, I do like the idea of the Denizen with two personalities having an internal conflict. This is the plan: the cherub alchemizes a gun, which they use to kill themselves to enter the game. The body is absorbed by the sprite, and their souls wake up on opposite sides of the planet. They're provided prosthetic bodies by the game (robot bodies) and the sprite also splits into two halves, so that they each get a personal sprite. The sprites have neutral personalities since the souls of the cherub were removed.

I found good names for my cherubs. The female can be Thalia, named after the muse of comedy, and the male can be Thaddeus, named after an epostle of Jesus and the Saint of lost causes

@ catniphuh, its an interesting idea, but i feel like forcing the characters to become game constructs in some form wouldn't really work in a session. the idea of them playing as two separate players is good, but i feel like the souls in control of robotic bodies is a bit to complex and sort of inconvenient. (but i can agree with the fact that robot cherubs are fucking cool) i think it may make more sense for them to just reawaken in two different bodies, but another thing is that Sburb usually helps - or forces players to grow and learn. in this situation, they cant grow because instead of helping them overcome they're burden it just lifts it from they're shoulders. one of the big issues for a cherub is the split personalities, and it would be a big part of the game for them to learn to work together and have an agreement. it may be interesting if what one does affects the other.

Daw. Fineee. ;-; But it would be harrrrrd and they can't interact together if they're one body, how does that teach them anything
They switch personalities upon sleeping, there's no way to really work together as you say
Just trying to figure out how this thing would work so I'm not messing it up in the RP

Post by anticriticabishop on Sept 20, 2015 6:16:43 GMT -5
the thing is that as two separate people they don't need to deal with each other. but as one, its necessary for them to have an agreement since for the first time they have freedom. by stopping they're denizens fighting they need to stop they're own conflicts, or achieve dominance over the body. overcoming the whole two sides of one body is something required of a young cherub.
