character. CHARACTER NAME: Davesprite SERIES: Homestuck CANON POINT: While playing the Ghost Busters II MMO after Intermission 2 APPEARANCE: Mr. Orange Creamsicle DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Blade Brandier
Davesprite's weapon of choice is naturally the sword because it's what his Bro trained him to use. He's also pretty fast, and prefers being free to move. It's also within his personality to defend the people he cares about.
PERSONALITY: The best place to start is his similarities with Alpha Dave. First, being cool and ironic is a huge thing. He thinks he's the coolest person around. Really, he's kind of a huge dork. Davesprite idolizes his older brother because, to him, his brother is the coolest person on the planet, and also the strongest. He's taught to not show much in the way of emotion, but sometimes it slips, such as when he accidentally kills a crow at his apartment. No one must ever know. Davesprite's also pretty laid-back, taking things at his own pace. Like Dave, it can be hard to tell whether he's being sincere or being ironic. He also has about as good of a memory as him, which is to say that he's sometimes pretty shitty at remembering things (once Alpha Dave forgot he could even time travel). One final similarity is his determination to protect his friends, willingly going back in time to ultimately erase his timeline from ever happening to save them.
Alright, let's get down to the differences. It needs to be established that due to time shenanigans, Davesprite is technically four months older than Dave. That's because he needed to learn as much as he could about Sburb and practice with his Timey Wimey Stuff before going back in time to prevent his timeline from ever happening. He cares a great deal about his friends, since even though his timeline will cease to exist, Jade and John will still be alive. After gaining access to the knowledge Sprites get, he's supposed to be cagey about whatever info he gives to Dave, but he says he "doesnt feel like it."
Davesprite is also more bitter than Dave is. This is mostly seen during his conversation with the Rose from his timeline. However, it's also been seen subtly based on word choices in the alpha time. Really, it's not hard to see why he is. His best friend got murdered, in turn killing his other best friend, and when he saves him John seems to see him as "other Dave." Not to mention the only other person from his timeline, Rose, doesn't quite remember much of it, and is metaphorically dead to him. Adding insult to injury, when Davesprite goes to help Bro out with a fight with Jack Noir, it ultimately fails with Bro dead and himself severely injured.
This leads into another difference with his alpha self. His identity, perhaps the only thing from his timeline that he has left. He appears to tolerate being called Davesprite. However, he doesn't like being called "other Dave." He may well hate it. Davesprite has given John a small piece of his mind for calling him this, and to the reader would have appeared greatly upset by it.
samples. FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:
[Man oh man, it's one thing to be playing a MMO. It's another thing entirely to actually be part of one. Again.
On the other hand, Davesprite has his everything from the waist down back to something more human. That is definitely an improvement. And he gets bonus wings, so now it's like he's some sort of weird angel with orange feathers.]
I had to have died. That's the only fuckin' possibility. I somehow died while playin' that shitty Ghostbusters game and went to steampunk heaven.
[He sighs and shrugs. There's not much he can do about it if that's the case. The best thing he can do is get some information. That there are even people around after a year of only seeing two godly humans is…pitiful, to say the least. He's happy to have a break from salamanders and nakodiles and other sprites and shit.
Wow Davesprite's getting really sidetracked over here. He's just…gonna go walk up to a person.]
Sup. Where do I sign up as God's personal secretary? Obviously, it's my new role in existence if I've got fuckin' angel wings outta my back like a kid who got spliced with goddamn bird genes as a baby.
