NAME: Davesprite
CANON: Homestuck
POINT IN CANON: After leaving the golden boat and wandering around a bit
AGE: 17 (with timey shenanigans involved. He told one person he was he was running around in the alternate timeline for 4 months, and another for a year, so I take that to be 4 months of 'normal time' and a year because of how he continued to loop back and forth through time)
APPEARANCE: He looks like your average teenage boy, if an average teenage boy was also part crow, ghostly, and bright glowing orange.
CANON HISTORY: Link
CANON PERSONALITY:
To understand Davesprite is to understand Dave, since they are quite literally the same person. Or at least, they had started out that way. Davesprite is just a bit older and has different experiences than the current 'Alpha' Dave.
Dave has always fashioned himself to be a 'cool kid' who could take practically everything in stride without a problem. He idolized his older brother and tried to emulate him in a lot of ways while still trying to be his own person. In a lot of ways he's just a normal kid. He likes playing video games, has interests in photography and rap music, though he did have a collection of small animal skeletons which one might consider odd.
His life had been far from normal though. His brother trained him practically from babyhood to be a fighter. Literally. There were swords and throwing knives and blades of all kinds stashed in the fridge, cabinets, and who knows where else. He had to steal food and hide it to be able to eat, and lived in constant anxiety as to when Bro would jump him.
To him it was normal, or he tried very hard to believe it was normal until he just couldn't anymore. He had to learn what a refrigerator was actually used for by watching movies, not to mention how family members actually treat each other. Dave had never really been able to come to terms with his brother's abuse and neglect, and it's unlikely Davesprite had been able to either.
There are some major differences between the two when it comes to the matter of their brother. Davesprite had be there to witness Bro's murder, and was unable to prevent it from happening where Dave had found the body afterwards. There is also the fact that Dave had three years to distance himself from his old life, but Davesprite had access to his apartment that whole time. Some of Bro's things had even been brought out into the main living space on the ship, which leads me to believe the guilt over not being able to save his brother has kept him from being able to move on.
In his everyday life, Dave is kind of a little shit when it comes to his interactions with others and Davesprite isn't all that different. He has no problem telling people off or letting them know he doesn't give a fuck about what they have to say. He will directly or indirectly insult people, rambling on in an almost storytelling sort of way. While he's never as completely stoic and impassive as he wishes, he tries to cover up a lot with jokes, ironic quips, and pop culture references. Rose is the only one who's ever been able to work through it, though usually by pissing him off in the process.
Not to say he's a complete dick to everyone. With his close friends he's actually very loyal, he just doesn't always know how to express himself well. They're the ones who get to see his dorky side come out, and his awkward social moments.
Davesprite has his differences though. He spent a good long time in a world where two of his best friends were dead, and there was no possible end to the game he was stuck playing. His sprite had been prototyped with the remnants of Lil Cal, his brother's creepy as hell puppet, which ended up as little more than a source of rage and frustration for him. So he gives up absolutely everything to go back in time and save John's and Jade's life, preventing that dead end future from ever happening.
The result is that he is from a timeline that had been doomed to erasure, which in time-player terms means that he is also doomed, usually in some violent, unexpected way. To give himself more time he becomes his own sprite, but it's not a permanent fix. Paradox space will catch up to him at some point and he knows that, so he lives every day expecting to die, especially after surviving the point in the game where all the sprites were supposed to die. He doesn't consider himself any sort of hero, despite having made a number of huge, sacrifices with the sole purpose of helping his friends succeed, regardless of what it meant for himself.
The social dynamic in general shifted between his friends after he became a sprite. The only person he'd had to talk to in all the time he was in the alternate timeline was his ecto-sister Rose, whom was something of a confidant already but they grew closer when the world ended and it was just the two of them. The Rose he knew is gone now since he erased that timeline, but he doesn't know that she survived in a sense as part of the Rose in the existing timeline. Granted now it's been three years since he'd seen her.
Jade was the one he always seemed to be nicest to, more genuinely playful. With Jadesprite he was very calm tempered and didn't run his words around in circles, choosing to be as helpful and supportive as he could be for her until she ended up merging with Jade when she went god tier. They ended up dating for a good while during the 3 year boat ride, but he ended up breaking up with her because he felt she deserved better. He admits that he screwed things up with her, but he didn't want her to be stuck with some cheapo version of Dave when (in his mind) she most likely wants the 'real' Dave.
John used to be his best friend, but he lost him once when John died, causing the creation of that alternate timeline. In a sense he lost him again when he came back in time to save him. Once he became a sprite John seemed to lose all sense that Davesprite was a real person, constantly referring to Dave as the 'real' Dave. John always had the biggest influence on Dave, and it wasn't much different with Davesprite. While he hides it for the most part, his sense of self worth has deteriorated a great deal, going so far as to say that "nobody really deserves bird dave as a boyfriend or a friend or anything" and considers himself like some shitty knockoff of the 'real thing' that everyone else would be better without.
Despite having once fought for his being 'real', somewhere along the line he'd started believing that he's not. Davesprite started to feel like a backup, placeholder friend until they met up with the 'real' Dave again. So he's bitter and jaded, often talking to himself because he has no one else to open up to. He knows he should say what he needs to say to them, but in the end he literally jumped ship the moment he could.
POINT OF DEPARTURE:
Veteran Traveler - He's only going to have been to the recent Doki Doki Walkabout, and only going to have been in liminal space a short time before that. It's going to help him remember what it felt like to be what he considers a 'real' person again, which -depending on what happens with the people around him- may make him feel better or worse about himself.
So it's not going to have changed him TOO much, save a lot of confusion, a new set of legs, and some new hammerspace hacking skills.
ABILITIES:
Sprite Powers: These can be kind of arbitrary, reading through the DokiDoki skills he can actually pull off a lot of the flashy things just because he's an sBurb sprite
Knight of Time: He's able to move through time to set up or prevent situations from happening, but to do so he has to make sure it's all run through a single, stable loop or multiples of himself will occur.
A time loop is the path he follows as he moves through time. If he encounters himself (or something he's done) he has to make sure that he's in that place, doing that thing at that exact time or else the loop will break down and cause an alternate timeline. All alternate timelines are doomed in some way. Any Dave that isn't the main Alpha Timeline Dave will die in some unfortunate way.
Davesprite was able to avoid his death by prototyping himself into a sprite, buying himself some extra time.
Since prototyping doesn't seem to negate any previous powers, he's still able to move through time as he pleases, he just choses not to because it's not something he particularly enjoyed. He never wanted these powers in the first place. It would probably take something big to get him to do it again.
Flash Step: Well it's less of a step now that he doesn't have legs, but he was trained by his brother to have really, really fast reflexes, allowing him to dart short distances faster than the eye can see.
Swords: He fights with these, occasionally using his chest like a sheath.
INVENTORY; -sprite pendant
- ishades- like an iphone, only shades.
- sylladex - A hammerspace/card deck inventory system. Do to his time shenanigans, his was upgraded to be much, much larger and much easier to use than Dave's was. It would function similar to Hammerspace III, i say this because others can hold things like large parts of buildings or planets and still have room left. His is nowhere near that big as far as I know, but was still able to hold a great deal. (Would he be able to keep his sylladex and have it function like Hammerspace III in regard to things like Rummage and Hammerspace Interference? Or would he have to give it up and use the skill?)
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?
Veteran Skills:
Audiocaudal Syndrome - birdlike legs and tail; Rummage Skill
Hammerspace Interference

ACTIONSPAM SAMPLE:
Telepathic Network Post
(a link to save your eyes of what I plan to do on the network if allowed. which will likely also a link. Davesprite is a tool, I'll be kinder to everyone's retinas.)
normally spoken version:
Dude I'm in a place and it's got people.
Hell yes, I need to get me some supplies if yall feel like helpin a bro out.
I need some fuckin Doritos.
Been on a boat for the last three fucking years and the i just happened to piggyback on some dude visiting japan and and the chump didn't even think to check out all the weird ass dorito flavors they got going on.
Like what even the fuck was wrong with that guy?
I'd like totally wade through an immeasurable field of over ripe dong to find the penultimate dick in which to suck to get me a decent sized bag of Doritos right about now.
Jesus fuck, it's been like forever since I've stained my fingers with the processed cheezy goodness or nearly choked myself to death by upending directly into my mouth to get the last vestiges of cheese dust and those little leftover shards that like to wedge themselves in the back of your throat.
Got me some random ass bird legs though.
Last thing I needed was someone dicking around in my proverbial programming so I can evolve like some feathery fucking pokemon.
Not that I didn't have enough swag oozing from my already existing feathers.
Yeah.
So there's that I guess.

ABILITIES:

∙Calsprite was able to shapeshift for short moments. Davesprite uses this just to make himself look glitchy.
∙Sprites can be solid or become completely incorporeal to pass through walls, leaving behind a smear of ectoplasm.
∙Create functioning energy objects ala green lantern. (similar to Liminal Manipulation II, only everything he makes is orange and glowy and he has to be present for them to exist)
∙Grow back missing appendages; he'd lost a wing and after time had passed he had it again.
∙He's able to overlay images onto things; like writing/graffiti on walls and paper, or creating lifelike images in the sky. He can make it so only whoever he wants to see it can see it (so I was wondering if this can extend to the network similar to Image Projection?).
