Current characters: N/A
CHARACTER INFO
Name: Eridan Ampora
Journal: speakerofthevvastwweh for now; might switch over to another journal if I feel like setting up a bunch of humanstuck icons.
Canon: Homestuck
Reference: Wiki link!
Race: Hooman.
Age/DOB: Eridan's 16. No clue what his birthday should be.
Appearance: Eridan is a wiry but surprisingly muscular 16 year old. He's as white as humanly possible, and has gelled black hair with a zig-zag purple streak. He wears non-functional hipster glasses and basically the worst clothes. Yes, human eridan still wears a cape everywhere. It's terrible, I'm sorry.
History: One of the fundamental aspects of Eridan's character is that he's never been challenged. He's coasted along in life on his privilege, wealth, and connections, dismissing any challenges to his abrasive and self-centered worldview by dismissing the challengers themselves as irrelevant and beneath his station. He went to a rich private school, did lots of rich people things with his family, played a lot of games, got a lot of people pissed off at him and promptly forgot they existed - he's done a lot of things, but none of them have been difficult or important.
I guess the only really relevant things to mention are his relationships with other human-versions-of-trolls - he met Vriska on the larping circuit and they've been an on-and-off Item for most of that time; Karkat's a friend he met over the internet on a film critic forum, and they argue about romcoms over AIM; Feferi's his cousin or something? And the heiress to a different part of the Ampora-Peixes family fortune? IDK.(he probably still has a crush on her. im sorry. this is terrible.)
Personality: Eridan Ampora is just as much of a stubborn, self-centered ass as he is in canon. Okay, fine, he's less murderous, but that's it. Eridan's core personality trait is his complete unwillingness to bend. If he comes to a conclusion, or makes a decision, or gets into an argument, not only will he assume that there is no chance that he's wrong, but he'll also be completely baffled by the idea that anyone else could possibly think differently from him. As far as he's concerned, he is always right, immediately, and everyone always agrees with him. (In case it wasn't clear, those two things are almost never true.) He's also got a pile of self importance a mile high, stemming from his rich-white-straight-cis privilege and also his complete lack of self-consciousness. Plus, he's a really enthusiastic gamer, tabletop roleplayer, and LARPer - he's actually a pretty good strategist, but in any game that requires diplomacy or inter-player cooperation he gets into flaming rows and/or loses miserably, and he's dissolved several D&D groups by treating tabletop roleplaying as a competition between the players. Look, short version is, he's terrible.
Abilities & Limitations: Eridan's actually surprisingly fit - despite being a scrawny nerd, he's done a lot of LARPing, which has left him quick and agile, if not particularly strong. He also has a massive personal bank account, funded by his allowance and his actually rather competent forays into the stock market. Unfortunately, said bank account's usage is monitored by his father, who is a controller.
AU Explanation: Having not been exposed to troll bloodthirst as a shining ideal, Eridan is less comfortable with the idea of casual murder. Uh. That's basically it, though - Eridan's privilege, arrogance, and lack of perceptive abilities have survived the transition from Alternia intact.
The Invasion: ERIDAN'S DAD IS A CONTROLLER, WHOOPS (they mostly ignore his absurd escapades but he kind of can't throw his status and money around without drawing his father's attention)
RP Sample: T-T-T-TEST DRIVE
