Making a Quirk

There are a variety of ways to create a quirk for your troll; this covers all of the ways a quirk is seen in canon, and will hopefully assist you in creating one yourself.

Typing Styles

A typing style is a manner of capitalization, punctuation, etc. It doesn’t feature anything special. Significant typing styles can be seen in four of the canon quirks.

tAVROS HAS A REVERSE CAPITALIZATION OF SORTS,, AND USES COMMAS FREQUENTLY, INSTEAD OF, UH, PERIODS? 

Kanaya Capitalizes Every Word And Does Not Use Punctuation unless necessary.

KARKAT CAPITALIZES ALL LETTERS (TEREZI DOES THIS ALSO, BUT HER QUIRK IS NOT CENTERED AROUND THE TYPING STYLE LIKE KARKATS IS). 

GaMzEe TyPeS lIkE tHiS. (I hate typing Gamzee’s quirk but you get the idea).

You can create a typing style for your troll as their quirk. These generally relate to personality and tone, rather than interests or patterns or weapons.

Homestuck OC Guide Part 1: Fankids

homestuckfacebookroleplayguide:

Fankids! Where do I begin?

Well, a fankid is a Homestuck OC, obviously. They’re actually pretty similar to general OCs, with just a few minor things that set them apart.

I’m going to start out with their names. Their names are actually pretty important and are one of the things that set them apart from general OCs. A fankid’s first name has to have 4 letters and 1 syllable. No exceptions. You can find a list of names with 4 letters and 1 syllable here. Their last name has 2 syllables. The number of letters depend on whether they are a Prospit or Derse dreamer. Prospit dreamer’s have 6 letters, while Derse dreamer’s last names have 7 letters.

Their age should be 13.

When in a session, Prospit and Derse dreamers have an equal number of girls and boys on each side. That’s only relevant if you are playing a session. Also, Derse dreamers tend to have a.. darker personality than Prospit dreamers, per se.

I wish I could say the way they type wasn’t really important. The way I see it, typing ties into their personality. Dave, for example, doesn’t really give a shit, so he types like he doesn’t give a shit. Rose types with proper syntax because she is smart. John types like your average internet user because he is an average internet user. Jade types like an excited giddy school girl because she, in a way, acts like one. Just keep that in mind. It’s a pretty minor detail.

Sylladex! The sylladex is the inventory system in Homestuck. It is there to be inconvenient. I can’t really write much about this. If you would like to read more, I would go here.

I can, however, tell you something about their strife specibi. It usually relates to their personality/their interests/where they live/how they were raised in some way. This isn’t always the case, but it usually is, and I definitely recommend relating it to their personality, interests, etc. If you can’t think of something for their specibi, I suggest looking through this and finding something you like. Also, I wouldn’t make it to unrealistic! If they wouldn’t be able to hold an axe, don’t make their specibi axekind.

Their land and title is generated randomly. Titles don’t have more than a syllable, but  feel free to break that rule as it is extremely minor. Lands are Land of ___ and ___. Not Land of ____ and not land of ____ ____. If you are having trouble with their land and/or title, I would suggest this generator. It is actually very useful for other things as well, such as consorts, text colour and chumhandle.

Next, text colour. A very minor detail which I am barely touching upon. Generally, darker/evil people are associated with darker text and good/lighter people are associated with darker colours. Once again, feel free to break this. This isn’t set in canon.

They only have ONE gaurdian. Do NOT make them have more than one guardian. My biggest pet peeve is when great fankids with amazing potential have more than one guardian. This gaurdian’s name only has 3 letters. No more, no less.

I feel as though their personality is totally up to you. However, I will say this. Everyone is the way they are for a reason. 

Their age should be 13.

That’s silly and pretty irrelevant. The Alpha Kids were all 16, if I am correct. I suggest making them under 18 & above 12 though, since from what we’ve seen it’s generally teens/not adults who play SBURB.

When in a session, Prospit and Derse dreamers have an equal number of girls and boys on each side. That’s only relevant if you are playing a session. Also, Derse dreamers tend to have a.. darker personality than Prospit dreamers, per se.

Though the planets should be balanced, gender is irrelevant. I am making a session of all girls (since girls are amazing and I am terrible at making male characters) and I don’t see how this could effect the session whatsoever. Do what you will with gender! : )

Also, the brief analysis for Derse and Prospit dreamers is very off. Here is what I go by:

In-Charge(Directing and Initiating). Typically taking quick action and focused on results, they drive the team to achieve the goal. (ESTJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, ESTP)

Chart-the-Course(Directing and Responding). Typically knowing the plan and what needs to be done to reach the goal, they focus on keeping the team on track. (ISTJ, INTJ, INFJ, ISTP)

Get-Things-Going(Informing and Initiating). With a focus on interaction, they act as a catalyst using information, enthusiasm, energy and excitement to persuade and involve others. (ESFJ, ENTP, ENFP, ESFP)

Behind-the-Scenes(Informing and Responding). With patience and a calm, quiet style, they focus on understanding and accommodation to lead the team to the best possible result. (ISFJ, INTP, INFP, ISFP)

If you are In Charge or Chart-the-Course, you are a Derse dreamer! Derse dreamers are said to be more active, the offensive one, and it is up to you to figure out if this is something you need to work through, or use as a strength!
If you are Get-Things-Going or Behind-the-Scenes, you are a Prospit Dreamer! Your informing style will suit you better for defending others, and much like the Derse Dreamers, you must figure out if your passive nature is something to work through, or use as a strength!

Their land and title is generated randomly.

NONONONONOONONONO!!!!!!!!!

The Land and God Tiers pertain to aspect and that person’s personal quest and is also EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!! The personal quests exist in Sburb, not to make the game harder, but to have the person develop and mature as a person, aka to make them more fit to be a GOD OF A UNIVERSE. An excellent land test is over here:

and a God Tier test here:

and here for a shorter one:

Generally, darker/evil people are associated with darker text and good/lighter people are associated with darker colours.

I think this came before the Alpha Kids, since you can all see why this is incorrect.

MY suggestion is looking at color pshycology, or simply finding a color that fits your characters personality! .w.

I found this guide and just had to comment. So many things here are wrong. I picked out the things that caught me at first, but I might have missed some things. THAT BEING SAID! Use this guide with a grain of salt, and feel free to ask me about anything else you notice that is off.
Thank you!
