Current Characters: Birkin, Kid, Justin, Undertaker

Character: Sollux Captor/twinArmageddons ~~because one wasn't enough, evidently~~
Fandom: Homestuck
Character Notes:
History: Great question.
Personality: Basically, he- okay fine, I'll attempt to muddle through Homestuck's fucked up canon for you guys.
History: At the beginning of Act 5 we get introduced to the Trolls, an alien race of, well. Trolls. In the Internet sense of the word, not the under-a-bridge one. Sollux is one of the first couple introduced, mostly because he's kinda. The reason the Trolls get royally fucked later on, kinda, if you want to point fingers like a dick. Anyway, before the whole Game Touching Off The End Of Days Thing, Sollux lives in a communal hive stem (read: highrise apartment) with his Lusus/guardian/pet two-headed cybiclops living up on the roof.

And then, he pulls a Cassandra on everyone and reveals he had a dream where the whole planet dies. Him especially. He will die the worst. ~~Because Sollux is a huge fucking drama queen when he wants to be.~~ He will die so bad, he dies twice. Technically he was half-right; his prophetic dream was about the Trolls' dream selves and those were the only things that ended up getting killed though.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, he introduces the other 11 to Sburb because he figures that is the only way they can save their planet and not die. Turns out he was a little off about that too. Though maybe it would have gone better if he hadn't inadvertently cursed Karkat and killed all the Trolls' Lusus... -es? Lusii? ...yeah.

So ten of the Trolls, minus him and Feferi, are already in The Medium playing and such, and then, when the two of them enter, Sollux('s first dreamself) is dead and KK cries like a little bitch and Fef kisses the corpse.

I told you, this canon is pretty fucked.

But regardless, Sollux is still alive and kickin' after all that weird shit so that he can be with the others as they help/troll the kids. Because he refuses to stoop to that level because he is evidently too mature for that shit and originally only functions as their IT guy. Because he is well known as a totally epic hacker.

And then. He gets his eyes poked out by a hipsterfish and Karkat drops him down some stairs and knocks his teeth out. Funny enough, this ends up mellowing his bipolar ass the fuck out because without his 9000 fangs he doesn’t sound like a stereotypical gay man anymore, and he doesn’t have to listen to future voices telling him how fuck his friends and he are. So yeah.

Personality: Basically, he's a bipolar introvert with psychic powers and idiot friends who he is so much more mature than. In case you couldn't guess, his zodiac sign is Gemini which plays into his serious mood swings and duality obsession. He kind of decorates like the world was meant to be viewed through those red and blue 3D glasses: His shit is red and blue and black all over. Other than his bee-powered mainframe that he originally has before, y'know. The world gets destroyed.

He's really self-depreciating too, and pretty much just. Acts like someone with legit bipolar disorder on one of their bad days. Granted, I guess if I could see the doomed future, I'd probably not be the happiest person in the world either. His lisp is probably just the icing on the I Hate Myself cake. And him getting called Tholluth probably doesn't help his self-esteem any, but yeah. He still slings insults left and right because even though he hates himself, everyone else is still an idiot. Especially at computers.

He gets better! And happier! And learns how to smell colors like Terezi! And also, he gets the nifty bonus of getting over his position of not talking to the idiot kids.
Other: He evidently turns into Cyclops from X-Men when he eats mind honey. Also, he types in "mustard yellow" text, based on Terezi's description of the color. I think I personally would have called it earwax.
Additional Links: Do you guys actually go on all these links? I'd get lost on all the wikis, I bet. (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Sollux_Captor)

First Person (I'll just use this space to apologize right quick for the slightly eye-searing yellow you're going to need to put up with):
began trolling

Third Person: Sollux sighed with thinly-veiled annoyance. No matter how much he tried to avoid it, at least once a week, he ended up with at least one bee sting. One very painful, very itchy sting on a bony arm, and the hacker had no desire to keep dealing with this week after week. His Lusus better appreciate all the hardship he was going through making all this mind honey for the stupid fucking thing. “Thtupid thingths…” he mumbled, inwardly wincing at the sound of his voice. Stupid bees, stupid lisp, stupid honey.

He just wasn’t in the mood today. Or any day. It was just the shitty cherry on top of an already shitty life. Sollux absent-mindedly scratched at the yellow-ish bump on his skin, hoping it would relieve the itching even if it ended up swelling more. It still hurt, and scratching wasn’t helping. It was only making it itch more an-

Sollux hadn’t even noticed how annoyed he’d managed to get until he noticed there was a cluster of throwing stars rather deeply imbedded in the wall of his hive. These stupid psionic abilities were more trouble than they were worth half the time. Today was just really not his day. With a firm mental tug, he freed the weapons from his wall, setting them gently on the ground. Knowing his stupid luck, he’d probably end up chopping his mainframe in half inadvertently tossing those things around like that, and he shuddered to think how many fucking beestings he’d get from that dumb mistake.

We're concerned that while the general facts of your character notes seem to be correct, the actual ins and outs of character interactions and relationships are missing, glossing over many important details. Can we see a more thorough set of notes?

Additionally, as discussed with CND about Aradia above, while colour and typing quirks are fine, it would probably be best to approach DDD in a browser format rather than that of a chat memo.

Sollux is the Trolls’ resident hacker/computer wiz/depressed kid they can blame anything on.

Before the actual plot started taking place, he played a part in the clusterfuck that was Vriska being a huge bitch while FLARPing. After Vriska threw Tavros off a cliff, Aradia wanted to get revenge, so she made the ghosts of Vriska’s previous victims haunt her. Then, someone speaking in white text, who we later learn is Doc Scratch, tells Vriska to kill Aradia to get the ghosts to fuck off. So Vriska used her manipulative powers to get Sollux to eat some mind honey and vaporize Aradia for her. And then Terezi decides to get involved and convinces Doc Scratch to make Vriska’s/his magic cue ball explode, making her lose ~~one~~ seven of her eyes and her arm. And then Vriska decides to get her back for that and she manipulates Tavros to talk to Terezi’s Lusus using his animal-talking-to-powers to communicate with Terezi in a dream, to make her walk outside during the day and stare at the sun until she goes blind. After that, they finally decide it’s gone a bit far and call a truce. While Sollux never personally talks about being part of this tornado of wtf and death, it probably didn’t help his depression any.

Granted, it’s mostly his fault in this case. Mostly. He helped Aradia figure out what in the hell S~~burb~~grub was and convinced the other 10 to play with them. So he comes up with this cockamamie plan where there’s two competing teams playing against each other so that one of them can win and save the world, but then they figure out they’re all playing together, so it’s actually the 12 of them and Sollux brings up the rear and enters the Medium last. Or at least that’s the plan. In reality, he ended up being second-to-last because Feferi was waiting on him so her Lusus wouldn’t kill all the trolls in the galaxy. He doesn’t quiiite make it in time before that happens, though, and he ends up dead. And Karkat cries bitch tears. And Fef kisses him. And gets one of his dream-selves to take over that whole “living” thing for him instead.

All the Trolls manage to make it to the relative safety of the lab they’re all hanging out in where they. Troll people. Sollux is a total stick in the mud about it, however, and never directly talks to any of the kids. After Aradia’s robot body explodes, he mostly hangs out on Gamzee’s horn pile (don’t laugh it’s not funny) with Feferi talking about ~feelings~ with each other.

And then I’m guessing a combination of cabin fever and the fact that they were all a little loopy to begin with makes everyone basically lose their shit. Eridan goes on a mini killing spree and blinds Sollux in the process because he fucking can, Gamzee’s sober and is walking around generally being FUCKING HORRIFYING while honking, and the body count is almost at Clue-levels at this point. Karkat decides the best way to deal with this isn’t curling into a ball on the floor and crying until death comes for him, and (literally) drags Sollux along for the ride. And then he trips down a flight of stairs because he has all the grace of a gorilla and knocks the poor kid’s teeth out. ~~And then tries to put them back, A+ for effort.~~ Once he wakes up, he starts typing like Aradia, with the 0’s for O’s now that he’s lost his lisp and asks Terezi to teach him how to smell colors and taste the rainbow all the way across the sky and all that kinda crazy crap she gets away with all the time.
