Reason for Playing: Well, in addition to being enabled, I've been wanting to play Ventus again for a LONG time. It's been almost a year since I last played him. Also, in addition to LOZ, Kingdom Hearts has always been one of my favorite games. So, being able to put my favorite Kingdom Hearts character into a Zelda universe was just ideal. As for what I'd like to happen with Ven in Wishing Scales, well, I think putting a character that has that much light in his heart into as dark of an environment as Termina, it might be a very interesting concept for him. While he's not unaccustomed to being in new worlds, he would be very interested in seeing how vastly different Termina is from his home world of Land of Departure. I think given the right means of adaptation, he could really thrive in Termina, as long as he can make sure that Aqua and Terra are safe.

Canon Point: End Game, after falling asleep after his fight with Vanitas

Background: A long time ago, there was a young man by the name of Ventus working as an apprentice to the legendary Master Xehanort. It was a position the boy enjoyed, but sadly, he was not a good candidate for the Master’s plans. Instructed to fight against Heartless by embracing the darkness within him, he refused. It was not a path he wished to go down. Out of frustration with the boy, the Master decided he would take matters into his own hands, and unlock the darkness contained within the boy’s heart, all on his own. This darkness would divide this boy into two individuals. Himself, the being of pure light, and Vanitas, a doppleganger of himself composed of pure darkness.

However, this left Ventus in a broken state, and the light within him was growing weak and frail. He was then taken to a small island world known as Destiny Islands, in order to live out whatever few days he would supposedly have left. Whatever semblance of a heart and consciousness Ventus had left, delved into a dream like world known as the Dive to the Heart. Here, his heart encountered the incredibly young and newly formed heart of Sora. Both of their hearts connect, and Ventus’s begins to repair thanks to the light from Sora’s heart, and it allows Ventus to remain alive so he can learn to fix the damage caused to him on his own. This simple little encounter strikes Ventus’s still sleeping body to summon his Keyblade, leading to Xehanort realizing that he has to take Ventus elsewhere, and that elsewhere being the Land of Departure, where he would remain as an apprentice to Master Eraqus.

Two of the current students there, Aqua and Terra, were willing to accept Ventus almost instantly. However, upon being questioned about his past, Ventus wound up in a fit of pain and lost consciousness due to it. This has to do with Ventus having lost many of his memories from prior to arriving at the Land of Departure. He slept for a while, being watched over by the two new friends he had made, and upon finally waking—his heart began to heal.

Through close ties and bonds of friendship that had begun to form between him and the two others, he was able to grow close to these two, and his heart was able to gain strength from them. Specifically Terra, who he came to regard as a brother especially after receiving a wooden Keyblade from him, and being put through a mock ceremony to earn the title of Keyblade Master. At this moment, and after all these close ties with Aqua and Terra, the three of them realized they shared the dream of becoming real Keyblade Masters.

Despite how Ventus, Terra and Aqua always remain close, Ven never quite understands some of the things about himself, even when practically being told exactly what should be known. One night during a meteor shower, Ventus gathers Terra and Aqua with him and they all go outside to look at the night sky. Terra explains to the others that all the stars are others worlds, and have a strong light, just like the light Ventus carries within himself. Not understanding, the two boys get into a bit of a spar together, and proceed to get interrupted by Aqua who shows that she’s made the three of them good luck charms known as Wayfinders. These charms were blessed with a powerful magic that would connect the three of them, and make it so their unions could never be broken.

The Mark of Mastery exams that happen the next day for Aqua and Terra do not go as planned as sentient orbs of light meant for Aqua and Terra to fight against become rouge and attack the three Keybladers, leaving all three to participate against them. Somehow during this display of activity, Ventus once again gains the interest of Master Xehanort as well as his current apprentice, Vanitas.

After the ceremony, Vanitas appears in Ventus’s room, giving him incentive to leave home by stating that Terra is going to go down the wrong road, and that he’ll change, and Ventus will become left behind by him. Offended by the threats against his friend, Ventus states that Vanitas knows nothing about Terra, causing the figure to leave. In a panic, Ventus leaves his room, chasing after Terra in hopes of warning him about the stranger in his room. Sadly, it’s too late by the time he gets to Terra, and he has to go after him.

The first world Ventus arrives at in order to look for Terra is that of the Dwarves Woodlands, the world of Snow White. Initially, he is thought to be a thief, by the seven dwarves, and thus has to prove otherwise. Once earning their approval, he hears a scream off in the woods and goes to investigate, only to discover the princess Snow White, being attacked by Unversed. After saving her, he learns that she encountered Terra and he had helped her out. Ven immediately tries to figure out what has happened. He then encounters the Wicked Queen in the form of an elderly lady, who proceeds to tell him that Terra threatened her with his Keyblade. Ventus refuses to believes this and moves on to the next world.

The second world he goes to in order to search for Terra is that of Castle of Dreams, the world for Cinderella. He befriends the princess as well as one of her mouse friends, Jaq. He finds out very quickly that Terra is not there, but proceeds to lend a hand to help Cinderella get ready for the royal ball. Hearing about Cinderella’s dream to go to the ball reminds Ventus of the dream he shares with Terra and Aqua and how he’s sure that they’ll all reach it one day.

The next world he arrives at is the Enchanted Dominion, the world of Sleeping Beauty, where he gains another clue about Terra. He frees the heart of Princess Aurora, he crosses paths with Maleficent, who reveals to Ven that Terra is the one who took Aurora’s heart in the first place. Before Ventus can get too upset over this, Aqua arrives and reassures Ventus that this is something Terra would never do. Relieved to hear this, Ven is then instructed by Aqua to return home, but he stubbornly refuses after remembering the message left to him in regards to Terra becoming a different person.

Upon leaving this world, Ventus encounters Vanitas in the Lanes Between, the paths between worlds. He then chases the other to the Keyblade Graveyard where he tries to get some answers from Vanitas about what he’s been told. Being cryptic, Vanitas just repeats that Terra is going to become a different person, and Ventus is going to be too late to do anything. The two of them engage in battle, and Ven becomes incredibly overpowered very quickly, but is saved when King Mickey suddenly arrives and is able to help Ventus defeat him.

The king and Ventus then introduce one another, and Ven learns about the Star Shard that Mickey carries, that allows him to travel to other worlds. But almost instantly after this happens, the star shard sends them both to Radiant Garden. Ven tries to go after Mickey when they arrive there, and winds up at the castle of Radiant Garden, and is ordered to stop trying to go in by two of its guards, Dilan and Aeleus. From his position, he catches sight of a monstrous Unversed, and for the time gives up on his search for Mickey and goes after the Unversed instead. Ven gets interrupted on his way to the Unversed by Scrooge McDuck who he winds up saving, and thus receives a gift in the form of Lifetime passes to Disney Town.

Ventus finally tracks down the giant Unversed and runs into Terra and Aqua at the same time. The three of them team up and take down the giant enemy. And although it might seem that the three of them might be patching things up, by stating that they make a good team and they’re glad they’ve found one another, things only seem to fall apart. Aqua begins to instruct Ventus that he needs to go home, and that it’s not safe for him to be out here. Then a fight breaks out between her and Terra in regards to the darkness and the intentions Master Eraqus had for Aqua in respect to watching out for Terra. Ventus is completely lost, and almost hurt by seeing his friends fight light this. Terra leaves the two of them after a moment, and Ven is left alone with Aqua, completely wounded by what he has just seen. He mentions to Aqua that her becoming a Keyblade Master has gone to her head, and he runs off to search for Terra once more.

As his search continues, he witnesses a small boy known as Ienzo being attacked by Unversed, and without a second thought, he protects the boy and fends off the Unversed. After their defeat, a scientist from the castle, known as Even comes and thanks Ven for helping them, and is able to give Ven some advice as to where Terra might be.
But finding him again is bitter sweet. Terra leaves almost immediately after Ventus finds him and instructs him that he can’t come along. But some of the damage from the fight before is mended as Terra points out to Ventus that he knows that if he needs help, Ven will be there when he needs it. Shortly after, he finds Aqua again. Ven very adamantly insists to come along, but she orders him to return to their home, only to try and reassure the boy that she only wants him to be safe.

However, Ventus ignores her orders and remains in Radiant Garden, essentially moping and sitting around, being depressed about how he misses a time when his friendship with Tera and Aqua wasn’t so complicated. Darkness and fighting has come between the three of them, and he’s left wondering what it means to be friends with someone, and what it’s like to not have to be caught up in all this confusion and frustration. While remaining in Radiant Garden, he then meets two boys around his age, by the names of Lea and Isa. Rather quickly, he connects with them through a friendly sparring match and some playful teasing from Lea, who leaves him by pointing out that the three boys had become friends.

His journey then continued again, his resolve being reborn thanks to Lea and Isa. He decides to put his search for Aqua and Terra on hold and goes out to make some friends in new worlds so he can see what friendship is again.

The first stop he makes is at Disney Town. While the place isn’t heavily under the threat of the Unversed, he seems to arrive there at a time known as the Dream Festival, which has a lot of events going on in the world. But the real prize is the Million Dreams Award that goes to the towns most helpful citizen. As it turns out, the winner is a three way tie between Ventus, Terra and Aqua.

His next stop is the world of Olympus Coliseum, a world for Hercules. He meets two boys about his age, by the names of Zack and Hercules, and learns that Hercules has been training to be a hero under the great teacher Philotetes for a while. Zack had come into the picture wanting to train too, and both boys were given an ultimatum. Whoever won in the coliseum games, would be able to train to be a hero. However, the boys do compete, and frankly, neither boy actually wins. But Ventus feels close to these boys very quickly and feels a real bond to grow between himself and them. Feeling better, he concludes that he, Aqua and Terra will patch things up and they’ll all be okay.

The next world on the list is Deep Space, a world based on Lilo and Stitch. He doesn’t come to this world on purpose, however. He winds up chasing a giant Unversed to thus world instead. While there, he meets Experiment 626 which has escaped from his confinement, and Ven learns that this little alien has also made friends with Terra and Aqua. The two of them then team up and defeat the massive Unversed that Ven had witnessed, only to get captured and arrested. The two of then escape, Ven by utilizing his Keyblade, and 626 by using an escape pod that looks oddly like a red car.

Neverland was his next stop, and here, Ventus found King Mickey’s star shard, discovering that the other had arrived here. However, Captain Hook swept in and tried to not only steal the star shard, but Tinker Bell as well. Along with Peter Pan, Ventus and he teamed up and defeated Captain Hook and saved Tinker Bell and retrieved the star shard. After all was said and done, Peter, Ven and the Lost Boys decided to start placing their own personal treasures within a chest. And Ven just so happened to put in the wooden keyblade that he had received from Terra, declaring that even better memories would come soon between them. Then finally, as he obtains the star shard, the device activates, and Ventus is swept away with it.

His destination was that if the Mysterious Tower, where is he greeted by Donald and Goofy who immediately bring Ventus to meet master Yen Sid. It becomes news to Ventus to learn that Mickey has gone missing and when Yen Side uses his own magic to discover where Mickey has disappeared to, they discover that he is in danger. Ven, knowing that Mickey is his friend, offers to go after him.

But as Ventus arrives at the Keyblade Graveyard to look for Mickey, he finds that Master Xehanort is waiting for him. Ventus then learns about his fate about needing to form the x-Blade, and that this is the real reason why he was not allowed to leave home and why everyone kept trying to force the boy to return, as no one wants the x-Blade’s creation. He leaves, only to return to the Land of Departure, finally, to speak with Master Eraqus about whether or not this is true. Must to his displeasure, Eraqus aims to try and destroy Ventus, knowing exactly what Xehanort is planning. However, this does not happen as Terra arrives and saves Ventus by sending him off to another world—Destiny Islands. As he arrives there, Ventus encounters Vanitas once again, who explains to Ven that Xehanort split the two parts of Ventus’s heart in half to create both of them. Ventus’s memories begin to return to him, and Vanitas decides to give Ventus a reason to fight, by stating that he’s going to kill and destroy Terra and Aqua, and if he wants to stop this, to meet him at the Keyblade Graveyard. There is nothing else Ventus can do, so he returns to the Keyblade Grave Yard once again.

As he arrives there, he meets up with both of his friends and explains to them just about who he is and how he’s terrified of what he might have to do. And as his friends, he asks them both to destroy him in the even he has to fight Vanitas. Both friends try and reassure Ventus that things will be alright, and the gesture is unnecessary, but they don’t even get to answer him as Master Xehanort and Vanitas arrive. A fight commences between the three Keybladers, Xehanort and Vanitas, and Ventus becomes frozen by Xehanort and dropped off a cliff.

Aqua manages to catch him in time, only to get thrust into a battle with someone else, as that battle ends, Vanitas jumps down and knocks Aqua out. Ventus, using all the strength he can manages to break free from his freezing and challenges Vanitas. This battle dies down somewhat quickly and Ventus learns from him that all the Unversed came from his negativity. Ven gets restrained with several Unversed and Vanitas attempts to merge with Ventus and take over his body. Between the two of them, a sort of metaphysical battle occurs between them both of them, involving an incomplete x-Blade in Vanitas’s possession. Vanitas attempts to get Ventus to rejoin with him to finish completing it, but Ven refuses and aims to destroy the weapon, even if it means that he has to destroy his own heart. On the outside, Vanitas has taken control of Ventus’s body and has challenged Aqua and Mickey to a battle, and upon defeat externally, and Ventus’s victory against Vanitas inside his mind, Ventus is left in a comatose state, with his heart sleeping.

After this battle, Aqua brings Ventus back to the now mostly-destroyed Land of Departure, and locks the world away, turning it into Castle Oblivion, where she leaves Ventus’s sleeping body. But while the boy slept, another boy called out to him, asking if he was sad. Not knowing who it was, Ventus’s subsconsious heart followed the voice and the light that came with it, to the Dive to the Heart once again, and found a very young Sora, who offered him a place to recover in his own heart.

Personality: Ventus is a cheerful, but somewhat naïve boy. He’s aligned with the other Keyblade wielders in the fight to maintain the balance between light and darkness, although he is not an actual Keyblade Master. He is incredibly devoted to his friends, however this is somewhat of a downfall for him. Because of his constant devotion and loyalty towards those he cares about, he is very easily deceived and it is simple to fool him. But also very quick to anger. It is very common for Ventus to become frustrated and angry if someone were to insult his friends. He shows so with Terra when he's told that he is straying away from him and Aqua, and goes on to the defensive quickly. Ventus is easily blinded by his belief that his friends are truly perfect people, and doesn't seem to understand that his friends are human, and make mistakes, just like him. But it's all a part of his having a heart made almost solely of light. He has it in him to believe that all people are inherently good, and finds it difficult to believe that there are bad people in the worlds. So when he is exposed to elements proving his beliefs wrong, and that there is darkness everywhere, he has a very hard time accepting it.

But even with all of that, Ventus is friendly. He tries to make friends with all the people he meets, even the less than favorable types in his life. He doesn't like to judge people negatively from his first impression of them. Ventus seems to be the type to want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and believe they're a kind person. And when it proves him wrong, disappointment seems to be a hard pill for him to swallow. But this all ties in with just how naive he is. In a way, it's probably for the best that he doesn't have much exposure to unkind people, since after all, ignorance is bliss. And in Ventus's case, ignorance also could have saved him a lot of worry and frustration. Inherently, Ventus is an optimist. He truly has high hopes for a bright future, taking into consideration that as long as he and his friends stand by one another, they can all reach their dreams.

But when Ven gets disappointed, he takes it hard. Very hard. He's fallen deep, deep into a despair that doesn't suit him, and he's spent long periods dwelling on mistakes and things he has no power to fix. And although the spurts of disappointment are brief, they're harsh, and he really takes it out on himself, usually feeling as if he wasn't good enough to help his friends. Additionally, he gets into the same sort of mood when he gets angry, which is not often. But his anger is passionate, and usually with good reason, since the only real reason he's shown anger in the past has been in regards to the safety of his friends.

And finally, Ventus is sacrificial and in some way...selfless. While his chasing after Aqua and Terra came across as his own needy goal of not letting his friends abandon him, it all throws back to his relentless optimism. Ventus, at least at the end of the game, has come to understand what sort of significance he has on the worlds, and has come to accept that if he doesn't allow himself to be destroyed, it could spell disaster. Even though he longs for a future where he and his friends are happy, and nothing could hurt them, he knows that if he ever wants the rest of the worlds to know the happiness that he has experienced with his friends, then it means that he needs to be gone, so that others may live.

Powers: To put it simply, Ventus is the first Keyblade wielder positioned between light and darkness, having come and faced obstacles before Sora, Roxas and Xion together. His heart has been split between himself, and Vanitas. Most importantly, he is one of two figures needed to forge the χ-blade, and bring about a new Keyblade War, the other piece being Vanitas himself. For this to actually feasibly happen, he and Vanitas literally would need to fuse back together, re-bonding a heart that had once been split in two.

That aside, Ventus is the most agile and the quickest of the three Keyblade Wielders of Birth by Sleep, and is quite skilled with wind and light based attacks. While he isn’t the strongest of all the Keyblade users, he does make up for it in the fact he’s very quick and skilled at making combo style attacks. He also is skilled at using other elemental based attacks, as well, although he is best with wind and light.

In regards to his skill cards:
-Salvation: Ventus performs a spinning attack and sends columns of light out all around him to attack anything nearby.
-Curaga: Healing spell used to recover a hefty amount of health.
-Tornado: Using his keyblade for leverage, Ventus creates a large tornado and attacks anything that comes near him with a powerful gust of wind.
-Ars Arcanum: With some aerial assistance, Ventus is able to leap from the earth up into the sky and rocket downwards, repeatedly striking enemies multiple times with increasingly stronger attacks.
-Mine Square: Ventus creates a small square of mines around him that detonate when something other than himself steps on them.
-Faith: Both a combination and support skill. Ventus lets out powerful columns of light out around him to attack enemies, while healing himself.
-Tornado Strike: Ventus channels strong wind around his Keyblade and is able to use the wind in order to knock back enemies when he swings his weapon towards them, using the wind created to his advantage.
-Stratosphere: Ventus hurls himself into the air many times, high above the battleground and rockets back down to attack before shooting back up to repeat the process several times before crash landing and emitting powerful rays of light.

Additionally, each of the three main Keyblade users in Birth By Sleep all come with additional skill sets, known as command styles. Ventus uses a standard set known as Fever Pitch/Cyclone/Wingblade. In each of these, Ventus's Keyblade becomes progressively more powerful.

With Fever Pitch, his speed and agility increases greatly while he attacks, and to finish an combo with it, he releases five columns of light at his enemies.
With Cyclone (which is reached once Fever Pitch maxes out in Ventus's Command Gauge), this utilizes more of his proficiency with wind magic. His swings with his keyblade are more like spin attacks, and to finish a combo with Cyclone, he spins rapidly, creating a self contained tornado.
Finally with Wingblade (third stage in Ventus's command gauge), Ventus seems to trade out his Keyblade for six swords made of total light, that float behind him. He's able to attack many enemies at once when this happens, and uses a number of very powerful light based attacks.

Items:
-His Lost Memory Keyblade
-Skill Cards (See abilities section for information on each): Salvation, Curaga, Tornado, Ars Arcanum, Mine Square, Faith, Tornado Strike, Wind Raid
-A green, star shaped Way Finder
-A Disney Town pass
-Attack and Magic recipes
-Some strange Kingdom Hearts-verse candies
-Varying crystals from the Kingdom Hearts verse used in alchemizing weapons.
-A few potions
Instrument: Classical violin, with green around the edges.

SAMPLES

Bracket Sample


[He really should have known by this point that this sort of thing was not a good idea. There is nothing not sketchy about a strange man in a clock tower, willing to over look Ventus's panicking demeanor, and offer him answers. And information.]

I want your word, that you can help me out. Aqua and Terra, they're...

[His brows furrowed, and his normally soft, boyish demeanor slipped into that of a mature young man who knew what he wanted, and who was not going to back down.]

They're everything to me. And I need to know for sure that they're safe!

[He placed a hand to his heart, fingers clenching the fabric of his shirt slowly, defiance overcoming his face as he looked at the man, before his hand slipped into his pocket, pulling out the green and silver wayfinder that Aqua had given him before her and Terra's Mark of Mastery exam. His fingers clenched around the charm tightly.]

They're all I have, they're the ones who stood by me, and all the stupid stuff I've done! And--

[Ventus catches himself, noticing that his volume has increased a fair bit.]

I need to know that they're safe.

Prose Sample

A boy with a sunny expression seems to appear, sleeping, as if far away in another world. His eyes are closed, but twitching, as if he's about to snap out of a very vivid dream. He looks rather comfortable, slouched up against the wall of the clock tower, hands folded and slumped between his legs, bent at the knee and pulled up into a crouching sort of seat. His lips quirk a bit, sounds coming from him as he murmurs in his slumber. Some of the sounds become more audible, the occasional word slipping free before his eyes slowly and blearily open. He squints, raising a hand to block out any of the light shining down on him. And then it strikes him. Absolute shock slips on to his face, his eyes growing wide and concerned. He jumps to his feet, a large key producing itself within his hands. His heard turns about in every which direction, his lips pulling themselves into a frown as that shock in his eyes turns to anger and mild fear.

"Aqua! Terra!" he shouts out, alerting the bustling people of the town to his presence. The boy turns around, seeming to startle some of the locals with the giant key he holds tight in his hands. But as his mind seems to settle, and his heart stops racing, he lowers the weapon, watching as it magically vanishes into thin air. He genuinely looks nervous.

Last Ventus knew, he was inside of his own heart, the only other person inside with him was Vanitas. The two of them had been locked in such a powerful sort of combat that he'd lost track of time. And apparently space. Somewhere during that battle, he'd come to another world. A world that looked so...normal. So safe.

Almost peaceful.

He'd settled down at this point, he was no longer panicking. Although...His heart sank.

Just as he had finally reunited with his two best friends, two friends whom he was willing to sacrifice his own life for, they were gone. Where had they fled off to? Did they make it out alive? What about Master Xehanort? What had become of them all?

It all suddenly felt so familiar to him. It was like running away from home all over again. But this time...

He didn't want it.

CHARACTER INFO
Name: Gamzee Makara
Series: Homestuck; That webcomic with people with candy corn on their head.
Canon Point: During the Shoosh-pap scene, right before the pacifying calms him down and he hugs Karkat. Page 5992, Gamzee's last raging-honk before Karkat calms him down.
Reference: honk :o)
Age: 6 solar sweeps, so 13 years of age. Being that he's a troll and comes from a society where violence and death is rampant and the children are raised by wild animals, he's more mature than most children. So while he's still physically 13 years old, he's got some wisdom all up in his head. As well as survival techniques on how to survive when your parents basically abandon you.
Gender: He's a guy :U

Suitability:
Gamzee would probably be rather accepting and willing to participate in having sex once he settles down in the game. On Alternia, where the trolls life, there is a need for being willing to find sexual partners, or there's a very high chance of death. Trolls have four different types of relationships, two of which are sexual. In regards to these two sexual quadrants (one focused on redrom, more specifically love, the other one focused on blackrom, specifically for hate), trolls know from a young age that they need to find these two partners in preparation for the day they are met by Imperial Drones. When the drones arrive, it means that genetic material needs to be offered from the two participants. Failure to do so results in death. Needless to say, sex is pretty much common knowledge and it's not exactly considered to be private or taboo, since it's such an important part of their lives.

Gamzee himself while early in the canon showed very little interest in forming quadrants with anyone. It wasn't until later on until the trolls arrived in the meteor that he started to take an interest in it. Up until that point the only person he'd seemed to show any romantic interest in was Tavros, who he'd solicited for "sloppy makeouts." There was an instance of Gamzee sliding into surprising black feelings for Dave Strider, after the kid upset the troll.

However, given his canon point, Gamzee's views on relationships are slightly...skewed. After he went on a murderous rampage, he had a lot of head scrambled up. He just killed two people, and stumbled across the body of the kid he was in love with. Somehow he had found it to be a good idea to remove the kid's head and try and kiss him (most likely in an attempt to revive him.) Gamzee still hasn't really recovered from this, and chances are, his mental instability hasn't totally evened out yet. But with some help and a little time, he'll probably be past this.

But Gamzee had always found other things to preoccupy himself with and sex for the most part had always been an afterthought for him. He never really ever showed much interest in it. However, he still knew enough about it to know that it was something that was going to happen one day whether he wanted it to or not. For the most part, since he's always been relaxed, chances are he didn't worry about finding anyone. Given that he would be entering into an environment, he wouldn't really be upset about having to have sex with anyone, and he'd probably be really relaxed over it, and take his time a bit in finding someone he'd be interested in giving that part of himself to. Initially, he would probably try and hint to Tavros or someone else that he was close with in order to sleep with them, but he wouldn't push matters if he was rejected.

Appearance: This is him normally.

This is roughly what he'll look like after being aged up. He'll get some height, some more muscle built on to him. A little bit more...badass, if you will.

Normally, Gamzee seems to be one of the taller trolls (despite that the creator has jokingly said he's one of the shortest in canon. He has actually stated that he's left character height, weight, etc. up to the individual), and it would only continue to remain so after being aged up. Normally, I see Gamzee as being about 5'9" or so. Since he's canonly still so young, he still has a bit of growing to do. I think once he's aged up, he'll gain a few more inches, reaching about 6'2" or so. In addition, he's always seemed to be relatively skinny, and even though that would remain the same, but he wouldn't be so much skinny, as he would be lean. He'd have a fair bit of muscle collected on him, primarily around his abdomen and biceps, since he seems to come from a bloodline that naturally has a fair bit of frequent muscle growth on them. His hair for the most part will mostly remain the same, but it might just be a little longer. One of the major differences with him will be his eyes. When trolls get older, their eyes will fill up with their blood color. Generally, trolls irises are black, like their pupils, but their irises become their blood color when they reach maturity. So Gamzee's eyes will be pleasantly purple when he arrives.
Background: Same link! But adding stuff!

Given that Gamzee is in the process of being calmed down by Karkat, and the actual process of getting hugged and forming a moiraillegiance with the other troll has yet to actually finish, Gamzee is going to wind up being incredibly frustrated, confused, and probably somewhat scared due to him knowing that he was JUST being consoled by his friend--and then it stopped. So, while Gamzee is going to be gradually calming down on his own, he's going to be really shaky and nervous, as well as still likely to be angry, just because the Karkat-Vantas-brand-shoosh-pap never actually finished itself.

Personality: Gamzee originally came into Homestuck as a calm, relaxed and rather spiritual kid, with not much going for him. He was living on his own for the most part, with only the support of a handful of friends whom he communicated with through the internet. While he appears to be a Juggalo—one of the followers of the band Insane Clown Posse- he isn’t exactly like one of those followers exactly, even though, in some odd way, Gamzee has a habit of referencing the subculture almost constantly. Mainly, it comes across in the form of him stating that almost everything around him is a “motherfucking miracle.”

And even though the kid seems to appear as if he’s some clown obsessed, twisted little kid, he’s really far from it. He spends most of his time totally tripped out from consuming pies made out of the illicit drug that is sopor slime. He knows he really shouldn’t eat the stuff, but hey, he sees a bunch of cool colors, so what’s the harm in it, right? Gamzee for the most part is a positive character, seeming to be very friendly towards the others in the series. Even though their culture focuses on living in a caste system, and Gamzee who is placed near the top being expected to adhere to his social superiority, doesn’t seem to meld into the expected criteria of someone near the top of the social order. He is certainly one of the types of characters who doesn’t appear to harbor any negative feelings towards anyone he knows, and comes across as being a friend and therapist to those close to him. However, as a friend, he tends to give some very strange, and often vague advice that his friends can’t follow.

For the most part, Gamzee seems to be very nonchalant and uncaring about many of the troubles that might surface in his life. He’s constantly finding other things to focus on, and other things that are far more important to keep himself busy with. Usually he’s more focused on busying himself with staring off into space, or looking at colors, or consuming pies, or trying to ride his one wheeled device (unicycle) or just chillaxing in a pile. He’s cool with talking to just about anyone, and the idea of his friends contacting him is actually kind of exciting for the kid. Gamzee’s actually rather enthusiastic about having friends, and might be a little too excited over the opportunity to do things with them. He’s also come to understand that his zoning out tends to happen rather frequently, and often apologizes for it. He’s shown to be incredibly fond of having rap-offs with his best bros (namely Tavros), and loves to just kick it, even though the both of them are pretty terrible.

Even though Gamzee has had to deal with other trolls basically telling him that he’s a disgrace, and annoying, he’s actually very okay with this. He knows that he can’t make everyone happy all the time, but he’d like to try his best to make everyone just be bros together. He tries his best anyways, and doesn’t really enjoy making enemies with others at all, he’d rather just make others happy, such as how he’s attempted to order Equius around at the others request. He’d really rather just be a supportive friend, and in his own strange way, he’s as good of a friend he can be to all the others. When Karkat witnessed Sollux getting killed, Gamzee just stepped in and made a point to tell Karkat that he didn’t need to worry, and that things would work out, stating that there was a “miracle” coming on. It’s his own brand of optimism, and he does what he can to make his friends feel better.

He likes to roll with whatever comes to him, and doesn’t seem to show any interest in conflict in any form. Gamzee doesn’t seem to care much at all that he belongs to a religious cult that others frown upon and assume he’s got some problems for being involved with. Even so, he also doesn’t seem to care that he’s almost totally clueless when it comes to most things. And frankly? Gamzee kind of lacks a lot of common sense. Come on, he seems to believe that standing on a unicycle constitutes as riding the damn thing. However, his lack of common sense could most likely be blamed on having a rather poor upbringing, since his lusus/parent/custodian was never around to really care about him. Gamzee does seem to have a very strong attachment to his lusus, even though he’s often been left alone and never got to see the creature often. Turns out, that even with his lusus being a less than fabulous parent figure to Gamzee, when the sea-goat actually passes away, Gamzee’s actually incredibly sad about it, but he’s the type that actually can accept that this sort of thing is natural, and there’s no going against it.

Overall, Gamzee is a very relaxed, very friendly, and very caring individual. Even if he doesn’t always make sense when it comes to all of this. He might not always make sense when he’s trying to be a good friend, since he is high out of his goddamn mind most of the time, but at least the sentiment is still there.

However, this is the old Gamzee.

When Gamzee becomes sober, things change.

When Gamzee’s supply of sopor slime runs out, he stops becoming distracted and oblivious. He starts to see the world for what it really is. This is pretty much to blame (for starters) on Dave Strider, who exposed Gamzee to Insane Clown Posse, and actually caused the troll to completely doubt his religion. He freaks out at Dave at one point, tearing him apart with a wall of indigo text, telling the kid how because of his need to taunt him with sending him ICP videos, he had his faith shattered.

Gamzee becomes very aware of who he is, and he becomes incredibly accepting of it. He starts to preach about how the slime he’s been eating all this time is poison and how it’s been rotting his brain, and how now that he’s off of the substance, he’s become understanding of what his goal in life is supposed to be. He starts to snap slightly, using instances of the “we” pronoun instead of “I”. Gamzee starts to rant on how he’s been denying his true calling in life, and how’s he’s supposed to take on a role as a “subjugglator”, which is a group of highblooded trolls in Alternian society responsible for “slaughtering the wicked ignorance”, which is a fancy way of saying, killing the people who deserve to be killed.

He starts to adopt a “higher than you” attitude, and starts to embrace his location in the Hemospectrum caste system, since he’s now figured out how his world works. Gamzee also starts to obsess over his religion again, basically claiming that he’s the two god-like figures of his religion, and that he’s always been his religious saviors. From there, his intentions become clear, as he announces that now that he has come to accept what he is—he’s going to kill anyone who opposes him. And he does so. When confronted by Equius at one point, he seems to completely forget any of the friend relations he had with the troll prior to the incident, and he uses his superiority on the Hemospectrum to assert himself, and when Equius refuses to listen to him, he quite literally ends Equius’s adventure by giving him an arrow to the knee. Yet, he doesn’t stop there. He manages to force Equius on the ground, and proceeds to snap the bow he used to fire the arrow in half, and strangles the troll to death with it—while smiling.

And it only gets worse.

When Nepeta witnesses this and attacks Gamzee for killing Equius, he simply just grabs her arm as she’s aiming to slash at him across the face with a pair of claws—and snaps her wrist. In doing so, he also takes her hand and drags it across his face, slashing his face open, all while laughing at her, before he approaches her, and beats her to death with a pair of clubs.

To put it more simply, once Gamzee pulls himself off of the sopor slime, he goes from being a friendly, optimistic and rather peaceful individual…to being a total nutcase. And that can really be attributed to three things. The first being that he had his faith in his religion crushed by Dave Strider, who simply just made fun of his beliefs. The second being that Vriska Serket had killed Tavros Nitram, the kid who Gamzee seemed to be harboring some sort of crush for. The third being that he had finally run out of the slime that made him calm, and helped him shut out the horrible things that happened all around him. With these three things, he’s basically broken down, and the only way he can cope with his struggles at this point, is to kill whatever stands in his way, and to embrace what runs in his blood line, by becoming a subjugglator.


IN GAME:
Upon arriving, Gamzee is going to be a complete wreck. The last thing to happen was he was freaking out at the troll he called his best bro, and having his raging ass settled down. And it was feeling wonderful, and he was starting to realize he needed to stop this crazy rampaging, and then Karkat said something weird, and he got mad again.

And then he was in the desert.

So, he's going to be a slight basket case. He's going to be totally lost and upset and very, very upset, and probably somewhat scared. So all of that residual rage from when he was going through the meteor, killing people, is now going to be directed at his frustration of being in a strange place with no idea how to settle himself down without his best friend there. It will be reluctant that he decides to actually fight for the Maharajah, but it will mostly be out of his need to see if somehow, miraculously, his best friend is there and maybe he can feel better. Gamzee's always been somewhat dependent on Karkat, so when he gets to see that he's there? He'll be a whole lot better, once he gets to be with his best bro.

Since Gamzee was pulled from this point, he's going to be stuck somewhere between absolutely furious all the time, and mellow and relaxed. He's been going through some crazy withdrawl since the sopor slime which usually dulled his mind had run out. Chances are, he's going to be looking for something that might take the edge off, without closing his mind again to what he has discovered is important about himself. In an odd sort of way, this will probably turn into some strange rehab stay-cation for Gamzee, as he's finally starting to get a sense of himself again. He'll still be a little confused for a while but chances are he'll really warm up to the place.

As for the sexual aspect of things, Gamzee won't be doing anything at first. He'll be a little too preoccupied by the following things: his bulge is no longer a tentacle. He no longer has a nook. And why does it dangle?
But after he gets used to it, Gamzee will probably be all about sex. If it makes him feel good, and makes the horrible things he hears in his head be quiet for a bit. Chances are, he's going to wind up not really sure what to do most of the time, but he'll gradually ease into things. But even in this respect, he's going to be rather content with the whole caste system. Even though he was very high on the hemospectrum caste in Homestuck, he never really lived like an elite, so even if he never moves out of the Das caste, he'd be alright with that, save for the desire to go home one day. That would be his only motivation to even really actively try and raise his rank.

Character Powers/Abilities/Skills: When Gamzee was first introduced into Homestuck, it would seem like the kid could do very little. He was always sitting around, eating pies made of a supposedly toxic substance which the species usually slept in. He’d be lazing about, worshiping the strange clown like gods of his religion, attempting to ride around on unicycles, and failing quite miserably at attempting to troll his friends and human counterparts.

He was capable of being a horrible freestyle rapper, dancing weirdly, playing with bike horns, sleeping, spacing out, looking at pretty colors, and well...aside for his ability to wield juggling clubs as weapons, he could do pretty much nothing. However, as the story progressed we’ve seen that Gamzee can do some relatively scary things.

We do know that Gamzee is incredibly violent, and a lot stronger than he looks. Gamzee’s God Tier title in the game of SGRUB is that of “Bard of Rage” and has it in his nature to be incredibly powerful. It’s been noted that in the troll’s fight against the Black King during the game, Gamzee did more damage to their enemy than anyone else. This is also shown when Gamzee shoots Equius with a bow and then strangles the other with it. He’s proficient with several weapons in the series, as it’s shown that in his Strifedeck, when he goes to kill Nepeta, there are multiple weapons, and it has changed from just Clubkind, to Jokerkind.

However, while the extent to which Gamzee has used this is unclear…Gamzee does know how to manipulate dreams. He has been shown to go into the dreams of others and place new things in them, or remove other things. He can play around with the subconscious workings of someone’s dreams until they no longer represent a dream, but are more so that of a nightmare than anything else.

In addition, even though Gamzee’s title as Bard of Rage has been known to be incredibly powerful, we have yet to really see what he can do with that title since he has yet to realize what this title does for his abilities.

RE: Strifekind/Weapon Carrying: Generally in Sgrub/Sburb, all the characters in Homestuck have something known as a Sylladex/Memory Modus, where they all keep their personal items. None of the characters within the series really understand exactly how they work, they just know that if you put something into one of these things, you can retrieve it later. As for strife decks, these are an aspect of their Sylladex where they can place weapons in order for them to retrieve them prior to a fight breaking out. In Gamzee's situation, his strife deck went from being Clubkind, where he could only use a pair of weaponized juggling clubs, to that of Jokerkind. From what has been revealed, Jokerkind allows Gamzee to have access to the weapons of the other players of Sgrub/Sburb (although only a few of them have been revealed, those being Clubkind, Lancekind, Whipkind, Hammerkind, Bowkind. However, he's only been shown to use Clubkind, Bowkind and Hammerkind). So, he's been able to draw out these weapons from the deck. Very literally, using a strife deck is very much like drawing guns from holsters, or a sword from its sheath. While Gamzee does have access canonly to all of these weapons, I'd be completely understanding if it would be preferred if he only had access to his default weapons of Clubkind.

Third Person Sample:

No. No. No. This was not good. No, it wasn't good. Not at all. No, he couldn't handle this. The sand. The sun--oh jesus fuck. The sun. It hurt. He could already feel the burns on his flesh as he felt the sun singe him. This. This was why trolls hid from their sun. It was blinding. Bright. And it was not making the pounding in Gamzee's head--oh, god the pounding--cease any more. He wasn't sure why he was going along with this. He wasn't sure why he wasn't just trying to kill whoever this fucker was that had gotten him. Oh...right. He was coming down. And he felt...weaker?

Karkat. Where the fuck was Karkat. Gamzee hoped that whoever this guy was could tell he was on edge. Uneasy. Unhappy. He felt himself shudder, the voices that he was so sure that Karkat had settled down for him, creeping up to the surface. He had to make himself quiet down, as he tried to get settled into this new world. This new house. At least he was safe. Safe. Yeah. No. He didn't feel safe at all. He was alone. He was angry. Everything was so fucking wrong. So very fucking wrong. The last he remembered...he'd just killed those unjust, horrible, lying motherfuckers. And then, Kanaya was all up and beating his bulge into submission. And then he was all motherfucking falling into nothing. And then. And motherfucking then.

He attacked Karkat. He remembered that rage. That wonderful. Glorious. Perfect rage. That need to deal with a mutant motherfucker. To make him learn his motherfucking place. Gamzee's lips quirked into a smile. And now he was all older and he was sure as fuck he was stronger too. And now he could actually make Karkat pay. And then his lips fell into a frown, and the troll released a pathetic little grunt. Why did he want to do this to his best bro? Why would he do that? Why...

Gamzee shuddered again. Karkat had been trying to bring all this motherfucking rage under control. And he needed that.

He wanted these fucking whimsies to silence themselves.
Go back to all those motherfucking smiles.

He sat on the floor of this room that he'd been assigned, trying to keep himself calm, reaching up and awkwardly stroking his cheek, trying to mimic the gesture Karkat had been doing to him before the universe chose to swipe Gamzee up into its fingers and drop him somewhere else. He shook a little bit, trying to relax, trying to embrace the effect of his fingers, hoping psychosomatically they might bring him back down to earth. Alternia. Whatever.

He had to reason with himself. He had to take a moment to get his motherfucking understand on. To open his motherfucking eyes, take everything in. To absorb all these motherfucking bits of fear and anger that he had all building up within his motherfucking head and in his motherfucking chest.

Gamzee tried to close his eyes and pretend that his hand touching his cheek belonged to his best bro, and that everything was going to be alright for him. He just sighed softly once he concluded that the self-inflicted comfort wasn't working. His eyes focused in on the room, examining the features, trying to find out if the layout was acceptable. It was the bare minimum for him, but he could deal with it, he supposed. His entire life, he'd been of a higher blood caste, so he was used to a slight semblance of luxury. It wasn't that he wasn't unhappy with the set up. He didn't expect to really need much here. He'd like a nice pile of horns, sure, but if he couldn't get it? He wouldn't argue the matter. But fuck, something comforting would have been great right now. He'd love nothing more than to sink into a recuperacoon and just mellow out, ignoring the world.

But nothing. There was nothing of comfort here for him. There was no slime. No pies. No Karkat. No friends. No horns. Or one wheeled devices. Or husktops. Or anything that reminded him of home. Heh. Home? He hadn't been home in a long time. Funny how he'd started to refer to the meteor as home. It wasn't so bad, the meteor that is. He had friends there. He always had someone to talk to. He could sit with Karkat and talk about shit the other troll gave zero fucks about. Or he could chill out on his horn pile and charge Sollux and Feferi a couple hundred boonies to chillax too. (Well...Only Sollux now that he thought about it.) Or he could always pal around with Equius--

Oh. Wait. No. He couldn't.

Well, there was always Nepeta she was always--wait.

No, he couldn't do that either.

And it was as he realized that he couldn't at all, that things started to crush him. Fuck man.

What crushed him wasn't so much that he had killed someone. Two someone's in fact. However that really did break him. He'd taken lives and there was no way he could bring them back. But what crushed him, was how quickly his mind wandered and how soon it settled in on his thinkpan about just how much he'd lost, and how much doubt he was shrouded in. And it was all fucking Strider. It was that motherfucking Strider. That MOTHERFUCKING strider.

Gamzee felt the rage he'd been so desperately trying to quell start to surface again. He covered his face with his hands, claws pressing into his forehead and cheeks. His lips pulled back into a fucking snarl as he shuddered, suppressing the need to scream. No. To roar. It was all because of dave MOTHERFUCKING strider that so much was lost. Gamzee had lost any sort of hope he had in a peaceful, fear free, and an enjoyable world. There was no carnival anymore. It was shut down. Closed. The rides were rusting from lack of usage. Any of the original carnies were long gone, save for the one or two broken fellows who lived in the trailer on the outskirts of the park, who seldom peeked out, only interested in the outside world if there were trespassers. The old carousel slowly creaked as old gears turned as the wind blew past it. And the old ferris wheel, did much the same thing, slowly rocking as the entire park lay forgotten by the former attendees who had once loved it so. And there Gamzee was. Standing on the other side of the fence, fingers tightly clenched around the rusting bars of the iron gates. There he was, looking in on the carnival he had been so devoted to for his entire life. There he was, realizing that the dreams he had for this magical place, was all just a fucking lie. A fantasy.

Bullshit.

He was trying to put this nauseating emptiness he was sinking into to the far recesses of his mind. He was trying to forget the sickness and the harshness he felt towards the universe. As far as he thought, the universe deserved to be destroyed if it was telling such a like to Gamzee. What a motherfucking joke.

He needed comfort. And the only thing that sounded even remotely nice to him right about now was Karkat. Was Karkat even here? He didn't know. He needed to see him. Talk to him. Get past this remaining hateful pressure that was all motherfucking consuming his pan, like a motherfucking cloud blocking out the sun. Well, not the sun in his case, but the moons. Whatever it was. It was all sorts of blocking out the only thing that made Gamzee's mood even out.

He examined the mirror he'd been give, almost grimacing at how primitive it felt in his hands. How every motherfucking thing here was primitive and how it didn't sit well with him.

But he looked at it, trying to bring his hands up to it to start writing.

He knew he couldn't do much. He was too far lost. Too confused. Too far gone right now to get much out.

So he made it brief.

"Bro," he said quietly to himself as he started to type the message out in his indigo courier font, finding comfort in that color and that font at the very least. "WHERE THE MOTHERFUCK" Gamzee shouts the next part aloud to himself, knowing he needed the satisfaction of screaming right then. "did you go?"

He knew that if on some horribly remote chance that Karkat was here (how very unlikely) that he'd recognize this. He'd recognize this.

Gamzee set the mirror down, gently as to not break the device. Sliding himself back against the wall, he looked upwards towards the ceiling. It was now time to play the waiting game. Hopefully he could hold out. Hopefully.

Character Information
Name: Jake English
Canon Origin/Series: Homestuck
School Year: 5
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Out of school living location: Liscannor, Ireland
Blood status: Pureblood, but raised as if he was muggle born.

Personality:
In HS Canon: Jake English is the embodiment of a kid with too much free time, a copious supply of firearms, and a private island all to himself. Because of this, Jake has been alone for much of his life, and is generally not well socialized. So, in turn, he has had to seek out friendships through the internet instead. Because he's only had friends through the internet, Jake is rather awkward, and probably would be very strange around his friends, if he ever met them in person. After all, the only actual exposure he's had to living creatures, has been through the animals on his island. But since Jake is so unaccustomed to social interaction with anyone, he's actually a very odd person in regards to conversation. He shows that he can be very easily embarrassed by some conversations, either by things his friends say, or things he says, since it doesn't always strike him immediately that he might have said something that could be considered vaguely humiliating. But since Jake is not used to normal conversation, he appears to be easily excitable or frustrated.

Jake has shown this, mostly in his conversations with his friends. Among the three of them, he shows that he is probably the most comfortable speaking to Jane (although, he does misinterpret a few things that she says). His lack of socialization is rather noticeable in the way he speaks over the Instant Messaging clients of the series, since the manner of which he speaks, appears to be somewhat dated. This could be due to his lack of interacting within his age group. But Jake commonly uses terms like "Egad" or "Dickens", similar to that of a figure from the early 20th century. But he does show to be striving to still blend in with his generation in his conversations, managing to use more modern vernacular, along with his own speaking quirks. His friends seem to be aware that Jake isn't the most socially normal of teenagers, and Jane even points out to Jake, saying that he is a "very strange and silly boy." To which, Jake seems to be entirely okay with. Moreso, he seems to be very easily flustered in conversations with his friends, when matters of personal relationships come up. Even though he seems to be most comfortable speaking to Jane, more than once in a conversation, has he used roleplaying bubbles to indicate that he's somewhat surprised by her comments, and his responses were either him "tugging at his collar" or "fumbling for a handkerchief to clear up his glasses". Both instances were preceded by comments that were seemingly innocent, and Jake misinterpreted them as being almost flirtatious gestures.

Speaking of his friends, it's rather clear that he values them, and their opinions. He's open to hearing from them, and hearing about their ideas, whether or not the ideas might be silly. He's receptive to any of the concepts that might be brought up to him by them, and doesn't brush off the things his friends say as jokes. When Roxy Lalonde told him about her theories on the Batterwitch trying to manipulate the four Alpha kids into participating in her evil plot, Jake didn't react in a way that would have pushed his friend away, in fact, he was actually very responsive to it, stating that he believed her. He seems to want to keep his friends close, so he does what he can to keep them close and not upset them. More often than not, he begins his conversations with friends, apologizing for bothering them. He doesn't seem to want to bother his friends, had they been doing something, and not come across as needy and troublesome to his friends. It's also rather obvious that he doesn't like to bother his friends for help, in his conversation with Dirk Strider and his Auto-Responder, as he constantly beats around the bush in trying to ask for more uranium. Jake's also shown that with his friends, if they start to irritate him, he starts to drop his dated vernacular, and starts to sound like a normal teenager. He isn't afraid to tell off his friends if they upset him, but he's still kind and almost playful as he gets upset, and if he gets pushed around by anyone he gets progressively more and more frustrated with them.

As for Jake's life, his seclusion seems to have made him somewhat numb to the idea of there being horrific monsters living on his island that could kill him. He's become rather used to going outside into dark, and dismal forests, and fighting off the various beasts that come his way. He's become somewhat used to their existence by the idea of going out into his island, and he doesn't show to be very affected by being put into danger. Also, his seclusion on the island is what brought him to being so socially awkward when it come to conversing with his friends. Instead of human beings while he was growing up, Jake was exposed to giant crabs, bull fairies, mergoats and centaurs. The lack of genuine human interaction replaced with "lusus" interaction, desensitized him somewhat to events that would probably lead to regular people being put on edge. He finds this to be normal.

However, even with his constant seclusion on the island and lack of exposure to human life, he shows to be very open minded about the rest of the world. This could be because of all the stories of his grandmother, and his correspondence with Jade. Through meeting her, he's surely learned to be accepting of all sorts of strange occurrences, such as paradox time travel, and transportalizing objects. He doesn't question all that much, and like he demonstrates with his friends, as being understanding of all of their ideas and stories, he expresses this as well in daily life, when it comes to the regular happenings of his day to day activities. Then again, it could also just be that he's absolutely oblivious and naive to what the world off his island is like.

Even though Jake seems to be very close with his friends, Jake also seems to be a very silly young man. Jane even has pointed this out him. Jake is quite often willing to make nonsensical declarations in conversation, and seems to be easily impressed and surprised by a number of things. He's somewhat playful, in that from time to time, he pushes the idea of him being a daring, adventurous young man in regards to social situations, when he's really rather different. He likes to think he's some cool kid, but he's a bit too silly and dorky to be taken seriously as a cool kid.

But Jake does convey, what he thinks, makes him a very cool person. But actually, they're still all very silly things. Some can be considered cool interests and hobbies, but most are just silly. Jake happens to be a fan of movies and comic books (however, he stands by his belief that comics do NOT make him a nerd). All movies, and there really has never been a movie that Jake hasn't liked. However, his favorite of all movies happen to be those with women of a blue complexion. After all, they are the most attractive women, in Jake's mind. Sure, movies are a normal interest, blue women--sure, everyone has their fetish. But there's more. Jake also has an obsession with skulls, thinking that there's a good one at the heart of any adventure. He has collections of them, and he can't really say what it is about them, but he certainly loves them. More than his love of movies and his love of skulls--Jake loves guns. He's got piles of them littering his room and his house in general, and he swears by them, even using two pistols in his strife deck

Canon Background: Take a gander right here!
Background (AU!Canon; HP): At first, Jake seemed like the kind of kid who arrived at Hogwarts with the complete identity of being a muggleborn idiot. But here's the real catcher.
Jake English--of Irish descent, actually--is a pureblood.
You see, Jake English was born to two lovely, pureblooded parents. His mother was incredibly skilled in herbology and astronomy, while his father excelled in duelling and the dark arts. His parents seemed to be a near perfect wizarding couple. Both purebloods, both skilled in fields that fitted their sex. Both excellent parents.
That is until Jake's mother discovered that her husband was a dark wizard and was planning on raising their son to hate anyone and everyone associated with muggles and adhere to pureblood supremacy. That was a bit of a problem.
So one night, Jake's mother took the baby and they both fled to her mothers home on the far west side of Ireland. It was when they arrived, that Jake's mother decided one thing, and saw to it that his grandmother would help with: in order to hide Jake from his father, he would be raised as a muggle. No doubt about it. Jake English, was not a wizard. He was an ordinary muggle.
So for many years, Jake lived with his mother and grandmother on a small ranch in western Ireland. He became a raging fan of action-adventure movies, as well as fantasy ones. Especially onces with wizards and spellcasters. Ones that his mother would look at, and tease Jake for believing in something so silly. But he couldn't help but dream his entire life that there was something amazing waiting out there for him.
He was often a troublemaker. Jake didn't have many friends in the small town in which they lived. Frequently, he would take one of their ranch's horses, and disappear in the middle of the night, only to return the next covered in dirt and bruises, stating that he was off having his own adventure.
And it was on these little adventures with him that he started to notice his magical ability. He was finding that he had a knack for dealing with plants. They seemed to grow when he went about examining them. That, and he was surprisingly capable at approaching wild animals and the like without them getting too scared.
That, and how horrible things seemed to happen all around him and yet he remained totally unscathed.
It was when Jake turned ten that things took their turn for the worst, and Jake got some answers. Shortly after his tenth birthday, Jake's mother was hit by a speeding car, and passed away from her injuries. And it was in her final instructions to her mother--that Jake get to learn all about what he is.
And Jake was estatic.
Within a week, Jake was burying himself in all the books his mother and grandmother had kept hidden from him all these years, and within a month, Jake was obsessed with magic. Particularly dark arts, and magical creatures. He was completely and utterly absorbed in the entire idea of magic and adventures that well, he felt like he was living in one of his movies.
So needless to say, when Jake got his Hogwarts letter, there was a bit of a struggle when it came to deciding if he was going to stay home with his movies or go to wizarding school. However, there wasn't much of a struggle and Jake quickly accepted and embraced his future in magic.
Since attending the school, Jake has become a bit of a rebel, sneaking out late at night, mixing "illicit" potions now and then, and dabbling in growing and collecting some things in the greenhouses that most adults might not be too thrilled with. But it's all part of his magical adventure as far as he's concerned.
How would your character fit in to each House?
Gryffindor: Jake's an adventurous, ballsy sort of kid who is likely to get into tough spots, but it's all for the sake of being a hero, and enjoying himsef. He's tough, but he's also friendly and optimistic, and eager to please others. Even though he's a rule breaker, he does it not for the sake of breaking rules, but rather for the chance to experience more. His willingness for adventure and open mindedness towards his friends is also one of his strong qualities.
Hufflepuff: He's rather dedicated to all of his friends and he's really likely to sacrifice himself to make sure his friends are doing alright. He's got a cheery and polite demeanor around others, even if he might not seem like he fully understands sometimes.He is INCREDIBLY loyal to people, especially when he becomes close to them, and he hates to be the type to leave someone hanging, but that doesn't mean he's okay with being a bother to someone.
Ravenclaw: He's a pretty clever kid, having been able to sneak out of his house when he was younger without anyone being the wise. He's been known for having a way with words, and outsmarting others from time to time. He's also very eloquent, having a rather old fashioned way of speaking. He's a smart kid, always tinkering with gadgets and has a love for building new things.
Slytherin: He's a bit of a brat, and has a fair bit of an attitude as well as an ego. He's more likely to snark at someone he doesn't like, using carefully chosen words, rather than get into a real fight with someone. He has a slight complex, thinking that he's pretty talented and incredibly likely to being a hero type, even though deep down, he's not that fantastic. He brags a fair bit, and seems to be a bit closed off to others--but moreso in the sense that he can be oblivious about something, or that he's taking a moment to have some personal Jake time. He's also a pureblood, so he does have the blood line going for him.

RP Samples:
Attention all third through seventh years!
Ive decided that for this weeks congregation for FAWKES (Future Adventuring Wizard Kin Enduring Strifes) we shall all be taking a little trip to a secret location!
Please keep it in mind that ive got to get some major approval from our senior staff!
But i can promise that it will be absolutely smashing!
Do try not to let word of this meeting reach the younger students.
Ive had to send out quite a number of owls to parents in order to get their signature stating that they allow their kids to venture out of the castle after hours!
As a second note i would like to advertise that im always searching for another dueling partner!
And not even just dueling either!
A nice wrestling match would be splendid!
With that being said dont let any of the staff know of this gathering!
Since dare i say we may be sticking out our necks a bit for this venture!

All my best,
J

Third Person Sample:
And like that, Jake's wand went flying from his hand, the wave of magic that had hit him in the stomach causing him to stumble back on the dueling platform. He'd fallen down, landing hard on his rear, grinning up at his opponent. He lifted an arm to rub at the side of his head. He was a little dizzy now from the hit, but he wouldn't let it stop him. His opponent stood over him and extended a hand. How nice! Jake reached out and grabbed the fellows hand, and hoisted himself back up to his feet.
"You really scuffed me up good, eh?" he said as he ventured back to grab his wand before going back to the platform's edge. "What you say to best three out of five, chap?" The partner declined, insisting that next time would be better, leaving Jake somewhat saddened by this, but nevertheless, he shrugged it off and leapt from the platform.
He'd come to really enjoy dueling, and he'd found himself to be one of the best in his year. And it was getting to be just a little dangerous for him to start dueling kids his own age, or younger for that matter. So Jake had decided to take the risk, dueling older students and the occassional teacher, just as a means of staying on top of it. He was hoping that he might get the opportunity to get a nice position one day, dueling for a living.
And now he was antsy. His dueling partner for the night had called it quits, and he was on his own. And he still had so much adrenaline building up. He needed to do something.
He had it.
Jake stuck his wand into his robes, and he scanned the area for a moment. No one around. Good.
He had the perfect plan.
He'd been hearing about the centaurs of the Forbidden Forest coming out on to school grounds this time at night. He'd always wanted to meet one. He'd always wanted to see if he might have the chance to, oh, you know. Befriend one.
It a was the ideal adventure for the night. Jake grinned and he turned towards the doors.
He had some scrums to get into. Whether they were with a centaur or not? Didn't matter.
Had adventures.

So, um. I figured I might want to throw something in here because of this being DW and all, and I'm moving here from LJ (like the rest of the world).

Um, I'm going to be posting a contact list on here, muse list, plurk account, other cool stuff too. So, I guess stay tuned?
