> Be the SHAMELESS ADVERTISER.

It is a Saturday, much like any other. However, you have come to share with the legions of INQUISITIVE ROLEPLAYERS the need to fill up the HOMESTUCK cast at the Livejournal community fondly named soul_campaign. You tell the ROLEPLAYERS that you would be more than happy to accomodate any questions they may have.

> Inquisitve Roleplayer: Inquire about the game and its particulars.

What is this? An advertisement for a COMM-BASED ROLEPLAY based on the popular anime and manga SOUL EATER? Well that could be interesting. There is, after all, a lot of potential for CHARACTER RELATIONS with the WEAPON AND MEISTER partnership system in play. And there is an OVERARCHING PLOT too! It seems to be MEDIUM PACED, just perfect for your needs.

But, you say, you want to run some PLAYER-DRIVEN PLOTS as well. You may be someone that likes to have lots of irons in the fire. If this is the case, you should type "> Be Vriska" right now (just kidding, she smells like musclebeast leavings.) In any case, you are in luck! Despite a game-wide plot that has to do with WITCHES and EVIL PEOPLE and COLLECTIN' SOULS there is plenty of room for WACKY SHENANIGANS.

All of the shenanigans.

> Shameless Advertiser: decide to skip to a less egregious font in order to more seductively attract passersby.

Sure, you'll do that. Whatever 'seductively attracting passersby' means.

We love trolls, and so do you!
The spin-off of the well-loved sequel.

WHO WE HAVE SO FAR:
JADE, ROSE
TAVROS, SOLLUX, KARKAT, NEPETA, KANAYA, GAMZEE

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
DAVE, JOHN
ARADIA, TEREZI, VRISKA, EQUIUS, and ERIDAN, and FEFERI as well as any and all CARAPACE and especially a JACK NOIR or any of the GUARDIANS. Basically: ANYONE WE DON'T HAVE!

DEETS?
Lovingly stolen from Doc's glorious ATP from a few months ago.

soul_campaign is a mid-sized, mid-paced comm-based game based in the world of Soul Eater. Characters are dragged from their worlds into this world and asked to fight in a war against some hot chicks called Witches who are totally evil and shit. Despite the war -- and the intense drama that it produces -- there is still room to kick back with, say, some rude elixir and get your zone on. Meaning, there is plenty of opportunity to socialise and build CR.

Unique to SC is the WEAPON-MEISTER system. Characters are either granted the power to transform into a kickass Weapon, or the power to wield said Weapon in battle as a Meister. Teaming up with a buddy and forming this bond will grant you the strength to fight the baddies and save the day! (Or, if you are the villainous type, there are less tangible ways to get down with your superbad self...) In any case, between partner-seekin', Witch-fightin', mission-completin', and the general day-to-day excitement of living in a city where the sun and moon grin down at you, faces and all, there is no lack of things to do and a generally delirious sicknasty time is to be had all around.

Reserves are currently OPEN and applications will be processed on DECEMBER 16th! Reserves can be CHALLENGED if you are feeling so bold, so go ahead, look around for awhile! We promise you'll like what you see.

Questions, comments, pleads to take down this wall of text? Leave them here and I will do my best to respond to them accordingly!

A lie is truth, until you recognize it as a lie.
To see the truth behind those lies is probably the right thing to do.
However, it may not necessarily bring happiness.

--

It's not hard at all to hole up on herself. After all, she'd seen it done before -- the slow removal of yourself from the world, keeping yourself away from everyone else as if they never existed. So Jade turned the corner of the barracks into her own solitary fortress, back pressed into the wall's intersection, knees pulled up to her chin. Her hands were still vaguely bloody -- from what, she didn't remember. But her dreams were filled with the stuff, blood pouring from the eyes and ears and bodies of loved ones, sending her screaming. One night, as she awoke from a nightmare of darkness, the metallic sound of laughter ringing in her ears, she realized that she'd been scratching at the floor.

So that's where the blood came from. It was hers.

To keep the nightmares away, she started listening to music. The station was filled with endless sources of the stuff, from techno to classical and everything in between. Jade had never been a music listener the way Dave had; her interest in it had been purely to connect herself with her friends, as they seemed to enjoy it as well. The exception being her bass -- Jade could play for hours on end, rhythms and melodies that she created herself. Traditional music, however, was beyond her grasp most times. But here, in the solace of her corner, she could listen to anything she wanted. It kept the voices out: Dave and Sollux, Terezi, another Dave, Xavier and Jin and all the people who wondered if she was safe. Closing her eyes, she was lost in sound of a different sort. She started with music from the 1400s, of which there seemed to be an abundance -- motets were interesting, she discovered, the discordant melodies of five chants being sung at once. As she worked her way forward, the music changed. It grew louder -- looking it up, Jade learned that it was the introduction of the piano and forte symbols, along with the increased sophistication of playable instruments. The page had so much information on the physics of the instrument that she listened to the 1700s on repeat for hours, eyes glued to the screen, bloody fingers brushing against her hair to keep it out of her face.

She couldn't sleep, though. Even the music -- Debussy now, and Schumann, Schubert, Brahms, Berlioz, Mendelssohn -- couldn't keep away the voice that told her things would be okay. It had been over a month now, and Jade still wouldn't sleep without a light on. The voice could get her -- it would tear her to pieces and kidnap her friends and wouldn't it be better anyway because she couldn't help them? More than once, thoughts ran through her mind -- if she had still been with her, she could have saved them. Robots weren't catching the disease. Just humans: pathetic, weak, useless--

Closing her eyes, she turned up the volume of Firebird Suite.

Fire.

Her firebird sat across the room, absorbed in his own thoughts. One of them, at least; Jade knew that they were all fire in their own ways, each Dave a little different in his execution but burning all the same. She watched him (the burning, soaring flames a mile high that kill with precision and leave new life in their path) flip through his wearable, looking down at her lunchtop when he glanced her way. He was mad at her, she thought. He wouldn't talk to her -- probably because she wouldn't let him, but Jade dismissed the idea quickly. The other one (the flame that's left to die but refuses to give up its embers, living on in the roots of the firepit) sat somewhere as well, but she hadn't seen him. The third (smoldering, sometimes, but if the heat was right, a wildfire) was in quarantine. Still sick. Not getting better.

Jade turned the music up louder, ignoring the protests of her ears.

Finally -- it doesn't take long at all, the way she's listening to music day and night -- she gets to 'modern' music, taking in the familiar tunes of ragtime and prohibition era like one might greet a familiar friend. Jade's knowledge stretched from the 1920s to the 1950s, her playlist for each decade spanning a much longer time than any had before. Familiar songs made her hum, lost in the words and trying to forget that other people sat around her. As the 1960s approached, her recognition grew more vague -- a few songs from the Beatles, and later, the Rolling Stones -- until she knew nothing at all, picking songs at random from a selection of top tunes on a sit called Billboard. This was Dave's area -- something she tried to forget -- and as she looked through the charts she attempted to pick the most vague sounding titles, a brief remembrance to the flames scattered across the station.

2009 approached.

Her fingers hesitated, looking at the list of hits and deciding, one by one, that these were wrong. None of these were songs from 2009 -- the year the world had ended for her, the year she'd ended up here, where it was who knows how many years in the future and she couldn't tell up from down. Finally, she knew why they were wrong. They weren't hers, the songs her friends had created and sent to her, the pieces she had written for them over the course of a sunny afternoon. The songs in her list were written for people who had nothing better to worry about than the lip gloss on their face and how many boys they would pick up. But…

She flipped her music to FreshJamz, looking at the numerous mixes and remixes stored within. These were her songs, the ones she remembered. And sometimes, she thought, they were the ones that Dave had written for her. The ones that Rose had lovingly critiqued, the ones that John thought were dumb but listened to anyway. These songs held memories that the others never would. As Jade hit play on the first selection (the last one Dave had sent to her, she remembered it as if it was her own breath), she pulled the hood of her jacket over her face and buried her head in her arms. The beat washed over her, a gentle tug on her memories, a permanent reminder of the way things were before everything went wrong.

For the first time in three days, Jade Harley let herself cry.

She wakes, and she doesn't understand. She doesn't understand why he's gone -- there's not even an indentation of his body in the sheets, no warmth where once another person had slept. She wakes, blearily staring at the space left so empty by her best friend, the boy who promised only the night before that he would never leave her. Jade isn't quite sure what to make of it, so she calls out for him.

"Dave? Are you there?"

She's uncertain (maybe he went to get breakfast, or to the bathroom, or maybe he just got tired of me after all) and flips the covers up, getting out of bed. She forgets her glasses -- the world's easier when it's a blur, it's easier to ignore the details and pretend things are okay -- and makes for the door. It's still closed. No one's been in and out. She leaves her room, marches across the hall directly and--

his stuff is gone.

There are birds now, birds sitting everywhere, and if Jade was in a better mood she would probably attempt to shoo them away because she knows Dave hates them. Or at least he pretends to. How did the crows get in, anyway? Oh -- the window, she assumes. He left the window open. But she has to settle with a guess, since her vision is eerily blurred and threatening to give way to tears.

He's gone.

He left her, and he's gone. And he might not come back. Or if he did, he might not remember. The idea that Dave would return and never remember what had gone on scares her the most. She thinks of all of their sleepovers, the day that she had told him about Bro, about his doomed self -- how he promised he wouldn't leave. But that promise is broken now, and she can't really do anything to mend it.

So she sits down in the middle of his apartment, surrounded by birds, and begins to cry.

jade tends to speak in a bright green color, which is also the same as her eyes!!!
she rarely ever uses punctuation except ellipses and exclamation points
and tends to put most thoughts on separate lines :)
oh, and she really likes smileys!!!!

Character Information ;
Name: Jade Harley
Name of Canon: Homestuck
Canon/AU/Other Game CR: Canon
Reference: here is a link to the MSPA Wiki summarizing Homestuck, and here is a link to a page on Jade herself.
Canon Point: In Act 5 Act 2, immediately after Jade and Jadesprite tumble down the hill: here.
Setting:
Homestuck is set on Earth, and it’s mostly like our regular everyday earth -- the same places and landmarks exist, and it’s assumed that everything else is the same as it was in April 2009.

Except for you know, meteors.

In fact, Jade and her friends weren’t actually born like normal humans - turns out, the video game that they play (SBURB) has had them in mind from the beginning. It’s not chance that they were born and raised to play. They were created within the game itself, using a process called ectobiology, and then sent back in time (on meteors!) to be raised by guardians (who were also sent back in time via meteor). Jade is the paradox daughter/granddaughter of Grandpa, an eccentric hunting fiend slash millionaire. She lives on an island alone (with the exception of her dog, Bec, and Grandpa -- he’s stuffed now) in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Her friends have nicknamed it Hellmurder Island - a tropical place close to Hawaii with a strange Frog Temple and a huge volcano. She’s no princess or fairytale hero - she’s actually a pretty normal girl, aside from the strange storage devices used in Homestuck called Sylladices and the fact that she can use rifles proficiently. Much like a computer, people in Homestuck can store information (or in this case, physical items) in card-form. These cards are then placed in the sylladex, which can be structured in any number of different forms, or modii. Jade uses several different kinds, all based on different children’s board games. They are the only kind in the series that aren’t in some way math-related. Currently, her sylladex is set to Pictionary, though it used to be set to Jenga and Memory.

Another thing that’s slightly different than earth is the distinct lack of outside communication between the four friends (Jade, Dave, Rose and John) and the rest of the world. It’s as if people simply don’t exist, unless they’re a guardian or someone online (such as the trolls). The four kids know each other only through pesterchum, an online instant messaging program. They don’t really have friends outside of their group. Their world is fairly small, partially because they’ve been chosen to play SBURB from the start. Their entire lives have been designed around the game.

Oh, and the world is destroyed by meteors. Didn’t I tell you that meteors were important?

As the kids start playing SBURB, meteors fall from the sky, destroying surrounding areas (and eventually, destroying all civilization on the planet). It was going to happen anyway, though the game certainly is to blame. In order to stay alive, the four kids are forced to play SBURB. It’s a narrow escape into the alternate reality that the game creates for the players. Each player gets their own separate land and title, tailored to what some could consider their destiny. It’s a challenge, to complete the quests set down in your land and become a person that’s true to the title. This is another distinction from Earth (what earth? it was destroyed when the meteors hit). Jade is the Witch of Space, residing in the Land of Frost and Frogs. The other three have unique worlds that the viewer has seen, but Jade has not been to any except her own currently.

The players' worlds surround the planet called Skaia, the chessboard planet in the center of the Incipisphere (or the universe that the game exists in). Skaia is the ultimate goal for players of SBURB - they are literally told to "build up to Skaia," that is they build their houses high enough up that they can leap through the final gate of the game and fight the Big, Bad Boss. The point of the game is to create another universe - and this universe is created only by the Witch of Space. Jade has a lot of things she has to do within the game to make this universe, though the kids' session was doomed from the start. As she looks for the ultimate frog that contains the universe, she is also building her house as high as it can go, while helping Dave to build his own house (as a server player, or the player that has limited control over another person's environment). This keeps them all extremely busy.

The players of SBURB also have another self, called their dreamself. Jade’s dreamself has been awake on the moon of Prospit for a very long time. Prospit is the moon closest to Skaia, big and golden -- the people that dream there are given access to visions of the future via clouds that float around Skaia. Jade uses these clouds to see into the future, until her dream self dies. The other moon, called Derse, is a purple moon that exists near the furthest ring, allowing the people that live there to listen to the whispers of the horrorterrors. Jade has never visited Derse (that we know of) and it’s said that the whispers are not really meant for Prospitian ears, so it’s probably just as well. If you would like a map of Prospit, Derse, and Skaia, you can look here. Sorry, it is supposed to look like it’s drawn by Jade.

Personality:
Jade is described in canon as “a very silly girl.” That is for the most part, true. Most of her time outside of Sburb is spent indulging in fun things, like talking to her friends online and playing her eclectic bass or her tangle buddies. She is happy, usually putting a positive outlook on things, and is very rarely exasperated. This is expressed in the way she types. There, exclamation points abound, as well as smiley faces. Rarely does she forgo these, even when she’s angry (in fact, she almost uses MORE exclamation points when she’s upset). Jade tries to be friendly and welcoming when she can, because she believes in the fact that niceness should be reciprocated. When people are nice to her (or when she believes they can be nice), she is friendly and sociable. However, when they are annoying and angry (read: Karkat), Jade can get testy and irritable as quickly as anyone else. She doesn’t like to dwell in unhappiness, though, so her general demeanor is one of a cheerfulnessl.

Jade is fairly naive. She grew up somewhat sheltered, living on an island with mainly her dog Becquerel for company, since her grandfather gained an appreciation for wanderlust and took off to explore the world. He was shot when Jade was young, leaving her alone to stuff him and take care of herself, except for Becquerel. Bec isn’t just a dog, but rather a guardian of Earth. He is omnipotent and very caring, but it still makes for a lonely childhood of sorts. Jade doesn’t seem upset by this. Her sense of the unfairness of life is small, and she tends to rely on her dreams and her dog rather than common sense. Jade also doesn’t understand popular culture references (except for Dave’s comics, which she reads religiously in a non-ironic way). She doesn’t always understand her friends’ jokes, but laughs anyway, as a good friend and supporter should. Don’t mistake her naivety for dim wits. Jade might overlook the grim details, but she is extremely intelligent. Her favorite things to do include dabbling in nuclear physics and gadgetry, of all things. She has used her time to her advantage, cultivating her talents. Jade has many unusual skills for a girl of thirteen, since she was taught by her grandfather at a young age to appreciate the thrill of the hunt and other various things, like science. While she may not be culturally in the know, Jade knows enough in her own fields to make up for that.

Jade has a problem with falling asleep in strange locations; this is frequently put down to a severe case of narcolepsy. It is debated that she might never actually fall asleep like a normal person, which is probably true -- Vriska put her to sleep when she was young, and kept forcing her to sleep at random intervals. She can’t control where she falls asleep; in canon, she almost seems to have a knack for falling asleep at the WORST times, like right after she’s transported into the medium and when she’s trying to sneak by her grandfather in the grand foyer. Jade presumably never knows that she’s fallen asleep (though when asked, her dream robot will admit that she probably is). People tend to make fun of her for this, but the only time this ever gets on her nerves is when it’s insults from the trolls, most of whom Jade detests. She is the only one of the kids to actually count all twelve trolls at first, and is presumably the one that they first made contact with (and the one that they contact the most, though these conversations aren’t always shown in pages). Jade may prefer optimism to anger, but that doesn’t make her immune. She is angry first and remorseful second -- her first reaction to people not doing what she thinks they should is impatience. She has a lot of things that she believes should happen, and when people butt heads with her it makes her a little perturbed. Karkat certainly got on her nerves long before the series started, causing Jade to block him on Pesterchum. Karkat finds a way to get around the block, much to Jade’s chagrin, and they continue their arguments. Her anger generally takes its form in a manner of ignoring whoever makes her mad, though she doesn’t often show true rage. When she does, it’s almost like a complete snap in personality. When Karkat and future!Karkat get into an argument in a chat (via freaky time shenanigans) Jade reverts to angry words and expletives, shocking the pair of them. This doesn’t happen often, but that’s probably a good thing; most people don’t expect it of her, since it’s so rare. She can curse like a sailor and smack people around with the most angry of them.

Since Jade has been awake on Prospit, the dream world closest to Skaia, for as long as she can remember, she often seems to be much of a dreamer. Because of her dream self, Jade has received visions of the future through Skaia’s clouds, telling her to do things that are important to her friends’ quests. When she wakes up from these dreams, she arranges her thoughts by tying pieces of multicolored string to her fingers, to help her to remember certain events. Most of her friends find her to be a little bit eerie and secretive, since she often knows things that they haven’t yet told her. Jade refuses to share anything more than is necessary with her friends about their futures, exclaiming that if she tells them, they will “mess it all up.” Despite that, she wishes all of her friends the best, becoming the main cheerleader of the group as the story progresses. As the last person to enter the medium, Jade is left out of the loop to some extent. Despite this, she doesn’t stop believing in her friends. She nudges them in the right directions, knowing that they’ll bring her up to speed eventually.

Abilities and Weaknesses:
• ~~Ability to see the future~~ (this used to be an ability, but since the destruction of Prospit and the death of her dreamself Jade is no longer able to do this. SHIT SUCKS.)
• SUPER AWESOME NINJA RIFLE SKILLS?! Jade is an extremely accurate sharpshooter, and carries a rifle with her at all times.
• Sylladex! It’s an ability because she can pick up items and carry them around, presumably even really large items depending on the modus. Her current sylladex requires her to draw the object to captchalogue things, but she has all sorts of different types to choose from. in Singularity she would be restricted to Pictionary modus, and cannot pick up humongous things like planets or ~~treasure~~ doomsday bombs because that would be silly.
• an uncanny knack for guessing things right on the first try! Jade is a master at Memory.
• The ability to use music in order to move plants/cause plants to grow. Presumably part of her role as the Witch of Space, Jade can move lilypads and grow flowers in a day using the awesome jams she plays on her eclectic bass. However, since her eclectic bass is gone, she can’t do this at the moment (or would be able to in the game). She is, however, still very good at gardening!
• Uncannily good at tinkering, as well as pretty much a genius. Jade studies nuclear physics and tinkers with objects to create snazzy new items like the lunchtop. However, she’s not a brain in anything else, really. Her smarts are limited to the things she really cares about. And don’t worry -- she may have made a super powerful robobunny, but she refuses to make anything that could seriously harm another person (like rockets or whatever).
• SHE CAN FLY. Uh. With the aid of her Iron Lass suit. It’s not really flying, but she has rockets in the soles of her shoes which is pretty awesome.
• Her Ectosooth Specs allow her to see anywhere in the Incipisphere at the current moment. if she focuses on one person. They are also a computer. In Sing this would obviously require player permission and Jade wouldn’t use them unless she absolutely had to.

• Temper. Jade has a pretty big one when everything’s said and done, and if she gets really angry then it’s probably best to get out of her way. She regrets it later. Usually. Her pride is pretty big too.
• Narcolepsy. Caused by Vriska but still a big problem, Jade’s pretty good at falling asleep anywhere and everywhere.
• I am pretty sure you should consider her extreme love of anthropomorphic fauna to be a weakness. Jade will absolutely refuse to hurt anyone, “anthropomorphically inclined or otherwise.” She doesn’t mind getting rid of imps, but if she were ever forced to hurt another person? Denied, go home. It’s not happening. Ever. She would rather get hurt than have another person get hurt.
• Jade is stubborn to a fault -- her ideas are important, and while she can be very nice and welcoming with her friends, she is definitely not a saint. She will argue her point, especially with people who argue back, like Karkat and Eridan.
• Refusal to talk to people who annoy her! She purposefully ignores Karkat and pretty much disses Eridan from the start of their conversation.
• EPIC HERO COMPLEX. Oh John, your dreamself is going to die? LET ME DIE IN YOUR PLACE. LIVE ON TO SAVE THE DAY. Jade will gladly die for any of her friends, no matter what the circumstances. It can often get her into trouble! She doesn’t mind, but her friends might.
• Jade is way too trusting. She likes to believe the best of people until proven otherwise, and really? That could get her in serious trouble. If people are nice to her, she’ll be nice to them, as long as they don’t send off any creeper vibes.

Inventory:
HER SYLLADEX, which contains....
• regular, trusty rifle!
• Dress of Eclectica (with Squiddle coat and shoes!)
• Iron Lass suit
• Dead Shuffle Dress
• The Duttle. It’s...creepy.
• Lunchtop (with pesterchum and everything, it’s her favorite computer AND her favorite lunchbox!)
• Junior Ectosooth Specs
• The pieces of Johnny 5

Appearance: Jade Harley looks pretty much like any normal teenager. She has long black hair (it curls on the floor when she sits down!), and is of an average height, though a little bit skinny from years living alone on an island with no super proper meals. She has horrendous eyesight, and always wears large, round glasses. She has two buckteeth, that stick out of her mouth slightly. And previously , she kept colorful bits of string around her fingers -- now, she has one string, a blue one. It’s on her index finger to remind her of what she needs to do with John. She might add more, if the situation called for it.

Log Sample:
There was tumbling, and then falling.

Jade could remember the moment before her house had collided with deep, unforgiving snow -- she had been yelled at by Jadesprite. Presumably, the house had snapped from the force that Jadesprite emitted, but Jade wasn’t really sure why it did that. Didn’t Bec live in it all those years? Why wasn’t it spriteproof? It seemed silly, but there hadn’t been time to talk. Suddenly, after a moment of weightlessness, she tumbled head over heels down what felt like a hill. Suits of armor and a wall went flying around her, until suddenly there was nothing. The ball had stopped (hopefully, she couldn’t be sure), and Jade was upside down in a pile of Grandpa’s stuff, struggling to free herself.

“Jadesprite?” Jade called for the girl - dog? - that she had created, and received only the sound of sobbing in response. Digging herself out of a pile of clutter, she flipped herself around--

and fell. It wasn’t something she had expected, though it was different than falling down the hill. This time, there was no armor to dodge. It was just falling, through space, and she screamed despite herself. Falling down a hill was one thing, but this...was frightening. Jade flailed, trying to find something to grab on to - where was the wall? Jadesprite? Her house? But there was nothing, until she landed on something sharp.

“Ow!” The girl rubbed the back of her head, looking around. This wasn’t LOFAF - far from it, there was no snow to be found, and not a single frog. “How did I get here...?”

The Character Survey of.....DOOOOOOM.

2011-02-27T05:50:42Z

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Jade is about 5'2" in height, short for a thirteen year old. However, she'll grow a little in later years (puberty has hit her kind of late). She's skinny and a little lanky, like her brother, but will fill out when she finally hits puberty.

2. How old is she?
Jade is thirteen years old. She thinks that she was born on December 1st, but in reality she was 'created' in an ectobiology chamber on April 13th, 2009 and sent back in time during the reckoning to her 'birthday.'

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
She carries herself well, but tends to slouch when sitting down (a bad habit caused by years of putting the keyboard in her lap).

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Jade is pretty fit! She runs around outside all the time, often wandering to her heart's content. She used to believe she had some sort of strange illness that caused her to go to sleep a lot of the time, but since arriving in Death City she no longer has that problem. Jade is nearsighted, and if you take away her glasses, can't see shit. Other than that, she has no outstanding problems of any sort.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Jade walks with purpose -- except when dreaming, where her dreamself tends to amble and float from place to place. She knows what she wants and moves toward it. But she has an awkward grace to her movements, a little clanky but always natural.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Jade, in the general sense, is really damn cute. She's slightly skinny for her age but definitely makes up for it with the fact that she's almost always got a smile on her face and has clear, green eyes that say she isn't really afraid of anything. However, getting her to accept the fact that she's pretty is a different manner. Jade doesn't see herself that way at all -- she's nothing like a stereotypical beauty queen, or like one of her Grandpa's beautiful women from the hair salon pictures. Sometimes she wonders why people would like her looks at all.

She does like her eyes, though.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
A humongous farmer's tan on her arms, face, and neck from sitting out in the sun for too long, but Jade doesn't really mind. Other than that, she's got moderately fair skin, with a relatively clear face in the way of acne. When she's stressed, she will get a few pimples here and there, but never large outbreaks. Her hands are scarred from years of taking care of guns and exploring the jungle, and she has a few curiously-shaped scars from where she's had to stitch herself up over the years.

In soul campaign she has acquired a three to four-inch, jagged scar. It's located on her back, between two of her lower ribs on the right side. This was caused by the fight with Vriska and Cheshire, when Jade was stabbed with a dagger.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Black hair, that is pretty tangled. Jade attempts to comb it out, but it's so thick and fluffy that sometimes she does a really poor job of it. As such, it's not uncommon to find a few twigs stuck in there from time to time, though she tends to get those out. She likes to look nice, but doesn't always value the high esteem of women's beauty. It's fairly straight, with a few natural waves, and is SUPER LONG. When she sits down, her hair coils on the ground.

9. What color are her eyes?
Jade's eyes, if Hussie's formspring is to be believed, is a shade of green akin to her typing color.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Two buckteeth! They are cute.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Her eyes -- she holds a lot of her anger and stress in her eyes, and when she's mad or upset she tends to get headaches.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Casual and, for the most part, varied and able to be used for both work and play. Jade likes all sorts of different colors -- reds, yellows, blues and greens all show up in her wardrobe from time to time. And she's not afraid to try out crazy combinations of clothing, either. Sometimes it looks a little bit like a closet has thrown up on her, but Jade likes it all the same.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
If it's not comfortable, Jade won't wear it -- she almost never wears her Iron Lass suit (unless the need arises), and rarely wears her three in the morning dress, either. All her clothing is made in her exact size (thank you, punch card alchemy!) and fits her really well. She likes more form-fitting clothes, but not skanky or anything. Just fitted enough that it looks nice.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
Definitely! What is a job when you're thirteen.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
SQUIDDLE UNDIES. Bright green, occasionally bright blue or maybe blue and green polka dots? She doesn't always wear undies with Squiddles, just sometimes. She enjoys patterns, too! However, when she's running around in her pajamas, she never wears underwear.

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
A slightly nasal voice, kind of high-pitched. She still sounds really adorable, though.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
Jade is loud, there's no way around it. She always seems very excited when she talks, but you can tell her emotions by the way she enunciates things or changes her tone. Mostly she speaks fast, sometimes too fast for people to keep up. And she always knows what she wants to say -- that is, unless you manage to make her brain malfunction.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Not particularly. Though she does like to say "jeez!" and "lol!" Yes, she does actually say "lol" out loud, no one ever told her that was a bad thing.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
Fluent English, and a smattering of French, Japanese, and Hawaiian. But not enough in any of those to have a full conversation at all -- just a few words here and there.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
No.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
Jade says whatever's on the tip of her tongue, so I guess that would make her really good at speaking whenever she needs to. And sometimes, when she really shouldn't.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
She isn't an eloquent or prosaic speaker like Rose -- Jade's typical speech is more earthy, natural and easy to follow. She does get a little geeky when she starts talking about Physics and tinkering, though that's not often.

Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?

Name: Jade Harley
Background:
Once upon a time, a meteor crashed into the earth on December 1st, carrying with it a small little girl who would later be named Jade Harley. She was found by Grandpa (we would find out he was actually her ectobiology father), who deemed her a new traveling companion and took her to explore a strange island. Not much is really known about her past, other than that her Grandpa was shot with a dual-wielded flintlock pistol when Jade was very small, causing Jade to lose sleep over his death. Eventually, she slept and woke up on Prospit, where she has been dreaming ever since.

Jade lives on her island with her (deceased, stuffed) Grandfather and her omnipotent dog, Becquerel, who can warp time and space. And this island is in the middle of the ocean, somewhere between Australia and Hawaii. She has been collecting friends for years now, making them and keeping track of them over the internet, through the use of a client called Pesterchum. Her dog looks out for her, keeping her out of trouble on what has fondly been nicknamed Hellmurder Island.

Jade is really uncertain about the trolls she's met, blocking them all because she really can't stand most of them. They somehow find ways around this, but she keeps blocking them all the same. She is rather neutral on the trolls vs. humans debate, however, realizing that they need to live peacefully in order to survive.

Personality:
Jade is described in canon as “a very silly girl.” That is for the most part, true. Most of her time outside of Sburb is spent indulging in fun things, like talking to her friends online and playing her eclectic bass. She loves her Squiddle plushies, and is a great enthusiast of 'anthropomorphic fauna.' Often she daydreams about turning into an animal (though she would never, ever dress up as one). She is happy, usually putting a positive outlook on things, and is very rarely exasperated. This is expressed in the way she types. There, exclamation points abound, as well as smiley faces. Rarely does she forgo these, even when she’s angry (in fact, she almost uses MORE exclamation points when she’s upset).

Jade is fairly naive. She grew up somewhat sheltered, living on an island with mainly her dog Becquerel for company, since her grandfather gained an appreciation for wanderlust and took off to explore the world. While Bec isn’t just a dog, but rather a guardian of Earth, it still makes for a lonely childhood of sorts. Still, Jade doesn’t seem upset by this. Her sense of the unfairness of life is small, and she tends to rely on her dreams and her dog rather than common sense. Jade also doesn’t understand popular culture references (with the exception of Dave’s comics, which she reads religiously in a non-ironic way). She doesn’t always understand her friends’ jokes, but she laughs anyway, as a good friend and supporter should. But don’t mistake her naivety for dim wits. Jade might overlook the grim details, but she is extremely intelligent. Her favorite things to do include nuclear physics, of all things. She has used her time to her advantage, cultivating her talents. Jade has many unusual skills for a girl of thirteen, since she was taught by her grandfather at a young age to appreciate the thrill of the hunt and other various things, like science. While she may not be culturally in the know, Jade knows enough in her own fields to make up for that.

Jade has a problem with falling asleep in strange locations; this is frequently put down to a severe case of narcolepsy, but it has recently been discovered that Vriska (one of the trolls) is behind some of this. To what extent, the readers aren't yet certain, but Vriska has been controlling Jade's sleeping habits for a good portion of her life. She can’t control where she falls asleep; in canon, she almost seems to have a knack for falling asleep at the WORST times (though this is probably due to Vriska's subtle trolling). Jade presumably never knows that she’s fallen asleep (though when asked, her dream robot will admit that she probably is). People tend to make fun of her for this, but the only time this ever gets on her nerves is when it’s insults from the trolls, most of whom Jade detests. She is the only one of the kids to actually count all twelve of the distinct trolls at first, and is presumably the one that they first made contact with (and the one that they contact the most, though these conversations aren’t always shown in pages). She might be slow to anger, but she is anything but immune. Karkat certainly got on her nerves long before the series started, causing Jade to block him on her instant messaging client, pesterchum. Karkat finds a way to get around the block, much to Jade’s chagrin, and they continue their arguments. Her anger generally takes its form in a manner of ignoring whoever makes her mad, though she doesn’t often show true rage. When she does, it’s almost like a complete snap in personality. When Karkat and future!Karkat get into an argument in a chat (via freaky time shenanigans) Jade reverts to angry words and expletives, shocking the pair of them. This doesn’t happen often, but that’s probably a good thing; most people don’t expect it of her, since it’s so rare.

Since Jade has been awake on Prospit, the dream world closest to Skaia, for as long as she can remember, she often seems to be much of a dreamer. Because of her dream self, Jade has received visions of the future through Skaia’s clouds, telling her to do things that are important to her friends’ quests. When she wakes up from these dreams, she arranges her thoughts by tying pieces of multicolored string to her fingers, to help her to remember certain events. Most of her friends find her to be a little bit eerie and secretive, since she often knows things that they haven’t yet told her. Jade refuses to share anything more than is necessary with her friends about their futures, exclaiming that if she tells them, they will “mess it all up.” Despite that, she wishes all of her friends the best, becoming the main cheerleader of the group as the story progresses. As the last person to enter the medium, Jade is left out of the loop to some extent. Despite this, she doesn’t stop believing in her friends. She nudges them in the right directions, knowing that they’ll bring her up to speed eventually.

Title: Witch of Space, but this can be changed if needed.
Planet: Land of Frost and Steam
Chumhandle/Color: gardenGnostic, and she types like this!!
Other: riflekind, really cute.

» general.

Fourth Walling; While fourth walling happens a ton in the comic, I would prefer it if you didn't fourth wall Jade directly. However, you are free to mention MS Paint Adventures to her, if your character would know it (she reads it too! Don't you love the Midnight Crew?). But please don't mention Homestuck.

Threadjacking; I am kind of addicted to threadjacking, especially within Jade's own cast. I would love it if people did this! It makes things so much more fun; and besides, everyone knows that the characters creep on other people's conversations, anyway.

Action tags; If you would like to chill with Jade on her many wanderings, feel free to change to action tags if it seems appropriate! I try and place my characters in a specific setting for their posts, so if your character is close by and would like to visit (or if they're far away and want to barge on over) feel free.

» physical.

Fighting; Jade isn't exactly a fighting-type; she will push and shove, and sometimes even hit people, but she would never want to purposefully harm someone. I would prefer it if people could keep away from just randomly fist fighting with her (unless you're Karkat, and then I guess it's okay because she would fight right back).

Injuries; If this makes logical sense, then sure! Jade is always running around, doing somewhat dangerous things. So if you think that she could gain an injury from this, please just ask me first.

Killing; No, unless you ask first (FOR SINGULARITY ONLY).

» love.

Falling in Love; Sure! Keep in mind that Jade is 13; her idea of romance is holding hands and maybe kissing if you're feeling really risque. So most forms of romance will be pretty foreign to her.

Sex; No.

Kissing; Certainly. She will be embarrassed, though.

Orientation; Heterosexual, perhaps curious about the same sex. Jade has lived a fairly sheltered life, and hasn't experienced much in the way of love/sexual orientation at all. So don't expect her to be running into anyone's arms.

Relationships; Platonic? Most Certainly. Romantic? Well, you can try! Jade is easy to get along with, and pretty easygoing. Of course, she wouldn't date anyone too much older than her, but you could always ask. Just IM me if you'd like to talk about this.

» contact.

[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]

Name: Jade Harley, known in the medium as the Witch of Space. She also goes by her online handle, gardenGnostic.
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Fandom: Homestuck
Timeline: ~~In the middle of "[S] Descend.", right after attempts to wake dream John up but before Jade's dream self actually dies.~~ CANON UPDATED: Immediately after her conversation with Dave, before she prototypes her dead dream self.
History: Here is a link to the plot of the entire webcomic thus far and Here is a link to Jade's personal history.

Character Personality:
Jade is described in canon as “a very silly girl.” That is for the most part, true. Most of her time outside of Sburb is spent indulging in fun things, like talking to her friends online and playing her eclectic bass. She loves her Squiddle plushies, and is a great enthusiast of 'anthropomorphic fauna.' Often she daydreams about turning into an animal (though she would never, ever dress up as one). She is happy, usually putting a positive outlook on things, and is very rarely exasperated. This is expressed in the way she types. There, exclamation points abound, as well as smiley faces. Rarely does she forgo these, even when she’s angry (in fact, she almost uses MORE exclamation points when she’s upset).

Jade is fairly naive. She grew up somewhat sheltered, living on an island with mainly her dog Becquerel for company, since her grandfather gained an appreciation for wanderlust and took off to explore the world. While Bec isn’t just a dog, but rather a guardian of Earth, it still makes for a lonely childhood of sorts. Still, Jade doesn’t seem upset by this. Her sense of the unfairness of life is small, and she tends to rely on her dreams and her dog rather than common sense. Jade also doesn’t understand popular culture references (with the exception of Dave’s comics, which she reads religiously in a non-ironic way). She doesn’t always understand her friends’ jokes, but she laughs anyway, as a good friend and supporter should. But don’t mistake her naivety for dim wits. Jade might overlook the grim details, but she is extremely intelligent. Her favorite things to do include nuclear physics, of all things. She has used her time to her advantage, cultivating her talents. Jade has many unusual skills for a girl of thirteen, since she was taught by her grandfather at a young age to appreciate the thrill of the hunt and other various things, like science. While she may not be culturally in the know, Jade knows enough in her own fields to make up for that.

Jade has a problem with falling asleep in strange locations; this is frequently put down to a severe case of narcolepsy, but it has recently been discovered that Vriska (one of the trolls) is behind some of this. To what extent, the readers aren't yet certain, but Vriska has been controlling Jade's sleeping habits for a good portion of her life. She can’t control where she falls asleep; in canon, she almost seems to have a knack for falling asleep at the WORST times (though this is probably due to Vriska's subtle trolling). Jade presumably never knows that she’s fallen asleep (though when asked, her dream robot will admit that she probably is). People tend to make fun of her for this, but the only time this ever gets on her nerves is when it’s insults from the trolls, most of whom Jade detests. She is the only one of the kids to actually count all twelve of the distinct trolls at first, and is presumably the one that they first made contact with (and the one that they contact the most, though these conversations aren’t always shown in pages). She might be slow to anger, but she is anything but immune. Karkat certainly got on her nerves long before the series started, causing Jade to block him on her instant messaging client, pesterchum. Karkat finds a way to get around the block, much to Jade’s chagrin, and they continue their arguments. Her anger generally takes its form in a manner of ignoring whoever makes her mad, though she doesn’t often show true rage. When she does, it’s almost like a complete snap in personality. When Karkat and future!Karkat get into an argument in a chat (via freaky time shenanigans) Jade reverts to angry words and expletives, shocking the pair of them. This doesn’t happen often, but that’s probably a good thing; most people don’t expect it of her, since it’s so rare.

Since Jade has been awake on Prospit, the dream world closest to Skaia, for as long as she can remember, she often seems to be much of a dreamer. Because of her dream self, Jade has received visions of the future through Skaia’s clouds, telling her to do things that are important to her friends’ quests. When she wakes up from these dreams, she arranges her thoughts by tying pieces of multicolored string to her fingers, to help her to remember certain events. Most of her friends find her to be a little bit eerie and secretive, since she often knows things that they haven’t yet told her. Jade refuses to share anything more than is necessary with her friends about their futures, exclaiming that if she tells them, they will “mess it all up.” Despite that, she wishes all of her friends the best, becoming the main cheerleader of the group as the story progresses. As the last person to enter the medium, Jade is left out of the loop to some extent. Despite this, she doesn’t stop believing in her friends. She nudges them in the right directions, knowing that they’ll bring her up to speed eventually.

Character Abilities:
Although some people may think otherwise, Jade is actually quite intelligent. Despite her lack of popular culture knowledge, she is skilled in the sciences and especially enjoys nuclear physics. She likes cultivating plants in her greenhouse (hence her pesterchum handle, gardenGnostic) and is very successful at making them thrive. Her favorite hobby is gardening, and she thinks herself to be quite the whiz at it.

Jade is also a skilled markswoman. She is particularly gifted with rifles, having learned from her grandfather. Her aim is deadly, and though she could kill someone, only her pacifism keeps her from doing so. Recently in canon, we see her shoot a pinata while blindfolded. Obviously, she isn't lying when she says that she can hit her targets.

Her cheerful attitude is also able to make the best of any situation, an ability if ever one existed. Jade can turn most situations into something a little less drastic than it really is, with the exception of only a few (or if she's in a bad mood herself). While asleep, Jade dreams of the world of Prospit, which is a small planet closest to Skaia. When on Prospit, she was granted the gift of seeing the future; because of this, she often was able to tell her friends what they needed to know before they needed to know it. This is a skill that she once had, but it is now gone with her "death." Jade was very good at keeping all of the future organized by a series of colorful reminders on her fingers, though now that her dream self is dead, she can no longer remember what those meant (excepting the one that related to John). She had one for each friend, as well as ones for future events that had yet to happen.

Also, she can make plants grow through music. No one is really sure what that means yet, though it is assumed that is has something to do with her title as Witch of Space.

Character Weaknesses:
The major weakness for Jade is her narcolepsy, aggravated by Vriska's penchant for mind control. Prone to falling asleep anywhere and everywhere, she doesn't actually recognize that she has fallen asleep. She rarely ever makes it back to bed without the help of her dog. Obviously this would be a weakness when in a dire situation, such as in the middle of battle. Jade cannot control when she falls asleep, any more than she can control the weather. Without her dreambot, Jade can't do anything while she's asleep, either. She will just have to stay wherever she lands, until someone comes along and slaps her awake. In Soul Campaign, this will probably not be the case, but it has been such a major part of Jade's life that without it things will be very strange indeed.

Jade is also very naive, to the point of believing the best of people until it's too late and she has been deceived. As the reader sees with Karkat, at first she simply writes him off as a 'jerk' instead of actually hating him. She refuses to believe that anyone could be that mean. Her naivety extends to believing most of what people tell her; while she can be suspicious, it's not in her to outright doubt anything. Her pity could also potentially be a weakness. When finding a bird that Dave had killed, she immediately prototyped the bird with the kernelsprite, to bring it back to life. Without thinking of the consequences, she couldn't bear to see the poor bird dead. Jade is also a pacifist; she refuses to raise a gun against anything cute, not even imaginary creatures. This is negated a bit when she fights in her medium, but at her canon point she is still unable to fathom a time when she might actually need to use her gun for anything but playing with Becquerel.

She is out of the loop when it comes to video games and pop culture references; she is the only one of her friends that isn't tech-savvy or movie-loving. Jade's isolated island has kept her from really having a childhood filled with going to the movies or talking about the latest Playstation game. While she can operate a computer well, it is beyond her capabilities to swiftly navigate a game console (like Sburb). She calls the game 'hard' although it is only dropping pieces of equipment onto the floor, and is bad at using the controls.

[ MEISTER ONLY SECTION ]

Why your character should be a Meister: Jade would vehemently disagree that she is someone who could lead in battle; this is one of the reasons that I would like to make her a meister. Despite her protests, she is cool-headed most of the time and able to smoothly assess situations without getting too overblown about it. Even when a meteor was charging towards her house, she still remained fairly calm.

Jade would view her weapon as an equal, someone with whom she could talk to and believe in fully. Her support of her friends would be good for a meister, someone who must return the respect they receive from their partner in order to resonate well. In addition, Jade is a master marksman, though she swears she wouldn't shoot a living thing. Her strife modus is riflekind for a reason; she is skilled with weapons. Jade is physically fit from running around her island, often making up daring schemes to get out of the surveillance of her guardian dog, Bec. She is quick-thinking on her feet (except when she's asleep) and someone who will cheer for her team, win or lose.

Meister Ability: Colorfully Reminded Soul - Jade is able to pinpoint a soul's location and any immediate danger to that person by focusing on a string wrapped around her finger (with player permission). She cannot resonate while using this ability, and it will not work on people who have Soul Apathy or another blocking ability. She will only start with two strings, being used separately, but with training and stronger resonation, could work up to 10 being used simultaneously, one per finger.

[ SOUL INFORMATION ]

Soul Description: Optimistic, Visionary, Odd, Open, Convivial, Diverse

Soul Appearance: A soul that is rather small, with round shapes around the eyes to symbolize Jade's glasses and cute teeth that seem to poke out of her smile. The soul looks as if it might know something that others don't. It is SHOCKINGLY LIME GREEN in color.
