❧Character Info
Name: Sollux Captor
Canon: Homestuck
Age: 6 Solar Sweeps (Or 13 years)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Here
Canon Point: This point in canon! Aradiabot had just said farewell and exploded.

Canon History: Here!
Previous Game History: N/A! I'm taking him from pure canon!

Personality: Sollux is considered an introvert because he doesn't talk to people off of the internet that much and he doesn't talk to them on the internet that much either. He stays quiet in his hive and mostly works on codes. Sometimes others talk to him and he talks to them but not really that much unless it's needed. Such as when he made Sgrub using the ruins Aradia found and needed team members. He despises doing anything that might be juvenile or immature which is a reason why he refused to talk to any of the humans. He's extremely mature and intelligent for someone his age so it's hard to catch him doing anything childish at all. If him and Karkat get in any kind of immature conversation, he completely forgets it happened and deletes it from his log.

He also has bipolar disorder. It throws him into humiliating and debilitating mood swings. If he was in the middle of doing something and he's hit by a mood swing, anyone can tell easily that he is. Such as when he's mad, he types in caps. It's pretty easy to set him off, saying anything could do it really. An example of this is when he was talking to Karkat about how he didn't want to play Sgrub anymore.

"CG: YOU'RE EITHER BEING REALLY PERSISTENT WITH THIS TRANSPARENT RUSE, OR YOU REALLY ARE JUST THAT SAD AND INCOMPETENT.
CG: NEITHER CASE DESERVES MY RESPECT OR MY FRIENDSHIP.
CG: IN FACT, YOU KNOW WHAT, FRIENDSHIP CANCELED.
CG: THERE IT'S OFFICIAL, BYE BYE FRIENDSHIP!
TA: oh liike you havent 2aiid that liike a biilliion tiime2.
TA: you arent iin any po2iitiion two que2tiion my competence.
TA: youre the wor2t programmer iive ever 2een, you dont know anythiing about computer2, why do you bother.
TA: the only thiing youre good at ii2 yelliing and makiing huge mii2take2.
TA: and beiing UGLY AND HORRIIBLE IN EVERY WAY, AND HAVIING 2TUPIID LIITTLE NUBBY HORN2."

The last bit that he said was a little too harsh and it's obvious that Karkat was starting to really get on his nerves.

He's got a pretty dark disposition on life. Since he sees glimpses of the future, he knows that they're all going to die. Thanks to this, he's a very pessimistic person. He also hears the screams of the imminently dead therefore, he hears the voices of people who are about to die. He's gotten used to ignoring them but it's still depressing none the less. Furthermore, he doesn't sugar coat anything. He'll tell you the deal even if it's depressing. Along with his dark disposition, he hates himself. He's always putting himself down and he exaggerates about a lot of things about himself. Such as obviously there are two colors under yellow in the caste system but Sollux tends to think of himself lower than everyone else because what could be lower than yellow? He also tends to act like he's the hottest shit ever. Such as when he was recruiting Karkat for the game:

"TA: youre lucky iim 2o fuckiing magnaniimou2 and chariitable cau2e otherwii2e there2 no chance iid wa2te my tiime on you."

During a tense or awkward moment, he usually tries to lighten the mood by pulling ridiculous puns. They're usually really bad and make everyone just sigh.

Sollux also has a poker face. He doesn't like to talk to anyone about how he's feeling; even Karkat. They are a sore topic for Sollux. He tries all he can to keep them concealed and hates it when people talk about them. Such as when he and Feferi were talking about his feelings after Aradia died. Kanaya came over to talk to them and Feferi stated that Sollux was feeling upset over Aradia's death since she was Sollux's very good friend. Sollux got irritated and snapped at Feferi, stating this:

"HOLY SHIT, yes let's talk about all of my problems openly, I LOVE that. Hey KK, check this out, my emotions are serving as entertainment again!"

He would really rather not talk about his own emotions and problems.

One more thing about Sollux is that he is a very, very sarcastic person. He uses sarcasm almost 24/7. An example of his sarcasm:

"AA: why d0 y0u like t0 talk t0 me
TA: oh ii dont know, maybe becau2e we are 2uppo2ed two 2ave the world twogether???
TA: ii al2o talk two you becau2e iin ca2e you havent notiiced ii de2pii2e my2elf and perpetually 2eek two dupliicate through emotiional paiin the cacophony of phy2iical paiin my hiideou2 mutant braiin cau2e2 me every day.
TA: oh my god ii ju2t had a breakthrough!!!
TA: thank you 2o much for thii2, iit wa2 great.
TA: that wa2 a joke, here type "ha".
AA: ha
TA: now type iit agaiin.
AA: ha
TA: there you go, you are now offiiciially the liife of the party.
TA: eheheh ii ju2t took an embarra22iing viideo of you cuttiing loo2e there, boy ii 2ure hope thii2 juiicy nugget doe2nt wiind up on the iinternet!"

Powers: He is telepathic and can lift objects with his mind. He can also shoot powerful blasts of energy from his eyes and he hears the voices of the imminently dead. He's also got two-fold vision and can see glimpses of the future. He's also a mad hacker.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Strengths:

1. He's really, really smart.
2. He's probably the best hacker out there.
3. He's strong willed and doesn't back down from challenges.
4. He's pretty powerful with his psionics.
5. He's got a self-sacrificing nature which is helpful to his friends because he's willing to die for them.

Weaknesses:

1. He's bipolar and he gets angry easily.
2. He beats himself up over everything and really hates himself.
3. Without his psionics, he's kind of weak physically.
4. His self-sacrificing nature is also a weakness because he won't think twice about killing himself if it means that everyone else is ok.
5. Even though he is really self depreciating, he comes off as an egotistical douchebag and he pisses others off easily.

First Person Sample: [Sollux blinks a few times, staring at the giant Candy Kingdom castle.]

So... everything's made of human confectioneries?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

How the hell do any of these buildings even stay up if they're made of sweets? I mean, you'd think the sun would melt everything by now.

[He moves over towards a light post and pokes it.]

Huh. It sure doesn't feel like it's made of candy.

[After glancing over his shoulders to see if anyone's around, he leans in and licks the pole.]

Ugh, bluh!

[He backs away with a very disgusted expression.]

Third Person Sample: Sollux stood there, tears running down his cheeks. One of his really good friends had just died for the second time practically in his arms, it was hard for him to handle. He rubs his eyes and puts his glasses back on before walking onto one of the teleportation pads to get the fuck out of there. But, rather then being sent to another room in the Veil, he was sent to somewhere else. Somewhere bright and outside and sweet smelling. He shades his eyes from the sun and looks around, the new scenery distracting him from what he was upset about just a moment before.

"What the fuck? Where the hell is this?"

"Greetings!"

He looks down and raises an eyebrow at the small peppermint-man talking to him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Peppermint Butler! Welcome to The Land of Ooo!"

The Land of Ooo? That sounded like the name of one of Tavros's lame fairy tales.

"Thanks now where's the exit? If I'm gone too long KK will flip off of 10 handles and do a fucking pirrouette off the meteor we're currently living on."

"I'm sorry, but currently there is no exit. This portal sends people here but it can't send you back."

Sollux raises his eyebrow. There's no way back? Well, this could count as some kind of vacation he guesses. And hey, anywhere where Karkat isn't yelling at him is better then there.

!ooc, !application
