Vriska Serket | MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck

[banerry]

Canon: MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck
Character: Vriska Serket
Timeline: After coming on to Tavros in the Land of Maps and Treasure, but before Aradia kills her.
Personality:
Vriska is screwed up. So, so screwed up. In fact, in a group of teenagers from a crapsack world that seems to thrive on fundamentally screwing kids up for life, she's one of the worst. Her Freudian excuse is pretty obvious: she was raised from a very young age to lead her fellow troll children to their deaths, so as to feed her custodian and avoid dying in some way herself. Even before that, she was reading a journal filled with murder and rape, and she believed that this was something she needed to emulate in order to be strong. She routinely hurts and kills those that she calls friends. And the society that she comes from tells her that this is all perfectly okayShe comes up with an excuse for anything and everything, mostly in order to take blame off of herself. She relentlessly bullies Tavros (a sweet, shy boy who-- usually-- wouldn't hurt a fly), then later

Basically, what Vriska wants most in the world is to be a gigantic Mary Sue. She wants it all: all the power, all the gaming levels, all the skill, all the relationships. She thinks she's much more cool, suave, and manipulative than she actually is, and she envies people who can use and trick others without the liberal use of mind control. She openly tries to shape her entire life around the experiences of her ancestor, who was a true Alternian troll in every sense of the word (that is, she was a rampant murderer with no regrets or misgivings). Really, though, she's just kidding herself-- she may be capable of horrible things, but we do see in canon that she can and does feel regret, such as when she feels terrible for killing Tavros later on in the series. This is something that actually causes her quite a bit of insecurity at times; she won't admit it easily, but she worries that she isn't a good enough troll largely because she doesn't cause enough destruction and mayhem. This is part of the reason that she goes so overboard at

When she was nearing the age where she would have to start feeding her fellow kids to her lusus, Vriska found something that would eventually become extremely important to her: an ancient journal, belonging to a ruthless, fearsome pirate marquise named Spinneret Mindfang. According to Alternian legend, everyone had one ancestor with which they shared more genetic material than anyone else. Because Mindfang shared both Vriska's blood color and her unique sign, she became convinced that she was the Marquise's descendent, and that she was meant to follow in her footsteps. The journal became her bible of sorts, and she began relentlessly emulating as much of Mindfang's life as she could (up to and including trying to recreate her relationships). She eventually started playing FLARP, an "extreme live-action roleplay" game that could-- and often did-- result in the deaths of its losers. Vriska adopted Mindfang's persona during these games, even going so far as to use her name as her roleplaying handle. She was an extremely enthusiastic and

It was about at this point that the main plot of the canon started up (though I've taken her from fairly early on). A group of twelve troll kids-- Vriska and her FLARPing buddies included-- began playing a game called SGRUB that allowed them to directly control each others' environments in a very Sim-like fashion. Due to the influences of the game and the then-unknown figures controlling it, all their lusii began to die one after the other. (Vriska's was only severely wounded instead of outright killed, so she chopped off her head to put her out of her misery.) Meteors began raining down on Alternia, and the players escaped to the Medium, a game construct created to house those who had gained enough levels to get that far. Each one got their own little planet related to their history and personality-- Vriska's was called the Land of Map and Treasure, and it was distinctly pirate-themed. She fooled around there for a while, gaining more levels. Unluckily for Tavros, he was her client player, which meant that he was the one whose

Abilities/Additional Notes:Like many trolls on the higher end of the blood color hemospectrum, Vriska is psychic. If someone has a weak or otherwise easily-controlled mind, she can worm her way in and get them to do her bidding. (However, canon does show that this doesn't work on humans-- so far, she can only put them to sleep.) Apparently, she can also read minds, though this ability is never demonstrated and is really only mentioned in a couple of throwaway lines. Based on her mind-controlling powers, though, it's probably safe to say that it only works on weak-minded non-humans. At this point, these are all the innate powers that she has*. Trolls in general are also physically stronger and more durable than the average human, though the extent to which they are isn't really revealed

Sample Journal Post:
Ugh, this PCD thing is soooooooo annoying! The text is all weird, and you can't even change color! Do you know how 8oring and lame it is to have to type in 8lack all the time? ::::\

If I'm going to 8e stuck here, I need to 8e a8le to write normally. There have to 8e people here who know how to fix this, riiiiiiiight?

I know it must 8e really intimidating to talk to someone who's as amazing and accomplished as I am. In fact, you've pro8a8ly never even had the chance 8efore! 8ut that's exactly why you should help me out now, 8ecause you might not 8e given an opportunity to assist someone so cool ever again.

I promise it'll 8e worth your while. ::::)

Sample RP:
One good thing about Vriska: it wasn't too hard for her to adapt. Sure, this place wasn't anywhere near as cool as LOMAT, but she hadn't really been there long enough to get too attached. And Alternia, no matter how long you spent there, wasn't exactly the sort of place that you missed. Sure, it had been home, but it had kind of sucked in a lot of ways! At

Actually, the Sylladex (and all 'bag of holding' type items) explode upon entering the game, so it's up to you whether you want that to happen, or whether she just doesn't have it with her at all. >.>; Regardless!:

Ahhh okay; I thought I'd seen other HS characters here talking about having them, so I got confused. Awesome. Thank you! ♥
