CHARACTER NAME: Jane Crocker
SERIES: Homestuck
CANON POINT: Just as Jane enters Sburb.
APPEARANCE: boop
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Jane should be a Harvest Cleric, given her title as Maid of Life in Sburb. It seems that life players get healing powers, so a healer class fits her perfectly!
PREVIOUSLY IN HOLYRELIC: N/A

PERSONALITY: There are two words repeatedly used to describe Jane: “tightass” and “skeptic”. And there’s a reason for this: Jane’s a little overly skeptical! Her friend Dirk is constantly challenging her to be more open, and she’s actively hurt her friend Roxy by not believing her. Jane claims she believes in her, but her logical mind makes it difficult for her to truly believe that Roxy is the one who stole her pumpkins with some kinda magic future technology! In most cases, Jane is right to be skeptical, yes, but her tendency to be skeptical by default means that she rarely takes anything her friends tell her at face value. It is this stubborn skepticism that keeps her in the dark from the (admittedly obvious) sabotage and subliminal messaging being directed at her by the Batterwitch.

As the story progresses, however, Jane makes an effort to be less skeptical as a rule. She is really loyal and affectionate towards her friends, and when she realizes how she’s hurt them, she takes it pretty hard. She tends to beat up on herself when she makes mistakes like this, even if she has reason to do what she’s done. This might be a symptom of her general social awkwardness. Given how she handles discussing more serious things (like her crush on Jake), it seems she can get flustered when feelings are involved, and in some cases opts to take the fall herself rather than let anyone else get hurt.

Still, Jane isn’t above getting frustrated or angry. It just doesn’t happen that often. When it does, however, the most she’s been shown to do is snap or TYPE IN ALL CAPS, so it seems she has good control over her temper. She doesn’t always have control over her impulses, however, as she is quick to grow impatient when told to wait on starting up the game Roxy has sent her. This is a good quality in a junior gumshoe, perhaps, but it’s likely to get her into trouble. Her curiosity and desire to solve mysteries is just as strong as her interest in jokes and pranks, and might just be the major thing to set her apart from her Poppop, John Crocker.

samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:

[Jane tiptoes around the gate, eyeing it like it’s about to jump out and attack her. With all her ties to her various allies (and potential murderers), she’s feeling a little off-kilter. Whether this was the thing that brought her here or the thing that will get her out, she doesn’t feel like jumping into it will have any bearing on her tight-assery. After all, it’d be just ludicrous to jump headfirst into it.

Unless her dad’s in there.

Oh shit, what if her dad’s in there?!

Jane grips her cheeks (the ones on her face, geez!), groaning a little. Whatever is she meant to do now?

It’s at this point that she notices a...thing-- er, person! In a similar predicament.]

Er, hello? I’m Jane! Do you know where we-- oh goodness, what in the fuck are you?

[The stranger turns, glares.]

Uh-- I just mean, you look a little...gray...around the gills.

PROBABLY BECAUSE I’M A TROLL. BUT I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT A TROLL IS SO THE VERY CONCEPT OF EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU IS ENTIRELY FUCKING POINTLESS.

Oh! I know some trolls!

...UH, YOU DO? HUH.

Yes! There’s a swell one who’s a girl and a not-so-nice one who mostly wants to kill us! I’m guessing you aren’t either of them since they apparently sort of watch us or something voyeuristic like that.

I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHO YOU ARE, NO. AND AS FOR YOUR QUESTION, NO FUCKING CLUE WHERE WE ARE.

Well, that’s just devil fucking wonderful.

WHAT?

Sorry. Inside joke.

THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: (if you're already actively playing a character in HR, you don't need to do this section! but surprise us with your creativity and put something here anyway~?)

To put it frankly, this was not what Jane expected Sburb to look like. Or...feel like? Who put her in these leathery duds? This stuff is straight up Medieval! Or perhaps Renaissance-ian? Oh, that isn’t even a word.

Jane wanders around, taking a cautious inventory of her surroundings. It seems Sburb’s Alpha has taken a bit of an abrupt setting shift? This looks nothing like Prospit-- there is not nearly enough gold --and it feels too fantastical to be Earth. Then again, she did say she was going to work on her skepticism, and immediately assuming that something is up when nothing may in fact be up would be the opposite of open-mindedness, wouldn’t it?

So...Sburb. She’s in the game! She should tell someone! Just gotta get the ol’ Tiaratop fired up (surely Dirk will forgive her for this just this once!) and send off a few HOO HOO HUZZAH!-s to her compatri...ots...

Oh shit, the freaking thing is gone! What the hell is this bullshit? A PDA? Who sends messages on those?! Aaaaaugh! Why can’t anything in this game go right?!
