Be the Sea Dweller Lowblood/Characters

Character sheet for Be the Sea Dweller Lowblood, a Homestuck Fanfic.

Eridan Ampora

• Adorkable
• Badass Cape: He steals one from Karkat and, when wearing it, unconsciously emulates his ancestor Dualscar, who most certainly is a Badass.
  • He certainly does seem a lot cooler now.
• Blind Without'Em: Eridan really can't see anything more than a few feet away clearly without his glasses.
• The Chew Toy: Even in an AU, the universe seems to hate Eridan.
• It's All About Me: The real reason he'll never find matespritship. All of his pity is aimed at himself, he blames everything wrong in his life on other people (never himself), and the only pity he'll ever draw is for being messed up and not for being put upon by the world, like he thinks he is.
• Kleptomaniac Hero: Seems to have a penchant for stealing Karkat's valuables.
• Large Ham: "Your think pan comes with two settings: 'asleep' and 'Melodrama.'"
• Pirate: "kar, you wwill alwways remoraber this as the day that you almost caught... Eridan Ampora."
• Wave Motion Gun: Ahab's Crosshairs
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Has to borrow one of Feferi's skirts to wear on his date with Nepeta, as everything of his is dirty or in horrible condition. Also revealed to have done this a few times before in the past due to losing bets with Vriska.

Feferi Peixes

• Better As Moirails: With Eridan
• Beware the Nice Ones
• A Friend in Need: Goes searching for Eridan despite the danger it could present to herself.
• I Will Find You: Eridan again
• Plucky Girl

Nepeta Leijon

• The Matchmaker: Wants to set up Eridan and Feferi.
  • Matchmaker Crush: Likely to veer into this now that Eridan has confessed his feelings for her.
    • Moirail Zoned as of her rescuing him from Karkat's quarters.
  • This is eventually deconstructed after Eridan calls her out for trying to manipulate his and Feferi's qudrants, telling her she's no better than the bigoted and abusive highbloods. Nepeta ends up feeling so guilty that she destroys her shipping wall and gives up matchmaking.
• Shipper on Deck: The point of her shipping wall.
• Your Cheating Heart: Nepeta and Equius are moirails, but due to his inability to have a proper feelings jam with her, she's gone somewhat pale for Eridan

Karkat Vantas

• Badass Longcoat
• The Casanova: In his mind, he's the "hate playa," though the narrator outright calls him a "hate whore." He's known for a string of short-lived past blackrom flings.
• Cool Shades: A gift from Sollux. Hate Playa
• Foreplay Is Violence
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold
• Large Ham: Karkat wouldn't be Karkat without it.
• Nay Theist: In spite of having a Near-Death Experience complete with Near-Death Clairvoyance and inverted Go Into the Light.
• Rage Against the Heavens: He hates the church of the Sufferer, all of its worshipers, and the Sufferer himself. When he meets/hallucinates the Sufferer in a near-death experience, he practically hate-flirts with him.
• They Died Because of You: Blames Sollux's death on himself.

Equius Zahhak

• Cannot Spit It Out: His blackrom crush on Gamzee.
  • Less this and more that he's in denial to himself until his Hate Epiphany.
  • This trope can also be applied to his flushed feelings for Tavros, who he has flushed feeling for. However, he refuses to admit it because he feels that, as a lowblood, it would be out of place for him to pursue a matespritship with him.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Builds a robot meant to resemble his childhood crush (Empress Aradia); however he's had to take so many parts from Sarada that it no longer looks much like Aradia at all.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck: Yes. Heck Yes. Heck Flipping Yes.
  • Precision F-Strike: Gamzee drives him to this on a couple of occasions.
• In a Single Bound: He STRONG jumps a quarter of the way across the planet.
• Madness Mantra: PICKAXE TO BONE. MAKE HIM SCREAM.

Gamzee Makara

• Monster Clown
• The Stoner
• Street Urchin

Sarada (the robot) / Latica Lacert (the ghost possessing said robot)

• The Golden Rule: Subverted. She plans to do unto Equius what he has done to her.
• It's Personal / Pay Evil Unto Evil: Latica is possesing the robot in the hopes that she can get revenge on her murderer.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: All her revenge schemes are doomed to fail, and go unnoticed by her target.
• Replacement Goldfish: Sarada was originally built as a double of Aradia.
• Revenge by Proxy: Latica decides to act against her robot body once she realizes the sentimental importance it has to Equius. Unfortunately she seems doomed to failure even at this...

Tavros Nitram

• Apologizes a Lot
• Cannot Spit It Out: He has flushed feelings for Equius, but can't bring himself to ad mit it because he's afraid Equius will accept his feelings purely out of a sense of obligation instead of reciprocation.
• Friend to All Living Things
• Kick the Dog: Despite being just as much of a nice guy for the most part as in canon, his first speaking scene is after he's murdered a troll spy he was supposed to arrest and is acting more concerned about how to woo her crying lusus away.
• The Woobie

Empress Aradia Megido

• Beware the Nice Ones: She is terrifying when angry.
• I See Dead People
  • Dead Person Conversation: With Sollux. Includes shades of How Dare You Die on Me!. Subtle, but definitely there.
• Madness Mantra: Cannot attack them, they're your matesprit and your advisier.

Sollux Captor

• Black Comedy: Has been cracking a lot of death jokes lately.
• Driven to Suicide
• Fang Thpeak: Has a lisp.
• Kick the Dog: Off-handedly murders a lowblood character for protesting Aradia and the hemospectrum right after we're given the character's sob story.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Not long after, he's kicked out of the library, which has a no poltergeist policy. While standing over the ashes of his murder victim, he gripes, "GHOSTS ARE TROLLS TOO!"
• Mood Swinger
• Psychic Powers
• The Undead

Vriska Serket

• Broken Bird
• The Gambler: Fights with her Fluorite Octect, though unfortunately she's lost all but three of the dice, making her rolls a lot more dangerous for herself.
• Jerkass Woobie: She may still be a total bitch, but it's hard not to feel sorry for her.
• Manipulative Bitch
• Took a Level in Badass: Inverted. Vriska's lost most of her dice, and she isn't nearly the Karma Houdini she was in canon.

Terezi Pyrope

• And Then What?: She doesn't really seem to really want to bring Vriska to justice as much as to chase her.
• Cool Shades
• Dragon Rider
• Manipulative Bitch

Kanaya Maryam

• Beautiful Lech
• The Casanova: She seduces, fills a red pail, and throws away... only to return when the broken heart hates her, fill a black pail, and throw away for good. However, as a mild subversion, she's doing this not just for her own pleasure but as the beginning of a multi-generational project to create a new race of sun-resistant trolls.
• The First Cut Is the Deepest: It seems her willingness to take advantage of other trolls comes in part from the pain she's still feeling over something that happened with Vriska.
• Les Yay: Like in canon, she tends to prefer females over males.
• Memetic Sex Goddess: So much so that any and all of her actions must include seduction somehow.

IRIS

• Fun with Acronyms: It stands for "Interplanetary Resistance of Independent Sea Dwellers".
• La Résistance

Rhosyn Lalond

• Category Traitor: How Cuvier and most sea-bloods see her and other ninjaquatics.
• Deadpan Snarker: So much that nearly every single word out of her mouth is sarcasm.
• Expy: Of Rose Lalonde, of course.
• Knight Templar
• Totalitarian Utilitarian: She sneers at Cuvier for wanting to overturn a social order which has led the trolls to the longest-lived and most powerful interstellar empire—his race over his species.

Jadzia Harley

• Biker Babe
• Expy: Of Jade Harley.
• Non-Ironic Clown: She's a member of the clown cult, but nowhere near as freaky or psychotic as Gamzee. Other than the face paint, MiRaClE Modus, clown emotes :o), and love of Faygo, there's no similarities between them at all.
• Raised by Wolves: Or rather, a half-dog lusus/half-Gamzee First Guardian.
• Sad Clown: Played with: her face paint resembles a frowning face (as opposed to Gamzee's constantly smiling makeup), though she herself is almost always grinning. However after hearing Feferi's story her expression does temporarily turn to match the makeup.

Jhonen Egbert

• Adorkable
• Expy: Of John Egbert.
• Ho Yay: Has a huge crush on Equius.
  • Ironic considering canonically he's "not a homosexual."
• Kick the Dog: Guess who's been helping feed other trolls to Vriska's old spidermom since she left. And who is abandoning poor little one-sweep old Altari to take care of the job in his absence.

Daivat Stride

• Expy: Of Dave Strider.
• Gossip Evolution: Some of Daivat's tabloid news casts are partially accurate. Karkat's tank getting hit by Equius turns into Karkat being assaulted by a flying blue blood. Likewise, Eridan sneaking into his respiteblock in the Royal Hive turns into the hive being attacked by terrorists with intent to kill Karkat. Word of God says that one of the articles is 100% accurate, but it's up to the readers which one it is.
• Long-Lost Relative: Long-lost in the sense that Karkat doesn't even know he exists.
• Nay Theist: He's descended from the Sufferer, but he wants absolutely nothing to do with religion.
• Not So Above It All: He goes into a panic at the thought of having his blood color revealed via blood test and how Karkat might react to learning someone else has his same blood color.

Broder Fratre, "The Puppetman"

• Badass: He hides his blood color and can get away with it because no one has ever been able to make him bleed.
• Expy: Of Bro Strider.
• Information Broker

Cuvier Safiro

• Cool Shades
• Ensemble Darkhorse
• Eye Scream: Rhosyn stabbed him in the eye.
• It's All About Me: Flat-out stated by the author outside of the adventure itself. However, he's smart enough to know that to achieve his goals, he has to be a team player.
• La Résistance: The leader of IRIS.

Suweet Broski

• Big Bad: Seemingly, anyway.
• The Caligula
• The Chessmaster
• Dream Weaver

Broski: I AM THE MASTOR OF THE SPACES BETWENN MINDS / I AM THE EMPOROR OFF THE HORRHOR-FILLED WAISTLAND BETWEEN DREAMS AND DETH / THE WASTLEAND YOU ARE IN / OUT SIDE OFF YOUR SOPOR-WALLED BUBBLS OF CUTSEY INOCENT SAFE IMAGANARY FAKE DREMS,.. / THIS ISS THE TRU DREAM DOMAIN / AND I AM THE DUKE OF DREAMS / AND YOU / KARKRAP FUCKTASS / ARE NOT / EVEN / A PEASSANT / YOU / ARE / NOT / EVEN / A / PISSANT.

• Children Are Innocent
• Moe: So much so, that the ENTIRE THREAD wanted her to not get eaten by spidermom after Jhonen leaves.
  • Heck they started making plans so that she can leave with Jhonen.

Hakuba Dahaag

• Non Sequitur Scene: her first appearance is during a non-sequitur flashback during which she and Terezi save 12th Perigee's Eve.
