Player information.
• Name: James
• Age: 32
• Contact:nathander at plurk
• Other characters: None
Character information.
• Character name: Dirk "Bro" Strider
• Canon: Homestuck
• Canon point: Bro is coming in shortly before his death at the hands of Jack Noir. Specifically, Bro is coming from right after Jack challenged him to a rematch and Bro proceeded to essentially slap Jack in the face with Lil Cal.
• Age: Word of God has Bro somewhere around his thirties. We'll put him at 35.
• Canon background: https://mspaintadventures.fandom.com/wiki/Dirk_Strider_(pre-scratch)
• Abilities: Bro has a pretty wide array of skills. Bro is a very competent melee fighter and a skilled enough swordsman that he was able to keep up with a powerful opponent in the form of Jack Noir throughout most of his battle with him. Bro also possesses a great deal of technical skill when it comes to electronics and programming, as Bro runs multiple websites and has programmed several high ai bots, such as an auto-responder and many of the bots he uses to drive up traffic on his sites, as well as the likely possibility that Bro was responsible for some of the more high-tech devices the Striders possess, such as his airboard and Dave's turntable and soundmixing equipment. Bro also possesses the ability to Flashstep, causing him to move at ludicrous speeds. Bro is so skilled at this technique that he actually leaves a movement trail behind, meaning that less skilled opponents who can't keep up with him end up fighting his vapor trail essentially.
He's also a pretty good puppeteer, I guess.
• Strengths:
Self-Aware - While Bro gives off the image of lacking any kind of self-awareness thanks to the layers and layers he buries everything he says and does under, Bro is actually hyper aware of who he is. He's aware of both his best and worst traits, and is at peace with his own understanding of them. In a way, Bro is perfectly self-actualized because of this.
Observant - Just as he's self-aware, Bro is very observant of the world and the people around him. He's quick to hone in on people's issues and behaviors, even if he himself doesn't behave in a way that'd be a logical response to them.
Talented - Bro possesses several talents, ranging from puppetry to music to combat training to programming. Bro wields a diverse range of talents, and is generally pretty proud of them. Humility is incredibly fucking lame, as far as Bro is concerned.
Devoted - Bro is devoted to the family that he has in his little brother Dave and in the Lalondes, Rose and Roxy. Bro puts the needs and concerns of his family above anything else, and his family is one of the few things that would cause him to become self-sacrificing. His family and their well-being ultimately mean more to him than his own.
Brave - In a fight, or when danger calls, Bro is damn near fearless. Unless other business needs to get under way, the dude does not back down or run from a fight. That's just not how a Strider rolls their business.
• Weaknesses:
Cold - Bro doesn't have time for anyone who isn't family. Be it either because Bro on his own is just a cold motherfucker, or the fact that Bro possesses knowledge that his world was going to end in his lifetime, Bro doesn't open up to other people. He isn't inherently hostile to other people. He just doesn't see a reason to become overly involved in the lives of thosewho have nothing to do with him. While he loves this family, it can also extend to his family, such as how brutally he trained Dave for Sburb/the end of the world, with much of this 'training' moving into abusive territory, such as denying Dave food for days and forcing Dave to fight him in brutal sparring matches.
Obsessive - Bro's pursuits tend to also be obsessions. Irony, puppetry, and being a badass aren't just hobbies or things that Bro does. They're literally his life. The biggest obsession that happens to be Bro's life also happens to be Bro's little brother, Dave, and preparing Dave for the world he'll create and his own belief, and desire to prove that Dave is, a hero.
Inconsiderate - Bro is a generally pretty inconsiderate guy. While Bro is good at reading people, he is in most cases fucking awful at interacting with people. Bro likes what Bro likes, wants what Bro wants, and does whatever Bro wants to. People not liking that is a problem for other people, not for Bro.
Nihilistic - Due to his own powers of observation and awareness the world was going to end, Bro doesn't take much aside from his hobbies and training Dave seriously. Most other shit around him is frivolous, and unless it's an immediate danger, it doesn't really matter all that much.
• Nightmares:
Dave dying. Failing Dave. Dave not reaching his full potential. Dave giving up. Because in Bro's mind, all these things couldn't be anything other than his own fault.
