CHARACTER INFO
Name: Jack Noir
Gender: Male
Age: ??? immortal unaging alien chessrace
Source: Homestuck
Canon Point: The very start of the 3-year trip to the new session
CANON
History: Let me tell you about Homestuck...
Personality:
At his core, Jack is a very self-serving person. He dislikes being told what to do, especially when it clashes with his own goals (and fashion sense). He's an opportunist who will take what he can, when he can, but knows enough to shut up when the cards aren't in his favour. He utterly loathes his (former) rulers, insulting them behind their backs and neglecting his more tedious duties. He's sarcastic and hostile, definitely not someone you'd want to spend extended periods of time with, especially since he has some murderous tendencies. He isn't incapable of his own form of respect, however--he's not one to state his intentions aloud, but if you do him a favour or perform some action he approves of, you might find him more agreeable. Or at least less likely to kill you. Of course, if you're already on his shit list you'll have to suck up pretty hard to not get a knife to your throat. He has only a handful of truly loyal minions, but those who keep their loyalties to him are rewarded. To a point. Sorry 'bout that, Hegemonic Brute.
But most of all, Jack lives to fulfill his own goals, and anyone benefiting at all from his actions is just lucky. He cares only about himself, and he'll kill anyone who tries to stand in his way, whether they're his nemesis, a total stranger, or a close ally. Wreaking destruction comes naturally to him, he's destroyed entire planets and decimated his own armies just to ensure his victory. He killed his own King and Queen without hesitation, and even when his own loyal minions were slain he had very little reaction.
When you look past all the murderous intentions, genocide and omnipotence, though, Jack is really kind of immature. He's petty and bitter, he loves terrible puns, and he draws hideous doodles all over his paperwork. He's very quick to anger and throwing fits, even without his bullshit superpowers involved. In other universes he's been known to climb on top of shit and pretend he's driving a car/horse. Jack is also incredibly shortsighted at terrible at longterm planning. He never seemed to really know what to do with his godlike powers, and after acquiring them he basically just wandered around killing shit for no reason (until he encountered Jade and the prototyping-induced loyalty kicks in, but I'm not gonna get too far into that since prototypings and the urges that come with won't be all that relevant here). Even if the session hadn't been reset and Jack got to keep his powers and rule over the Incipisphere, he had no plan for maintaining his kingdom and would probably suck at it, unless his ultimate goal was changed to blowing everything up (which he would be damn good at).
Lastly, despite how obvious it is that he loathed his job and everything to do with it, Jack is actually a damn hard worker. He blatantly ignored a good chunk of his duties, but when it came to the stuff that counted he always made sure things ran smoothly. This is also part of the reason why he hated the Queen so much: for all his hard work, the only thanks she ever gave him was more shit to do on top of his important shit. Wow what a bitch.
INTO THE HEDGE
Seeming: Servant
Role: Wizened Overseer. He's the guy who supervises all the other servants to make sure they're doing their job. His job also includes filing reports and issuing tickets for infractions and telling the more burly overseer-types who they have to beat the shit out of. In others words, his job is being a huge tattletale.
This sounds like it'd be pretty goddamn awesome in terms of jobs to get stuck with as a changeling, but he was also responsible for any misbehaviour or errors he missed. If something went wrong that he didn't catch, he was punished just as harshly as those he reported on. Between a large house, a large workforce and Faerie's bizarre logic, getting everything that the Keeper would deem unacceptable was nearly impossible, of course.
Abilities:
His fingers are tipped with pens and he can write ten different things at once with great efficiency. He can transfer or erase anything he's written with his own hands. It's just a matter of rubbing it out (which leaves a smudge, but makes the writing completely illegible) or pressing two surfaces together.
He also has all of the (incredibly conflicting and largely nonsensical) rules of the house memorized, as well as the roles of all the servants (because how else would he know when they're fucking up?), including beasts that were given specific jobs (ex. guards) and limited knowledge of possessions, if they were something that would be used or maintained by servants often enough for him to care.
Description:
He looks mostly the same, from afar, if a tad more spindly and maybe somehow shorter (if that's even possible). It's when you look closely that things start seeming off about him. His body is still black and shiny, but touching him always leaves a bit of smudged ink, like he's coated with it at all times. His fingers are, of course, tipped with fancy inkwell pens. He refills them by licking because SURPRISE all of his bodily fluids are also ink. His eyes are still solid white and seem to glow slightly, like tiny searchlights judging your ever move.
His clothing is mostly the same in design, but instead of black his shirt is entirely purple and often covered with black writing. Upon further inspection, it's basically a giant shirt-shaped sheet of paper. He keeps notes on there when he lacks a proper notepad.
Reasoning:
He's the archagent of Derse, and this is basically what his job was about before except with more magical bullshit and no pay. Also he does the ticket writing himself now, because not allowed to sit in a comfy office all day.
MEMORIES
First Memory: Sitting in his big comfy office and probably drawing bitchy pictures about the Queen. More importantly, why doesn't he have a big comfy office anymore?
