Character Name: The Signless (AU name: Khepri Vantas) Canon Name: Homestuck Brief History: An alien who is like the unholy allegorical child of Jesus and Moses. A mutant and outcast from his own (hyper-violent and striated) society who was like 'Hey, guys, maybe we could not murder and enslave each other, and also maybe we could stop judging each others' worth based solely on what color blood we were born with (out of a possible 12)'. He lead a philosophical uprising based around this idea, and then was super duper executed for it. Yay!
AU Ideas: So, I know on the test-drive meme I mentioned him being from Caldera, but I've actually decided to nix that and go with Refuge instead. The other citizens of Refuge would take the place of the lowbloods in the society he comes from: the fearful and disenfranchised of the world, who spend a heck of a lot of time hoping they don't get struck down by someone else's wrath.
My idea for him specifically is that he was orphaned at a young age and raised by an adoptive mother (as per canon), and the older he got the more he thought the constant fear and hiding and prayers were mostly just making everyone needlessly depressed. He began to voice ideas like 'hey, guys, maybe we shouldn't constantly be apologizing because of stuff that happened a super long time ago? also maybe we can leave the caverns and live safely in the world again so long as we live our lives nonviolently and with respect for things that aren't us????'. Much like in canon he went against established societal norms (and what passed for Refuge religion) in pioneering a new radical philosophy based around compassion and the idea that everyone has the potential to be a good person. Eventually this caught on due to his skills as an orator, and he led a small like-minded group of people up and out of the caves entirely.
Potentially he'd already secretly been venturing up and out beforehand and came back with amazing stories of how nice stuff was aboveground? In canon he lived much of his life traveling on foot around a dangerous wilderness other trolls were afraid to go, and since he'd be a Kindred Soul I can see him being less likely to be attacked outside of the caves.
At any rate they went on a magical mystery tour of the surface world and eventually wound up in Union! Huzzah.
Looking For: Anything, really! Especially someone to get him really entrenched in the current goings-on with Gigas, which he would definitely latch onto as Not Okay And Something To Be Fixed. If there's anyone else from Refuge currently in-game, perhaps we could work out some backstory?
