Character Info: Name: Vriska Serket Age: Six sweeps (thirteen years) Canon: MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck Pull Point: In that brief half-second between dying and going God Tier
Background Info: History: Her biography on the MSPA wiki. Warning, non-linear timelines. Personality: "8luh 8luh huge 8itch."
To pair it down to a simple sentence, Vriska is a psychopathic bitch. The FLARP circle of destruction really highlights this perfectly: how she crippled Tavros just because she was bored. How she used Sollux to kill Aradia for Aradia getting revenge on Tavros. How she blinded Terezi and assumed she would be wandering until something killed her just because Terezi got revenge on what happened with Tavros and Aradia. Much of what she did in her life boiled down to two things: Feeding her lusus or fighting her boredom. Both ways, she did some nasty, nasty things.
But, as post-God Tier updates show, her huge bitch side is not all of her. She was certainly upset when her attempts to reconcile with Aradia fell through, and she felt bad when she killed Tavros after trying to help him get stronger. In fact, the reason why she was about to go fight Jack Noir was to protect all of her friends, even at the expense of her own life. While it might seem Vriska only cares about Vriska, she was more than ready to save everyone else's life. She is also incredibly hard on herself, calling her rather high blood color "enviable cerulean swill."
Luck is something Vriska believes a lot in. She believes that everything that has happened to her, from losing her eye and arm to something as simple as stepping on d4's are due to her bad luck. While it's more self-inflicted bad luck than the universe conspiring against her (the d4's, for instance, she could avoid by cleaning), it's still something she holds onto, believing she once held "all the luck" and now have lost it all.
Much like her spider lusus, she puts a lot of stock into manipulating others and being a great manipulator. But she's rather short-sighted in that regards, blindly allowing herself to be manipulated by Doc Scratch. While her psychic abilities are quite good at using people, making people do things that she wants, she's incredibly envious of Terezi and her ability to manipulate people without any psychic ability at all. She's trying to appear she's doing it all on her own wits and intelligence, throwing fits whenever people call her out on the use of her powers.
One thing to note, however, is she is a troll, and thus has a typing quirk. Her's is typing in her 8lood color, replacing all "8" sounds with the num8er, and streeeeeeeeaching vowels and punctu8on out to 8 when needing emphasis. ;;;;) 8ut when she's frustrated, m8re vowels get repl8ced 8y 8s almost rand8mly.
Game Specific: Arcana: Magician Justification: It's practically Vriska to a "t," for both upright and reverse. She's incredibly confident in herself and resourceful. But she tries to trick and manipulate everyone, abusing that power.
Samples: First Person Sample: Oh come on, here again? It 8arely gave me any time to even 8e home! You'd think this place would 8e a 8it more creative a8out how it plays with us.
It's kinda 8oring here, just lame old Prospero. Somewhere new would 8e fun. How a8out a Land of Fire and 8om8s? That would 8e a ton of fun to run through with a Persona. Or may8e Land of Water and Ships. Lusus and I would tear that place apart soooooooo fast. ::::)
Or how a8out letting us go home and just get our dum8 God Tier already? ::::(
Third Person Sample: "Oh come on!" Vriska threw aside the Medicine they found. "Laaaaaaaame. Where's all the good treasure? If we're going to go dungeon crawling, there better be some good treasure!"
For all her complaining (and it wasn't just a show. Vriska truly felt ripped off at the lack of good treasure), she knew this was the most fun she was going to have. The usual fighting of Shadows in Prospero's streets had lost its charm in the amount of time she'd been there. She needed more. More adventure, more danger, more fun. More shiny, shiny treasure and weapons. The dungeon was the best she could get, even if she had to go in with a party rather than alone and keep all the good stuff for herself.
Well, she was going to do that anyway. Lusus and Kaoru could go on their own to get it.
Vriska ignored the rest of her party, striding forward. "There better be something good down here," she called down the murky hallway. "Or else I'll be very upset."
