All right, so. I'm putting this here because I know Homestuck and its characters can be a real eyesore! So this is proving as a Permissions Post, so that you and any of your characters can opt out of any and all things John might do that would be offensive or otherwise problematic to you or your characters, for any reason or for no reason at all. :>

You can opt out, firstly, of his typing quirk! john types with no capitalization, but otherwise uses perfect syntax and punctuation, in this lovely shade of blue courier. he sometimes gets A LITTLE EXCITED and types in caps, and sometimes he'll /sigh use backslash action brackets to denote he's doing something. he will use emoticons every so often, too! :B As was brought to my attention by a few people (thank you, guys!), John can't actually type in Luceti-- I knew this, but for some reason didn't make the correlation properly, so! His writing is just probably gonna be in blue and he's not gonna use any caps. This changes the opting out just a little, but I'm still willing to work with anybody that isn't okay with any aspect of it. The ways to opt out are a.) opting out of written responses entirely, as John has shown in canon that he doesn't capitalize hand-written things, either, or b.) just opting out of the blue color. Just let me know!

Secondly, John is basically going to fourth wall the entire game if he's not told to stop. He has, in canon, watched Doctor Who and played The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and has an endless tome of pop culture references from movies and television shows. He's a huge nerd that loves comics, games, cinema, and everything else media-related. So it is safe to assume that anything, game/movie/television series or otherwise that came out before April 13, 2009, is something he will be familiar with. Example; he will know that Draco Malfoy is the slimy ferret git from the book series Harry Potter. This is your chance to let me know if you are not comfortable with John knowing this! He will have a convenient memory lapse of your character being from their respective canon if this is the case. Just let me know here!

The font is blue. I'm ok with pretty blue fonts and the quirks, long as it's the whatever default font DW has and nothing fancier lol. Also, a-ok with 4th walling.

This will apply to Alexei (fallenambitions), Yui (bigsiskonagi), Kazuma (moezama), and Roku (flameoroku). Pretty sure he'd be familiar with at least three of the four canons I play from lol since they're pretty popular/well-known. Course, if you ever need clarity with canon stuff, you know how to reach me.

Not to be confused with the pen is blue.

He's probably not played Vesperia, since he's more of a western gamer than a JRPGer, but he will likely at least in passing know Kazuma and Roku? I'll have to check the American release dates of Blazblue. I doubt he'll know Yui, though-- he doesn't really seem like the type to read shoujo manga. XD

[moezama]

Ah um, Blazblue came out in the Summer of '09. Before that it was actually in a few US arcades in the fall of '08. Though in Kazuma's case, his character wasn't actually introduced until 2011. So he's free to assume he's "that other green hair man in the snazzy suit".

Yui's manga is actually in the Seinen genre o7. Least that's what it says when I looked up Yumekui Merry. But again, it's kinda obscure manga, so I kinda expect John not knowing her canon at least XD.

And Avatar aired between '05-'08, so yea probably would be somewhat familiar with Roku.

Alexei...well, he can atleast admire his knighthood XD

[greenghost]

Summer of 09, John wouldn't know it. Earth kind of ceased to exist on his birthday in 2009. /)__(\;;

Rofl yeah.

Avatar he'd know, totes.

...and he can just admire Alexei's boots or something, there just won't be fourthwalling there. :>
