ROLL TO STRIFE
A Homestuck Inspired Roll to Dodge
You and your five friends have all been anxiously awaiting the arrival of your beta copies of the game SBURB. They’ve finally shown up, and you are excitedly waiting for it to install so you can see if all the good reviews have been truthful. You client program launches, and you wait for your partner to connect...
WELCOME to ROLL to STRIFE! This is a ROLL to DODGE based on HOMESTUCK, as one could probably GUESS. The GOAL of this GAME is but a SIMPLE one.
SURVIVE!
So, really, we’ll just assume you know what you’re doing here. Actions must be posted within 24 hours of the last turn, and, once in the Medium, posts should include one or more actions as a server player, and one or two actions on your own. You also have PesterChum at your disposal, which can help a lot! Good luck, and let us begin!
Actions written as: >[CHARACTER NAME]: [ACTION] (or => to do nothing)
Pesterchum is a little confusing in a forum game, so here's how it will work:
1. In you action, if you wish to Pester someone, make your action:
PLAYER: Pester PLAYER B
2. Then, under a spoiler with your action, write your message:
PLAYER: hey PLAYER B, what are you doing with my toilet?
3. The player you messaged can respond in their next action, like so:
PLAYER B: Answer PLAYER
4. PLAYER B would quote PLAYERS message, and then respond with their own:
PLAYER B: "QUOTE FROM PLAYER" Im Simply Making Some Adjustments
MAKE SURE TO USE YOUR CHOSEN TYPING QUIRK!
Player A > B > C > D > E > F > A

M/F:F
Age: 13 (please do not change this)
Fetch Modus: Ouija.
Typing Quirk:Capitalize Every Word.
Shirt Symbol:A Equilateral Triangle.

Name: Madison Turner
Chumhandle: athleticCactuar
M/F: Female
Age: 13
Fetch Modus: Ouija
Typing Quirk: Madison never uses caps and tends to forget about commas. Otherwise she types mostly normal with few misspellings, but if the person she's talking to takes a long time to respond for whatever reason she'll start fidgeting, which usually means typing something like '*Maddy spins a basketball on one finger.' or '*Maddy does the robot.' in an effort to get them to hurry up and say something.
Shirt Symbol: A red and silver bell.
Appearance: Maddy has a normal complexion, with a lot of freckles along the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are a light blue. Her hair is a very deep golden blonde and worn in a waist-length french braid that is almost always carried over her right shoulder. She's a little short for her age but is not particularly fat or skinny - just the right weight for her size, with maybe a little more muscle than most girls have. As for clothing, she's wearing a blue A-shirt, blue basketball shorts that reach to just below the knee, white socks, and white sneakers with red trim.
Short Bio: Maddy lives on a small, isolated compound in the Tule Desert with her older brother. Although he's a total basement-dweller who presumably earns his living by telecommuting or some other job he can do over the internet, she's more of a fitness freak who prefers to spend her time out in the desert sun exercising. Her favorite thing to do outside is practice playing basketball, although she can also be found swimming laps in the pool or taking long runs around the compound.
Her non-athletic interests include romantic books and movies, playing video games with the few friends she has online, horror movies, wrestling, and collecting moogle dolls. As for her personality, she's competitive but kind-hearted and loyal. She's a daredevil willing to take big risks for big rewards, and she has a somewhat teasing, trollish nature - she loves to get under her friends' skin by making flirtatious remarks. An optimistic and extroverted girl, Madison tends to want to take the lead in every situation, and is constantly on the go.

Short Bio: His name is RODION and he is 13 YEARS OLD. He is also the UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OF A SLEEPING DISORDER. He is most often TERRIBLY SLEEPY AND CONFUSED, but occasionally has TEMPORARY PHASES OF LUCIDITY as well. He lives with his MOTHER, an ECCENTRIC SCIENTIST in THE MIDDLE OF FREAKING NOWHERE, beyond the Arctic Circle, in a RESEARCH STATION OF SOME KIND. Unlike his mother, he has NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE THE SEVERAL-MONTH-LONG DAYS AND NIGHTS, so he suffers from excessive daytime sleepiness as well as insomnia during the night. This makes him one of the least consistent people you'll ever talk to. His mother frequently INFURIATES HIM by bothering him in the middle of the night with her LATEST REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS. His permanently confused state has given him AN APPRECIATION FOR SURREALIST ART, and his room is entirely filled with surrealist posters, movies, figurines and books. When not in his room dealing with his sleep problems, he sometimes likes to visit THE PRESERVED BRAIN OF HIS FATHER, which his mother has built SOME SORT OF CREEPY SHRINE for.

He lives with his dad, an office worker of some sort, who loves to go shooting at the local range- he gets dragged along every so often.
He's supposed to be the somewhat commonplace, generic, softhearted suburb dweller.
Name: Castor Davrameshi
Chumhandle: sacrificialValedictorian
M/F: Male
Age: 13
Fetch Modus: Miracle
Typing Quirk: Standard written english except only the first letter of a new sentence is capitalized, even if mentioning a proper noun.
Shirt Symbol: It appears to be a rather puffy white cloud with white-and-pink ears.
Appearance: Dark-tan skin, like wet sand, covered in freckles around the arms and shoulders and neck but not on his face. Hair that's so dark it's almost black that has a tendency to stick up on it's own. Hazel eyes; they tend to look green in the right light. Stout body with short legs, broad shoulders and a round face with big ears. He claims to have the perfect face for a goatee but I'll let you decide that one.
Short Bio: A young boy of Indian and Scottish decent (an odd mix) who rather enjoys Greek and Egyptian mythology, Castor lives in a quant little farm in New England which was once filled with chickens and sheep; now they have five sheep, a goat and two hens. Castor has always been at the top of his class and takes a Mythology elective and does very well in History and Math, however, has always struggled in Science. Nevertheless, his grades are excellent and he is a perfect teacher's pet. He is content to be on his own, however, does get lonely and go out in search of a friend every so often, which he'll talk to as if they'd known each other for years and then leave to never see them again; that being said, he isn't loyal at all and sees people his age as more venting-toys than people he can love and relate to. He has an older sister who he hasn't seen since she left for college two years ago, but he keeps in touch through E-mail. They aren't, nor have ever been, very close. Castor likes to think he has a great sense of humour. He does not.
