The trolls' Jack died right? Spades died in one of the timelines in Scratch's apartment.
WV died and then lifey powers.
Bec is more or less destroyed as far as his mental condition is comcerned, and he doesn't really have a body either. He only sort of lives on in Noir and Jade's ears and woofing.
The reader is the guy from jailbreak I think and he definitely died.

Nope, he's fine in Hussie's study.

E: Oh, that Jack. Nevermind then.

I think he was confirmed as being only mostly dead.

I think it might be implied that the troll instance of every carapace we know from the kids' session who wasn't also exiled by the trolls is also dead, although we can't be certain that they exist in every timeline. I have a pet theory that says WV exists in every session, and is virtually always destined to lose (since Derse is always destined to win on the battlefield, in order to start the Reckoning, and the session proceeded normally on the battlefield until Jack killed BK). Part of the mythology of the game, you see; a heroic figure in carapace history, and a token demonstration that black carapaces are Not Always Evil.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Combination of quest slab and GT rezz, actually.

Thats debatable.

What part about that is debatable? They ascended after the initial explosion and afterwards they kept resurrecting because of lame deaths.

Did they keep dying in the green sun?

... How long were they being incinerated to ashes and dying for?

I'm not guessing they did, it would have been mentioned. I'm betting that there is a post-resurrection-invincibility period for God-Tiers (aka the Megaman Effect)

Since the green sun is in the nebulous area outside the time stream, I'm gonna have to go with 'forever instantaneously.'

I'm siding with Blade here in that they didn't keep dying forever, mostly because if I was experiencing the pain of being burned for thousands of years, I don't think I would return not only physically intact, but also Mentally intact. I definately wouldn't just shrug it off like it was nothing.

Granted, if you were in the middle of the sun I don't think you would even have time to feel pain. Might have just had a microsecond of consciousness then immediately dead.

10. green sun rez (or whatever it was dave & rose used in cascade)

Quest slab is what happened there.

Seriously try and list off all the characters in Homestuck who DIDN'T die off the top of your head.
Off the top of my head there's Jack, PM, WV, LE, GC, maybe Bec, MS Paint, and the reader.

E: Actually if LE is Caliborn then he's disqualified on account of Calliope's dreamself dying.

Yea, my headcanon is they were repeatedly burning to death in terrible agony for millions of years while slowly rising upwards, and god-tier-ness somehow deleted the psychological effects leaving only the abstract knowledge.

Then why were they glowing when they Rose Up out of the Sun? Same reason John was glowing when he resurrected: They were doing that thing where your sprite flashes so you know you're invulnerable for a bit.

Or it could be for the same reason that John was glowing when he resurrected: because they were just resurrected.
