CHARACTER
Character Name: The Psiioniic
Canon: Homestuck
Timeline: During his service as the Helmsman, but before his death.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: Psiioniic is both similar and dissimilar to his descendant (and clone), Sollux. The two are extremely similar, but due to living in different times and in different circumstances, the two have developed differently.

One of the traits he shares with Sollux is duality. He didn’t spend quite as much time over come with self-loathing once he freed himself from bondage, but he was still remarkably temperamental, and it didn’t take much to send him into a fit of rage. Despite these fits, he was still mostly nonviolent, and he did believe that kindness is a good way to rebel. While his snarkiness and snippiness might not have automatically translated to some as kindness, he preferred teasing (not always as gentle as it could be) and playful barbs versus the cloying sweetness of his cohorts. He has a different brand of affection, and he likes it that way.

Not to say he never disliked anyone, and not to say he’s never got upset or depressed. Psiioniic could be overcome with bitterness, and an unbearable amount of anger and rage towards the hierarchy of Alternia, and the oppression faced by so called “low”blood trolls. Sometimes, though the occasions became rarer and rarer, he was so overcome by his loathing and despair he would doubt the success of the rebellion the Signless was leading, and he couldn’t help but dwell on how futile dismantling the caste system seemed to be. He learned how to drag himself out of these bleak moments, due mostly to the kind, yet stern, teachings of the Dolorosa.

He is remarkably stubborn, and was never one to back down from a fight. Of course, not all fights are or were serious, and he didn’t always pick his battles wisely. He would always react poorly to losing, whether it was a fist fight or a battle of wits, and he would spend hours or days sulking over it. (He insisted it wasn’t sulking, but he’d occasionally spend hours imagining how it they should have gone and how it was unfair, so on and so forth.)

While he does snark, and insults and jabs coming to him quite naturally, he’s not really the best at talking about things like gratitude or how he feels (without being sarcastic, at least). He prefers to show affection with things like small gifts or notes. Anything he can leave with the person and then leave without having to see their reaction first hand. He’s not shy, really, just easily flustered and always afraid that people will react negatively to his sincerity. It’s one of the few nasty thoughts that appears for him most often – that everyone secretly hates him and wants him gone. That’s why he’s hesitant to be sincere or kind in the first place, as he believes it will help the pain of losing them be less severe. He’s afraid of losing everyone he holds dear, because it’s always been such a very real possibility. He’s had to prevent himself from becoming close to other slaves, and holding friendships isn’t something he could say he’s very skilled at. He tries, though, even if he doesn’t find himself very successful.

It all didn’t help, though. He lost everyone who mattered to him, and was taken by Her Imperious Condescension. He was locked inside of, and has centuries and millennia of anger and bitterness to get out of his system as soon as possible so he can get back to normal.

History: The Psiioniic was raised a slave, which was common for trolls of his blood color and of his psychic abilities, and for the time he was raised in. He was one of the strongest psychics at the time, but he managed to keep the full extent of his powers unknown to the slave keepers as he worked. The labor was still hard, and his life was still incredibly painful and filled with suffering. After all, he was a yellow blood. There were two castes below him, yes, but there were eight above him. He had to serve them, and his psionic abilities were useful, but they were not the only ones he had. He could hear the voices of the dying sometimes. Not the dead, no, but the voices of those that were well on the way to their graves. It was something he tried to ignore, because his masters didn’t like him pausing in his work to think on the voices he heard.

It wouldn’t be his abilities, or his curses as he would sometimes call them, that would inspire him to escape from his life of bondage. It would be a troll, who wasn’t even on the hemospectrum - a mutant, with blood that was far too red to be natural, and who had no sign. The Signless, or Sufferer as he would later be known to his followers, before being erased from history completely, had radical ideas of equality between bloods, that color should not dictate someone’s worth in society. These ideas were so absurd, and so just plain impossible, that any sane troll should have ignored him. But the Psiioniic was intrigued. He couldn’t deny that freedom and equality were appealing, something that he had longed for, and he escaped from slavery to join the troll without a sign and the jade blood troll who had raised him from grubhood, who was known as the Dolorosa. There was also a green blooded troll called the Disciple, who wrote down all of the Signless’ visions and teachings.

Together, the four trolls travelled Alternia, spreading the Signless’ message of acceptance and equality. Not all trolls were accepting, but some were. They were sparking a rebellion. Alternia was almost on the brink of a revolution. Displeased, the Empress lashed out. The four were captured, and split up. The Signless was publicly tortured and executed, earning the name Sufferer, and the Disciple was to be executed as well, but the executioner showed mercy on her and she fled with the remains of Signless’ clothing. The Dolorosa was sold into slavery. And the Psiioniic went into service for Her Imperious Condescension herself. During his time with the Signless’ group, he proved his power again and again. He caught the attention of the Empress. So instead of going to work for just any other highblood, Her Imperious Condescension chose him to work as her Helmsmen, so he would power her battleship. This made it the fastest in the fleet, and she thanked him by gifting him with life.

He wasn’t supposed to live more than forty or fifty sweeps, and now he’s lived for several hundred as a living spaceship.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Extremely powerful psychic, so he is mentally strong as far as intelligence goes. He can be rather emotionally unstable, and is physically weak compared to other trolls. He is still stronger, or at least more durable, than a human.

Abilities: Psionics – includes telekinesis. He can mentally lift and move very large objects at high speeds with some exertion, power a fully functioning battleship, shoot energy blasts, and hear the voices of those pre-death as a sort of auditory vision/hallucination.

Relationships to Canon Characters: Sollux Captor: Psiioniic’s descendent, and his paradox clone. They are essentially the same person.

The Signless/Sufferer: A troll that led a rebellion for equality. He inspired the Psiioniic to escape from slavery. They travelled and lived together and were extremely close.

The Dolorosa: A friend of the Psiioniic’s, they travelled together with the Signless.

The Disciple: Another close friend. She was in love with the Signless, and travelled with him and the rest of his posse.

Her Imperious Condescension: The empress of Alternia, and bane of Psiioniic’s existence. She is directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of all of his friends, and grafted him into her ship and extended his life far, far beyond its natural life span.

First Person: Requesting information on location.
I am Helmsman of Battleship Condescension.
I am a part of the Alternian fleet and I cannot sense any others.

Third Person: There is something to say about being about to use your limbs. It’s something people take for granted, he’s sure. Being able to sit down and wiggle your toes and just simple, silly things like that. Things that pretty much anyone can do, but that he hadn’t done in…

He wasn’t even sure how long it had been. He wasn’t sure when sweeps had stopped meaning anything, and time meant nothing anymore. After a while, everything started running together, just a never ending mash of space and flight and pain.

For now, though, he could focus on the little things. Like his toes! He hadn’t seen his toes in so long. He had almost forgotten what toes looked like. He had definitely had forgotten what grass felt like, considering the ship was half-flooded. The Psiioniic – and it was so good to call himself that, because he wasn’t the Helmsman anymore, was he? There was no ship for him to be the helm of, anymore… The Psiioniic curled his toes in the grass, and grinned to himself. He was happy for now. He had gotten over the initial fear and confusion of being in this city with its squishy pink residents.

He had plans today, with these squishy pink residents. Well, these plans were just waiting for one of those residents to come talk to him so he could interrogate them on their way of life, because he found them to be endlessly fascinating.

NOTE: in the personality section I missed a word! It should read "He was locked inside of himself, and has centuries and millennia of anger and bitterness to get out of his system as soon as possible so he can get back to normal."

It's a small thing, but it might help the section make more sense. /ollies out.
