Associated Element: Glass. (Blown, Smoked, Quartz, basically tanslucent glassy shit)
Guardian: His dad.
Bluh. Opinion time. Verdigris is an option, and I think what I would have it be would be a more defense-first kind of side standing in between both sides to try and stop the war and
WAIT A MINUTE.
THIS COULD BE THE SIDE THAT OUR CHARACTERS ARE ON WHATTTTT
(I have such good ideas I should be a DM)
Also I think that wS will have scribblin'z on his wall, and he will DEFINITELY have a dreamself.

The greatest thing about it was how it wasn't the end of act 4.
Anyway Shroud/Lone/Attention-Deficit-Name-Changing-Disorder-Man, you should make a character and get in on this. I didn't know you like Homestuck.

It's not -actually- the end of Act 4, y'know. That was a psyche. An AWESOME one at that, though XD.
Also, considering recent revelations (That essentially EVERY session involves paradox clones and apparently just Derse and Prospit as sides...) Yeah. Again, I don't think involving the Felt as a third side is a good idea until we know what the hell they are canonically <<;
... Or maybe it's just the side of me that thinks that when doing fanworks for something you can't just completely flip the canon off. <<; I seem to be a minority in that sense.

It's not at all a question of flipping the canon off. Instead it's a question of finding ways to make this story different and intriguing rather than just going through exactly the same motions that the kids do. Hussie's described the mythology threaded through Sburb as "flexible" from session to session so I don't think we're somehow giving him the one-gun salute by shaking things up a little.

Fair enough, I guess, can't argue with that. I'm just wondering exactly HOW much is flexible.
I mean, we obviously all have our own planets/storylines/kernelsprite-prototypology/what have you. The trolls had their own too, as do the kids, but the underlying mythos remains the same: One Incipisphere with Skaia at its center and an orbiting Prospit around it - and Derse orbiting the Incipisphere itself, Prospit being protective over Skaia, Derse wanting to destroy Skaia for some reason or another, eternal war - the kings and their armies fighting on Skaia itself whilst the queens tend to the actual moons - and the purpose of the game itself being to build up to Skaia through the gates and solve some Ultimate Riddle or whatever - although this allows more minions from Derse to advance.
We already know that the kids' game is pretty non-standard even for SBURB standards thanks to Jade's present falling into the hands of Jack Noir who uses it to pretty much rape everything. But if the mythos was TOO flexible, how the hell would the Trolls, who are from a completely different session with different numbers of players etc, would know something went wrong in the Kids' game?
It's more that there are many ways to play a game - or for a game to take place - but the base variables are still the same. The CORE of the game so to speak is the same core. Same base storyline, different Bandicoot with different ways of getting there. And all the open-endedness the game itself has probably can't change that.

Yeah. I picked up on it right after I finished reading Problem Sleuth (which I discovered only because someone posted the link to the act III ending for Homestuck in the shoutbox, lol) and have been refreshing the page several times a day now to see if there's anything new XD
But yeah, this seems like it's going to be very fun, but might get a tad bit complicated as there is so many different possibilities. But it seems like that's what might just make this great. =)
Edit: Holy crap, I feel a tad stupid now. I just noticed that this is the 5th page, not the 1st. After I stop having to float on and off, I'll go and read through everything

IN RESPONSE TO EVERYTHING THAT CYONEX JUST SAID:
Yes, we all have the same bandicoot, but SBURB is like a game played over an Intranet. And because of that, it's all very different based on server and shit. Think about WoW. Not EVERYONE is a Tauren Hunter (But f*ck it feels like it), and they have many methods of getting about things. The core is a lot like a sandbox, and our characters have water to make it stick.
What changes between games is the tools the characters bring in. We get a base set, and a pre-organized play-field, but that doesn't mean we can't shake things up. In addition to that, think about ?WV. He started a revolution in John's. Did he do that in the troll's? Probably not, considering Jack Noir didn't kill shit right and left. But it's a possibility.
SO MAYBE our ?WV (equivalent) founds The Felt side, except it isn't known as that, but rather as some other thing. They wouldn't genetically re-engineer themselves, but maybe color themselves something else. Use mud or leaves or something. Maybe grey rock armor or something. But even if all we have to work with is the core, that's all the AI has, too. So when we're looking at the core being the base, we're less looking at a Jak & Daxter base, but more of a GTA or Assassin's Creed base, where there IS a storyline, but (some) variation in how to achieve the end result. I'd imagine it'd be to defeat the black side, but what if the black side was defeated by NO LONGER BEING A SIDE AT ALL?
Isn't not existing like being dead?
Food for thought.

Lord English being created by a freak ectobiology accident seems like a possibility to me. If he was created in the Veil by a freak accident that also gave him humongous power, he could crash a few meteors together to make his own planet out in the Veil. From there he creates the rest of the Felt and Verdigris citizens and wages warfare on both Prospit and Derse, in order to gain control of Skaia and use it to create his own world (rather than Skaia creating Earth over again)
Hell, if you want, go for 4 sides, and use the old DnD standbys; Good, Evil, Law and Chaos.

While I do like what you're proposing, I actually have an objection to it.
That being Cyonex's. We still don't know where The Felt fit in. Maybe Lord English is actually some huge other relevant thing, or maybe not. It could just be part of the Trolls' Exile-Verse.
In reference to what we said earlier, about a character that knows everything about the plot and stuff, I'd like to point at a part of my character's bio that I re-found.
This could give wS a reason to know things, but that's just me.
Also; It gives us an excuse to not make all our characters know each other, but it's totally possible.
Potentially they met each other through a SBURB Forums, and arranged to play a game with each other (strangely like this).

You're over-estimating Lord English' involvement.
We still don't know enough about him, and I doubt we ever will.
Personally, I think he's a seperate Exile. It makes the most sense.
(PS Kal, that is such a mary-sue trait)

@gallowscalibrator - I'm not saying he'd know EVERYTHING, but he could infer quite a bit from the game's coding. Like for example, when lines of code shift as soon as the game starts to account for the number of players involved. I'm not saying he'd instinctively know these things, but I think it's fair to assume he could infer things from the way the game's code works.
Also if what he does on computers is fuck around with programming all day while Anime streams in the background, I think that's an entirely fair thing for wS to do.
Also; One part of wS does not equal the whole of wS. That, my good sir, is a fallacy.
(Lol extended response to small comment)

Why don't we just start the RP earlier on, and work our way towards the bigger picture? If we don't need it straightened out for the earlier stuff, we're fine, no?

Strange that both forteHolder and tzolkenRoulette have this thing going where both of their titles alliterate with the letter "D" and both of their planets alliterate with the letter "M".
It's almost as if we were in fact preordained to be the DMs of this along with every other enterprise and that anyone else's efforts to the contrary are futile.
But I hope that's not true!

It could just be a fetish for alliteration, after all. Or Lee ripping off Photu.
