[Accepted]: John Egbert

[Third times the charm]

~Character Info~

Name: John Egbert
Series: Homestuck
Gender:Male
Age and year/Age and job: 14;Fourth year
Appearance: John is like your normal fourteen year old boy (no such thing, but just go with it, okay?). He’s on the shorter side with hair that just loves to stick out at odd angles and refuses to lay flat. He’s kind of scrawny, never really concentrating on muscle building. He has thick, black framed, rectangular glasses and a slight overbite. Lady killer right here guys.
Personality: John is well… John. He’s quite passive, usually doing as he’s told without thinking it through… Unless it’s for his own good, then he comes very, very suspicious. He’s an all around good guy, nice, kind of silly, and tries to be funny. Keyword; tries. One of those people that are unintentionally hilarious, but once they tell a joke, they fall flat. He loves playing practical jokes and doing junky magic tricks, although he isn’t very good at them.
He doesn’t always have an idea of what is going on and chooses to plunge headfirst into almost everything. He trusts people to a fault and wants everyone to get along, but push him too far and he’ll tell you to shove off. Second chances are okay though and easy to come by from him.
He is, for lack of a better term, kind of dorky. As stated above, he loves practical jokes and magic tricks. He also has a fancy for really bad movies. Like… Really bad movies. They’re awesome, okay? Shut up.
Canon history: John was a normal boy until he installed a game and the world ended. Kinda. Okay, yeah. A local apocalypse. This can explain it way better than I ever could -> mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/John_Egbert

~AU Info~

AU history: John grew up as a muggle boy in the state of Washington in the United States of America. Because his mothers absence (which he never really seemed to mind or question), his dad raised him. Creepy clowns harlequins and baked goods terrorized his childhood. Needless to say, it was very trying. In his spare time, he took a liking to playing the piano (very well I might add, although his specialty are haunting tunes) and watching really bad awesome movies. He thought his life was perfectly normal… Until weird things began to happen. Some days, he would look outside his window and it looked like there was nothing there; that his house was on a small plot of land, stuck in darkness. He disregarded this as just a trick of light and moved on. But that wasn’t the end of it. For a few years, he had been able to see and carry on a conversation with the ghost of his nanna. It was weird at first, but the had eventually gotten used to her shrouded riddles and rhymes (his rapper friend had prepared him for it in a way. Easier to deduce the strange words of his nanna after trying to figure out the strange speech patterns (“Ill beats”) of his friend).
When he was eleven, he had received a latter in the mail. Actualy, his dad did… And told his son that he had been accepted into a boarding school for pianists. Needless to say, John was excited-- Until his dad brought out the cake. He then locked himself in his room, complaining to his friends about the cake while his dad had picked up all of his supplies in Diagon Alley.
So, at the end of the summer, John caught a plane to England and arrived at Hogwarts (with some help from older, wiser people wizards). With only a mild shock (“What do you MEAN this isn’t a pianists school?!?!”), John quickly got settled in to his new life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Not Pianists. His boggart would be baked goods. Cake, cupcakes, cookies, everything.
House: Gryffindor; He’s stupidly brave and will try to help his friends no matter what the cost. He can take control of situations buuuuut… usually without thinking it through first. He gets into trouble unintentionally and won’t hesitate to break a few (only a few!) rules if the situation calls for it.
Magical Strengths and Weaknesses: John’s kind of really mediocre in all of his classes- except for charms in which he excels because it reminds him of all the dinky magic tricks he used to do when he thought he was normal a muggle. He’s also rather good at flying, but usually opts for more speed than control, so crashing into things is normal for him.
Wand: A thing 10 inch wand made of willow with a core infused with the feather of a griffon.
Other: He tends to write everything in blue. and forgoes punctuation and grammar at times.
His patronus is a rabbit; pretty much a Velveteen Rabbit; it looks worse for wear, but... Yeah, that's it. It looks pretty bad. But hey! If it gets the job done, it gets the job done.

~Sample~

Flying. Flying was serious. Serious business, man! Serious. John leaned forward, shifting his weight ever so slightly, causing the broom to gain speed slowly but surely. Easier than anticipated! Flying was a breeze! Ha! That was a joke! Get it?! Get it? Cause you know... Flying's a breeze and wind and breezes and oh man, that was a good one. Now just to look back up and WHOA-- How did that tree get--?!
John's train of that came crashing down (ha! Get ready for it...) as he crashed (Told you! Awesome joke delivery!) into the tree with a thud as he fell off the broomstick and promptly hit the ground. That… Okay, that wasn’t as funny as the jokes he had just delivered, but it had to have some comedic value, right? John stood up, whipping out a crumpled piece of paper and a blue pen. He took the cap off the pen with his teeth as he unfolded the piece of paper.

“two jokes and a classic fly into tree bit”

He stuffed the paper back into his pocket and grabbed his broom. He couldn’t wait to tell his friends! They’d all be so amazed at his hilarious jokes they’d be positively speechless!
