Character Age: 23
Character Species: Cloned Human to God to Concept
Character Canon: Homestuck :C
CRAU: N/A
Canon Point: Beyond Canon after he hangs himself publicly because i gotta reclaim this shit

Per the Setting

Three Items: His shades, lil Cal, and his sword
Grounding Item: His shades
Canon Abilities & Skills: Power description here. But to boil it down: he can manipulate and destroy souls, split his own, has omnipresent abilities, can fly, and is conditionally immortal, and can only die via a "just" death essentially. He is a genius with artificial intelligence and robotics and is highly skilled with fighting particularly swords and close combat. Bro's a tank and can cut a meteor in half.
Glitched Abilities: He's going to have a lot of issues with keeping his soul in one piece because he will be obsessed with trying to "get out" of Daisy's system and will keep breaking himself to try. These glitches will absolutely manifest physically and cause him a lot of grief.

Mental Evaluation

General Morals: Dirk honestly doesn't have any real morals. He is emotionally detached and was raised completely void of societal pressures therefore seems to regard most moral issues as scientific observations rather than feeling personally impacted by them. He does have a deep sense of loyalty toward his friends and he believes strongly in pushing people to be the "best" versions of themselves. The only problem is that he doesn't really care how he gets them to that point or if they even want to get to that point.

Relationship to Trauma: Dirk essentially blames everything awful in his life on himself. He believes that he should be in control enough of his circumstances that he could have prevented bad things if only he had tried harder. Oddly, he isn't the sort to develop traditional signs of PTSD. Instead, he is burdened with guilt at feeling as though he had failed his friends or that he had failed by his on his own terms. He is hypercritical of himself and will actively hold his own mistakes against himself indefinitely.

As for other people's trauma, he doesn't show much empathy or compassion. He isn't the most emotionally supportive person in the world although he does try to extend a willingness to listen for friends. He struggles with not being overly critical of how other people feel about things, and he is one of those guys who wants to try and fix your problems rather than just listen to them. He can get overly involved in other people's interpersonal relationships and issues and usually winds up making them worse. In other words? Dirk is highly likely to traumatize other people whether intentionally or not.

Points of Confusion: Dirk is completely prone to mental manipulation. This will hold true for the setting. However, Dirk will willingly act along with the whole situation and be vague about what he does or doesn't remember from his homeworld and personal experiences. He is going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what this situation is about, how much he is willing to risk, and the things that he is willing to do.

Effects from Daisy: Not too many, honestly, but he will be open to allowing her influence on him to get him to go places because he feels like it's a video game prompt and that he should do what she says to figure out more about this place. He really is about to treat this shit like a Bioshock game or something, in other words. He'll just keep his cards close to his chest and try to keep some emotional distance from others.
