...Wait, we're now opening a third Homestuck RP thread?!...you guys are really leaving me out of the loop...did we already finish the main story while I was busy doing nothing then?

Nah, this one ties in to a side-arc of the Trollplaying game. Barely.

Part-Time Omen of Death
Hmm, I may have to get in on this one if I can come up with a character. Brainstorming assistance welcome; it's how I came up with my deadtroll character for the other one.
Stupid doomed timeline...

So shall I put you down on the player list, Ozzy?
"Teebs is a total grump, but he's usually right." - NLK
Part-Time Omen of Death
Sure, as long as I have a bit of time to come up with my character. 
kingslayer
- Codename/Screenname: Berry/deafendDelinqent
- Species: Alternian
- Power: Immortality
- Personality: No longer the cheery psychopath she once was, Berry is now just a psychopath. Not entirely sane, thanks to years spent floating in space with no one for company but a fear-eater for company. Not that she was sane before that, but it didn't do her any favors. Devoted to Lord English, at times almost fanatically.
- Weapon of Choice: Her chainspear, but she keeps a pistol on hand for situations that the chainspear doesn't work well in.
- Other: The last surviving Alternian in this timeline. See the Trollplaying and trollplaying discussion threads for the full backstory of e!Neemea.
^ sure thing. The RP proper won't start for a couple days.

Funny but not helpful
- Codename: Julep
- Screenname: impudentScourer
- Species: Moonian. Duder must be a green torso.
- Power: People around him have lessened suspicions; Secondary power - always smells nice.
- Personality: Maybe too forward, too familiar, too snarky with people. You might say that he's too fresh. Aside from being out-going, he is also suspicious of everything: People, things, places, gravity, muddles. A mostly harmless kook.
- Weapon(s) of choice: Handgun. Spear mint.
- Other: Go-to guy for cleanup among the Ferns. Knows how to get rid of a body, dispose of evidence or hide a crime leaving only a slightly minty smell.
- Not really muscle but can hold his own in a fight.
- Originally joined the Ferns for monetary reasons. He wanted to make a mint.
- A neat freak.
- Somewhat of a drinker between missions. Is actually less paranoid while drinking.

A thought occurs. Or two.
One, the servants of Lord English should probably have a higher incidence of time-related powers. Two, it's cyberpunk and they're servants of a demon, so everyone has the capacity to have two powers. Preferably one time-related and one flowerlanguagethemed.
The comics equivalent of PTSD.

Thing is, having weird time shit for powers raises problems in that godmodding can be very easily done, with the perfect in-game explanation.
And you can have more than one power, but the extra powers need to be minor.

I will add to this once I've come up with a screenname and all, but it's a start:
- Codename;Screename: Rosemary, eideticExplorer
- Species: Prospitian
- Power: Perfect memory
- Personality: Generally friendly but has a tendency to hold grudges very easily since she never forgets anything. Good at snooping, enjoys gossip.
- Weapon(s) of choice: Anything small and easily concealed.
- Other: Rather nondescript-looking (think "average for her species"). Especially useful for any sort of infiltration mission because she can memorize building plans and remember whatever she overhears. Prefers to only use her weapon if she's caught and in trouble.
Let me know if I should modify this.

Nah, this one ties in to a side-arc of the Trollplaying game. Barely.To be more specific, one of the PCs in this RP canonically exists in the troll RP as an alternate universe evil duplicate of one of those trolls. The RP takes place in the universe that character comes from.
That's it.

I'd like to make some changes to my character. Make her easier to play, fit in more, and less likely to be manhandled by me into a Mary Sue.
- Codename: Poppy, bloomingPrncss
- Species: Time demon
- Power: Can put people to sleep. Also can turn into the equivolent of an eight year old of any species.
- Personality: Spacy and mildmannered. Sees herself as a 'princess'. Everyone else sees her as spoiled. Usually acts by using her powers to disable opposition. Has a cruel streak. Doesn't see anything wrong with what the Fern does.
- Weapon(s) of choice: Not a fighter.
- Other: LE's daughter. Currently looks human, long black hair, pale, eyes completely red. Never shows her true form. Daddy taught her well!

Oh jegus, did you take what a certain individual said last night seriously? He only meant to say that, at face value, with some of the common traits your characters share, they can come off as sue-ish in description, and in the hands of a lesser R Per, could actually become Sues. But they aren't Sues and you're too good to let them be Sues.
Bluh.
"Teebs is a total grump, but he's usually right." - NLK
Yeah, I know. But I still wanted to tweak her...hmm...I'm going to tweak her a little more, get her somewhere in between.
Alright, I think I got her good. And yeah, I know that person meant that I can pull them off not-sueish. But my own instincts were whispering at me, and I listen to them.

What were the major changes?
Also, Teebs, you should consider advertising in the MSPA thread.

Well, I need to change her username, for one.
"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - Narbonic
- Codename: Hortensia
- Screenname: inclmntPragmatst
- Species: Moonian
- Power: Cryokinesis
- Personality: Completely amoral, he would just as soon rescue a puppy as kick it in order to get what he wants. Extremely selfish, cares only about himself. He is incredibly arrogant, holds the utmost confidence in his abilities, and revels in his perceived superiority. Indifferent to the wellbeing of others. Ruthless and persistent in the pursuit of his goals.
- Weapon(s) of choice: Flamethrower (he's fully aware of the irony, it's exactly why he uses it), revolver. Decently proficient with various other firearms.
- Other: One of the first members of the Ferns. Excels in crowd control, but don't get the wrong idea; he's definitely not dumb muscle. Takes missions very seriously.
- Rather tall by Moonian standards.
- He and Poppy are close, but he feels little real affection for her; he believes that being on her good side will get him more power.

Sure, I'll join. Character forthcoming I guess.
Do or do not, there is no try.
Smooth as a Skunk
Codename: Lotus
Screename: weaklingKingpin
Species: ???, always wears green full-body armor to hide the fact that he is the White King
Power: Minor mind-clouding ability
Personality: Despises the cowardly, and proclaims himself their judge; will strike to kill anyone who commits an act of cowardice in his presence. Attempts to act as commander in combat situations, but tends to abandon real planning and strategy in favor of all-out attacks. Outside of combat, seems to be constantly distracted and searching for something and will comb the same room multiple times consecutively, apparently out of habit.
Weapon of choice: Regisword

Go away.
- Codename: Creeper
- Screename: photosynParadox
- Species: Time demon, of a less powerful variation.
- Power: Summoning paradox versions of himself from further down or from earlier up on the timeline which degrade into slime rather quickly, storing PARADOX WISPS for Lord English *.
- Personality: He can be a bit hard to follow, and is not very engaging in conversation. He isn't friendly or unfriendly, one may say he's just completely disinterested in most things except his job. Not to say he doesn't show good manners.
- Weapon(s) of choice: Shears and a trovel.
- Other: He is never seen without a tuxedo. He is mostly seen maintaining the garden around Poppy's house. Keeping an eye on her, and what not.

The only problem I see is that Kat playing a time demon was a special exception. Unless you mean a green torso like a Felt but I think we're calling them Moonians.
Also, we're trying for powers and personalities derived from plant/flower language instead of time based.
For example, I decided my guy is the cleaner of the group, like Winston Wolf Teebs said, since mint was used in the past to cover up dead people scent. His name and his drinking habit are derived from Mint Juleps. His suspicious nature comes from the Mints meaning in plant language and the way his power lessens other people's suspicions comes from the use of mint in aromatherapy for relaxation. His personality trait of being too forward comes from a truly terrible pun as does his use of a spear.

Go away.
1. The 'Creeper' thing comes from weaving in and 'infesting' a current spot in the timeline with alternate and past versions, much like infestations of creeper plants can 'choke' trees/other plants.
2. Yes, I did mean 'Moonian', but 'Moonian' sounds INEXCUSABLY SILLY.
3. The paradox thing would be hard to make sense of, I admit, but it isn't a power so much as a function (like how Stitch repaired Lord English's Cairo Overcoat, but in a less hands-on way). You see, paradoxes are like tangles in space-time...and creeper vines make tangles...okay, that one's Insane Mister Always Logic, but, eh, I like it.
Also, by irony, he has to keep the garden free of creeper plants. Velly ironic!

Post here if you desire to join the third installment in the Homestuck RP "storyline". Its only loosely connected to the first two, though, as it focuses on the Felt-analogues The Fern.
Some setting notes- this is set on an Alternia that has been rebuilt after the Reckoning by the combined efforts of surviving Prospitians and Dersians. It has been rebuilt to the point of being a society with considerable technological advancement. (Re: cyberpunk) The planet is ruled over by a number of corporations and criminal organizations. Players join as a member of the Ferns, one of the leading criminal organizations on the planet.
Useful notes-
The Ferns have plant-based codenames, which represent their power or personality or both. This list is very helpful.
The RP will take up to 9 PCs.
We will use the IM client AIM to do a lot of the in-person roleplaying for this game. Create an AIM account specifically for your character, and add that on to your profile. If possible, use the Homestuck-style screenaming. Ex: deafenedDelinquent.
Use this form for your character:
- Codename;Screename:
- Species: (Dersian, Prospitian, Moonian[Moonians are green creatures from Alternia's moon. Basically, they look like the Felt's species])
- Power: (Powers aren't a necessity)
- Personality:
- Weapon(s) of choice: (Weapons aren't a necessity either)
- Other:
