Okay, yeah... the first time around making this, I was fairly stupid on how this would work. But now, I've smartened up/matured.
This is based on the webcomic Homestuck. It's not required to read it, but this might be enjoyed better if you did.
Bulbastuck would be about a cross-session of S----- between humans, trolls, and, heck, even your own made up race of sentient beings, if you would want them. Whether this would be a successful session or not will depend on our actions in playing.
Before anything, let's just go over the two cannon races (not counting Cherubs. Next to none is known about them to even think about making fan characters based off of them, so they aren't allowed here) that have played S-----, as well as some original created races (you can submit your own too)
Now, onwards to how things will work:
First off, download Pesterchum/ChumDroid. It's a chatting program found here. Maybe all of us can chat in a memo, or person to person
Images could be made, if one would want, but it isn't required. Plain 'ol text works just as fine.
This may have blood and language sometime.
One character per person. If the character you are RP'in as a race you made, please post a description of the race as a whole.
Keep it PG-14 here. Killing is possibly okay, as long as you don't go to into detail or kill in a nasty way.
No god-nodding or flaming. Oh, and be careful not to make a sue character.
Have fun!

Thanks you all for stopping by and reading this. Hope you come and play.

Humans
(1. My set of sprites in my style. 2. Canon example)
Okay, I don't think I need to go into detail here. We're all human. Humans don't have naming patterns. Do we in real life? No. You can have any name as long as it sounds logical for a person to have. Humans play SBURB. They do not get fancy wings or anything. Sprites can be any skin color you want, or anon, and clothes can be colored, or they can be left sorta blank.
Trolls (Made by Andrew Hussie, author of Homestuck)
(1. Set I made. 2. Cannon)
Trolls are, more or less just violent people with horns, grey colored skin, and multicolored blood. They follow a 6 letter first name, 6 letter last name pattern in names. The game they play is SGRUB.
Now, I've learned the hard way, if you make a troll, it's going to have to follow at least some of the cannon:
1. Trolls cannot have black, white, rainbow, or invisible blood
2. Trolls are not fashionable creatures. They wear mostly black and grey colors. Higher blood color trolls seem to be a tiny bit more fashionable though.
3. Humans and trolls have different reproduction methods, meaning, no human-troll mutants.
4. All trolls must have a quirk.
5. They need a lusus (animal caretaker) of some sort
6. Any blood colored troll higher than indigo is a sea dweller (my example above is an odd case, heh)
7. No trolls the children of canon characters.
7a. By extension, no canon characters are allowed here.
8. The canon character, Ferefi (google if you don't know) has the highest colored blood, pink wise (which is the highest color on the blood color spectrum). Any character with pink-based blood will have to be a lower hue than her.
Avia (by me)
(How to use the base: minus the eyes, the first example to show up is your canvas. Example: use the blank beak you see on the sprite/the first one, and use it for reference size-wise. Bird you are basing your character off of have an unique beak? Use that one as a guide. You could use the eyes provided, or make your own, as long as they are bird-like)
Avia are a species that live on the planet Seirtone, in another universe seperate from Earth's and Alternia's. Neither of the latter mentioned universes or any session within them made it, it was probably created by a completely different race, like the troll's universe was made by another one. That doesn't stop similarities though. Aviaites can be compared to Earth's birds or Alternia's flying Lusii, as they have feathered wings that most, unless they are born flightless, allow them to fly. Their social class, if seen by an average human, would see it like this: Sorted from lowest to highest as the list goes on:
-Flightless and semi flightless (human example would be penguins, puffins, chicken, farm ducks, and etc.)
-Hunters/Workers (Human example would be any scavenger bird, like crow, vulture, bats, and etc.)
-Average (human example would be all the average birds you'd see in your yard, from robins, to pidgeons and bluejays.)
-Lean-wings (Human example would be birds of prey like eagles, albatrosses, hawks, and, surprisingly, hummingbirds)
-Royalty (Human example would be endangered or extinct birds)
There tends to be tension between the higher up classes and the low, much like the troll's have in their blood color, and the lesser example of humans and how they are classed by how much money they own. An example would be the tension between Lean-wings and Flightless, as the L-W's see the Flightless as weak and don't derserve to live in more classy areas and want them to live on ruins or down on the main ground. Flightless see the L-W's as stuck up butts who won't help them across the floating chunks of land that the population as a whole live on as a majority.
Seirtone is a old planet. It's sun will live for many more centuries, but the planet's gravity has grown so weak that the ground is pulling from the core of the planet, with the newest moon a sign of that, as they were once the taller mountain ranges that were pulled away first. The land still attached to the core has forests, ravines, canyons, and the like on it, and no flat land at all, either jagged mountains or hills where to original land was. Aviaites had to adapt to this, once all flightless, and evolved to have wings, and beaks to snatch things while their arms are busy keeping them up in the air.
Avia names follow a pattern of 7 letter first names, and 10 letter last names, and tend to type things on their version of computing devices homophonically, or how they are pronounced. Example "Ey have da fone." Lower social classes have this worse then upper. Higher ups usually are able to spell correctly, with a couple exceptions here and there. The game they play is SHATCH
Good site for names with this guide: here
A old, but still good reference sheet I made in non-sprite style:
Example of a complete sprite and profile:
Your name is THOELLE DEANACHIEL. You are a AVIA, and around 7 SEIRTONIAN CYCLES (Around fifteen earth years), and you love SHINY LIGHT GREEN GEMSTONES also known as EMERALDS. You are classed on the WINGS SCALE (social classes) as AVERAGE. Ever since you left your PROGENITORS' NEST when you were old enough to become FLEDGING, you have been a MESSENGER, delivering letters and objects to those who ask, and sometimes even transport FLIGHTLESS if they are light enough. It pays you enough, but you LOVE YOUR JOB.
You are very sociable, but hesitant at times, living on the Avia equivalent of a secluded, rural area. You are very humble, but no one believes this. They expect you to feel high and mighty when you do a good deed, but you do not. You are very independent, able to survive by yourself in the long run. You can be agitated really easy at times, especially when insults, pardon the pun, come flying your way, but you are playful any other time, willing to have fun, as long as you aren't on job. When you are at work, you are known to be stubburn, not willing to give up in any circumstance. You do tend to have a wandering eye, and sometimes have an impulse to take things, though, and especially if the object(s) you are taking are shiny.
You have MANY INTERESTS, and it'd be stupid to list them ALL. But it wouldn't hurt to tell SOME.
While you do enjoy collecting many SHINY OBJECTS, it is NOT NOTEWORTHY, as a majority of AVIA/AVIAITES do too.
You have an interest of BOTANY. You find all the plants of the various floating lands intriguing, and you have many chancy to study them during and after the trips your JOB requires you to make, sending you ACROSS SAID LANDS. And COOKING, you like cooking. You collect HERBS and VEGITATION on your trips too that can be used to make meals, as well as hunt on the CORELAND for game, if you couldn't go to a market. If you lived on a more populated LANDMASS, you'd even consider owning a SEIRTONE equivalent of a resturaunt.
You live in a moderately-sized NEST, one you made weeks after you left your PROGENETORS to SURVIVE on YOUR OWN. You live on a mountain and forest-littered LANDMASS, with average weather and temperature. If STRIFE SPECIBI were a THING, yours would be KNIFEKIND, which would probably be because you keep a SMALL BLADE with you to DEFEND yourself, and to kill STUBBURN GAME. If FETCH MODUSES were a THING, you wouldn't have the TIME to deal with one. You'd have default, and you wouldn't use it much.
You are pretty good at FLYING, the result of being taught at such a young age, but you wouldn't take on a LEAN-WING, at the risk of being humiliated. Darn those people are WAY stronger and faster than you. But you know how to fly fast, and know where to go, with your admirable NAVIGATION skills.
You found out about the game SHATCH, during a job trip. You were flying some TECHNOLOGY from the capitol of the planet to somebody, but they never came. Curiosity got the better of you, and you opened the packages up, and you found the AVIAITE'S equivalent of a computer, internet server, and the SHATCH disks. You went home, and hooked the computer up to a power source. After some tinkering, you learned how to use it. It also came with a CHAT CLIENT, in which you found some friends, all of who had a copy of the game themselves. Your user name is emeraldPlantess, and, like a lot on your species does, yoo tend too spell wurds fonecalee
Your TITLE in SHATCH will be is the MAGE of TIME, and your land is The LAND of OPPOSITES and TEA, a land mostly composed of a sea, divided in half by a BIG WALL, with one side the titled TEA, and the other ALCOHOL (if TEA is something that can possibly get you hyper, depending on what's brewed in it, and how much sugar, then alcohol, a depressant and something that will leave you groggy, is the OPPOSITE), which are where the consorts live within; Indigo-colored sharks.
To put it in short:
Name: Thoelle Deanachiel
Age: 7 cycles (Fifteen human years)
Username: emeraldPlantess
Text color: Light Green #66cc00
Gender: Female
If she had to be compared to a bird on earth, I would say a Messenger Pidgeon. It shows up alot in her bio.
Strife: KnifeKind
Fetch Modus: Whatever the default is. Is what John has the default?
Prospit or Derse: Derse
Mage of Time
Land of Opposites and Tea.
Have an original race for this? Just post it if you want me to add it in.
