ironically." He copied this behavior from his older brother (also his biological father through ectobiology and his only guardian), who collects puppets and katanas on what Dave assumes is an ironic level. Dave has been described as "smart-cynical," and is John's best friend. Surrounded by bad video games and junk food, he wears aviator sunglasses, obscuring his eyes entirely, and wields katana in combat situations. He wields a sword (using the strife specibus Bladekind). His classpect is Knight of Time. Dave is the fictional creator of Hussie's spin-off webcomic Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, in-jokes of which are featured frequently in Homestuck. Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff are intentionally poorly made, featuring unsteady lines, liberal use of the spray paint tool, heavy jpeg artification, and the unpopular typeface Comic Sans. First shown on-screen during Homestucks third act, Shaenon Garrity described Jade as "the most recalcitrant" of the four kids. Jade Harley lives on a remote island together with her dog, Becquerel, who is the First Guardian of Earth (later merging with him). As she can see the future through her dreams, Jade was the one who encouraged the other three kids to play the fictional video game Sburb, and therefore set the plot in motion. She often uses a hunting rifle (specibus Riflekind) in battle. Her classpect is Witch of Space, and being a space player, she creates the Genesis Frog of her session. Alpha kids Jane Crocker is the heiress to the Betty Crocker fortune, and she is the symbolic leader of the four alpha kids. She wields a weapon similar to a pitchfork that vacillates between a pronged or spoon-like head depending on the Betty Crocker branding at the time (strife specibus Forkkind or Spoonkind). Crocker's classpect is the Maid of Life. One of the last two humans on a future post-apocalyptic Earth (along with Dirk Strider), Roxy Lalonde lives by herself and is known to frequently drink. Her classpect is the Rogue of Void. Dirk Strider is the brother to Dave Strider who shares a similar affinity for irony. At a young age, he made a digital copy of his brain that became his self-aware chat auto-responder. Strider's classpect is Prince of Heart. Similar to Jade Harley, Jake English lives alone on an island. He is a fan of action movies and speaks in an antiquated fashion. English's surname comes from the villain Lord English. His classpect
