If Retris is named after/based on Tetris, are all the Sovstuck original characters based on/tied to classic video games? Like Space Invaders, Pong, Snake, Pac-Man, Frogger?

A few of them are! We’ve got extremely overly complicated and extremely simple reasons for each one, too! Here’s a few I can think of right off the bat:

Tejuri is inspired by Snake.

Dynama is inspired by Frogger.

Presae is inspired by Centipede.

Meseri is inspired by Polybius.

Ajax is inspired by Space Invaders.

I would also like to take a moment to say that while, yes, Retris’s name is literally just Tetris with an R in front of it (there are very simple and very complicated reasons for this also,) the inspiration I derived from the game for Retris’s character is largely based on The Tetris Effect. Don’t think about that too hard! Or do. I’m not the boss of you. :)

I asked nekropsii this so now I'm gonna ask you this! if you want at least. sov characters you could be roommates with comfortably vs sov characters you couldn't even share a room with if paid

Heya!! This question is so fun so thanks for sending!

Most of the crew is pretty unanimous with our opinions, and I'm much of the same, but it's a fun hypothetical! so here we go,

WARNING: LONG AS HELL

[PLAYERS]

[ Cynical Itinerant - Cytin - Tintin ] Abso. Cool-o-rama Over Here. Would absolutely love to be a roomate with this dude! Learning how to say shit in Latin would be FUN.

[ Dynama Zarrow ] Nope. Either the religious talk would drive me stir crazy or I'd drive them stir crazy with the fact that I make several jokes About God, and various other things.

[ Tejuri Kromab ] Hell yeah! Granted our Southern-Hospitality might collide a bit, but not in anyway negative! I'd be interested in what she's writing just out of pure curiosity. I am sharing some sweet tea with her.

[ Presae Covnul ] Split. Doesn't know half of the electrical appliances I'd be using, and would probably tear them apart. But otherwise seems like a pretty chill roomie! Would make a mean soup that would cure me of all diseases.

[ Pardus Rubato ] Split. Would probably blare the music she's working on at 2 am. While the music in itself is impressive, but I'd be tormented with unwarranted AMV's every time I take my headphones off. But I must also consider that, 1. is kitty 2. PARKOUR.

[ Retris Morage ] Wouldn't Mind! Having a decent place wouldn't be out of the question, and a pretty nice guy once you befriend him! Probably would pester him with too many questions though given his knowledge.

[ Ajax Barrett ] I don't see why not! Watching shitty or good movies sounds like an absolute TIME with him, plus I'd like to take him to a rage room and absolutely Wail on a TV.

[ Emeric Sargas ] Split. We'd need an entirely separate ventilated room so I don't get attacked by fumes that could kill me, but otherwise would be a fun roomie! I think they'd be interesting to talk to, even if my brain would get melted a little. But I'm pretty sure it's already halfway there on it's own.

[ Kausat Stolar ] ...Split, but leaning on yes. Got the same interest of Weird Houses. Although he takes it a bit more... Seriously then I do. Would absolutely not go with them on a Abandoned House exploration, but would absolutely make him Worse by showing him the game "ANATOMY".

[ Tomiei Aerras ] Eeeehhhh...... No. She's hilarious, no doubt, but Hardcore Tiktok People scare me.

[ Annomi Errata ] Absolutely not. I think I'd knock him out cold out of pure reflex if he even breathed at me wrong.

[ Pleome Alrium ] 100% Yes. Sweet guy!! Cool Hobbies!! Beach trips sounds like an absolute Blast with this guy!! What more could you want!

[NPCS]

[ Inaniloquent Commander - Inaco ] Split, leaning on no. On one hand, the garden would FLORISH. On the other, no leniency on rules would probably jack up my anxiety real bad.

[ Argebi Kromab ] Unsure... I'm sure she's wonderful, and the package deal with Khanda doesn't bother me too much, but it's a living situation where it'd drift more into "You do your thing, and I do mine". Can't really say for sure why!

[ Meseri Covnul ] No, but for my own safety & sanity. I'd like to keep my skeleton, thank you.

[ Khanda Morage ] Split. He'd tell me something Entirely Untrue, and the worst part is that I might believe him if I have no knowledge of the subject in the first place. Would be embarrassing in the long run. But, is hilarious, and probably plays a mean DND game.

[ Arsine Sargas ] Running so so far away. She'd get a wiff of my brainworms and use them to her advantage. No thanks. + The apartment would smell like wet cigarettes' 24/7.

[ Ochosi Stolar ] Split. High energy would probably get me pretty exhausted after a while, but in moderation would be pretty cool! Would give me near heart attacks though with the kinda stunts he's doing.

[ Dulvyx Errata ] Nope. Absolutely not. A thousand times no. Self Proclaimed "Empaths", scare me.

[ Atrisa Alrium ] HELL yes. Seems so sweet. And our grocery list would include a gallon of Women Respecting Juice. I wouldn't allow myself to get dragged to a bar, but small socialization events would be healthy for me I think!

Commission for @octopardo of Meseri and Atrisa!

[scalematez]

An introduction to a couple of the alphas in Sovereignstuck, who function a little differently from the canon alphas. Not all of them had refs so this isn't all of them but it's a few!!

[nekropsii]

i don’t know if it’s been done before, but I remember a post you did where you summarized each sovereignstuck player in a sentence or two, you also mentioned their ancestors I think, I was wondering if you could do the same for them?

I don’t think I’ve done this, actually!! I can do that!! Thank you for the suggestion!!

Content Warning: None.

(NOTE: I’ll only be doing the NPCs that haven’t been replaced by another character in-game, simply because we want their replacements to be a bit of a surprise!! I hope this is ok!!)

IN ORDER OF HEMOSPECTRUM:

INANILOQUENT COMMANDER: Goody-two-shoes Twitch moderator that takes rules way, way too seriously.

ARGEBI KROMAB: Godless RPF Writer who makes her time spent on AO3 almost her entire personality as a Coping Mechanism for the fact that she sucks. Trying her best.

MESERI COVNUL: Error 403.

KHANDA MORAGE: Imagine an Abridged version of Jigsaw from the Saw Franchise who is a gay wizard and a Cognitohazard on purpose.

ARSINE SARGAS: War criminal. (Derogatory.)

OCHOSI STOLAR: Daredevil with more explosive energy than a coked up Siberian Husky.

DULVYX ERRATA: Self-identified “Empath” who plans on making that literally everyone else’s problem.

ATRISA ALRIUM: Picture, for a moment, a stereotypical High School Mean Girl, except she had a redemption arc, is nice now, and is still a slut. (Affectionate.)

[nekropsii]

I'm the anon who asked about the people involved in the Sov!stuck project! So I'm interested in knowing which characters people/accounts are writing

Hello again! Lovely to see you!!

I'll be answering your question under the cut, because the formatting really does make this quite long... It's the best approach I could think of!! Hope you do not mind!!

Content Warning: Long.

Some characters that are not mentioned are considered a group effort, of sorts!! On top of that, there are a couple that we just juggle around, and sometimes characters will change hands... Sometimes that's temporary, sometimes it isn't. It's all based on who has the muse for what- it just works better like that!! All characters have at least a little bit of input from somebody at some point, though... So that's something to keep in mind, too!! We also have a few not mentioned here because of spoiler reasons... Don't worry too much about that!!

Hello again! I wanted to ask about the Ancestors. Not the canon homestuck Ancestors, mind you, I mean… the Ancestors. What about them? Are they even important? What are their classpects? I’d love to hear about them. Please.

(I know think one’s a Knight of Hope, right? I mean those Ancestors, in case it wasn’t clear. And thank you, by the way.)

Ohhh, fun question!! More than happy to answer!! Your memory serves you correctly- there is in fact a Knight of Hope!

Fun Fact: Not all of The Ancestors in Sovereignstuck are present as NPCs! This is due to how and why they’re present in the first place- they exist not through Dream Bubbles, but as… Well, NPC figures on various Player characters’s Lands!

They’re there because they failed their session with flying colors- they lost Hope in their session enough to just give up. They’re essentially stuck in the game- being in the Player session purely because their own session’s servers shut down around them. The game’s AI liked them, despite their catastrophic failure, and decided to “reuse” them as NPCs, like a real DM would. The reason a handful of them aren’t present is because they died prior to the Server Shutdown. Those not present for the game are represented by stand-ins. Sometimes these stand-ins are Consorts, sometimes they’re something else.

The Ancestors are, in fact, actually important to the plot. This can be good… And really bad. They suffer from the same Death Brainrot that the canon Dancestors had. So, imagine the Dancestors… But plot important, and some of them have Command Centers similar to The Exiles. You know… Direct narrative-controlling devices? Ones that plant thoughts, ideas, actions, and plot points directly into other character’s minds? Yeah.

Anyways, here’s the list of Ancestors/NPCs that are present in their original state in the plot:

Inaniloquent Commander // Sylph of Doom.

Argebi Kromab // Knight of Hope.

Meseri Covnul // Witch of Void.

Khanda Morage // Prince of Light.

Arsine Sargas // Mage of Mind.

Ochosi Stolar // Heir of Life.

Dulvyx Errata // Thief of Heart.

Atrisa Alrium // Page of Blood.
