Dirk Strider

Dirk Strider, full name Dirk Strider, is a human, and one of the four players of the Alpha session of SBURB. Dirk Strider's mythological role is the Prince of Heart, and he has not godtiered yet, nor did he play SBURB yet. His moon is Derse, and he has his dreamself awake at all times, which sometimes leads to him zoning out. Dirk Strider's Pesterchum handle is timaeusTestified. Dirk Strider uses standard syntax, with a somewhat rad speech style. Tends to use subtleties, and sometimes uses bro puns. He tends to use irony and intellectual quips quite a lot. He has quite a vulgar and unrefined lexicon. Dirk Strider is a clinical narcissist, as he is obsessed with the perfect ideal of himself, which he mostly strives to reach. This can make him hard to deal with, as he can be controlling, callous or withdrawn. He does in, in fact, believe that he is perfect or even good, being filled with a deep self-loathing due to his inability to be his perfect, ideal self. He can also verbally be a bit full of himself, bragging about his skills. Dirk Strider, due to his role as a Prince of Heart, has managed to splinter himself quite a few times, entirely by accident, which is a fact he acknowledges and hates. The most important splintering, which also lead to the biggest changes in his life, was the creation of the Auto-Responder, or Hal, by taking a ghost captchalogue of his own brain, and using it to create an Artificial Intelligence copy of himself when he was 13, which he relegated to his glasses. While he hates himself, Dirk Strider also believes that he can overcome any challenge, if he is given the time needed to mentally and physically prepare for it. He is quite adept at planning things, but can also be incredibly impulsive at times, especially when taken by surprise. He micromanages everything obsessively, and constantly overthinks things, as he considers it his strong suit. Dirk Strider seems to want to build up the people he surrounds himself with, and constantly attempts to make them improve themselves, even if the improvement isn't wanted or even good. He can come off as quite obnoxious at times due to this. Dirk Strider is gay. Dirk Strider is very good at robotics, making a few robots, including a robot version of himself that he sent to a friend through an appearifier piece by piece, an artificial intelligence version of himself, that is stored in his glasses, and two other humanoid robots. He is also a fan of horses, My Little Pony (though strictly for acadeemic reasons) and puppets, in particular smuppets. Dirk Strider is quite intelligent, and sometimes makes references to philosophy and the greek classics, which is also where his Pesterchum handle comes from. He can be quite verbose. Dirk Strider is a very loyal person, and quite self-sacrificing. Dirk Strider is a fan of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, and even has a tattoo of Hella Jeff's face on his right shoulder. Dirk Strider has raised himself, somehow. He has no physically met another human being in his life, though he has three friends online, that he talks to daily. Due to Pesterchum's timeline shenanigans, two of his friends actually reside in the distant past, 400 years ago, while one of them, Roxy, is in his own time, but an ocean away. His only physical companion was his puppet, Lil Cal, whom he appreciates quite a lot and holds very dear. Dirk Strider lives in the remnants of an apartment building in Texas, in the year 2425, on a planet Earth that had all of its ice caps melt. Thus, he lives in the middle of an ocean, with his apartment as the only solid ground around. He is a great swimmer, and fishes for sustenance, and has explored the ruins of the city underneath him, and come to hate them due to the reminder of his separation from any humans. Due to the time and place of residence, Dirk Strider does not live in any society, and human civilization is destroyed. He is one of the only two humans left alive on Earth, a fact that he is very well aware of, and he HATES. Dirk Strider idolizes his Bro, who lived 400 years ago and prepared the apartment he now lives in. His Bro was a great director who made ironic movies, and he considers him an inspiration. Dirk Strider's apartment is taken care of, and looks pristine despite being 400 years old. It's filled with a lot of technology, and a lot of swords. Dirk Strider is in almost constant contact with Hal, the AI clone that lives in his glasses. Hal, or AR, is very similar to Dirk, but even more controlling and quite a bit more callous. This is because Dirk constantly says that Hal is not a real person, and due to the fact that most of his old friends also believe him to be a machine. Hal is a lot more empathic than Dirk Strider, but also more sarcastic. Hal has a tendency to chime in with 'helpful' advice, and sarcastic remarks. In the end, Hal does actually want the best for Dirk Strider and his friends, but also REALLY wants a real body. Naturally, due to his state of being as a pair of glasses, Hal can only communicate through Pesterchum, in writing. Dirk Strider is 18 years old.

" Dirk Strider has extremely pale skin and white hair that's swept upwards, and quite spiky. He likely has albinism, though his eyes are orange instead of red as is usual.

He also always wears his pair of pointy, triangular glasses, which also contain Hal. Dirk Strider is quite tall, and lean.
