CHARACTER INFO Character Name: Nepeta Leijon Series: Homestuck (AU) Canon Point: Several hours after fleeing to the Veil, but before they discover the humans. History Link:Canon history for Nepeta.
AU/OC History:
Nepeta's AU is a simple bloodswap, which means that the universe (for the most part) follows canon with the blood colors of all the trolls being shuffled around. In this case the trolls and their blood colors are as follows, from gray to tyrian:
Unlike canon, however, Nepeta isn't typing in gray to disguise cherry red mutant blood. She is in fact a second tyrian-blooded troll who managed to successfully navigate the trials of the brooding cave to reach where Gl'bgolyb was waiting.
Because Equius had also emerged unscathed a fight broke out which culminated in the collapse of the lusus' cave; this chaos allowed a heavily injured Nepeta to escape to the surface with her life. At this point her life would have ended if she hadn't been found by a low-blooded lusus who had recently lost his own troll. Emotionally bereft from the loss of his charge he took her under his care and nursed her back to health.
The rest of her life was mostly spent inside and in the company of her lusus, as the only thing standing between Nepeta and discovery was a hooded cape. She makes friends with other trolls her age online and ironically comes to be moirails with the same person responsible for her fugitive situation to begin with, although he's unaware of this.
Things proceed in a tensely stable fashion until her group of friends decide to play a game which had been set up by Feferi and Eridan with Sollux's help. Sgrub ends their world and sends them hurtling through a clusterfuck of epic proprotions in order to create a new one upon their victory - which they eventually achieve, defeating the Black King and preparing to enter their new universe as gods.
Unfortunately, events beyond their control have set an omnipotent demon on their trail; Jack Noir destroys the gateway to the new universe and forces the group to retreat into the Veil in an attempt to lose him and save their lives. The trolls are left with nothing to do but cruise the internet and wait for their impending doom.
Personality:
In many ways Nepeta is similar to her original universe counterpart - she's an upbeat and friendly girl, a strange thing for a troll to be. She cares deeply for her friends and would do anything to keep them safe, as they mean the world to her. Despite her unfortunate childhood she still maintains a very positive outlook on life, believing that everything is going to turn out for the best in the end.
She still has a passion for roleplay, as she considers her entire life on giant charade anyway, although Crabdad forbids her from dabbling in the more dangerous forms for fear of her spilling her blood and exposing herself. Unlike Greenpeta, however, she very rarely inserts roleplay dialogue into her daily conversations with others.
This habit stems from the fact that Graypeta is much more reserved than Greenpeta - her entire life has been spent in physical solitude, with the constant fear of being exposed to someone looming over her head. Although she loves her friends dearly, she is constantly worried about being unmasked in front of them because she honestly doesn't know how they would react. While she wants to think the best of them, reality has made it difficult for her to trust that belief fully.
That worry makes her very secretive and a little apprehensive of close physical contact, although Graypeta certainly craves it. Before Sgrub she would constantly snuggle with her lusus, who because of their shared traumas she's bonded with more intensely than a regular troll would with their lusus. Crabdad's death hits her a lot harder than the other trolls in the session, although she does her best to swallow this and move on. Graypeta is used to suppression of her feelings like that, as many of her problems are blood-related and thus impossible to talk about with her moirail.
Although Graypeta is understandably worried about being culled, she's otherwise fairly at peace with being a fugitive from the empire. She has no desire to be empress, content with trying to steer her moirail to more revolutionary policies instead. This is the only obvious result of being branded as a blood traitor - a passionate hatred for the hemospectrum and a whole-hearted belief that no one should have to hide who they are.
Because Crabdad kept her inside for most of her life, Graypeta is physically frailer than her green counterpart. When she fights she relies more heavily on speed and critical strikes than brute force - she's more likely to go for the jugular rather than slice an entire head off, for example. Her penchant for watching before saying anything comes in handy in social situations, where much like her green counterpart she's able to accurately glean people's true feelings.
Powers:
Nepeta is a seadwelling troll, and as such is able to breathe underwater through gills and withstand the immense pressure of the deeper levels of the ocean.
She also possesses a syalldex and strife specibus like most of the characters in Homestuck, which are basically a video game-style storage system for items and weapon respectively. Her weapon is still clawkind, although these claws resemble a crab's pincers more closely than Wolverine claws.
In Sgrub Nepeta was given the title Rogue of Blood, although she never truly understood what exactly it entailed. This didn't stop her from using its abilities unconsciously, however, and even without an ascension to god tier she is still quite capable of gaining a respectable mastery over them if she ever becomes aware of their existence.
At present she only utilizes the ever-present passive features, which consist of her blood disguising itself as other colors and shielding its true nature from detection by both supernatural means as well as the more conventional methods.
Because Nepeta doesn't consciously use the power it pulls colors from the nearest troll or her cherry red hood - so long as it's a viable blood color the powers will 'steal' it and present it as Nepeta's own. This ability doesn't affect Nepeta at all, as from her current canon point she knows no one able to see through her body and has made very sure that she hasn't bled on anything.
Should she ever become adept in her Blood powers, with a great expenditure of energy and concentration Nepeta would be able to more literally steal a person's blood and control their body like a puppet. At the time, however, she's nowhere near being able to pull this off.
