Intro~

[preanimator]

So hey guys, it's Terry, Gamzee and GHB player bringing character number three who isn't Homestuck at all. This is Herbert West, from the Reanimator movies, for those of you familiar with goofy 80s zombie horror flicks (don't worry, I don't expect anyone but Sio and Gnome to know them, though I highly recommend watching at least the first one). He's a 6th year Ravenclaw who is OBSESSED WITH CONQUERING DEATH, and is also kind of an amoral jerkwad who looks down his nose at everyone he doesn't consider as smart as he is. He's also tiny and mouthy, so very easy to pick on.

If anyone wants an established CR, I would love that! He's kind of an unlikable guy, so I know there won't be lines around the block to be his friend, but maybe your char gave him a swirlie before or something. XD

STAY AWAY FROM HIS SHINRA YOU JERK

Hi Terry, hi.

[preanimator]

NOPE SCIENCE BROS FOR LIFE IDIOT HOOLIGAN

Hi~!

[moveslikejaeger]

WHINY SELF IMPORTANT BITCh he will cut you

I love you

[preanimator]

MINDLESS BABBLING IDIOT you think that'll shut him up?

Ilu, too, baby

[marshall_lee]

Noooo Herbert, you don't want immortality. Trust Marshall. It sucks sometimes.

[preanimator]

You know, I don't think he honestly cares about living forever? Nor does he want immortality for himself. He just wants to have the thrill of having beaten the unbeatable, I think. "I CONQUERED NATURE ITSELF MUAHAHAHAHA" kind of thing.

... wait, how old is Marshall? I thought he was still school age?

[marshall_lee]

Ahhh a mad scientist of the wizarding set. He should be pretty awesome to interact with!

Weeeell, Marshall is a vampire. Counting the age he was turned he's 195 years old. (he was born in 1817!)

[preanimator]

But ... then why is he going to school? I should probably just go read your app, huh? XD

[marshall_lee]

He's kinda seeking sanctuary!

[preanimator]

... okay, that makes a lot more sense. XD I was all, "Man, he's old to be mingling with kids." But if Dumbledore was kind enough to let him hide out, that works.

CREEPY OLD VAMPIRE MAN PEEPING ON THE ADOLESCENT GIRLS THOUGH. XD They probably love it.

[marshall_lee]

OMG NO. I AM SIXTEEN FOREVER.

And he probably loves it more than they do..lol.

[just1c3w1tch]

Oggie beat him up their first year.

y/y?

[preanimator]

Only their first year? XD

[just1c3w1tch]

XD

Mostly was thinking of what foot their relationship set out on. |D
I'm sure fights have happened since then.

[preanimator]

Yeah, I think Herbert has a serious hate on for Jaegers, and just really is no good at keep his mouth shut. I think at this point he and Maxim are practically mortal enemies ... well, for teenagers, which most means they just annoy the shit out of each other. Oggie can have some of Herbert's contempt for Maxim in there, too. I know in the Diagon Alley thread he and Eriq were talking about carrying bones around to distract the Jaegers when they came around. XD

[just1c3w1tch]

Vhy is hyu gifink me veapon? Don't Hy hurts hyu enough vitout vun? :|a

[preanimator]

IT WAS ERIQ'S IDEA!

[moveslikejaeger]

I FIND IT HILARIOUS OGGIE PICKS ON HERBERT BUT WAS P NICE TO ERIQ UNTIL HE SMACKED HIM WITH A BOOk.

just sayin!

[preanimator]

Yeah, dude, what's up with that? Does he think Eriq looks more like a girl or something?

[eighttimeshandy]

He must. Screams like one, at least. And is about as vain as one. And has those big, gorgeous, fuck me lips.

[preanimator]

Man, Herbert is always getting punished for not being hot. Doesn't anyone appreciate a tiny young man in glasses?

[eighttimeshandy]

Eriq does! Kind of. He's half oblivious.

[preanimator]

I have the sneaking suspicion if there were somehow forced cuddles, he'd suddenly get the appeal of a much smaller bf. >.>

[eighttimeshandy]

Oh yes, def. He's a big clinger anyway, if you can get him to admit he likes cuddles

[preanimator]

Clearly there needs to be some sort of spell/drunken encounter along the way. Possibly at a Slytherin/Ravenclaw slumber party, hmmm ...

[syned_a_brik]

Pffft XD

Scarily enough, I can actually see him having the same relationship with Herbert? Dey is still mostly friends, yah? Chust takes more hits to make Herbert stay down. :D

Being friends with a Jaeger can be like that. :'|

[preanimator]

NO NOT FRIENDS YOU HIDEOUS RAVENING BEAST

DOWN BOY, DOWN!

[syned_a_brik]

NEIN NOT RAVENINK CHUST ATE, SO DERE

[doctorkishitani]

Shinra wants to be his friend.

[preanimator]

Yiss, science bros! Shinra seems kind of oblivious to jerkishness, and also is obviously quite intelligent, so I think West would actually like him, in so much as he likes anyone. And would share his obsessive ramblings about conquering death, etc. XD The both seem to be into the human body, too, and since West was raised mostly Muggle, he could share all his Muggle anatomy books and charts and stuff.
