A current listing of every member of the Alliance of Hope, current and former, and their status in the organization.
The Director
Status: Alive?
Cosmically Renowned Organizer
Age: Assumed mid-50s
Height: 6' ??"/Weight: In excess of 170 lbs
Personality Outline: Details are sketchy, but the Director has been rumored to be a firm, militaristic individual, with a well-known and spoken hatred for evil and despair, with a drive to bring hope and ambition to the world.
Brief Background: The Director, sometimes known as "Mr. Samuels", is a shadowy figure, often connected to numerous incidents involving the destruction of various evil organizations and gangs across Earth and neighboring space -- some have even said across Time as well, but that is preposterous. As his age advanced, he sought out a way to pass on his ideals to others, and formed this Alliance as a result.
Death
The Investor: "Will you please stay still, it's hard enough to put your soul back in your body as it is. Unless you'd rather me put you into the body of a gold fish. That can be arranged."
Age: God and Death forgot who was older.
Height: 5' 10"/Weight: 154 lbs
Personality Outline: Due to his advanced age, Death is completely detached from the rest of the universe. He cares little for major events of the here and now, he only pays the events vague interest. Unlike his siblings, Death is shown to have a more civil and calm manner when dealing with people.
Despite being callous at times, Death has a respect for the natural order of the universe. Death does not normally resurrect people (most likely because it disrupts the natural order) though he can make exceptions. Unlike the other Horsemen, Death has a level of respect for humans, specifically the human soul.
Brief Background: Death has existed since God knows when. He's been around the world, watching the Earth and Universe grow--even though he's stated that the Universe is still in its diapers. He hasn't made much of an appearance since the "Apocalypse" that Lucifer tried to start. Though he could show up here and there. Especially now with this murder event coming around. Who else could put all those souls back to where they properly belong?
Thor Odinson
Cosmically Renowned Warrior
Status: Alive
Age: Billions of years
Height: 6'6"/Weight: 640 lbs.
Personality Outline: Thor is a brash, confident, sometimes even arrogant warrior-god, prone to senseless boasting and bragging, but with a deep-set heart of gold. He may let his overconfidence and even his temper get the better of him from time to time, but when the time arises, you will scarcely find a more worthy ally. Has a strong love for Asgardian mean, battle of all kinds, exchanging grand tales with his friends and allies, and keeping peace for the short time it lasts. He utterly despises senseless and wanton destruction and violence, being pitted in battle against those he considers friend or family, and the thought of anyone innocent being caught in the crossfire of his battles.
Brief Background: Born the son of the mighty Allfather Odin and the elder goddess Gaea, Thor was, even from birth, an extremely mighty being. Raised in Asgard as a skilled warrior and the one who would inherit the throne from his father, Thor's bravado and arrogance earned him a sound punishment wherein he was taught humility and the ideals that would govern his rule later in life. He has fought countless battles against impossibly numerous and powerful foes, and has never given in to defeat or despair, despite the darkness that is set against him and his home.
John Egbert
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Prankster
Age: 16
Height: 5'9"/Weight: 150~ lbs.
Personality Outline: John is a goofball at his core, with a love for pranks, humor, terrible movies, programming and spending time with his friends. He despises unnecessary violence and bloodshed, people who diss his favorite things without giving them a chance, not understanding things, and people making him the butt of their jokes (when he catches on, at least).
Brief Background: A young man who grew up as a budding prankster under the watchful eye of his Dad. He was fated to play a game called SBURB, and as a result, ended up rising to become a mighty hero, the God Tier Heir of Breath. Through no shortage of convoluted madness, he and his friends somehow created a new universe....and ended up here.
Dave Strider
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Coolkid
Age: 16
Height: ~5'7"/Weight: ~135lbs
Personality Outline: i r o n y
Brief Background: Played SBURB, made a killing on the LOHAC Stock Exchange, fought Bec Noir, created a universe, all that good jazz.
Ridley Duchannes
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Siren
Age: 18
Height:5'7 / Weight:126
Personality Outline: Ridley has a sharp tongue and fiery temper, and would often rather throw around snarky comments and insults than share her actual feelings. Honestly, though, she doesn't want to be Dark - and she's struggling against her nature, struggling to be a 'good' person.
Brief Background: Born into a family of powerful Casters, she was cursed to turn 'Dark' on her sixteenth birthday, and thus ran away from home. She's been struggling against her Dark nature since then, aided by the fact that she's recently joined up with the Ninth Doctor and his crew.
Alucard
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Hunter
Age: 599
Height: 6'4"/Weight: In excess of 200 lbs.
Personality Outline: Alucard is the excess of what could be seen as negative emotion. Arrogant, malicious, bloodthirsty, quick to anger, and constantly demeaning and destroying his foes on every level. It would be hard to picture him as anything more than a vicious monster, and he holds true to this, but at his core, buried in the deepest, darkest core of his person, there is still a good man that yearns to do something worthwhile again.
Brief Background: Once a valiant crusader, his armies were destroyed and as he was to be executed, he forsook God and drank the blood of the battlefield, becoming a vampire of monstrously excessive power, some even calling him a demon or the Devil himself. Over many years he slaughtered countless millions in his bloodthirst, but was brought to heel by Abraham van Hellsing, and forced into service to the Hellsing family to hunt the very monsters of the night he had once counted himself among the ranks of.
Karkat Vantas
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Leader
Age: 7 Alternian Solar Sweeps / 16 Human Years
Height: Unknown /Weight: Unknown {homesock pls
Personality Outline: Karkat is an irritable, obnoxious troll most of the time. He has a tendency to randomly do acrobatic fucking pirouettes off the handle at the drop of a hat and start concocting massive walls of text filled with profanity and ill-fitting metaphors. At the same time, there is much more depth to this angered troll than it seems - due to a certain problem with blood color, Karkat is highly insecure about what he is.
Likes:
- Terrible romance films
- Practicing with his sickle, despite looking like an asshole when he does
- He tends to grow close to people after talking to them for long enough - he likes being around them, but prefers to be left alone by any others.
Dislikes:
- Annoying people
- His own blood color
- Douchebag highbloods
Brief Background: oh god why homestuck... Karkat played a game called Sburb with his friends, a group of trolls who seemed to mutually dislike each other despite being friends. Karkat's role in this game was the leader, and as such he... well, led his team, with mixed results. They eventually "won" the game, though their victory was interrupted by an omnipotent Archagent named Jack Noir, who destroyed their session - but they did manage to create a universe. This universe housed a planet called Earth, where the trolls managed to contact a certain group of four humans named John Egbert, Rose Lalonde, Dave Strider and Jade Harley. The four of them would also play Sburb.
Jetstream Sam
Cosmically Renowned Samurai
Age: 40
Height: 5/11 Weight: 250lbs (w/ Exosuit) : 190lbs (without Exosuit)
Personality Outline: A laid back and free spirited sort of person, Sam, despite his amicable personality, only feels alive when in battle. Once someone whom sought out his conflict due to his ideals of justice and a desire for revenge, Sam's trust in ideals were shattered along with his right arm by Steven Armstrong at the top of World Marshall HQ. Morphing away from his original purpose, he has long forgotten it in favor of abandoning the concept of ideals on the battlefield: that, was, until he began fighting a man by the name of Raiden, an experience that slowly forced Sam to realize he had no reason for fighting, and acknowledge an emptiness inside of him that only just began to fill as he was struck down. Now, he once again wanders the world, searching for a reason and purpose, not unlike a roaming ronin.
Brief Background: Sam descends from a line of Japanese Swordsmen dating back to the 16th century. Born in Brazil (and being mostly Brazilian by birth), Sam's father was a renown swordsmen and had his own dojo for those interested in learning the ways of the blade. However, one day, for mysterious reasons, his father was assassinated by one of his own pupils at the whims of a drug cartel. Sam responded to this by training long and hard with his Father's Murasama blade, and slaying both the pupil, and the drug cartel itself. This event made Sam realize his true calling as a warrior, and his enjoyment of battle, and lead to Sam's status as a vigilante against those who were thought of as corrupt. Adopting an exosuit as the technology became available, Sam became one of the greatest warriors of the 21st Century, before a fateful day in 2014 atop World Marshall HQ which robbed him of both his right arm and his idealism.
Roxy Lalonde
Status: Alive
Cosmically Renowned Rogue of Void
Age: 16
Height: 5'8 / Weight: 105
Personality Outline: Roxy normally has a pretty laid back attitude and usually finds it fairly easy to make friends. Of course, she's super suspicious of Her Imperial Condescension and anyone who may be associated with her. She has a very heroic archetype; if one of her friends, or even a random civilian, are in danger, she'll do everything in her power to help. Unfortunately, she still has a bit of a drinking problem; she's managed to stay off the sauce, so far, but sometimes she finds herself sorely tempted.
Brief Background: Roxy was raised by carapacians and grew up on one of their settlements on the future state of Earth. She befriended three kids, Dirk, Jane, and Jake, two of which were born in present-day Earth. The fours of them played a game called Sburb, and that's when they had a grand adventure filled with empty planets, a Batterwitch, a lollipop with strange powers, ascension to God Tier, and her eventual arrival to this world.
Caliborn
Cosmically Renowned Tyrant
Age: 16
Height: 5/5 Weight: 163
Personality Outline:
A spoiled brat of the highest calibur, Caliborn is an orney, capricious lordling with an explosive temperature. Hateful and malignant by nature, Caliborn has an inborn, biological desire to destroy and dominate not just everyone around him, but everything in general. However, he has one brutal inbred passion beyond conquering: games, or more precisely, winning them. To do so, he is willing to go to any lengths possible, even if redundant and meaningless. Never possessed with crushing intellect, Caliborn nevertheless is more than capable of utlizing his hidden inner cunning to destroy the competition.
Brief Background: A Cherub from a ruined, far flung future Earth, Caliborn's cosmic destiny is to become Lord English, destroyer of all reality, and reign forever over the universes he destroys. Known as the "Lord of Time", Caliborn is the result of predomination in the cherub's biology. Assigned to be the "evil half" by nature, Caliborn overcame his "good" counterpart far earlier than is biologically acceptable: as such his growth has been stunted on an emotional and possibly physical level. However, given his destiny is far more horrible than any other cherub in all of reality, this is a handicap that, to him, is by far worth it...
Lilynette Gingerback
Cosmically Renowned Gunslinger
Age: Going by her measurements, she's physically eleven years old if you ignore all the... weird arrancar stuff
Height: 4'8"/Weight: 68 lbs
Personality Outline: Brash, aggressive, inclined to swearing but also pretty damn cheerful. Mischievous, hates being alone, adores Starrk, likes having friends and dislikes being underestimated/having her general weakness pointed out to her. Impulsive, easily provoked but genuinely compassionate beyond that.
Brief Background: Created when Starrk split himself into two halves so as to not be alone. Went around as his Fraccion when they sided with Aizen, generally was a brat until people started dying. Fought alongside Starrk in Los Lobos against four captains, sacrificed herself for him and then was revived alongside him by the rifts. She joined the team out of a misguided attempt to prove she can do things without Starrk and also because it's fun and cool and gives her a cool title.
Princess Celestia
Cosmically Renowned Princess
Age: 1000+
Height: 7'3 (8'6 with horn) /Weight: ~880 lbs
Personality Outline: Celestia is benevolent and motherly, with a deep-seated desire to protect and guide those around her. She is graceful, serene, comforting, affectionate, and overall makes for soothing, uplifting company. Her most beloved ideals are harmony, friendship, love, and tolerance. She dislikes those who hurt or oppress others, but would rather work to reform her enemies than to destroy them.
Brief Background: Celestia and her sister Luna rose to the Equestrian throne after liberating the kingdom from Discord's tyrannical rule. The two banished and destroyed many evils, ushering in a new age of peace and prosperity. However, Luna fell to darkness, forcing Celestia to seal her away and rule alone for a thousand years. In recent days she has taken a less active role, overseeing her student Twilight Sparkle as she learns the lessons necessary to fulfill her greater destiny.
