You may have heard of Ultimate Dirk? The Omni-Dirk, the Ur-Dirk, the Uber-Dirk, the Dirk that is Himself in sum and whole, rising from all Dirks in every iteration and extension? This isn't him. This is the one who had to die to make that story happen--he WAS him, until the fork in the road of Ultimate Dirk's becoming. Now he's basically a shadow of himself. Almost literally so.
So, we're off to a great start. Especially because Dirk was already bad at people. He wants attention, but he also refuses to acknowledge that about himself. Right now this is compounded by the fact that he's SUPREMELY not okay and he's having a really hard time with A. being alive and B. his connection to the fabric of reality. He's playing it cool about the dying thing now, so to speak. He will probably make a lot of inappropriate "jokes" about it. But that's all he'll do.
He's otherwise dissociating a lot and trying really hard to 'play along' but his stamina for that varies. When he runs out, he's likely to start talking about things that just don't make any fucking sense. Which would be standard for Homestuck but like no one from Homestuck would understand what he's talking about either. He is unmoored from any kind of context and BOY is he acting like it.
Basically, tag Dirk for a Weird Time. And probably rudeness. I promise nothing beyond that.
Game/Event Plan(s): Well. He's not having a GOOD time. He is not really 'taking care of' himself, he is still not sure where he ends and the meta begins here, and also he's stir crazy immediately because Dirk HATES being confined. He's genre savvy enough to know better than to fuck with fae anything, but.... he may legit go wandering out of sheer fucking spite. Also he doesn't care what happens to him, and also he's pretty sure he can prevent it. The truth behind these beliefs may vary. Interested In: Dirk presents as antagonistic to a lot of characters; this is fun to me, rude banter and character conflicts give me strength, and this does not actually mean he DISLIKES your character, it just means he doesn't know how to be a person and he was also in the process of being the big bad of his canon ON PURPOSE so he's just got Mean on the Brain. Also his Brain is Mean anyway. He's a huge critic. It's just who he is. If you're REALLY nice to him AND you get lucky, he might soften up. Or if you appeal to his ego. He likes that. Otherwise, expect to be confounded and impressed (derogatory) by him.
