John Egbert

Heir of Breath John Egbert (a.k.a. ectoBiologist)

John Egbert is one of the main characters in Homestuck. John tends to be a bit of a goofball, making bad jokes and using off-beat humour and subtle irony. His "optimism through stalwart skepticism" causes his friends think of him as the leader, while he prefers just being their friend. John is more prone to bad ideas than his friends and is made the butt of a lot of jokes when chatting with them through Pesterchum. He also celebrates the birthdays of his friends, sending them gifts. He is the most grounded of the main characters, contrasting Rose's bookish, logical demeanor, Dave's unceasing pursuit of transcendent irony, and Jade's air-headed, scatterbrained antics. He is also the kindest; Rose is generally very cold emotionally, Dave is quite willing to put the pursuit of irony before consideration for others, and Jade's ideas of kindness tend to be a bit odd, although not out of actual malice. John proves to be quite generous and spends more time than the others helping their Consorts. He also has a strong propensity for self-described "HILARIOUS ANTICS", and has all of the points on his Prankster's Gambit. All of them. Although Rose and Dave both frequently take potshots at the quality of his jokes and pranks, he appears to have a genuine talent for comedy, as his post-scratch self became a world-famous comedian.

Based on the character from Homestuck, created using 5E D&D.
