Other Characters: N/A
Character Information
Name: Rose Lalonde
Canon: Homestuck
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Canon Point: After Act 7, pre-epilogue
Background Link: MSPA Wiki
Inventory: Just her godtier outfit, consisting of an orange hooded tunic, orange leggings, and light blue ballet flats.
Personality: On the surface, it's easy to mistake Rose for a more serious or mean person than she really is. As a girl with an interest in writing, she's always eloquent and grammatically correct in all conversations, typed and spoken (especially in contrast to her friends, who are usually anything but), and she frequently plays the straight man to her friends' shenanigans. She has a tendency to pick people apart and analyze everyone to an uncomfortable level, she can be come across as extremely aloof and insincere, she's cynical and prone to passive-aggression, and her humor is often very snarky and sarcastic.
Even with all that taken into account, however, Rose is a girl who cares very deeply about her friends and family and doing what must be done. She's hard on herself when things go wrong and she takes the brunt of all problems on herself, at times to a self-sacrificing degree, such as when she tried to steal Dave's suicide mission for herself so that he could survive. Despite her sometimes stoic attitude, she's got a good sense of humor. Her banter is frequently funny in a very dry manner and she enjoys games and being silly sometimes. She's got a sharp wit and is very intelligent, particularly in fields related to her various interests - writing, reading, psychology, Lovecraftian horror, music, etc.
Typically a very composed person, Rose keeps firmly in control of herself as much as possible. She has no problem being humorous or making her distaste for certain things obvious, but she's very rarely open or loud about her feelings. It's comforting in a way for her to keep a rein on such things, particularly when the world is going to hell around her. Losing her head is deeply embarassing, even if no one would blame her for it. When she is pushed far enough to get emotional, she defaults towards anger and irritation first and can get snappish, and in the most extreme circumstances she's prone to rage more than distress. Rose likes feeling in control of things in general and prefers to do something about all problems, even if that something ends up being an ill-advised lashing out at what angered her. Only in her most helpless moments does she tend to display sadness or anxiety outwardly, when there's nothing else she can do.
Unsurprisingly for a teenager, of course, Rose is also a very flawed individual. She can be very arrogant, and her greatest mistakes and failures are often the result of her being hyper-independent and believing she can do everything herself. Her sarcastic manner and penchant for picking at people's personal issues and complexes can be rude and inconsiderate to downright hurtful. She can be spiteful to varying levels, getting into what she considered wars of passive-aggression with her mother, or tearing her planet apart for answers in reaction to learning the futility of their situation. And despite her typical cool-headedness, she can be quite reckless, particularly in conjunction with all that spite. She doesn't necessarily trust easily, but she put her faith in dark powers with the assumption that she was in control and for a time succumbed to them in a fit of rage. And at one of her lowest points, she fell into alcoholism for a time and required the intervention of friends and family to pull her out of it.
As for what motivates her, Rose is fairly pragmatic. When not being driven by rage and spite, she seemed to proceed through the game largely driven by survival and doing what needed to be done to escape their situation and create winning circumstances for themselves. She also has something of a rebellious streak, which pushes her to fight against their seemingly hopeless situation as much as it pushed her to bristle under her mother's excessive affections and interpret them as insincere. Beyond this current iteration of her, we see all this also in the versions from alternate timelines and universes - the Rose from Future Dave's timeline, for example, who helped do what she could to gain all information possible for their past selves before resigning herself to nonexistence when that timeline was erased; or the adult Rose in the alpha universe, who rebelled against Her Imperial Condescension first through subtle criticisms in her novels and eventually through outright fighting until her death at the empress' hand.
Her motivations in playing the game in the first place were likely more personal, however, as it's implied she wanted to play based on Jade's predicition that it would allow her to bring back her dead cat, who she quietly missed a lot. Rose seemed like a lonely girl once you got through all her layers of stoicism and detachment, with no mention of friends outside her little group of online friends, and likely just wanted the bit of companionship once more as much as she just wanted to play a game with her friends.
Flavor Abilities: N/A
Suitability: I believe this setting will test the development Rose has experienced over the course of canon. Her fatal flaw has always been hubris, and her greatest struggles were largely the result of fixating on problems in need of solving and stubbornly trying to handle everything on her own. She tends towards anger when upset, and pushing others away could be disastrous in this situation.
I think the mysteries of the setting along with the survival aspect of everything will very easily draw her focus and she's likely to become almost scarily intense about it. Rose has always been ready to fight the universe itself if she has to, and it could be very easy for her to fall back into old habits here, particularly given some of the exposure effects she could potentially be hit with. She'll want to dive headfirst into figuring the situation out, and she could very easily become obsessive or irritable with anyone suggesting she rein it in or that she can't handle something.
Even given the loss of all her godly powers, she'll still be distressingly prepared to take on everything and tear the town apart for answers, regardless of whether that's really the best solution. She'll have to keep her arrogance and independence in check and trust more in others if she wants to succeed here.

[The tablet was doing things again. This time, it was a new application, one that seemed harmless enough at first but unsurprisingly came up with a distressing message once run. Of course.
Being told by her tablet after some kind of body scan that parasites were detected is certainly...uncomfortable. She frowns at the device in her lap, fighting the urge to squirm as if she could already feel something inside her. She couldn't, of course. It was a reaction not unlike spontaneously feeling itchy the moment someone brought up poison ivy. Whatever the tablet was detecting probably wasn't going to suddenly kill her in the next thirty seconds just because she'd read an alert about it. Better to stay calm.
She navigates her way to the network, even taking the time to quickly adjust her settings to the ridiculous font color she favors. See how calm she is? So calm.]
@tentacleTherapist:
And here I was, assuming the "DIAGNOSTICS.EXE" application that just showed up might simply run a check of the tablet's condition.
Foolish of me, of course.
When is anything here not as horrific as possible?
That said, do we have anything vaguely resembling a doctor in the house?
Proper medical care would be preferred, but I suppose I could resort to some DIY surgery if necessary.
Anything can be a surgical tool if one simply tries hard enough, and I imagine it might be less painful than whatever is going to occur when these supposed parasites "transition".
Still, a second opinion couldn't hurt.
