Sylladex Types

There are a lot of sylladices in Homestuck, and we mean a lot. Just as sylladex shenanigans faded out as Homestuck went on, so do they disappear in RPGStuck. Still, it’s one of the neater details you can flesh out about your character!

Each sylladex has two components you have to choose when putting it together, a captchalogue deck and a fetch modus. There are four types of captchalogue decks:

• Default, which lets you captchalogue items about as big as you.
• Light, which limits the size of items you can captchalogue, but you can eject them further.
• Heavy, which lets you captchalogue items bigger than you, but limits how far you can eject them.
• Packrat, which makes strifing with sylladex ejection untenable, but lets you pack more items into your modus and lets you captchalogue bigger items like the Heavy option. If you pick this, make sure to unhide the rows under the sylladex section to reveal the extra space.

For your fetch modus, you have to pick a skill; what skill is most associated with the fetch modus? You won’t actually have to make a check with this skill whenever you want to take an item out. That said, you do use it in place of an attack roll when you eject something.

Details

Finally, now that we have the difficult stuff covered, let’s get to know the character you’ve just created! When building a character, feel free to personalize it! Go back and reskin choices you have made so far, to better reflect the unique personality of your weird apocalypse causing teenager. As a rule of thumb, we encourage players to change up whatever they like, so long as the numbers behind the flavor text remain!

• Name: Everyone has one, so should your character. Reminder that the standard for first and last name lengths is 4 and 6/7 for humans, and 6 and 6 for trolls. Most folks aren’t terribly strict on the human names.
• Gender: Are you a boy? Or a girl? …Or something in between, look we’re not a poke-professor and don’t judge in binaries.
• Handle: Dig out your thesaurus and throw us your best pseudobabble terms to help vaguely portray your character in two words or less!
• Dream Moon, Classpect, Land: You won’t be filling this out juuuuust yet. You’ll learn what your character has as their session unfolds.
• Quirk: When designing a troll quirk, remember that whatever you select will be something you need to type in for quite a long time. And while humans don’t really do the quirk thing, this is a great time to consider their text color, and the cadence with which they type!
• Guardian: For trolls, this means a lusus. For humans, some adult relation of dubious origins who may or may not have picked your character out of a crater as a baby.
• Hobbies: Everyone has some, even if it’s playing tabletop RPGs online.
• Personality Traits: What are your characters ideals and beliefs? How do they behave?
• Backstory: A history of what makes your character tick, and why they became the person they are now.
• Customization: If you have custom Steps, or reskinned specibi or powers you want to use with the sheet, go to the Customization tab and put it in there!
• Color: Presentation counts for something, after all. At the top of the sheet, go to Format, then click Theme. Select the current Custom theme the sheet has, then you can adjust the colors of the theme. You can find what colors correspond to what parts of the sheet at the bottom of the Mechanics tab. Try it out! Just… don’t replicate Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, please.
