How do god tiers die
It may also be just a biological evolutionary response to be trapped in the dark for the rest of their lives. Porrim as a rainbow drinker. From various bits of dialogue, one can glean that she has an interest in fashion, has had a fair bit of experience in the more concupiscent aspects of troll romance, and has better mastery of her abilities as a rainbow drinker than Kanaya.
A dancestor is a term coined by Porrim Maryam in the first part of Openbound, and later reiterated by Horuss Zahhak in the third part. Although the B2 kids had planned to kill each other or themselves they were very hesitant, and in the end they all died in explosions caused by Jack Noir and the Condesce, which destroyed the moons of Prospit and Derse respectively.
Aranea and Meenah also reached god tier status in their session, along with others. Does Dave reach God tier? Dave wakes up as his dream self and assists Rose on Derse in planning the destruction of the Green Sun. Dave, upon reaching god tier as the fully realized Knight of Time. How old is Equius? Age: 6 solar sweeps equivalent to roughly 13 earth years. Origins: Homestuck. Remember she became a sprite before fusing with her soulbot after she prototyped the frog head from the Temple she visited once.
However, he still got his fake god tier outfit. Other characters have stated that they plan on dropping off Gamzee on Earth in the future so that he can raise the cherubs. Kanaya and Porrim have the same wings as their Virgin Mother Grub lusus. They may also be modeled after their horns from the highly pointed shape of them. In the retconned timeline, Dave and Karkat developed a much closer relationship during the meteor trip, possibly due to not having to compete over Terezi. Both Jane and Jake live in the present while Roxy and Dirk live in a future ruled by an alien queen.
Half of corpse is absorbed into Lil Cal, merging souls with Caliborn and Arquius. Following the events of the retcon, he remains deceased. It truly echoed the horror of the Vast Honk itself. The argument can be made that they may have gained levels during their partly unseen trickster mode adventures. Jane, for example, solved her quest to bring her planet back to life with a single trickster energy blast. Accompanying the ascension is a new hooded outfit for the newly-ascended god—a "godhood", as it were.
The shape of the clothing is defined by their class , while the color and symbol of the outfit is determined by their aspect. For no given reason, the player's choice of eyewear is also included in the outfit, even if just an accessory such as Dave's shades , although this could be because of specific items being on their person at the time, considering Dave and Dirk still had their swords with them after ascension.
Whether a player who needed corrective lenses still has impaired vision after ascending isn't clear - Vriska was upset at losing her glasses, but didn't seem to need them. It may vary from player to player. Ascension can also repair old injuries and unwanted bodily alterations, which seems to vary from player to player.
For example, when Vriska ascended, her lost arm and eye were restored, while Caliborn retained his robotic leg and gold tooth, and Jade ended up looking mostly human, but retained Jadesprite's dog ears and some of her dog instincts.
This seems to be similar to how Terezi's dream self reflected Terezi's injury , while Vriska and Tavros's dream selves did not. An alternate timeline version of Tavros with working legs was also seen in Caliborn: Enter , and while that very well might support the pattern, it could also be the result of a timeline where he was never paralyzed.
As for tattoos, Dirk still retained his after ascending, though it is unclear whether Jake still retained his possibly not, since he seems to dislike it. According to what the trolls believe, the process required to ascend is a test issued by Sburb to see if the player in question is willing to face their own demise in order to obtain greater power.
In the course of the sessions seen, 13 characters have undergone a confirmed ascension, and only one of them has done so unequivocally willingly; Dave and Terezi even explicitly denied the ability to face their own deaths.
John was killed by Jack Noir and Jade by the Courtyard Droll 's shaving-cream bomb, but other characters arranged their transportation to their Quest Beds. Vriska chose to die in her Quest Cocoon only after she was beaten half to death by Aradia. Aradia's dream self was sleeping in her Quest Cocoon at the heart of Derse when she was killed by Jack Noir's powers. Likewise, Dave and Rose died in the wake of their creation of the Green Sun , though they did not make any attempt to escape the explosion and had previously accepted this task as a suicide mission, arguably making them the only ones to face their own death properly.
Although the B2 kids had planned to kill each other or themselves they were very hesitant, and in the end they all died in explosions caused by Jack Noir and the Condesce, which destroyed the moons of Prospit and Derse respectively. Aranea and Meenah also reached god tier status in their session, along with others.
While no details have been revealed about Aranea's ascension, Meenah was beaten to death by Damara. Meenah also speculates that Damara was fatally injured during the same fight and taken to her Quest Cocoon by Rufioh, a possible parallel to Vriska and Aradia's situation in [S] Make her pay.
Damara does not, however, confirm any of this or if her alpha self ascended at all. The key aspect of the power of god tier players relates to their mythological aspect: the level of power they exert over is significantly enhanced to the point of near-complete control. Having only one self left, god tier players dream in the dream bubbles of the Furthest Ring. It is unclear if Vriska's ability to enter and interfere with the nightmares of the Wayward Vagabond is related to this or an independent phenomenon.
The physical result of ascension to the god tiers has ties to the cultural image of perfection and the perception of what godhood should be like for the species in question. Since troll biology is largely based on insect-like metamorphosis, fairies are often seen as an imaginary ideal, in the same way that a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Consequently, the god tier trolls gain butterfly wings. Mindfang 's journal mentions that Tavros' ancestor , the Summoner , revealed wings similar to the ones trolls receive upon ascending to god tier status, though this was eventually revealed to be a mutation unrelated to the god tier wings, which even his pre- scratch version had.
Wings can be concealed, as seen with Vriska and Meenah. A player can also choose not to wear their god tier outfit. Meenah does not usually wear her god tier clothes, as she disliked the Thief outfit and Life color scheme. Aranea, Vriska and Meenah also changed between outfits at will, but this is likely due to the nature of dream bubbles.
Humans have no real cultural equivalent to the trolls' wing ideals, and so instead merely get the outfit. Jade, however, retains the animal ears of Jadesprite upon ascension, which could be concurrent with her ideal for the pinnacle of human form and its manifestation in her love for anthropomorphic fauna. It should be noted that Aradia did not retain any visual frog traits, due to her frog sprite being prototyped with the ghost of her original self, as opposed to her dream self.
It appears that ascension to god tier also permanently disconnects a player from the Computer Terminals used by Exiles to give them commands, since John's and Vriska's ascensions caused the terminals used by their exiles to go dark, as seen respectively here and here.
No god tier player has ever been shown receiving a command from a terminal. It is unclear if a player needs further training to use the full extent of their aspect's power after ascending.
Jade and Aradia demonstrated immediate mastery over their power. However, it should be noted that they were likely aware of what these powers were and how to use them due to each integrating with a version of themself that was once a Sprite.
John was able to use his powers soon after ascension, but had already previously learned about his ability to control the breeze. The B2 Kids show no immediate understanding of their powers upon ascension and are instead easily overwhelmed by their aggressors. There are several abilities that all god tier players gain, regardless of their associated aspect and title, such as the ability to fly and the ability to surpass the need for a strife specibus and presumably use any weapon if they level up enough.
In the Epilogues , it is shown that god-tiers can take a higher amount of damage than mortals, as shown when John casually resisted the heat from a column of air above lava.
