Character Name: The Summoner (No idea of last name but some variation of "Peter" would be hilarious.) Character Series: Homestuck Character Age: Young adult. 11-12 sweeps/24-26 years Background:MSPA wiki Personality: The ancestors don't get much screentime, if at all, but Summoner's life and basic personality are described in Mindfang's journal, and it's also been mentioned that they share many similarities with their descendants in basic personality traits. However, because of their vastly different lives, they could be quite different. Summoner is one case, because where his descendent fell to depression, meekness and poor self esteem due in part to the society he was forced to grow up in, Summoner gained the courage to fight back and rebel. On the other hand, it's implied (due to the legends that sprang up about him involving taking children away to paradise) that he shares his sense of compassion for everyone, even people he should rightly hate.
Summoner was born very nearly the lowest of the low in a very strict caste system, and eventually rose to lead a violent rebellion against his "betters" so to say he unquestioningly respects authority would be an outright lie. However, that isn't to say that he has no respect for authority, just that he despises inequality, and will boldly try to thwart it where he can. Merit is the only thing that he'll give his respect to, and if he doesn't believe an authority figure has merit he'll give them merry (and not so merry) hell.
He's charismatic and a skilled leader, military and otherwise, and was able to convince the downtrodden and meek to rise up even against those far more powerful than them. He has the loyalty and bravery to command unquestioning respect. He's also described as the most fearless and skilled of the Cavalreapers. He has the perseverance, the intelligence, and tactics to turn his men into a fighting force to be reckoned with, resulting in a nearly successful rebellion. He also had the strength of personality and attractive qualities to make Mindfang become his matesprit, but also the ability to put his feelings aside and kill her when it was necessary. He fought with his rebels loyally presumably to the very end, and resulted in the adults being banished from the planet and the stories of "Pupa Pan" to start up. Pupa Pan, in this case, being the troll analogue of Peter Pan, and the allusions drawn are very intentional. Summoner's character is a shout out to the various Peter Pan stories.
From these allusions to Peter Pan (and Rufio) it can be assumed that he has some things in common with those characters. Things like a propensity towards mischief, whimsy, and a sense of justice and intense compassion for others. He loves all kinds of adventure and fun and games and is chock full of joie de vivre. Unfortunately this means he can also be inconsistent and too proud for his own good on occasion, but life experiences have tempered his worst qualities down a little to more manageable levels. Where Peter Pan and Rufio were only boys, Summoner is very much an adult and a trained soldier. He did learn discipline and self-control along the way.
Compassion, love of equality, fierce pride and bravery, adventurous, and passion in general are a good way to sum him up.
Abilities: General troll abilities: Stronger and more durable than a human, with better senses (especially vision and probably hearing--they're a nocturnal species).
Flight: He has huge wings in his own body and is fully flight capable. The wings are probably more delicate than the rest of him and they also leave behind a trail of bronze glittery dust everywhere but they're more than strong enough to keep him aloft and maneuverable for as long as his stamina holds out.
Psychic Ability, Communion: Communion is said to be a very rare and powerful ability. With it he is able to control and understand/communicate with any beast or creature, including those that are effectively gods. There's a certain amount of finesse involved, but he was capable of commanding a whole army of loyal beasts with his abilities so he's quite skilled in using it.
Sample Entry:
[The voice on the phone sounds too chipper to be allowed. And yet, he obviously exists and is indeed that energetic.]
Good morning! Haha! My words to the sky mornings are breathtaking. I'm thankful I got the chance to see them in person.
[A pause, and his voice edges into a tone that's slightly more serious under the upbeat tone.]
But mornings aren't what I want to talk about. I've been here long enough to get my bearings now. There's something I noticed. On the surface we don't look very organized! The surface hides many things. I know that well. So if there's organization and information being shared I want to know about it.
If there isn't we need to start one! Some of us have been here long. Others just arrived. We all have experience and knowledge that can be put to use. If we stand together nothing will see us fall!
Come. My fellows we must work together to find our way home.
