Physical Description
Dave is similar in build to John, being somewhat lanky. He wears a graphic of a record on his shirt, which was sliced in half due to an incident with his bro. He wears a pair of sunglasses that look vaguely familiar. Previously, he wore a pair of purple pyjamas typical of Derse dreamers. However, due to STRANGE TIME SHENANIGANS, he is once more in his broken record shirt. The torso of which is white, while its sleeves are a bright red, similar to Dave's text colour. His hair is a rather light blond, arguably best described as a bleached white. Underneath his REALLY COOL SHADES, his eyes are red, implying pygmyism. He's also somewhat pale.
Weapons
Dave brings the ½ Bladekind strife specibus into play, and thus uses a variety of broken swords. He currently wields the Holy Deringer, though due to BRILLIANT TIME SHENANIGANS and BRILLIANT SYLLADEX SHENANIGANS, he also brings with him Caledscratch and the Scarlet Ribbitar.
Abilities/Powers
Similar to his brother/genetic father, Dave has the ability to flash step. Dave also, as the Knight of Time, has the power of time travel, allowing him to establish time loops which work to bring about the events of his present and the time point's future. The loops must be stable and internally consistent, otherwise offshoot timelines ensue and "dead daves start piling up and dead daves are the enemy remember".
Skills
No one can beat Dave at rapping. He is simply the best there is. He is also quite amazing with irony. Dave also, due in part to numerous strifes with his BRO, shows incredible skill with a sword. He is arguably less skilled with a SORD, however. Quite surprisingly, and perhaps ever so slightly ironically, he also shows skill as both an amateur photographer and an artist.
Personality
It's obvious that Dave is really fucking cool. He jeers at John's inability to set up his Captchalogue Sylladex when John asks him for help and berates John's interests constantly. Dave is much more skilled than the other three kids, who either through their own cluelessness, admission, or silliness are less capable than he is. Through the conversations of Pesterchum and his own introduction, Dave already has his Strife Specibus set and he has one of the most advanced Sylladices available, giving him a huge advantage over the other three characters. Jade may be able to maximize the use of her Sylladex due to her precognitive abilities, but under normal circumstances it'd be close to entirely useless. His current Fetch Modus is Hash Map, a more advanced version of John's. He helped John with his Strife Specibus and Kind Abstratus. Despite this, Dave is prone to making occasional mistakes with his Modus, such as spilling apple juice on his turntables, firing his ninja sword at a rambunctious crow, and shooting many deadly shuriken at himself.
His incredible coolness also enables him to stay level-headed when dealing with supernatural things, (like SBURB) incredible things (like Meteors or Time Travel), or generally disconcerting things (like seeing his own corpse or talking about his Dead Friends). Only two things seem to deter him. Puppets, and the body of his slain bro. Though he does make an attempt to hide it under his layer of stoicism, he's seemingly rather shaken up as he talks to Terezi, stating “I'm not a hero. John is. My bro was. I'm not.”
Despite being the coolest thing since Betty Crocker, Dave seems to be easily influenced by John. He has never removed John's gift, citing irony as the reason, and John's talk of the monster Howie Mandel stopped him from enjoying his apple juice. Also, it is important to note that Dave never feared his brother's puppets until John pointed out how unnerving they were. It might be that Dave is just an easily influenced person based on his inner desire to be super cool, but he has no problem keeping his distance with Rose.
Speaking of said brother, Dave does not seem to carry the same feelings of angst toward his brother that John and Rose carry towards their parental figures -- rather, he regards his brother with respect, even emulating him by picking up his interests and wearing his shades.
Although he is one of the most capable of the three kids, Dave does have a glaring weakness - his arrogance. His refusal to accept the surreal actually happening and his stubbornness to listen can be a critical issue when dealing with anything in SBURB. Dave is likely prone to ignore important commands, stubbornly push forward toward bad ideas, get into confrontations with highly skilled characters, or not release important information because he's just too cool to do that.
He seems to be a bit forgetful too. He always loses his place in the latest MS Paint Adventure, sets several sylladex traps, only to release them on himself moments later, he completely forgets to pour out some apple juice for his Lil Cal, he forgets all about his timetables at one point, and thus, forgets he can go back in time, and he even manages to forget his own intentions to forget Terezi's name. Though that one could arguably be him being ironic again.
Dave keeps a calm facade up to the exact moment he flies off the handle. This has happened when something makes him look stupid, like being buried under a mountain of puppet dick or having crows invade his personal space. He also seems to have trouble facing his own mortality. He spent a good bit of time staring at the blood of his deceased time-traveling copy(even though he joked it away), and he couldn't reach the God Tiers because he wasn't ready to face his own death.
Underneath his cool facade he appears to be rather caring towards animals; he was visibly upset when he accidentally harmed a rambunctious crow and he seems to share Jade's interest in anthropomorphically persuaded fauna. However, this might just be one of his many ironic gestures. Regardless, his gift to Jade - a picture of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff as furries - seems pretty sincere.
Dave's dream self sleeps on Derse, in his room along with a dream Lil Cal. Notably, there are drawings of the sweetest of bros and the hellest of Jeffs on the walls of his dream room. His dream self is said to have been awake all along without Dave's knowledge.
He's friendly with Rose Lalonde but finds her rather exasperating and demanding. Their conversations tend to degenerate into showdowns between his ironic coolness and her grandiose eloquence. On other occasions he confided to her about his growing anxiety over puppets, and of course flipped when Rose gave the impression that her elaborate dream suicide would be the more traditional kind.
Jade Harley's bubbly, emoticon-laden text might seem to mark her as the traditional prey of the coolkid, but Dave doesn't seem to mind it at all. Conversely Jade appears to take Dave's coolness at face value. He's been guiding and consoling her after she entered the Medium. Arguably, he's as close to her as he is John, going so far as to help her collect frogs(though this is actually a clever plan).
His interests are described as having a penchant for spinning out unbelievably ill jams with his turntables and mixing gear. He has passion to talk about bands that no one has ever heard of but him. He also has a more bizarre hobby of collecting weird dead things preserved in various ways. He also is an amateur photographer, and has his own makeshift darkroom, and operates a number of ironically humorous blogs, websites and social networking profiles, including a webcomic called Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. At any moment he'll drop some phat rhymes on a mofo and obviously represent. When away from his desktop computer, he communicates using his iShades.
Dave also never shuts up. He's the coolest kid around and the world needs to hear about it, dammit. He's quite fond of innuendo, and is often what some would describe as 'barely restrained homoerotic'.
History
Dave's story begins in his room, talking to his bro about a new game. So began his adventures in SBURB.
Dave, unlike John and Rose, had no interest in SBURB and thought it was a total piece of shit, going as so far as to blow off Rose and further antagonize John for wanting to play the game - and to warn John to stay away from it. However, he ultimately ended up joining into save Rose Lalonde, using his brother's server copy. Jade, perhaps somewhat unfortunately for Dave, was therefore to be HIS server player.
Getting into the Medium was quite challenging for Dave, though not as difficult as Jade's rather ridiculous prerequisites. Dave was given one task: hatch an egg. Unfortunately, his feathery asshole of a sprite(more on this in a sec) took it to the top of a tower along with various smuppets and swords. His attempt to recover it proved fruitless, as the FEATHERY ASSHOLE simply knocked him from the tower it had taken as its own. With a meteor fast approaching, he was saved by his AWESOME BRO, who cut the meteor in half at the same time that Dave's egg hatched, whisking him away to the medium.
Jade, due in part to being asleep at the time, prototyped Dave's sprite with the rambunctious crow he accidentally slew with a Sylladex mix-up. He originally (in an alternate timeline) double-prototyped the sprite with Lil Cal after entering the Medium.. However, since this new sprite was a useless guide, not to mention annoying as fuck (also because John and Jade were dead), Dave went back in time and double-prototyped the sprite with himself, taking over as a guide for his past self.
Rather ironically, Dave ended up being one of the most skilled players, despite his earlier resentment of the game. With a bit of help from both Davesprite, Terezi, and a few future Dave's, he became quite wealthy. To elaborate, Dave received a boonbuck from John and funneled it into the network of investment scams that he had set up to make a goddamn killing. He gave a past version of himself the thumbs-up to trust Terezi, and then started his own time adventures. To be fair, he did give essentially all of this to Terezi, but it was necessary to maintain a stable time loop. At some point he found bro's corpse on the Land of Wind and Shade(or LOWAS), and failed to retrieve Bro's katana from it. Shortly after John's ascension, he travelled to his own quest bed on Terezi's instruction to kill an alternate timeline self, but struggled to come to terms with the notion and abandoned it.
He later travelled to the Land of Frost and Frogs, witnessing Jade space-warping fight with an Uranium Imp. Shortly thereafter he contacted Jade and had her deploy an Intellibeam Laserstation in his house to allow him to duplicate his server disc, effectively becoming Jade's new server player in lieu of John's inability to continue the role. He then deployed a heavily upgraded alchemiter to replace the equipment broken in Jade's entry to the Medium. Near the end of the timeline, he helps Jade collect frogs for breeding, speeding up the process through time travel. The two were attacked by Jack Noir, and Dave was killed when Jack warped Jade's bullets into shooting him in the back. Though he had seen this coming due to time shenanigans, and was in fact prepared for it, he didn't tell Jade, citing “she probably wouldnt have even shot”. This is one of the many hints that Dave is a fair bit more clever than he at first seems.
Dave woke up as his dreamself, after being revived by Jade, and assisted Rose on derse in planning the destruction of the Green Sun. Dave planned on making the suicide run to the Green Sun himself, if only to save his ectobiological sister's life, but Rose had other plans, knocking him out with a ball of yarn. The two engaged in a debate over her actions in Dave's unconscious-unconscious state, Dave once more showing a slight chink in his outer stoicism. He was supposed to make the ultimate sacrifice, dammit, not her. He was awoken, however, by a gent in his dreaming dream killing his... dreamself's dreamself. He awoke with a start, now having a mission. He grabbed the Holy Deringer that he'd used to detatch Derse's moon, blasting off after the other two.
However, he was taken off-guard when a portal of sorts appeared in front of him, with him having too much inertia to avoid it. He went in, the dimensional rift seemingly disagreeing with his captchalogued timetables...
Other
Dave types in red text, using no caps or punctuation except for the occasional “
” or “...”, with the even rarer capslocked word. When not typing, of course, Dave speaks in an almost monotone voice, sans the occasional calm amusement. He raps fast and hard, and his lyrics are SO sick.
