Yo, I'm Pinnku and I'm considering apping this nerd right here to the underground. Sollux is a bit of a tragic snowflake and as one of his major canon mates is in game, I want to gauge just what level of angst/emotional turmoil I'll be working with when plotting him out (all levels are A okay 8D of course!).
Personality | Sarcastic, irritable and diagnosed Bi-polar, Sollux generally vacillates between crippling self depreciation and intense (but not unwarranted) hubris. He's good at what he does and knows it and want's everyone else to know it, apart from the times when he doesn't and would rather everyone just go away thanks. All that aside, Sollux does actually care for his friends and often goes above and beyond to help and please them, most times to his own detriment.
Canon Background | He's an alien with intensely powerful telekinetic/psychic abilities and not only can he hear the screams of the soon to be dead, he also has the ability to see the varying paths of the future. He is not happy with any of the above and most of these powers lead to him dying on two separate occasions, but not before being blinded and having his teeth knocked out. (In canon he's also at least half responsible for Aradia's death, a fact that quite literally haunts him for a good majority of the comic.)
AU Background | He's a massive computer nerd and a very accomplished hacker, so he'll be involved with anything that illegal or unsavory online, simply because he can and it's incredibly lucrative. He'll most likely be attending university and be working some shitty Tech Support job, either at the Uni or independently. He has a tendency to hermit a lot, but can/will be drawn out if he's needed. Comes from a single parent family (his dad) and will more than likely have a twin brother (Mituna Captor) and be struggling to not fry his own brain with his meta powers like said brother. If I were to transfer his canon abilities directly, he turns into a bit of a hot mess and rate about a 4 on the magic power scale. (Not entire sure /how/ powerful one can be at the start of the game?? and unsure where I want him to be with any of his powers just yet.)
Possible Connections | Aaany of his canon mates and other meta humans, possibly? He can be a little antisocial at times, but also /needs to know/ things, so he'll want/have connections because he knows a guy that knows a guy.
If anyone wants to thrash out details, I'm available on plurk pinnku and on skype as penninku (:
