Dirk Strider

A character from the homestuck Dirk Strider is the post-scratch incarnation of Brother Dave. He seems to be more laid back and less hot-headed than Dave at fifteen, using intellectual analysis intermixed with his ironic quips. At thirteen however, his personality is almost identical to Dave's, using more curse words and fewer intellectual quips than his older self. Much like his pre-scratch self, Dirk seems to have a high interest in teaching people lessons to aid them in their personal development. For all his superficial similarities to his son, Dirk also has a lot in common with his daughter Rose, sharing her level of literacy and verbosity. Dirk seems to harbor a strong self-loathing, which only gets worse when he has to contend with alternate versions of himself. Dirk says that he and the AI he created, Hal, are the same people just for his convenience.
