john egbert! [ HOMESTUCK ]

John's interests are movies (especially Con Air), web comics, and video games. He enjoys paranormal lore, practical japery, and magic tricks, the latter of which he also performs. He also has a long-standing hatred of the Betty Crocker brand and can play the piano quite well.

His room has various items to suggest his hobbies, such as a Magic Chest filled with trick objects. His walls are littered with posters of old movies, web comics, and video games.

John tends to be a bit of a goofball, making bad jokes and using off-beat humor and subtle irony. He tends to be passive in nature, complying with commands not because they made logical sense, but because he was told to.

John is the kind of person who generally does not get emotionally wavered by events that would drive others to the brink, but instead gets riled up and irrationally stubborn over ridiculous minutia, to the amusement or confusion of others. In a sense, he is one of the most innocent people ever to exist.

John is more prone to bad ideas than his friends and is made the butt of a lot of jokes when chatting with them . John has a tendency to be given commands about making noises and shitting on things. Thankfully, he hasn't complied with any of these.

Appearance: John's physical appearance could be described as a kid with black messy hair. He has an obvious nerdy look about him, a trait inherited from his ectobiological mother. His white shirt has a picture of what appears to be Slimer from Ghostbusters, but is in fact a Japanese knock-off. He also wears rectangular glasses , and has a bucktoothed grin .

John's room is a room in John's house. As evidenced by the name, it is where John Egbert resides. It is full of various references to old bad movies, including movie-themed sheets and posters. A poster depicting Problem Sleuth can be found on one of the walls, while the one on his door depicts a green logo and the word "Sburb". Due to the fact that it was Johns birthday, there are also two cakes in the room, one found on top of his Magic Chest and the other found on his dresser next to a Rolled-Up Poster. A desk is also in the room, on which a computer and a copy of GameBro magazine can be found. A rack of CDs lies to the left of the desk. On the floor near his bed is a hammer and a couple of nails, and a calendar can be found on the wall above. The calnedar has the following dates highlighted: The release of Sburb Beta (April 10) and John's Birthday (April 13). A window is located directly next to his bed and by his calendar, which gives a nice view of a tree outside. A door in the room leads to the hallway.
