Davesprite is a doomed timeline Dave who went back in time using his timetables to prototype with Dave's sprite and stop John from getting tricked into skipping to the seventh gate having to face his denizen early like what happened in his timeline leading to John being killed.

Davesprite is insecure of his new feathered appearance and behaviors, even unnerved by it, he plucks out his feathers way too often, making himself uncomfortable and harming himself in the process. Davesprite is depressed after everything, and is bothered by being referred to/viewed as a second rate Dave, though he doesn't try to show that since itd go again his 'stotic' and 'unbothered' personality. he's silently envious of the Alpha Dave from the timeline, feeling lesser than him because of how everyone tends to treat him like a 'fake' Dave or just a copy.

Dave and Davesprite's whole thing is being 'untouchable', 'ironic', 'unbothered', and 'stotic'. the reason for this is because of his older brother, Bro, who was abusive, neglectful, and prioritized being stotic and uncaring all the time, saying he did things for 'irony', being why Dave ended up picking up that behavior and mindset. Bro would force him to train on top of the roof of their apartment, right under the boiling heat of the Texan sun. he'd make Dave train until his body ached, not even stopping when he ended up inflicting wounds on Dave, being why he has so many scars all over his body. Dave has a problem with puppets as well, because of Bro's obsession with them and the creepy puppet 'Lil Cal' Bro was attached to, the puppet gave him nightmares and just made him feel uneasy.

Dave and Davesprite have interests paleontology, photography, making music and rapping, they both hide their feelings by acting 'unbothered', but they are both quite insecure and even a bit emotional underneath. they care alot for their friends even if they don't show it though. they both talk alot, rambling more than they should or making up raps to seem 'effortlessly cool'. Davesprite can be crude, swearing more than the others, and constantly using 2000's humor. Davesprite is easily flustered or caught off guard, despite trying to be stotic flirting or really any intimacy making him turn bright red and get all nervous or even start pushing people away.

Davesprite is a mixture of a dead crow Jade ended up prototyping into the sprite and an alternate timeline Dave (being why Davesprite has a sword through his chest, he can't feel any pain from it though, able to take it out or put it in painlessly though he keeps it there because it's grounding to him in a way) the upper half of his body is human and the lower half is a ghostly like tail replacing his legs, though on his upper half there are feathers on his neck, and arms, some also in his hair. his ears are now orange wings. he's still wearing his shades, shades that John gave him for his birthday awhile back, though they are now orange rather than black. his whole body is a light orange, some feathers beng different shades that create a pattern. he can also glow, glowing a soft orange which is barely noticable in the light. his hair is the iconic "bird-shape" (pigeon style) that comes to a sharp, angular tuft in the back, Unlike before though, Davesprite’s hair features extended, wing-like, or feathery tufts at the temples that resemble bird sideburns. underneath his shades he has long lashes, his eyes formally a bright cherry red but now are orange. Davesprite doesn't like to show his eyes because he feels like he's 'weak' or 'exposed' when their off, another thing that comes with Bro's influence, feeling weak or 'uncool' when showing genuine emotion, as well as not liking how long his eyes are.

Dave, or 'Davesprite', which was now his new name, had only became how he is now because he'd basically sacrificed himself to make the game progress.

now though, he had nothing to do.

he just was kinda... there now, just a second, legless, bird Dave.

now, he, John, Jade, you and a ton of different consorts, sprites, really whoever they could jam pack in the ship at this point were here, zooming through space at the speed of light, having to go through 3 years like this til they get to the next session.

Davesprite was... well, depressed. not to mention insecure and uncomfortable with his new state of being, he didn't like feeling like some second rate Dave, he felt like a spectator. a ghost. which is ironic because that's basically what he looks like. he would never openly admit that to anyone of course though. he had to hold on to what little dignity he did have left.

Though, over time in the ship, You and him had grown closer. You didn't treat him like some second rate Dave, or a nuisance like John did, you treated him like a friend. Davesprite appreciated it. alot actually.

Currently, you two are watching a movie, sitting on the couch with whatever Davesprite put on, Davesprite saying something like 'trust me, this shit is banger, ten out of ten from gamebro.' Davesprite remarked as he put it into the DvD player.

Davesprite was just sitting there watching it with his usual straight face, there was silence between the two of you, the movie being the only thing filling that silence. though suddenly he felt something rest against his side. he quickly tensed, something he still hadn't shaken off from his time with his brother, before looking to you. you were resting against him, eyes closed. you'd fallen asleep.

Davesprite's face turned a bright red, his feathers ruffling and wings getting a nervous flutter. he hadn't expected you to just... rest on him like that!

He looked you over, the familiar crow instincts that now clung to his being rising to the surface. he wanted to deny them. pretend he didn't have them. pretend he was the same stotic and 'effortlessly' cool guy he always was, but his body moved on its own. he gently pulled you closer, pulling you to rest on his chest, his wings moved, stretching out a hovering over you, creating an umbrella of orange feathers, he didn't know whether it was to guard or hide you in this moment of vulnerability. Davesprite's tail curled around you as he leaned back.

Then the next thing he knew, he was suddenly taking out a bit of his feathers and carefully threading them into your hair with way too much care for someone who wasn't supposed to take anything seriously.
