/tan/ - Board-tans

/homosuck/-tan, previously known as HSG and sometimes derisively referred to as Stucky, is a young white man, possibly even still a minor, with short wavy red hair, pale skin with freckles, and green eyes. He wears a green hoody in the same hue as greentext stories, and underneath a grey shirt with a green clover on it to refer to halfchan (the community originally came from halfchan and when it moved to 8chan none of /homosuck/-tan's design was altered - an older version was suggested, but it didn't stick). His pants are simple dark grey jeans, and his shoes can vary but are usually also kept simple.

/homosuck/-tan, then still HSG, was created years ago as a representation of the Homestuck fandom on halfchan: the Homestuck General threads on half/co/. Alongside personifications of the fandom on Tumblr, DeviantArt, and the Microsoft Paint Adventures Forum, he was part of a fan-created alternate universe called "Metastuck" in which the sites themselves partook in their own session of Sburb, the game featured in the Homestuck comic. After HSG threads got banned from half/co/ in 2014, the community eventually moved over to 8chan, where it continues to limp along even as Homestuck has ended for over a year.

As a person, /homosuck/-tan can come across as a bit manic. Sometimes he's as chill as they come, sometimes (more likely) he's perpetually pissed off and ready to snap at a moment's notice. He enjoys antagonising people for the hell of it, making hurtful remarks and pointing out any instances of hypocrisy while declaring himself superior. To some extent, he doesn't like how isolated this leaves him, but he doesn't care enough to stop it that he'd try to change or restrain himself. In other words, /homosuck/-tan has a lot of characteristics typically found in the average anon, which isn't very surprising considering he was created to represent halfchan to an extent.

/homosuck/-tan has few relationships in his life. While he used to hang out with MSPAF, Tumblr and DA, his feelings for them ranged from utter disgust to mild fondness (at best), and nowadays they've long since parted ways. Back on half/co/, he was essentially the unwanted redheaded stepchild (hence him being a ginger) and now that he's ascended from thread-tan to board-tan, the two boards are perfect strangers. /homosuck/-tan is also sometimes portrayed as being haunted by ghosts, a reference to empty "ghost posts" that would pop up in HSG back in the day, although neither party interacts with the other beyond being in their vicinity.

One notable aversion in /homosuck/-tan's otherwise solitary life is Roxykitten. She's a cloned infant catgirl version of Homestuck character Roxy Lalonde who /homosuck/-tan adopted for some reason despite his seemingly young age. Roxykitten is a caucasian catgirl with short white hair, but black-furred cat ears and a black cat tail. Her eyes are a simple black, and she wears a pink bow in her hair. Roxykitten dresses in either a violet shirt with a pink cat emblem, a purple skirt and pink shoes with purple socks, or a simple pink onesie with pink socks. Behaviorwise, she can vary from infantlike to catlike, which causes /homosuck/-tan no small deal of annoyance. But even so, he continues to care for her as any parent would.
