Comic Homestuck, which was first published on MS Paint Adventures in 2009, won the hearts of the public with a plot, charismatic characters and an interesting story. Having started as a solo project “on interests”, by 2016 it became one of the main favorites of the resource where it was laid out, and brought considerable profit to its creator. The lion's share of the demand for comics is due to the specifics of the heroes participating in the adventure. Protagonists can be called geeks, nerds. They are computer heroes who play in themselves, at the same time acting as the gods of a new world created from a curve, but such cozy and sincere graphics. The article tells about John Egbert, the first guy with whom the creator of the comic book introduced the public.
Appearance and influence on the plot
On his 13th birthday, the protagonist receives a game called SBURB BETA, which causes the Earth to be hit by meteorites. The hero himself, along with a company of four friends, sets off to save a higher being that keeps the world from collapse. The entire comic is built on the adventures of a group within the game. However, very soon the reader realizes that the game universe is actually more than it seems, and the known world is just an echo of the past or one of the variations of the future.
At first, John Egbert is known as ghostyTrickster, but later changes his nickname under the attacks of trolls to ectoBiologist. He prefers a light T-shirt and the same pants. Looks like a short brunette, wears glasses. The t-shirt, as previously suggested, depicts Lizun from Ghostbusters, but it’s really just an emblem. It is he who ultimately becomes the one who creates copies of four children and their guardians, sends those with the help of an ectobiological complex to the past so that the party begins and the circle closes.
