“	I HAVE PORED OVER EVERY NAUSEATING VERSE. IT HAS BEEN A TRUE EXERCISE IN AGONY. FEW COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND MY SUFFERING. BUT THAT'S OK. BECAUSE I'M NOT THE IDIOT KID I USED TO BE. NOW I KNOW. THAT WHAT IT TAKES FOR ME TO LEARN AND GROW STRONGER. IS EXCRUCIATING EFFORT. SO I HAVE A CHOICE. WHICH IS TO EITHER BE WEAK. WHEN WEAKNESS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. OR TO SUFFER. FOREVER. UNTIL NO ONE ELSE EXISTS. WHO IS STRONGER THAN ME.	„

I WILL DUEL AND CRUSH MY SLITHERING SEXUAL SNAKE BOSS, AND FINISH WHAT I STARTED WHEN I STEPPED MY METAL FOOT INTO THIS CHILDREN'S FARCE. I WILL DO THAT BECAUSE I WANT TO, AND WHEN THAT IS SAID AND DONE, AND YOU SEE ME AT THE PEAK OF A MOUNTAIN OF TROPHIES, RESTING ON MY THRONE OF PRIZES, I WANT TO GET TO TELL YOU THAT I DID WHAT I WANTED TO DO. SO IF YOU REMEMBER JUST ONE THING I SAY, OF SO MANY GREAT THINGS SAID BY ME, THEN PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. I WANTED TO PLAY A GAME.

GIRL. YOU THERE. GIRL. GIRL, QUIT ALL THIS SCURRYING AROUND. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE ME BEFORE I ARRIVE? HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO OUTRUN ME WHEN I AM ALREADY HERE?

Background

Caliborn is the true antagonist of Homestuck. He is one of the two Cherub Sburb players, alongside of his sister, Calliope. With burning hatred for his sister, he hired an alternate version of Jack Noir to kill her, prevailing in the battle of the two, then begins his quest of LOCAM (Land of Colors and Mayhem) to begin his quest for godhood.

By swiftly taking his own life on his quest bed, he ascends to God-Tier shortly afterwards: Becoming the Lord of Time. From thereon, he begins to mess with the narrative until confronted by John Egbert. After being defeated by John, Caliborn continues his quest to Godhood, defeating Yaldaboath, and gaining his treasure. By destroying the grandfather clock and absorbing the Juju's power, he becomes an ascended God-Tier, beginning his "masterpiece", where he summons the beta and alpha kids.

After sealing the former away in the juju (and then banishing the treasure to the Furthest Ring, making it extremely difficult to be found), he proceeds to stomp the latter until Jake English used the field of hope to knock him down, Arquius making a suprise appearence to hold him down, and Dirk Strider to start to extract his soul from his body. Allowing this to happen, Caliborn allows the soul of himself, Arquiusprite, and one half of Gamzee Makara to be sealed in to Lil' Cal, then travel all the way back in time, allowing to plant the seeds of his existence into unsuspecting people, allowing himself to will himself into existence once the universe is destroyed, becoming Lord English, an indestructible demon that proceeds to destroy all of existence to secure his own.

Powers and Abilities:

Sburb Player Physiology (Type 1), Breaking the Fourth Wall (Can hear the narration and the background music), Mind Manipulation with Lil' Cal (Can control Jack when he looks in Cal's eyes, making him stab himself), Limited Power Nullification with his Juju Breaker (Possesses the Juju Breaker, an object which cancel and destroy all Juju-like abilities), Self-Sustenance, passive Fate Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Probability Manipulation and Plot Manipulation (Type 4; has passive control over the forces of inevitability, which make it so all events, outcomes and causality serve and answer to him, to the point where he becomes responsible for everything that ever happens), Resistance to Gravity Manipulation (Unaffected by the gravitational attraction of his Kernelsprite)

All previous powers to a greater extent, Sburb Player Physiology (Type 2; Lord of Time), enhanced Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, and Plot Manipulation (Type 4; Now has more control over the outcomes of fate and causality, as well as superior control over the narrative. Possesses the Gift of Gab, allowing him to control the narrative at will), enhanced Accelerated Development (Can climb the echheladder by just standing around), Life Manipulation (Can create life), can "Unlock any lock" with the Skeleton Key Badge, Power Nullification (Can prevent the reader from going to the next page)

All previous powers to a greater extent, Invulnerability (Stated to be invulnerable. Was not harmed by Jake's Field of Hope despite being knocked down by it), Soul Manipulation and Sealing (Trapped the souls of the Beta Kids into the Juju), BFR (Banished the Juju into the Furthest Ring), Energy Projection (Stated he could make a "Rainbow Seizure Field" that could contest or overpower Jake's Field of Hope. Can create clockwork lasers), Resistance to Soul Manipulation (Even when being held down, Dirk could not destroy his soul) and Energy Projection (Jake's Field of Hope could not harm him)

All previous powers to a massively greater extent, Irreversible Damage and Existence Erasure (Type 5; His existence erasure works as a poison that is antithetical to the narrative and completely erased John Egbert without any hopes of recovery, as it was unable to heal from. His poison also is able to block healing on a metaphysical level. Doing this, Lord English can negate Immortality), Reality Warping, Void Manipulation (His existence includes Equius Zahhak, the Heir of Void. John Egbert, the Heir of Breath, has wind powers, so Equius most logically has void powers), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2; Can conceptually unravel existence and destroy the very concept of light and it's source), Plot Manipulation (Types 3 and 4; Granted Gamzee plot Armour. As the "Invisible/Unseen Riddler", he passively "robs its targets of a meaningful or dignified existence," and is the closest thing to "Absolute God of Paradox Space" and is "best interpreted as the forces of mischief and authorial cruelty or callousness toward the subjects within this fiction, which are laced into the entire narrative and relate closely to the quality of 'authorial scorn'". Has a plot-shield that negates attempts to defeat him), Resistance Negation (Can negate one's will to resist), Nigh-Omniscience, Omnipresence, Death Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (The Embodiment of Death in Troll Mythology is based off of him, if not him outright. Said embodiment of Death has a Hypnotic Glare. Lil' Cal is his vessel, who Caliborn used to mind control Jack Noir), Black Hole Creation (Lord Jack can create a black hole), Reality Separation and Acausality (Type 5; Is stated to be detached from the narrative), Rage Power (Gamzee becomes more powerful when angry), Dream Manipulation and Fear Manipulation (Using Gamzee's powers, he inserted himself into Dave's dreams and influenced reality from them. By using these powers, he willed himself into existence within the dreams of people across as many universes as possible, masterminding the surfacing of his true power from these manifestations, despite having his original soul cast into the void. Gamzee can subconsciously inflict nightmares and can insert himself into dreams to terrorize them) Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, and 8), Power Bestowal (Stated to boost the Condesce's power. Gave some of his power to Lord Jack.), Curse Manipulation (Cursed the Handmaid with Immortality), Non-Corporeal, Forcefield Creation (Has all the powers of the first guardians, who can do this.), Pocket Reality Manipulation, Technological Manipulation (Likely created the completely unhackable ~ATH program which is linked to his own existence. Doc Scratch is implied to be the creator of Scratchware, which is protected even from technologically advanced alien surveillance. Lil' Hal (one of ARquiusprite's components) was able to take control of other computers), Fire Manipulation (His components can produce fire), Size Manipulation (First Guardians can change size), Sleep Manipulation (Doc Scratch can put people to sleep), Space-Time Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation (Doc Scratch can induce friendship), Memory Manipulation (Doc Scratch can manipulate or wipe memories), Summoning (Arquiusprite can summon robotic horses, and Lord English can seemingly summon multicolored horses), Acausality Negation (Type 3 with his Fate Manipulation, Probability Manipulation, and Causality Manipulation: Horrorterrors, who naturally exist in the Furthest Ring, an infinite void that is untouched by space or time of any universe and where time and space is incredibly non-linear, are also affected by the forces of inevitability. Type 5 physically, as he was able to physically contest with and eventually erase John Egbert, who has multiple times stated to completely transcend the confines of canon), Possession (Possesses Lord Jack), Teleportation and BFR (Type 1; Doc Scratch can do this), Nonexistent Physiology (Type 2; Equius has void powers akin to how John as wind powers. John can turn into sheer wind, meaning Equius could turn into sheer void. Summoned when the universe is completely destroyed.), Resistance to Radiation Manipulation, Fear Manipulation and Dream Manipulation (Gamzee, like English, has blood flowing through his veins that inflicts nightmares, thus meaning they resist it), Space-Time Manipulation, Time Stop, and Plot Manipulation (Type 4: Doc Scratch is immune to be the other guy. Detached from the narrative)

Standard Equipment: Cane that can morph into a gun, Juju Breaker | Golden Cane that can morph into a gun | All previous, Juju, Lil'Cal, Gamzee Makara | Green Sun Cane that can morph into an AK-47

Intelligence: Extremely cunning and clever with an understanding of space-time, but stuck in puberty, and is Immature | Same | Same, possibly Nigh-Omniscient | Nigh-Omniscient (Doc Scratch, who is part of him, is this smart. Dirkbot, also part of him, is also this smart)

Weaknesses: Stuck in puberty | Same | Same | The Ultimate Weapon

Keys: Base | God-Tier | Post-Collide | Lord English
