I'm using my Equius account now, but it's still Kathryn/Signless-mun.
So, okay... basically, I was raised Christian but then fell out of the religion when I was a teenager and started studying history. I realized that I couldn't get behind a religion that, while I rather liked the ideas of Jesus, had so much blood on its hands through the ages. I now identify as Miscellaneous whenever anyone asks me; it's a lovely blend of Taoism, Christianity, Hindu, Jedi Knight, and that one episode of Futurama where Bender meets God. However, I'm pretty familiar with the Biblical stories (the interesting ones) from all the church I got dragged to as a kid.
I try and play Signless the way I imagine Jesus would have acted during his lifetime, which I view as this very nice, very kind and empathetic guy, who never really thought he was anything special, just a carpenter with a slightly different spin on things. Take that personality, put it into a violent, constantly warring state, and you've got Signless. I know a lot of other RPers play him as the Sufferer, where he's angry all the time and is more like Karkat 2.0, but I didn't want that. First of all, I can't write Karkat worth a shit, so trying to play Signless that way would have ended in failure. Also, it's a lot more interesting to see how people react to him when he's this incredibly sweet, gentle personality who has time for everyone and only wants what is best.
