Question about a potential character! This is pretty canon-specific and I don't know how familiar you guys are with Homestuck so I'll try my best to explain this nonsense.

Basically, Jack Noir is a sort of universal constant and exists in a potentially infinite number of universes within Homestuck. All instances of Jack have the same basic backstory and identical personalities, goals, abilities (excluding universe-specific superweapons), etc., but they are also separate characters within the story that have different experiences and interactions with other character. In other words, the notable Jack Noirs are generally acceptable as separate characters in jamjar games because despite being canon AUs of eachother, they can potentially exist in the same universe, and also because their canon relationships are very different from eachother.

But StE isn't the same as most jamjars, so I'm not really sure how you'd want to handle this. Would different Jack Noirs count as separate appable characters (ex. if Bec Noir was apped someone could still app Spades Slick), or would only one version of Jack be allowed, since without their unique histories/abilities they're pretty much identical in personality? If the second, then could one app every instance of Jack Noir into one reincarnated character doomed to have extremely confusing memories?
