List of dead characters

Hussiebot goes mad.

A list of all characters and their deadness attributes as of the most recent update. It should be noted that, in Problem Sleuth and Homestuck, death is generally not the final word. For Problem Sleuth characters, permanent death occurs only after the door to the afterlife has been wedged closed. In Homestuck, no afterlife has been shown to exist for characters who are not Sburb players, so they are presumably doomed to permanent death; however, for players, permanent existence failure is only possible through "double death" if the dream bubble containing their ghost is destroyed.

Pre-scratch Sgrub session

All twelve of the pre-scratch trolls were blown up by Meenah in order to continue existing after the scratch. As such, all of them were introduced as already dead.

• Damara
• Rufioh – Nearly killed by Damara, but saved by Horuss giving him a robot body. Body recovered by dying and being replaced by his dream self. Killed again in Meenah's explosion.
• Mituna
• Kankri
• Meulin
• Porrim
• Latula
• Horuss – Implied to have been killed by Damara at some point. Revived somehow before being killed in Meenah's explosion.
• Kurloz
• Cronus
• Meenah – Killed by Damara, then ascended. Despite being god tier, she could not be revived due to the scratch. (It's also possible blowing herself up to save everyone would have been a heroic death anyway.)
• Aranea - Reached the god tiers, but died and could not be revived due to the scratch. Temporarily revived by the Ring of Life. Ring removed, neck snapped and cast into flame by the Condesce

Other

• Hussiebot – Apparently decapitated by Lord English

Dream selves

• Dream Jake – killed by Courtyard Droll exploiting his peanut allergy
• All the trolls' dream selves apart from Vriska's, Aradia's, and one of Sollux's – killed by Bec Noir during his rampage in the trolls' session; Aradia ascended as a result. Vriska's dream self had already ascended and replaced her waking self. Sollux's Prospitian dream self was killed, but his Dersite dream self had already replaced his waking self. Gamzee's dream self had been the subject of speculation, but his dreaming in the Furthest Ring would seem to confirm that he does not have a living, separate dream self.
  • Dream Tavros - sliced in half, presumably by Bec Noir, and apparently while awake
  • Dream Nepeta - stabbed by Bec Noir three times, and died from the ensuing blast of First Guardian power he let loose on Derse
    • Dream Nepeta (possibly the Alpha timeline one, possibly not) was later double-killed by Lord English
  • Dream Kanaya - burned in the green flames of the destroyed Prospit. Her dream self was apparently asleep at the time

• Dream Calliope – killed by her session's Jack Noir

As the Hussiebot image at the top of this page becomes outdated with new updates, any of these characters may potentially be moved from their current deadness categories at any time.

Presumed dead, but uncertain

• B2 Black Queen – Her fate when replaced by the Condesce is unknown; thus far, she has not been seen, and her whereabouts are currently unknown. However given the Condesce's nature and the lack of reason to keep her around, she was most likely killed

• Sollux – killed by the Vast Glub, replaced by Dersite dream self. Killed due to the strain of his psychic powers.  Turned out to only be "Half dead" when he was able to leave his dream bubble in the furthest ring. This may relate to the fact that he had two dream selves. Note that Sollux has stated he will die twice (and he did). After his half-corpse was prototyped to make Erisolsprite his dead half was pulled into the sprite causing his living half to become fully alive

Notoriously difficult to kill for reasons that basically don't make any sense

• Gamzee – You can't keep down the clown. However, he is now dead (maybe)

Sad face
