List of dead characters

This is 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.

Dream selves

 * Dream Jake – killed by Courtyard Droll exploiting his peanut allergy HS 6302
 * 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 HS 8437 (dreaming in the Furthest Ring) would seem to confirm that he does not have a separate living dream self.

Unknown timelines
The timeline shown in Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 2, Intermission 3, and the beginning of Intermission 4 has been stated to be a doomed timeline. It is uncertain if that is correct, or which timeline is the alpha timeline. Another timeline was introduced in A6A6I4, and its current alpha or doomed status is also unknown.

GAME OVER
This is the timeline depicted in A6A6I2-A6A6I4. Many deaths take place in the events of HS 8801 (GAME OVER). Due to several planetary collisions, it impossible to be certain who survived.

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As the Hussiebot image at the top of this page becomes outdated with new updates, any of these characters may potentially be moved from their current deadness categories at any time.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