Hivebent

Hivebent is a game/adventure introduced in Act 5 of Homestuck. It mirrors greatly the opening of Homestuck, being portrayed as a seperate adventure portraying the start of the Troll's adventures and backstories set on the world of Alternia. Unlike Homestuck, Hivebent frequently shows us future events, most likely to speed up the story telling, and give us a better background on the Trolls without the many acts it would have taken at the pace of Homestuck

Similarities

 * Both tell the story of a group of friends, John, Rose, Dave and Jade in Homestuck and the Trolls in Hivebent.
 * Each kid and troll is introduced by naming them, followed by introducing their interests and room.
 * The characters frequently converse via instant messaging using Pesterchum and Trollian respectively.
 * Both groups use the Captchalogue system, and all have a Fetch Modus
 * Each kid and troll has a planet, and title within their game session. For example John is the Heir of Breath, and his house ends up on the Land of Wind and Shade. Karkat is the Knight of Blood and ends up on the Land of Pulse and Haze.
 * Each character places a weapon in their Strife Specibus (For those who have and need a strife card.)
 * Each kid is presented as having a Guardian where as trolls have a Lusus
 * A dubiously important number appears in both adventure. 413 in Homestuck and 612 in Hivebent. For example John's birthday is the 13th day of the 4th month of the year, 4/13. (413, 4 kids, each 13 years old and with a 4-letter name) where as Karkat's wriggling day is the 12th bilunar perigee of the 6th dark season's equinox, 6/12. (12 trolls, each 6 solar sweeps old and with a 6-letter name)
