Chat handles

In Homestuck, kids and pre-scratch trolls use chat clients such as Pesterchum or Trollian to contact each other, with the exception of Jane Crocker, who uses BettyBother. Because of the unique alert messages of "Cheering" and "Jeering," it is believed that the cherubs may be using a different chat client. Each screen name consists of two words, with only the first letter of the second word capitalized. It has been observed that there is a correlation between online handles and genetics within the game.
