Sorceror Nobody is a complete enigma of a character who is theoretically in Homestuck, but has never actually appeared in it, and probably never will. He is a supreme transcendental nonentity who not only does not physically exist within any universe, but not in the Medium or indeed in any form of Paradox Space. Basically, he does "exist", but doesn't exist. Indeed, his (non-)existence has been speculated to be not entirely unlike that of pumpkins. Some people have even theorised that there may be some deeper connection between the two. However, Sorceror Nobody denies this, saying only, "What Pumpkin?"

SN uses an online application known as Pesterchum to communicate with his other Homestuck-loving friends. His chumhandle is skaiarorNetbody. Whether he chose this because it's a distinctly workable portmanteau of his name and Skaianet, or because of some deeper connection, is unclear. It's probably the former, of course. Even in the world of Homestuck, where everything generally means something, it's unlikely that there is a deeper connection simply because Andrew Hussie has (most likely) never even heard of Sorceror Nobody. Then again, we can't rule out the possibility that SN has been working -type machinations somewhere down the line. Many people simply chalk the issue up to Weird Nonexistence Shit.

When in what might reasonably be termed "2 ollux roleplayiiN g mode ", Sorceror Nobody uses the chumhandle solluxNthusiast. He implements most of Sollux's quirk on top of his own – the letters S and N are still capitalised and coloured, but S is then replaced with 2. He also retains his normal punctuation (minus capitalisation) rather than excluding it. Sollux's quirk also does not affect SN's habit of using others' quirks when mentioning them by name.

It should be noted that SN is not actually anything more than a normal human, i.e. most of the above is just fabrication. However, he does like to operate in his nonentity persona much of the time, and accordingly, his first action upon the deployment of his Alchemiter was to create the Sorceror Nobody Armour, which he likes to wear on occasion. Alas, like Jade's Iron Lass suit, it's very cumbersome.

His web browser of choice is Dryhten.

In the Medium
Due to Skaia being a "source of unlimited creative potential", Sorceror Nobody finds that he is able to make much of his persona into a more solid reality, a fact that he delights in by quickly alchemising things such as his otherwise-fictional Keybladekind Strife Specibus.

It is not yet known who Sorceror Nobody's server player is, who he is server player to, or indeed anything at all about the other players in his session's chain. In fact, almost all details on his entry to the session, and most of the session itself, are unknown.

Among the scant details known are the fact that his planet is the Land of Nothingness of Eternity, which has relatively little land area. Rather than being a solid sphere, it has a shell surrounding a core of some kind of glowing energy.

The Denizen of the Land of Nothingness and Eternity is called Dryhten. The Consorts of the LONAE are unlike any animals seen on Earth (and most certainly are neither amphibians nor reptiles), and yet they seem oddly... familiar.

Role as the Seer of Void
Sorceror Nobody's power is primarily to See things that cannot, and never will, be. In other words, he can discern voided possibilities. In a sense, this makes him the precise antithesis of 's omniscience: Scratch extrapolates by deduction into the dark pockets, whereas SN extrapolates out of them. It's no wonder has taken an interest in pestering SN, since he basically embodies 's "humorous dialogue with reality".

Unless of course it isn't really ...

One of the curious side-effects of the Void-Seeing is that SN can identify actions that will lead to doomed offshoot timelines. He is not capable of Seeing any part of the timeline, i.e. he cannot find out what happens in it, but he can See that it tails off into oblivion at the point where Paradox Space cuts it off.

Ironically, as a Hero of Void, SN is immune to his own Seeing. This has... interesting implications, to say the least.

Although he does think that his title is pretty damn cool as it is, Sorceror Nobody nonetheless has acted on his tendency to make every name he uses conform to the initials SN. In other words, he's fabricated an equivalent title for himself that fits the initials, namely the 'Scryer of Nothingness'.

Sorceror Nobody has also accidentally discovered that he has the ability to unsee things – or more accurately, retroactively never have seen them in the first place – by projecting a void over the seeing. Obviously, this is a very useful talent for anyone who spends any time on the internet, as it allows him to unsee things like this. I hope you didn't click that, because if you aren't SN, you can't unsee it :P
