Aradia Megido

Aradia Megido is one of the main characters of the popular webcomic Homestuck, and a character in Chaos RP controlled by DarkAlex06. She is a part of the Troll species. Aradia is a rustblood, meaning she is on the bottom of the caste system her planet uses. She is also the Maid of Time, and the protector of the Dream Bubbles.

Her associated zodiac sign is Aries, known as the Sign of the Excavator.

Early life
In her youth, Aradia was something of an archeologist and her home, or hive, was surrounded by dig site trenches. Her greatest discovery came when a meteor landing nearby her hive revealed an ancient temple known as a Frog Temple, which she would study for quite a long period of time.

Some time before the events of Homestuck proper, Aradia played a game of live-action roleplaying with her friends. However, while the game started, she was unable to stop her teammate Tavros from being thrown off a cliff by one of her friends, Vriska. She attempted to take revenge on her by unleashing the spirits of Trolls Vriska had murdered before, but this enraged Vriska, who killed her through mind controlling Sollux.

Due to her close connections to the spirits, she was resurrected as a ghost, and the voices of the dead began to get louder in her head, which lead her to abandon her prior passions and only focus on preparing for the impending apocalypse, which she knew she would be a part of.

Homestuck
After her death, Aradia found ancient technology and code inside the Frog Temple she had discovered before. She documented the code inside, and sent it to Sollux, him making it into the video game Sgrub, which would be the cause of the apocalypse Aradia had been waiting for.

Aradia played the game with her friends, and eventually used a robot as a temporary body until she could regain a physical form. She also gained time travelling abilities through her status as the Maid of Time, which she manipulated to create an army of time duplicates of herself, which would greatly help the Trolls in winning the game.

After winning the game, however, a demon known as Bec Noir came into the game and destroyed their exit out of the game. Aradia's clones all perished in the fight against him, and thus, the Aradia from the prime (or 'alpha') timeline was forced to retreat into a meteor alongside her friends.

Jack Noir begins to rampage through the Trolls' game, destroying every planet in sight. Aradia begins to prepare a secret plan - For each player in Sgrub, they have a seperate body, known as their dream self, which exists on one of the planets, and, in Aradia's case, Derse. Aradia's dream self heads inside the center of Derse, where her Quest Bed lies, allowing her to ascend into a god.

The plan works, and Aradia's robot body explodes, giving her a physical form once again and allowing her to reach godhood, as the Maid of Time.

After this, with the help of Sollux, Aradia pushes the meteor away from Bec Noir, and she stays behind to become a protector of the Dream Bubbles, mysterious bubbles that exist in between universes (known as the Furthest Ring) in Paradox Space, where the dead players of the game end up in.

Following this, she spends hundreds of years in her perspective traversing through the dream bubbles and encountering doomed realities and timelines. It is not known exactly how long she spends in them, although she does end up meeting MSPA Reader in one of them.

Eventually, Paradox Space begins to be consumed by a black hole, and Aradia watches the destruction with a smile on her face.

In the Knitterverse
Shortly after this, Aradia is brought to the Knitterverse by the Knitter. She ends up in the Flooded Caves, where she meets Sans, and they have a brief conversation. Sans shows her the machine he made, which should be capable of bringing everyone back to their own world once enough Needles are collected.

Aradia later heads to the city to tell everyone of Sans' machine, and meets an alternate-timeline Terezi there. They tell Spoilstal of the machine, who alerts everyone else about it. Aradia and Terezi then begin to explore the city, and try to find the locals.

She has currently wandered off from Terezi, looking for Sans.

Personality
Aradia is very happy and enthusiastic most of the time, to the extent where it gets creepy at times, as she can talk about depressing things without even having a hint of sadness in her voice. That doesn't mean she can never be sad, though - She is very sympathetic to others' problems, and wants to be able to help them, but her methods are ocasionally very strange and don't fit in.

She is convinced that the past is the past, and that there is no reason to be upset, because she believes that things will turn out right in the end, no matter what situation she is in. Considering her knowledge of time and the way it works, it is likely that she knows of the future and that is why she believes that.

On her own

 * Enhanced Whipmanship: Aradia is naturally capable of using her whip very easily, despite not undergoing training with it.


 * Telekinesis: Thanks to being a rustblood, she has the natural ability to use telekinesis. These are very powerful, strong enough to lift off part of a temple. With Sollux's help, her telekinetic powers become strong enough to push away a meteor the size of a city.
 * Mediumship: Another natural rustblood ability, Aradia is able to hear the voices of the dead, who give off whispers to her and predict future events. Lately, however, the voices have deafened, but Aradia can call upon them whenever she chooses.
 * Soul Summoning: Not only is Aradia able to interact with the spirits, she is also able to summon them.


 * Psychic Shield: Yet another natural rustblood ability. As Aradia is so psychically gifted, with her incredibly powerful telekinesis, that she is capable of resisting mind control, hypnosis, and the like.
 * Flight: Due to her status as a god, Aradia is capable of flying, using her wings. While flying, she leaves a trail of fairy dust behind.
 * Time Manipulation: Thanks to her status as a Maid of Time, Aradia is capable of manipulating time in different ways. A Maid of Time is one who upholds and expands time, while also serving it. This allows Aradia to utilize chronokinesis in the ways listed below.
 * Time Travel: By summoning music boxes made out of quartz, Aradia is capable of going back in time to specific moments. However, she mainly uses this ability to prevent paradoxes and create stable time loops.
 * Temporal Duplication: When time travelling, Aradia becomes a time duplicate, technically. Aradias from other timelines are also capable of travelling into the 'alpha' one, so many Aradias can exist at once, as long as they do not cause a paradox.
 * Time Reduction: Aradia is capable of slowing down time, either for herself or for others, although she mainly uses this ability on others.
 * Conditional Immortality: As Aradia is a god, she is unable to be killed.. Most of the time. If Aradia dies in a way that is heroic, like sacrificing herself to stop a greater evil, or just, like dying while being corrupted, she will die for good unless revived by someone else.

Equipment

 * Fetch Modus: A set of cards that operate like an inventory system, which allows Aradia to store objects and later take them out again.
 * Strife Deck: Similar to the Fetch Modus, a Strife Deck are a set of cards that operate similarly to a 'Weapon' slot in RPG games.
 * Whipkind: Aradia's primary Strife Specibus is whipkind, meaning she can use any kind of whip.
 * Whip: A regular whip, that Aradia can use for either offense or just as a way to get past obstacles, although now she mainly uses it in combat.
 * Music Box Time Machine: Similar to Dave's Timetables, Aradia is capable of summoning a floating music box, encased in quartz that, when revolving the cylinder, allows Aradia to control the flow of time, like jumping to different positions in the timeline.

Trivia
