John

John Egbert is one of the main characters in Homestuck. According to the first page of Homestuck  , he hadn't been given a name until his thirteenth birthday; however, this is just a framing mechanism. In the past, he had ended letters with “-ghostyTrickster (john)”. While originally given the name "Zoosmell Pooplord"  , the game rejected it and settled for John.
John uses an online application known as Pesterchum to communicate with his friends. His chumhandle is “ectoBiologist”. It used to be “ghostyTrickster”, but he changed it to avoid the trolls. Oddly, he chose the name ectoBiologist based on a comment by one of the trolls. His text color is blue (#0715cd).
His web browser of choice is Typheus, who coincidentally is the mate of Echidna, the namesake of Jade's web browser.
John's associated Classical element is air, and his Associated Item is oil
