I don't remember much of last night's dream, but it did confirm that Homestuck and Baccano! share a canon. Andrew Hussie and Ryogo Narita both said so, in my dream.

I guess this means that Isaac and Miria played the Game, given that they’re unkillable and anyway the apocalypse would have made them sad. The immortals would be in an interesting situation; they could theoretically attain god-tier and the skills inherent in that, but they would have to allow someone else possession of all of their memories and skills, possibly losing them themselves in the process.

There are at least three non-immortals who would be able to off themselves on their quest beds without much fuss: Chane, Vino, and Ladd. I can see Nice blowing Jacuzzi up "for his own good."

Jacuzzi is the Hope player, by the way, and Nice is Doom. Rachel is Void because she's associated with liminal spaces and being unseen. Ennis is Light because she's the smart girl who bosses the most protagonist-ish guy around.

Chane is Space because her storyline is about rebirth, and Vino's got to be Blood. Isaac and Miria are jointly the Rogue of Breath. I don't know what Firo is, but Maiza is his sprite.

Ronny was a game construct all along.
Celty's gotta be Time - she's immeasurably old and associated with death and loss, it's pretty much her whole thing. Shizuo is equally-obviously Rage, and Anri Void.

Ryuugamine is the most protagonist-ish character, and Masaomi tells him what to do, so Masaomi is Light, I guess. Let's call him Prince of Light, because he ruins everything!

I assume the Blood aspect to mean war/conflict, but Homestuck fandom has adopted the meaning of connections/bonds, and I don't have a huge problem with that. The first would be Izaya, the second would be Ryuugamine. As alternatives, Ryuugamine could also be Hope - dude goes around believing in collective action like some kinda chump, and it works! - and Izaya could be Heart. Izaya talks about loving people a lot. The little shit.

Mika is Doom; she's double-sided and has a spare life. Seiji could be either Hope or Heart, whichever one Izaya and Ryuugamine left on the table. He believes that he's in love so hard that he is.

Walker and Erika are jointly the Thieves of Life. I guess I'd better give Shinra Breath? I don't care about Shinra, he's gross and Celty deserves better.

And I'll call Simon Space, because he takes up a lot of it, and acts as kind of an incompetent parent to the rest of the cast. Sorry, Simon, but your characterization is kinda thin.
