Someone in the Tvtropes MSPA thread made a comment about Umbrage being young English. Considering that both of them are presumably of the same species and have cherry red blood (and the fact that Chronology's Hussie's personal harlot), it might not be too far off.
At this point I'm more or less convinced that (spoilered just in case) UndyingUmbrage and Calliope are the same person, or rather, two people with distinct dreamselves inhabiting one physical waking body like a kind of inverse Sollux. They alternate; when one goes to sleep the other wakes up.
My brother suggested the possibility to me when considering how the chess game could possibly work; I consider the latest update to be almost a confirmation. Well, assuming we aren't just being fucked with.

This actually seems like the obvious conclusion to me at this point.
I think a big give away is their chess game.
Notice how they keep signing off and back on to talk to each other.

You have many fond memories of solo-cosplay in your room. It's a lot of fun and alarmingly comfortable to just lounge around your room in-character. You really hope you'll get the chance to put it on again after your nap...
Well, maybe not the face paint. You don't wear that so much anymore. He gets especially furious when you do.

You open the book to a random page. Oh, right. This one. This page has always baffled you. You have stared at it long and hard, trying to decipher some sort of hidden meaning behind what appears to be pure chaos. You are sure such meaning is there. It is always there, when it comes to this tale.
i wish to come up with a song lyric for this signature, but no song lyrics are coming to mind
so, i'm thinking that since the obvious conclusion is that uu and UU are the same, hussie is probably going to completely subvert our expectations on this matter
I do wonder if Calliope's reveal means we'll be getting closer to who or what created SBURB and why frogs. It's obviously a case of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens messing around with spacetime, so I wonder if the Cherubim had something to do with it...seeing as they look somewhat frog-like.
I've noticed a motif in Act 6: subordinates, or followers.
Dirk, obviously, has his robots and his interest in puppets. Jane has Lil Seb to help her. Roxy has the carapaces, who can be troublesome when hungry but otherwise seem loyal to her. Jake is the only one without someone following him around and doing what he says.
Now we see that Calliope (and, presumably, uu) are cherubs, who look like Lord English. Calliope has dreams of something that looks like Doc Scratch. uu has a vested interest in Lil Cal.
Calliope has a pistol as her weapon. uu has something more heavy-handed, but is presumably a firearm as well.
Double pistols?
I'm guessing Calliope/undyingUmbrage will either help Jake with something important or become loyal to him for some reason. Is he Lord English? His new harbinger? A sleeper agent? I don't know.
I think the wand/pistol duality corresponds to the Calliope/uu duality, respectively. It also seems to be a callback to the weapons in Problem Seluth: due to "glitches," keys were guns and vice versa. ^_^
At this point, it's pretty much a recurring aspect of the Homestuck universe as well, albeit not one that affects all objects like it did in Problem Sleuth.

Floating a hypothesis out there: They meteor crash landed somewhere and Dave made all the statues to reap the sweat grist from his jpeg artifacted bullshit to help make something to get them on their merry way.

Also, ok, Calliope. I think she is actually cute-looking the way she is in an odd sort of way. I also think the comic can't upd8 fast enough l8ly.
Little Miss English is surprisingly adorable.

^^ Made me think of the smilers from Doctor Who.
