Series: Homestuck
Character: Karkat Vantas
Timeline: From the end of act 5. (Roughly the year 2011/12)

Personality: Karkat is 6 solar sweeps old (Equivalent to 13 earth years), and is very much like the starsign he represents, Cancer. He is prone to having fluctuating moods, and wears his heart pretty much on his sleeve, however he is more likely to snap at others and tell them how useless and idiotic they are with great eloquence and profanity than he is to pat them on the back. However he is the master of backhanded compliments so anything he does praise you for will sound like you were in the wrong. However if someone seems legitimately bothered about something he never shies away from them and will even actively help them out so long as it doesn’t get in the way of important plans. Karkat is quite perceptive and can pick up other’s feelings and thoughts quite quickly, but in saying that, it doesn’t mean that he will do anything about it. For instance, he knows that one of his fellow trolls, Nepeta, has romantic feelings for him. While he is fond of her, he doesn’t feel the same way about her so he avoids the topic of relationships with her so he doesn’t upset her. As stated before, Karkat is always happy (Despite what he says) to give advice and help to his friends when they need it, however he shares very little about himself. His emotional problems are kept very close to his chest and if pressed would only talk to Kanaya about his problems and even then never gives the whole story, he also exclusively types in grey text due to the fact that in the hemospectrum, Karkat’s candy red blood is a mutation and could result in his being cast out from society, or more likely killed, so unlike other trolls he hides his blood colour. He also has a preference of using all caps when he types. While many things frustrate Karkat to the point of double face palming or table flipping. People not listening to his advice or following his orders annoys him the most, especially when it turns out that his advice or order should have been listened to in the first place. Karkat has natural leadership skills and can formulate plans quite easily, and always knows the best person to use for the right task, however when quickly put on the spot or suddenly faced with something greatly unfamiliar, he becomes very unsettled. His reactions can range from becoming speechless through to being completely terrified to the point of becoming a deer in the headlights or passing out.

Abilities/Additional Notes: Karkat’s weapon of choice are a pair of Sickles, which he is more than competent of using. He also has a large collection of romantic comedies as he loves the formation of relationships and how they fit in the trolls relationship quadrants. It is also worth mentioning that out of the 12 young trolls, Karkat is the least violent of them all, which could own to the fact that his direct ancestor is the Signless/Sufferer, who sought to teach the trolls the ways of peace over extreme violence and caste society only benefited those of high blood. (Essentially he’s the direct descendant of Troll Jesus). His less violent nature could also stem from his blood mutation, by avoiding violence he avoids the chance of shedding his own blood and exposing his defective body to other trolls.

[Staring at the 3STP Karkat picked it up and turned it around in his hands, he hadn’t used technology like this himself, but had known from watching a human from his past how to work it. Unlocking the screen he easily managed to navigate the screens and easily found the broadcast button, and scowled into the camera’s lense] Okay, so I can’t get trollian on this human piece of shit with its apparent superior technology. But I really don’t have the time to compile a list of how inept and backwards these fucking humans are. I need everyone to give me a roll call, and I want it now, if I find out any of you wastes of genetic material are fucking around with your stupid as shit problems and ignoring this call, I am going to find each and every fucking one of you and I’m going to remove your vocal chambers from your throats and make you eat them so you all choke on all the god damn shit you all talk. Where the fuck are you all? Does anyone know where the fuck we are? Because this doesn’t look like a fucking meteor to me. [His grip tightened on the communicator as the moments ticked by without a response. Quietly he was worried that his friend Gamzee might have gotten to the remaining trolls. However it was just as likely those think-panless bulge huggers we just too stupid to work out how to respond.]

WELL EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO ENLIGHTEN YOU TO THE CORRECT WAY GO ABOUT BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP. WHY DON’T WE ALL JUST DO IT THE WAY YOU TRANSLUCENT AND EASY TO PUNCTURE HUMANS DO IT, AND WANDER AROUND WITH OUR HEADS UP OUR WASTE CHUTES AND PICK ANYONE TO BE WITH, JUST SO LONG AS THEY LOOK PRETTY AND AGREE WITH YOU. YOUR ATTEMPT AT LOVE ISN’T EVEN ON THE SAME LEVEL OF PITY NEEDED FOR TROLL MATESPIRITSHIP!

Sample RP:
Humans. He was currently surrounded by them and it was more than a little bewildering for him. Up until now, he had only really known 4 humans and had only physically had met two of them, and out of the four of them, they were the two he had least wanted to meet. But now, he was on a street corner, scowling at all the humans that past them all of them looking so varied and weird that Karkat wasn’t even sure that he’d even seen troll’s horns as weird as some of the looks theses humans had created. Was that an overly large egg-sucking creature that just went walking past on it’s hind legs talking to a masked creature looking like a purrbeast that was wearing clothes. “What in the name of taintchaffing fuck is going on here!?“
