[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: Gamzee Makara, also known by his Trollian handle terminallyCapricious, and his title The Bard of Rage.
Age: 6 Solar Sweeps, which is about 13 Human Years.
Gender: Male
Fandom: Homestuck
Timeline: Shortly after the Alternia Bound flash, before trolling/being trolled by Dave.
History: Recap ONE | TWO | THREE
Character Personality:
At first a fairly simple troll, Gamzee is the stoner of the Homestuck gang, but it's cool, motherfucker, he's just following what his heart tells him to do. He loves all his great friends, especially his best one, Karkat, and enjoys talking to them and listening to their problems, and that's cool too, bro, the troll disease called friendship is motherfucking beautiful that way.
As member of an obscure cult devoted to worshiping a duo of Rowdy and Capricious Minstrels, he is pretty interested in Clowns of a Grim Persuasion, choosing to both adopt their likeness with make-up and follow the tenants of his cult in every day life. He adopts a lot of clownish personality traits, such as his obsession with horns (not the ones on his head), his failed attempts at the unicycle, his crazy polka dot pants and even his weapon is a pair of juggling clubs. His cult seems to have influenced the way he speaks to, as in how he curses like it ain't no motherfucking thang, and refers to just about everyone as "brother" or "bitchtits" or "bEsT mOtHeRfUcKiNg FrIeNd" oh wait that's just Karkat.
He spends his time kicking the wicked shit and contemplating miracles, which constitutes pretty much everything, since he has no interest in understanding the motherfucking science behind shit. It gets all up in the motherfucking way of the magic of fucking life, and that just ain't cool, my brother. Gamzee doesn't understand a lot of things, but he also doesn't want to, preferring to keep the mystery of life alive so he can bask in its wonder - often with the help of mind altering substances. Because his lusus, or bestial mentor all young trolls have in their youth, lives in the ocean and is almost always out to sea, Gamzee didn't grow up learning important things for young trolls, such as not to consume the Sopor Slime which is in their recuperacoons (a type of bed the trolls sleep in - the Sopor Slime helps to alleviate the night terrors all trolls face in their dreams). He constantly eats Slime Pies, which are so motherfucking delicious brother, and drinks the kickin' wicked Elixir known as Faygo. These things kill braincells, much like certain human advertisements with eggs and frying pans would love to demonstrate to you, and Gamzee as a result is always extremely strung out. He's so far out in space, he's practically in another galaxy, which is also true in a literal sense being an alien and all but that's neither here nor there.
Gamzee enjoys talking to his friends, and seems to consider all of the trolls his friends, gladly greeting everyone who contacts him with words of reverie and also hOnK. He seems to genuinely care about them, and will gladly offer them advice, even if that advice is mostly just to wait for the miracles to happen. He even wants to help Equius out, saying that seeing him smile would be the greatest miracle of all. Even when trolling the kids, he does a pretty terrible job of it, and it mostly ends with Dave showing him videos of the Insane Clown Posse and sending Gamzee into a bLaSpHeMy induced freak out, which is frankly pretty ridiculous. He also has moments of experiencing sadness, such as when his lusus died or when Sollux first kicked the motherfucking shit I mean died.
[THE FOLLOWING IS SPOILERS FOR RECENT HOMESTUCK]
Of course, this all refers to him when he's receiving a steady supply of Sopor Slime into his system. Gamzee's trolltag, terminallyCapricious is pretty prescient, as when Gamzee turns sober, the truth of his personality comes out. Trolls operate on a hemospectrum caste system, and Gamzee's dark indigo blood is the highest of the land-dwelling trolls, topped only by the sea-trolls, who are considered royalty. As such, he is the most likely of all of them to be violent and unpredictable - which is actually pretty normal troll behavior, especially in the upper classes - and when he is sober, he is exactly motherfucking that.
While his normal text used sTiCkY cApS, when his sober personality emerges, it shows that he is actually split - one lowercase and ONE UPPERCASE. In this form, he finally realizes the Slime was "rotting a hole in his thinkpan," and considers himself :o) (and HIMSELF Do: ) the two messiahs of his own religion and thus his duty to SUBJUGGLATE i mean subjugate the "low-blooded" trolls. He devolves into a violent sociopath with a craving for low-blood fashion accessories, demanding that Equius, who is a pretty high-blood troll himself, kneel before him and choking him to death. It was a beautiful motherfucking miracle as Equius died with a smile on his face. When Nepeta attacks him in vengeance, he even grabs her claws and scratches his own face because WHY THE FUCK NOT. When not slimed up, he's much sharper - at least to the degree it takes to scare the absolute piss out of Karkat and how exactly to bother Equius to distress him, and is more of the "traditional" troll: an alien race that defines themselves by violence and domination to both their kind and others. Really Gamzee's problem isn't that he's going crazy it's that, according to the customs of his species, he's gone dangerously sane.
Character Abilities:
Gamzee is good at kicking back and slamming down the wicked Elixir, dropping some sick motherfucking rhymes and offering advice on how to wait for the most miraculous of all miracles. Except none of these things are exactly really that helpful, but at least he tries. He's good at making friends, and doesn't take offense to things easily (or generally at all), and even in the SGRUB game he chooses to share some slime pies with the enemies rather than actually fight them. He's also really talented at fondling horns, the honking ones, not the head ones, though I bet if he tried he'd be good at fondling those too.
He does have hidden talents though, as the Bard of Rage and also by the Law of Insane Clowns, he's immensely powerful and with the Jokerkind strife specibus, he's able to wield a great number of different weapons extremely effectively - such as a bow and arrow, which he's never been seen using before, and the GLORIOUS WARHAMMER OF ZILLYHOO, which is so beautiful it's a goddamn miracle in and of itself. In the fight against the Black King - the extremely powerful final boss of the Troll Kid's game session - he apparently had an attack that gave the one of the largest amounts of damage, which is extremely impressive given the fact he never upgraded his weapons at all and never achieved God Tier.
Also murder. He's good at that.
Character Weaknesses:
Direct Hits to the Bone Bulge.
Oh you mean aside from that? Gamzee is an extreme spacecase, losing track of time and being easily distracted even from direly important situations. He is incredibly forgetful, even managing to not be able to remember his own title until he was sober. He's also addicted to Sopor Slime and fucking terrible at rap I'm sorry I lied in the abilities section. There's also the CLOWN OF A GRIM PERSUASION THAT IS NOT IN FULL POSSESSION OF HIS MENTAL FACILITIES thing, which is pretty important, yup. He hears the voices of both of his "sides" and they urge him to SUBJUGGLATE, which he apparently is pretty happy to do.
And he can't ride a unicycle at all, his stubby legs are simply too short.
[ WEAPON ONLY SECTION ]
Why your character should be a Weapon:
Sopered Up Gamzee is a guy who is always willing to help his friends out, and is definitely not cut out to be a guy who makes snap decisions or leaderly orders, mostly because that would involve quick thinking which is definitely something Gamzee is lacking in. Sober Gamzee is a guy who you wouldn't want within 100 yards of a weapon, and especially not controlling someone. He's just as likely to hurt someone who he may have been previously friends with as the enemy, so having him as a weapon would at least allow his SUBJUGGATION to be directed at the enemy rather than allies.
Also he honks alot, this is totally apropos.
What is your character's Weapon form?:
Gamzee takes the deadly form of a CLOWN HORN. This is TERRIFYING.
His weapon abilities are as follows:
honk: Gamzee honks. This is pretty useless.
HONK: Gamzee honks vigorously. This is also pretty useless and kind of distracting.
SHIT IS GETTIN HONKTRABAND: Gamzee honks incessantly. This is pretty motherfucking annoying, bro. Also I think this is totally the same as the other two, since he always honks incessantly.
The VAST motherFUCKING HONK: If by some motherfucking miracle the meister manages to synchronize with Gamzee while he's sober, they will be able to unleash the VAST HONK. Based on how well Gamzee is synchronized with his Meister, the VAST HONK will become more powerful. The closer the opponent is in proximity to the honk, the more they will be affected. In emulation of his JOKERKIND specibus, the psychological effect will be random each use and only one effect will occur at a time. Its effects include:
- CONFUSION: The opponent becomes confused about their identity and location. The stronger the VAST HONK, the more confused they will become.
- HOMICIDAL RAGE: The opponent will fly into a rage directed at everyone around them, regardless of status of ally or enemy.
- SELF-HARM : In a rage, the opponent begins to attack their own person.
- GAMBOL: in which the opponent is compelled to scamper about in a very silly manner.
- HONK: In which the opponent begins honking and cannot bring themselves to stop.
- mIrAcLEs: YOU SEE ALL OF THE COLORS. ALL OF THEM. THEY WILL NOT GO AWAY. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, MOTHERFUCKER.
[ SOUL INFORMATION ]
Soul Description: Capricious, whimsical, stoned, HEMOCIDAL, mIrAcUlOuS, honk
Soul Appearance: Gamzee's soul will be a lighter version of his blood color - a lilac/indigo - and will have a face that is split down the middle - each half will resemble one of the masks used to represent COMEDY and TRAGEDY (one half is smiling, while the other is frowning). It will also have his signature horns.
