[Background]
here [Personality]Gamzee is one of the few trolls who's completely disinterested in trolling the kids of the other session. This is simply because Gamzee doesn't allow himself to be bothered with the things around him. Equivalent to someone who's constantly stoned, and not completely aware of his surroundings. However, well get into that in a little bit. For the most part, he's good-natured and laid-back, as well as every easy to get along with. He comes off as rather unassuming and simple-minded. Gamzee is satisfied with just the simple pleasures in life, not requiring much to survive nor much to enjoy. In fact, he would like nothing more than to just sit and enjoy the colours of everything around him. He's a strong believer in miracles, despite the fact that there's no real definition on what is required to be a miracle. It could be the shifting in colours or simply something unexpected happening, but either way, Gamzee takes great pride and interest in them. In fact, miracles define most of his life, even if that's not saying much to begin with. Gamzee's considerably eccentric and rather impulsive, with most of his actions unexplainable or not making the most or rational sense.
By most definitions, he's considered a "juggalo", which is a fan of the band, Insane Clown Posse that has developed their own slang, characteristics, and traits. This shows itself especially in his clown characteristics, with the makeup and his use of juggaling clubs and fondness of bike horns. In fact, he adores bike horns so much that one of his trademark statements happens to be, "HoNk. :o).", and tends to spend his time sleeping and relaxing in piles of bicycle horns. He's part of a rather "RATHER OBSCURE CULT, which foretells of a BAND OF ROWDY AND CAPRICIOUS MINSTRELS which will rise one day on a MYTHICAL PARADISE PLANET that does not exist yet", even if he's rare to mention this and generally not one to talk about it unless it's necessary. However, he will become extremely angry or aggravated if his religion is insulted in anyway, even showing to enter Hero Mode at times. For the most part though, if he becomes irritated, he's quick to forget about his problems and return to normal, as shown when he accidentally launched his bottle of Faygo into the ocean. As said before, Gamzee is ridiculously calm and chill at just about everything, almost impossible to aggravate and generally viewing things with a large smile and the thought of miracles in mind.
However, Gamzee's shown to be a very loyal friend, despite his disinterest in everything. He's often one the others goes to for counseling, acting as therapist, even if most of his advice is pretty useless and involves waiting for miracles and generally just being chill and adapting a personality like his. He cares deeply about his friends though and often shows concerns towards their well-being, wanting only their happiness and often fondly regarding them as "friend" or the like, even if they don't feel the same. This is especially displayed towards Karkat, who utterly hates Gamzee, but Gamzee doesn't seem to care, always referring to him as "best friend". Gamzee's considerably uneducated though, having a lusus that wasn't around to teach him things and take care of him while he was younger, showing in that Gamzee is unaware that eating the sopor slime affects the mind of trolls badly, or how computers work, or even how the hemospectrum affects him and his friends. He doesn't care about his blood rank or the hierarchy and sees everyone at the same level, though this changes when he becomes sober.
When Gamzee sobers up though, it's a rather terrible thing to behold. He shows strong, murderous tendencies and homicidal impulses with no regard for the lives of others whatsoever. In fact, those friends that he had once cared about, he quickly mutilated and slaughtered for no reason whatsoever except that he motherfuckin' can. His impulsiveness and eccentricity is enhanced, and he shows a rather manipulative personality, taking advantage of others and creating a strong atmosphere of fear and despair. He willingly taunts others in the way he's shown to torment his "best friend", Karkat.
TC: I AM GOING TO MOTHERFUCKING KILL ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.
TC: and paint the wicked pictures with your motherfuckin blood.
TC: FROM YOUR VEINS WILL DRIP MY MIRACLES.
TC: your crushed bones will make my special stardust.
TC: WELCOME TO THE DARK CARNIVAL, BROTHER.
TC: honk.
TC: HONK.
TC: honk.
TC: HOOOOOOOOOOONK.
In this state, Gamzee has a strong belief in his superiority over the other trolls, seeing himself as a descendant of the subjugglator, ordering around the cool coloured trolls who are higher than the other trolls, and treating the lower-ranked trolls horribly. He shows no remorse or guilt after he kills the others, even leaving disturbing messages upon their walls made out of their blood and delighting in the rainbow of colours that is the combination of their murders. When he's sobered, it seems that Gamzee is actually a lot more intelligent than he first appeared, making it seem that the slime pies clouded his judgement and therefore, his true nature by extension. He believes himself the embodiment of the Mirthful Messiahs and that this is also one of the reasons why he must kill everyone that he sees, just for the fact that he's the Messiah.
For the most part though, Gamzee's generally a good troll, a loyal friend and someone easy to get along with. That is, when he's not an elitist, superior, murdering psychopath who strangles trolls with their bows and taking ridiculous delight in their pain and horror.
[Specialties/Abilities]
While Gamzee's abilities as the Bard of Rage hasn't been revealed, he has displayed a ridiculous high tolerance for pain as part of his insane clown powers. When attacked by Nepeta, he seemed to be completely unbothered by her clawing his face, actually taking delight in the cause of his blood. His only weakness seems to be when he was kicked in the crotch by Kanaya, reverting his level of tolerance back to normal.
He's also shown slightly higher than average strength, in the way that he was able to strangle Equius to death with his own bow.
Gamzee has a sylladex like all the other characters in Homestuck, with his using the Miracles modus which makes little to no sense. At all. Even Gamzee doesn't know how to use it.
However, the importance in that is that he uses the Jokerkind specibus as a weapon, which is somewhat like a wildcard. He's capable of using weapons of any kind depending on the one that's given to him. There are twenty cards in the deck, each one representing a different weapon and depending on the card that the user wants, can give a different weapon to him, including Deuce Clubs, Clawsickle, Fiduspear, and more. Unfortunately, it seems that he has to add the weapons to the deck himself, suggesting that he makes his own cards, so whatever cards he currently has, will go with him.
[Affection] all affections are a-okay! he might not get it though.
[Fighting] when stoned, he won't be very interested in it, but when he's sobered, expect a lot of fighting from him. since he's a dangerous psychopath.
[Other Permissions] telepaths have all access to his mind, even if it's a bit of a trip and fourth-wallers are good to go. basically, you can do anything to him since he won't care. just contact me before anything happens.
[Other Facts] he's crazy.
