Gamzee: Answer troll. [Background]
History [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.
[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.
[Other important stuff]
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.

[Third Person]
He was sitting out by the ocean again. Despite his lusus' warnings, he had a tendency to sit out by the ocean and daydream, or at least, wait for his guardian's return. Often, the lusus would be gone for long periods of time and Gamzee had a bad habit of being unable to keep track of it. In fact, he really couldn't keep track of anything, now that he thought about it. Time, where he was, what he had done. His memory had always bee a little fuzzy, but moreso these days. Of course, his friends, the other trolls, always blamed the sopor slime but really, how could it be slime's fault? How could anything be of fault? But he couldn't really get offended for their assumptions or even bothered. They were allowed to think whatever they wanted and he would love them for it nonetheless. Especially Karkat, who was his best friend.
A large smile grew on his lips as he thought about the other troll and he chuckled to himself, staring out at the sky that rippled overhead. The colour was something of a deep blue, or maybe a little green. He couldn't really tell; they were shifting so much. For a moment, Gamzee paused before reaching his hand to the sky, opening and closing his fingers for a few moments, as if he was trying to grab the air above him. Which, really, he was. It was so beautiful -- a miracle in the colours and the way the sky worked.
How did sky work anyways? How did it stay above him and not fall and crush him?
That too, he was sure, was a miracle.
There was another laugh and Gamzee sat back, cracking open a bottle of Faygo that rested beside him. Miracle's drink. He wasn't quite sure what he'd do without it, but he was sure he wouldn't think about it. Or rather, he wasn't sure of anything. It was really just whatever happened. He dug his hands into the sand beneath him and chuckled at nothing, eyes blinking blearily. Why was he even out here to begin with? Perhaps he wasn't even there for a reason, but it'd be nice if he could see his lusus while he was out. Ah! That was a great idea. He'd hope for the miracle that would be his guardian returning. Or maybe he wouldn't.
Well, whatever it was, it'd be wonderful and he trusted the miracles that would incur.
Sometimes though, sometimes when his mind was a little clear, when he hadn't had a slime pie in a while, he felt things. Strange things. Strange yearnings really, and not the kind of yearning for a pie or for a Faygo or to appreciate the miracles. They were deeper than that, from the pit of his belly, and they were... well, for lack of a better word, violent. Sometimes when his mind was less washed over and he was talking to his friends, he'd envision himself doing horrible things to them. Of course, Gamzee wasn't quite aware of this thoughts and they were quickly forgotten after the latest pie or a blast of his religious dust, but subconsciously, it was a little worrisome.
Or maybe it wasn't.
There was a pinging sound coming from his computer and he glanced over at it, frowning a little. He wasn't quite sure how his husktop worked but the fact that it did was a miracle in itself. Really, he could just press buttons and words would emerge! How amazing. There was the familiar sign of... ah, it took him a second to remember, but that was his best friend, Karkat. Gamzee laughed and brought up a hand, waving at the screen. When he brought his hand down, it wasn't even because he realized that Karkat couldn't see his actions, but simply because he wanted to greet his friend. Of course, Karkat's letters were all large and often, it felt like the other troll was yelling at him, but he knew his best friend only did that because he couldn't help it. That was just his way of speaking, like Gamzee's was slightly wavering and reticulated in levels.
He got to typing though, a slow sort of scattered way to do it.
HaHaHaHa, WhAt's uP, mY MoThErFuCkIn' BeSt fRiEnD? :o)
Gamzee sat back and waited, turning his attention towards the ocean and the ripples in the water. It was beautiful and he was happy just to sit on the shore and marvel at everything around. Even with those strange urges that he felt sometimes, he was content just to be happy, taking a swig out of his Faygo.
Of course, he also shouldn't stay out there for very long. The sea dwellers were hostile. But those warnings crept to the back of his mind as he continued to saver his drink. He'd get up soon.
