ROSE LALONDE
♠
Witch. Or at least a fraud claiming to be one. Eridan's arrival in Death City was ushered in by an exploded computer courtesy of this one right here, so needless to say he is a little sore at her. Try as he might, however, he can't seem to get anything out of Rose except for some snarky bullshit. Never fear, she'll change her tune once he shows her the error of her fake occult ways.
VRISKA SERKET
♠
What can he say about Vriska? A former rival and occasional conspirator that's grown bored and tossed him and his heart aside like a broken plaything. Time has only made him more bitter and more eager to trip her up at every move, and beat her in every game. Who knows, maybe if he screws her over enough she'll come crawling back, just begging to shed a little of his blood just like old times.
JOHN EGBERT
One of the humans. Eridan's largely uninterested in the bumbling, blue-texted Earth kid, but he can't help but notice this one's been monopolising a lot of Vriska's attention. Attention that could otherwise be focused on the better man -- er, troll. For that, he wouldn't mind if John just went ahead and disappeared off the face of his stupid planet.
KANAYA MARYAM
♣
Kanaya's one of the only trolls who'll bear to put up with him, and for that he's rather grateful. Or, well, as close to grateful as he's capable of feeling. Kan's auspisticised for him in countless relationships, enough for him to refer to her as the "vvilage twwo wwheeled devvice" when it comes to such matters. As such, even for all her considerate patience with him, he only sees her as a tool and an occasional shoulder to cry on.
JADE HARLEY
♡♠
He definitely didn't hit on this Jade human at any point. That'd just be silly, and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably just sorely mistaken. That purple text could have been anyone, after all, and if it was him he obviously wouldn't have been rejected outright. There's nothing more to say on the matter.
TAVROS NITRAM
♠
This spineless shitblood's stolen Vriska whether he's aware of it or not, and even if he wasn't so low-class Eridan would hate him just for that. While most of the time he won't deign to acknowledge the boy, he can't resist the occasional snipe or nasty comment when the opportunity arises. Land dwellers need to be put in their place, after all.
DAVE STRIDER
It's absolutely shameful how flagrantly this excuse for a decent living creature parades his blood deficiency around. Eridan can barely stand to look at that red text without puking, and it's for that reason he avoids any interaction if he can afford it.
That, and just look at that fucking hipster.
KARKAT VANTAS
♠??
O Captain! My Captain! Karkat's been the source of many a consoling word and enraged diatribe over the sweeps. Even now knowing about his hideous hematopathological deformity, Eridan can manage to quell the instinct to slaughter him if only out of the interest of an uneasy sort of friendship. Karkat keeps him abreast of the stormy romantic waters he's drifting and threatening to drown in. That's enough for him.

DAIMON MASARU
♠
A loudmouthed asshole that keeps contradicting him every time he says something. Seriously, where does he get off saying he can kick people's asses like that?
If there is any ass-kicking to be done around this dump, it's going to be done by Eridan. Stupid fucker.
DR. JOHN WATSON
♠
A cripple that just won't stop harassing Eridan. First about the way he typed, then about his claim to nobility (he's the fucking Prince of Hope) and then finally about his little tiff with Sandry. Apparently boys aren't supposed to hit girls. Can they hit handicapped old men, then?
SASUKE UCHIHA
♠
Thinks that all this Witchy bullshit is real. That's reason enough for Eridan to think this guy is an asshole, but then he just had to go and provoke him even further... He'll be damned if he doesn't get to have a duel with this one and squash him like a bug at some point.
YUMI AZUSA
♠
Apparently the strongest rifle-type Weapon in the city. Of course Eridan proposed a partnership to her, but there was the problem of him being a One-Star Meister and her being a superpowered Death Scythe. Their first resonation -- a little demonstration on her part -- went horribly awry and left him bedridden and spiritually drained for a good few days.
Still, he hasn't given up. Powerful-as-fuck Weapon that she is, he has to have her, and he doesn't care how many other cheap second-rate Weapons he needs to go through to level up enough to win her. Now if she'd just stop bugging him in the meantime...
SANRDILENE "SANDRY" FA TOREN
♠
A prissy girl who not only thinks she's a noble-- she thinks she's magic too. Two strikes is enough for Eridan to loathe her. On top of that, a desperate, impromptu proposal for her to be his Weapon went about as awful as it could possibly be (backhanding a girl with a hand full of golden rings is apparently not a one-way ticket to partnerships, go figure.)
Pride bruised, he's initiated a vendetta against her with the result that just about every other person in Death City hates him. So maybe he has to thank her: if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be swimming in so many potential kismesissitudes right now.
SHALNARK
Some nonsensical kid who keeps pestering him over the comms. Speaks in a weird, circuitous way with no other apparent intention than to rile him up. Eridan, however, seems to have trouble rousing this one's anger in turn. He's not sure what to make of him or what his intentions are -- humans are probably just fucking bizarre.
YOSHIYA "JOSHUA" KIRYU ERI
♡♠
Oh Eri, sweet Eri. Eridan weeps for what could have been -- a girl like her might've been the answer to his search for a kismesis. It seemed to be hate at first sight, yet young love was cut short before it had a chance to blossom: one meeting at a dance was all they shared before she was spirited away into the ether.
He cried for days. Except not really.
SADIQ ADNAN "THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE"
An old man who's seem to have taken an interest in pestering him -- even trying to correct his behaviour. He's a little unreadable, but Eridan doesn't need to read him: all he needs to know is that this guy has the complete wrong idea about him and what he stands for.
But... If his claims that he's an entire empire are to be believed, Eridan may take a fascination to this Earth historical and militaristic legend. Maybe they can swap stories about conquering lesser nations, over tea and cookies.
KIDA MASAOMI
♣
Evidently a romantically successful human by their standards, Kida has been a source of somewhat-valuable information regarding getting along with these red-blooded aliens. Or, well, he would be if Eridan actually took any of his advice to heart. Until he gets the picture Kida's stuck mainly as damage control, rebuilding Eridan's burnt bridges and keeping the shorter-tempered souls of Death City from strangling him.
SHIZUO HEIWAJIMA
♠
Associated with Sandry. A foul-tempered, curiously strong human who doesn't seem to like Eridan. Whyever not is anyone's guess -- all that's important is that Shizuo seems interested in nothing less than trying to pound him into a bloody violet pulp.
Which is pretty flattering, but come on. He barely knows the guy. Still, if someone's going to come on to him like that...
NURA NAL-DOX "DREAM GIRL"
♠
Another one of Sandry's friends. A young woman who jumped on him after the backhanding incident with apparently no other goal than to psychoanalyse and taunt him.
Like with his other sudden potential kismeses, Eridan's a little overwhelmed and not sure how to take this... But he's going to be open to anything here. If she wants a black romance, she's got it. Now if she'd just agree to a duel, they could get this hate ship out of the harbour.
BLACK★STAR
♠
Something about Eridan just seems to attract the boisterous, arrogant assholes -- he has no idea what it is. But Black★Star here is King Boisterous Arrogant Asshole, having been the first person he talked to in Death City and thus having set the tone for everything else to come.
They haven't tried to kill each other yet, but the day is slowly, surely approaching. God help Death City when that day arrives.
