History:

Gamzee lives in his hive, in his room, which is decorated with posters of demonic clowns. Among the things cluttering his room are bottles of Faygo, a large unicycle, a laptop, juggling clubs, trays of sopor slime pie, and several bike horns. Since his lusus, his caretaker, has always been away at sea, Gamzee was not raised very well. He was not taught certain simple things of common troll knowledge, such as the fact that sopor slime is not supposed to be eaten, as strange things happen to a troll's head. Gamzee's lusus resembles a large sea goat. This continues the trend of the caretakers resembling the zodiac symbols they are assigned to, with Capricorn being the symbol of the goat, or sea goat. Although Gamzee does not seem to care about the caste system, he is an upper (the highest rank of land-dwelling trolls) in the blood caste system. This was referred to by Equius, who forced himself to suppress his urge to order Gamzee around because he "has no right to be disappointed in his [Gamzee's] behavior." Equius also seems to believe that Gamzee's love for Faygo and sopor slime harms him, as he states "... you taint your precious blood... with your bottled gaseous sugar and your sopor toxins." However, when Gamzee becomes sober, he seems to adopt the ideology of the caste system and even orders Equius to kneel before him. Gamzee is the only purple-blood troll who is not seen with jewelry, although this may be because he does not care about the system, or because of his Juggalo lifestyle, or simply because he is not a sea dweller.

Personality:

Gamzee seems to be the troll equivalent of a Juggalo, belonging to a cult of whimsical minstrels, and his text is full of references to the Juggalo subculture. Despite cursing quite a bit, he is a friendly and laid-back troll. He is undoubtedly a friend who would support and do anything and sacrifice himself, even stop eating sopor slime and drinking his wicked elixir, Faygo, at a friend's request. Due to his magnanimous personality, Gamzee will often act as a counselor or therapist for his friends, such as Karkat and Eridan, if they are experiencing emotional stress, although his usual advice involves waiting for a miracle. He has also hidden a dark side of his personality, which fits with his capricious nature. In the absence of sopor slime, which was suppressing the nature of his blood, he has proven to be absolutely terrifying. His madness leads to a change in his way of writing, his lines alternate between all uppercase and all lowercase instead of every letter. As noted by Equius, his volume fluctuates, implying that he speaks calmly every two lines and YELLS EVERY OTHER FUCKING LINE. In this form, he treats lowblood trolls with great contempt, even more than Equius, and demands that they

Relations-1:

Apparently Gamzee sees Karkat as his best friend, despite a tense relationship since the end of Karkat, turning into a major underestimation later. Gamzee does not take Karkat's insults seriously, and always controls him. Then, Karkat is shown expressing concern for Gamzee when he disappears, afraid that he will be hurt and even saying that he should go look for him later. He is also shown horrified by Gamzee's new personality, desperately trying to get him out of it. Finally, Karkat admits that he was not only Gamzee's best friend, but also his best friend. Nepeta's shipping wall later shows her opinion that Karkat and Gamzee should be moirails. Gamzee also seems to have a close relationship with Tavros. They formed one of the worst rap duos in, well, all of paradox space. Tavros's mood and text seemed much more confident and mushy when talking to Gamzee, making them closer friends than expected. They also referred to each other as "brothers" in a respectful manner, also copying each other's faces. There is a lot of reference to Gamzee once having red feelings for Tavros, even suggesting that they should make out at the end of that conversation, although Tavros seemed at a loss for words at the idea, leaving unknown whether he shared the red feelings. Gamzee confirms that he has secretly started a kismesisstud with Terezi, claiming that he hates her for what she is, but not enough to kill her. He does not want Karkat to find out about this, as he believes that Karkat would kill him for it. It seems that Gamzee is on friendly terms with most of the other trolls. Due to his infinite casual attitude towards life, he is not affected by Karkat's insults, Equius's bossy character, or Eridan's emotional theatrics, all of which are known to get on others' nerves.

Relations-2:

Sollux also holds him in low esteem, calling him a bullheaded clown who eats toxic slime. Interestingly, Sollux seems to have had a brief concupiscent and hesitant infatuation with Gamzee at a time when Terezi also has a black infatuation on him, and Kanaya has an ashen one. Gamzee's lusus is a giant sea creature resembling a goat. Apparently, it has been out at sea instead of taking care of Gamzee as a lusus is supposed to do, the only useful advice it ever gave to Gamzee was 'stay away from the ocean.'

Aspect:

Messy hair, gray skin, horns pointing towards the slightly bent sky, purple blood. It is made up with white face and gray color around the mouth and eyes.

Outfit:

A black t-shirt with the Capricorn sign (♑) in purple. Black pants with grey dots and purple shoes.

Trolls-1:

Trolls are a race of aliens, who live on a planet called Alternia. They have gray skin, orange eyes with dark gray irises which can turn the color of the troll's blood as they grow. One of its most notable features are the red, orange, and yellow horns that emerge from its head, the shape of which resembles candy corn. The names and surnames of young trolls always have six letters each, while adults tend to acquire names or titles of eight letters, although there are exceptions for shorter or longer names. Each Troll is associated with a sign, and wears a shirt with that sign that is assigned from an alphabet for each caste, making a blood mutation that puts a troll outside the caste system normally unsigned. Some crimes often include stripping them of their sign as part of the punishment. Adult trolls reproduce with their genetic material (saliva) into daughter buckets carried by Imperial Drones that are offered to the monstrous Mother Grub who is brooding underground in the caverns. She then combines all the genetic material into one big diabolical incest slurry (where the most dominant genes are highlighted among others) and lays hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time. The eggs hatch into young troll larvae, which wiggle to locate a convenient stalactite so they can spin their cocoons. Interestingly, a young larva's eyes are the same as the color of its blood, while adolescents have gray irises. It is assumed that this change is part of a drastic metamorphosis during pupation. For unknown reasons, a number of larvae are sacrificed (to make paint).

Trolls-2:

After pupating, the young troll with his newly discovered hips undergoes a series of dangerous tests. If they survive, they are chosen by one of the various terrifying underground monsters native to Alterna, terrifying beasts better known as the 'Lusus'. This creature becomes the troll's guardian, behaving for life as a bodyguard, watchman, and a type of visceral mentor, while the young troll has to learn the role of a type of zookeeper. Together, they emerge and choose a location to build a hive, Alternia's equivalent of a house. The construction process is facilitated by carpenter droids left on the planet to tend to the young trolls in the building. Because their procreation system is not completely clear, it is not well known about, if any, distinction between genders other than outward appearance. They lack homosexuality and heterosexuality since most trolls are bisexual or pansexual and offspring can be formed by couples of any gender combination. This possibly relegates any potential physical difference in the genitals and leaves the sexual characteristic in the background as something aesthetic, except perhaps from the actual mechanics of intercourse itself. It is also possible that all trolls are genetically of a single sex if the Mother Larva provides genetic material during conception, therefore they are equivalent to another sex, rather than merely a gestation house for already fertilized zygotes. Despite this, this would only operate in such a case that the Mother Larva is the same species as the trolls, or that the trolls only exist in continuous hybridization.

Trolls-3:

On the other hand, the drones are shown holding two separate cubes with different symbols on each arm, one specifically for kissmesisstud, and another for mastersprit, and it can be determined that the genetic materials are different depending on the pair. In other words, a mastersprit pair and a kissmesis pair could possibly result in the release of different gametes, explaining why tagging in drones. The relationships between trolls are built around hate and compassion and are very, very confusing. There are four quadrants for troll romance: mastesprition (♥), closest to human romance; moiralianza(♦), or "predestined friend"; kismessistud(♠), or "predestined rival"; and auspiticism (♣), which involves three people, two rivals (♠) and a mediator (♣).
