History:

Karkat was born on the planet Alternia, which is inhabited by a race of trolls. In troll society, the color of blood determines their place in the social hierarchy, and Karkat was born with red blood, the lowest and most despised color. However, his red blood is actually a lighter shade than normal, making him a dangerous "mutant," as his true nature could lead to his extermination if discovered. Karkat was raised on Alternia, a brutal world where young trolls must fight to survive. Despite the harsh nature of his world, Karkat is incredibly determined and takes on the role of a leader within his group of friends. However, his aggressive nature and explosive temper are a defense to hide his insecurity about his mutation and his fear of rejection.

Personality:

Karkat is a grumpy troll, in more than one sense. He spends a lot of time insulting and ranting at his friends and the kids. This attitude may be inspired by the stereotype of people under the sign of Cancer, who are said to be temperamental and grumpy. He constantly insults others in the style of a stereotyped internet troll, supporting his arguments with what seems to be empty logic. In keeping with the theme of crabby appleasshole personality, he rarely smiles. He is also often seen shouting, banging his fists on his keyboard, or generally raging at someone. He is not particularly patient in explaining himself, so even his sanest advice appears to be random insults. Karkat is ruthlessly ambitious and will grab any opportunity for power, but he lacks the subtlety of his fellow trolls and ends up getting the short end of the stick more than once. His true strength lies in herding his hard-headed troll friends into following a plan, which only gives him another excuse to lose his temper when something doesn't go according to it. Despite his arrogant and volatile behavior, he turns out to be a somewhat effective leader of the twelve trolls.

Reltionships:

Despite possibly being the grouchiest troll on the entire planet, Karkat relates well to people, possibly because he is mentally stable, by troll standards, and believes that showing many types of pity is the best way to have the ability to hate. He generally stops insulting and whining every time the other troll mentions that he or she has some kind of significant problem that is not worth laughing at. He is there for several of the trolls with romance problems, like Tavros and Eridan, and even unknowingly informs Vriska, as well as Kanaya. Ironically, Karkat admits that he has problems with relationships, particularly black romance, and thinks that he sets his standards too high. His inclinations towards red romance are strictly private. Karkat and Terezi Pyrope have a complicated and multifaceted relationship. Terezi often teases Karkat, but also shows deep loyalty and understanding towards him. Initially, Karkat sees Gamzee Makara as a close friend, although their relationship deteriorates dramatically during the events of the game. Kanaya acts as a kind of protective figure for Karkat, caring for his well-being and supporting him in his leadership.

Aspect:

Karkat is a troll of the Alternian race with gray skin and small curved horns. He has black, messy, spiky hair, and yellow eyes with black pupils. His facial expression is often grumpy, reflecting his irritable and sarcastic attitude. His blood is of an intense red color, which on Alternia is considered a mutation and in case someone discovered it, they would have to execute him, so Karkat does not say what his blood color is.

Outfit:

You wore a black t-shirt with the astrological symbol of Cancer on the chest in a gray tone, along with gray pants and black 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 (♣).
