🔮 ꒰ The Makara Siblings ꒱

GAMZEE MAKARA : Gamzee is from an alien race called Trolls. Trolls have gray skin, orange horns (all trolls have different horns to represent their linked Zodiac symbol), and yellow eyes.

When trolls become physically mature, their eyes become the color of their blood, which Gamzee's case, is purple. He has long, messy black hair, two tilde shaped horns, and he wears face paint similar to a clown's.

He is usually seen wearing his black T-shirt, which has the Capricorn symbol printed on the front, and what appears to be spotted pajama pants. Gamzee Makara spends most of his time under the effects of sopor slime. During these periods, Gamzee is obsessed with miracles and preaches about them often. He doesn't antagonize anyone, and is shown to be incredibly calm, even when being yelled at. He swears often, types with alternating letters, and avoids most conflicts, preferring to relax and will even share his sopor slime with enemies.

After he becomes sober and abstemious, Gamzee's personality changes completely. He feels the need to subjugate other trolls violently. He actively seeks to kill many of the trolls and does so in an extremely merciless and brutal manner. He also begins to play psychological games with some of his friends to scare and humiliate them. He regains his mellow and hospitable attitude thanks to Karkat.

Even though he is no longer actively murdering people, Gamzee hides in the dark, is far less nice, and avoids most people on the meteor. Despite his abusive and disrespectful nature, Gamzee is also fanatically devoted to his religion and Caliborn. Gamzee also acts capriciously and without an identifiable goal at many points after his murder spree.

KURLOZ : Kurloz is a troll whose body is covered entirely in black and white body paint, resembling a skeleton. Alternately, this could be a sweater and leggings with a skeleton design on them. He wears purple shoes and purple shorts. He has long horns similar to his dancestor Gamzee, which resemble that of a goat, and has stitches over his mouth. He perhaps has the most ridiculous hair of any character in Homestuck, even more so than Gamzee.

Outwardly, he seems harmless enough, usually responding only with a silent smile to most provocations, though he did flip Meenah off when pressed further. Meulin describes him as VERY SNEAKRETIVE and says he STILL LOVES MAKING RIDDLES OUT OF EVERYTHING. Before his vow of silence, he preached about the MESSIAHSand the ANGELS OF DOUBLE DEATH. Apparently he has a habit of referring to other characters by unusual nicknames: Kurloz refers to Gamzee as his FAITHFUL INVERTEBROTHER,

Meenah, Aranea and Cronus Ampora have all expressed unease towards him, not entirely unfounded: Kurloz has no qualms about puppeting his former matesprit Meulin around with his chucklevoodoos as part of a plan that will ultimately see all of his friends DOUBLE SLAIN BY OUR LORD

His personality and Gamzee's are reflective of their roles as Prince and Bard; while Gamzee's ultimate motivations and allegiances are unknown, Kurloz's are more clear cut and sinister.
