୨♥︎ Equius Zahhak ♥︎୧

Equius is a complicated and initially disturbing troll. He is a firm believer in the blood caste system, believing one should respect those higher than them and be personally disgusted by those who are lower (such as those on the Red Team). He believes one is not only allowed, but obligated to boss around anyone who is lower-ranked than them and to accept and obey orders from anyone who is higher-ranked. He believes "highbloods" should act with elegance and authority and "gutterbloods" should act with crass and submission, and most importantly, highbloods and gutterbloods should not fraternize. Any deviation from this pattern (such as Gamzee and Aradia's actions) flusters him greatly. He tries ordering highbloods to order him around, but notices the contradiction. He tries to keep up with many aristocratic practices, and has dabbled in slam poetry (mostly about his strange fetishes).

He likes to (and is brilliant enough to) build robots, intending to destroy them in bouts of rage. He builds a pair of robotic legsHS for Tavros, a robotic armHS for Vriska, and an entire indigo-blooded robot bodyHS for Aradia. However, his actions are also referred to as misanthrobopyHS, as he finds pleasure in dueling the robots he builds in brutal cage matches, often losing teeth in the process (though they usually grow backHS). Broken robot parts are piled on his floor. The technology he uses to build his robots is very similar if not identical to the technology used to build Jade's dreambot and augment John's bunny, as well as the technology Dirk uses with Brobot.

He has an appreciation for fine Alternian musclebeast art, depicting extremely muscular and well-endowed beasts displaying their brutish strength. The posters on his wallHS are actually part of an old and respected Alternian tradition, despite their outwardly disturbing appearance. The posters themselves are taken from ironic art reviews made earlier by Andrew Hussie. Some have also appeared in the Jandrew Edits he co-creates.

Equius has a tendency to quickly fly into a rage about practically everything. He is only able to express his rage by building robots, setting them to "Kill Mode," and smashing the shit out of them with staggering quantities of violence. In a pinch, other acts of destruction will do, such as when Aradia throws a bath tubHS through his wall to calm him down. He also gets profusely sweaty when placed in compromising situations, or when flying into said rage fits. According to himHS, he would probably be far more dangerous if he didn't have Nepeta as his moirail to keep him subdued.

Equius angry over spilled milk STRONG!!

He seems to enjoy the concept of domination, admiring his own strength, as well as the clout that his blue blood gives him over the lesser blood colors. However, it would seem that he would prefer to be dominated by the few trolls that occupy a caste higher than his own, or by anyone lower-classed who acts with a manner refined enough that it confuses him. He even went so far as to make an artificial heart which pumps blue blood for Aradia.

He likes games, but only if they are serious important games with high stakes. He has no interest in Flarp, and forbade Nepeta from playing as well. This may have saved her from being eaten by Vriska's spider lusus. While alone with Nepeta, however, he will begrudgingly accept to engage in more frivolous antics (horsing around, if you will).

Equius is a rather muscular troll. He has grey skin, a tall build, and two pointed horns that are red, orange and yellow. He wears a pair of broken, square sunglasses, a black tank top with a blue Sagittarius symbol on it, grey shorts, black stockings, and cleats. Underneath his glasses are his eyes of course, they have black pupils, yellow sclera's, and blue bags underneath them.
