Gamzee makara

[Dave Paprocki]

[Gamzee] [Makara] is one of the 12 trolls in the Homestuck webcomic. Gamzee is titled the Bard of Rage, and is a purple-blooded troll (which set him very high in [the trolls] caste-like society). [Gamzees] associated zodiac sign is Capricorn and he has become a favorite among fans.
Because of a bad upbringing, Gamzee is always stoned on [sopor] slime, a substance not supposed to be eaten because it supposedly affects the trolls minds, and is a sort of juggalo/ clown cultist. While high, he is very mellow, goofy and friendly and nothing angers him.
SPOILERS: Further along during the story, he runs out of sopor slime and suffers an extreme faith crisis along with finding his crush dead. Now sober and completely insane, he believes it is his [highborn] duty to kill the other trolls, strangling [Equius] Zahhak and beating Nepeta Leijon to death with juggling clubs. He only stops his murderous attacks because of a major [shooshpap] from his friend Karkat.
Gamzee was named after [forumite] Gammy, as well as [Gamze], which is a Turkish word meaning dimple or coquettish look. Makara is the Sanskrit counterpart to the Capricorn sign, as well as referring to a mythological Hindu creature with the hind legs of an aquatic creature and the forelegs of a terrestrial one (much like the Greek Capricorn).
In text, Gamzee speaks with aLtErNaTiNg CaPs. When sober, he randomly switches between all lowercase and ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS AND STILL HONKS from time to time.
