Name: Karkat Vantas
Age: Six Alternian sweeps, which is approximately thirteen Earth years.
Height & weight: Not given in canon. I am inordinately fond of the dominant fanon that he's small, though! So he's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of five feet tall, and compact and small in general.
Physical description: As is normal for an Alternian troll, he has horns, gray skin, black hair, and yellow eyes, and sharp teeth and claws. Unlike most trolls, his horns are nubby little things that aren't even sharp.
Important medical issues: His blood is red! Which is a freak mutation for a troll, and one that he generally tries to keep a secret.
Notes for psychics: Karkat actually seems to be sort of a blank slate here! In canon he's never shown to have a psychic ability, nor does he seem to be particularly vulnerable to them. So basically, consider him average in this regard! If you do delve inside his head, well, prepare to be terrified by a combination of CAPSLOCK SHRIEKING, towering feelings of inadequacy, and giggling maidenly romance. No, really.
Skills of note: Giving out very good relationship advice, making leaderly speeches, and writing memos that everyone promptly ignores.
Friendly physical contact: DON'T YOU SHOOSH ME, GAMZEE, I'M TRYING TO TALK HERE. AND NOBODY ELSE HAD BETTER TRY IT, OR I AM GOING TO TEACH THEM WHAT FRIENDLY PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH A SHARK WITH TWO EXTRA SETS OF TEETH FEELS LIKE. (…you can try, but unless you're Gamzee-- or now John!-- you'll get nothing but snarlyface for your trouble. If you're the kind of character who squishes teenage boys without regard to their flailing and snarling, go for it. XD)
Sexytimes: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY RENDERED ME SPEECHLESS, EXCEPT NOT, THAT WAS A HUMAN-STYLE PACK OF LIES AND YOU WILL ONLY CEASE TO HEAR MY DISPLEASURE WITH THIS WHEN I HAVE RIPPED YOUR HEARING APPENDAGES FROM THE SIDES OF YOUR SKULL AS YOU TRIED AND FAILED TO DO WITH ME BY SUGGESTING PERVERTED GARBAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. (I'm fine with it as a player! But good luck getting Karkat to go along with it, short of plot shenanigans.)
Violence: Would prefer to avoid it for all his talk! and if it breaks the skin, Karkat is probably going to legitimately freak the fuck out on you. (I'm generally okay with it as a player, though, so if you want to go for it just ask first!)
Anything else? Karkat basically flips his shit at the slightest provocation, but he is literally all talk. When the going gets tough, chances are good Karkat Vantas will either freeze up, cry, or faint.
