Karkat Vantas

Karkat Vantas is a character from Andrew Hussie's webcomic, Homestuck. Karkat is a short tempered and rude troll.
==Personality==
Karkat spends most of his time bashing of others. Even though he is rude he is still a good leader to the trolls. Karkat gets angry very easy and is always annoyed by another troll named Terezi. He says the word fuck a lot. 
==Powers/Abilities==
Karkat has some weapons like the crab hand he has. This hand acts as if it was a sickle but it is really just a crab hand. Karkat fights the Black King with the crab hand and manages to cut off some of the kings hands.
As a Knight of Blood, he is also driven by the force of bonds, as seen in [S] GAME OVER where he outran Kanaya to save Terezi. He never reaches god tier, so the full extent of his Knight of Blood powers is never revealed.
==Appearance==
Karkat comes from an alien race called trolls. Trolls have grey skin, fangs, horns, and yellow eyes. When a troll becomes mature, their eyes become the color of their blood (in this case red). Karkat has tiny, rounded horns and similarly shaped teeth. He wears a black T-shirt with the cancer symbol on it, the Sign of the Signless, Karkat's candy red blood is a mutation which were it to be revealed would get him killed, so he goes to great lengths to hide it. Other trolls type in their blood colors and the symbols on their shirts are drawn in them, but Karkat types in and wears grey and explains it as a choice based around the fact he doesn't think it's anyone's business.
==Act 3==
In Act 3 Karkat contacts Jade and tells her that she is a stupid loser and other mean insults at her. Karkat is then seen at the end of Act 3 when Spades Slick turns on a screen which shows Karkat on it.
==Act 4==
In Act 4 Karkat tells Dave that Jade should forgive him.
==Act 5==
In Act 5 Karkat is seen in his room trying to get into his recupercoon. Karkat fails and instead gets stuck in the object. Karkat then teases Terezi saying that he is there new leader and not her. Karkat then comes across Jack Noir. Jack stabs Karkat and Karkat hides his blood in embarrassment that Jack might see it. When Jack sees his blood is red Karkat tells him that he is the only one in his kind to have the color red blood and that it is "mutant". Jack then cuts himself and reveals that he has red colored blood as well. Karkat and Jack then become friends and watch as Sollux Captor is killed. When Karkat cries over Sollux's death Jack slaps him repeatedly for being a crybaby. Karkat them sees Feferi kiss Sollux's dead body and Karkat is disgusted.
==Act 5 Act 2==
In Act 5 Act 2 Karkat finds out that Eridan Ampora killed Feferi and Kanaya Maryam. Karkat gets furious at him and calls him an unforgivable jerk. Karkat then kisses Kanayas dead body not knowing that it won't bring Kanaya back to life, because her dream self is dead. Karkat then is contacted by Doc Scratch not to look at the dead bodies. Karkat looks only to find Gamzee contacting him. Gamzee tells Karkat about his bloodlust and Karkat tries to carry Sollux away from Gamzee. Later Karkat tells Equius to subdue Gamzee. Karkat then finds out that Sollux was a live and gets mad at Sollux for teasing him. When Karkat and all the other trolls are about to get their prize (control over the universe) Jack comes and forces them to retreat. Karkat's dream self then wakes up and prospit is then destroyed by Jack. Karkat wakes up and tells every prospit dreamer not to sleep and every Derse dreamer to knock them selves out.
==Act 6 Act 1==
In Act 6 Act 1 Karkat meets Dave Strider and Rose Lalonde at last. John Egbert then accidentally sends Karkat a bucket that hits Karkat, causing him to have a "mental breakdown".
==Act 6 Act 2==
In Act 6 Act 2 Karkat and Dave both want to date Terezi. Karkat feels possessive of her and proposes he and Dave make a schedule so they can both see Terezi and not each other. Dave thinks that's a stupid idea, and when Karkat starts drawing up a schedule Dave grabs the pen and they wrestle for control of it. Dave draws a bunch of dicks and calls it "penis ouija". Karkat yells that Dave has no idea what all this hateful touching implies, and that he doesn't like him like that. Karkat gets tangled in Dave's cape, and Dave flips him onto the table, ending the argument and leaving everyone in the room significantly more uncomfortable than when they started.
==Relationships==
Karkat's dancestor is a troll named Kankri Vantas. Kankri was protected by Kanaya's dancestor Porrim, mirroring the relationship of The Sufferer and The Dolorosa. Karkat does not seem to like Kankri very much but Kankri views Karkat as his dedicated pupil, Possibly due to Karkat's shocked silence during Kankri's speeches.
Karkat's ancestor is The Sufferer or The Signless.
Karkat's lusus is a crab which acts as his dad.  
Karkat and Terezi are childhood friends, and were mutually attracted to one another, but Karkat avoided committing to actually being with her because he never felt the circumstances were absolutely perfect. As Dave and Terezi grew closer during the beta kids' game and then actually began dating on the meteor, Karkat became very jealous and somewhat possessive. Dave and Terezi eventually break up, and Karkat and Dave become best bros. They work together to intervene with Terezi during the lowest point of her kismesis with Gamzee. 
During the retcon meteor journey, Vriska takes up most of Terezi's time, and Kanaya takes up much of Rose's, and with Gamzee in hiding, that leaves Karkat, Dave, and the Mayor with each other for company. Karkat and Dave are significantly less adversarial on this journey, and are shown to play games like hopscotch with the Mayor, and watch movies together. In his conversation with John, Dave rambles on about gayness and society, to which John asks if Dave is gay now, and if so, who with, noting there aren't many boys on the meteor, just Gamzee and Karkat. They're interrupted before Dave can confirm or deny dating Karkat, but Jasprosespriteˆ2 and Vriska both comment on their closeness and possible involvement in quadrants, and Davepetaspriteˆ2 confirms that Dave has a crush on Karkat. 
In the Homestuck Epilogues and Homestuckˆ2: Beyond Canon, which are only somewhat actually canon, the story follows two timelines: Meat, and Candy. In the Meat timeline, Dave and Karkat are living together, and Dave convinces Karkat to run for president against Jane Crocker. Fuckery ensues and he does not win the election. In the Homestuckˆ2 portion of the Meat timeline he's aboard the ship and worried about several things. He and Dave kiss on panel. 
In the Candy timeline, Jade, Dave, and Karkat, are in a polyamorous relationship, though Karkat leaves eventually and Dave and Jade get married. Karkat goes off into space to fight in the Rebellion and begins dating Meenah. Somewhere along the way he looses an eye. He attends Dave and Jade's wedding, who both serve under his command in the Rebellion at that point, but avoids both of them. In the Homestuckˆ2 portion of the timeline, he's still fighting in the Rebellion and returns to Earth to discuss with John a possible way to win, and learns that Dave has died.
