Hemospectrum

There are eight main blood castes which determine what color someones blood color is, but that isn't everything. Some of the main castes also have sub-castes, which more closely defines what makes that person and their blood colour different from everyone else. Not all the main castes have sub-castes the ones that don’t have sub-castes are Sangriabloods, Yellowbloods, Mossbloods and Pinkbloods.

## Main Castes and Sub-Castes

### Sangriabloods

Sangriabloods are the lowest blood caste on the hemospectrum and are treated like garbage by society. To find out more read Zeroth. Trolls may sometimes posses psychic abilities, Sangriabloods are the most likely compared to the rest of the hemospectrum to get these psychic abilities. There is no limit to what kinds of abilties Sangriabloods may possess. Usually they've been kinetic powers like telekinesis and telepathy.

### Marmaladebloods

Marmalade’s sub-castes are High Marmalade and Low Marmalade. They are split because High Marmalade is just a tad bit different from its counterpart. They have the power to communicate with animals. If someone in this caste doesn’t have those kinds of powers they will be executed. Those belonging to Low Marmalade don’t have any powers at all, which is why they are separated into two groups.

### Yellowbloods

Yellowbloods are the third and final caste in the 'lowblood' scale. According to Portek yellowbloods ALWAYS have psiionics and that they usually have abilities like laser eyes or laser fingers. It is possible for them to have other types of psionics, like pyrokinesis, cryokinesis etc, but it is pretty rare. Yellowbloods may have colored eyes with their psionics color scheme with no pupils at all, this only happens if they have psionics that require their eyes. Like laser eyes for example.

### Mossbloods

Mossbloods are extinct, because they had supernatural powers that weren’t acceptable by the government. And so, they were all killed. The powers the Mossbloods possessed are unknown. Though Mossbloods are actually considered Greenbloods they have their own caste because they are extinct.

### Greenbloods

The sub-castes of the Green caste includes Sage and Jade. Unlike in homestuck, Jadebloods aren’t the only caste to take care of the wigglers made by the mother grub. All the sub-castes in the Green caste are assigned the task to take care of them. They are also sometimes assigned to accompany the drones in their mission to collect genetic material for the mother grub.

### Bluebloods

The sub-castes of the Blue caste include Aqua, Cobalt and Azure. Those belonging to the Cobalt sub-caste may have powers relating to mind control and those belonging to the sub-caste Azure will most likely have incredible athletic and/or physical abilities.

### deep dark blue?

It is a very darkened blood colour and because of that isn't on the hemospectrum. Meaning that anyone who has it is a mutant and the troll Miraya Kontlo has this specific blood colour which makes it harder for her to be in public without being culled. If it weren't for her mutation she would be considered a blueblood in the Azure sub-caste.

### Orchidbloods

Orchid's sub-castes are Lavender and Violet. Lavenderbloods are the highest blood caste that aren’t seadwellers. All Orchidbloods are forced to be a part of a religion. Having face paint on is one of the noticable features of a Orchidblood and is a must have in their religion. Any caste member can join in the religion, but Orchidbloods are still considered the highest in their church. If a Orchidbloods refuses to join the religion, they are killed. The sub-caste Violet is the first where the ones belonging to it are seadwellers. Being a seadweller means having fish like features, like fins but still having the features of a troll, like grey skin and horns. Orchid and Pinkbloods are the highest castes on the hemospectrum and are both treated as if they were royalty, because they sort off are. Find out more in Whole and Elite.

### Pinkbloods

Pinkbloods are the highest main caste on Citis and are the only ones who are allowed to even register to be on the presidential ballot.

## Caste System

There are five different groups which base the blood castes social status and how they’re treated by society. These groups are called Zeroth, Fiasco, Half, Whole and Elite.

### Zeroth

The Zeroth blood group consists of only Sangriabloods and it is the lowest group out of them all. Because of this they are usually considered trash and worthless by others. Which also leads to them having minimum wage jobs and jobs nobody wants. They are thought of as backup material by everyone else. If one of them were to die nobody would care.

The word Rust is considered a slur amongst most trolls and saying it while not being a Sangriablood is the same as saying the n-word while not black. The reason why Sangriabloods are at such a low level is because on Citis, red is seen as a bad colour. A colour representing evil and madness. Anyone with a similar bloodcolour as red is considered the same.

The average life span of Sangriabloods is around the same as the human lifespan. Which would be 39,5 sweeps aka 79 years.

### Fiasco

The Fiasco blood group consists of Marmalade and Yellowbloods. Fiasco’s are seen as hard working and free spirited. They are called Fiasco because they (at least it’s said that they do) cause the most chaos out of all the blood groups.

They are seen as hard working because of their powers which can both help with well, hard work. With High Marmalade’s using animals to help them do heavy work and Yellowbloods using their psiionics or other kinetic powers to build things.

The average lifespan of the Fiasco blood group is around 120 years, which would be 60 sweeps.

### Half

The blood group, Half includes the Green and Blue caste. They’re called Half because they are considered in the middle of the hemospectrum and those belonging to this blood group are just a step away from one of the highest blood groups, being Whole. Green and the Blue caste are both seen as caring, careful and nurturing people. Which is why they’re usually assigned jobs relating to teaching or helping others directly. Like being a doctor or a teacher.
