The Black 101 for Gamzee Makara
Gamzee is a clown. Pre-sobriety, he is good-natured and laidback, though frivolous and often without coherent patterns of thought. Once he stops consuming his sopor slime, however, Gamzee gains something of a god complex and turns viciously homicidal. He is often given a low, throaty voice.
His trolltag is terminallyCapricious (TC). When high, he alternates capitalization between letters (LiKe ThIs). When sober, he switches from no caps to all caps between separate lines.
Gamzee appears to be the troll equivalent of a Juggalo, belonging to a cult of capricious minstrels, and his text is littered with references to Juggalo subculture. Capricious means impulsive and/or unpredictable, so this may be an indicator of his personality, although most of his actions and conversations have shown him to be more silly and spacey than impulsive. Karkat has noted that during the battle with the Black King, Gamzee 'flipped the fuck out' and delivered an incredibly damaging attack to the Black King, doing the most damage of any of the trolls in a single blow. Karkat also notes afterwards, that he "WENT BACK TO SPACING OUT FOR THE REST OF THE FIGHT", implying that, while attacking, he was enraged or else acting abnormally.
