A page for the many characters that appear in {{Fanfic/Hivefled}}, from the main cast carried over from Homestuck to a cast of colorful {{OC}}s.

[[foldercontrol]]

!! Main Cast (The twelve original trolls from {{Homestuck}})

[[folder: Karkat Vantas]]
Carried over from {{Homestuck}}, he is part of the main cast of {{Hivefled}}. He, along with the other eleven trolls, escaped the Empire and stumbled across a series of caves that housed the Sufferists, a cult that planned to rebel against the Empire. Regarded as the second coming of [[CrystalDragonJesus "The Sufferer"]] by said cult, he however wanted none of it.

!! Tropes:
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: For trolls, beds are only for sex. Karkat is horrified by the idea of a species so promiscuous that they fall asleep on their beds.
* [[spoiler: ChildByRape: The Condesce and possibly the Grand Highblood raped the Sufferer and filled a pail with him, so Karkat is either Gamzee or Feferi's brother.]]
* OhCrap: His reaction upon finding out that Gamzee's ancestor is [[MonsterClown the Grand Highblood]] after he had threatened to "rip his bulge out with my fucking teeth and nail it to his forehead."
* StopWorshippingMe: He doesn't want to be regarded as a messiah, and only puts up with it to keep himself and his friends safe.
** GoneHorriblyWrong: As mentioned above, he just wanted to keep his friends safe. What he didn't realise was that his presence was empowering the cult, which didn't end well for anyone.
* StupidSexyFlanders: Karkat and Kanaya are both mildly freaked out to realise they're bordering on caliginous flirting when arguing about Gamzee and Eridan.
* ToThePain: See the entry for OhCrap above.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Aradia Megido]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of {{Hivefled}}. She wasn't killed in a [=FLARPing=] accident as she was in Homestuck, but instead she got severely injured, leaving her a cyborg.

!! Tropes:
* ISeeDeadPeople: Is the only one who can see the Kin on a regular basis.
* NiceGuy: Has become good friends with Pyeran, the youngest member of the Kin.
* TwoFaced: As mentioned above, she was severely injured in a [=FLARPing=] accident, and had half of her face replaced by metal parts.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tavros Nitram]]
Carried over from Homestuck, he is part of the main cast of Hivefled. After his pupation, he gained wings like his ancestor, the Summoner, and so the Sufferists view him as the new Summoner. He also has functioning robolegs.

!! Tropes:
* {{Asexuality}}: [[spoiler: Non-romantic in the black quadrant.]]
* FunetikAksent: He has his, uhh, stutter from canon.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Him towards his palecrush, [[spoiler:Tsukey Morney, who was part of the Sufferist Cult which attacked the Empire, she was captured and tortured for information, killed, and became one of the Kin, a group of troll ghosts who are bound to Gamzee.]]
* NiceGuy: To the point that he's too nice to hate anyone enough to be their kismesis.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: He has wings and robolegs now.
* WingedHumanoid: He inherited wings from his ancestor, the Summoner.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Sollux Captor]]
Carried over from Homestuck, he is part of the main cast of Hivefled. He became [[spoiler:the helmsman of the twelve trolls' ship, ''Naelenurenna'', by way of a removable Helmsman's rig that was crafted by Equius.]]

!! Tropes:
* FunetikAksent: He has his lisp from canon.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: He's Laneen's half-brother. So far, they haven't met in canon, but the Helmsman mentioned her and Sollux may or may not have asked Aradia to pass on a message.]]
* ThatManIsDead: He's spoken to his ancestor, who was going by 'the Helmsman', who told him that the Psiioniic is dead and the Helmsman saw him die. So far, Sollux has no idea that he's spoken to his ancestor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Nepeta Leijon]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of Hivefled. [[spoiler:After escaping the Sufferists' caverns, she went with the other eleven trolls on ''Naelenurenna'', and became the Auspice between Gamzee and Eridan.]]

!! Tropes:
* GenerationXerox: Averted. Lereal wanted her to take after the Disciple and become involved with Karkat, but Nepeta wouldn't hear of it.
* [[spoiler: LongLostRelative: She and Equius are brother and sister.]]
* MixedMetaphor: "Don’t be such sticks in the mud after the rain on the parade."
* NoodleIncident: She managed to successfully kidnap Equius, of all trolls.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kanaya Maryam]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of Hivefled. She escaped to the Sufferists' caverns along with the other eleven trolls, thus running out on her duties as a jadeblood, mostly in order to assist Feferi.

!! Tropes:
* AntiHero: Has shades of this. She's bossy and jerkish, but still tries to help her friends out.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Terezi Pyrope]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of Hivefled. She went with the rest of the trolls to the Sufferists' caverns, and [[spoiler:fled with them after all 200 of them attacked the Empire.]]

!! Tropes:
* CoolShades: Naturally.
* NoseShove: Her "teaching" Dave to smell colors involved her shoving crayons up his nose.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Vriska Serket]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of Hivefled. After attempting to skip conscription to become a pirate, and was kidnapped by her friends against her will. [[spoiler:After the Sufferists attacked the Empire, with disastrous results, she, along with the other twelve, escaped on the spaceship ''Naelenurenna''.]]

!! Tropes:
* ComplimentBackfire: She tells Gamzee that his scars are "hardcore." That backfires, very, very badly. (See GrievousHarmWithABody for what happens.)
* ConLang: ''Naelenurenna'', which translates out to ''Mindscar'', is partially taken from her ancestor's name, Lenunima (Mindfang.)
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Early in the story, she gets her mechanical arm ripped off by Gamzee, who proceeds to assault her with it.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She's just in it to get back to being a pirate.
* {{Portmanteau}}: The ship's name, ''Naelenurenna'', which translates as 'Mindscar' (she and Eridan couldn't decide whose ancestor to name the ship after, and 'Mindscar' sounded less stupid than 'Dualfang').
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Equius Zahhak]]
Carried over from Homestuck, he is part of the main cast of Hivefled. He was happily conscripted and part of the Alternian fleet until he was kidnapped by his [[PlatonicLifePartners Moirail]] [[GenkiGirl Nepeta]] and a few of her friends. After [[spoiler:the Sufferists attacked the Empire, he escaped in a ship with the other eleven trolls. He also made a removable helmsman's rig so Sollux could pilot the ship.]]

!! Tropes:
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Variation; Equius is a poorly-closeted masochist and really wants his mentor to bully him into doing better. Said mentor picks up on this, and decides to mentally torment him by being ridiculously nice to him. Equius is terribly confused. This also probably contributed to his assumption that Gamzee was happy about GH touching him.
* [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu Broke Your Finger Trying To Punch Equius]]: Dave tried to punch Equius, and since he's pretty much the troll equivalent of a brick wall, this is the result.
* GadgeteerGenius: Where to start? Well, first, he built Vriska's arm and Tavros's legs in canon, but he also was the one to fix up Aradia with robot body parts after her accident, and he's been stated to have built machines for the Sufferists. Also, [[spoiler: he built the first ever removable helmsman rig for Sollux to pilot a spaceship.]]
* GoshDarnItToHeck: When the ship's about to crash. "Crud" indeed.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Him and Eridan. Even when they're being chased by a [[UnderStatement very angry]] [[spoiler: Gamzee]], they still continue arguing.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He was content with being conscripted until Nepeta kidnapped him.
* [[spoiler: LongLostRelative: He's Nepeta's brother.]]
* NoodleIncident: He was successfully dragged by Nepeta into an escape pod. No mention is made of how she could drag him into it.
* OhCrap: Him upon realizing what actually happened to Gamzee.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he threatens to kill Gamzee after he almost killed Nepeta.
* PoorCommunicationKills: After Gamzee messaged him for help, he mistook it for bragging. Gamzee was not pleased.
* ToThePain: If Gamzee or Eridan hurt Nepeta again, Equius will "skin you both with the claw side of my hammer".
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Gamzee Makara]]
The main character of the fic. At eight sweeps, he was conscripted and met his ancestor, [[MonsterClown the Grand Highblood.]] The Grand Highblood then took Gamzee under his wing, and Gamzee couldn't be happier. However, that didn't last. It turns out his ancestor wanted to sacrifice him, and he took Gamzee to [[{{Room101}} the Trap.]] He then [[NightmareFuel "did things"]] to Gamzee. After some advice from the spirits of the trolls the Grand Highblood took in the past, he managed to escape and found Karkat. From there, after they found the Sufferists, [[spoiler: he escaped on a spaceship with the other eleven trolls after [[LeeroyJenkins Lereal Belsai]] attacked the Empire with 200 or so ChildSoldiers.]]

!! Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: GHB and Condesce
* AffectionateNickname: "Gammy" by the Condesce.
* BaddieFlattery: The GHB compliments him on his escape.
* BastardBastard: Threatening Eridan and Equius with rape as "punishment" for not helping him was really not Gamzee's proudest moment. Gamzee is convinced he's tainted by both his parentage and what they did to him, and is only holding himself back for Karkat's sake.
* BerserkButton: Kind of obvious, given what's happened to him.
* BodyHorror: He has a broken horn and several scars/brands.
* BrokenPedestal: Him towards the Grand Highblood.
* ClusterFBomb: Naturally.
* CryingWolf: According to Karkat, Gamzee often does this sort of thing, which didn't help his credence when he messaged Equius and Eridan.
* DisguisedInDrag: He stole a female [[MonsterClown Subjugglator's]] outfit after he escaped [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Trap]] to navigate the Subjug ship.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Gamzee's conversation with Equius and Eridan.
* EvilCounterpart: The Grand Highblood.
* ForcedToWatch: GH and Condesce don't take chances on getting the point across to Gamzee that yes, he is theirs, and no, they never did quadrant-flip.
* GenerationXerox: Averted, he doesn't want to be like his ancestor in the slightest.
* GilliganCut: Unfunny variation; Gamzee declares he won't "hand a bunch of wrigglers over to him", and the next chapter shows the gang failing to persuade Lereal not to drag the cult into attacking the fleet.
* GlasgowGrin
* GrievousHarmWithABody: He rips off Vriska's robotic arm and beats her with it after a ComplimentBackfire.
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: The Kin call him out for being a douchebag. Gamzee apologises and promises to be better… and wakes up to Eridan being a knob. Eridan ends up losing an eye, and Gamzee is left desolate at his own folly.]]
* HotSkittyonWailordAction: Observe the height chart. Think about that. Then remember that Gamzee is actually noticeably bigger than most of the other trolls, and be very relieved that they haven't been caught.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: All he wanted was to be a normal Subjugglator.
* InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike: [[spoiler: He's amused for the first time since his escape by John pointing out that English a declaration of ashen feelings would be "I club you", which doesn't quite sound how the trolls intend it to be.]]
* MindRape: Before Gamzee was outright imprisoned, the Grand Highblood spent a month or so pretending to keep him as an apprentice and treating him "normally", while drugging him and randomly hurting him just enough to keep him confused. Gamzee has a natural resistance to his chucklevoodoos, but that didn't help much.
* NotSoDifferent: He reacts violently to being compared to his ancestor.
* OhCrap: Him after the realization of what's going to happen to him.
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Despite being fed almost nothing during his imprisonment, Gamzee survives a hell of a lot of blood loss, at least until the Glasgow Grin pushes him over the edge and he requires actual medical attention.
* PoorCommunicationKills
* RightBehindMe
* SadisticChoice: Gamzee has to choose between binding himself to the Grand Highblood or having his friends be captured and tortured.
* SeparatedAtBirth: Him and Feferi.
* SexSlave: Poor, poor Gamzee.
* ShipperOnDeck: Him for Feferi and Sollux's moirallegiance.
* ShowerOfAngst
* SlaveBrand
* SpiritAdvisor: The Kin to him.
* TickleTorture: Inflicted on Gamzee in the guise of a game during the "normal" phase of his life with the Highblood, in order to both render him more susceptible to a random Groin Attack and make him feel too stupid to complain. He made the mistake of mentioning it to Equius and Eridan, killing their ability to take his complaints seriously.
* {{Transsexual}}: Gamzee is confirmed by Word Of God as genderfluid, which isn't really a known thing in troll society. Since he also has an unfortunate unrelated biological quirk which made him react more strongly to penetration than most male trolls, he's convinced it makes him a disgusting mutant.
* WhatTheHellHero: The Kin chew Gamzee out for his abuse of Equius and Eridan.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Eridan Ampora]]
Carried over from Homestuck, he is part of the main cast of Hivefled. He was happily conscripted along with Equius until he was kidnapped by Nepeta and co. [[spoiler: After the Sufferers got wiped out, he set out on ''Naelenurenna'' along with the other eleven trolls.]]

!! Tropes:
* AnythingThatMoves: During his time as a recruit.
* {{Asexuality}}: [[spoiler: Responsible for quite a few of his problems, as it's viewed as a form of incompetence in troll society.]]
* BerserkButton: The "Flying Purple People Eater" song. Yes, really.
* BrickJoke: His shoelaces.
* CompensatingForSomething: A very depressing example: he was sleeping around not because he just liked sleeping around, or because he was a prostitute as some of his shipmates thought, but because [[spoiler: he's asexual, and if anyone had suspected, he'd have been culled.]]
* ConLang: Naelenurenna (Mindscar) is comprised of part of his ancestor Dualscar's name.
* EyeScream: Poor thing.
* FunetikAksent: He carries his wwavvy accent over from canon.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Him and Equius.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He was perfectly content with the fleet.
* ItsAllAboutMe
* MistakenForProstitute: Trolls don't make a gender distinction in the stigma related to fucking Anything That Moves, and rumours of Eridan committing theft got mixed up with his promiscuity, resulting in this.
* OhCrap: Upon realizing what actually happened to Gamzee.
* PlanningWithProps: He demonstrates to the kids how he lost his eye, supposedly in [[BlatantLies a duel with a dragon.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: He assumed Gamzee was just begging for attention when he messaged him. He was wrong.
* {{Portmanteau}}: The ship's name, ''Mindscar'', which is derived from the names of his and Vriska's ancestors, Mindfang and Dualscar.
* ReallyGetsAround
* SlapSlapKiss: His relationship with Feferi.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: March Eridan makes an appearance.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Feferi Peixes]]
Carried over from Homestuck, she is part of the main cast of Hivefled. The heiress-to-be, she was set to face her ancestor [[{{Yandere}} The Condesce]] in battle, but made a "tactful withdrawal" and fled to the Sufferists' caverns. [[spoiler: She then took off in a spaceship with the other trolls after the Sufferists got wiped out after their attack on the Empire.]]

!! Tropes:
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Old Lady Out]]: Thanks to a fan contribution, we have an epic battle song for her, fittingly titled [[http://hivefled.tumblr.com/post/35912971354/pitviperofdoom-for-a-full-explanation-go "Feferi's Battle Song"]].
* EvilCounterpart: The Condesce for her.
* PrehensileHair: Her hair brushes itself thanks to a natural form of telekinesis Tyrian trolls have.
* SeparatedAtBirth: [[spoiler: She and Gamzee are full siblings.]]
* SlasherSmile: Gamzee, after his ordeal, saw her normal smile as this.
* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Eridan.

* TheStoner: Keeps pot inside his puppet, though we never see him stoned onscreen.

* ILoveTheDead: His matesprit is the Handmaid. Who has been dead for many decades.

* PedophilePriest: The youngest Kin troll is about eleven and GH has stated the main reason he doesn't go younger is because they die too soon.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Is just as much of a ClusterFBomb culprit as his descendant, but combines it with very erudite language for an interesting contrast.
* WickedCultured: Dear God, the man can ''paint''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Her Imperious Condescension]]
Writes in her blood colour. Uses ) ( instead of 'h', doesn't use capital letters, occasionally uses fish puns and uses no punctuation at all.

* AbusiveParents: In spades.

* CutenessProximity: Done in the most terrifying way possible.
* DirtyOldWoman: Loves kids. As in, ''really'' loves kids.

[[folder: The Handmaid]]
Writes in her blood colour, uses correct spelling and punctuation. Occasionally speaks in Japanese.

* AffectionateNickname: "Pooka", given to her by the Grand Highblood (meaning a vicious shapeshifting spirit).
* AnythingThatMoves
* CrazyJealousGuy: The Grand Highblood was fixated on her, and believed that she was his matespirit while the Condesce was her moirail. (The Handmaid didn't agree.) [[spoiler: As it turned out, all it took was a bit of a nudge from Condesce for the Highblood to kill his love.]]
* CurbStompBattle: She was such a strong psychic that any fight she went into was this. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for her, agreeing not to use her powers is what got her killed.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Started as the lowest blood caste but wound up allies with the two most powerful trolls around.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She had no loyalty to her fellow lowbloods, and teamed up with the Grand Highblood and Condesce because being their ally got her power and wealth.
* PhraseCatcher: "The handmaiden of death" and "the lowblood who should have been a highblood".
* PowerTrio: With the Grand Highblood and Condesce.

* RapeAsRedemption: Sort of. Being psychically and situationally manipulated into sex with the Grand Highblood makes her start to think that doing similar things to others isn't the great idea she thought it was. Whether it sticks remains to be seen.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Psiioniic]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Psiioniic, as in canon. [[spoiler: It's actually worse: the Condesce cut out his superfluous organs, so he can't survive even if he was disconnected. Not to mention, she's in love with him, rapes him and has made him father at least one child with her (Laneen).]]
* ITasteDelicious: Though not by choice.

[[/folder]]

* FoeYay: Had hate-sex (on her part) with Darkleer. [[spoiler:Which produced Nepeta and Equius.]]
* ForcedToWatch: She, the Psiioniic and the Dolorosa were forced to watch the tortures inflicted on the Sufferer. [[spoiler: It was especially bad for the Disciple because they raped the Sufferer and filled pails with him, while she and the Sufferer could never turn a pail in because the mutation would have been spotted.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Other Ancestors]]
Includes the Summoner, the Sufferer, the Dolorosa, Neophyte Redglare, and Executor Darkleer.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Darkleer loved The Disciple, but to say she did not reciprocate (at least not in the same quadrant) is an understatement. They still wound up having sex, but it was hate-sex on her part.
* {{Brainwashed}}: Dolorosa, by Mindfang.
* MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes: Neophyte Redglare's story has her reflecting on her life seconds before she dies.

[[folder: Icatus Gritch]]
Types in his blood colour, doesn't capitalise words, uses way too many question marks and generally tends to sound unsure (hence the question marks).

* BadassGrandpa: He's older than the Grand Highblood, but still manages to tell [[JerkJock Shuran Harkol]] off.

* TheLostLenore: His moirail was Ukuthe, one of the Kin. Sadly, Ukuthe signed the Sul because the Grand Highblood and Condesce threatened Icatus' life, but he has no idea what happened to her, just that she vanished and was never heard from again.
