Chatter Box, Greeting Place and Discussion Thread 3 (Current Roleplayers and Rules/General Information in OP)

Well, for starters, the role Gamzee was born into (Sugjuggulators) already made me dislike him. His entire "race" if you will, was bent on nothing but the murder and subjugation of others. The entirety of the trolls legal system rested on His Honorable Tyranny, which, as luck would have it, was rumored to have been instated by the Juggalos as a joke, because PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES IN THE HAND OF A LITERAL MONSTER IS SO GOG DAMN FUNNY. But even that I could forgive. Here's the main core of my argument. Two things actually. One is a representation to someone I know in real life (WHO WILL NOT BE MENTIONED HERE FOR REASONS THAT SLICK KNOWS AND WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT), and because of his character design. Whilst I know Gamzee is a driving force for much of the comic, and a lot of what he does is a callback to other jokes or a new joke entirely, it infuriates me to no ends to what kind of shenanigans he can pull off. Gamzee as a character is one big joke. For starters, I know Gamzee is supposed to be ridiculously strong when he's enraged or whatever, but being stabbed in the chest or shot with a machine gun would kill ANYONE (Save maybe Caliborn) Added on to the fact that I want him to die, the fact that he laughs in the face of death just makes me want to scream. His character design (A druggy who is a complete menace when he runs out of drugs) Is actually pretty cool, and I admire AH for coming up with the idea. However, I dislike it immensley. It's just so aggravating to see some retard on drugs half the time galavanting through paradox space doing whatever the heck he wants, and the other half of the time murdering people with his ridiculous strength.

Allow me to elaborate on why I hate his strenth:

Aradia: Can talk to dead, use levitation, and other kinds of psychic powers very adeptly. Drawbacks: Can die easily to the Vast Glub

Tavros: Can commune with animals. Drawbacks: Crippled, and susceptible to the Vast Glub

Sollux: Psyonic. Incredibly Strong. Drawbacks: Pessimist, voices of the doomed constantly driving him batshit crazy, and susceptible to the Vast Glub

Nepeta: Incredible hunting skills, shipping skills, incredibly adorable. Drawbacks: Possible Autism, innocence, and an easy target (If not for Equius)

Kanaya: No powers, but adept with a chainsaw. Drawbacks: Very few, which makes sense, since she doesn't have many powers

Terezi: Mind powers, fighting prowess, investigation. Drawbacks: Blindness (Overcame it, but still)

Vriska: Powers of luck, mind control, general badass. Drawbacks: Lost an eye, outcasted from the group due to her vicious nature, betrayed on a regular basis

Equius: Being STRONG. Drawbacks: Incredible obsession with authority

Gamzee: Essentially unkillable, incredible strength, and the ability to not give a single fuck. Drawbacks: Not many (Sober Gamzee)

Eridan: Can breath underwater, a cool gun. Drawbacks: Besides his personality, not many, which makes sense, given his lack of substantial powers

Feferi: Same as Kanaya

As you can see from my very detailed and laid out chart, Most characters either have little power with little drawbacks, or a lot of power with a lot of drawbacks. Gamzee has few to NO drawbacks, which is incredibly unfair, and I disagree with it furiously.

All this added on with PERSONAL REASONS RELATING A CERTAIN PERSON I HAVE ACTUAL BLACK FEELINGS FOR, make me HATE HIM WITH A PASSION

Okay, ignoring the real life stuff, let me say something about Gamzees powers and the Subjuggulators.

Firstly, we know that Highbloods supposedly have higher damage resistance and there are other speculations how Gamzee might have pulled it off. There is no reason so far to believe that there isn't anything besides "being a clown" that keeps him alive.

Secondly, it is a common theory that, while lowbloods are more likely to have high psychical strenght, highbloods are likely to have great physical strenght. If you think about it, the ones we've seen to have high physical power were all high bloods, or at least not all that low. Gamzee and Equius are both strong and so is Feferi (even if many people forget about that). Nepeta is actually also fairly strong and we never saw Eridan in a physical fight, it wouldn't be to odd to believe that he is farily strong as well. That leaves Terezi, Vriska and Kanaya. Terezi wasn't especially strong but who knows why that is. Vriska being weaker could be explained by the fact that she got psychic powers instead. And Kanaya becomes quite strong after she turns into a rainbow drinker (which is a power you forgot about, I mean, she litterally got a backup life, that's pretty awesome and it comes without a big drawback)

I also noticed that you forgot about karkat, just saying.

All in all, lets just say that I disagree with your power and drawbacks opinion of the trolls
