Top 10 Best Homestuck Characters

A deep and very well written character with just the right amount of vulnerability, conflict, flaws and talents. Karkat has some of the best lines in the comic and can serve both as comedic relief and a vessel for exposition dumps or alien culture exchanges. His interactions and relationships with himself and other characters are also very funny and often genuine and touching, and Davekat is pretty much the jewel in the crown of Homestuck ships, co-jewelling with Rosemary of course.

Oh my god yes. The minute I started the we comic, I couldn't wait to see one of the trolls. After waiting through four acts, with a couple glimpses of Karkat here and there, I couldn't wait to see an appearance from him again. Finally, once the update with act five was uploaded, I was ecstatic when Karkat Vantis came to the screen. Every time he curses at anyone I want to squeal and giggle, he is the best character in Homestuck, no doubt.

With Karkat you're guaranteed for some laughs one way or another. Apart from that he cares a great deal for his companions and does what he can despite being one of the weakest characters in terms of abilities on the battlefield. It's an aspect that is probably what makes the character so popular.

Karkat cares a lot about his friends. He puts a lot of effort into being a leader and sorting everything out. He went through so much. Like trying to stop his best friend from murdering everyone. Not to mention also dealing with the stress of hiding his mutant blood.
He's a really good a character and I love him a lot.

One of my favorite characters, though I hated her at first. She can be very mean, uncaring, violent, murderous and insensitive, but she has reasons to be all of those things. She is a very well-developed character, and gives us a unique view on troll culture and its positive outlook on death and insanity. She is a very interesting character.

Vriska is amazing. Period. Definitely one of the best characters here. I really hated her for a lot of Act 5, which I'm sure most other people did too, but her (SPOILERS) talk with John and especially her death were done so well. She's such a sad character... she's great, though; one of my favorite characters.

Vriska is a very well thought out and fleshed out character. Possibly the troll with the most personality. It's hard not to like her when the whole comic likes to revolve around her and her heroic (although sometimes bad in the long-run) escapades. Doesn't help that she is my patron troll...

Love you Spider 8a8

Her not dying literally changed the timeline from doomed to victorious. Has a lot of flaws, but when push comes to shove, she can work for the benefit of others.

Also, I didn't really like Tavros that much so she gets a free pass on that one thing.

In my opinion, people under-rate every character until they can prove themselves worthy. Like how nobody liked her until she was bad-ass enough to be a rainbow drinker who came alive and bamf'd some noses, kicked some tentacles, and had sunglasses descend on her face. Personally; I found out I was a Virgo and decided to give Kanaya a chance. She then became the best character I ever knew I can't even describe her correctly. She is probably the glue to almost every character. Showing Vriska's manipulative side, a side of Karkat that's calm, and probably more I can't name off the top of my head.

I love kanaya but I think shes treated like a Mary sue(if in which case people see her as a perfect lesbian fashionista vampire when she has flaws herself). Everyone sees her as perfect when absolutely no ones perfect and kanaya herself has flaws and no one is as gorgeous as Aphrodite herself. I don't even believe in Greek gods. but stop treating her like a Mary Sue, gosh. I love kanaya, again, but she's not perfect. No one is.

Kanaya, in my opinion, is underrated.
Yes people like her. But mostly that was after they knew she was a rainbow drinker.
She cares deeply for her friends and she's really loyal. Pkus, she's both badass and motherly.

Doesn't matter if she's in a dress or not, this badass will cut you in half if you mess with her.

He is SUCH a well-written character. His character development is crazy. When he goes into his rants of irony it's really interesting seeing the truth behind all the irony. Personally, I ship him with Terezi, sometimes as friends, sometimes as romantic partners. Their interaction was so cute. If only Gamzee hadn't ruined it all. Also, you can never resist the strider charm.

Dave Strider is a character with so many things hidden, under his facade of irony. It's personally endearing every time he goes on one of his awkward rants, and he looks too cool to not like. I also like that he's not the "main" character, (John is) and his quotes, like so many other's quotes, are to die for.

There's a lot more to Dave than being one hell of a cool dude who tells it like it is and is chill with most things. That being said, he's a pretty cool dude.

Dave Strider is pretty rad, and he's got some of the best character development out of anyone in the comic. He tries to hide his trauma and his fear behind a coolkid facade, but it doesn't work.

€Aradia's story is so tragically beautiful, and her story is the perfect metaphor for depression. She starts off as someone extremely happy. However, she starts blaming herself for her friend's accident, and she gets revenge. She gets killed, and immediately falls into a depression like state. As the story progressess, she's killed again, which could be seen as her depression being killed off, and finally finding a proper reason to fight. She then becomes this badass who just tries to enjoy life, and isn't an emotionally unstable person. She's literally a role model for people, and she's so cool. While the other characters do have more moments and can be seen as more relatable, I'd say that Aradia is just as relatable, and honestly deserved more attention. She's also insanely strong, like, woah, did she just strangle a death god and actually make him struggle?

Aradia is an adorable character with how she traverses through the story. When you see her at first, she's this mysterious character that seems to have an unusually okay outlook on life. Then she goes to a character you can relate to upon how she wants revenge on the person who ruined her life! Finally she shows her heart and ascends to God Tier in order to help and protect her friends. She even cared enough to stay with Sollux in his wounded state! This is a lovable character right here.

Aradia has to be one of the most interesting characters in Homestuck! majority of my friends don't really think much of this troll, mostly because of her blood- But that's what makes her stand out to me. Although having the most common blood, she manages to outshine other trolls. She's one of the happiest characters in homestuck and I find it adorable that she has a knack for dead things. A depressing subject, and a joyous character. something that only a few characters I know of possess. I absolutely love Damara and the Handmaid too.

Aradia is one of my favorite characters of all time! She's had such a tragic past, dying TWICE, and she still comes out of it smiling and adorable. And the whole dead people thing is really cool! I just love her

The most underappreciated adorable, quirky, badass, chill character in homestuck, and here's why.

1. Cuteness
Do I even need to explain this one? She's adorable! Her little kitty shenanigans never cease to make me smile. Her crush on Karkat is super relatable as well. We've all been in her shoes.
2. Friendly
She's probably the most accepting character. She's willing to be friends with everyone, even Vriska. Take her best friend for example: Equius. Pretty much everyone hates Equius except her. She puts up with all his weird habits.
3. BADASS
Nepeta hunts and kills for her food, then draws ships in their blood. The moment you think she's a weak little angel, think again. She's a cute killer.
4. Carefree
She just wants to have fun with her friends, that's it. She never wanted to get caught up in any drama. She's the friend that never complained about any of their problems because they didn't have any. She just wanted to play a fun game with her friends, ...more

She was unbelievably underused and underdeveloped, if the hive bent story had been expanded, she could have been developed as an even more adorable and fun character, with prominent role in the story. Not only was nepeta one of the most lovable characters overall, but she had amazing potential as well!
She is completely and utterly PURRFECT

She deserved so much better, I wish she could have gotten better story time. I think a part of us can all relate to her shipping shenanigans.

Highly underlooked character. As a leo, I stuck to her as a character because we have the same sign and shared similar personality traits. Plus cats are great and she has literally 0 negative traits. Great friend and great character. Oh yea also shes ADORABLE

I don't know why, but I really like Jade. She was an interesting character right from the start, what with how she seemed to be able to see into the future. I also really like her design, especially when she's a God Tier. She's so enthusiastic about everything, and watching her try to deal with John's weirdness on his 15th birthday was hilarious.

From the very beginning, Jade was both fun-loving and smart. She was silly, but not stupid. She was smart, and shown from the get-go to be one of the most powerful characters in the entire webcomic. She grew up on an island in the middle of nowhere, by herself, with only her and her dog, and she manages to be the total badass she is today. Jade is amazing.

Jade is absolutely one of the best homestuck characters. Not only did she grow up without an adult(or not a human one at least) she also had to go through seeing the stuffed carcass of her Deceased Grandfather. She lived on the island for quite some time with only a dog as her companion. Also she is super cute and wayyy smart

Jade is actually very cute. She's smart and very innocent. To be honest, she's my favorite character. Aradia coming at second. She progresses as a good character and a key one.

Sollux Captor is the brother of Mituna Captor. He is such a cool character and I would say my favorite! He is sooo cool with his special powers in his eyes which on it red and one is blue. He likes honey. I think goes well with Aradia (as a couple) but then that. he is a really good hacker and you know just has a way with computers. I would say he would be like the cool kid in the troll community. and even though he is so cool he cares deeply about things. even the smallest mistakes he makes a big deal out of. but that's okay. either way he is AWESOME.

Thii2 2hiit ii2 2tupiid... KK what have you done to your computer now?

Soullux is just awesome. Doesn't have too much impact on the story but when he has his moments, he is a complete badass. I love him along with Terezi and gamzee.

He's funny and actually is sometimes a relatable character. Wait. That's all of them. Well I like him the best. I find him cute.

He's a gemini. He's 2a22y, and he has amazing moments and quotes. Also, people can really connect to this character which makes him even more lovable.

Roxy was actually the first homestuck character I've seen before I even read the comic. After I read it, she's one of the strongest characters I've seen aside from Terezi. Even though she drinks, she still manage to (probably) stop the habit of drinking and protect her friends. She needs to be number 1, in my opinion

Roxy needs to be much higher on this list. She is easily best human. Bad ass, compassionate, hilarious, smart, relatable, beautiful, loves her friends, struggles to conquer her flaws but eventually comes out victorious- literally what more could you want out of a character?

She is badass, amazing, and she keeps her team together! Like seriously, why is she not number 1? She's quirky and sassy and amazing at so many things. She really does love her friends and protects them as best she can. I love Roxy.

She had ACTUAL character development. She saw that she had a problem and she fixed it, and I think the other characters should try to take their problems head-on like her.

I believe there is no character as intelligent, intriguing, well disposed, or mysterious as Rose. She immediately grasped my attention with the way she talks, thinks and acts. I also think her hobbies and interests are silly and adorable. Even though this is a flaw on her part, something that is ironically lovable about her is the fact that she doesn't realize how much she loves and cares for someone until they're gone. When she realizes how much she cared for Jaspers and her mother, I came to adore her even more. She may be a capable character, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her weaknesses, and flawed characters are the best characters. ( All Homestuck characters have flaws though and that's awesome.) She is number one on my character list for sure.

Rose is such an important character to me. When I first read Homestuck, I saw a lot of myself in her: smart, sarcastic, tense relationship with her mother. In addition, I had just come out when I started reading, and it was amazing to find such a great character who was also a lesbian. I love Rose with all my heart!

She really is an awesome character! She's very smart and loves to give her friends advice! I can relate a lot to her because she loves to knit and she loves reading. She is also a Derse dreamer, which I am as well! If someone told me to pick what character I could relate to the most it would be this amazing girl.

Rose is honestly a fascinating disaster of a girl and I'm always surprised that people think she's boring. Best character, 413/10

Eridan is an intricate character that has a really sad story to me. The way that feferi left him for his greatest adversary and how he just lost all control is really sad and I honestly think he's adorable. That and the fact that his design doesn't want to make me throw up(feferi' fashion sense makes me gag). Overall, he can be somewhat relatable with his emotions and he was also smart of trying to switch sides. He is probably the most human out of the trolls. That's why I love him.

Eridan is a really complex character that really deserves more love. It's a shame the fandom portrays him as desperate to fill quadrants and nothing else. He learned a lot of military history at a very young age, keeps wands in his fridge (which is pretty adorable if you ask me! ) and the reason he wanted to kill landdwellers was because they kept littering in the ocean! I love Eridan Ampora okay

He basically is the enbodiment of a school shooter. Everyone picked on him until he snapped. Basically every mention of him throughout the series stated that he was a "douche", nobody liked him, nobody even tried to understand him past his genocidal and egotistic exterior, even though every other raging/egotistical troll became a tsundere, and got all the love.

Be in peace, mah boy Eridan. Be in peace...

I honestly really like this character. He did terrible things, sure. But I just really loved how his character was written. The fandom tends to portray him as simply an overdramatic ass who wants to fill quadrants and buckets, and that's about it. Sure, he is overdramatic, and can be an ass at times. But I just really love this character, okay? I don't know how to describe it, but I just LOVE THIS CHARACTER.

While I am *slightly* biased against her (my moon sign is a pisces), I do have to say that since the minute I saw her, she was one of my favorites. her sass, her wit, and just her sarcastic, go-getter yet contradictory nonchalant attitude, and of course her badxss trident dolphinitely put her high on my list.

Pure ambition and lust for power. Redeemed Pisces.

Fish puns, fish puns everywhere.

This guy is underrated. Like seriously. Nobody likes him that much but come on! He's one of the nicest characters! Yes in the beginning he treated his fellows poorly. But he established this connection with Nepeta and it's just so...he's nice! Very underrated, needs more love!

He is extremely underrated. Every time I talk to someone who likes Homestuck, they always say Equius is ugly or weird. Personally, I think otherwise. I think he's very attractive, and he can put a dent in your skull with a flick of him finger.

I love Equius, but he is way too underrated! Sure I kinda thought he was a bit of an a-hole when we first see him talking to nepeta. But I took an imeditant liking to him in his introduction. He's very funny and(in my opinion) sooo cute! I just hate it how people question me about this, like seriously, grow some spines! Anyone who hates him must be an ignorant dizzle-bag that only cares about looks. He needs more love!

Honestly, Equius is an underrated character. He was responsible for some important parts of the plot, though not directly (For example, he built Aradiabot). He just needs more love, okay?

I don't care about any other characters in Homestuck, only the Mayor. I have a shrine to him in my bedroom. My mom called me crazy for worshiping him but I don't care. It is my lifelong dream to be a citizen of can town. God bless the Mayor.

Man the Mayor is like the best character ever. Yo if you don't like the mayor, we gonna have to take this outside. I'll fight anyone for my boy the Mayor.

The mayor has done no wrong.
He's done no wrong, he hasn't killed anybody, he's only made people happier.
Also, he's made Can Town, which is the best town that has ever existed.

The mayor. Come on. It's the mayor! I don't know why he's all the way down at 112, as he needs more love. You can't not love the mayor.

Dirk is one of my favorite characters because I can relate to him. He has arguments with himself and tries his hardest to fix things. He will sacrifice himself for all his friends and will blame himself for not being good enough, even if he is doing everything he can. He might have that untouchable style, but that's only to cover up his true feeling; he's afraid that if he opens up people won't like him. Dirk loves Roxy, not romantically, but he truly wants the best for her because she thinks she deserves the world. Overall, I think he should be higher up because of what a great character he is.

Dirk is one of, if not the most, internally conflicted people in all of Homestuck. There have been only a handful of times I've really taken Homestuck seriously (and I've read the whole thing, thus far), but of all of those moments, only Dirk talking to the Auto-Responder really made me stop and think. Damn he's a layered character, and the one that I identify with the most. It's a crime for him to be this low.

Dirk shouldn't be this low! He's fantastic. He doesn't like Roxy as more than a friend, but he cares about her and he even feels bad he can't feel the same way about her. Dirk also cares about Jane, and he'd be right there if she needed any sort of help. And Jake... Jake and Dirk had an interesting relationship. But Dirk is very sweet and if you mess with his friends, your game is OVER.

He is a really interesting character and I get why people could not like him, but he's grown so much since the kid who re-writes pony stories. He had to deal with a lot of bad stuff and he stays surprisingly put together and collected. I really like him.

Wow.

Gamzee should be higher.. Why?

You guys do realise later on in either Act 4 or 5 he seems to be the main plot of the story right?

Who doesn't love a funny ass troll that doesn't care what people think of him. He's all chill when Karkat says he hates him, it's like bread and butter. The bread is always saying he's the leader and the butter doesn't care and rolls with it.

Later on, Gamzee turns into an extremely insane killer. That was the main plot for awhile and finally Gamzee was in charge. He probably killed at least 7 trolls in the process. And he only used CLUBS. And a few other weapons..

This guy is underrated and he needs more attention.

"SuP mOtHeReR.." -- Gamzee

That's HOW CHILL HE IS. 100%

Gamzee. Best character. Absolute BEST CHARACTER. Both sides of him are amazing. First he's an adorable, charming, funny little clown boy without a care in the world.

But then. Suddenly.

He's an insane murderer. He realizes what he was meant for. He's the descendant of the Grand Highblood, and the last of the subjuggulators. His purpose is to purge all of the lowbloods (the "peasants"). And when he realizes this, he has no problem killing everyone in front of him. In fact, his goal is to kill everyone in front of him.

Each of his different character sides were amazing, and the switch from his lighthearted one to his killing one was equally so.

Not to mention the scene where he killed Equius and Nepeta was really cool.

Gamzee is one of the nicest characters. The last time I checked, he was friends with one of the rejects, Tavros Nitram. Tavros, the one who was made fun of, the one who nobody was friends with. But Gamzee was his friend. And it really isn't his fault that his goat father wasn't there for him! What if he didn't know what he was doing when he was sobor?

Once I found out he was an actual character I took a quick liking to him. He is overall a good character, but to be honest I sometimes questioned my theory because of his killing. After a while it was decided I was just plain ones see with him and he was an amazing character.

Like how is he not higher up the list? do not get me started in the new recton timeline, how he was so nice to jake even though jake thought no one was his friend after being such an oblivious doofus (he isn't now huehuehue) in the old timeline. He gave him the best advice on how to be more confident even though in the old timeline he himself didn't have any. That literally proves he at least had SOME character development overtime. And he didn't say "OkAY to be confident you need to do this, and do that," he said that since he's immortal he literally has forever to realise his potential and confidence. hell, if Tavros was real I would've taken that advice and give him millions of nuggets for that act of kindness and support. Tavrosprite was not a waste, I'll tell you that. Without him, the alpha kids would still not be his friends. I'm so proud of him and he really deserves to reach his potential. BOTH jake and Tavros.

This guy is adorable! He's got this active imagination and it's so cute, and it shows that despite his little accident he's still who he is! He's faltering yet when he's with Gamzee he's a little more confident. Tavros needs more love!

Vriska doing the "suck it" move= mold
Tavros flipping off vriska and telling her to suck it while pulling off the air guitar and cabbage patch= GOLD.

basically, Tavros is better than vriska in so many ways and should be in her place of the list.

Tavros is one of my favorite character. He needs more love, and he was my favorite character from the second he debuted in act 4 (when he talked with either Dave or Jade, I can't quite remember)
