It is possible that the blood-color caste system may correspond with medieval class systems on Earth. Folykl , on other hand, can drain others' psychic energy. Trolls of this caste have also been called fudgebloods, and Terezi associates the blood's smell with chocolate. As shown in Hiveswap, most Jade bloods do not leave the caverns often. They may publish anything in magazines that they want, whether it be harsh criticisms or what they had for lunch that day. The Homestuck Kids also type in text colors corresponding to their eyes, but obviously this has nothing to do with blood.
One whose ancestors have been born in the same town for some generations is called To eat into the flesh, to fester, Roxb. Yesterday, nae farther gane, just as we were mounted, and about to ride forth, in rushed a thorough Edinburgh gutterblood — a ragged rascal, every dud upon whose back was bidding good-day to the other, with a coat and hat that would have Sir Walter Scott, If it were not for the wine and the good cheer which we have had in yonder old man's house, my lord," said the sapient follower, "and that I ken him by report to be a just living man in many respects, and a real Edinburgh gutterblood , I should Calliope has stated that the lime bloods had some unusual names.
Kankri Vantas refers to members of the caste as "yellowgreens", considering the term "lime blood" offensive due to its historical connotations, implying that the caste was historically oppressed on Beforus. The lime blood color was originally alluded to when the Grand Highblood was introduced, as there was a shade of green previously unaccounted for. The existence of the color was later confirmed by Hussie, and the page was retroactively changed to feature a lighter shade of green.

This suggestion was strengthened by them being categorized among limeblood signs in the Hiveswap extended zodiac, where the lime color was further changed slightly , along with Oliveblood, probably to make them more distinct from each other. When asked if she had the powers that lime blooded trolls have, she answered maybe. Calliope being a lime blood may relate to how she uses Commonwealth spellings, as an old derogatory slang for the British is " limey ".
The color of lime blood amongst the cherubs is drastically different from that of the trolls, and looks similar to the web color harlequin. Caliborn refers to her blood as "harlequin slime". Olive Blood is considered the "middle class", and the color is referred to as ok but not great by Equius. Equius and Nepeta simply call it "green", but this may not be the specific term, as there are two other shades of green on the hemospectrum.
No known olivebloods seem to have any sort of psychic power. This may indicate that somewhere in the green part of the hemospectrum, trolls start to be more likely to be born without psychic powers. The threshecutioners included olive bloods within their ranks as well as bluebloods of unspecified hue. Jade Blood is rare among trolls, and trolls with this blood color are given a unique role in troll society. In the past, jade blooded auxiliatrices were tasked to tend to the Mother Grubs in the brooding caverns. On Beforus, they were a predominantly female caste and their duties also included caring for wigglers.
All jadebloods seem to have horns with a hook of some kind. As shown in Hiveswap, most Jade bloods do not leave the caverns often. In Hiveswap Friendship Simulator: Volume Seventeen , Daraya Jonjet states that during the time period of Hiveswap, adult Jadebloods are "cloistered", and shipped off to isolated enclaves. She also mentions that adult Jades are forbidden to contribute material to the genetic slurry and no pailing is allowed once we mature, for some i dunno bullshit old-fashioned reason. This is not elaborated upon further. Kanaya , who is afforded the privilege of being brought up by a Virgin Mother Grub " an event so rare as to elude documented precedent " , also eventually turns into a rainbow drinker the Alternian equivalent of a vampire, who can withstand the planet's sun and radiates light upon her death.
Porrim became a rainbow drinker before her session began and the Dolorosa engaged rainbow drinker mode in one of the Paradox Space comics and when meeting John not too much later. Kanaya and Porrim confirmed that being a rainbow drinker directly relates to having jade blood. Kanaya also stated that their caste must have developed these abilities after working in the dark birthing caverns, while Rose suggested that the ability could have been developed to scare predators away from young wigglers.
As a chromatic median between the green and blue castes, teal blooded trolls are not quite considered nobility, but still outrank the middle-class green blooded castes. Trolls of this blood color typically take civil servant positions, such as that of a legislacerator. According to Mindfang, typical lusii for this caste are cholerbears and spleenfowls, both implied to be big enough to carry their trolls. Trolls of this caste are generally involved with jurisprudence.
Redglare was a legislacerator, the Alternian equivalent of a lawyer who also doubles as a bounty hunter, and Terezi hoped to one day also have such a role in the Alternian legal system. Both Terezi and Redglare also had dragons as their lusus , which Mindfang stated was quite unusual for someone, especially one of their blood color, to have. They also used their verbal prowess to affect others, rather than any sort of psychic ability. As Latula comes from Beforus rather than Alternia, it is not known what was expected of her as a teal blood.
Stelsa is said to be an Auditerrorized in training, and the librarian in the Bookhive in Friendsim Vol. It is suggested that cerulean blooded trolls are unlikely to develop psychic powers. Usually this blood color is simply referred to as "blue," which can cause confusion as indigo blood is also referred to, and appears to be, blue.
A potion based on her blood is referred to as cobalt, but Vriska herself called her blood "cerulean. Vriska Serket , her ancestor Marquise Spinneret Mindfang and her dancestor Aranea Serket are very powerful psychics who are able to manipulate the minds of others to bend to their whim.
All of them also have vision eightfold, allowing them to peer within the Magic Cue Ball to discover its secrets. Aranea confirmed that psychic abilities related to mind reading and manipulation are an occasional phenomenon amongst cobalt blooded trolls. However, Vriska and Ardata 's possession of both and the lack of mentioned psychic abilities among any cerulean bloods without eye mutations implies this.
Mierfa Durgas is stated to be a member of this caste by her creator but appears to be listed as Indigo in Hiveswap judging by the prefix on her 2D image. Indigo Blood is the second-highest tier of blood amongst the land-dwelling trolls.
They are prone to violence as well because of their location on the hemospectrum. As with cerulean blood, this blood type is commonly called "blue," but the color has been alternately referred to as "indigo" when used as ink or in a potion. It is stated that Equius 's enormous strength is unique to himself while his strength unawareness is a blueblood trait. It is unclear if the same goes for his ability to regenerate his teeth. Horuss is also stated to share Equius' great strength, and multiple Indigo bloods in Hiveswap Friendsim are shown to have similar strength as well. Also, Equius, Darkleer, and Horuss are all skilled in robotics.
The archeradicators are known to include indigo bloods. Aradia became an indigo blood when her ghost inhabited the soulbot Equius constructed for her. As a result, she became much more violent a trait absent from the lowblooded castes. Indigobloods have a reputation of being snooty and stuck-up. It is likely that most of the entire caste cares immensely about the hemospectrum like Equius does, but some Indigo bloods do not. Purple Blood is the highest ranked blood possible for land-dwelling trolls, and members of this caste are referred to as the "highbloods.
Andrew Hussie stated that all the purple blooded trolls are adherents to an Alternian Juggalo -like cult that believes that " a band of rowdy and capricious minstrels will rise one day on a mythical paradise planet. So far, all purple blooded trolls Aside from one background troll in Hiveswap Friendsim Vol. Gamzee 's psychic powers possibly augmented by his Bard of Rage powers allowed him to facilitate the appearance of a harlequin Jack Noir doll and Dream Cal in John and Dave's respective dream towers dream rooms reflect the subconscious of players, so it's not clear if Gamzee was using a form of telepathy or conjuring the objects directly.
It is notable that Gamzee used an immense amount of psychic power, after becoming sober, to make the kids' session "terminal" by creating a harlequin doll missing an arm and an eye in John's dream self's room, causing a chain reaction of events. Kurloz also displays great psychic power, using it to command Meulin into serving himself, Gamzee, and presumably Caliborn. Kurloz has demonstrated the ability to engage in two-way telepathic communication possibly limited to eye contact , and what appears to be some sort of hypnotic gaze power.
Barzum and Baizli are very similar, can telepathically communicate with each other and share the same lusus and caste name.
They also originally had the silhouette of a single troll before they were revealed. Karako Pierot has been shown to have fear-inducing psychic powers.
Barzum and Baizli Soleil said that they are the best at chucklevoodoos, and use their powers to trick the player. Most of the purple blooded trolls are also highly violent and unpredictable, but it is only after Gamzee runs out of the narcotic sopor slime that his true purple blooded nature arises. However, some of the purplebloods shown in Hiveswap Friendsim defy this.
The Grand Highblood served as a subjugglator, and it was Gamzee's ultimate goal in life to eventually take up this position himself. As it is a median color between the blues and the sea-dwelling purples, it is fitting that Gamzee lives on a shoreline and has an aquatic lusus.
The only other lusus that is shown is a whale with purple blood, suggesting that most, if not all, purple blooded trolls have aquatic lusii , but live on land. That would also mean it's common for purple bloods to live on the coast shore, to be close to their lusii as they would be out of reach otherwise. Violet Blood is the second-highest color of blood in the hemospectrum and is the first of two that exclusively belongs to sea-dwelling trolls, which are noted for their ability to breathe underwater, fin-like protrusions from their neck, and collapsing and expanding bladder based aquatic vascular system which is merely a fancy term for the heart.
Violet-blooded trolls tend to be more violent than the others seeing as they are high on the hemospectrum, and express an extreme hatred towards the land-dwelling nobility.
They also tend to be affiliated with piracy and are considered a part of the aristocracy. Karkat calls this blood type "purple" once; this was before coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A came out, and the blood colors were not consistently named. Eridan and Dualscar were violent towards the land dwellers, and they both sought a kismesissitude with their generation's main cerulean blooded counterparts and a matespritship with their fuchsia blooded counterparts. Cronus, the only known Beforan violet blood, does not display the same violence towards land dwellers as the others, as it was not the norm in the peaceful culture of Beforus.
Violetbloods are permitted to do just about anything on Alternia, and have very little restrictions in society, since they are considered royalty. They may publish anything in magazines that they want, whether it be harsh criticisms or what they had for lunch that day. Some Violetbloods residing in the ocean have been mentioned in Hiveswap Friendsim to wear swimsuits, while other Violetbloods in backgrounds on land, as well as Eridan and Cronus , wear more typical clothes.
Fuchsia Blood is the highest and rarest color of blood in the hemospectrum. Like their violet blooded comrades, they are sea dwellers and are considered royalty. Fuchsia blood is so rare that those who possess it are destined to be the sovereign of all trollkind. All Fuchsia trolls seen so far appear to have the same horn shape, though it is unknown if every Fuchsia troll has this or if there are other horn variations for this caste.
Only two trolls at any time have this blood color, an older one serving as the Empress of the trolls and a younger one known as the heiress to the Alternian throne; this is due to the Condesce killing her descendants once they've come of age. Prior to this, an Heiress may enforce an unknown but extensive amount of control over the home planet; the Heiress of the Hiveswap time period, Trizza Tethis , actively enforced a strict authoritarian rule, whereas Feferi favored a more hands-off approach.
Both the Empress and the Heiress are linked to the same lusus, Gl'bgolyb , known as "The Rift's Carbuncle", "Emissary to the Horrorterrors" and "Speaker of the Vast Glub", who compels the younger troll to challenge the older for control of the throne. Gl'bgolyb must be kept quiet by the fuchsia blooded troll, as Gl'bgolyb's voice is capable of killing trolls in ascending strengths and numbers depending on how loud it is, with the lower castes susceptible to anything above a whisper, to the devastating Vast Glub which kills all trolls in the universe save for the two fuchsia bloods.
Feferi and the Condesce are the only two fuchsia blooded trolls alive during the events of Homestuck , with the Condesce serving as Empress of Alternia off-planet leading the conquering forces, and Feferi staying on Alternia to tend to Gl'bgolyb. Because the Condesce is far away from Alternia, her psychic connection to Gl'bgolyb is severely weakened; as such, Gl'bgolyb's allegiance sways to Feferi.
As a member of the top blood caste, the Condesce is given a much longer lifespan. She also has the ability to extend the lifespans of others , but it is unclear if this is related to her blood color or her pre-scratch self having been a Hero of Life. Due to the events of Sgrub, neither the Condesce nor Feferi are capable of preventing Gl'bgolyb from releasing the Vast Glub, killing all trolls in the universe save for the Condesce, Feferi, the Handmaid whose meteor lands in the future rather than the past , and the Sgrub players who manage to escape into the Incipisphere. Meenah, being the pre-scratch version of the Condesce, also has fuchsia blood, but she rejected the throne as it meant serving the entirety of Beforus rather than ruling over them with an iron fist.
It should also be noted that another lusus with what appears to be fuchsia blood is fed to Gl'bgolyb. Whether or not this is evidence of other possible trolls with fuchsia blood is unclear. Cherubs have a binary blood color system that is unrelated to that of trolls, although it does bear a few similarities and may have symbolic connections to aspects of the troll hemospectrum.
Cherubs may have either candy red or lime blood, which reflect their moral alignment; malevolent cherubs have red blood, whereas benevolent cherubs have green blood. The choice of these colors may have significance relating to the troll Hemospectrum. Lime blood is the blood color of the troll limeblood caste, which on Alternia had been entirely wiped out.
Before Calliope revealed that she was a Cherub instead of a troll, she masqueraded as a lime-blooded troll. Interestingly, the other cherub blood color, candy red, is the same as that of the mutant Vantas trolls. Karkat and the other Vantas trolls wear a symbol that appears in the zodiac order in the same place as lime blood should appear in the Hemospectrum, and in the extended zodiac this symbol True Cancer is regarded as a lime sign.
Some have theorized due to the place of the Vantases in the zodiac that their mutant candy red blood may in fact be mutated lime blood; the fact that candy red and lime blood are the two binary blood colors of the cherubs may further reinforce the idea of a duality between candy red and lime.
