Trolls, blood castes and classpects, explained
Blood color decides where a troll stands on Alternia, and the classpect decides what they do once the game starts. Pick one of each and the rest of the OC falls into place.

Trolls
The alien species of Alternia, introduced in the fifth act. Trolls have grey skin, black hair and lips, yellow eyes and candy-corn horns, and each one is raised by a lusus, a custodian beast. Young trolls in the comic have a six-letter first name and a six-letter last name, like Karkat Vantas.

The hemospectrum
Troll society is a caste system ranked by blood color: rust at the bottom, then bronze, gold, lime, olive, jade, teal, cerulean, indigo, purple, violet and fuchsia at the top. Low castes are the most likely to have psychic powers, high castes live far longer, and violet and fuchsia bloods are sea dwellers with fins on the sides of their faces.

Signs
Every troll wears a sign on their clothes in their own blood color. The comic's twelve trolls each use one of the twelve Western zodiac glyphs, and the Extended Zodiac from 2017 adds 24 signs per caste, built from blood color, dream moon and aspect. Give your OC an original shape and describe it in Extra details.

Typing quirks
Trolls chat with a typing quirk that gives them away in one line: Aradia types 0 for o, Vriska puts 8 in place of b, and Karkat types in all caps. A quirk often hints at the sign, the lusus or the mood, and many trolls also type in their blood color.

Classpects
Every Sburb player gets a title made of a class and an aspect: John Egbert is the Heir of Breath, Vriska Serket the Thief of Light. There are twelve classes, twelve aspects and two rare master classes, Lord and Muse. A player who reaches god tier gets a hooded outfit cut by their class and colored by their aspect.

Kids
The human players. The story opens in 2009 on John Egbert's thirteenth birthday, when he gets a beta copy of the game Sburb and his friends Rose, Dave and Jade join him in it. A kid OC needs a hobby, a favorite weapon and a reason to play.

Sprites
Every Sburb player releases a kernelsprite during setup, and whatever gets prototyped into it shapes the sprite's look and voice. Once it hatches it floats around as a ghostly guide with a tail instead of legs, so a sprite OC is defined by what went into it.

Carapacians
The chess-piece people of the two dream kingdoms: white carapacians live on golden Prospit, black ones on violet Derse, and their armies fight a war shaped like a game of chess. They range from small pawns to tall queens, which suits a soldier, a mail carrier or a royal OC.

How to make a Homestuck OC
Most fans who create a Homestuck character start with a troll, so these five steps show how to make a Homestuck troll from blood color to typing quirk. The Homestuck OC maker handles the drawing; these choices are worth making first.
- 1
Pick a blood color and let it shape the troll
Blood color decides where your troll stands on Alternia, how long they live and which powers fit. A mid-spectrum olive or jade blood is easy to write; fuchsia, a caste of only two trolls, and mutant candy red are the hardest to justify.
- 2
Give them a six-letter name pair
Young trolls in the comic have a six-letter first name and a six-letter last name, usually a little hard to pronounce. Use the name mixer below or count the letters yourself, then check the result against the canon trolls before you post.
- 3
Design horns and a sign nobody else has
Horns are the silhouette fans read first, so pick one clear shape. The sign goes on the shirt in the blood color; build it from simple parts like a crescent, a ring or a few lines instead of copying one of the zodiac glyphs from the comic.
- 4
Choose a classpect that causes trouble
Pick the aspect that matches what your troll cares about, then the class that decides how they use it. Check the title against canon players (John is the Heir of Breath, Vriska the Thief of Light) and leave Lord and Muse alone unless the story needs them.
- 5
Write a typing quirk you can read in one line
A good quirk ties back to the troll, like a curled tail for a playful one or a wrench for a mechanic, and stays readable after a full paragraph. Skip the famous ones (0 for o, 8 for b, all caps) and keep it to one or two rules.

Homestuck OC maker FAQ
Yes. A free account comes with credits, enough for several characters, and every image costs the same small number of credits after that. No card is needed to sign up.
A Homestuck picrew is a dress-up maker: you stack horns, shirts and signs one artist drew, so every troll shares the same pose and pieces. This Homestuck OC creator draws a new picture from your choices, so the horns, the sign and the outfit come out as your own. Think of it as a Homestuck character creator and troll generator that does the drawing for you.
Yes, it works as a Homestuck trollsona maker. A trollsona is the troll version of yourself, so pick the caste that fits your personality, horns you like and your own classpect if you know it, then write a typing quirk that sounds like you. Keep Plain as the background for a clean profile picture.
The hemospectrum runs from rust at the bottom through bronze, gold, lime, olive, jade, teal, cerulean, indigo, purple and violet to fuchsia at the top. Rust and gold bloods often have telekinesis, bronze bloods talk to animals, higher castes live far longer, and violet and fuchsia bloods are sea dwellers with fins. Lime bloods were hunted to extinction before the story and Karkat's candy red sits outside the spectrum, so treat those two as rare.
The Typing quirk ideas above work as a small Homestuck quirk generator: click one and it lands in the Typing quirk box, or write your own. A full Homestuck typing quirk generator that turns any text into your quirk is on the way.
Fan shorthand for a Sburb title: a class plus an aspect, like John's Heir of Breath or Vriska's Thief of Light. The comic has twelve classes (Heir, Seer, Knight, Witch, Maid, Page, Prince, Rogue, Thief, Sylph, Bard, Mage), two rare master classes (Lord and Muse) and twelve aspects. For a god tier look, write it in Extra details: the class shapes the hooded outfit and the aspect colors it.
Yes. Pick Kid for a human player of Sburb, so the page doubles as a Homestuck kid maker and human OC creator; John is 13 when the story starts, so give yours a hobby and a T-shirt with their own symbol. Pick Sprite and name what got prototyped into it, like a plush fox, to use it as a Homestuck sprite maker. Pick Carapacian for the chess-piece people of Prospit and Derse.
Give them one rare trait at most. The classic overload is mutant blood, a master class, a secret royal ancestor and every psychic power at once. A mid-caste troll with one strong talent, one real flaw and a quirk that shows their mood is easier to love.
Yes. The Background picker has Alternia under its pink and green moons, a troll respiteblock (the troll word for a bedroom) with a slime-filled recuperacoon, a kid's room, golden Prospit and purple Derse. Keep Plain for a clean profile picture or a ref sheet.
Every picture starts from the Homestuck look: flat colors, simple shapes and clean outlines. On top of that, Anime gives sharper fan-art faces, Chibi a tiny sticker version, Sketch a pencil look, and Semi-realistic or 3D a painted take on your troll.
Yes. Set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views with palette swatches. It works like a Homestuck OC template: the blood color, the sign and the horns stay readable from every angle.
Posting your OC in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. Homestuck belongs to Andrew Hussie and Homestuck Inc., so check their fan art rules before selling merchandise.
