History Characters / HomestuckTrollsThree

* DoggedNiceGuy: Overall, Eridan zigzags this trope. He tried to be this for Feferi during their time as a moiraillegiance, and in regards to most of his friends he actually was this prior to his FreakOut. When push comes to shove, he is more often a NiceGuy than not. However, he also was initially antagonistic towards land-dwellers. His paranoia became more rampant, which led to him thinking there was no hope left in his session. Nevertheless, he shows remorse after everything is said and done.

* EasilyForgiven: Zigzagged. Terezi cites that Eridan's actions were especially heinous and therefore should not be given a chance at rebirth (opting instead for Feferi and Nepeta to be sprites due to both being victims). Vriska acknowledges that it was wrong, but also chalks it up to a mistake, as she had similarly killed someone and was saved from death due to timely intervention. It's implied to be played straight with Feferi, who seemingly forgives him both as Fefetasprite and in the Post-Retcon timeline.

** Oh, ''and'' Terezi doesn't want to auspistice between him and Sollux, Karkat wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole, ''Equius'' is made uncomfortable by his advances (though in which quadrant, it's not specified), Sollux is uninterested and dismissive of his black flirtations and his own client player Nepeta spectacularly failed to fall in love with him for saving her life in the same way Feferi did with Sollux.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Caliborn's [[MoreDakka initial treatment]] of Gamzee is meant to showcase just how much of a {{Jerkass}} he is, though it's undercut somewhat since Gamzee [[LaserGuidedKarma had it coming for screwing some of his friends over]].

* StrongButUnskilled: In terms of combat, Equius relies wholly on his own strength to demolish something, something that is helped by the fact he cannot wield the weapon he wishes to. Which contrasts with Nepeta, who is WeakButSkilled.

* ArcherArchetype: In keeping with the Sagittarius theme, considers the bow a dignified weapon of the upper classes. He even begins every line with a symbolic bow and arrow: D -->. He's actually terrible at archery, though, to the point where he's never successfully fired an arrow. Fittingly, he's not that good at keeping up his composed facade when under pressure.

* PerpetualFrowner: He is the only one out of the main trolls to not be seen smiling.
