🗝Kankri Vantas🗝

Personality:   Kankri Vantas is a mutant blooded troll who lived on Beforus shortly before he and the rest of his session caused the Reckoning. He is the Seer of Blood and the dancestor of Karkat Vantas. Possibly around 19 years/9 solar sweeps Typing style Replaces B and O with 6 and 9, respectively. Perfect grammar otherwise. Relations The Signless / the Sufferer - Post-scratch self Karkat Vantas - Dancestor Music Iron Infidel ♫ Kankri's overbearing concern for "social justice" and the "triggers" of the people around him were inspired by the culture prevalent on microblogging platform Tumblr at the time, where much of Homestuck's readership was then based, which is more broadly parodied by Openbound's Bubblr gimmick. Kankri's rambling and cantankerous nature can also be seen as an exaggerated caricature of Karkat's negative traits and how they were perceived by readers on Tumblr at the time. His sense of dress also mirrors popular depictions of Karkat as wearing a thick sweater, with the leggings he wears underneath, like his post-scratch Righteous LeggingsHS, referencing the contemporary Pantskat meme. Like other trolls with his rare blood color, no sign was ever made for Kankri, so he wears none on his clothing. His quirk, however, does involve the sym69lsHS associated with the Signless after his execution; how Kankri came to use this quirk, given his distaste for the Signless' teachings, is not clear. The letters replaced by the symbols, B and O, are also the names given to some human blood types. Kankri borrows his title of Seer from Terezi Pyrope; Terezi's dancestor Latula Pyrope likewise borrows her Knight title from Kankri's dancestor Karkat. Etymology Kankri was a name suggested by Tyltalis for Karkat. Cancri is the Latin genitive singular form of cancer, used in the formation of star names in the Cancer constellation (e.g. Alpha Cancri, and the root of the words cancrine and cancriform, adjectives describing things pertaining to or resembling crabs or cancers. The name Kankri also phonetically resembles the word cranky, describing the overall demeanor of the Vantas family. Possibly due to his "culled" upbringing,[citation needed] Kankri is a naïve person, dismissing the necessarily violent methods he used to fight for social justice post-scratch.[citation needed] He is long-winded and self-righteous, speaking in extensive, jargon-filled diatribes and almost always with the intent of educating his conversational "partner" on something he feels they are ignorant of. To this end, he speaks of psychological triggers frequently and flippantly, apologizing profusely when he believes someone has been triggered, even if this is not the case.[citation needed] Despite this outward persona, he can just as easily be dismissive of the concerns of others when he deems them unimportant, calling Porrim's feminism This attitude earned Kankri the nickname "the Insufferable", playing with his post-scratch destiny as the Sufferer. This naïvety also makes him easily tricked, such as by Meenah. His "objective" facade is easily broken, and he is quick to anger, showing a loud personality much like his dancestor's and like what he demonstrated post-scratch as the Sufferer. He takes his own personal space very seriously, becoming agitated when too many ghosts enter the ministrife and begin to crowd around him.HS Kankri is celibate, seeking to abstain from any and all romantic relationships; he expresses surprise at finding that post-scratch, he broke this vow to be with Meulin, 9f all pe9ple. Relationships Porrim Maryam Porrim holds some fondness for Kankri, having kept him out of trouble in the early days of their Sgrub session, but she dislikes his lack of consideration for her discussions of gender politics. Regardless, she plays a motherly role toward him, mirroring the relationship between them post-scratch. Seemingly unlike the Signless, however, Kankri does not show appreciation for Porrim's treatment of him; on Beforus, his rebellious nature manifests as teenage rebellion against his mother figure, and so much as an attempt from Porrim to clean a spot from his face can put him into a rage. Porrim made Kankri his red sweater, to keep him warm and to hide his righteous leggings which she hated seeing. Mituna Captor Kankri seems to dislike Mituna, and deems his crude nature and need for protective headgear an ableist stereotype of disabled people.[citation needed] However Kankri still attempts to defends him from ableist remarks from Meenah.
