Personality:
Equius is a noble in the oldest sense of the word. Though he considers it a duty of sorts to shepherd and help those weaker than himself or of lower class, he has a definite sense of arrogance about his own standing in the social hierarchy. He's very protective of those close to him, particularly Nepeta, but in a way that makes it very clear he believes that he knows best. Deviation from what he considers the expected behavior of those above or below him confuses and flusters him to the point of fetishizing such variances in behavior. Being commanded in particular, by one above or below him on the Trolls' hemospectrum, fascinates him to an uncomfortable degree. He has little patience for what he deems “foolishness”, and only plays games he considers to have suitably high stakes. At least once, however, he does loosen up enough to roleplay with Nepeta when they were alone. Over the course of the trolls' session, he seems to grow more tolerant to the presence of the lower-class trolls, even accepting Karkat's authority as leader. Perhaps his single greatest flaw is his temper – as a blue-blooded troll, Equius is prone to fits of sweaty anger. He generally calms down by either breaking something, getting someone to break something by proxy, or, quite often, by vigorously toweling off and talking with Nepeta.

His chief pursuit (aside from a habitual breaking of archery bows) is maintaining his physical condition and strength. A large part of this pursuit has lead Equius to be a skilled roboticist; he builds numerous fighting robots which he then fights to the death in cage matches to vent his blue-blooded rage. Equius' technological skill was also great enough that he built cybernetic prosthesis for Vriska and Tavros, as well as a fully robotic body for Aradia Megido. On rare occasions he dabbles in slam poetry, which he considers one of troll society's more cultured arts. These poems are, however, largely about his own borderline-fetishitic fascinations and are thus usually considered only roughly above Vogon poetry by those hearing them. While on Alternia, he also collected nude musclebeast portraits, which were similarly considered to be both highly cultured and exceedingly disturbing. Equius was also apparently something of a vegetarian, an oddity among trolls; at the very least, he objected to the pointless killing of wildlife. Despite his own perversions and idiosyncrasies Equius was, ultimately, largely harmless to everyone that wasn't an RPG-style monster. His eventual death was the result of both his need to be commanded and his refusal to use violence as a first resort against another troll.
