Personality: Once upon a time there was the chillest motherfucking troll you could ever meet. Everything was sparkles and rainbows and miracles and life was beautiful. Life was miracles man, they were all over the place. So long as you believed, they were right there in front of you being awesome. No matter what was said to him, no matter what happened, no matter that he was all by himself and ignored or insulted, everything was chill. Because everything was just so awesome in the world and it was perfect in his eyes. His lusus was never there for him, but he would believe and be optimistic that he would come home soon. His friends insulted him and hardly ever wanted to put up with him at times, but it was all cool because they weren't serious. Even the little imps were chill, slammin pies and the wicked elixer with him and just chillin. Motherfucking miracles man. It was most of his life spent this way, completely serene and oblivious to all the bad shit around him thanks to the intoxication of his sopor pies distorting his mind and keeping him high as a kite. He was a pushover to the extreme, always letting anyone say or do anything with little to no protest and just laughing it off after. For that time, he was probably the nicest guy you could meet.
But then there were no more pies. The miracles were shown to be a lie, everything he believed in was falling down around him. And without the pies, came the clarity. He had been poisoning himself. Poisoning himself the whole time, and his "friends" were just letting him do it. And shit got real.
The most obvious aspect of Gamzee's personality is his mental instability thanks to coming down from his life long high. He's overcome with emotions he never realized that he had and not sure what to do with them all. Everything he believed in was shattered with one shitty youtube video and made him question his own faith, the one thing he lived by more than anything else. And worst of all it made him question his own path in life and what he was entitled to by blood. Through all of the confusion and rage he came to the conclusion that he was both the mirthful messiahs and it was his job to kill everyone and use their blood as his paint and their bones as his special stardust. Though in reality even he knows that it's more of an early mid-life crisis issue and he just wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with himself or even believe in. Though Karkat managed to subdue most of this aspect with shoosh paps and becoming his moirail, it's still obvious that Gamzee's not all that stable as he continues to collect the dead bodies of his friends and even goes as far as bottling their blood to sell as bogus potions.
Gamzee is calm most of the time, almost to a horrifying degree if he's in murder mode, but since sobering up he's no longer whimsical like before. He can silently observe and judge situations as he sees fit, sometimes with skewed logic and other times with spot on analysis. He's highly intelligent when it comes down to it, able to plan out a situation and manipulate people to do things for him when he knows he's unable to get away with them himself, as is shown when he toyed with Terezi in order to keep himself under cover while avoiding Kanaya. The reinstated laid back attitude is even more noticeable after the murder rage drains out of him as he seems to be in a constant state of relaxed despite the instability still being present. Though his way of speaking still matches his text, too quiet sometimes and too loud others, he manages to pull it off without sounding angry unless someone makes the wrong move.
Which one will never know if they might do or not, because as his trollian tag states he tends to be rather capricious no matter if he's high or sober. It's almost impossible to read his actions or even make sense of them, he does whatever he feels like at the time because that's just what feels right to him. Be it chilling out or going on a murder rage, he rarely questions his own actions despite questioning his religeous beliefs. And anyone who tried to question his actions would just get cryptic answers usually involving miracles, honking or him just laughing at them. There is no reason for anything, it's as simple as he does what he wants to do and what that happens to be is usually impossible to predict until he does it. In this aspect he can be dangerous, flipping his mood at the drop of a hat if one isn't careful around him, but at the same time able to go right back to being chill if he just decides to brush something off after scaring the shit out of someone. But at the same time he can be rather vengeful and uncaring of who it effects. Just because Dave ruined his religeon for him he went and made Dave's entire universe "terminal" by using his chucklevoodoo powers to fuck with their dreamselves and start the chain of events that lead to everyone being fucked over. Though even then he shows his capricious side as in that same conversation he admits that he likes Dave and is thankful to him for showing him the truth.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
Loyal; As of going sober, this really only applies to Karkat and maybe Tavros. Gamzee cares about those close to him and would even go as far as killing for them without any problem whatsoever. No matter how unpredictable he may be, if someone manages to get close enough for him to really care about them then he will do anything it takes to keep them safe.
Laid back; Most of the time nothing bothers him, he's chill and able to take things in stride no matter what's going on around him. This lets him keep a level head even with things might be going to shit, which is a good trait with how rare it is.
Weaknesses:
Unstable; Gamzee's mental condition is questionable at best, and without someone constantly keeping an eye on him there's no telling if and when he could snap and go psycho again.
Unpredictable; There's no way even allies could depend on him because he does shit when and if he feels like it, changing his mind at the drop of a hat even if it would put others in danger.
Apathetic; The bad part of being laid back is he honestly just doesn't care sometimes. Someone's about to be murdered? Not his problem, they probably brought it on themselves.
Basically, everything about Gamzee is a double edged sword. All of his good traits can be bad and all of his bad traits can be good, depending on his mood and the situation. It's in his nature to flip flop as he sees fit, so while being chill can be good in one situation it could cause someone their life in another. While being loyal is good for his friends, he doesn't care enough to make many friends in the first place so that alone is limited. And even then, that loyalty can turn dangerous if his unstable mind decides that something is bad for one of his friends when it's really not something they would want him to step in on.

Third Person Sample: Gamzee had no idea what he had just eaten, but the only complaint from him about it was that there just wasn't enough. He had managed to catch one of those birds, and thanks to lil Solsis, but unfortunately when the subject of eating said bird came up the lil sis apparently flipped some shit and dived into his bag to pull out that weird looking box. Why the hell did humans even put food in boxes like that anyways? How was someone supposed to know what it was meant to be when it looks like some weird decoration? Luckily any wandering thoughts of eating the bird anyways were wiped from his mind by a distraction.
That little green blob was staring at the yellow on his shirt curiously, getting close enough to sniff it but being confused at the odd smell. The realization hit him then, and the laugh that followed startled Solosis and made the poor thing tumble backwards.
"Shiiit man.... Can you see the motherfucking IRONY all up in this bitch? Got my Solsis here checking out the blood from my Solbro. Motherfucking psychic too. Just like my mustard blooded brother."
Solosis' look of curiosity turned immediately to panick at the mention of blood, only causing Gamzee to laugh harder.
"Don't all be like that. Don't be getting your little slime pusher all flipping the wicked shit. I didn't even kill that one. He up and motherfucking exploded on his own. Made a real mess of that putrid shit everywhere. Just got caught doing a little motherfucking cleaning up. And adding to my collection. HONK."
The little pokemon still looked mildly distressed, but Gamzee was sprawled back chuckling to himself and didn't seem to mean any harm so she relaxed. Once Gamzee's amusement finally faded, he gave his shirt a thoughtful look. The yellow really did look like a mess and the smell was kind of starting to annoy him. He rolled onto his stomach, not even really caring as Solosis made herself comfortable on his head between his horns, and started digging around in the bag he'd dragged with him. He knew he saw some sort of clothing in there and he was right, pulling it out and not even caring what it was. His horns protected Solosis from falling off when he removed his shirt and pulled on a fresh one, his pants next to join the pile of black and yellow on the ground. He gave no mind to the clinking noise from one of his pockets, shit he hadn't had time to captchalogue before ending up in this weird fucking place.
"Like someone all up and just motherfucking knew I'd be a mess of wicked ass miracles." A claw reached up to poke at Solosis, not too hard since he didn't know what the hell was holding all that slime in. "Just like they motherfucking knew I couldn't eat you. Not with that slime shit you all up and got as a body. Too many bad motherfucking memories. You might rot my thinkpan."
For a long while after that, Gamzee did nothing but sit there and stare at his pile of clothes with a blank expression on his face. But it wasn't the clothing he was seeing, not by far really. It was the body that had caused all that, the one meant to be added to his collection of heads. He hadn't had the time to form the face into the expression he had wanted when he first decapitated it, too busy collecting all that mustard shit into bottles of wicked bitchtits potions. He'd hadn't even stashed it away with the other ones, what if someone found it and did something stupid like throw it away? Not to mention he still had to grab up Spidersis's body and add it with the rest. So much motherfucking work gone to waste. Not like there was really anything to do about it, no use fixating all his thinkpan's capacity on something that he couldn't change. There was a world of motherfucking real life miracles at his fingers and he had to dip into that wicked shit and see what it has to offer.
By the time he had come out of his daze, Solosis was already napping on his head and the sun was setting. That was fine, he liked wandering at night better anyways. The sun kind of freaked him the fuck out earlier, but it was some weakass star that didn't hold a flame against the scorching Alternian sun so it wasn't so bad. He scooped up his clothes and stuffed them into the bag, not giving a single fuck if the dried blood got over the other stuff in there, and made his way back to the town. He remembered a water pool or something there and these new clothes were too uncomfortable to be used for longer than he had to. Cleaning wasn't something he liked doing, but it was that or be stuck with some weird fucking underwear that didn't even fit right.
