History:
Karkat, throughout his life, would always get into fights because of him being bi-polar as well as having anger issues. He would usually push everyone away, and around age 7 he started to get into video games and computers around the same time he became friends with Sollux. Nothing really interesting happened in his life for a while, and nothing changed. He became more skilled with computers and video games, still loved to watch crappy movies, and was still best friends with Sollux. Apart from all the fights he got in, nothing really interesting happened. It wasn't until the start of high school, around the age of 15, that he became friends with Nepeta and Kanaya. It was also around this time that he developed a crush on Terezi, admiring her from afar.

On prom night, he took (either Terezi or Nepeta as his date...haven't figured out that specific. Need to ask.) to the prom, and when he went back home, he was taking Kanaya and Nepeta with him because they all lived so close to each other and the party was dying anyway. When they got to his house, there were multiple police cars in front of it. He had went to check, but wasn't allowed inside. He witnessed his mother and father being put into an ambulance in body bags, and he saw some of the inside of his house from where he was only able to go, seeing blood smeared all over the walls, on the door and the porch, and broken mirrors, pictures, tables, etc. His parents were murdered by an insane cult. As the cult was trying to rob the house, Karkat's parents were caught off guard and killed. Since his house was destroyed, and he didn't have a job of his own, he was eventually set out to the streets, as he also didn't want to live in the same place where his parents were brutally murdered. Too much of a painful reminder of their deaths.

Karkat never looked up to Kanaya as a motherly figure until after his parent's death. It was a couple months later, but at his 19th birthday, Gamzee took him in to live with him.

And there he is now..

No additional information as of now. Only that specifics will be completed within roleplays.
