In Homestuck, along side the Classpects and Signs are the corresponding Blood Colors for the alien species known as Trolls in the webcomic. The Extended Zodiac cites these as “Sign Classes”. The caste system of the blood colors is known as The Hemospectrum.

We’ll work from the top down for this, looking at the spectrum and where the Rogues fall along it. Source for the short descriptions of the blood colors and their role are from Here.

Fuchsia:

Fuchsia bloods are the highest ranking of the trolls, the ones that rule over troll society, and are one of the two types that are sea trolls. It’s uncertain on just what powers Fuchsia bloods possess, though they may have the power to extend other troll’s life spans and gain the powers of the lower castes as well. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Selina

Violet:

Violet bloods are the second highest ranking in troll society, being the second type of sea troll. They serve as the aristocracy whereas Fuchsia bloods are royalty. There are no known powers that Violet bloods possess. None of the rogues that we’ve done for this series for fit into this category.

Purple:

Purple bloods are the highest ranking of the land trolls, but still below the Violet bloods on the overall spectrum. They too are aristocracy and work to enforce the Fuchsia bloods rule. Powers that Purple bloods have include telepathy, implanting objects in others’ dreams, and mind control through eye contact. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Kirk

Indigo:

Indigo bloods are the second highest ranking of the land trolls and serve a sort of militaristic role within the troll society. Those with Indigo blood make up the higher tier of Bluebloods. There are no known powers of Indigo bloods, but they all seem to have a knack for robotics. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Jervis

Blue/Cerulean:

Blue, or Cerulean bloods are a step below the Indigo bloods and are the lower tier of bluebloods. It’s worth noting that a handful of Cerulean bloods have extremely powerful mind control powers, which allow them to control other trolls lower on the spectrum from nearly any distance. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Jonathan

Teal:

Teal bloods are just beneath the nobility, though they are still considered high ranking, and civil servants. While being civil servants, they also act as a “legislacerator”, which is “a combination lawyer and bounty hunter who captures and prosecutes threats” to the hierarchy. They have no known powers/ Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Harvey

Jade:

Jade bloods are the caretakers in troll society, taking on the role of tending to the mother grubs and the eggs that which all trolls hatch from. They are seemingly the only trolls that can stand sunlight, and may become “rainbow drinkers” which is basically the troll equivalent of a vampire, having the craving of other trolls’ blood. They can also heal from injuries and glow, which they eventually may learn to control. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Poison Ivy

Olive:

Olive bloods are apart of the middle class in troll society and they have the ability to join the army along with the other castes. They have no known powers. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Oswald

Lime:

Little is known about the Lime bloods as none appeared in the webcomic. It is implied that all the Lime bloods were killed as their psychic abilities were strong enough to disrupt troll society. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Harley

Yellow/Gold: 

Yellow, or Gold bloods are considered one of the castes that make up the underclass in troll society. A few of the Yellow bloods may have powerful psychic abilities. They also have the ability of telekinesis, eye beams (think Cyclops from X-Men, but they can control and use it at will), and sending bees to sleep (yes you read that correctly), to name a few. Those out of the rogues that would be in this caste are:

Edward

 Bronze:

Bronze bloods are the second lowest on the spectrum, acting as the lower part of the underclass and can be soldiers. They have the ability to communicate and control animals. None of the rogues we’ve done for this series fit into this category.

Burgundy/Rust:

Burgundy, or Rust signs are the lowest on the spectrum and therefore the lowest rung of the underclass. They are viewed as disposable by the other castes and have the shortest natural lifespans. They do seem to have a semblance of power however. Several Burgundy/Rust bloods working together can move whole planets via telekinesis, and while in canon it’s only unique to Aradia, it may be possible for them to communicate with the dead. Those out of the rouges that would be in this caste are:

Joker (as he should be /hj)
