Game Summary: Jarjammed was a panfandom jamjar game based around the premise of Homestuck. Characters were pulled in from the multiverse into a game, and then given planets, game titles, powers, and quests. By beating this game they would then create an entirely new universe. If they refused, their home planet would be destroyed by meteors.

How long was your character in Game: Four months.
History of Character in their Game:
The Human Gamzee was brought into the game of Sburb when he played a game disk he received on his laptop. He was then brought into Sburb's world by Repilca Riku without too much hassle on his part (though some mental scarring on Replica Riku's when he saw the naked beach just outside Gamzee's home). Gamzee then in turn, helped to bring in detective Dick Gumshoe. He arrived on a planet made just for him, the Land of Paint and Dandelions, full to the brim with rainbows, water, sloth consorts, and of course, dandelions. When he finally thought to check in and make a memo, wanting human comfort, he was noticed and "recruited" by an older alternate of himself (an alien called a troll) and Mary Katherine to join the "Indigos" a group of indigo trolls and like-minded humans. The Indigos were known for their clown cultism and their terrifying, violent behavior, the leader of this being the Grand Highblood, an alternate version of the human Gamzee's Gramps. He was told to wait for the Highblood's approval as well as his alternate's and when time came he would be allowed to meet them all.
 
In the meantime, the human Karkat, his Karkat, came to see him. The reunion was touching for both sides even when it was only Karkat who'd been there for so long. Karkat introduced him to Theopholous Dumedd and Sleipnir Ohara when they had a picnic of face painting and getting extremely drunk and high. The two lived with he and Karkat since then and they quickly grew to be a closely-knit crew. He was also introduced to the troll versions of some of his family (The Signless, The Disciple, The Psiioniic, Redglare), and his crush Tavros Nitram. After Redglare and the human Gamzee talked, she warned him in a pester (an in-game chat client) that his alternate Gramps, The Grand Highblood, was not a good person and she explained some of what was involved in the why of that. He thanked her for this info but insisted he would neither stop caring for the GH or her, even though telling the GH of his talking to her would've angered him.
 
Not long after, the Horror Terrors, tentacled chthulu gods of Derse (all players had a second life, a dream self, on either Prospit or Derse) and the outer ring took Sollux Captor (another troll version of someone Gamzee had known) and held him for ransom of other players. The Human Karkat, thinking himself a worthless extra, and not being able to see even an alternate of their friend in such a situation, attempted to offer himself up to the squids, causing the human Gamzee to immediately storm after Karkat and yell at him like he's never yelled before. Then when Sleipnir arrived to do the same thing, Gamzee attempted to hide his friend, even going so far as glitter bombing her in the face earning him a scolding as well. While this descended into the three of them hugging things were far from in the clear for as this went on Redglare had offered her dreamself up instead. Gamzee went to see her after finding out and at first was furious with her for having done such a thing but eventually a sort of understanding was reached and their friendship truly started to take formation.
 
The human Gamzee met his troll self when he came to visit, this meeting going well until the troll Gamzee found pictures of the human Gamzee's family and the troll Gamzee, unable to process the thought of seeing people who'd normally be tearing each other apart, all standing together happily, then fled before he did something he regretted. Eventually, the Human Gamzee was brought around by the troll Gamzee to meet the Highblood. Seeing the troll version of his Gramps was something the Human Gamzee would never forget, a mix of terror and awe and longing all awash him. He had to pretend for the Highblood he didn't care as much as he did, while also hoping the Highblood liked him enough not to kill him. Indeed, he made it back alive, but the Human Gamzee never was called back to see his troll Gramps. Gamzee kept silent about his hurt and disappointment about that.
 
He distracted himself with things like going to Kanaya's (another troll alternate of family) fashion party, learning to be a little better about science thanks to Redglare and being shown her dragon lusus in flight, and baking up an enormous pile of baked goods, near half with weed baked into them. He talked with friends like the Replika Riku, and the Troll Tavros-- who Gamzee realized he still liked in the way he did the human one, whom he was dating back home. Unsure how to deal with this crush, he consulted Karkat, who comforted him for a while until he mentioned that "they might not be going home" at which point Gamzee shoved him off and snapped at him. He discovered his game power, the manipulation of fear, and was then dosed with a bit of Karkat's "Calm" power to keep him from snapping too hard. The two quickly went back to comforting each other again. Later, with Tavros still on his mind, Gamzee would also try to contact Bobby Singer, who'd once been in a wheelchair, to see if he could find out how to help heal his own Tavros's legs. Of course, this only led to him finding out that Bobby's legs were only healed because he sold his soul and Gamzee knew he wouldn't be able to do that to Tavros.
 
As more and more players began to face their Denizens (the end game bosses suited to each player) Gamzee found himself helping out with Theo's, Cassandra's and Signless's Denizens. Signless's Denizen, the great snake Nahash, cast terrible illusions on everyone, temporarily changing the look of Gamzee's outer form to something that rubbed his faith wrong as well as making him face illusions of his Best Friend, Karkat, trying to kill him for "being unable to fulfill his godly duties and protect him" and Redglare who taunted him with some of the terrible things his troll self and troll Gramps had done, that he was likely to become the same, and that even then they'd never except or love him. He was driven to the point of head-butting her and punching her in the face, before running off. He contacted the real Redglare later, distressed and battered, trying to choke out apologies and ask if she hated him which she reconciled with assurance that she was fine.
 
He would also have to help Tavros who found himself injured and trapped. This proved especially wearing on Gamzee, having to watch again as a Tavros he knew had his legs mangled.  Thankfully, they were able to save him and Theo helped to build the troll Tavros new legs. His crush on Tavros however only sunk in deeper.
 
He did find some joy though in that he was flower girl clown at Sleipnir and Theo's in-game wedding. As well, he had Sleipnir and Theo help him build a present for Redglare, an electronic hovering surf board (like in the movie Treasure Planet) that she could use for transportation between player planets. He grew closer with all of them.
 
When Glados began to attack other players, preforming deadly "tests" on them, and other players set out to shut her down, he helped console Karkat as well, who had an unfortunate case of mother issues with her, due to events prior to Gamzee's arrival. In this same time, they talked about Karkat's loss of the Iron Giant and Gamzee admitted own guilt on not having essentially killed himself to become the god(dess) he believed he would turn into on his death and therefore be able to fix everything. Karkat yelled at him for even considering such an idea and made Gamzee promise to stay human for him.
 
He was kidnapped for a while by Vladik Vathek (another troll) and was placed under a mind control of sorts but was quickly rescued without much trauma. More along the trauma line, the human Gamzee had to face one more round of someone having mangled legs, though at least this time it hadn't been Tavros, he decided to sit out for watching Jay have his legs cut off and replaced. Instead, he waited outside, got extremely high, and discussed the what ifs of pie people with Bertie and Ienzo until Ammond came out to inform them it was mostly over.
 
After a week or so of peace, the Human Karkat was possessed by the Horror Terrors while Sleipnir was out. They used Karkat's Calm powers on Theo rendering him more or less incapacitated, unable to function without what was called his "spark". Gamzee then tried to stop the possessed Karkat himself, tackling him and demanding the Horror Terrors give Karkat back. Gamzee was then pinned and using a set of scalpels, the Horror Terrors cut up his face. Gamzee in turn, trying to knock the scalpels away, ended up nicking Karkat's cheek.  In their tussle several things were smashed and knocked over including a varieties of chemicals which then set of an explosion in the basement right underneath where Gamzee's Gramps kept the (illegal) drug cabinet. The drugs exploded too. Gamzee was distressed.
 
In his distraction, the Horror Terror possessed Karkat tried to make a run for it only to be stopped by Sleipnir showing up just in time to whack him on the head and knock him out. Sleipnir did her best to help the three boys and Usagi too came to perform some healing on them. When she asked if he wanted his scars healed Gamzee declined as his trollself had scars not much unlike his and the human Gamzee wanted to look like his "big brother". Shortly after this debacle Madame Eyes ended up moving in as well. Murai too moved in some point after.
 
Karkat, having been possessed,  at least had gained some knowledge as to what next it was they, the players, would have to do. Together with he, Theo, Sleipnir, Legion, Signless, and the troll Karkat, once the alchemical process of making the baby bunnies was complete (something required for the game), Gamzee helped to care for the bunnies until their send off. With the guitar he hated on his back, stuck in an uncomfortable lab full of science, Gamzee painted bunny faces and sang to them the same lullaby his Gramps had sung to him. It was after the bunnies were sent that Gamzee found out the Highblood, his alternate Gramps, had disappeared from the game. Gamzee flipped out completely, rage and anguish overpowering him. He'd be comforted over the course of next day or so by many of those close to hi, including Theo, Redglare, the troll Gamzee, Karkat, and Murai, all each bringing their own senses of understanding to his issues. It was what kept him from losing it entirely.
 
The player base was then forced into battle with black queen (one of the full-game end-game bosses). Gamzee took much of his fury and aggression out on beating her-- even tag-team fighting with Theo-- and took a fair bit of damage in return. He ended up by the Troll Tavros, who'd been sitting back for healing. The Troll Tavros insisted that he had to stay back and that he had to promise not to die. Although Gamzee wanted to continue fighting, still to wound up and angry from all that had happened in the past while, his crush on Tavros won out and he agreed to try. 
 
Then Tavros was killed in battle. Gamzee, distraught, kissed his corpse (a means of reviving players if they had a dream self remaining, though Gamzee may have had other motives along with that) then went up with Sleipnir in a Helicopter they were using in the battle. But soon they too were caught. They wound up in a position where they would have no choice but to crash the copter likely taking them out with it. And so, attempting to escape complete obliteration, they jumped out together at the last moment, taking only the brunt of only some of the helicopter's explosion and falling to the ground. The human Karkat kissed them both on their deaths, reviving them as their dreamselves--only for them to find themselves trapped, each in their own tiny Prospitan jail cell. Gamzee took this horribly and immediately began firing off his fear powers, smashing himself bloody and bruised against the walls, and screaming, until he was eventually rescued.
 
With many of the other players Gamzee found himself in Cassandra's castle while they hid from Prospitan warriors. Although Tavros was back, Gamzee learned that Madame Eyes had been killed permanently. There was debating among the players what to do next. Gamzee had been in favor of running off to fight, too impatient and hurt to think to do anything else. However, the human Karkat and Murai both reasoned with Gamzee as best they could and for them he grudgingly stayed with the group. When the castle was attacked the group relocated the Veil, the labs in which Gamzee had helped look after the bunnies. There it was found they would be able to watch memories of their and other people's past. Gamzee took the chance to mourn his family, the beliefs he held never coming true, his Tavros, the Grand Highblood, and most of all, his Gramps. He took pictures of both his Gramps and The Highblood, each with their respective Gamzees. He tried his best to console himself with it all.
 
However, finally, he was presented with a "choice". He could go home, but if he did so, he'd have no choice but to use Poppy's (the bunny girl who'd brought them all in in the first place) computer to delete every NPC in game, the Dersites, the Prospitans, the consorts, and denizens. Or he could move on to the new universe they'd created, but in doing so, disappear from his home forever from the time a year before when the human Karkat had been pulled and he'd never get to go back. The temptation to kill the NPC had been strong but in the end, with his faith condemning such a thing, and especially with Karkat swearing to never forgive him if he did, as well as the other players refusing to let such a thing happen, Gamzee really had no choice at all. With the other players by him, he walked through the door to the new world humming a quiet rap, as he'd thought once he'd lead his true people to a new aeon to the beat of a rap's tune.

How did they change from their canon personality wise (Please explain what caused it to happen?) An eternal optimist and surprisingly stubborn, at least when it came down to his beliefs, Gamzee didn't change all too much, not until by the end when all he'd held at bay fell on him at once. He had spent much of his time in Sburb firmly in denial; that he wouldn't be going home, that he would never fulfil the duty which had been lain out to him from birth (lead the people into a new aeon as their god(dess),  that certain alternate version of people he once knew weren't as 'good' as he thought, and most of all, that he would never see certain members of his family again. 

He kept up a cheery, unaffected demeanor, until put in situations where he'd have no choice but to face these problems, at which point his anger would come out in force. This happened when Karkat told him he'd be unable to go home, when Karkat and other people attempted to offer themselves up to the Horror Terrors, and then later, Redglare was successful, and also when he faced visions granted by Nahash, the Signless's denizen, who tested his faith in his religion and the other "indigos" (his alternate self and alternate Gramps).
 
Still, he stayed mostly firm in his belief and held onto his hope through meeting the alien version of his Gramps-- a murderous tyrant priest called the Grand Highblood-- and then else all else that came after (as mention above). Even when he never got to see the Highblood again after their first meeting. It wasn't until the Highblood disappeared, his last "real" connection to his Gramps in his mind, did Gamzee realize he might not get to go home. He believed himself to have failed as a god, abandoned and doomed his followers and family, if losing them alone hadn't been enough, and so his faith cracked and with it his mask of clam. His bitterness and anger came out in full force, making him moody, prone to violent reaction (and desires) and much more difficult for others to deal with. He took to hiding from his friends a bit so as to avoid their disapproval and to mourn alone, becoming more closed off in the process. 
 
This only worsened when, just as he'd begun to accept his situation, he was presented with the "choice" to go home after all-- at the cost of deleting all NPC from the game, essentially killing them. Choosing between damning his family and never going home to them, or committing a genocide on the characters of the game he was trapped in, sent him right back to where he started. Inevitably, as the rest of the players would never have allowed him to do such a thing as commit a genocide, especially not his friends, he had to reconcile with himself what he would be doing to those at home all over again. At the moment he walks through the door to the next universe, he'll be just short of a meltdown. 
 
It also didn't help that, since his entirely life in his world from his entry point, to the year before when his best friend entered, has been entirely erased from existence, on top of simply disappearing. So he's aware that his crush and boyfriend, the human Tavros, who he was in enormous puppy-love in, will never have actually gotten together with him let alone know Gamzee adored him. So he's quite heartbroken in that way too. 
 
He also, thanks to his time being trapped in a tiny Prospit prison immediately after dying (in a time when he was already in his state of violent excessive reaction), has gained just the slightest bit of claustrophobia. 
 
And, although he still is far from fond of anything science, he's reached a point of tolerance regarding it, so long as it's done outside his presence and this is isn't forced on him. This is due to him being close with Theo, Karkat, and Sleipnir, all users and performers of science.
 
How did they change from their canon physically (Please explain what caused it to happen?): Gamzee gained three scars across his face whilst in Jarjammed. His best friend, Karkat, had been possessed by Horror Terrors-- godly chthulu tentacle monsters-- and to try to keep Karkat from doing anything, Gamzee tackled him and attempted to pin him. The Possessed Karkat then used a set of surgical knives to cut three lines down Gamzee's face. Later, Gamzee became so fond of the marks that matched his alternate self's, he insisted that no one heal them. These carried over to his dreamself (a second life in "Sburb") so that even after dying and being revived he kept them.
Powers:  Although originally, Gamzee had no powers at all, Sburb granted him the title of Mare of Psyche, which meant he had the power to inflict fear and terrible nightmares on another person's psyche. He had potential to one day do this in reverse-- relieve a person's psyche of fear and nightmares-- as well as make his powers be many times worse,  but he never quite managed to get to that level.
