- “Purple Signs are the workaholics of the sign classes. Ambitious and driven, they have a very specific path in mind to reach the pinnacle of their field, and will work tirelessly toward it. However, if their practical brains convince them that their goal is unrealistic, they may be slow to trust anyone with the secret of their true desires. They are often very funny, their wit veering toward the dryly macabre. Their fatalism can be incredibly humorous or terrible, depending who you ask. Purple Signs are usually the people who will say out loud what everyone else was thinking but was too nervous to mention. They are very stubborn, and once they've made up their mind about something, whether it be a restaurant choice or a political affiliation, it is difficult to change. They have trouble admitting they were mistaken, and also that they are upset. An oft-repeated phrase of the Purple Signs is, "It's fine, don't worry about it." They will let arguments fester rather than face them head on. In love they tend to be strictly monogamous and fiercely devoted, ready to pledge themselves to a person the same way they do their goals-utterly, and without reservation.”

Roles and culture[]
Purple bloods are referred to both as highbloods
and as subjugglators. The role the Highbloods serve is both religious, waging sectarian war against the Signless and continuing to oppose his followers after his death, and political, acting as the leaders of the land dwelling castes, self-governing but able to be influenced by Her Imperious Condescension thanks to the constant threat of her lusus. They were also responsible for the dispatching of legislacerators to deal with criminal elements, possibly until their confinement to courtblocks. The wearing of juggalo-like clown paint and practice of a strange clown-based religion are presumably connected with these roles.
The Highbloods were at least at one time led by a troll referred to as the Grand Highblood.
Physical attributes and abilities[]
The highest land dwelling caste, purple blood is a relative cool purple in comparison to the warmer-toned violet.
The “chucklevoodoos” are a common ability among subjugglators that allow them to psychically amplify fear, such as by manifesting puppets inside the dreams of targets. Kurloz Makara was able to use his chucklevoodoos to communicate psychically,[citation needed] while Barzum and Baizli Soleil could read each others' minds.[citation needed]
Most purple bloods have long, curved horns, often resembling those of a goat or other ungulate. Barzum and Baizli's horns are shorter than those of other known purple bloods, but still display the signature curve.
