Cherubs are a race of aliens, first introduced as a concept on this page, then described on this page. Known cherubs include Calliope, Caliborn and Lrd English (who are technically all the same physical being), as well as Calliope and Caliborn's parents.
Cherubs have the appearance of green-skinned humanoids with skull-like heads, with spiral patterns on their cheeks that appear to reflect their blood color, and dark areas under their eyes similar to that of the trolls. They also have claw-like hands, sharp teeth and forked tongues that likely change color based on which personality is in control. They also apparently have exoskeletons. The only physical differentiation between the two personalities is the coloration of their cheek swirls (and eye color, though this is not mentioned by Aranea when describing the cherubs here, but is present in the character models of Caliborn and Calliope), which indicates alignment. There is otherwise no way to tell the male and female halves apart before a cherub predominates.
There now remain only two chapters left in the story: Act 6 Act 6 and Act 7. However, Andrew Hussie has announced that, in order to ensure that the Homestuck Adventure Game is released on time, he will be taking a multi-month break from the comic to focus on writing and planning for the game.
