What is the order of how Lil Cal was passed over? I know he was made as Doc Scratch's ecto son but how did he get passed to the other characters in Homestuck?
Here’s how it works.
- Gamzee made Lil’Cal in Dave’s Dream Room using chucklevoodoo
- Lil’ Cal is sent to the ectobiology lab via Bro’s board.
- Baby Bro/Dirk is sent with Lil’ Cal
ALPHA
- Lil’ Cal lives with Dirk
- Lil’ Cal is dropped in the ocean
- Caliborn finds Lil’ Cal in the future
BETA
- Lil’ Cal grows with Bro
- Lil’ Cal is cut up by Dave
- Lil’ Cal is stitched up by Bro
- Lil’ Cal fights against Bec Noir with Bro
- Lil’ Cal is taken by Bec Noir
- Bec Noir eventually enters the troll session
- Lil’ Cal is thrown into a time portal transporting him into the past
- Lil’ Cal is found by an alive Aradia
- She gives him to Sollux
- Sollux gives him to Kanaya
- Kanaya makes Lil’ Cal a felt suit
- Sn8wman through ectobiology uses Lil’ Cal and a Cue Ball to create Doc Scratch
- Kanaya eventually gives Cal to Gamzee
- Gamzee creates Lil’ Cal
- Gamzee sends Cal to B2 Jack, turning him into Jack English
There ya go.

In this walkthrough with Meenah, she refers to herself and her friends as the alpha trolls when talking with Aranea for the first time.
Ah yes thank you, I was just about to look that up.

I’ve gotten a few asks refering to Kurloz and the rest of the dancestors as the “Alpha Trolls”. Now, they aren’t really the Alpha trolls. Let me explain you a thing.
Karkat and his group of trolls are technically the Alpha trolls since they survive into the alpha timeline, but they are called the Beta trolls because they interact with the Beta kids. Got it?
The Beta kids are called the Beta kids because they played the Sburb Beta. The Alpha kids are called the Alpha kids because they played/ are playing the Sburb Alpha. Just check the poster in John/Jane’s room.
To avoid confusion, instead of using beta and alpha use pre-scratch and post-scratch.
- Pre-scratch kids: John, Rose, Dave, Jade
- Pre-scratch trolls: Kankri, Meenah, Aranea, etc..
- Post-scratch kids: Dirk, Roxy, Jake, Jane
- Post-scratch trolls: Karkat, Equius, Terezi, etc…
