Summary
Karkat is a troll, a mutant to be exact. Before the war, there was a use for mutants like him. But now that the war with the humans are long over, mutants have once again become a liability to the Queen. So he is thrown across the Border which connects between the two countries (Prospit and Derse). It is dangerous since humans and trolls alike still feel anger and hatred towards one another. Karkat can only hope that no human finds him, but of course with his luck, he gets the most annoying human of them all and worse of all he may develop feelings for this idiotic human!

Summary
It's been twenty years since the Alternian Empress was killed and her vast fleet decimated by the forces of Earth. All that remains of the trolls' civilization is the distant homeworld of Alternia, which is under blockade by a human peace-time "maintenance force."
Cut off from the space-based economy it relied on for so long, Alternia is now populated only by those adolescents who had not yet left to join the fleet before its collapse, a few jadeblooded adults, and those hatched in the post-imperial world. With its hierarchy uprooted, the young trolls of the world have to provide for their own necessities, so while the hemospectrum still clings to the Alternian cultural consciousness, it is up to each troll--highblood and lowblood alike--to ally themselves with a cluster and look out for each other's well-being.
Karkat Vantas, however, was hatched in the post-Imperial era as neither high nor low. As a mutant that is still seen as an ill omen, he lives a solitary existence, only contacting his few close friends on the remnants of whatever technology he can find. That is, until two of the very creatures that wrecked his species show up in his territory.

Dave and Karkat bond over their guardians' love for dead things. And then somehow a bit of voyeurism got thrown in there.
