Personality: Prior to the summer preceding his fourth year at Hogwarts, Mituna was a bright young man gifted with an exceptional aptitude for magic and a high level of intelligence. He was proud of his achievements and always seeking new knowledge, devouring the contents of every book he could lay his hands on. His sense of humour was one which relied mostly upon wit, but he could just as easily laugh at a badly constructed pun as an intellectual joke. While his occasional snide remarks and, as he reached his teens, increased tendency towards being dirty-minded could have people side-eyeing him, his natural charm and cheerful demeanour could easily win people over.
It was rare that he would be visibly angry, tending more towards holding that kind of thing inside and taking down his enemies with eloquence rather than violence. He could be easily affected by criticism, but turned it more towards improving himself than taking it to heart, even if he would be visibly embarrassed by having flaws pointed out and might sulk somewhat afterwards.
When he wasn’t finding out everything there was to know about his latest intellectual fascination, he would spend his time outdoors with a close friend, practicing experimental and occasionally dangerous broomstick manoeuvres (something which he still continues to do).
However, when he returned to school for his fourth year, he might as well have been an entirely different person. Mituna had changed from a gifted young wizard with a bright future to a boy who was occasionally incapable of even stringing together a coherent sentence. While he’s still capable of learning and performing magic, he suffers frequent and frustrating setbacks which trigger explosions of temper and sulking which is very childish for someone of his age. Any pride he feels in his achievements is now something which is more often prompted by other people noticing that he did something good, rather than being aware of it himself.
His temperament is now far more unstable than it used to be, often swinging without warning between frustrated anger and soft-spoken calm. He functions best around people he knows well and finds difficulties in conversing with strangers, in part because of his lack of social grace and also because his mood swings and lack of understanding from strangers about his condition can cause people to not want to attempt to get to know him. Mituna dislikes being touched by people he doesn’t know well, and there are only a few people that he will tolerate sustained physical contact from.
Many of his previous personality traits are still present, though not necessarily intact. He still has his peculiar, occasionally perverted sense of humour, though a diminished social filter means that he’s often inappropriate. Whether or not he actually means to be is anyone’s guess, but he has retained his respect for his teachers and will listen to them if they scold him. If pulled up on one of his outbursts by the victim of it or a bystander, he may immediately stop what he’s doing and apologise, even if he doesn’t particularly like the other person. This, of course, doesn’t lend much credit to the sincerity of his apologies. He will often evade questions or answer them indirectly or with an answer that only seems to make sense to himself, and reacts poorly to sudden shocks or surprises, occasionally having panic attacks that seem completely untriggered except to those who know what happened to cause him to be how he is now.
He doesn’t remember much about the events which caused his current problems, and becomes confused and agitated when pressed about them. The relationship he has with his brother also changed, and although he would still defend Sollux against anyone speaking poorly of him, he is ill equipped to do so and more often ends up being the one needing to be defended.
Canon Background: When we first see Mituna in Homestuck, there is an immediate display of his clumsiness as he grinds across a bridge railing and promptly falls flat on his face. It is revealed over the course of the conversations that he has with the other trolls that despite his obvious problems he had managed to maintain two stable quadrants for hundreds of years, apparently with no one being quite sure how he achieved it. His moirail, with whom it is rumoured that he is actually coherent, is Kurloz Makara, who implied to have had some involvement in the events which caused his brain damage. He also has a long-standing matespritship with Latula Pyrope, with whom he shares a love of performing skateboard stunts.
It can be taken from Meenah’s reaction to his sexual innuendo that he was always somewhat perverted, though despite her teasing of him she is quick to step up and defend him against Cronus’ bullying and Kankri’s backhanded insults.
Unlike Karkat's group, Mituna and his fellow trolls come from a planet called 'Beforus', and unlike Alternia it was a peaceful planet with similarly peaceful trolls. It was only post-Scratch, with the arrival of the First Guardian Doc Scratch that the troll's society became violent.
From the wiki page: Mituna was the Heir of Doom in the failed A1 Sgrub session, which took three solar sweeps; it is unknown if Mituna ascended to the God Tiers during this time, as he himself seemed confused and uncertain about whether he had done so. As with the rest of their team, he was killed by Meenah Peixes to ensure that they "survived" in the Furthest Ring instead of being completely wiped out by the Scratch's reset.
In Openbound Part 2, upon exiting Terezi's hive as Meenah, Aranea gives a short biography of Mituna and his history:
"The Heir of Doom was once a powerful psionic. He was gifted with vision twofold, and had strong prophetic insights wherever a 8leak future was concerned. He had much to say when it came to warning us a8out the path of doom and destruction we were all headed for, 8ut no one took him very seriously. 8ut one day he lost all those abilities when he 8adly overexerted himself. It's hard to get any specifics from him, 8ut indications are that he applied every last 8it of energy he had toward some great act of heroism, saving us all from some looming threat. Not only did his exertion permanently 8urn out his psychic a8ilities, 8ut it left him somewhat... er. Incoherent. [...] The entire incident is shrouded in mystery. From his limited and scattered accounts of what happened, it seems very likely that Kurloz was with him at the time, as the only eye witness. And of course it's impossi8le to get any relia8le information out of him. I guess we may never know, sadly."
