Knight
the guard class, and supposed opposite of the page. knights use their aspect as a weapon to protect others. a common theme among knights is the use of a fabricated personality to hide their aspect, or problems associated with their aspect
Rage
the resignation class, and supposed opposite of hope. rage players tend to divert attention from themselves, becoming important behind the scenes. it is common for them to have alternate personalities, or at least go through some severe emotional change or flip during their journey
In-Game
you may have often struggled with keeping the less desirable aspects of your personality under wraps. you may, perhaps, have one confidential person to relate your whole self to, but if not this can be a real problem. both rage and knight players tend to need moirails, or some equivalent thereof, and can become a liability if not kept an eye on (or shoved in a fridge. or knocked out with yarn). this could likely result in self-destructive behavior, given a knight’s general skewed perception of heroism. basically, you’re a problem child. whoops.
your reasons for joining the game are likely because you have realized your friends need your help. this becomes a common theme throughout your session; you micro-manage everything behind the scenes and make sure everyone is okay, but at your own expense. your friends may even notice this and say can you maybe chill? but you’ll say HOW ABOUT MAYBE YOU CHILL?
your dreamself is a bit iffy, but id say derse just because you like to fuss and meddle a lot. so much bugging and fussing and meddling.
if you didnt have a more productive teammate, id say youd usurp the black queen yourself by pulling strings from the inside (ie manipulating the consorts like slick). youd use her henchmen against her and make them her downfall, ultimately protecting prospit and ensuring their victory (or so you think until the reckoning, because as the game is, prospit is not meant to win)
overall, bugging and fussing a meddling abounds
Land
The Land of Destitution and Substrata. Your land is, in a few words, war-ravaged. Your consorts have been fighting each other for millennia, in a complicated series of guilds and alliances. You need to choose a side and fight with your consorts. Some align with Lyssa, your denizen, who like all others has been in a deep slumber. Her slumber has allowed her own rage, which previously allied the different groups in an attempt to satiate her, has since faded because of her sleep. Thusly, the warring consorts turned on each other once again. If you’re smart about it, you could even get your consorts to fight with you against Lyssa, if you’re into that.
Your consorts are red foxes.
Powers
your aspect allows you to use your own rage to protect others. thusly, you are fiercely protective. you can basically do a hulk-y power up thing, where the more angry you get, the more ass you kick. what’s more, you get an enormous bonus if your teammate is injured by the enemy. if killed, youre unstoppable. is it like grimdarkness? just a little. are you more susceptible to it in this state? yeah
Grimdark
speaking of
dont indulge in your power too much, as it is supplied by the dark gods, and allowing them to supply you with power is dangerous. but of course youre a knight, and you probably dont care too much about that. so of course, this is a big problem.
being grimdark is a stark difference to your usual personality attempting to conceal your true feelings and rage. you are almost certain to do and say things you regret (if the dark gods manipulate you in a way that allows others to understand you. its a bit up in the air)
you positively radiate anger and a dark aura that coats the area in a black film. rather than using your rage to protect, you now use it to destroy.
can you maybe chill?
