Aspect Abilities- Heart

Let’s just say damn the preface and jump straight in from now on.

Heart is the antithesis of mind. To thought, it is love. To intelligence, it is personality. It is the soul. Similar to Mind, it is incredibly weak in terms of direct battle potential. However, it, like Mind, has wider possibilities than almost any other aspect.

Direct Combat

Dirk's thing where he rips your soul out of your body by force.

Debilitation

A Thief of Heart would be the charismatic figure of the group. Stealing hearts, left and right. This would also apply to enemies- meaning betrayal. They would betray their friends and families for a Thief of Heart.

A Rogue of Heart would be similar to the above, but more mutually beneficial. Their power is, in essence, shipping. They find love for their friends, and help flesh out their personalities and who they are. Nepeta isn't just adorable, she's responsible for everybody in the team staying sane and feeling loved. And at the same time, she makes the enemy feel alone and sad. The ultimate morale booster, she is.

Support

A Seer of Heart can understand a person. Fully understand them. That is something far beyond anybody on this Earth ever could do. Moreover, they could see how their personality will play out in the long term; who is the danger, who is the savior. 

A Rogue of Heart has already been discussed. 

A Mage of Heart would be the archetypal mysterious bishie man who is either adored or hated. Between the characteristic self-deprecation of mages and the attraction of Heart players, he'd be able to use it to his advantage, too. See, very few classes are capable of seducing the Black Queen.

Soul control is a power of Heart players. It's like Mind control, only it's less invasive, more permanent, and is the most fucked up thing imaginable.

A Heart player could have emotional illusions; ghost lights, I think they're called? Types of things that lure you away, distract you. Whatever you want to see at that moment.

Self-Empowerment

They can literally infuse their own personality and the entire basis of their being with pure energy, how the hell could they NOT power themselves up? Thieves of Heart: beware. Not only do they tear apart loyalties, they also empower themselves through it. 

Summoning

While not directly summoning, some of them (Dirk) can leave behind shards of soul in objects and such. While not literally them, it... well, is. AR is Dirk, just a different form of him. Same with Jake's Mind!Dirk. Mind!Dirk was only less different from Alpha!Dirk because Jake had recently interacted with Dirk for quite some time. As opposed to three years of time, it had been only a month or two to develop itself. It's possible, actually, that each Soul!Dirk acts as another backup of Dirk. So, if Dirk were to die again, Mind!Dirk might disappear when Dirk was kissed, and may be fused with him. While typing this, I had a revelation about Mind!Dirk, so I'm gonna get to that after this. The same may be true of AR: that they are each different backup copies, like a Dream Self. The concept is the same, after all. 

Healing

Healing the splits in the soul. A Sylph of Heart may be the absolute greatest healer in existence, because they can close your wounds when you are injured and can piece you back together when you are broken.

Conclusion

Heart players are powerful. Their abilities go to an extreme few others can match. Though they cannot easily fight with their power, they can do so much more. Altering a soul, destroying it, stealing it. Figuratively, literally. A Heart player is nigh-upon vital for a team's long-term success; their power is beyond simple 'power.'

If confronted with a Heart player, be wary. If they are God Tier, run. They could destroy you with ease. Show you what you want most, show you what you feel to be true, ultimate happiness, then take it away. Then destroy it.

A Heart player is not to be trifled with.

Aspect Abilities- Time

This may be the most regular time I've done one of these posts.

Anyways.

Time is a fun one. It is the upper dimensions. Time equates to not only history itself but to offshoot universes- also known as alternate timelines. 

It is one of the vital powers required for a session to be fertile. The other is its twin aspect, Space.

Direct Combat

Oh, you're fighting an entire army on your own? Snap your fingers: they're all just dust in the wind now. (Lord English has used this one: Honk)

It's easy to think that that (as if it isn't impressive enough) is the only attack Time has or needs. There are others. If you take this small area, and freeze time there, then fire it off, it would act as a harder-than-diamond blade; whatever it hits would be perfectly cut (or rather, a perfect layer of it would be just out of sync, and would fall away, leaving both halves separate.)

Debilitation

Whoops, sorry, made you an old man. My bad.

Not to mention crippling specific limbs, reverting scars to wounds, recalling old injuries, so on.

Support

This is where the abilities of Time come in that make it a vital aspect in any session.

For one, boonbucks. Getting lots of them. Getting all of them, in fact.

Second, frog breeding. It takes a long, long time to breed the Genesis Frog, especially with gathering random frogs from all across the space player's land. Time travel is an incredibly necessary part of this.

They can also boost the length of time given to get into a session and to  win the session; Rogues of Time are very valuable for this purpose.

Self-Empowerment

Need a weapon? Boom, summon one from the annals of history. Need a bandaid? Boom, annals of history. Need some bitchin' glasses? Boom! Annals of history.

Summoning

Time doesn't need to summon crap, they've got all the power of history at their command. Time has one of the highest levels of pure attack power at their command.

But they can, in fact, summon themselves. Offshoot copies of themselves. Aradia did this to great effect.

Healing

Heal what? You were never injured. Well, technically, you were injured, and then you weren't, so in the same timeline you would have been both injured and never have been injured at the same time. Time is bullshit like that sometimes.

Conclusion

Time is one of the absolute strongest aspects. With speed ultimately unrivaled and the power of history behind them, they can fight and easily destroy anything and everything in their path. If a possibility is true in another timeline, or an object exists in one, then they can make it exist in their own. They can travel between these timelines with ease, allowing more variety and more powerful applications than most other aspects.

What do u think the aspect abilities of heart would be?

hibernatingsunflower asked you:

Oh describe my Land for me maybe? (sylph of heart/land of glow and diamonds)

I assume you're talking about the Aspect Ability posts? 

I've got a scheduled order I'm doing those in; I'll move heart up higher, and I'll do it right after I finish time. I pretty much do those whenever I'm bored, can't sleep, and have the motivation to do so. Which, naturally, is pretty sporadic. Sorry about that.

But, as for your specific class, a Sylph of Heart would be able to heal heartbreak, personality, souls, and such. It would work the same way as a Sylph of Mind, only from the other side. Instead of healing through the symptoms (or neurological signs) of a disorder, you could heal through the very cause itself. Each one works equally well in the end, and each is equally meddlesome, really.

It cannot heal paralyzed limbs or other neuron-based issues (such as depression), but it could likely alleviate them to an extent.

As for healing souls or personalities, you could take someone who is at the very brink of despair and bring them back. Crushed with regret, anxiety, fear, crippling memories of every little mistake they've made, and at the point where they're about to break- you could bring them back. People who cannot undo what they've done, and feel it must set their course, or people sympathetic to you but who feel as though they are obligated now to be your enemy- all of them, you can restore.

Alright. Now as for your land. This already ended up being pretty long, so I'll continue in another post.

Aspect Abilities- Rage

Here we are, yet again.

Damn the intro, let's get started.

Rage is violence, anger, vengeance. It is throwing away rational thought and embracing primal destruction. It is easily the most terrifying aspect- and far more suited for battle than any other. I'm gonna tag this with some triggers, too, might get messy.

Speaking of that last line, actually, could someone send me an explanation of triggers in general? I don't really know what they are, nor anything about them, and would like to learn.

Here we go.

Direct Combat

A Rage player is likely extremely gifted in hand-to-hand combat. Their abilities are such that they can tear a hole wide-open in your defenses, and- actually, let's use a comparison here.

You know how in manga or anime, when you touch the protagonists' friends, and he/she gets really, REALLY pissed off, at which point the reader gently laughs to themselves about how much the antagonist's ass is about to be kicked? When a Rage player fights another person, they act as the reader and the protagonist both. Uncontrollable, deadly, destructive, all while laughing.

A Prince of Rage is easily one of the most powerful fighters, especially one on one. Forget the example above, the Prince of Rage is a hairline trigger. Perfectly calm, completely emotionless, cold and calculating up until the point where they decide to get serious. At that point, they go from calm and calculating to destroying everything in sight with their animosity.

Debilitation

Ever heard of torture? Yes? Okay, moving on.

Support

Despite the Rage aspect being literally the most fucking terrifying shit ever, they ARE rather great if you want to stand behind them. Just try not to get blood on your clothes.

A Rogue or Thief of Rage would also be able to act as a calming force for others- though a Rogue would also be able to flip that and act as an inciting force, instead.

Some Rage players might have the ability to see someone's breaking point- the point at which said person does an epic fucking pirouette off the handle. They can then, depending on malevolence and/or class, either gently pull them away from said cliff or give them a cheerful shove over it.

A Knight of Rage would protect through rage. This is getting back into stereotypical shonen protagonist again, but really don't screw with their friends.

Self-Empowerment

This is RAGE, a cross between a love of battle and pure disinhibition. They don't need a physical way of manifesting their self-empowerment, even though they have some of the strongest abilities in this sector.

As a matter of fact, their personality itself is what makes them so powerful in this sector. You can't put down the clown. The thing is, though, Rage players are essentially unstoppable. You stand in their way, you suffer. 

Summoning

Nada.

Healing

A Sylph of Rage would be able to heal people's rage and anger, erasing cynicism and replacing it with pure, unbridled, unadulterated rage. Rejuvenation of the soul, in a way. Replacing the jaded side with restored emotions.

Conclusion

Rage is the most terrifying fucking shit you will ever see. That's really it. Confronted with a Rage player? If they have the desire and the will to kill you, it doesn't matter what else, leave. That's the final line. The things a Rage player can do to you are outmatched by nothing; not even the horrorterrors themselves can do you worse.

Aspect Abilities- Mind

There are so many posts discussing the meaning of an aspect, so I figured I’d do something a bit different.

I will discuss all the possible uses of each aspect, beginning with my own aspect, Mind. I probably won't cover them all, so feel free to add more to the list.

Okay, so Mind deals with intelligence, thought, and logic. Overall, it and its opposite aspect, Heart, have the least direct combat potential of any aspects. That’s a good thing, though, for both of them, as each give more functions on a more open playing field than any other.

Let’s begin, shall we?

Direct Combat

A Prince of Mind could destroy the very thoughts of their enemies- snap his fingers, and bam, no more brain. The same goes for the nervous system.

Debilitation

A Thief or Rogue of Mind would dumb down any enemy on the playing field, turning them from pretty stupid to dumb enough to earn a species-wide Darwin Award.

A Bard of Mind would do the same as the Prince, only on accident.

Support

A Rogue of Mind would increase the reaction times and general intelligence of all heroes in the Medium. In effect, they'd be able to think and react at a heightened rate. 

A Seer of Mind would be like a chess Grandmaster- through their thoughts, they could map out every possible path the game would take, turns and days ahead of when they would actually happen. She could then decide which path is best to take, and what she must do. Terezi used this ability when confronting Vriska on the meteor.

A Mage of Mind would be an effective strategist, fully understanding intelligence and the workings of the nervous system. A Mage of Mind would be able to see the thoughts of other players, or, even more useful, the Black King and Queen. He could map out the state of the Battlefield and the Medium, and then plan ahead and anticipate attacks from that.

Multiple Mind classes could use mind control- however, it would be limited to only a few minions for anybody save a Lord.

A Prince of Mind, if they were really, really careful, and extremely devious, could slowly weaken the perception and senses of their opponent. Or, even more devious, could slowly devastate their nervous system, making their opponent slower and slower as they go, until the Prince can walk circles around a paralyzed opponent.

Several classes could have illusory abilities.

Several classes would also be able to nudge thoughts in whatever direction they want.

Self-Empowerment

A Thief of Mind? Give her a few days inside the Medium. Watch how much her IQ increases. Run like hell.

No, really though. She'd triple it. Remember how Vriska could manipulate any outcome to her favor with luck? That, only with intelligence.

An Heir of Mind could become all that Mind represents. Meaning they'd have an instant reaction time, immediate thought, and would in fact BECOME thought itself. Their presence would alter the battlefield in its entirety.

Summoning

There is no creature inherently associated with Mind- there would be no summoning ability. However, mind control more than makes up for it.

Healing

A Sylph of Mind could fix mental disorders and disabilities- PTSD, ADHD, Depression, she could fix them all up, and restore your mind to an optimal state.

A Knight of Mind would keep those very things from appearing in the first place- PTSD would be most obvious, they'd keep any sort of traumatic experience from happening. But it goes deeper than that, really. ADHD, they'd keep the focus of their friends in full power. Depression? They'd keep their friends cheered up so that it never bothers them in the first place. Latula seems to match the last section especially well, though that may be because most trolls seem to be especially moody. But if you think about the potential behind this, it seems pretty incredible. They would protect thought- in essence, they'd give them the space they need to think and the ability to think to the fullest of their potential.

Conclusion

In summary, Mind players are devious motherfuckers.
