While it’s been a theory for a long time that Knights represent what a session is absent of, that may not be completely accurate. For Dave’s session, yes, but he was very efficient at buying time through his hops, and even Vriska admitted that Karkat was successful at uniting his team... until all Hope was crushed. Kurloz came from a version of Alternia that was not as indulgently violent, and they blamed the failure of their session on that difference. As of postcanon, especially, it is fair to say that everyone from the B2 session, save for the Void player in Meat, seems to have been reduced to skin-deep parodies of their original personalities.

Knights may not represent what a session lacks, given that Knights take it upon themselves to provide their Aspect. Which, they have all been keenly proficient at their Aspect, whether or not their strength is in combat. Princes may better represent what a session is missing, and Knights may be the force it must weigh against.

Decision against passivity. Cooperation against hopelessness. Continuity against heteronomy.

Witches are often well-endowed with their Apsect since pre-session, and accompanied by a guardian who shares influence over their own Aspect. Whether or not this aligns with the guardian’s own motives, their influence may compete with the Witches' motives; sooner or later they successfully overpower the Witch, but the Witch in turn may find a way to turn it back around in their favor.

Damara's post-Scratch counterpart lived in servitude to the time-traveling gang that raised her. Feferi grew up postponing her lusus from causing her people's extinction. Jade's dog was a first guardian, a being that could be regarded as wielding the combined powers of every Class Space player, whom was later Prototyped and completed Jack Noir's rise to power.

its probably nothing, but both sollux and meulin have been actively manipulated by people (sollux by vriska via killing aradia and meulin by the clown)

That could be a good place to start. When Aradia was still heavily influenced by the other dead as a ghost, she could also be added to the Mages’ list of influences.

In which case, it could be argued that Sollux and Meulin both had misplaced trust, but Sollux is still very skeptical in general, and it would be in poor taste to blame him for placing his trust in someone who’d never violated it before.

Oracle Classes and possession

Probably following the same logic as psychic mediums, oracle Classes are at a higher risk of possession.

By not exercising enough caution, or by exercising too much recklessness, Seers can be possessed by having opened themselves up to those whom they seek answers about.

Mages may be at greater risk for the mere likelihood that they have very limited control over filtering the Aspect-related trivia they are receptive to. For this reason, Mages may also be doubly vulnerable to life-threatening ultimations.

Lastly, by extension, Muses are also uniquely capable of possessing those in their sphere of influence-- presumably, but perhaps not exclusively, anyone who shares their Aspect-- by being the answer. Whether by the Muse or the recipient the answer is sought has yet to be clarified.

Active and passive Class pairs may all have similar personal challenges to each other, but deal with it in different ways.

Mages and Seers both struggle with the harder truths they’re informed of, but whereas Seers have to learn what they can do about it, Mages have to learn what they can do about it.

Pages and Sylphs both struggle with caring for themselves, but whereas Pages have to learn to stand up for themselves, Sylphs have to learn to give themselves a break.

When it comes to accuracy in theorizing your Aspect, Class, Land and Lunar Sway without the assistance of an official test, keep in mind that they are not necessarily going to align with your personal preferences. They are meant to challenge you.

Take Lands for example. Lands give a face to subjects of insecurity or trauma, while presenting them as beautiful landscapes, and its true meaning may not be clear until the player has grown well-acquainted with the planet. At their core, Lands may represent a player’s subconscious.

Karkat’s blood, a death warrant in his culture, runs like lakes and rivers on LOPAH. Dave’s suppressed trauma echoes in the metallic clanks of LOHAC. Rose’s was not so clear-cut to herself, and she admitted her first impression was simply that it was beautiful. Everyone’s first impression of their planet was that they were beautiful and suit themselves. But put bluntly from Dave’s outside perspective, the way it looked like the set for a children’s princess story later made Rose feel infantilized. Given her Class, her hobbies, and the maturity with which she is careful to present herself, Rose’s Land could imply she has insecurities about her intelligence.

When figuring out what kind of Land to expect, remember that its quest is not just about applying your Title. Your Title comes with its own self-improvement challenges, but the planet’s imagery is also meant to expose unspoken personal baggage.

Hey, so I’m an ENFP, Sagittarius, and I think I’m a Seer of Life. Does this fit? If it doesn’t, what classpect would I have that would fit better?

SEER OF LIFE: actively informs self of life/vigor.

MTBI types seem to have greater influence on Lunar Sway, and Equius, Horuss, Dave, Dirk, Jade, Jake, Rose and Roxy are all Sagittarians, so signs can be any combination of Classes and Aspects.

According to the official test, Life players are lively [pun intended], and while they may not have any interest in parenthood, they have a certain maternal quality to them. This can either express as a nurturing energy, to the point of martyrdom, or as an overbearing mother-knows-best attitude.

Based on Kankri, Terezi and Rose, Seers are analytical and have a drive to study recreationally; and what they like to study may or may not relate directly to their Aspect, but they’re often applicable to everyday aspects of life.For Kankri, it’s social justice. For Terezi, it’s crime. For Rose, it’s psychology.A player’s Title reflects their personality by translating it into superpowers. A person’s passion for learning to the point of nosiness becomes an advantage if they’re growing into the role of an oracle, such as with a Seer.

So together, a Seer of Life can either be a therapist, a life coach, a helicopter parent, a nosy caretaker, or a backseat-driving stalker.

If any of these seem applicable, the Seer of Life may be an accurate match for you. If not, find common traits between players with like Classes or Aspects and what makes certain players the most relatable.

Could you analyze a Page of Blood? Also I've been reading through your blog everything is so in depth omg c:

PAGE OF BLOOD: passively recovers self or others via blood/bodies/cooperation.

Pages work in subtle ways, letting much of their influence go unnoticed.In this case, a Page of Blood’s allies may notice they recover from injuries more easily, or the team is quicker to reconcile from alercations, but they may simply credit themselves for strong team spirit.

Pages are also inclined to start off deficient in their Aspect, implying they may have experienced a history of fallouts, social isolation or poor health. They also take longer to develop their Aspect, perhaps because of the time it takes for them to build their own inner strength. This comes with the Page Class being especially vulnerable to abuse and manipulation.
