#classpect help

[ditheringluminary]

mysterious person here :D i'm creating a purpleblood dame who struggles with a perceived lack of ways to make the world better for others; she takes refugees in and tries to make others face the issues lowbloods suffer through, but feels she can't do anything truly substantial. i know her aspect is mind, but do you have any suggestions for class?

Witch sounds about right. That or a Rogue. Witches want to very much change the status quo (look to feferi, a fellow witchy troll who wanted to change alternia much like your own). A Rogue because they seem to lack Mind (choices and impactful decisions) but try to supply it for others. Hope this helped!

Time has been the ONLY aspect I have never once identified with, and my classpect has changed practically every other week for the past however many years. Since SBURB is supposed to challenge a person, is it possible that Time may in fact be the answer? Or is it not as drastic as that?

I think you might want to explore the aspects of Time that you find strange or even repellant, as part of your journey might involve coming to terms with the truth that it (as well as every aspect) is an important part of your being. Explore the classes of Prince, Bard, and Page as you think about it.

Sorry for the late response, but I hope these answers are satisfactory!

Anonymous said: i think ive narrowed down my aspect but im having a little bit of trouble choosing my class. what are the differences between a knight of breath and a mage of breath in terms of personality?

I can’t really speak for personality, but I can tell you how both of these heroes would operate and give you some idea! So, a Knight of Breath is going to be a very active player, always on the move to help deal with the next big problem in the session. Most other players in their session will have difficulty getting around on their own, so they may count on the Knight to swoop in, help, and soar off like the helpful busy bee they are. The Knight may or may not actually enjoy doing this, but it’s what will be expected of them, and what they will do best. The Mage of Breath, meanwhile, will be adept at keeping track of the movements of others and will be the one pushing forward, keeping activity on the move as a show of inspiration for the team. The Mage will try to get the session’s momentum up by sweeping ahead and dragging everyone along with them...though they may end up going too far, too fast, taking dangerous shortcuts best left alone! They ill know all the ways forward and will take whichever one seems the most likely to take them the farthest.

So, if you identify with the Breath aspect and think you may be one of these two, the question is simple: Are you the type of player to go running about for everyone else’s benefit like a discount Superman, or are you more the type to take point and lead onward, showing everyone the path forward like a pioneer? Do you push your friends forward from behind or pull them along from in front? Support or lead? Protect or envision?

(1/?)Yo! i think i've narrowed down that i'm probably a Space player, but would you be interested in helping with my class? some interesting stuff: space has a ton of influence on my life, but ironically, i'm terrible with literal space - as in, i have trouble finding things that are right in front of me. i get lost in new places easily, i'm very clumsy and always bumping into things because i can't tell where *exactly* my body is in relation. i'm often wayy off when estimating measurements.

“(2/?)My aim with pretty much any projectile sucks. I'm in a "semi long distance" relationship - just enough space between my partner and I to be inconvenient, but less enough to see each other occasionally. But it's not just locational Space that influences my life - I had a strong interest in astronomy when I was in middle school. Still kinda do, in fact, but less so. My personality is also influenced by the aspect, as most of my daydreams involve creating something amazing and I often come up”

“(3/final) with ideas that I haven't seen anybody else have, or strange interpretations of things or unconventional solutions to certain problems. Unfortunately, I have very low self-confidence and never share these things. I also tend to distance myself from my close friends and loved ones, and am very reclusive in general. Hell, I even "space out" very often, pardon the play on words. But uh... anyways, yeah that's a whole essay on how I think an aspect affects me. Sorry if it was a bit long.”

youre a void player. all that about being reclusive, having a long distance relationship, not being able to talk measurements at all, getting lost easily, bumping into things, so on and so on. that sounds pretty void to me. void players are also great with the sciences. you being able to come up with ideas about many things no one else has, is another reason why i say void. you spacing out? void. void players kind of live in their own liminal space. in their own personal world half the time. void. id personally say mage of void because you can take one look at this and go “YEP THATS VOID.” like how you can with sollux, look at that guy for two seconds and you go “lmao yeah that mfer doomed.” you dont really see this type in the heirs. they are the *literal* embodiment of their aspect. breath? wind. void? Nothingness. heart? emotion. rage? uncontrolled emotion. but this is more of the figurative version.

I think I might be a rogue of mind, but I'm also stuck between rogue of light and heir of doom. Any tips on what I should do or how I can figure this out?

If you’d like, I’m open to talk if you want to shoot me a message. Of course, if you’re not comfortable doing that, I’m happy to try and help in this post, although my answer may be less accurate. Here is one question that could help, perhaps!

First, if a friend is being lied to, how do you confront the problem? Do you go through the system and manipulate it so the friend finds out? Do you try and evenly spread information, perhaps by straight up telling them? Or do you perhaps guide them to the person they are being lied to by, and encourage the flow of logic and truth between them?

And as a short PSA, I’m going to close the ask box on this blog, and request that you all who have classpect questions direct them to my classpecting blog

vivithedragon said: So, I've been struggling with my classpect a little bit, I strongly connect with the Life aspect, but I'm not as sure about the Maid class as I used to be. This may be because I'm a rather anxious person, but I would like your take on it. I'm a creative person who always wants to help people ( even if I don't always know how). I try to be kind to everyone and I tend to be a bit weird around my friends. I'm a Derse dreamer and I used to think I was a Mind player before I really explored aspects.

It’s fine if you’re questioning your classpect. It can be very hard to find one that you feel sums you up. It’s kinda like choosing a Hogwarts house: You may feel you engender qualities of one house, but have aspects of another as well, and it confuses you as to where you “belong”. So it is with classpects. A Maid of Life is one who feels obligated to protect others and nurture growth. In Sburb, this often has a literal meaning, but it can also be metaphorical. If you do like helping others but aren’t sure how, maybe being a Maid is closer than you think.

I’ve read some speculation that a Maid is a player who starts out relying on others for their aspect and must learn to rely on themselves for it. I’m not sure how this fits into canon, but if it holds true, it may imply that as a Maid of Life, you would feel unable to grow and mature as a person without outside influences and need to progress in your life on your own two feet. As a Derse dreamer, your problems will tend to be internal, so this description might fit as well. If you were a Maid of Mind, it would indicate a desire to protect and serve the ideas and plans of yourself and others, and may indicate an early path of letting others make all the plans themselves before starting to step forward and offer your own insight. It may simply be that you have Mind-related qualities; nobody said you can’t dabble!

Figuring out just what class and aspect you are can be tricky. There are plenty of tests and quizzes out there, but ultimately, it all boils down to what you really identify with the most. What do you want your role to be? Will you support and nurture? Protect and advise? Keep thinking on it; I know you’ll settle on something that matches you perfectly. I know I did!

So im in a strange position in which i am just as much space as breath. Ive figured out that im probably knight of space and/or rogue of breath, but i dont know how to balance between these or where to go from there

That’s definitely a tricky situation! Since Knight and Rogue, despite being opposite classes, are very close in how they operate in a game or life context I’d begin by examining your relationship to the two aspects

Where does your passion lie? In art or the greater picture? In people and society?Are you someone who people come to for help on balancing certain relationships?When faced with a problem where do you begin? With the people or the problem itself?

Hope these guiding questions can help you figure out your classpect and thanks for sending in this ask : D

So, I need some classpect help :0 Im having a hard time deciding if im a rogue or knight of breath! I feel as though I lack breath, but im very aware of that fact so I beat myself up for not being better at being independent/confident. Could you help me tell the difference between the two? o.o hopefully ur not flooded with asks @-@

Sure love! Rogues tend to be aware of total lack of their aspect in their surroundings as a direct result of lacking it themselves whereas Knights, as they progress through their journey, begin to see pockets of very concentrated aspect and use it to their advantage

Your perceived lack of Breath could simply be a result of your awareness of the surplus of Breath around you- so I would say Knight! Make your own judgements however, as introspection is always the best path in classpect! Hope this was helpful!
