What would a prince of light be like, what would their role be? And what's a likely reason for them going grimdark?

 P: Woo! The Prince of Light!The Prince of Light is an information giver. They are an unbiased source, but they may not outright demonstrate their ability to others. The Prince is obsessed with luck, chance, and statistics. The Prince has learned to manipulate this to his advantage, but fate and chance seem to always rule over him. He is a neutral character who believes firmly in the truth. He may become a vigilante, when pushed far enough, but he has never been under anyone else's control. He separates himself from others because of his intelligence- it serves as a weakness just as much as it does a strength. Once in the game, he will use extremely destructive means to get information. Imagine something like Rose's path of destruction before going Grimdark (ripping apart that castle, just to name an instance). 

I honestly can't imagine the Prince going Grimdark. Like I said before, he is hard to control. It would have to be at a time when his guard is lowered (rarely), and it would have to be instigated by himself and his desire for information. Once Grimdark, I suppose he will become a vigilante of sorts. He may view his own suppressed emotions as the absolute truth, and he may view going after those who hurt him as just. He would become extremely powerful (and lucky), so good luck killing him (actually, he could probably take yours away, too, and weaponize it, and dear lord). He may use darkness instead of Light as a weapon (almost like the thorns of Oglogoth for Rose and the dark rain surrounding her).

Could you help me with my god tier? I'm genderfluid, usually very quiet and I don't talk much around people I don't know or I'm not comfortable with. When I'm with my friends I'm not as quiet. I like drifting off into my thoughts. I have very mixed emotions about a lot of things, and for the majority of times, I generally don't like people and I'm pretty strong willed and violent sometimes. After you've given me my god tier could you also explain what it would be like if I went grimdark? Thanks!

P: Okay, so a gender-neutral title would suit you. Here are some:Female biased:Rogue (+) Seer (s+) Thief (-)Male biased:Mage (s-)  Heir (-) Knight (+)[[You can ignore the gender bias; these titles are essentially gender-neutral]]

(-)=Active; (+)=Passive; (s)=Support

From what you have told me, you are passive naturally. However, you seem to have an active tendency around your friends. This leads me to believe that you are a low-active class; or you are defensive. The Heir seems to fit, then. So, let’s go with the Heir. Also, you “drift off into your thoughts”, which are sort of daydreams rather than specific thoughts, correct? Your natural tendency towards mixed emotions leads me to believe this. You are strong-willed, somewhat violent (same), and you seem more introverted. Therefore, Heart, the aspect of emotion and one’s self, fits perfectly. I prefer this over Rage, since you don’t seem a) that violent, and b) you seem to be more self-oriented (NOT selfish), for a lack of better wording. 

So, your title is the Heir of Heart. Now, if you went Grimdark:

You would likely just seclude yourself. You would go Grimdark due to dark emotions overtaking you. You would be lost in these and would remain grimdark for a while. You may cause a lot of negative energy, sort of in a storm, with pink lightning striking skaia (assuming you go there, of course). This storm would follow you. You may get violent, but you would not likely act out on people. I expect some towers to not survive (t’was a joke, laugh).

So, this should help sort some things out! Some advice: Just take some days to yourself when you feel down and really dissect how you feel, and why. This should help you come to terms with how you feel, and why you are confused.

Important Update: Grimdarkness

P: It can evidently be ended with sleep, as shown in the Update. At least, when caused by the Condescension.

How would a Page of Mind go grimdark, if one ever did? And why?

P: I think that this is essentially the same question, since the Page of Mind would go grimdark because of something and the way that said thing wants them to. The most vulnerable thing for a Page of Mind is their mind, at least before they reach full power. The Page will be easily influenced by mind readers or by powerful controllers, but it likely won’t be the Horrorterrors (since the Page will probably be on Prospit/avoid them.~Mod P.

What would a mage of voids powers be if he went grimdark and on a scale of 1-10 how likely is it for him to go grimdark. Thanks a million

Mod Z: Oh boy.By definition,  Mage is one with an undying desire to understand their aspect.  Once they can understand it, they can manipulate it to their heart's desire, usually only in benefit of themselves.  One could almost compare it to hacking into the aspect and exploiting its loopholes for self benefit rather than directly using it itself.So for a Mage of Void, what does this imply?  It means that they will naturally need to know the secrets that cannot be known.  The unknown will call to them and be their Achilles' heel at the same time as their source of power.  A Mage of Void may start dabbling in the darker majyyks found in Paradox Space, leading them to communion with the Horrorterrors.Unlike Rose who gave limited consent before being completely taken by the beasts of the Furthest Ring, the Mage of Void will be fully lucid and aware, as they will essentially be one and the same as the Horrorterrors.  If they went Grimdark, it would be devestating to any who opposed them.  While not as destructively capable as a Prince of Void, they have the advantage of self control.Essentially Grimdarkness would amplify their abilities to exploit the unknown, and wouldn't be a matter of how likely but rather an inevitable outcome of the classpect itself.1-10, I'd give it an 11

Could you please tell me what would happen if a Witch of Doom went grimdark?

P: Oh, yes I can. This is probably one of the worst players that could possibly go Grimdark (make a cool pun though, like Grimdeath or Grimdork or something, since Grimdark is kind of Rose’s thing). The Witch of Doom probably wouldn’t be unnecessarily violent, but she will bring armageddon (doomsday) wherever she goes. She is going to likely bring a storm of sorts of death with her, as well as misfortune. She may be very depressed when grimdark, not angry but still somewhat clear-headed. She will be one of the types to only fight if someone challenges her ( a risky move on their part, since they will likely die), but the only cure for Grimdarknes is death. Other than that, she may cause fires or something around her, since that is the physical violent form of doom. It would definitely be a sight to see! If left Grimdark for too long, she will bring doom upon the session itself, since her destructive power is left unchecked in this state.

hello! can you explain what might happen if a maid of hope goes grimdark? also the powers of a seer of rage please?

P: Wow, this is old, I'm so sorry. Well, at least I can answer your question. :)Based on the canon examples of Grimdarkness (Canonically Jade, Jane, and Rose, although Eridan is seen as possibly having gone Grimdark), it usually affects females, especially those with "magical" abilities or other, evil influences. The Maid of Hope would have great magical and hope abilities and would likely be a Derse dreamer, due to her classpect. She would, therefore, probably lose control due to depression related to her aspect or responsibilities, as well as going grimdark due to Horrorterror influence. Oh, you asked about what would happen? Definitely chaos. The Maid has mastery over her aspect (and its workings), meaning that she would wreak havoc with magic. The Maid would be hopeless and very reckless, leaving destruction in her wake. She may kill other players, but she tends to be less violent than that, preferring to rip apart the game at its seams. She sees SBURB as entirely hopeless, even after victory, and the only way to get her out of Grimdarkness is death. Unfortunately, due to her class, she is also easily controlled by other influences (such as the Condesce with Jane), and she will serve anything like this loyally.As for the Seer of Rage, their powers are pretty simple. The Seer starts as being somewhat oblivious to other people's emotions when it is right under their nose, but the Seer is probably very passionate and interested in the psychology of emotions, specifically anger. The Seer may even be very detached, or even a bit temperamental. However, when they enter the game, they start to understand how it works. Specifically, how the passion of others can lead to the destruction of the session. The Seer will also eventually gain control of a "Berserker Mode", where they pretty much become a raging destruction machine (albeit less powerful than more active classes, it is still a sufficient form of the Seer's aspect). The Seer will be a good guide of how others feel, how to motivate them, and how to prevent destruction of the session and their teammates.

Anyways, with enough luck that makes sense :)~Mod P.
