Heir time!! Not heir of time, just my ideas on the class. Specifically the way an aspect connects with pre-sburb life and medium adventures.

Heirs are known for having immense amounts of their aspects but it's not easy to control. It doesn't even seem like they're supposed to. More like harnessed with awesome vibes.

It's seen pre-SBURB as John Egbert is able to get out of any scuffle with his dad. He is never able to be pinned down. This continues into the Medium and spreads to his teammates as none of them are stuck for long. Jade Harley can teleport, Dave Strider can travel through time, and Rose Lalonde can see and take actions towards the optimal future.

Unconsciously harnessing their aspect is also seen through Equius Zahhak, a Heir of Void. Throughout the series he is not mentioned often, and he is portrayed as unappealing to the readers which actually plays into the aspect well. After the trolls are effectively blocked from winning the game, they are able to hide in the void of their SBURB session. In fact, they are so well hidden that they are never found until Vriska Serket tries to solo Jack Noir.

I admittedly cannot remember much of Mituna Captor, a Heir of Doom. What I would theorize is that pre-SBURB he had a ton of constraints. This can actually be seen in the Captors' ancestor, Ψiioniic (yes. I had to copy and paste this name), who is bound to the Condesce's ship as the Helmsmen. Though the aspect obviously carries over later in the session when Mitunia and his eleven teammates die. A big whoopsie.

I’ve seen other interpretations, but the way I write Cirava’s level of psychic power is that prior to The Incident they were right on the borderline of helmsman-grade psionics; like, they could maybe have qualified for the lowest grade of helmsman, fit to power the smallest, slowest class of ship in the Fleet, with all the psi power boosters that I’m sure are a standard part of a helmsblock already. (It makes more sense to me that a helmsrig includes boosters than that Alternia produces a steady supply of psionics who are naturally and without aid capable of throwing building-sized if not small-mountain-sized objects at interstellar speeds or crashing small planets into each other.) Possibly with the helmsblock technicians of whatever ship they were installed in still having to compromise on performance, or else juice them with additional performance enhancers that would burn them out notably faster than a typical goldblood helmsman.

Like, they would have been a bottom-of-the-barrel helmsman if they were even capable of it at all. They’re telekinetic enough for it to be worth mentioning, but weren’t really capable of any feats more impressive than throwing things across the room, and wouldn’t have been considered worth the effort of helmsman processing (particularly not being snatched from Alternia for it while still under the age of majority; even Azdaja and Kuprum can’t say that) if they hadn’t been falsely reported as, like, Sollux-level powerful.

I figure there’s probably more yellowbloods with Cirava’s level of psionics than Sollux/Azdaja/Kuprum’s (even though powerful psychics are the most commonly represented category among the named characters), and they’re generally only made into helmsmen if they have no other useful skills, unless there’s a shortage of helmsmen during the sweep they’re conscripted. Like, the Empire would rather have a talented technician or fighter or craftstroll or entertainer than a shitty helmsman, under most circumstances.

This is largely irrelevant after they gouged their eye out, however. I imagine that they’re still a little bit telekinetic - Sollux flung the meteor all the way to the Green Sun with no eyes at all, so clearly it’s not as simple as “telekinesis is stored in the eyeball” - but they’ve lost a lot of their original strength.

#homestuck #hiveswap #cirava hermod #homestuck trolls #helmsmen #let me tell you about homestuck #'they would have made a shitty helmsman' is not meant as a slight or anything; it's not as if they WANTED to be one #it's just my idea of 1) how much psychic power they actually had at their peak (not a lot) and 2) how the empire would have used it #basically i'm saying they had a middling amount of telekinesis and someone who's just ok at telekinesis would make a bad helmsman

For the first time, I missed Halloween (my favorite holiday) with my boys. But @h2hempress had my back and The Babadooks had another great one. Tyrannosaurus Brax and Kylo Seb in the haughhhhh!!!!! #Helmsmen https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X05oUJv0D/?igshid=bssd7k7qd8b4

Helmsman Training Station 11

Station 11 is a helmsman and psionic training facility run by General Leoffe, located in the depths of the vast southern desert Hanhai, where the troll populations are primarily lowbloods possessing psionics abilities more often than not, and possesses a reputation of both fear and awe for the locals.

General Loeffe is a violetblooded and widely-respected general of the Imperial fleet that is on a research sabbatical at Station 11, and currently works primarily with optimizing the preparation of psionics for helming duty, as well as psionic weapons development.

Station 11 takes in younger psionic volunteers (often motivated by the promise of glory in serving the Empire) and conscripted trolls that have sufficiently high psionic ratings to helm ships, stations, or satellites. The primary purpose of the facility is both training future helmsmen in control and adequate usage of their abilities, and fitting them with appropriate implants and port modifications before shipping them out for Imperial fleet usage.

Trolls emerging from Station 11 typically are fitted with:

standard metal ports allowing the linkage of their central nervous system with a ship’s helmscolumn

neural modifications allowing for behavioral programming, shipwide AI capabilities, and optimization of psionic abilities

obedience programming and neural enhancement for the purpose of seamless integration and the neural processing ability necessary to helm a ship

Trolls that come to Station 11 but don’t make the cut for helming are disposed of appropriately. Atypically unruly and disobedient trolls, or ones that simply cannot accept their behavioral programming, are put into a surgically induced vegetative state and utilized as batteries in power sources that don’t require an AI component to run, such as station generators. Trolls that have psionics that are uncontrollable or otherwise ill-suited to the position of helmsman are either removed from the facility, terminated, or occasionally sold to non-fleet personnel or backwater stations that can’t afford better, depending on which stage of preparation they are determined to be nonviable.

General Leoffe, unlike many fleet leaders, leads Station 11 with what is sometimes considered excessive strictness. As a result of that and the strategic location of the station in the midst of a population with a plethora of strong psionics, the station has a reputation for turning out some of the best helmsmen the fleet has seen in recent history. Station 11 also runs, under the guidance and urging of General Leoffe, a weapons development program called Lepus that seeks to develop the strength of cerulean-typical mind-altering psychic powers as a vast and formidable power that may be used for the furtherance of Imperial fleet conquest.

-- palteringCecutiency [PC] began trolling martyrsLegacy [ML] --

PC: Good evening, Kankri. PC: I hope I'm not interrupting? ML: Of course not! ML: How are you? PC: ...I suppose 'confused' would be accurate. PC: Which I must admit is why I have taken your attention from where it is focused. ML: What is it can I help with?

ML: Goodness I'm not certain where the confusion is. ML: Although I wish your opinion of yourself were higher ):B PC: I know you do. PC: But what do you mean 'where is the confusion'? PC: It's all over the place. PC: He likes me because I'm a blunt, not entirely trollish asshole with a deathwish. PC: ???? ML: He likes you~ PC: /As a friend, Kankri./ ML: Oh yes certainly I can see where you may get that impression PC: What the hell do you mean by that?? PC: He said as much, should I go grab that part as well? ML: No, no, I believe he said that entirely PC: Good. ML: I'm glad you have people with whom you share things I cannot relate to, or at least a person. ML: How /is/ your club with the other Helmsmen going? PC: ...it's certainly unexpected. PC: It's going well enough, I suppose. PC: Meetings have become less frequent with things coming up so often, but they do still happen. ML: You would think I of all people would want to be something else... PC: I wouldn't. PC: You're quite sure of yourself, it is other people's opinion of you that you have problems with. ML: (:B That's sweet of you Psii ML: I think his enjoyment of your company is quite straight forward, he simply enjoys someone he can empathize with PC: It's hardly sweet, just the truth. c: PC: ...mm. Those traits are hardly ones I'd think would be ideal for empathizing with. ML: Likely why hes had trouble finding someone to do so with PC: That's not what I meant, Kankri. ML: Oh? PC: I do not understand why one would be delighted to find someone who shared those traits. PC: They're nothing to be celebrated. PC: And his leaning towards being something untrollish is rooted in joy rather than PC: However I would describe my situation that would not make you frown with worry. ML: Mm. It represents a coping mechanism that is outdated, an escape and release you no longer enjoy and the only joy that you experianced during a very bad time in your life. Or am I wrong? PC: ...you aren't, no. PC: ...there's been PC: discussion PC: idle prodding at an idea more than anything solid PC: about creating a non-invasive helm. ML: I'm worried that you will lose yourself and all progress you've made, if you have the option to disconnect from the world that way. PC: ...as am I. PC: And those concerns have been voiced, I have made sure. PC: Which is why they remain ideas so far. PC: But PC: you should know. ML: Thank you for telling me ML: For what its worth, Mituna ML: I hope that you become sure enough in your own mind that returning to something beautiful that you loved becomes a feasable thing that will not harm you. PC: Thank you. PC: ...I do too. PC: I want to be a troll but PC: I cannot say I do not miss it. ML: Even were you to log in for the rest of your life, you would still be a troll. PC: Ah, PC: I know, I wasn't. Trying to say I wouldn't be. PC: I PC: It's PC: more what I consider my body. PC: If, that makes sense. PC: I'm sorry, I doubt you want to hear this. ML: I don't want you to ever believe you can't talk to me about something, even if I don't directly understand it through my own experiances. ML: It does make sense, you had the body of a starship for a very long time. PC: It is not your understanding I worry about, it is your horror. PC: I PC: can't remember what is viscerally upsetting and what garners no reaction, and I fall far too easily into casual speech with it. PC: I do not want this to plague your thoughts any more than it already does. ML: I am not as delicate as you believe me to be PC: It is not a matter of you being delicate, it is the material being appalling. ML: Of course its appalling, you were abused untill your only refuge was to escape your body so often and thoroughly that you've disassociated from it. ML: I do not however think less of you, and I am unharmed, and you are greatly helped, by being able to speak freely PC: ...can you promise me that you'll stop me if I cross a line? PC: Any line, this is not something you need to be all noble about. ML: I will, Psii, I promise. ML: Although I did grow up with you, I like to think I have an idea of how you ramble when you get going PC: Of that I have little doubt. PC: ...I just do not want to hurt you, or make you worry or concerned for me. PC: ...more than I already have. ML: I think ML: Given that I am the reason this happened to you. ML: I can stand to know the things which are not terribly pretty. PC: You are /not/ the reason. PC: I have /never/ thought that, not /once/. PC: Because it is as far from truth as something can get. ML: We appear to have a differing of opinion PC: If by opinion you are speaking of your guilt. PC: Which is baseless no matter which way you look at this. PC: Even if we take out the fact that I went /willingly/ with you despite being quite aware of the consequences, and the part where the Empire and Her decided my fate not you, and the part where the Demoness enabled them to do so, there is also the minor fact that after your death, I was returned to /Ampora/. PC: The rig had nothing to do with you. ML: I lead you, and I ML: I knew I would die, Psii ML: That the path with greatest hope lay that way ML: But I did not know what they would do to you, or mother, or Dissy PC: And am telling you that I do not care if you didn't know. PC: I wouldn't care if you /did/ know. PC: I certainly wouldn't care if /I/ knew. PC: I would do anything for you, Kankri. PC: /Anything/. PC: There are no exceptions to that statement. ML: ):B ML: I would like a cuddle. PC: Your block or mine? ML: I would enjoy the opertunity to allow your cats to become more used to me PC: And I'm certain they will enjoy you as well. PC: Things will be ready for snuggles by the time you are here.
