welly well, a new classpecting blog? means i must come to you to ask if you could possibly do a analysis on a Mage of Breath, if its not too much
You know it pal!!!!! I'm happy to be joining the group of classpectors (is that even what we are called? Who knows!)
I've got alot of Mage asks! So this may be repetitive!!!!! But that's not a problem for me bc I love talking about any class!!!!
Mages, in homestuck canon, are speculated and classified as an active called and often called the class that knows about their aspect or knows about their aspect for themselves. It's counterpart is Heir, if im correct. There are only two known canon mages; Sollux Captor (Mage of Doom) and Meulin Leijon (Mage of Heart).
Breath is all about freedom, going with the flow and where ever the wind takes you! The extended zodiac describes breath bound players as flexible and expansove, never tied down to one thing and pretty easy going people depending on their class! This players lead by example, and are hard to die down.
Noww!! This is where it gets fun!
Mages are a very interesting class, and seem to be prone to losing one of their senses. This is seen as Sollux losing his sight and Meulin going deaf, but that may just be a coincidence. Interesting thoug! What's also very neat about them is that Mage's seem to tend to... I guess one could say forfeit their aspect in order to learn about their aspect. This is seen in Sollux actively leading his team away from doomed timeliness, even evading death to only being half dead; as well as seen in Meulin being good with romance but her own romantic endeavors being full of... issues to say the least !!!!! Mages gain knowledge but God at what cost.
If this is an actual trend in all Mages, then it's very likely a Mage of Breath would struggle with freedom, though likely with having too much of it. They'd be incredibly apathetic, never stuck in one place or interested in one thing for long. Similar to rufioh and his flurry of relationships maybe! They'd probably want to be able to settle down and chill out, but they may struggle with letting themselves. Maybe their lives have been turned upside down over and over so being fast and flying with the wind is all they know because nothing deep or meaningful can stay in their experiences.
Mages make me very sad sometimes sigh. But I digress !
Mages of Breath would be a very useful asset, as breath is all about direction too! A Mage of Breath, similar to seers, would be able to figure out and see which path their team needs to take to get them to their goal as best as they can, which is good!!! Who wouldn't love to have that foot in the door?
I hope this was helpful!!!!! :DD
