Could you do a general analysis on a Prince of Doom? Also awesome new blog! :)

well, this is six months late, but hey, at least i’m doing it now!

so a prince is the active destruction class. most people agree that they tend to “ghost” their opposite aspect as a result of destroying their own aspect, but they do it in a way that’s still ultimately in line with their own. the easiest way to tell which aspect they are, in my opinion, is to look at their view of the world. one of our canon princes, for example - dirk, the prince of heart, seems pretty mind-y at first, but you can tell from his struggles with and focus on the self that he’s a heart player! i think in most cases princes simply dislike their aspect and want to get rid of it, but this desire usually comes from viewing themselves as inadequate in some way. they want what the opposite aspect has, why can’t they be like that?

doom is the aspect of rules/limitations, structure, fate, and sacrifice. it’s the acceptance to life’s refusal to give up. doom and life both involve rules and adaptation - life breaks rules and adapts in order to change the game, while doom generally works within rules and adapts to them, finding a way to do what they want while staying within the system of rules they’re confined to. this doesn’t apply perfectly to every class, of course - witches of doom would change the rules, though still not technically breaking them.

princes of doom, on the other hand, would break the rules. they’re striving to be more like a life player, so they act like one. they’d definitely be the type to go against authority figures, but along with refusing limits as they come, they’d probably also go out of their way to break rules, even when it’s not really necessary. they’re a rebel for sure, causing problems and disorder wherever they go. they hate being told what they can and can’t do.

the fact of the matter, though, is that they aren’t a life player. their aspect is doom, whether they like it or not. they’re never going to be able to change that about themselves no matter how hard they try. instead, they should accept it. this is the case for all princes, but especially for this one, with doom’s focus on acceptance and sacrifice. they essentially need to learn not to destroy the good parts of doom, to appreciate them and understand that they’re necessary while eliminating the bad parts both for their own benefit and for the benefit of their team.

powerways, the prince is a force to be reckoned with. the most immediately obvious application is breaking the rules of sburb itself. after all, it is a game - it relies on a system, and the prince could wreak havoc on that system in all sort of fun ways. maybe they’d destroy limits, allowing their attacks to do more damage than what should be possible. sprites are game constructs and also very associated with doom, so maybe they’d be able to kill them? i’m not sure why they’d do that, but hey, sburb sessions are weird, it might be needed somehow.

they could possibly even just straight up break the game, causing it to glitch or otherwise not function correctly. weaponizing glitches could be a powerful strategy, but they’d have to be careful not to do anything that would permanently damage the game so as to avoid making it unwinnable.

looking more at the fate aspect of doom, the prince could defy prophecies and anything else that’s supposedly destined to occur. they refuse to let anyone or anything decide their fate for them. if the session is doomed, they’ll be the one to find a way out, or even a way to somehow win anyway.they could also destroy with doom, using rules and restrictions against their enemies. maybe by imposing limits upon them and preventing them from doing certain things, otherwise they take damage? i feel like they could have some kind of effect, like… their attacks have a chance to doom the enemy, causing them to be fated to die.

i hope this is satisfactory! let me know if you have any more questions!!

Can I get a Prince of Doom analysis?

The Prince of Doom is someone who Destroys Rules, Restrictions, Inevitability, Futility, Obligations, Pessimism, Decay, and Lacking Energy. 

Princes of Doom are fervent people. They are filled to the brim with determined Energy and tend to be larger-than-life people, Powerful and Optimistic to a fault. They are constantly Changing and evolving, almost unable to stop things from influencing who they are and what they do; they are activists for Change and embody that wholly, expecting nothing to ever stand still.

They can be highly contradictory people as a result. They can rally everyone behind an idea for Change and Growth - and believe completely in this idea as the best way to attain what they Desire - but then utterly denounce that thing weeks or months later with scathing hatred. As soon as something is “out”, or has lost its spark, or even slightly hinders the cause for Progression, the Prince of Doom will show no mercy in Destroying that which they once saw as their sole cause. 

They are headstrong and wild, and stubborn as anything. There’s no stopping this force of nature - someone who’s so highly opinionated it might be hard to get a word in edge-wise, or who might quickly shut you down if you go against their cause - and they will almost inevitably take on some sort of leadership role. 

They will always be at the head of the pack with vigour and determination, and will have no trouble rallying people behind them - whether they’re right or wrong. They imbue people with their natural Energy, too - and as a result, they can quickly form mob-like groups that are highly reactive and highly dangerous. 

Naturally, this comes with issues. There’s no Limiting the Prince of Doom, and no way to hold them back; they throw themselves into things wholeheartedly, and that sheer force of will can knock down anyone who stands in their way. They aren’t scared to stomp over anyone who hinders their Progress, and will spend an excessive amount of time trying to convert people to their cause. 

They might also be a bit… much. They’re hard to handle, hard to talk to, and hard to ignore - and they can be incredibly brutal if things stand in their way. They have the potential to be cutthroat, and they truly have no idea when to give up; in their mind, there is no giving up - there’s only push onwards to the end Goal at the cost of everything else. 

They also have no capacity to deny themselves anything. If they want it, it’s theirs - end of discussion. 

In Destroying their Aspect, Princes tend to leave only the purest form of their Aspect’s opposite in its place; in this instance, by Destroying Doom the Prince leaves only Life. This means they have an overabundance of Life, however, and that can become quickly toxic.

The Prince of Doom will Destroy every Rule and Restriction that stands in their way, from actual legalities that stop them from doing certain things - such as money laundering - to things that exist in everyday life that might stop them from Growing - such as people who are dragging them back. They have no guilt for doing this, and are ironically accepting of the Sacrifices they have to make in the name of Growth. 

The Destruction of Obligations and Inevitability can naturally have incredibly dangerous consequences. The Prince of Doom is bound to nothing and no-one; they are highly unlikely to keep up with contracts, to accept that something is dead and done, to give in when everyone else has been told no. 

They refuse to accept that Inevitability is a thing, and thus (especially in a game like SBURB) won’t actually play their part in things that have to happen. If they are required to do something, they’ll fight against it, and they will utterly refuse to accept that certain things are impossible, or can’t be avoided.

This can become an issue in SBURB. They are the Player most likely to screw up Paradoxes and Stable Timeloops, simply because they Destroy the Inevitability of the concept. This’ll be a session that struggles to make things like Ectobiology and Frog Breeding work as a result, since both require Paradoxification, and one that will have to fight tooth and nail to actually Godtier. 

 Well, either that, or the Prince will force everyone to Godtier upon realisation that it’s the next step in their Progression - whether the Player is ready to Godtier or not. 

Of course, there are significant benefits to the Prince of Doom’s Destruction. They can destroy the Pessimism in any Player, and can imbue them with a sense of Energy that makes them far more active in the session than they normally would have been. This can make it one of the most productive sessions possible! Everyone will be running around with nigh-endless Energy, and with absolutely no Rules or Restrictions holding them back from doing what they need or Want to do. 

But this comes with consequences, too. Such ferver can quickly reach a fever pitch, and people can completely lose their morals if the Prince isn’t careful. It’d be like Trickstermode but much bloodier, with people being all too willing to break conventional Rules (such as robbing or murder) for their own Progression and Growth. 

This can be taken as darkly as you can imagine, although this is never going to be the Prince’s intention - chances are, they just wanted people to have the power to do what needed doing. 

On top of this, Princes of Doom have the ability to destroy Decay. This isn’t quite Healing, but it isn’t not, at the same time. They can, for instance, get rid of the rust from a blade with a wave of their hand, but it might be that the actual body of the blade isn’t Healed. 

They could also destroy a poison flowing through someone’s veins, but they wouldn’t be able to Heal what’s already been damaged - so, while they could stop the heart from taking even more damage, they can’t really fix it. 

Of course, part of the issue is that Death is more of a Time-based aspect. Once something is Dead, the Prince of Doom has no power over it. Using the heart example, they can “Heal” the Decay in each cell and keep the person alive that way - but if the cells are already Dead, or if the person themself is Dead, then there’s nothing they can do. In that sense, Destroying Decay would probably outright destroy the remains.

It would take a lot of work for a Prince of Doom to be able to “Heal”, and would likely be a late-game ability. So long as there is some form of Life still left, the Prince of Doom can “Heal”. 

To become a Realised Player, the Prince of Doom needs to understand that some Doom is acceptable. There are some Rules that need to stay in place, some Inevitabilities that really do need to be Inevitable. They have to understand that Acceptance doesn’t always stop Growth, but that it can stop bad or chaotic Growth - and that Stagnation in some areas is important. 

They’ll start to calm down a little. They’ll recognise that their Energy can’t be spread around so widely, and that focusing it on some areas is a good idea. Some things will Decay as a result, but the things they need to focus on will Flourish in ways they’ve never seen before. 

They’ll also, in some cases, become a little bit more Accepting. They’ll start letting go of things they can’t win, or that should be left to Rot. They’ll start fulfilling their Obligations and - at least in some situations - will accept the Futility of an action. This will make them a little more down and dour, and they might not be entirely happy about this at first, but they’ll slowly become more and more Accepting as time passes. 

In other words, they’ll still be filled with boundless Energy, but they’ll be directing it towards the things that matter, ensuring that Growth happens without going wild. They’ll lose that Energy for things they can’t focus on, and may just become a little more reserved when they have to face Acceptance (the sort of Doom sourness that always follows the Inevitable).

Hey Scar! How've you been dude?

Graeeee I've been pretty okaayyy how are youu

[god-tier-aesthetics]

Could you do an analysis of a Prince of Doom?

I sure can try!

PRINCE: one who destroys aspect, or destroys through aspect

DOOM: fate, death, sadness, limits, rules

So, this Prince is actually a really useful one to have on your team! One who can destroy fate, death, sadness? Amazing! Just imagine it - this Prince could destroy doomed timelines to avoid the session ending up like those. The Prince could destroy limitations and rules set by the game - opening up a world of new possibilities for them and their team. This player is the burning book rebel, reckless, full of energy and reject any rules or limitations placed on them by outright breaking them. They can make others optimistic, even frantic, by destroying the things that limit or restrict them. They free people from their any emotional, mental or even physical barriers that they perceive, even if a person doesn’t want to be set free and are comfortable within their limits! Incredible, right? Especially in SBurb.

Prior to god tiering, this person might be one who just doesn’t care about rule or law. They think it fun to find any loophole in the law, to find any way to sneak under the radar while still doing some crazy, half-illegal act. They don’t like to be held down by rules or regulations - they might not even wear a seatbelt. Ha! However, this player would hate being told no or that they can’t do something, but are more likely to simply destroy or kill the person who said no then prove them otherwise. They’d find any way to get around rules - and make damn sure nobody ever doubts their ability if it’s the last thing they do.

A good land for this title would be Land of Gates and Cities [LOGAC]

A good strife specibus for this title would be bombkind, flamethrowerkind, etc! Crazy outrageous things.

Overall, this title is pretty wild and crazy and can be hard to trust - but their abilities will come in handy no doubt in the session.

Arc words for a Prince of Doom?

“Listen up, Simon. Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!”
