Could you do a Muse of Void?
Muse of Void? Not often you see someone using the Muse, but this’ll be fun anyways.
The Muse of Void is probably not overly social by nature, but still enjoys interaction. They excel at Void, keeping secrets, hiding things, cancelling things, and perhaps brewing up alcoholic beverages. However, as much as they enjoy doing these things, they hold no value to the Muse to begin with. They understand Void fairly well to start off, and pursue it openly, but only because they’ve long had a sense of something important coming from that path. For Calliope, the Muse of Space, she always had a vision of her turning the Green Sun into a black hole, though all she knew was the shape of it. For the Muse of Void, perhaps they might simply feel like they see something important every time they closed their eyes, or more accurately, they see a great event with Void. And since the Void has no form, the lack of vision could easily be their own vision. However, that’s only one possibility of many. That’ll be different from Muse of Void to Muse of Void.
Reeling it in from that tangent, even with their premonition, they initially don’t value Void much. They do value almost all other aspects, with the exception of Light. They couldn’t give you much of a reason for this dislike, Light just rubs them the wrong way.
As they begin to progress, the Muse of Void will most likely begin to be isolated. Not for any particular reason, it’s just that Void will pop up in one of it’s many forms over time, until it surrounds them completely. This will be a small grace for them, as Light will be prevalent in their environment. As these bits of Void pop up, much like malfunctioning areas in a Portal game, they lead the Muse to paths and methods that the more linear Light environment would mask.
These paths would begin to teach them something about Void that had been previously missing to them, perhaps that the unknown isn’t necessarily useless. An escape from the Light. And as they recognize the value of Void, they begin to notice connections between Light and Void, how the absence of Void is Light, and the absence of Light is Void.
Eventually, they’ll begin to realize the true meaning of their premonition, and work towards it. Even if they have to abandon many things they held dear, they will continue towards what they have always known to be their destiny. And with its completion, they will be a very potent Void player, able to bring new meaning to nothingness, and exercise every aspect of Void like no other.
Powerwise, the Muse of Void can do pretty much anything the Muse of Void would consider doing. They lack an instinctual knowledge of their powers like many other classes have, but this is largely because their powers depend on how they have come to define Void. For Calliope, Space was always about Art, and so her powers were exercised around the color wheel.
Writing them, you’re pretty free to do whatever, so long as you keep this desc in mind. Muse’s aren’t well established, and as a class, there’s not much that can be generalized. Just be sure they have their share of trials and solutions.
