What are your thoughts on a Derse Thief of Blood?

Thief of [Blood]:

Allocate - Too Little Value towards Blood

A player who craves [Responsibilities and Camaraderie] due to a lack of it, and thus actively takes it from others, hoarding [Promises and Relationships] to benefit themself and/or their circumstances

A Thief of Blood lacks responsibilities and camaraderie in their life, resulting in a fierce desire to possess such things for themself and leading to them not understanding the value of promises and relationships, as they take responsibilities and camaraderie from others and hoard it all to themself for their own benefit.

Thieves take their aspect, either craving it fiercely from their lack of it in their lives or simply because they like it, stealing and hoarding it all for themselves and their own personal benefit. Despite their outward confidence with their aspect, they often take it at face-value without learning of its true value, being unsatisfied with how much of their aspect they hoard and craving more and more. Their challenge is to focus less on attaining and more on learning about the value their aspect, as well as to let others have their aspect and learning why it is important to others.

Inverse Classpect Analysis of Thief

Thief of Blood: Blood (Promises, Responsibilities, Relationships, Camaraderie) is acted upon. Too little value towards aspect gives means to allocate it away from others, taking it for care of the self.

Inverse: Page of Breath

Breath (Impulse, Adaptable, Freedom, Independence) passively utilizes itself in the Thief as they actively undervalue Blood (Promises, Responsibilities, Relationships, Camaraderie) to take it.

Skill of Breath (Impulse, Adaptable, Freedom, Independence) is used as the Thief undervalues Blood (Promises, Responsibilities, Relationships, Camaraderie) to take it.

This is the base analysis. I do not take Lunar Sway into account when doing these; I prefer to leave it up to the individual how their Lunar Sway may affect their classpect, as Lunar Sway is quite vague and there can be a great number of interpretations!

The analysis written above is my own writing, analysis, and thoughts. The statements are my own analysis, but they may function as a “fill in the blank” statement for you to create your own interpretation of the classpect as you please.

Like all the classes, the Thief is a class that can make or break a session.

Thieves take from others, but the question to ask is, why does the Thief take? And why, once they have taken, do they continue to take?

While the Knowing classes "Experience" their aspect, and the Changer classes "Embody" their aspect, the Allocator classes, Thieves and Rogues, "Value" their aspect. However, contrary to how they act, the Rogue values their aspect too much, and the Thief values their aspect too little.

A Thief can take for a lot of reasons, but ultimately, I reasoned it down to two things:

The Thief takes their aspect because they do not value their aspect;

The Thief does not know how to value their aspect, so they take it.

Like the Seer, the Thief is surrounded by their inverse aspect, and severely lacks their true aspect. Unlike the Seer, they do not take the time to study their true aspect, instead focusing solely on obtaining it.

Thieves are dissatisfied with something they lack in their lives, so they take the thing they want from others. But when this does not mitigate the dissatisfaction, they think the problem is that they don't have enough of it. They take more and more to try and fill in this missing element in their lives, all without taking the time to slow down and examine what they've already taken in the first place.

The value of their aspect is what they crave, but they do not know how to value it, or even that they do not value it.

A Thief is frantic; once they have what they want, they don't look at it anymore, and wonder why their lives are still so unsatisfactory.

To all Thieves out there: slow down. Take the time to look at what you've come to possess. Let yourself learn its true value. There will always be more of it should you lose what you have.

Apologies that this is a late answer. I believe any classpect can make a successful session. It's simply a matter of if the player overcomes their challenge in time to do so. If I may be opinionated, thieves have one of the hardest challenges.
