what is theif of doom?

By stealing the death, failure or catastrophe from something, the Thief of Doom can basically guarantee success

They could allow people to live through awkward situations simply by taking the death away from something

In addition they can take away failure and impending cataclysmic events so that they won’t even happen, though this might require a fair bit of power

Snapshot Characters: Thief of Void, Seer of Light

[Part 1]

When I arrived, I could hear Kasumi's music through her headphones. My eyes were pretty good, so I didn't need a flashlight to see her or the brick house she was leaning against. I could also see a hole torn in the fence beside the building, leading directly to the forest. Kasumi never wore her glasses. I didn't know how she got around without them.

"Hey, Kasumi."

She smirked.

"You ready?"

She nodded and checked the time on her phone, probably out of habit, because we both knew time didn't mean much on this planet. It's gonna rain," she said. "Soon."

"Shouldn't be too bad even if it rains a bit."

Kasumi shrugged and crouched down, creeping around the corner to the front door. She was almost impossible to make out in the darkness, even with my good vision. After a bit of silence I heard a faint click.

I'm as subtle as the sun, so I waited outside and phoned her instead of joining her. I hoped she would turn her volume down. I didn't want my voice to carry through her headphones.

"Yeah, this is the place," I said into the mic, sitting against the brick wall. "It's on the... second floor. And when you get to the staircase, stay on the left cause they creak around the middle. You said you've seen this type of rosary before, so it shouldn't be too hard to find."

I checked the timer on my phone. I was not supposed to ask questions -- that's part of our policy -- but I did wonder about some of these jobs. This one was a wooden rosary. Probably something sentimental, or maybe magical. Esoterics always paid the most.

Kasumi didn't care as much about money. She came for the secrets. I could see her now: She was probably taking a detour of his room, rifling through his files, or judging by the faint clicking sound coming from my headphones, checking his computer. Kasumi had a knack for finding good secrets. After some silence, I heard a muffled scraping sound from my headphones.

"Already?" I replied. "We're good on the escape. Just don't take too long."

Minutes passed. "...Kasumi?" 

"This rosary..." she whispered. A brushing sound.

"Who's there?" called an unknown voice. A thump.

I heard the shattering of glass both in my headphones and above me. Kasumi trailed out the window and landed in a sloppy shoulder roll, grunting in pain. She vaulted through the hole in the fence and sprinted into the woods before I could stand up. 

I could hear shouting from the house so I took off into the forest as well. I scanned the forest for Kasumi as I ran through, trying to follow signs of snapped twigs and trampled earth. I tried calling her, too, but it had been a few hours and I could not stay standing any longer.

How would a Knight of Doom and Thief of heart interact in a standard session?

99% depends on the personalities of those involved

One thief of heart might be somebody who takes the personas of other people to alter themselves, a malicious being who tries to piggyback on the knight of doom’s natural ability to exploit failure and death to bring them more souls

Maybe the knight of doom would be a stoic but ultimately single-minded warrior, always making sure that no death or failure goes without a lesson or without an advantage. So the knight of doom, coming across this malicious thief of heart, would seek to purify them and the aborated souls they possess 

Alternately: 

This thief of heart might copy the attributes of others to benefit themselves, to become the best possible person they can be. Taking in solitude and creating golems in their likeness to search out virtuous traits in others, so that they can improve themselves and reach enlightenment. 

And maybe this knight of doom is an erratic and frayed individual. Maybe this knight of doom enjoys slaying others and causing destruction for no reason other than personal enjoyment. When this thief of heart comes across this knight of doom, maybe the thief will be angered by the knight’s disregard for life. this thief is unable to take attributes from the dead. so the thief may call upon their golem-selves to destroy the knight of doom, to prevent them from spreading any more destruction

SoInteractions between different titles really depend on the personalities of those involved more than the titles themselves

If a Thief of Time when up against a Knight of Rage and a Prince of mind, do they have half a chance in hell?

I like to think that unless you’re a non-god-tiered page, everyone is relatively equal in combat, if they’re equal in terms of personal growth + combat skill, most titles will equal each other out

Thief of Time vs a Knight of Rage and Prince of Mind would be difficult because it’s 2v1 but if the Thief was more in tune with their powers they can turn the tides

Stealing time from the Knight or Prince would allow the Thief to basically remove one or both of them from any time period, or steal their speed to accelerate themselves and do whatever they want really

Knight of Rage might have something planned beforehand, however, that would make the thief unable to properly use their powers [Fury makes them reckless, intimidation makes them incompetent, etc]

Prince of Mind, if able to get a clear grasp of the Thief at all, could just completely destroy the thief’s ability to think or do anything

So it kind of depends on who gets the shot in first, but even if slowed down a Prince might still be able to melt the thief’s mind and the thief might be able to instinctively move themselves to a different timeframe to recover from the prince’s effects
