Princes are active destroying classes. There is not too much more to the class than the utter destruction of and through their aspect they bring. More specifically, Princes can also actively obstruct and deny their aspect, causing it to be shrouded or neutralized. The inverse of the Prince is a Sylph, a passive creation class. The Prince actively destroys and obliterates their aspect to usher in their opposing aspect passively and with guidance.

The Light aspect is about information, illumination, and fortune. It is, in short, everything known and visible to the waking world. In the words of infinitywhale: “Light is everything, but just everything.” This, unlike its opposite Void which deals with secrecy and nothing, does not allow it to be much. However, Light players are very skillful at seeing what is going on around them, and are known to be very perceptive. Light is all that is known, and simply all that is. Because of this, it is often associated with fortuity and fortuitous outcomes, as it deals with what is apparent, disclosed, and perceivable (similar to “playing with ones cards face up.”).

The Prince of Light is the active destroyer of illumination and fortune. They take what is known and they crush it, obscuring it, if their ability as a prince is shrouding then they do it doubly so, shrinking what one is aware of back into the depths, making everything a mystery, and making it difficult for anyone to know anything. They also decimate luck in their grasp, leaving everyone with misfortune. The inverse, Sylph of Void, means that they passively provide the unknown, the void, as a function of decimating light. If one wanted to get more literal, a Prince of Light could literally destroy light, leaving only darkness.

Thieves are active allocation classes. Primarily, Thieves are known best for allocating their aspect to themselves to maintain dominance over it and their surroundings. Quite often, Thieves tend to be zealous with their hoarding and a little bit selfish, and usually have internal complexes about control due to this need for dominance, but this may or may not always ring true for a Thief. Certainly, though, the amounts to which they steal their aspect are enormous. Thieves also do not always simply allocate primarily to the self; many times they actively distribute their aspect among their peers, or even to their enemies (with commonly negative aspects such as Doom or Rage). The inverse of the Thief class is a Page, which employs passive exploitation. Thieves accomplish the role of their inverse by allocating their aspect from an area to another place, draining the area of its abundance, causing there to be only the opposing aspect left, which is then passively used and exploited.

The Heart aspect is all about the self: who you are and what you feel independent of what you do and think. Heart is centered around the “self” of things: core, the inner nature of things, and individuality. Heroes of Heart are said to “walk the path of self.” Heart deals with what you feel and what you are, and tears down the facades that its opposite Mind uses to conceal and deceive. Where Mind favors thought and action, Heart values the worth of people and things as they are, as opposed to how they could be. It deals with one’s inclinations and feelings towards certain things, emotion, and truth of being. Heart represents the individual, our inner passions, and what defines us as people.

Thief of Heart is the active allocation class of the self. They Thief of Heart would likely actively take all concept of self, removing all personality and individuality and bringing all of it onto themselves, allowing for them to develop a strong personality while everyone else operates purely on basis of logic and hides their true selves between layers of facades. One could also assume they’d literally physically steal souls, possibly taking them into themselves to give themselves more power. The inverse is Page of Mind, meaning that the thief can exploit the logic and basis of action left behind in the absence of emotion and personality.

Hello! I was wondering if you possibly still have any version of this list: "FOR CHOCO & I GUESS WHO EVER ELSE IS A ROLEPLAY BLOG AND WANTS TO KNOW SOME PLACES TO FIND THINGS TO REBLOG AS CHARACTER INTERESTS BUT HATES TAG SURFING CAUSE IT SUCKSUNDER A READ MORE ‘CAUSE LONG POST WITH LOTS OF LINKS" The last reblog is from months ago, so I'm guessing no, but it can't hurt to ask! ^w^

Ah! I’m sorry, friend, I haven’t made an updated version of that and wasn’t really planning to. Most of the older links should still work though! 3:

Seers are passive understanding classes. Since they only understand their aspect thoroughly, Seers are unable to change or affect their aspect in any way. But, the Seer’s inverse is the Witch, granting them much power and control over their opposing aspect coupled with their already lengthy passive understanding of their own aspect. The way Mages and Seers function is through their inverse: understanding the “mold” that their aspect takes the shape of, they accomplish a change in their opposite aspect to fit with this mold. It is in this way that Seers such as Rose or Terezi effected great change in the way of their opposing aspect, all the while helping their team with their already-present understanding of their own.

The Void aspect is all about secrets, the obfuscation of knowledge, and nothingness. Void represents absence, and what is hidden, unseen, or unknown. To quote infinitywhale on this: “Void is nothing, but that lets it be a lot.” This definitely holds true for Void, because Void’s secret and covert nature give off an air of uncertainty, which can link to potential or better. Void’s opposite is Light, which deals with information, reality, and what is known, contrasting Void’s involvement with darkness and shrouds. Void is also the domain of the Horrorterrors, abyssal beings that reside past the Furthest Ring.

The knower of all things unknown, comprehender of the abyss and what lies within it, understander of nothingness. The Seer of Void is the passive understanding class of void, the aspect of absence, emptiness, secrets and hidden meanings lying beneath the surface. The Seer of Void would be able to access mediums and come to understand what is unknown to most, the stories that are hidden among the darkness. They would inevitably be able to learn of all secrets being kept, of everything being disguised and left unexplained. They would also be capable of comprehending misfortune. Their inverse is Witch of Light. Understanding the nature of secrets and having access to this private information would allow them to make important decisions about what to change and how to fit the form of the void. They could use their understanding to actively change the present and obvious information so that certain components are highlighted. They would have major influence once they were able to tap into the secrets that lie Beneath.

Just this weekend I saw one of the most amazing plays. It's called Oblivion and it was written by Carly Mensch. I went in with a vague description of it, and was intrigued when the main character began asking her friend why everyone was so interested in sex and if he thought she was a freak. I was completely taken aback when (SPOILERS!) in the second act, she confirmed that she was canonically asexual. I was stunned. In the rest of the 2nd act I was grinning ear to ear. Please look up this play!

Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!

whatnames2 replied to your post: Pretty fucking impressive twists EDIT:...

Bless your soul I couldn’t get it on mobile anywhere

Mobile devices don't support Flash! Usually. There are apps like Photon Browser that work around it, but they're universally terrible.

Whenever people don't believe me about my asexuality I accidentally absorb them with ice cream cake. Is this a normal response or should I use googly eyes instead???

use googly eyes instead

That was very helpful thank you! One quick question: Are there any specific livestream/skype/etc links I should know about as of now or is that further down the line?

Further down the line~ 

On Prom Night, we'll open a page of fresh linxxx on the blog, that prom-goers can submit to and find others through~
