Classpects with a Prince of Void

I figured why not give the classpecting thing a try for myself. See if I can help anyone out. At this point in time, I can do personalities, powers, quadrants/relationships, and sessions.

Announcement

So, long time no see, guys. Sorry I disappeared for like, a week or so. Life got in my way, and I ended up losing motivation for a while. Normally this is where I say I’d rush to answer all the asks and open the ask box again and have renewed vigor. But, I don’t think it’d be wise for me to do that right now. I’m in the last month and a half of the school year so I’m swamped with homework, and I’ve got some drama and personal business that needs to be sorted out before I can get my mind in order. Therefore, while it really, really pains me to say it, I’m declaring a hiatus. I have a number of asks still in my inbox, so I’ll answer those over the next week or so, so as to not keep anyone waiting like a complete asshole. I’m really sorry that I have to do this, but I really would like to avoid becoming completely overwhelmed by life. I’m sure you guys must be pretty irritated or disappointed with me, and I’m sorry. But I felt this would be best for my own good.

Quadrants for Mage of Life if you can

Alright, here are some quadrants for the Mage of Life.

Moirail: Prince of Rage. The Prince of Rage is a very calming person to be around. They destroy Rage, after all. The aspect of fear, insecurity, anger, and other negative emotions. This is useful because the Mage of Life is probably either quite hyperactive or extremely lethargic, though more likely the latter. They’ve been put into a position of extreme paranoia and insecurity due to their poor experiences with Life, the aspect of energy, growth, rebellion, and literal life. Life hasn’t treated them kindly, and so they have come to cope by either presenting themselves with a ton of Life or none of it at all. The Prince is a soothing person to be around, and can help calm the Mage’s paranoia and anxiety. Meanwhile the Mage, due to their knowledge of Life, can help calm the Prince’s deep internal anger, particularly when that anger flares up and causes the Prince to lash out.

Matesprit: Bard of Hope. The Bard of Hope and Mage of Life actually have a decent amount of things in common, believe it or not. They’re both paranoid people who don’t really have all that much enthusiasm towards life. These two are probably the kind of couple to mostly just stay inside. Stay at home movie dates, or something like that. Of course, they may also have a number of disagreements. Life and Hope as aspects have a bit of a complicated relationship. These two get along well and probably have similar lifestyles, but the Bard is still a Bard and can be a bit disagreeable sometimes.

Kismesis: Sylph of Doom. The Sylph of Doom is a VERY meddlesome person. They like to micromanage everything. They like being in charge. The Mage of Life, meanwhile, is probably more the type to just take things as they come and go with the flow. The Mage’s relaxed lifestyle will aggravate the Sylph, and the Sylph’s meddlesome personality will annoy the Mage. There’s not that much to say about this relationship. It’s the typical “bossy, aggressive person and lazy person” relationship. Except instead of being like the archetype in movies and having them realize their true love for each other, this is a little more realistic and thus they’ll probably really hate each other.

There you go, quadrants for the Mage of Life!

Maid of heart?

Alright, the Maid of Heart. Let’s check them out.

The Maid is the active creation class. They create or create with their aspect. So the Maid of Heart would create or create with Heart. The passive counterpart is the Sylph of Heart, and the inverse is the Bard of Mind.

So, Maids usually start out not being independent with their aspect. They rely on those around them for it. The Maid of Heart would rely on others for Heart. They’re probably the sort of person who gets pushed around a lot. If someone wants them to do something, they do it. If someone thinks they should feel a certain way, they’ll feel that way. They’d probably be the sort of person who gets pushed into things like arranged dates and the like. Eventually, however, they would gain independence with Heart. They’d do things for themselves instead of being a doormat. They would take initiative with their feelings, and have a much stronger sense of identity, but they wouldn’t just disregard what others had to say either.

In terms of powers, the Maid of Heart can create Heart. Heart is the aspect of identity, emotions, love, sense of self, and the soul. The Maid of Heart would be able to help others make the same sort of journey they themselves went through. Helping other people gain sense of self and do things for themselves. Allowing others to stop being doormats. They could create emotions as well. This is actually a rather scary ability. They could, with a bit of manipulation, make people feel something. A villainous Maid of Heart could turn out to be a master manipulator, using a combination of charisma and their abilities to make people do and feel whatever the Maid wanted. Essentially reducing others to where the Maid once was. On a more benevolent side of things, they could create love. Pretty self-explanatory. Platonic love, romantic love, etc. They’re basically a master of working with quadrants, for example, once they’re developed. They’re a good matchmaker. And if the relationship they set up doesn’t work? They can make it work. Finally, they can create soul. I’m envisioning things like blasts of soul energy, or giving a soul to things that don’t have it, or don’t have enough of it. If they worked with a Life player, they might even be able to create meaningful life. Things with both a soul and life. I’d say this is the greatest thing the Maid of Heart is capable of, but it would require a Life player and possibly a Void and Space player as well.

And there’s the Maid of Heart. A powerful hero or a frightening villain, they’re not to be underestimated by any means.

Hi again! If you haven't done it yet, can you please analyze what a Rogue of Light would be like? Thank you, and take all the time you need! :D

Alright then, the Rogue of Light! Here’s an interesting title.

The Rogue is the passive stealing class. They steal their aspect and give it to others. Therefore, the Rogue of Light would steal Light for the use of others. The active counterpart is the Thief of Light, and the inverse is the Knight of Void.

Rogues feel dissatisfied with their aspect at the beginning. It’s not good enough, or something’s missing, or they don’t like their relationship with it. Things like that. They’re usually very selfless people who would rather give than receive. The antithesis of their active counterpart, the Thief. However, Light is a bit of an asshole aspect sometimes. Light players are almost always rather arrogant. Maybe it’s just feeling like they’re a little better than everyone else, or maybe it’s a full-on god complex. The Rogue of Light is a little tricky to pin down personality-wise for this reason. But they’d certainly be dissatisfied with Light. Maybe they feel like they don’t know enough, or like they aren’t important. Maybe they feel horribly unlucky. Of course, it’s up for debate whether these complaints about their aspect are actually justified, and it depends on the person in question. The Rogue of Light would be a bit arrogant and condescending, but on the more humble end of Light players. They may have a bit of a superiority complex, but they’re also likely fairly selfless and want everyone to be (relatively) equal. They want to be important, but they want everyone else to be important too. They like to acquire knowledge and share it with their friends. Of course, they will talk your ear off, as Light players are prone to doing. Light players love to talk, and they want to make sure everyone knows what they think and what they know. The Rogue is no different.

For powers, they can steal Light from others and give it to someone else. This has some interesting potential. They can steal luck from someone, and give it to someone else. They can also steal knowledge. Does someone know something they shouldn’t? Enemy got wind of your team’s plans? Oh dear. Let the Rogue of Light work their magic. The enemy will conveniently forget about it, and any teammates not in the loop get to be in the loop. The Rogue also could do a similar trick to many Light and Void players. Altering the attention on the battlefield. They aren’t as efficient with it as, say, a Witch, but it’s still a useful trick. They can take the attention and spotlight from one person and give it to someone else. For example, if the enemy was targeting your most valuable or powerful player, the Rogue could instead make it so that they could ignore said player, and focus on someone else. Lastly, I think the Rogue could steal literal light. Light is an aspect implied to have a connection to eyesight. Two canon Light players had “vision eightfold”, a vastly improved form of vision. That might’ve just been a blue-blood (or a Serket) thing, but I think it’s worth noting. And Aranea, the Sylph of Light, was able to heal Terezi’s eyesight. The Rogue could steal the vision of an enemy, and give it to an ally. If the Rogue, like the trolls, had a blind teammate, they could steal the eyesight of an enemy and grant vision to their friend. The Rogue of Light is a very useful support ally to have.

And there’s the Rogue of Light! Most Rogues have little offensive power in terms of what their classpect gives them, but they can be critical support teammates.

Ask box is officially open again, guys! I didn’t want to open it back up until the last two asks were finished, because those took a lot out of me.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

I have a session analysis request, but it's super big (10 players) so I understand if you choose not to do it. The players enter the session as two groups that worked against each other for a long time. Group one: Heir of Doom (the leader), Thief of Mind (Heir's right hand), Mage of Void (Heir's ex-partner), Maid of Space, Witch of Light (Maid's sister). Group two: Knight of Hope (the leader), Sylph of Time, Seer of Doom, Maid of Mind, Rogue of Breath (Maid's brother). Thank you!

Oh boy, this is a big one. This one’s been sitting in the inbox while I answered other asks at my slightly-faster-than-a-snail pace, and I’ve been thinking of how this session would turn out. I’m assuming that your players enter the session still working against each other, Let’s take a look at this clusterfuck of a session, shall we?

Heir of Doom, one who passively manipulates or is manipulated by Doom. Oftentimes becomes their aspect. This is a tough title to have, especially for the leader of one group. They’re a powerful player, despite the flaws. The rules always seem to bend around them, and they can bend the rules for their teammates too. But, eventually, they’re going to become Doom. This could mean a variety of things. They could become a reaper-like figure who spreads death wherever they go. They could become intrinsically connected to the fates of those around them. Or, most ominously, following Mituna Captor’s example and becoming sacrifice/death. Sacrificing their life, sanity, or some other critically important thing in order to save their teammates. Either way, tragedy is just waiting for the Heir of Doom. If they die, I would personally look to the Mage of Void or Maid of Space for leadership. The Witch of Light is an arrogant person, frankly kind of a know-it-all sometimes, and the Thief is… well, a Thief.

Thief of Mind, one who steals Mind for their own use. In a session fraught with difficulty, a huge clusterfuck of a Sburb game, this is one of the biggest problem players. Thieves are arrogant, selfish, and egotistical no matter the aspect. They are often widely disliked by teammates, but always advance the session in critical ways nobody else can. The Thief of Mind steals Mind, the aspect of logic, intellect, justice, and karma, for their own use. They’ll be one of the smartest players in the session, but at the cost of Mind for everyone else. This risks being critically problematic, especially if they should steal Mind from either the Heir or the Maid, who are the critical players on the Thief’s team.

Mage of Void, one who understands Void by experiencing it. So, this is either going to be a really useful player or someone who makes almost no impact at all, depending on the greater factors of the session. If it’s a session full of greater-scope shenanigans, such as the Furthest Ring and the Horrorterrors, the Mage of Void is one of your greatest assets. They know everything about the Void. They’re the eminent expert on anything Void-related. They know what secrets people have, and they can hide their secrets flawlessly. Personally, I’d hope for some greater-scope shenanigans in this session. Worth noting however is their prior relationship with the Heir. If they broke up on poor terms, and the relationship is still contemptuous, then the Heir may not want to listen to the Mage. The Mage’s advice falls on deaf ears, with few allies.

Maid of Space, one who creates/creates with Space. This is a great Space player to have. As your session’s Space player, they’re tasked with breeding the Genesis Frog and creating the new universe. They’re the creation class of the creation aspect, so frog breeding comes naturally to them. They’ll have an easy time with the most important job in the game. Or, they would, if your session’s Time player wasn’t on the opposing team…

Witch of Light, one who manipulates Light. And here’s your Witch. Witches are frankly overpowered players who almost always impact the session in huge ways. Combined with this being a Light player, the aspect whose players are always important to the session, the Witch will definitely be very important. I’m not entirely sure how they could impact the session. But Light is the aspect of knowledge, fortune, luck, and importance. The Witch will probably be a major boon due to the luck part in particular. They’ll be able to manipulate the amount of luck that teammates have. This is especially useful with the Heir of Doom, who will almost certainly die if particularly unlucky. With the Witch around to manipulate knowledge and luck, not only will the Heir’s chance of survival increase, they can also offset the harmful effects the Thief has on the session.

And here’s the second group.

Knight of Hope, one who exploits/weaponizes Hope. Knights’ sessions always have a lack of their aspect. There’s simply not enough. Thus, the session won’t have enough Hope. This is… problematic, to say the least, especially with the nature of your session. A lack of Hope means the players aren’t very motivated. They don’t see the point. It must be a doomed session anyway, right? The Knight needs to help their teammates overcome this. Keep fighting, use what Hope you have and at least try to win the session. That’s what everyone needs to do.

Sylph of Time, one who creates/heals Time or with Time. As the Time player, the Sylph needs to help the Space player breed the Genesis Frog and stop the timeline from becoming doomed. The Sylph is especially good at the latter part. They can heal Time. Potentially even healing the timeline! Doomed timeline? No, it’s okay, the Sylph is here. Everything’s gonna be okay. However, they’re on the opposite team as the Space player. This is an issue, since the two cardinal aspects need to work together to win the session.

Seer of Doom, one who sees Doom and uses it to guide others. Here’s a critical player. Your session has a variety of factors working against it. The Heir of Doom has a potentially ominous fate ahead of them, there’s a Thief present in the session, there’s not enough Hope, and the most important players are on opposite teams. Who can fix these? Well, the Witch of Light probably could, but also the Seer of Doom! They can see that if your session keeps going the way it is, it’s doomed. No chance of victory whatsoever. Everyone dies and fades into nothing unless you Scratch, and even that’s a difficult endeavor. The Seer needs to tell everyone about this, on both teams, and get them to put aside their differences.

Maid of Mind, one who creates/creates with Mind. A very useful player for this situation. Everyone is probably going to be a little averse to the idea of teaming up with the opposite team. The Maid of Mind will create logic, showing everyone that it’s the best thing to do. Your session stands zero chance of victory if you can’t get everyone to team up. The Maid of Mind will need to work with the Seer to convince everyone to put aside their differences and be friends. Sburb, at its core, is a team game. You cannot win Sburb as a competitive game. That is the simple truth of it.

Rogue of Breath, one who steals Breath for the use of others. The Thief of Mind is a very problematic player, and if given too much freedom risks dooming even a unified session. The Rogue can steal the Thief’s freedom, restricting what they can do, and giving that freedom to other players. A simple supportive player, but very useful for mitigating problems stemming from other players.

Overall? This session’s success rate is heavily dependent on if and when the two teams can get together. The earlier the better. The lack of Hope in the session is going to be a problem, as will the fact that there are two teams to begin with. But your chances are actually pretty good. If your session can achieve complete unity, then you’ll definitely win the session barring any massive, unprecedented issues. The MVP of the session is the Seer of Doom, for being the one most likely to unify the two teams to begin with. I will say that unity will still be difficult, considering the two leaders. Hope and Doom are like oil and water. They don’t get along at all. Players of their aspects do not get along. It won’t be too big of an issue, but still something to watch out for. I’m going to give this session a 0/10 if they can’t get their act together (again, you cannot win Sburb if you play it as a competition), and 7/10 when unified. The biggest problem for a unified team is the general lack of offensive presence. Only the Heir and Knight are especially noteworthy in terms of attack power. Everyone else is mainly supportive, so large-scale team battles might be a little difficult.

And there you go! That was a fun session ask. Really crazy though, so try not to let everything completely fall apart. 

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Part two of that earlier quadrant post is now here.

Thief of Space.

Moirail: Sylph of Time. The Sylph of Time is a helpful person at their core, like any other Sylph. The Thief is someone who craves Space, and wants as much of it as they can get their hands on. They’re actually one of the less problematic Thieves I can think of, their only major problems being arrogance and greed. The Sylph, meanwhile, is perhaps too quiet and subdued of a person, and the Thief can help them break out of that. A simple yet stable and beneficial moirallegiance.

Matesprit: Witch of Light. These two players are both very arrogant and very ambitious. Space and Light are very compatible aspects, similarly to Heart and Void. These two are the kind of couple that know what they want and take it. They’ll have all kinds of adventures together, and will just have a very fun relationship.

Kismesis: Prince of Mind. The Prince of Mind is probably a very emotional person. They approach things with their heart, which rubs the Thief of Space the wrong way. The arrogant, selfish Thief is generally challenging to get along with, but the Prince of Mind in particular will find them hard to stomach. The Prince thinks that the Thief’s arrogance is both damaging to their emotions and others, and illogical.

Mage of Time.

Moirail: Maid of Hope. The Mage of Time struggles with motivation. What’s the point of doing anything when it’s all going to die anyway? They’re a pessimistic person to their core. The Maid of Hope is the opposite. They’re a beacon of Hope and motivation, and help the Mage have the motivation to do things. Meanwhile the Mage grounds them and reminds them of inevitability to keep their Hope from getting out of hand.

Matesprit: Rogue of Doom. The Rogue of Doom is a pessimistic, self-sacrificing person. The Mage of Time is likely quite similar. These two will get along great due to their similarly pessimistic natures, while stopping each other from sacrificing too much for the other one.

Kismesis: Thief of Life. The Thief of Life is an overbearing, arrogant person. They’re full of life and energy, which makes the Mage of Time deeply jealous. Why do they get to be so happy and full of life? In the context of a Sburb session, the Mage may also hate them because of their being able to prolong their lifespan. The Thief thinks the Mage of Time needs to get over themselves and just live life while they can. These two don’t get along, and they have intensely clashing life philosophies.

Prince of Life.

Moirail: Heir of Breath. The Prince of Life hates Life. They hate energy, growth, rebellion, and life itself. They’re an arrogant stick in the mud. The Heir of Breath, meanwhile, is a cheerful person. They’re free as a bird and see the beauty in life. This is the kind of moirallegiance where one party pacifies the other, but that’s fine. The Prince of Life has a lot of problems, and the Heir of Breath can help them with that.

Matesprit: Prince of Blood. The Prince of Blood is actually fairly similar to the Prince of Life. The Prince of Blood hates bonds, commitment, and friendship. They both definitely hate people a lot. This isn’t going to be the healthiest matespritship, being based off of the two Princes’ similar dislikes, but it works.

Kismesis: Witch of Doom. It could be said that by destroying Life, the Prince sometimes creates Doom. They probably feel some sort of connection to Doom. They would strongly despise the Witch of Doom, who always wants to change up the aspect. They always want to change the rules to fit the situation. This irks the Prince, who wishes the Witch would mind their own business and stop messing with the rules. It’s the same sort of rebellion that the Prince hates so much.

Rogue of Hope.

Moirail: Knight of Life. The Knight of Life feels a deficiency with Life. They’re insecure about their skills and relationship with it, and this probably leads them to be a bit cynical. The Rogue of Hope, if developed well, is a selfless person who is good at giving others Hope. They’ll understand the Knight’s cynicism and insecure nature, as they were most likely in a similar place themselves, but they can help the Knight overcome it.

Matesprit: Heir of Heart. The Rogue of Hope will likely turn out to be an optimistic, cheerful person. As full of Hope as any other player of that aspect, despite a rocky start with it. The Heir of Heart is similarly cheerful. They’re a beautifully happy couple, and give each other the sort of hope and positive emotions people want out of life.

Kismesis: Sylph of Mind. Mind and Hope, I feel, likely wouldn’t mix well. Hope is optimism and possibilities. Open-mindedness. Mind, meanwhile, is cold logic and intellect. The Sylph of Mind plans everything out to the letter. They’re analytical and logical possibly to a fault, which frustrates the Rogue of Hope, who believes in things even if they might not be logical, like most Hope players would. The Sylph considers this very illogical, and is horribly condescending to the Rogue as a result. Trying to ‘correct’ the Rogue, so to speak, in the condescending and meddlesome way that only Sylphs can do.

And there we go! Man, that was an ordeal. As fun as it was to do quadrants for all those classpects, I may have to put some kind of limit on these asks...

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Get ready, because I have a plethora of quadrants for ya, I'm just asking for quadrants for these classpects, none of them are taken in any quadrant for now, Page of Heart, Maid of Mind, Knight of Doom, Seer of Void, Thief of Space, Mage of Time, Prince of Life, and Rogue of Hope, sorry it's this big, but, thanks if you answer.

Oh boy. We’ve got a lot of quadrants here, don’t we? Let’s check them out then. These analyses will probably be a little shorter than my normal quadrant posts simply because there are so many of them. And to keep myself from going insane and to stop this from getting too long, I’m gonna split this into two posts, alright?

Page of Heart.

Moirail: Mage of Void. The Page is probably fairly cheerful and perky, but a bit on the naive side. They’re not especially good with their own emotions. The Mage of Void is a pessimist with low self-esteem, but probably better at dealing with emotions than the Page. These two will balance each other out well. And let’s not forget how well Void and Heart get along to begin with.

Matesprit: Seer of Hope. The Seer of Hope is an adventurous, optimistic person, but smart enough to know what adventures to take and which ones to pass up on. The Page is also a cheerful person, so they’ll have some fun adventures with the Seer of Hope. They get along well.

Kismesis: Thief of Mind. Normally I don’t like to just declare inverse classes as good kismeses for each other, but you really can’t find a better blackrom pair than these two. The Thief is arrogant and egotistical, and an analytical person. They think that sheer logic is much better than emotions. The Page is the opposite. A generous person who considers emotions and love to be very important concepts. They don’t mix well at all.

Maid of Mind.

Moirail: Witch of Light. The Witch of Light is a bit arrogant, and probably a person with grandiose visions of things. They want everything to go their way, and their ambition can occasionally come at odds with logic. The Maid of Mind is a grounding presence for the Witch. They tell the Witch when things won’t work out, when their plans simply defy logic. Not everything can go the Witch’s way. But the Witch will also show the Maid that logic isn’t everything, and sometimes luck is the ultimate victor.

Matesprit: Knight of Doom. The Knight of Doom presents themselves as either a very Type-A sort of person, or very morbid. Or maybe they claim that death and fate just aren’t important at all and that they don’t matter. But no matter what the Knight is like, they go well with the Maid of Mind. They have a number of illogical fears, but they’re overall a person who considers logic and reason in their actions. They and the Maid of Mind probably think alike for the most part.

Kismesis: Heir of Breath. The Heir of Breath is a free-spirited, cheerful person. Nothing drags them down, logic included. The analytical Maid of Mind finds them to be an irritating presence, and the Heir thinks the Maid is a stick in the mud. They aren’t the most virulent, hate-filled kismeses, but they frustrate each other immensely with their different personalities and lifestyles.

Knight of Doom.

Moirail: Seer of Life. Seers and Knights get along well, and Life is a very positive aspect to contrast with Doom’s negativity. The Seer of Life sees the good in life, and when they need to put their foot down and be spontaneous/rebellious every once in a while. The Knight grounds them and stops them from doing anything crazy, but the Seer’s energy can help them loosen up.

Matesprit: Maid of Mind. See above. Alternatively, they could try the Sylph of Rage. The Sylph of Rage isn’t the most positive person, but very soothing. They can help people overcome their insecurities/fears, and they probably understand a good amount of where the Knight is coming from. They’re both fairly subdued people, and thus they get along nicely.

Kismesis: Bard of Hope. Doom and Hope aspects frankly don’t get along at all. The Bard of Hope provokes the destruction of Hope through their presence. Hope is optimism, possibilities, courage, and open-mindedness. The Bard of Hope is a deeply upsetting person to the Knight of Doom, who is already negative enough. This is going to be a stronger hatred from the Knight’s side than the Bard’s, but nonetheless a potent kismesissitude. The Bard hates the Knight’s negative attitude (despite contributing to it), and the Knight hates how the Bard always destroys their happiness and good mood with their mere presence.

Seer of Void.

Already done, thankfully! https://voidy-classpects.tumblr.com/post/159483261289/seer-of-void-quadrants

And that’s all in this post. The other four will be in the next post.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Happy 4/13 everybody! And happy birthday to John Egbert and Jane Crocker! Let’s hope for a Hiveswap release today, shall we? Or maybe that epilogue. Hell, I’ll even settle for more snaps.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

what about a prince of breath

Ooh, a Prince. Haven’t done one of those in a while. Nor have I ever answered an ask for one. Last few Princes were just analyses I did because I felt like it.

The Prince actively destroys or destroys with their aspect. The Prince of Breath will destroy or destroy with Breath. The passive counterpart is the Bard of Breath, and the inverse is the Sylph of Blood.

So, Princes are… problematic, for lack of a better word. They’re generally kind of assholes, and their urge to destroy their aspect usually brings trouble. The Prince of Breath, like most Princes, will be ruthlessly self-deprecating, yet somehow still a condescending asshole to a lot of people. This is a very draining person to be friends with sometimes. They’re going to be quite clingy, and have trouble being apart from their friends. Their self-deprecating tendencies mean that their friends are oftentimes going to need to emotionally console them. They’re going to be an extremely loyal and devoted friend, but may seem emotionally distant at times. They might not be there for other people as often as they want to be, and this may cause resentment. They’re probably a good person at heart, and they do care deeply about their friends, but they’re horribly clingy and have some strong abandonment issues. However, if someone isn’t their friend (or family), they’re going to be distant, dismissive, and condescending. Princes hate their aspect, but they’re inevitably drawn to it. The Prince of Breath would experience a gap between the people they aren’t close to. What’s the point of these random people who don’t mean anything to them? They’re still a Prince, after all. They definitely have good qualities, but they’re still frustrating to deal with sometimes.

In terms of powers, they’re quite destructive. Like any Prince, of course. Breath is the aspect of wind in its physical form, and metaphorically it represents freedom. The Prince of Breath will destroy others’ freedom. In fact, if they wanted to be, they could be a master manipulator. Good at guilt-tripping people and fast-talking them. They can also destroy peoples’ physical freedom with this. Stopping them from moving, or at least slowing them. They can destroy wind, such as destroying any breeze that happens to be passing by, but I’m not sure what practical use this has. Most frighteningly, they can destroy with wind. Anywhere from a stiff breeze to a strong gale to an entire hurricane. They’re good at wide-scale, powerful destruction of their surroundings.

And there’s the Prince of Breath. I forgot how fun it was to talk about Princes.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Seer of Time???????

Alright, the Seer of Time. Let’s check them out, shall we?

The Seer is the passive understanding class. They see the path of their aspect, and guide others with this knowledge. The Seer of Time will see the path and flow of Time, and guide others with it. The active counterpart is the Mage of Time, and the inverse is the Witch of Space.

So, the Seer of Time will have a hard time with the concepts associated with Time. They’re going to struggle with the inevitability of things. They’ll have a hard time dealing with things ending. This could be as simple as not wanting their favorite show to end, or as harsh as falling into depression after someone close to them dies. Either way, they don’t do well with inevitability. They need to learn to overcome this, because everything dies someday. They’re naturally something of a pessimist, but they’ll probably act more optimistic than they actually are.

Power-wise, this is a good Time player to have. They can see the timelines. What happens along them, and what every action leads to. Like any other Time player they’re capable of time travel, and can utilize this power to prevent anything catastrophic from happening. They’ll probably do this by going back in time and telling their teammates to do something, or not to do it. Seers don’t often take the initiative themselves. They tell others what needs to be done, and have the others carry out the plans. This can be seen with both Rose and Terezi in canon. With both of their major plans and endeavors (such as the whole Green Sun thing and the retcons) they instructed others. A Seer can participate directly in their plans, but they’d rather avoid this if possible.

And there’s the Seer of Time. Very useful to have around, but like any Seer suffers the limitation that things will be difficult for them if others are not willing to listen.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Care to tell me about the page of heart??

Already done! Just search up Page of Heart and you should find it.

[voidy-classpects-blog]

Can you give some insight on the Mage of blood?

Okay, the Mage of Blood. Feels like ages since I’ve done a normal, standard classpect analysis.

The Mage is the active understanding class. They understand by experiencing their aspect. Thus, the Mage of Blood will understand by experiencing Blood. The passive counterpart is the Seer of Blood, and the inverse is the Heir of Breath.

So, the Mage of Blood. They’re probably going to have a variety of experiences with people and friendship. Mages learn about their aspect by experiencing it, which means both good and bad experiences. The Mage of Blood probably has some really good friendships, but they’d have experienced some seriously crappy ones in the past too. They know how friendship works and how to keep it alive. They’re probably kind of an introvert, but very talkative if you get them going. Blood players are generally pretty chatty, as seen with both Karkat and Kankri, so the Mage of Blood probably isn’t much different.

Power-wise, this is a mostly support-based player, as Mages usually are. The Mage of Blood knows all about Blood. Friendships, bonds, and commitments. Probably has some limited medical knowledge too. They can keep a friendship together, and potentially help destroy enemy bonds. Team unity will be high with them, and the enemy’s unity might not be looking so great. The Mage of Blood is a simple player in terms of powers, but still a helpful friend to have.

A session with a thief of life, rouge of space, sylph of blood, mage of time, knight of light and prince of heart?

Okay, another session! This is going to be interesting, I can already tell.

Thief of Life, one who steals Life for their own use. This is the canon classpect of Meenah Peixes. AKA her session’s most notorious troublemaker. The Thief of Life in this session is going to be much the same, in terms of how much trouble they cause. They’re determined to succeed in the game. Frighteningly so. They’re going to take everyone’s energy and use it themselves, to accomplish whatever they feel is necessary. They’re going to force themselves into the leadership role, and get pissed off at whoever tries to oppose this. Your other players are going to be lethargic and lacking energy unless spurred into action. The most frightening possibility is this Thief doing something similar to what Meenah in canon did. Meenah decided her teammates needed to shape up, and took extreme measures to do this. She particularly targeted Damara, who she likely viewed as the weak link, and caused Damara to snap through her constant torment. This is a very Thief of Life thing to do. Taking someone’s metaphorical life from them, making them someone completely different. This Thief may end up doing something similar, which will cause major trouble later on.

Rogue of Space, one who steals Space for the use of others. As your Space player, the Rogue of Space must be the frog breeder, with the help of the Mage of Time. They might feel inept with it at first, or dissatisfied with their job. They’re going to come under fire for this though, most notably from the Thief. If the Thief is your session’s Meenah, then the Rogue will probably be Damara. The Thief and Rogue need to be kept away from each other. Let the Rogue do their thing, they’ll become comfortable eventually. The Thief risks derailing the Rogue’s character, and potentially the entire session, if they deem the Rogue to be the weak link. The Rogue will be a perfectly competent frog breeder, and will be able to take creativity from the enemy and give it to their teammates, but the Thief may not see the value/importance in this. 

Sylph of Blood, one who creates/heals Blood, or with Blood. Oh boy. Have they got it cut out for them. Your session has the problematic Thief of Life, and the presence of the Prince of Heart doesn’t bode very well either. These two players are going to lead to a lot of personal problems later on. Cue the Sylph of Blood. As I’ve said a few times before, they’re the ultimate team therapist. Keeping team unity is a lot easier with them, and they’re frankly one of the best Sylphs to have. When all else has gone to hell, and the Thief and Prince have derailed everything (as Thieves and Princes are prone to doing sometimes), this is your session’s savior. Keep them safe at all costs.

Mage of Time, one who understands Time by experiencing it. As your Time Player, they have to help the Space player breed the Genesis Frog and stop the timeline from becoming doomed. They’ve got their job cut out for them too. The antics of their teammates are going to result in a number of doomed timelines, and the Mage needs to keep everything on track. Thankfully they’ll be good at this, but I’d be careful about the status of their life. They’re going to be having some bad experiences with Time. Which drags them closer to death’s door. And if they die, nobody can save them. Especially keep them away from the Thief, who might end up taking Life without realizing how harmful it is to this player.

Knight of Light, one who exploits/weaponizes Light. So, I haven’t talked much about the effect they’re going to have on your session. The Knight of Light’s presence means there won’t be much Light. In other words, information, relevance, and luck. At best, people won’t really know some things, and they’ll be a little unlucky. At worst, your session may already have its fate spelled out for it via lack of importance. It could be anywhere in between these outcomes. But the Knight of Light’s presence is foreboding nonetheless. They’re a powerful combatant, and they’re probably going to have some major effects on the session. Light players are always massively important to the grand scheme of things. Rose, Vriska, and Aranea were all critically important to the story of Homestuck. I don’t know how the Knight will affect the session, but they will. Count on it.

Prince of Heart, one who destroys/destroys with Heart. And here’s the other troublesome one. I’ve got to warn you about Princes, we are always trouble. Every single one of us. Getting stuck in a session with one is just begging for a hard time. Princes’ sessions have an excess of their aspect. Thankfully, we have Dirk Strider in canon to see how a Prince of Heart would affect a session. Remember the infamous Jane-Jake-Dirk love triangle? Yeah, that’s what a Prince of Heart does. There’s an excess of emotions and romance in their session. This one would most likely be the same. Which is particularly dangerous considering the complicated relationships the Thief of Life is going to have with their teammates. All kinds of romantic drama is waiting in this session, and the Sylph of Blood will have to repair the inevitably damaged bonds of the team.

Overall? This team has a lot of issues. Any one of these players is an invaluable asset to a session, but all of them combined just… doesn’t really work that well. This session could still work, but you’d better hope for some good luck. The Thief is going to be a troublesome presence throughout the entire thing. The Rogue risks being led astray. The Mage’s life is perpetually at risk. The Knight brings with them misfortune. And the Prince causes all kinds of romantic woes. It’s up to the Sylph of Blood to offset all of this and keep everything in order. I’d give this session 3 or 4 out of 10. If the Sylph can keep everything in order, it’ll be successful, but otherwise… Not so much. The MVP is definitely the Sylph of Blood.

Sorry about the rather negative review of this session. There’s always hope.

Seer of Void Quadrants

Alright, here are those quadrants for the Seer of Void!

Moirail: Thief of Heart. Heart and Void players get along extremely well. Everyone knows that. We have a number of examples in canon, and even real people who are Heart and Void players seem to get along. Anyway, the Seer of Void is a quiet, introverted person. Definitely something of a pessimist. Who better to help than the boisterous Thief of Heart? The Thief of Heart is an outgoing person, and probably something of a daredevil. But they also want their quadrants filled and with the best possible relationships. They’re egotistical and self-centered, but the Seer is the opposite. Seers are helpful and (usually) friendly people, more or less. The Seer balances out the Thief’s selfish, love-hungry personality, and the Thief helps the Seer with their pessimistic introversion.

Matesprit: Heir of Life. The Seer of Void wants cheerful, adventurous people in their quadrants, since they’re most likely the opposite. The Heir of Life is optimistic, ambitious, and daring. They’re the sort of person you could really have a lot of fun with. The Seer of Void could go on all kinds of romantic adventures with the daring, extroverted Heir of Life, while being rational enough to stop it from going anywhere... dangerous. However, the Heir will need to give the Seer some space from time to time. If you smother an introvert like the Seer, you’re going to drive them away and cause resentment.

Kismesis: Page of Light. The Seer is the sort of person who likes obscurity and peace. The Thief and Heir are the sort of loud people that are enjoyable to be around, provided they can recognize the Seer’s boundaries and limits, but the Page of Light is just annoying. They like to spout off irrelevant/unnecessary information, and they feel like they’re overcompensating for something. They don’t like how the Seer is always in the shadows, wanting to drag people into the spotlight, and the Seer resents them heavily for this. They’re going to intensely irritate each other, and they should be kept apart at all times.

And there you go. No auspistice because there’s no second person.

can i get a spicy analysis for a seer of void and if you want maybe some saucy quadrants as well?? thanks

Seer of Void? About time someone sent me in an ask for a Seer analysis. You’d think Seers would be more popular, but this is literally the first Seer I’m analyzing, forty-something posts in. Dunno how spicy I can make the analysis, but let’s get to it.

The Seer is the passive understanding class. They have immense knowledge of their aspect, and can see their aspect to advise others with it. The Seer of Void will see and understand Void, and guide others with it. The active counterpart is the Mage of Void, and the inverse is the Witch of Light.

The Seer of Void will struggle with the idea of Void. They have a hard time coming to terms with emptiness, with nothingness. The fact that some things just don’t have meaning. They might not be the most optimistic person as a result of this. Seers are good at showing others what to do though. Rose and Terezi both exhibit this trait, and Kankri at least tried. There’s not that much to say about the Seer of Void that I can’t also say in the powers section, so.

In regards to powers, this would be a useful Seer. They would end up being involved with the Horrorterrors somehow. Either opposing them or falling under their sway. They would however succeed where Rose, the Seer of Light in canon, failed. They could understand the Horrorterrors and their nature without going grimdark. Grimdarkness is a distinct possibility for them, of course, but it wouldn’t be because they didn’t understand what they were seeing. Additionally, the Seer would be capable of seeing what doesn’t exist. Seeing the things that don’t exist, how they could be useful, and how they became that way. This could be used to, for example, advise the team’s Time player to go back in time and stop it from not existing. Bringing it back for the team’s use. They could know how to traverse the Furthest Ring if necessary, and be able to make it through the Void to find what they want.

And there’s the Seer of Void. Little to no offensive capabilities, but a very useful support teammate. I’ll write up some quadrants later today or tomorrow. This was a bit draining to think about, because I haven’t thought much about Seers.

you do sessions omg im so glad i cant find anyone who does sessions anymore! can you please analyse one with a kinght of space, witch of doom, prince of life and sylph of time?

Yeah, sessions are fun. It’s interesting to think of what kind of story peoples’ sessions could make. So, let’s take a look.

Knight of Space, one who actively exploits/weaponizes Space. So, since this is a Knight, your session will not have enough Space. Either there won’t be enough physical Space (people or planets being too close together, for example), or there won’t be enough creativity in the session. Not the most problematic Knight you could have, but I’d still be careful. As the Space player of your session, their job is to breed the Genesis Frog to create the new universe. They might shy away from that role at first, feeling insecure with Space, but they’ll be proficient with it when they finally get it together. They’re also the most responsible player, and they’ll help keep everything in line.

Witch of Doom, one who manipulates Doom. Can sometimes change the rules of the aspect. This is a powerful player to have on your side. The Witch of Doom manipulates rules, laws, fate, death, and sacrifice. They can change the rules of a battle, and tweak the rules of Sburb itself at higher levels. Potentially even stopping someone from dying. In major team battles, such as against the Black King or Queen, this is your greatest supportive asset. They can change the rules of battle to fit your team’s purposes. They’re not likely to be a troublesome presence for the team.

Prince of Life, one who destroys or destroys with Life. Oh boy, it’s a Prince. I’ve gotta warn you about Princes. We’re the biggest goddamn troublemakers. You’ve got some major pain and drama waiting for you in any session with a Prince. The Prince of Life is certainly no different. They are frighteningly powerful. They can destroy Life itself, or destroy with Life. Either directly killing someone by destroying their Life, or other shenanigans. I could see them doing something like creating diseases. They can also destroy Life on a metaphorical level. Destroying growth, luxury, and energy. You know the expression ‘destroying someone’s life’? Yeah, the Prince can do something kind of like that if they get the chance. By far your session’s biggest troublemaker, but a major asset. Defeating enemies is a snap for them, and should they choose to apply their powers in a more subtle manner they could potentially create a disease that causes a mass Dersite extinction. Getting all of the game’s major enemies out of the way for good, including the monarchs. But, they’re probably going to want to be a leader, which is going to cause some issues along the line…

Sylph of Time, one who creates/heals Time or with Time. As your Time player, the Sylph helps the Space player breed the Genesis Frog and stops your timeline from becoming doomed. Thankfully, they’ll be proficient in both of these. Sylphs are very capable and talented with their aspect, and they always seem to know what to do. This Sylph can heal Time. Which probably means healing the timeline itself. An almost certain safeguard against your timeline becoming doomed. However, not all is sunshine and roses here. The Sylph of Time, like any Sylph, is a meddlesome and sometimes very feisty person. They’re going to have aspirations of leadership. Just like everyone else in the session.

Expanding on that, let’s take one more look at who’s involved. The Knight of Space is the mom friend, the supportive one, the one who wants to keep everyone out of trouble. The most sane and rational person on your team. The Witch of Doom would run a very tight ship as leader, wanting everyone to do what they said to do. But they could be persuaded to let someone else try. They’re not so much the type to create rules as to change what’s there. They’re a Witch, after all. They’re pretty reasonable if approached by someone level-headed and friendly. The Prince of Life, on the other hand, is a problem. Life is an aspect connected to leadership. All three Life players in canon, Feferi, Jane, and Meenah, liked to think of themselves as leaders. The Prince is going to be very… overbearing. They believe that due to their sheer efficiency in taking out enemies (something that they do have a point about), they have the right to be the leader. They’ll force themselves into the position, and set all kinds of rules and restrictions on the other players to get them to do what the Prince wants. They won’t take kindly to any sort of perceived mutiny or betrayal, and risk lashing out in dangerous ways. It’ll probably take all three of their teammates to pacify them, but it’s a necessary effort. You absolutely don’t want them to go rogue on you. Not a single classpect is better at killing than they are. Assassination, disease, just straight-up slaughter… The Prince of Life excels in destroying and erasing Life. Finally, the Sylph of Time is a meddlesome and sometimes fiery person, but they’re pretty rational. Convince them if they shouldn’t become leader, and they’ll relent.

Overall, your session has a great mix of players, but some concerning interpersonal issues. The leadership squabbles risk leading the Prince to go rogue, which is essentially game over. Potentially Game Over, if you know what I mean. However, if you can get past that, your team has an amazing mix of players. Good offense and support. The Knight and especially Prince are very good attackers, and the Witch and Sylph are fantastic supporting team members. If your team can get its act together and experience some team unity, nothing will stop you. I give it 7/10, because the Prince is the only real troublemaker and the other players are all probably pretty rational. The Prince of Life is the MVP by the virtue of easily eliminating any enemies.
