Can ya tell me what a Scora Bard of Heart would be like?
Scora Bard of Heart? Alright! :D
Bards are chill people who donāt go towards their aspect or against it... until theyāre not. They usually have some point in their life where they get a sudden overflow of their aspect and begin destroying it and destroying through it. As a passive class, they donāt destroy themselves, but are very capable of destroying others.
Heart is the aspect of the self, the soul, and emotions. They tend to be at least a little self-obsessed, but it doesnāt necessarily come from a sense of superiority over others. They simply want to make their personality coherent for themselves and/or others. Major themes of self, introspection, soul, and emotions. Minor themes of shards and romance.
So a Bard of Heart would destroy Heart in others or destroy others through Heart. Wow. And given that this particular Bard has a cerulean sign, this power, once realized, will be taken advantage of to its full extent. But letās not dwell on the negatives for too long.
Pre-initiation, this particular Bard of Heart might want to cause mayhem, but wouldnāt want to get too involved in peopleās emotions (or their own, for that matter). It could also be a case of not knowing their own strength, and thus, not taking action. This implies a lack of confidence, but a dislike of authority and a desire to act. Or maybe, a Bard of Heart who ghosts their opposite aspect (Mind) prior to initiation might want to stay logical by keeping themselves from finding out who they really are because of a fear of exaggerating their personality too much.
Once they figure out who they really are, sort out their emotions, and have confidence that theyāre right, they will be able to take advantage of their newfound knowledge to break down the hearts of others. Theyāll go around telling people that they donāt really know who they are, that thereās a right and a wrong to introspection, and the Bard will begin to leave destruction in their wake. Theyāll play the Hearts of others like a fiddle, telling people that their emotions are irrational or unjustified.
Due to the sign class of this particular bard, theyāll probably either use their power as a means of disregarding authority or keeping people from knowing who they really are. However, as they continue to discover their power, theyāll begin to use it in a more versatile and/or controlled manner and in such a manner that it helps them achieve their ambitions.
In a Sburb session, this Bard of Heart will be likely to go grimdark if they start falling down the rabbit hole of pushing people away by destroying the senses of self if their teammates. Ambitious and independent as theyāll become, everyone needs someone to lean on, and without a support, the Bard may find themselves alone to see what theyāve done to destroy their team. A non-destructive Blood player will do them good, if they can find one whoāll stay by their side.
At their best, the Scora Bard of Heart is an ambitious force to be reckoned with. At their worst, theyāre volatile, impulsive, and highly defensive.
