Welcome to my humble little library, where I answer inquiries regarding Titles and the like - though I'll often answer general questions or random things to keep things shaking.
REGENT: Alright, so now we get to a pair of Aspects that are uniquely diverse in interpretations and yet, in relation to their cosmological niche, quite far off the mark.
REGENT: This of course does not make the traditional comprehension of these Aspects invalid or otherwise unusable, but rather that the interpretations, though greatly removed from the original nature of the Aspects, are something that should be looked at with a different perspective - a perspective which the following discussion should provide.
REGENT: To start off, Void; an Aspect traditionally associated with secrets, the unknown, and obfuscation. Darkness meant to disrupt common understanding. Though these traits aren't holistically incorrect, they are, in a way, too varied as to be perfectly accurate. And one might insinuate that that's exactly in line with the nature of Void, but I would disagree.
REGENT: To borrow some of my own words from an older exploration on Void, "Void is the Aspect of absence; of the lack of something." And, if you'll recall what I said previously about the Aspect of Space, if something does not exist, it can be made to. Space is concerned with physical existence, and Void is actually very closely related to Space - though the symbols of the Aspects would make that somewhat obvious.
REGENT: As I said in the original thesis about the cosmology of Aspects, the true nature of Void is potential; absence, by it's very nature, is rife with potential. What does not exist can be made to, and so Void, as an Aspect closely related to Space, creates the synergy of potential and reality.
REGENT: For the Void-bound, what is possible is their domain - the potential of something, what it can be, rather than what it is, is where we draw our strength. Secrets and the unknown are simply possible truths, empty spaces that can be filled. To obfuscate is to create potential by removing the distinct. And much of the same mechanisms that Space has can be found with Void; namely, drawing on the potential of a shape not yet taken.
REGENT: And of course, directly opposite to Void is the Aspect of Light; one whose attributions are knowledge, fortune, luck - but like Void, such things are too broad and varied. But, if Void is the Aspect of potential, of what is possible, then Light must be the Aspect of the definite and concrete.
REGENT: Anything can exist within darkness, but Light erases all possibility; it reveals and brings into focus the exactness of what was once vague. Light and Void can be loosely compared to the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment; while the box is closed, the cat is subject to the domain of Void; because they are potential outcomes, the cat is both alive and dead.
REGENT: But opening the box subjects the cat to Light, and renders its state definite. The cat is now specifically alive, or specifically dead. It must be one or the other, and cannot be both.
REGENT: So to say, the Aspect of Light, quite literally, shines a light on a thing to render it definite. Knowledge, in this case, is concrete. Luck is in fact rendering the possibilities down to a set result.
REGENT: And so, the Light-bound deal in putting definition to what exists, and like Void, are inextricably tied to Space; for a thing to be defined, it must exist, and so through existing it is defined. The laws of Space work in tandem with the laws of Void and Light.
REGENT: It might seem strange - asinine, even, for me to attribute the ostensibly broad, all-encompassing domains of Void and Light to being practically a Venn diagram with Space, but realistically, such an overlap is inevitable. Aspects which deal heavily in what is and what could be must reference something - and in this case, existence is not just the best, but the only reference point.
REGENT: At any rate, that concludes today's session, next time I will be finishing up in defining the Lower Sphere with Life and Doom, after which we can begin on the Upper Sphere.

REGENT: Continuing from the prior lecture, we now must begin to focus on the role Aspects play as the cornerstones of reality. As described previously, the primary Twelve Aspects are divided into two Spheres of Six Aspects; the Lower Sphere which govern fundamental reality, and the Upper Sphere which govern motive reality.
REGENT: We must now look closer at the natures of these Aspects to better understand the role they play in the universe - as well as what the Aspect properly encompasses for those who have an affinity with it.
REGENT: These explorations will be done in pairs, as the paired Aspects are often closely intertwined. Thus, we start with the very most basic; Space and Time.
REGENT: Space is an Aspect which is…Weird, and a little difficult to try and simplify. Even a single word does not appropriately describe it; it is creation. As an act, but also as the physical principle of reality. Something intuitively known, but hard to accurately describe.
REGENT: It is an Aspect to which many distinct factors are ascribed; distance, mass, gravity, size, shape, and so on. The very notion of physics itself seems part and parcel with Space, though that may be less a direct factor of Space, and more with its relation to Light. Though, that is something for its own discussion.
REGENT: In actuality, I feel Space is less concerned with the precise details of an extant thing and more with its state of existence. As I stated, it is creation; it matters not what form a thing takes, so long as it takes form at all. If it exists, it is, inherently, Space.
REGENT: "So what then, of the devices through which the Space-bound manipulate reality? To reshape, resize, reorient what exists?" The answer is simple. If it exists, it is within the realm of Space's influence, and so the Space-bound - through the lens of their Class - are able to manipulate it.
REGENT: For the Space-bound, the only factor that matters for their powers is whether or not a thing exists. If it does, they hold influence over it; if it doesn't…Then it can be created.
REGENT: Time, paradoxically, is much more concrete despite being non-physical. Time is the flow of reality, moving forward in linear fashion. It is a direct measurement of progress against which the states of things can be compared.
REGENT: Even more paradoxically, Time is a continuous line, and yet cyclical. It is a single path, but it branches and frays. The ways Time works is free-flowing, and yet the rules around it are rigid.
REGENT: But the main factor of Time - that of its role as the forward movement of reality - is a constant. Nothing exists which is not subject to the flow of Time, but Time itself has no direct affect on anything. Like with Space, I believe that part of what is normally ascribed to Time is actually it working in tandem with Doom, and just the same, that's another discussion.
REGENT: Which, it's rather ironic to me that Time, an Active Aspect, is actually rather passive in its interaction with physical reality. But, I digress.
REGENT: So, what about Time as it relates to the Time-bound? How do they resonate with this cosmic principle? Well, it's a similar deal to Space; if it exists, has existed, or will exist, then it is within the domain of Time. But unlike the Space-bound, who directly influence that which exists, Time has access to different points of existence.
REGENT: Simplifying it, Time is something akin to a straight line, with events happening along its length. That line is what the Time-bound have direct control over, and through it, they can influence the events which happen on that line.
REGENT: That should be suitable enough for today - next we'll be discussing the Aspects I am most intimately familiar with; Void and Light.
REGENT: As the architect and custodian of the Apocrypha, I have advantaged myself with my godly longevity, the unique insights of the Void, and a natural predisposition towards solving puzzles to make of these dream-built halls a valuable resource for those looking to learn - and through their learning, come to a greater understanding of themselves, and the universe at large.
REGENT: And as of late, a realization has crossed my mind; for all that this knowledge pertains to the greater universe around us, the output of my work has largely centered around the minute and the individual. What this means for a specific person, how they should begin to interpret it for themselves, what powers does this Aspect bring…But never have I actually taken the time to paint a picture, so to speak, of how these Aspects create our reality.
REGENT: So let's fix that.
REGENT: To ensure that everyone listening to this lecture - or reading its transcription afterwards - is all on the same page to start with, I want to briefly explain what an Aspect is.
REGENT: An Aspect, as we know it, is the latter half of our divine Title which we assume when we ascend into the God Tiers. It is a facet of universal law with which we have a strong affinity and from which we derive our power. Though an Aspect presents itself as a constant within the universe, our divine powers which we draw from it are influenced by perspective, creating a sense of mutability about how Aspects work.
REGENT: But focusing on the existence of an Aspect as a universal law, a constant from which we draw power through our affinity to it, begs the question; "how does it all fit together? What relation do these Aspects have in forming our reality?"
REGENT: To answer that, we must first reduce each Aspect into an "element", of sorts - simplify it; Space is creation, the firmament of existence. Time is the forward progression of reality. Void is potential, and Light is definition. Life is growth, while Doom is entropy. Breath is individualism, Blood is community. Heart is personal identity, and Mind the Collective Unconscious. Hope is belief, and Rage is willpower.
REGENT: I will, of course, explain these "simplified elements" a bit better separately, but for now we should take these definitions as axiomatic. At which point, a new problem forms; half of these simplified Aspects pertain to cosmic forces, and the other half are more personal.
REGENT: To which I propose that these laws of reality are separated into two "spheres", so to speak. The Lower Sphere, of fundamental creation - Space, Time, Void, Light, Life, and Doom; and the Upper Sphere of motive creation - Breath, Blood, Heart, Mind, Hope, and Rage.
REGENT: As reality is a cyclical force, and requires a means to self-perpetuate - us, those who play the fated Game to create a new universe - which means that our existence not only needs to be accounted for in this cosmic equation, but fundamentally mandated. Thus, the Upper Sphere of laws which govern our individual lives.
REGENT: To make a metaphor of it, the Lower Sphere is the stage, the Game is a play, we players are the actors, and in a manner of speaking, the Upper Sphere is our script.
REGENT: Restructuring one's perception of the Aspects as not just a source of power, but as a literal foundational force of reality, can perhaps help offer new perspectives into how we as gods manifest these laws.
REGENT: In my case, though I hadn't yet ascribed a higher nature to the Aspect at the time, shifting my perspective of Void from "a force of obfuscation and darkness" to "a force of creative potential, like a sister-Aspect to Space" allowed me to gain a fuller grasp over my potential as a Seer of Void - and now I can not just see, but manifest that potential in ways that another Void-bound couldn't.
REGENT: For now, this is a good point to rest on the subject, as the cosmological nature inherent to Aspects is a heady topic which needs to be taken in parts, but I hope that this gives everyone something to think about - both in regards to understanding reality, and in self-reflection.
REGENT: That’s...Kind of a difficult question, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest one being that, while Titles can provide insights into the personalities of people, they don’t really hold up as a means to judge romantic viability between two Titles.
REGENT: ‘Cause, sure, in theory, a double-passive - let’s say Rogue of Hope - who can develop synergistic insights into the opposite Aspect might be able to serve as a foil to the Witch, it’s extremely reductive to assert any Class/Aspect combo as being best suited for a romantic relationship with another.
REGENT: The Witch could hate the Rogue, the Rogue could be too afraid of the Witch to help, they could just simply not know each other and not interact, and beyond that, the Titles themselves would likely have minimal impact on anything to begin with, in this case.
REGENT: If the Witch is rampaging, it is possible for it to be caused by their affinity for Rage; the denial of a thing, the abject refusal to accept it as a fact or possibility - but it’s much more likely that there’s something more closely related to the circumstances the Witch is in.
REGENT: I apologize for...What effectively amounts to a non-answer, but if you’re gauging romantic compatibility, it’s better to assess the people themselves and their connections to each other, rather than judge it based on their Titles.
REGENT: For personality, the Heir of Mind is certainly an odd combination; relaxed, amicable, thoughtful and logically inclined, but still prone to selfish or short-sightedness, and often carrying insecurities that can wreck their perception. However, they will often latch onto a particular occupation or field of expertise, and in those fields they tend to be the best of the best.
REGENT: Meanwhile, the Seer of Space is more on the reclusive side, tending to keep to themselves, if not with a particularly close circle they’re confident with. They’re ruthlessly inquisitive, highly creative, compassionate, and caring; to this end, the few people who get to really know a Seer of Space will likely find them to be brilliant and welcome company.
REGENT: As for powers, the Heir of Mind can slowly grow to gain powerful manipulation over causal factors and thought, but also innately have a degree of benefit from it - whether that manifests as mind-reading or being able to predict outcomes ahead of time, an Heir of Mind is dangerous for their affinity for the long game.
REGENT: Meanwhile a Seer of Space can perceive pretty much anything pertaining to Space - be it perceiving things that exist or across vast physical distances, or being able to perceive a path that leads to the creation of a thing. With how vast the domain of Space is, it’s a little more difficult to discretely quantify the powers a Seer of Space could hold.
REGENT: ...Which is saying something, coming from someone who has just about reached the pinnacle of mastery for Seer powers.

REGENT: I’m going to have to apologize ahead of time, ‘cause like Maids, knowledge on Pages is a liiiiiittle sparing. But, here’s what I’ve got;
REGENT: Starting with the personality, a Page of Hope is a fairly amicable and capable person, with a degree of personal pride and sense of self - though despite their ample positive traits, they’re rather weak on the social front, being bashful and having difficulties stepping forward or putting their foot down.
REGENT: For powers, the Page of Hope is one who has great, expansive influence over belief and ideals - though they have difficulty manifesting or expressing it unless they’re given the room to breathe. Broadly speaking, and for lack of better context to their powers, it should be assumed that in the right conditions, a Page of Hope could make their beliefs - their hopes and dreams - a reality through their powers.
REGENT: Which, again, I apologize that the amount of extant information on Pages is so lacking - you’d think with...How many years now? I’d be able to find more concrete cases, but then again, Pages are quite akin to Muses in how rare it is to find one that’s come into their own.
REGENT: At any rate, I hope this information helps, for what little it’s worth.
REGENT: Let’s see...Well, starting in terms of personality, the Maid of Light would be a fairly rigid and thorough seeker of knowledge, and eager to share and dispense that knowledge wherever they can; though this can be an irritant, their compassionate nature and general welcoming disposition can counterbalance any annoyance from their more “meddling” habits.
REGENT: Whereas the Knight of Void would be rather the opposite; isolated, keeping to themselves with their unconventional knowledge. They would have a low self-opinion, but they would be amicable and easygoing, having an easy time socializing if and when they need to.
REGENT: Powers-wise, the Maid of Light is one who nurtures Light or provides others with Light - be that knowledge, fortune, or guidance as a beacon. They can use their powers to reveal the most fortuitous path, unlock secrets that others might have missed, or directly provide their blessings to another.
REGENT: While the Knight of Void would be one with limited access to the Void - secrets, absence, darkness - and would be able to manipulate and exploit it to great ends. Twisting zones of obfuscation, manifesting objects from thin air, the like; much more broad a set of powers to properly define compared to a Maid, but as I’ve learned, definitions can always be pushed further, if one has the mind to perceive it correctly.
REGENT: Hopefully this is what you were looking for!
REGENT: I certainly have in the past - I reckon that I’ve probably done one of each in the years I’ve been doing this - but that won’t stop me from doing it again.
REGENT: The Knight of Life is an interesting case when it comes to personality; those attuned to life are often positive, but unlike most Active Aspects, they suffer social stress more readily. This fact is pretty easily compounded by being instilled in a Knight, as they tend to distance themselves emotionally from people and situations - creating an aloof facade to avoid dealing with things.
REGENT: On top of this, the Knight of Life can be very harsh overall - both to themselves and to others, making them somewhat volatile and possibly necessitating the Knight’s typical need to wear a mask.
REGENT: As for Powers, a Knight of Life has a limited ability to manipulate the essence of life - and so they’re more keenly capable of exploiting that connection. Whether that be in spot-healing, nurturing growth, or what have you, even with what can be generously called a crapshot connection to their Aspect, a Knight of Life can be a veritable miracle-worker.
REGENT: As well they should be, too, since most often the biggest hurdle a Knight can face is typically a lack of their Aspect being in the session, often via fated imposition. People could die early, quests failed, planets stagnant, gates untraversed; etc.
REGENT: Hopefully you find this useful - or failing that, at least interesting.
REGENT: Whoo-, yeahp, that is a longer one. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; never apologize for these longer ones. With Titles being so intrinsically tied to our personalities, more information is always good information.
REGENT I’ll say from the get-go, you’ve got the Aspect pretty good down, even with much more complex traits. Hope is the Aspect of personal beliefs, and as far as Aspects go, I reckon it might be one of the most corruptive and potentially damaging. And I say that having damn-near mastered the Void.
REGENT: Those bound to Hope often conjure this ideal image of themselves; “I’m an adventurer”, “I’m the only light against the darkness”, “I’m a suave-ass greaser”, “I am the embodiment of a King’s measure”. These conceptions can be extremely difficult to shake, even when they wind up souring and poisoning the Hope-Bound’s existence.
REGENT: And yet, just as dangerous as these ideals can be to them, a Hope player can find immeasurable power in them. Just as much as the Hope player shapes these ideals that they hold to be true, so too do the ideals shape the person who made them to accurately reflect their beliefs.
REGENT: The adventurer picks up the moxxy and intuition, the bastion of hope finds the spark of power, the King emanates virtuous authority......We will not talk about the results of the greaser.
REGENT: And this duality of both boon and danger, the ideal becoming reality, and what that means - I think, is the crux of a Hope player’s evolution. Which is, ultimately, a long-winded way of saying “you’re right on the money, here’s some additional thoughts to support it”.
REGENT: Moving onto Class, it’s a bit of a tossup; my gut instinct is telling me that it’s likely an Active Class, since a lot of the traits line up to be self-centric - the singleminded pursuit of their ideal, the supposition that they’re being held back...
REGENT: But, with the knowledge of that latter point, part of me wants to lean towards Bard, due to their greater strength often being inhibited in some way. However, a similar trait rings true with the Knight, which is an Active Class.
REGENT: If I had to say, I’d give my gut the benefit of the doubt and say Bard. Though Passive, a Bard can command worldshaking power - but are often inhibited by the natures of their Aspects. It is worthwhile to note that most of the Bard’s shortcomings come from a lack of conviction or adherence to their conviction - fucking dammit I just said I wasn’t going to talk about Cronus...
REGENT: Whatever. From my observations, Gamzee’s convictions - those of his dread harlequin god, his rulership over others and the subjugation of lower blood castes, were inhibited by his idiocy and willing consumption of what basically amounts to fuckloads of sleep medication and emotional suppressants.
REGENT: Whereas Cronus’ convictions, if one could call them that, are constantly undermined by his own scummy nature. His desire to buddy up to people - or more specifically, have them fawn over him - is always undercut by his own tendency to abuse and harass others, interjecting where he isn’t appreciated.
REGENT: And I will say, as much as I loathe talking about Cronus, I will find it interesting to note that here, we have a similar case - a Hope-Bound Bard being the biggest thing holding themselves back.
REGENT: So, long-and-short of it, judging from the extant personality traits and issues this Achilles have to face, I would most confidently say that their Title would be the Bard of Hope. While little is known about Bards, it does have - at least to me - a satisfying closeness to Achilles’ growth, and as I stated before, you were exceptionally keen to begin with to pen him as a Hope player.
REGENT: Hopefully this helps, and that you find it to be accurate. And hey- my response was pretty fuckin’ long as well, so, don’t ever be shy about sending in long asks. I’d be quite the hypocrite to turn them away. .P
CIRCE: babe what do you even need to process about this one
REGENT: ...Okay, I’m a dumbass, none of these were from the versions of them that hang around here from time to time.
CIRCE: you just now got that
REGENT: I thought John was-, nevermind. That’s neither here nor there, I’m just gonna give the analysis thing.
REGENT: The Prince of Heart is a destroyer within the domain of the soul or self. They can manifest their powers as either the destruction of souls or identities, or in channeling their soul or self to destroy. Sadly, there isn’t terribly much in the way of concrete knowledge on that, besides an anecdote of a Prince of Heart ripping out someone’s soul.
REGENT: Personality-wise, the Prince of Heart is typically self-centered, proud, and powerfully emotional. They have an uncanny magnetism, but also are very wildly imbalanced - and when they try to complete themselves, they usually wind up being needy and overreaching, not being able to gauge exactly what they need.
REGENT: Their self-centered nature is two-fold, as well; not only for their part as a Prince, being Active and thus self-oriented (resulting in more narcissistic traits), but their affinity for the Aspect of Heart - that of the soul, identity, emotion, and self - leads them to deep introspection and self-reflection.
REGENT: I know it’s not much, but hopefully whatever version of Dirk out their thought this information would be worthwhile finds it satisfactory.

REGENT: Whew. Pardon the brief delay on this one; birthday celebrations a few days ago took me for a spin, and if it weren’t hard enough to keep track of time, tack on temporal dilation and uh...Yeahp.
REGENT: The Rogue of Void, typically, is an exceptionally charismatic and personable individual, backed by a keen intellect and a generally reserved nature. They tend to pick up unusual tidbits of information, and often enjoy working to the benefit of others - even if it stretches them thin. However, being bound to the Aspect of Void, they are also prone to reclusiveness, skepticism, and pessimism.
REGENT: In terms of Powers, the Rogue of Void can steal the essence of Void - that of emptiness, lack, or the unknown. Whether this manifests as a nonexistent object, the extraction of obfuscated information, these powers are still not comprehensively understood, and one can only assume the depth at which they can manifest it.
REGENT: Apologies if the latter half is less thorough than I usually do, but Rogues still pose a bit of a blind spot in my research. It’s hard to get conclusive evidence as to what they can do when so few Rogues are awakened to their powers and prominent in their use.
REGENT: Well, obviously I’m gonna reiterate what I’ve said before; never apologize for longer submissions.
REGENT: Secondly, uh. Man, what a clusterfuck?
REGENT: I’ll do my best to give my thoughts, but fair warning, the relevance of any of their psychological disorders to their title is tangential at the absolute best; since titles are representative of an individual’s personality, not their afflictions.
REGENT: Class-wise, I’m thinking largely either Knight or Muse - the hallmarks of an Heir are that of largely outgoing, sociable individuals whose nature tends towards flipping between genuinely good behavior and dickishness. And as an Active Class, they also tend towards being irrepressible individuals.
REGENT: Muses, being the Passive Master Class, are passive in the surest sense of the word; in this, they will often retreat to personal isolation and self-suppression to avoid making an impact or disturbing others; though through their isolation, they also become extremely well-attuned to their Aspect.
REGENT: Knights are probably the second most likely to suppress themselves, creating a front to distance themselves from others and gain a sense of personal stability. They can be pretty blasé in conversation, saying what’s necessary or speaking their mind without regard to others’ sensibilities.
REGENT: If I had to pin it down to one of the two, I’d probably wager Knight to be more likely.
REGENT: Aspect-wise, this is where it gets tricky. Heart and Rage are aspects which both deal in emotions, and Heart in particular deals with the Self; suppressing one’s emotions and removing the effective concept of a self seems in-line with Heart, and Rage could also apply due to a sense of denial of the world - or more specifically, the joys thereof.
REGENT: Doom also has some potential, due to the Aspect’s tendency towards apathy, and tend to have a reserved nature that can be compounded by being instilled in a Passive Class. That being said, the Aspect deals in fate and inevitability, so I don’t think it’s wholly applicable outside of the surface-level personal traits.
REGENT: Life, in its adjacency to Doom, could have a similar connection, but the traits and metaphysical essence of Life similarly don’t sync up one-to-one here; positivity is a strong personality trait within Life, and in dealing largely with growth and life and nature and whatnot, might be just about as applicable as Doom.
REGENT: To that end, I think they would be a Knight of Space - as Space has a much larger scope kind of issue for Space players to deal with, and coming to view the joys in life and the world seems like an appropriately big-picture undertaking for a Space player. And compassion being archetypal among Space players, I would imagine it fitting for even a world-weary soul who cares for their friends would likely be attuned to Space.
REGENT: So...Yeah, honestly not too far off the mark there. In respect to the tangential relation to their mental disorders, perhaps those could be a decent chunk of the stressors that cause the Knight to create their hollow, emotionless facade?
REGENT: Oh-, and the bit of Troll parlance you were looking for was “Hive”. Still dunno if there’s any place I could’ve put that one without being a little asinine, but, yeah.
REGENT: To start with, never apologize for lengthy questions or the like. Minute details help piece together a better understanding of an individual, so honestly, the longer-slash-more-detailed the question, the better.
REGENT: Secondly, I’m flattered. .)
REGENT: As to the question at hand, I think you’ve probably got a good read on them from the get-go, but just saying “yeah sounds about right” would be anticlimactic, uncharacteristic of me, and would honestly sound like something Dirk would say. So, I’m gonna do as we Seers are wont to do and take something simple and answer it in a more complicated way than it deserves to be said.
REGENT: In regards to the Lord part; that sounds spot-on. Ruthless, domineering, petty, obsessive, spiteful, rampant - these traits all fairly accurately describe the nascent Lord. It is possible for a Lord to move past this stage of personal being, tempering their worse determinations with wisdom and compassion, but such is rare.
REGENT: As for the Aspects, I can easily rule out Breath, if only because it is an element which deals largely in freedom and forward movement; restlessness, personal liberty, and constant action are the hallmarks of Breath, and such traits would likely be magnified and perverted - but not inverted - by being fixed upon a Lord.
REGENT: Void is a fairer secondary possibility; the Aspect of lack, absence, secrets and obfuscation. It is certainly possible for a Lord of Void to manifest their connection to the Void through omission - active or otherwise. After all, Void is intrinsically connected to the Aspect of Light - that of knowledge - and so would easily manifest through “hiding knowledge”, in a manner of speaking.
REGENT: But, I think Heart is the most appropriate aspect for this Heiress. Heart is the Aspect of the Self, and as such - and I say this with full respect to all the Heart players I know - those with a strong connection to the Aspect are strongly self-oriented. Self-reflecting, self-obsessive, selfish - and refusing outside assistance to do things oneself isn’t uncommon at all for the Heart-Bound.
REGENT: Not all Heart players have to deal with multiple unique splinter-existences from themselves as Dirk does; sometimes they have to deal with self-discovery, and sometimes - as would be the case with the Heiress in question - it can simply be a matter of having two separate “faces”. One of honey-tongued benevolence, and one of cruelty and spite.
REGENT: Now, granted, this does kind of all boil down to “gut feeling backed by extensive study”, so it should be taken with its measure of salt, but after a handful of years researching this subject, I reckon I’ve got a very good handle on feeling these things out accurately.
REGENT: Hopefully you found this assessment either - preferably both - agreeable and informative, and I hope I never have the displeasure of running into that Heiress.
REGENT: -did you just spray me with a water bottle
CIRCE: yeah
CIRCE: now quit hissing and do your title thing
REGENT: Mmm.
REGENT: Well, starting - as I do - with personality, the Maid of Life is generally pretty grounded, compassionate, and positive, but tends to be inflexible and prone to stress. That stress can lead them to closing people out and saying harsh things - things which they don’t mean, but have a hard time taking back due to that stated inflexibility.
REGENT: Powers-wise, Maids are a little difficult to get a firm grasp on due to lack of sufficient information, but for the Maid of Life, I believe that their powers orient around tending to Life and blessing others with Life; be that in the form of healing someone, nurturing nature, or promoting growth.
REGENT: A little lackluster, since, as mentioned before, reliable information on the powers of Maids is...Pretty scarce, but, I hope this helps.
REGENT: ...You can put the spray bottle away now Circe.
DIZMAR: You’ve put this one off long enough, Regent. :/~*
REGENT: Yeah-, yeah. (Still don’t get why they can’t just ask themselves.)
REGENT: Right, then. Frustrated though I may be, I am by obligation to the denizens which flourish alongside us within this abyssal space beyond the playing field of creation, duty-bound to-
DIZMAR: Regent.~*
REGENT: ... >.(
REGENT: Starting with personality traits, the Witch of Space is typically very positive, charismatic, confident, and sociable, and typically are very creative individuals. Despite their amicable nature, they don’t mince their words, and when they want to express their frustrations, they absolutely will - no holds barred. They may feel sorry for whoever gets their verbal lashings, but in the moment, they’re more than ready to dole it out.
REGENT: Power-wise, a Witch of Space can manipulate and control Space - whether that be by altering physical space, physical properties (including gravity, mass, etc.), or via straight-up creating matter. To my recollection, Jade most commonly used the second form of manipulation - shrinking or expanding people, planets, objects, etc.
REGENT: I know I’ve been takin’ my sweet old time on this one, and I make no excuses. I am petty, I was out of it for a few weeks, but I should’ve done better. Apologies for the delay, and I hope - presuming that this is a version of Jade that I’m not personally familiar with - that this helps.
REGENT: And I swear to god if Roxy starts a second train of this, I am taking everyone into the arena.
((OOC: No actual beef with these questions, by the by; I did imagine at least putting a week and a half of space before answering this, but then I fell into a mood and a week and a half became...What, half a month?

REGENT: Okay, Rose, what kind of game are you playing?
ROSE: How are you sure they aren’t asking for another iteration of myself?
REGENT: Because I can see you smirking.
ROSE: Humor them.
REGENT: Ffffhuhh. Right.
REGENT: So, starting with personality, a Seer of Light is an insatiable seeker of knowledge, going out of their way to assimilate any information that piques their interest. Keen-minded, but socially awkward and typically reserved - though if you can get them going, they can be extremely talkative, owing to their wealth of knowledge.
REGENT: They also have a natural sense of pride, which is simultaneously a strength and a weakness. They are difficult to rout, but also horribly inflexible. Regardless of this, a Seer of Light can be a fairly comfortable companion to those who know them well.
REGENT: In terms of Powers, a Seer can perceive paths with intrinsic ties to luminosity, fortune, and knowledge, or otherwise perceive beyond those samesuch facets of their Aspect. Rose herself is most notable for using that ability to descry actions which would result in the highest success rate; using her Sight to pick out a path of great fortune for her teammates.
REGENT: So, in the off-chance that the Rose who’s asking for this information by proxy isn’t the one who lives right next door to me...
ROSE: No comment.
REGENT: ...Then I hope they find this information useful.
REGENT: Good grief, what’s next, is Jade going to ask about her Title by proxy?
REGENT: Sorry it took a bit to get to this one, Christmas party prep is in full swing and I may have overestimated my ability to multitask, even with two simultaneously active consciousnesses.
REGENT: Small aside, John and Dave do know they can just...Ask, directly, right?
ROSE: Being entirely fair to the both of them, you are kind of obsessed with godhood. Even I find it creepy sometimes, and I work with you.
REGENT: ......Point.
REGENT: But, back to the Title analysis at hand;
REGENT: The Heir of Breath is one who inherits and develops mastery over freedom, direction, and the wind. John already knows a decent bit about that due to his ability to do “the windy thing”, but it’s worth stating that the degree to which an Heir can manipulate their Aspect is broader than most; to the point that we still don’t have an exact framework to describe their abilities with.
REGENT: Personality-wise, the Heir of Breath is typically outgoing, courageous, and carefree, with a slight touch of occasional dickishness. Not to the point of being actively combative with others, as might be the case with Princes, but more playful dickishness that sometimes forgets where the boundary of fun is.
REGENT: It’s a little sparing, as far as analyses go, but in all honesty I really need to start further studying Heirs. Whatever the case, hopefully this information proves useful to John, and when you pass it along, tell him that, whether I like whatever Christmas movie he picks out or not, I appreciate him bringing something to the party.
ROSE: You might still want to filter his selection a bit.
