M0TH PRINCE

Please read part 1, 2 and 3

Dodge, TantalizedGambler

He's obviously associated to luck so you'd assume he'd be Light like Vriska but fuck no, I see it as quite the opposite. Dodge is all about uncertainty, doubt, making the best with whatever you have. Dodge puts his trust in people like he's gambling, all in.

He bet everything he had on homar being the source of all his problems, he was right and still lost it all.

He's so often at the mercy of things he has no control over, all he can do is hope to get lucky, and he still plays the game again and again.

MAGE OF VOID, PROSPIT

One who changes the means of the ambiguous, ill-defined, and the unknown to advance others within the narrative

Ejipe, GhastlyToxicity

Ejipe's arc is a pretty standard tale of breaking free from the old ways of his father. He redefines his values, his vision of what a Sram "should behave like". But the narrative bends (total retcon of Ejipe's father's entire personality and character) to recontextualize his relationship with Dodge, who he wants to be with but is too self important to admit. Accepting Dodge's trust and love is now a brave, heroic and empowering act instead of what his father literally adviced him to do at the beginning. Because Ejipe's a little shit who has a problem with authority.

THIEF OF BREATH, DERSE

One who is changed by the forces of novel meaning-making, and disconnect from tradition for their own advancement and the other's/the narrative's.

I like Ejipe being a carapacian from Derse, I think it's cute and funny.

Pls read part 1 and 2

Lily, TimorousTherapeutics

Lily keeps the story on track how it's "supposed" to go. She has very little personal identity, she becomes the space between. The narrative forgets about her then clumsily tries to make her fit back into the space of her absence after she'd been left unmentioned for several volumes. She is what she needs to be whenever there's a hole that needs a girl character to fit in, the voice of reason, the damsel in distress, the one who gets assaulted, the one who causes conflict between the protagonist and deuteragonist. She's given the role of Arty's love interest simply because the role is supposedly left vacant. And she couldn't be given her own role, even her teacher gets a backstory, when shes not allowed one.

She's then allowed a nice ending by Arty's side, even though it's only as '"the hero's girlfriend". And it's implied she would have stayed miserable, alone, and unable to ever move on if Arty hadn't come back from the dead to be with her.

MAID OF SPACE, PROSPIT

One who is wielded by the means of planned growth, development and reproduction to advance others in the narrative.

Lily being in charge of the genesis frog also seems perfectly logical. It also makes a great deal of sense to me that she'd be an early prospit waker just like Jade and Kanaya. I think she'd also have a special connection to their session's first guardian but I haven't thought much about who or what it could be. Maybe a dragon ? Though it does make me wonder about prototyping, if Cornu Molu is their version or Lord English, it'd make sense he'd be an amalgation of some of the players and possibly magical artifacts too. Like the ivory dofus could be the equivalent of the magic cue ball or smth like that...

Noir Jack, grandioseTeratologist

Noir jack could literally just be their session's version of Jack Noir lmao. I still wanted to classpect him but I didn't put that much thought into it

SEER OF DOOM, DERSE
