#classpect explanation

Rogues are an interesting case because they follow a Robin Hood trope. Taking from the plentiful and giving to those who lack. They're destructive but in a different way from say a Prince or Bard. They deconstruct and rebuild more than they do destroy and leave destroyed.

We can look at Rogues from two different viewpoints; The point that they will never have anything or the point that they have to learn to keep some things for themselves to survive. Rogues thrive off others using their aspect through them, but that can't be done if they run out of Aspect that flows in themselves.

Rogues in simplistic terms "Take" and "Redistribute," however, it's so much more than that. Rogues also Take and Use for others, look back to the Robin Hood point. Robin Hood stole from the rich, gave to the poor, but he used the money HE kept to help others and not fully run out of what he was Taking and Redistributing. However, he does eventually. He's left in ruin, and Rogues can be too if they're not careful. Rogues can and will be left with nothing to them or their aspect without those realizing if not careful. This is because Rogues are probably one of the most selfless classes, and probably one of the most non-self serving. That's their journey, a journey of becoming self-serving in at least some way. To become healthily stable and content within their aspect lest it leave them in ruin.

The Rogue god-tier would be able to take things out of its aspect. See Roxy with the ability to take things out of Void, out of nothing. A rogue's aspect control is also entirely dependent on how they learn to interact with others! If they refuse to grow and adapt to it, they'll crumble and fail to recognize themselves. However, if they learn and grow and become themselves and stable, they'll understand and be in control upon god-tiering, being able to pull from their aspect without much effort.

Made an account then vanished. Anyways, yes I can!

To me Derse and Prospit lunar sways are very similar in opposite directions. Which is contradictory on purpose. Both are destiny oriented. On the derse side you have those that defy it. Those who overthink and those who take thought out action and process. Derse is oriented to those who have drive, purpose and a desire to change the cards they've been dealt and distance themselves from their past while making sure they have a new future.

Prospit is similar in how they change their fates, but they do it in a way that their bound on a track. It's like a crossroads on a train. They switch the levers and go down new pathways and sections of their lives while never straying from their linear track. Prospit dreamers also tend to be very sporadic and impulsive. They make decisions with little thought knowing that they have the ability to do so. Prospit dreamers are very connected to their past and in planning their future they create ways to improve upon it based OFF their past.

Prince of Light let's go!!

So Prince is a destructive class. They actively destroy through, with or straight up destroy their aspect itself. Typically for a selfish gain or ulterior motive.

Light is an aspect I've explained once that you can find in my Mage of Light post directly below this one!!

A Prince of Light would destroy light, destroy with light or destroy THROUGH light. They'd likely be argumentative, making multiple points of fact to others (possibly twisting and destroying the original source they heard it from and what it said) in a way to gain an intellectual high ground. A Prince of Light jas a high likelihood of just straight up destroying literal light as well. Creating dark rooms, trying to block out the sun (half joke there they very well could try) or trying to take the light of of someone else through death. A Prince of Light would also be a destroyer of fate and relevancy. They'd destroy it in an attempt to distance themselves from it, or to cause someone else to lose all relevancy. There is a high likelihood a Prince of Light could singlehandedly destroy and entire SBURB/SGRUB session should they have the drive to.

Bard of Void! One who accidentally destroys Void destroys with Void or destroys through Void.

A bard is the passive destruction class and typically destroys their aspect or with their aspect. A Bard never usually means harm or is aware they are causing harm, yet they do. The goal of the bard is to overcome this and learn to control the immense power and potential they have to use their destructive abilities to reconstruct and rebuild.

Void is the aspect of Secrecy. Void relates to Secrets, nothing, horrorterrors (The Eldritch Beings in HS), gossip and lore!

A Bard of Void is one who would start out accidentally destroying nothing. Possibly by filling their lives with clutter and messes unaware of the damage its doing to the spaces their in. They may also be closed minded and unwilling to hear opinions and personal things people want to tell them, either ignoring them when it happens or deflecting it. They are also likely to be a nonbeliever to any possible outer forces. They shut down and ignore all things they don't like, not because they don't want to hear it persay, but because they have no idea how to properly process it. It's a defence mechanism more than anything to keep their own little bubble that they're actively destroying through clutter and messes created by themselves and their thoughts.

Hope this little explanation helps!

Mage of Light!

Mage is the class of control and change. Mages are bound to their aspect through their desire to understand and have ability TO control.

Light is the aspect of knowledge. But specifically known knowledge. It is also connected to greed, plot relevancy and literal light.

A Mage of Light is one who's likely to have a deep connection to Light from the start, most likely having a good amount of books, money and lighting within their home/hive. A Mage of Light would want more. They'd seek out and collect knowledge. They'd also likely be aware of fate and understand that they HAVE a destiny. They'd want to control that destiny and shape it into what they want. They'd also take knowledge they know and use it to their advantage through changing wording and understanding of it to fit their own ideals and goals.

….Keep that optimistic attitude, you’re gonna need it.

There is no problem to explain the basics of Lord of Hope to you, despite you could find out yourself. (Seriously, why never anyone uses the Library? Libraries are source of all the knowledge!)

The Class of Lords: “Lords are the one who shape the [Aspect]” Therefore you don’t create it or change it. You just simply tell your Aspect what it should do and where it should be. (I am plainly copying that from other Lord + Aspect explanations, it is still true.)

Hope: Has the four main way, Belief, Illusion, Protection and Truth. Hope Players altogether thanks to their Aspect can take way more serious damage, both emotional and physical, before they fall apart. However… You have to be honest with yourself and admit when you can’t go on. It’s important. Because Hope often gets damaged beyond repair. Anyway, back to Hope explanation:

Hope may mean a literal hope and therefore belief. Hope players may inspire other players and NPCs and give them power just by believing in them or by believing into themselves. Or do the exact opposite.As a Lord, you cannot create the inspiration, instead you shape it (or its lack, which is harder). Lord of Hope is what makes the world spin. You must assure yourself everyone beliefs the tomorrow comes, because if they don’t, then it doesn’t come.Active Classes (such as Lord) also depend on how people believe in them. It has a lot of influence on your powers, but it is not crucial. Still, they should believe you are able to do whatever you want to do.This most obvious way of Hope is used especially by Sylphs, Heirs, Pages and Seers.

Hope is also kind of an illusion (which is depressive to say, but whatever).So causing hallucinations or foggy illusions and sometimes kind of dreams are totally a Hope thing and you can do that.However, it’s not much of a Lord thing to do. Don’t forget Lord is an Active Class, therefore you use your powers mainly for yourself in the first place. Still, it is handy to know you have such a thing as [Castle On A Cloud] or [Requiem For A Dream] in your sleeve.

Another way of interpreting Hope is bunch of lies. And where is a lie, there must be a truth too. Hope players are either a terrible liars or an excellent ones, towards others and towards themselves. But there is no in-between. Hope players often see things in black and white and there is no gray zone of actions. One perk of understanding the truth-concept of Hope early is that you find out every lie and you just know when people lie to you. The con: You learn the truth. Always. And by always I mean always. Truth is the most abstract concept and often goes unnoticed and it’s damn dangerous.Lords are very good truth-shapers. You will never be as good in pretending truth is lie and lie is truth as Transpositioners, but on the other hand, you can change what people thinks that is truth. But as I said, you have to be honest with yourself, something Hope players are often not.It has some neat buffs as [Revelation] or [Truthseeker]. the later is especially handy if you have to deal with some enemy with Mind abilities.

Last meaning of Hope is protection.That’s also why is Hope a Resistance Aspect. Hope is there to protect people. You may live up to this concept in many ways.Lords live up to this mainly by going it the first line of offense. Because the Hope’s main advantage when it comes to fight is, that it can ignore all armor and buffs.

It is funny how many things can Hope actually ignore. Hope is one of the few aspects that can resurrect a dead Player, even if the Resurrection is not a healer. You just… sort of ignore the death strong enough. Hope resists things, it doesn’t allow them to happen. It’s probably the only thing I like about Hope.

Also, some tips: Hope is easily affected by Angelight, so it’s good to have always some chocolate in handy to neutralize it. Hope gets lonely,isolated and has… Problems when it comes to actual hoping. Keep contacts with your friends, it’s very important. It is good to warn them in advance, so they don’t push you away when you are clingy.

Sometimes Lords have the feeling “I am the ultimate Active Class, I don’t need anybody else.” You do. trust me, you do.Lords can often go Player-Killer if not checked upon, so be careful with that. The fact, that you can shape your Aspect into any form you want, doesn’t mean that you should.

You may find out that Classpects are assigned to Players as a challenge. That means “I got this Classpect that fits me the least.” It actually fits you well, but on that “I hope I never have to show this side of myself” level.

Long description short: you need to keep your friends around, open up and be honest about yourself (and some antidepressants can do miracles).

You should be able to ask either your Sprite, Consorts or Carapacians “Who are the Heroes of Skia?”. They are scripted to name all players by their Classpect Title with you as the last one, no matter what your Classpect is(Very useful in the times when instead of you title [Class] of Mist any game structure were using another Player’s Title when talking to you. Good thing we fixed that.).

However, if you assume you are the Lord of Light...

The Class of Lords: “Lord is the one who shapes the [Aspect]” Therefore you don’t create it or change it. You just simply tell your Aspect what it should do and where it should be.However, that means there has to be your Aspect in some form around already, as you can’t just make up some or convert something to it.

Light: It can be divided into four main ways, Illumination, Enlightenment, Fortune and Information. Lord of Light is bound to stand very visible and be known about. It is not them who brings the information about the situation, rather they are the one who work with them. They are also bound to explain stuff to other, be the one who knows their chances and shapes them to the better one. They can also lighten up the mood.In short, Lord of Light is the player who has to inform others, turn the odds in the party’s favor, makes other people realize things. Lord of Light, when it comes to combat, depends on blinding and burning their opponent.
