I-I think I see where you're coming from? Like-aesthetic and abilities right? Which... isn't quite how classpects work.

Space is a visual-arts based aspect as far as themes and symbolism go. This is shown in both canon Virgos, n might have also been shown in Jade (I haven't fully read homestuck in a year, so I don't recall) This doesn't really fit him! It's more equal to Eve's approach, n I'll revisit that.

I'd say DJ would probably be an indigo Knight of Light. This is because he acts very high and mighty, very good with his knowledge and skill, but there are several things, such as his opinion on Pluto, which could very well be deep insecurities showing through. No doubt that space head of his was probably volatile when he was younger, and might still be, with the black hole-esque effect after his helmet was broken in the last stage of his fight. Indigo feels like the right caste for him for the reason that he's the sort of person to hurt someone accidentally with a brash word, and, even if he regrets it, may not take those words back. Indigos are also the type of people to be enthusiastic about their interests (like space!!!) and be able to lift others up when they're in a good mood.

Sayu does feel like a Hope player doesn't she? I agree with you there. She seems like an olive blood heir specifically. Olives are known to be wonderful friends, with amazing luck on knowing when to cheer others up. Heirs 'inherit' thier aspect, and gain power through their deep connection to it. An Heir of Hope wouldn't really believe in consequences, instead traveling along with nary a ruffled feather. This corresponds well with how Sayu was in her fight, not believing B2J was a threat until near the very end of her battle.

I can see where you're coming from with Yinu as a Life player. To me, she seems like a lime Page of Heart. She's trying to find herself. Her own work, her own style, her own way. Her mother however, who seems like a purple Sylph of Blood to me, is muddling that by interfering and screwing up Yinu's attempts. This isn't intentional of course, but the end is the same. As for the castes, Yinu seems lime because she's generally collected (as much as she can be for her age) but explodes into anger when provoked, and her mother is very fixated on her goals of keeping Yinu and her career safe, as well as a very solid person with the life we see her leading.

I completely disagree with your stance on 1010. Full stop. They are canonly shown to each have distinct and separate personas, and no doubt who they are under that is very different from each other as well. The only reason I am unable to fully classpect them is because they aren't very fleshed out. We see personality, but not enough of it to make a legitimate statement. Now, thier captain, Neon J, well. We don't really know what he was like before the war! But you can rule out some classes, like Sylph and Prince, based on how those classes interact with others. What I do know is I can see him as a jade Doom player. He is the type to be very strict about rules and requirements, to the point of being very nitpicky about it and annoying others with that. Jade is also a caste very much associated with taking care of others, which could definitely be his situation with Yinu & 1010!

Eve is an interesting person. My initial thought for her is Space because of its links to the visual arts, but that doesn't really fit as well when you consider everything. I'd say a better fit is a fuchsia Page of Heart. Fuchsias aren't easy to understand from an outside perspective, that much is known. That is lent to by the fact that they're lost in thier own mind, goals, wishes, and dreams much of the time. Pages don't have much skill with thier aspect at first, and since Heart is about oneself, that really makes sense with her journey as we see it.

Tatiana to me SEEMED a teal Maid of Doom. But I took a long think n she fits better as a Bard of Hope!!!! At first, she was lost in her own interests and dream, seeing the ideal side of the Goolings, as well as everything that went with. When things piled up n she realized the issues, she unintentionally gave her classpect full control and ripped her (at the time) current life APART. She entirely changed everything, even banning rock when it was brought up to her again. When the revolution happened, she came back to her senses and began to make reparations.

For B2J, May feels like a lime Witch of Time (same reasons as Yinu for caste. They're p chill until provoked) & Zuke like a bronze Mage of Space. Witches are often cheerful or bright, and rebel against parts of thier aspect, twisting it into something unexpected. Some of Time's symbolism encapsulates things like music, destruction, and toxic masculinity. I feel like May might have had to deal with toxic masculinity, due to being more rough and tumble than girls are expected to be in the majority of society, especially with rock being such a male dominated genre. She's shown to be fairly destructive, even unintentionally, such as destroying Yinu's rose stage and piano at the end of that fight (piano was definitely unintentional, but with the sound chosen? May swung her guitar right at the gold rose with destructive intent. At least the rose. Yinu's defeat cover also shows an intentional wrecking of the piano), and wrecking Sayu & 1010's reputation. Bronzes are introverts in the way how everyone seems to see introverts. They're often quiet, and don't really speak up if they get annoyed about an interruption in thier routine. They also stick to thier interests, and often look for creature comforts. I'd say Zuke's a Mage of Space because of his significant connection to the arts, and the big picture view he seems to foster. Mage in particular for how much good and bad all of that has done to his life, and the things its shown to have taught him.

Lastly, DK West seems like an indigo Prince of Blood. Indigo for the same reasons as DJ, except fully canon. Princes are known to destroy thier aspect, with thier challenge being to get that under control in order to connect with others, which is difficult because thier relationships never seem to work out right. Sound familiar? Blood as an aspect symbolizes connections, ties to family and friends and culture and a person's roots. DK shows all of this. He has a powerful connection to Vinyl City, Deep destructive ties to both his brother, Zuke, and and old friend, (from his perspective) Eve. He's very in tune with Malay culture, which, Malasia is both where the game came from, and the location it's based on. There a LOT of references to this. He's also very in tune with the people of the city as a whole, with his music stirring a near revolution, despite the fact he doesn't want it to.

--

So yeah. That turned out MUCH longer than I thought it would (took up 3 whole pages in my notes app) and I hope that it makes sense.

EDIT: I fuckin forgot our resident garbage rock man!!!! So yea, here he is

Daenerys is pretty solidly Witch of Rage.

Sansa is pretty solidly Maid of Hope.

Arya is the Time player, for associations with death (even though I'm sending her into the Medium before she can leave for Braavos). Class is probably Rogue, though I thought about Thief.

Bran is the Space player. Class might be Seer (for Seeing, plus "relates to other people in the abstract" and "try telling them they're wrong. I dare you.") or Bard (for the lack of boundaries and general WTFery of body-borrowing), or maybe Mage (active understanding).

Jon is probably Prince of Void, though Heir could do.

Robb is the/a Heart player, probably Heir, though I thought about Knight. He'd be Knight if the Game had grabbed him early enough in the plot.

Samwell is the/a Light player, and probably Mage. I've also considered noncanon class Gnome [passive accumulation class, tilts male, with a ''mythological role" similar to Sylph?] Or he could be Sylph, actually…

Theon is either Thief or Bard. (He has the selfishness for Thief but I don't know about the flair. Being kind of a creeper at times fits for Bard, and he can be embarrassing, and there's the general WTFery.) Aspect is either Blood or Breath, because he's desperate for both connections and freedom.

And I think that exhausts the list of 'people I would definitely include'. However, the gender ratio is unbalanced, and Danaerys is definitely the odd one out, and there are lot of other young-ish characters in the books with miserable fates that getting yoinked into a Game session never to return might actually improve…

Jeyne Poole would probably be Page or something noncanon, and maybe Life? Or maybe noncanon Aspect Bone [caution, indecision, taking a supporting role].

Gendry could be Rage or Doom, and maybe Knight? Or I have him as noncanon 'Clerk' in one of my drafts but I'm not sure what that's meant to signify…

Shireen I have down as Sylph, but Page might be better. For aspect I have Doom or noncanon Grief [conflict (vs. peace), struggle (vs. acceptance), chaos (vs. order)]… actually maybe she'd be better with Peace [peace (vs. conflict), order (vs. chaos), acceptance (vs. struggle)]?

Margaery would be the/a Mind player. She could be Sylph. She could also be Bard, or noncanon class Dame [mythological role "the dame walked into my office and I knew she was trouble"].

Jeyne Westerling would probably be Breath player, and either Page or something noncanon.

Quentyn I've considered for Mage, Seer, Knight, and Heir. I'm leaning Knight? I shouldn't be considering him for anything I did not read that book carefully enough. For Aspect, Doom? Or noncanon Stone [permanence, stability, not reactivity or responsiveness]?

Myrcella would probably be a Blood player, or I also have Life down apparently? Class either Maid or something noncanon.

Loras could be Heir or Prince? Or Knight, I suppose, or something noncanon. If we're repeating classes/aspects he's probably Heir of Mind. If not, something of noncanon Aspect Charm.

Arianne would probably be Breath or noncanon Fire [transitoriness, reactivity] or Nerve [Recklessness. Impulse. Decisiveness. Taking control.] Maid works well, but she could carry Thief.

Podrick is another candidate for Life. And another candidate for Page, for that matter. Or some noncanon possibilities.

And I don't even have that much of an idea for Tommen or Gilly but I'm not sure I don't want them included…

Okay, I have a roster for a nice reasonable session taking off taking off sometime in the first couple Trials of Apollo books, the Triumvirate pushes a button they shouldn't have, with a roster featuring Seven+Nico, Reyna, Thalia, Will, and Meg. But if I do write this, I will not be writing the reasonable version. I will be writing the unreasonable version, including MC and KC.

In fact I already have a prophecy for the unreasonable version:

Timers count, machines appear / Fate new-spun is already here / Stone stars will fall from alien skies / Twelve and twelve and twelve must rise

Twelve children of the wandering gods / Twelve touch two worlds despite the odds / Twelve their mortal life have ceded / Three games to win or all's defeated

For hope to return from the quest / Solve each puzzle, pass each test / For hope that home will still be there / Smash the veils the earth to spare

But what comes of it after game's end / Will on the choices of the gods depend

That's right, three twelve-person sessions, because... reasons. --Because I kept wanting not to leave out various people and then had to keep things balanced, actually.

Whose fault is it? Interesting question. But somebody or somebodies did it on purpose. It was distributed as a fun and innocuous game on purpose. Utgard-Loki was almost certainly involved. Prometheus was almost certainly involved. But it wasn't just them.

I have quite a few notes on entry sequence, and people who were planning to play together but the game wouldn't allow them to connect because they're in different sessions, and people who were not planning to play together but ended up connected, and people who were supposed to be unavailable but weren't.

Three hundred years ago, it resurfaced. A diadem partially covered in lead: how strange.

Thirty years ago there was a fire. The lead melted. The diadem didn't.

Three years ago a diadem entered the questionably legal antiquities market.

Three days ago Chloe Bourgeois accompanied her father to a private auction, and recognized in one of the pieces a certain… something, and simply had to have it.

Three hours ago she put it on.

"Hello," said Croaak.

"Destiny and creation!" said Croaak.

"Oh, well, the Ladybug isn't half bad," said Croaak. "Perfectly respectable. But obviously I'm stronger."

"So the Ladybug is nearby, then? I can detect other Miraculous and holders, that sort of thing, but only once my special ability has been activated -- more of a side effect," said Croaak.

"Do you want to try it out?" said Croaak. "The transformation key is 'log on'."

"The special ability is Genesis."

(In Chloe's defense, none of Paris's other heroes or villains would have anticipated what happened next, either.)

(In Croaak's defense, being at the bottom of the ocean for 2700 years wouldn't do anyone's mental health any good.)

(In Iason of Thebes's defense, he was the sole survivor of a team of twelve, the regional Guardians had been annihilated along with two towns and a temple complex, and Croaak had declared it all a smashing success.)

Marinette: Rogue of Life, Prospit

Adrien: Heir of Heart, Derse

Alya: Witch of Light, Prospit

Nino: Knight of Breath, Derse

Chloe: Queen of Rage, Derse

Kagami: Seer of Time, Derse

Luka: Mage of Space, Prospit

So, yeah, this is what the Frog Miraculous does. Genesis picks Heroes -- it usually prefers Miraculous holders (including the Frog holder) or at least people who vibe with an available Miraculous, but it can be flexible. If they aren't actually currently holding the Miraculous they're likely not to realize they're being influenced until it's too late to back out. Other kwami tend not to like this very much.

Canon divergence during Days. It's DiZ's fault. He gets impatient with Namine and Riku dragging their feet over dealing with Xion, and adapts some code (which he really doesn't fully understand) to access a 'world where hearts may be mended and merged' (which he also doesn't understand) where he can send Sora and the Nobody and the shell to recombine. He tricks Roxas and Xion, pressures Namine, misleads Riku, and of course Sora's still helpless. DiZ doesn't plan to get Kairi involved, but Riku gets desperate eventually.

Roster:

Sora: Knight of Heart, Prospit dreamer, Land of Waves and Shadows, consorts are doves, Denizen is Zagreus

Riku: Rogue of Life, Derse dreamer, Land of Flint and Specters, consorts are parrots, Denizen is Ladon

Kairi: Witch of Hope, Prospit dreamer, Land of Bronze and Jellyfish, consorts are iguanas, Denizen is Hekate

Roxas: Prince of Rage, Prospit dreamer, Land of Arks and Statues, consorts are tuataras, Denizen is Sabaoth

Xion: Mage of Void, Derse dreamer, Land of Marsh and Catacombs, consorts are cuckoos, Denizen is Nix

Namine: Sylph of Mind, Derse dreamer, Land of Cycles and Eclipse, consorts are pythons, Denizen is Sphinx

It's a null session; they eventually leave via Dark Corridor.

In the end due to their universe's weird cosmology their worlds are all small enough most of the meteors miss (apart from a small one growing a miniature frog temple on Yen Sid's lawn). Sora's awake and has his memories, and though he doesn't have all his old skills back he has some new ones to make up for it. Roxas and Xion and Namine have their own, stable existences. Riku has at least 95% less Ansem in his head. Kairi can hopesplode things with her mind. Organization 13 is definitely not going to see this coming.

Everyone is still pretty mad at DiZ, though. Gonna be a bit of a headache for Yen Sid, too. And Axel is going to be very confused.
