#fan classes

Fanclasses bcs why not, we got, vigilante and hermit:

Hermit: class that travels with/through their aspect.

Vigilante: class that guards with/through their aspect.

They both are observant classes, that recolect key points of infomation and deduce things (just that in different ways!) the sherlock holmes of classes one may say.

For example:

A hermit's aproach to obsevation would be up close and with experience, observing things from where they originate.

ive been thinking about what i would do if i could design my own god tier classes so ive created: the fool and the emperor

the fool becomes their aspect/through their aspect and the emperor commands their aspect/through their aspect

I made two of my own “Fan Classes”

They belong to a group called “Protecter Classes” and Basically use their aspect to protect others (hope - Keeping people’s spirits up, Life - making sure people don’t die, etc.) and they also protect their aspect (the time protector would make sure those time hoppings are neat and orderly or else)

I mostly haven’t engaged with fan classes and aspects, so I’m not sure I can say. But there are circumstances under which I can imagine them being crafted in some pretty interesting ways, provided enough depth and foresight. This is particularly true for the Classes, I think–I can see a different story describing the same rough existential behaviors through different Archetypes, and I think that approach has a lot of room for character depth.

For example, it seems to me Maids and Sylphs are linked to Fairies in Homestuck. This is because they “Make” their Aspect, and Homestuck describes them as “Made of” their Aspect in turn. That roughly translates to both classes coming off as sorts of Elementals, embodying their Aspects very intensely. But you could parse the concept of an elemental any number of other ways–you just portray any “imaginary” being strongly related to a concept. Creator Goddesses, Angels, Demons, w.e–seems to me like all of that parses pretty easily.

So I could see a class that has the same fundamental verb and active/passive alignment, but slightly different cultural connotations and presentation that comes along with a different name. That’s an approach I think I’d likely find interesting. And that’s just one example–I can think of other ways one could tease and complicate the system.
