The Bard of Life is someone who is closed off and reserved at first, they don’t have many friends or people close to them, but they prefer it this way so that they can relax in their own solitude. They might seem overly cautious or pessimistic, they strictly follow and enforce the rules, and they might come across as incredibly non-confrontational. This will change one day when the Bard might come across something that makes them want to break the rules and act out like they never had before.

The Bard of Life will have an inner awakening, and it’s at that point when their views on the world will change and they will become more inviting, more optimistic, more destructive. They invite the destruction of Life around them, they sacrifice and break the bonds and lives of those closest to them for their own gain, no matter how small or insignificant. Anything they can do to make sure that they can get ahead and win in life, they will make sure to do it.

THE BARD-HEIR OF HOPE-SPACE

The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space is someone who is a ticking time bomb of destruction, slowly being pushed closer and closer to the day that they “explode” and begin to spiral down the path of destroying all the Hope-Space that surrounds them and all of their friends and family. The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space is someone who begins ghosting their aspects, someone who is completely devoid of Hope and is very stuck in their own ways, but as they grow and learn about their aspects, they become more interested in them and slowly but surely, they find themselves growing into their Heir-like nature of becoming their aspects.

The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space will eventually realise what they’ve become, a symbol of positivity and Hope, someone who searches for meaning in everything and is constantly looking to have knowledge so that they may protect those closest to them and create the perfect life, destined to create the perfect universe for themself. The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space will then, in a fit of anger and disgust, break down and destroy their life and all the lives of those they’ve surrounded themself with, breaking down everything they’ve created in search of a better life, and destroying all the pillars they could’ve used to make a better world.

The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space is part Bard of Hope, which means that they kill the joy and positivity and optimism in people’s hearts, spreading fear and sadness to all of those that interact with them. They can be a beacon of positivity at times, seemingly very happy and outgoing, but know that this will never last for very long as they will almost always be a bearer of bad news and destruction wherever they go.

The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space is part Bard of Space, which means that they are likely a creative mind, but they’re stagnant and never seem to go anywhere with their ideas and instead let their creativity wither and rot. They can never seem to focus on the things that matter, but they have the memory of a God and can never seem to forget anything, even if you want them to forget it.

The Bard-Heir of Hope-Space is part Heir of Hope, which means that they like to believe that there’s true good in the world, even if they know that they’re not it, and they can seem relentlessly positive at times and like they can never be hurt by anyone or anything. They could be something of a guardian angel, a protective force, and a saint to those closest to them, and no matter what they’re devoted to whatever they’re interested in currently.

The Bard of Rage is someone who is very relaxed and chill, not a care in the world, and no drama too interesting enough for them to decide to stick their head into and get involved with. The Bard of Rage doesn’t care about much and has nothing really going on in their lives, but underneath the surface their Rage slowly grows, day after day until they’re had enough. When they finally reach their breaking point, the Bard will lash out in anger with Rage, using their Rage to destroy and corrupt everything and everyone around them.

No one is safe when the Bard of Rage snaps, because they are known to hold a grudge and they refuse to forgive and forget, so you know that revenge is always on the horizon. They take all of their emotions that they’ve been pushing down inside of them, all of the anger and rage and fear and mistrust, and they channel it into their fit of destruction.

The Bard of Heart

The Bard of Heart is someone who acts very quiet and apathetic, not showing emotions or letting their true feelings come into the light. The Bard of Heart is great at switching the topic off of them or their emotions, being a master at avoiding the things they don’t want to talk about.

They might go out of their way to avoid those of whom are overly passionate or emotional, being made uncomfortable being around those kinds of people due to it making their own feelings bubble up to the surface. The Bard of Heart is better at blending into a crowd and just going with the flow rather than standing out, they like to be as normal and not-unique as possible. The Bard of Heart would then one day be confronted with their feelings, their inner self that they repressed, either from someone learning something that the Bard didn’t want them to or the Bard slipped up and showed a little bit of themself to someone.

The Bard of Mind

The Bard of Mind is someone who destroys Mind in a way that makes them seem like a Heart player, being overly emotional sometimes and trying their best to not seem cold or apathetic other times. The Bard of Mind might act impulsively without reasoning and tend to default to their emotional outbursts rather than taking a calm, logical step towards their goals.

They know what they really want and they know how to get it, and they’re very secure in their likes and dislikes without doubting themselves or thinking that they’ll be made fun of for their likes. The Bard of Mind will change though, when they one day go through something or think of something that causes them to change and begin to think more rationally.

The Bard of Breath

The Bard of Breath is someone who seems very strict and inflexible, grounded in their actions and ways of thinking, never moving for anyone or anything. When they have to make decisions, they always make sure to consult everyone else on their opinions or else they’ll never make a decision.

They can seem very unselfish and caring, which contrasts their usual strict demeanour and indifference. However, something will happen to the Bard of Breath wherein they’ll stop and realise that they’ve been wrong in their actions the whole time, and pretty much do a personality 180°.

The Bard of Void

The Bard of Void is someone who acts much like a Light player in their actions, constantly needing to be in the spotlight and to have all eyes on them and to be recognized for the things they’ve done. The Bard of Void likes the attention, the noise, the people and the sounds, they like to be noticed and to have people see them and acknowledge that they’re there in the vicinity.

They are probably outgoing and social, they like to be the only one in the spotlight and they strive for that attention. The Bard of Void will eventually come to realise that maybe they’re not as important as they thought they were and that they play a much more minute role in the overarching story. The Bard of Void will begin to shy away from people and from the crowds that they’d once loved so much, becoming more of an introvert and staying on their own, hiding in the shadows.

The Bard of Time

The Bard of Time is someone who is impatient and jumpy, but they just bury it deep inside and don’t show others, instead putting on a show of being quiet and patient and not seeming like a Time player in the slightest. The Bard of Time is open-minded and creative, often jumping between projects that interest them and keep them happy, but then they get bored midway through it and abandon it for a different project.

They have a keen eye for design and fashion, but they’re quieter about this like many of their other interests because they don’t want to seem weird or unlikable because of it. The Bard of Time will eventually have to face their fears and come to terms with the fact that they can’t just always keep running, they have to eventually face the fact that Time never stops, it’s always ticking, and Time’s arrow just keeps marching.
