ah sorry! must have gotten caught up, i’ll get to it now! it’s been a while since i’ve done a traditional analysis

The Mage of Hope is someone who understands Hope and learns from their experience with Hope. They also suffer from Hope, and use this experience and the information they get from it to better understand their aspect and how to wield it.

The Mage of Hope would start off having numerous bad experiences with Hope. Perhaps they have had bad history with some kind of religious institution, or somehow feel alienated with the general passion of belief. They would likely have either too much belief and nowhere to put it, or no belief whatsoever, being a passive role in the world.

The Mage of Hope would probably struggle with interpersonal AND intrapersonal relationships, being too afraid of ruining things to try and make things better not only with other people, but also within themselves. However, this does not mean the Mage of Hope would be timid and shy - it just means that they’re likely to suffer from a real sense of what is right and wrong.

Eventually, the Mage of Hope would need to learn from their suffering how to properly deal with Hope. They would need to find something proper to believe in, but also to broaden their horizons and not just focus on one particular thing, similar to a jack-of-all-trades. They would become someone who anyone can talk to about what to believe in, but would also be able to look within themselves for answers, and would likely become less self-deprecating.

I certainly can share them! 

The Thief of Rage is someone who steals power, stubbornness, fear, and anger. This leads to a very interesting combination, as it seems a little illogical to steal other people’s fear and anger, but we’ll get to that!

A Thief of Rage would be incredibly stubborn and incredibly arrogant, probably the most of any class. They would look down on most other people and would steal the power of anyone who dared defy them, whether social power or physical (weapons, etc) power. They would also be quite devious and successful at fighting!

The Thief would still have friends, and probably wouldn’t manipulate them as much, but would still keep them around as possible pawns, meaning they might not have much emotion for them. This also ties in with how they steal anger - they might be low-empathy and want to feel as passionate about the causes they care about, or simply might want to help someone out (though i doubt that for a Thief!)

In order to successfully develop, the Thief needs to learn how to be part of the team, and use their abilities to best suit everyone, not just themselves. Of course, this could be most obvious by taking some emotional baggage by stealing the fear from others, and perhaps using it as a weapon against their foes!
