#seer class

last i checked, Hussie said inversions weren’t really a canon-intended part of Classpects, so they almost certainly made this chart without inverted pairs in mind. i still firmly believe inversions are a thing, though. Rose acting as a Witch of Void is one of the most obvious, off the top of my head, but Jade tried to play the role of a Seer of Time for a bit (and not very well) and i’m sure we can find other examples of characters at least teasing the edges of their inversion flips, if not committing.

so, according to the chart, Mages and Seers are paired, which has been the broad consensus in Classpect analysis spaces for a while. a lot of folks would claim that the Mage/Seer pair inverts to the Witch-Heir pair. but wait! The Chart™️ says that Witches are paired with Sylphs, and Heirs with Maids! am i suggesting that Mages and Sylphs are an inverted pair?

yes. yes, i am.

Sure! Coincidentally that's the title i speculate that one of my friends who's very proeminent on tumblr ( @da-janela-lateral ) has, which means i already have some thoughts baked in around it.

Life deals with something deeper than just Life itself: It talks about Power. Specifically, the Power to impose your own will and to not be limited by anything, ever. That's why it opposes the idea of Doom, the idea of Impotence, the idea of Obedience. That's why Life players are generally really wealthy, influential and powerful people, and why it also connects to things that give energy to us such as Food.

The Seer is someone who studies their main Aspect by using its opposite as a source. Rose consulted the Horrorterrors and Doc Scratch (an entity she didnt exactly knew very well about and used to leave pretty vague about information although he infact did never lie) as a way to get information (Light), and Terezi used roleplay and impersonation/assumption (Heart motif) as a way of tracing logic (Mind) between the facts.

All Seers have an object tied to their Opposite Aspect that they use to understand their main Aspect, in the case of our Seer of Life, this would be an object that is tied to the nature of Doom. Since Doom is tied to anything that follows a strict order/ruleset as well of the idea of restriction, we could very well have a Seer that tries to understand Life (can represent literal biology, relationships of power between people, literally food, etc.) by restricting their interpretations solely to what their trusty Book says (Understanding Life through Limitation), we could have a Seer that understands the Biology of Sburb creatures by analysing their corpses (Understanding Life through Death), we could have a Seer that's creating a specific ruleset to determine how Life works (think of the laws of nature such as Natural Selection), we can even have a Seer that wants to learn how to cook by restricting themselves only to what they have at their location (Understanding Life through Limitation again) and many more possibilities.

The Seer's issues is that since they use their opposite Aspect as a source, they can very easily corrupt themselves into following their Opposite instead of trying to understand their main Aspect better, which is never a good thing for them. This isn't solely literal like Rose's Grimdark form, but metaphorical as well (Remember each time Terezi accidently let her emotions get in the way of what she was logically supposed to do when executing a plan?)

In the case of our Seer of Life, they would have a tendency to act more accordingly to Doom that they would need to resist by any means. Their limited perspective of Life would hinder themselves to comprehend it fully, maybe they would hunt so much creatures that it would lead to their extinction (Death), maybe they would limit their interpretation to solely analysing patterns of behaviour, which doesn't correspond to fully understanding Life (Destiny), maybe they would obey something or someone to comprehend Life, such as the trusty book scenario i thought earlier, but this would also limit their understanding and make them overly submissive/obedient (Obedience or Impotence), you could even pull of a Crockertier on them or another type of Grimdark, just remembering to keep it tied to the core concept of Doom. The general idea is that our Seer can become so attached to Doom that they hinder themselves from understanding Life, which is a problem that it's possible but difficult to solve, and that leads to great consequences down the road.

I have constant existential crisis due to overthinking of my purpose and how my purpose affects the people around me. I also question if there's an outside influence that affects us. I tend to loose focus on my social interactions when I'm distracted with personal and emotional stuff which causes me to hyperfocus on insignificant things and it takes my family and loved ones to help me get back to earth. I also have major trust issues and it takes me awhile to bond with people but if I do trust you, I'll protect and defend you forever. I also collect plushies of things I like to help me with my depression and anxiety and my inner fear of loosing people. I'll also add that I question everything, even my own personal sense of mindset. I do have a sense of belief but I can be skeptical of people, but I can also be gullible if a person appears to be in a crisis, I can be a people pleaser at times, and I have an urge to save and protect people from danger or anything toxic they're going through. I tend to be the mediator between my friends when they're arguing, tho it cause me to be burned out and exhausted. I do love old horror movies, the more obscure the better, and I love classic anime and cartoons. I'm person who takes things either too literal or not at all, Depends on what I read, either I take things as legit or am skeptical. Thus my weird inconsistent trusting. I have trust issues but if someone is need, all logic goes out the window if they're in danger. That's why I'll be the one person who'll be killed by a feral animal if I want to save them. But I have enough self-preservation to not go near anything more wild then a stray cat or dog. But my ass wants to rescue all the abandoned pets, I also tend to deep dive into weird iceberg videos about random things and will go onto random tangents until someone brings me into reality. Again if you don't do this kinda thing you can ignore this ask

This is my favorite kind of ask!!! Let's figure out your classpect!!! Yay!!! :D

Your purpose... Outside influence... Struggling with executive function... Needs grounding sometimes... Trust issues... Blood/Breath? Seer... Protect and defend trust... Knight? Fear of losing people... Question everything... Seer? Belief/Skepticism... Bleeding heart... Helpful... Rogue? People pleaser, save/protect others... Mediator... Black and white thinking... This struggle with the truth seems to be centered around if other people are trustworthy, not if the information is trustworthy. Iceberg/Deep dive... Ball of thread thinking...

Ok, I'm gonna leave my notes in here just in case you're interested. I think you're a Seer of Blood. Seers struggle with choice. Seers start out not paying much attention to their aspect, or using it to stoke their interest in their opposite aspect. Rose is very interested in Freudian psychology, particularly the subconscious mind, and she has a grimoire of the horrorterrors that she has basically memorized. And Terezi at the beginning is using a flawed "justice system" to execute her scalemates because she thinks it's fun. She likes the idea of detective and lawyer and judge, but she doesn't actually use Mind very much in playing detective/lawyer/judge. As the characters grow, they understand more and more what their aspect is really about.

A Seer of Blood... I think this person might start out with the idea or desire to be this very stable anchor for the people they care about. But they have a lot of Breath in their life. Breath is kind of what Seering is all about, it's like action and choice and spreading paths and potential and shit. Blood is very much like a rock or something. It's like tied in place. So this Seer would particularly wonder how they fit into the world... Like where they're supposed to go, who they're supposed to help.

Seer, I advise you that when you're overthinking the connections in your life, take some time to observe the Blood around you. And go out looking for it! Watch how married couples argue and make up. Watch what the baristas do when you get coffee. Watch an exhausted parent with their kid in the play center at the mall. And remember that these people weren't handed these roles and obligations. Rome wasn't built in a day! You seem like a young adult, and the one thing young adults have a lot of is disconnection. It's something we all go through; it comes with the territory of building your own life that you feel comfortable living in.

I'm actually wondering if you might be a Seer of Breath. Knowing that Seers are very interested in their opposite aspect and have to learn to be comfortable with their own. Try asking people around you what they were doing at your age and what their job description is and how long they've had that job and if they like what they do. There are so many ways to live, and there are so many places that would love your help when you're ready.

i'm a certified seer of hope fan. it's a classpect with a lot going for it. i think there's a lot of character potential there, especially - somebody who only ever sees the good in any possible situation, always looking for some kind of silver lining, blinded by their own positivity. hope players already tend to be kind of naive, and being a seer just amplifies that. can make for some really fun character interactions.

Seer- see and understand their aspect. They use the information to manipulate it.

Breath- major themes of freedom, air, wind, breath, and flexibility. Minor themes of direction and change.

The Seer of Breath. One that sees and understands freedom, air, and direction. Through it, they control it.

One with the Force.

Abilities

Flow

The Seer of Breath is one that sees direction and change, one that understands the flow, the movement of past to present and then to future. The Seer is capable of following the trajectory of objects, people, and events and the ways they move and play out. To the Seer, every move made has weight and they can determine each possible outcome. This could give the Seer a superhuman sense of balance and agility, having a keen awareness of their weight and motion. They may even develop an immunity to vertigo.

At lower levels the oracle is probably something of a predictor, someone with a strong analytical side, either logical or emotional, for things. Someone that pays attention to plot themes, someone that wants to guess the mystery before it is revealed. The Seer is capable of small forms of divination, using the sky, movement of clouds, the flight patterns of birds, pendulums, or other similar methods to help them focus on the path of things. The winds of fate blow and they can feel it, using some focus to find developing patterns. They are susceptible to an overexposure of information, with a large number of variables quickly confusing them and drowning them with possibilities.

At medium levels the Seer’s acuity has developed into a flow state, being able to tap into the path of least resistance and follow its course, naturally able to shift into this state and being able to push others into it. This flow state is characterized by extreme awareness of one’s body and surroundings, giving them precise and fluid movement, increased efficiency, and incredible evasion. This state is so firmly In The Zone it is quick and efficient action and supreme reaction, akin to Ultra Instinct or Spider Sense. While this flow state is powerful, it requires a degree of focus to use, being disrupted by mental chaos, such as fear, anger, overstimulation, etc.

At higher levels the Seer’s flowstate is constant, effortless, having learned to let go and find peace in the process. Very little could disrupt the Seer’s flow state, able to keep a calm and clear head in even the most hectic of situations. Through this flow state the Seer may have reached a sort of transcendence past mental effects, allowing effects like sonic screeches or mind control to simply bounce off their brain. As the Seer’s flow state is perfected, so are their allies, allowing their entire team to move through and past any obstacle, no matter how difficult or daunting. There is always a path of least resistance, always a way out through or out.

Listen to the wind

The Seer of Breath is one that senses the literal air and wind, enhancing their senses of hearing and smell many times over. The Seer looks outwards to the world around them, able to sense the air and all movement therein with incredible accuracy. They detect everything in the air and all that moves through it.

At early levels the Seer has exceptional hearing or smell, able to accurately pick out minor sounds or scents with clarity, even over considerable distances. Even faint traces could be detected by the Seer. As the seer begins to hone their abilities they would realize they possess a 6th sense for the air, able to feel movements and shifts in it. These shifts can be something moving quickly and causing air disturbances to something so minor as being able to sense the breathing of a creature from a few yards away. The air always gives away who was near, the physical traces of their breath lingering in the air as carbon dioxide. 

As the Seer of Breath progresses further, these ranges and accuracy will develop rapidly. The range of the immediate area quickly becoming almost line of sight, hundreds or even thousands of feet. Their senses would grow to even encompass others, able to pass through allies and even enemies, tapping into their sense of hearing or smell. They may be able to create small familiars to act as spies, tracers, and audio bugs. Creatures can simply speak the name of the Seer out loud and it can get their attention, even across vast distances. The Seer is always listening… and if they’re the Terezi sort, they are always smelling, too. They may have developed a sort of echolocation, sense tremors in the earth, or hear radio waves.

At higher levels the Seer’s senses easily encompass entire worlds, possibly even the entire session itself. Every movement, every shift, down to the movement of atoms. The Seer of Breath can hear the vibration of molecules and the sound of distant murmuring horrorterrors. Or perhaps they can smell your organs from miles away, pursuing you as a bloodhound, tracking everywhere you have been to everywhere you will go. 

At their greatest level of awareness the Seer has unlocked a sort of psychometry, able to find traces on objects, people, or places, far too small for any other being to detect. A loose grain of sand that could only be from a particular desert, a distinct sound that could only come from a metal pot built in the 1800s, etc. Truly BBC Sherlock levels of absurd deductions.
