Specific Classpect: Rogue of Breath

Sup, someone dropped me a tip and asked for more thoughts on the Rogue Of Breath classpect. Sure thing!

We already have one Rogue of Breath, but as we all know, the majority of the Dancestors are used primarily as jokes, which makes it a little hard to use them as a basis for analysis. My main goal was to just try to keep things consistent. Rufioh does not tell us as much about Rogues as Roxy does, but I don’t want to just discard stuff because it makes the task more difficult, obviously.

So, Rogue of Breath would be one who distributes freedom to their team. The big takeaway I had from trying to close-read Rufioh Nitram was that he was often an outlet for other’s people’s freedom and exploration but he himself didn’t always get a lot out of the relationships, and was himself rather flighty. (lmao? eh)

Thus you may think of a RoB as someone who helps the members of their team break loose from something that is confining them. Or, break is not the word… Break is the Hope word, not the Breath word. Breath lets a person slip sinuously out of the bounds that hold them. So a RoB would help their allies do that, to slip the leash of their restraints as it were.

But I think it would be like guiding someone out of a Labyrinth that you were then required to go back in. A Rogue of Breath would do the work, guide each of their friends out of the confinement, but feel like their own escape was being put off and off, and it would make them jaded. Which becomes difficult when they want a break, or for someone to free them for once, but they’re the only one who knows the way.

For a Rogue of Breath, I would suggest they explain their frustrations to a capable friend they have to see if someone can’t share the load a bit.
