hello!!!! i LOVE your analysis, i think it gives such a breath of fresh air into the theorycrafting surrounding classpects that has been sorely missing for quite some time!! for my question, i’m wondering if you could delineate between rogues and sylphs? both seem to be helping hands to the party who provide their aspect to the group and wish to be appreciated for it. i believe in “traditional” classpect theory the difference is that sylphs create their aspect while rogues steal it from somewhere else, is that the same here? thank you so much!!!

i swear to god i’m gonna do the big post of “if you’re torn between these classes, here’s the delineation” i’m just catching a cold or flu or something??? and i feel awful weh

I have no idea what traditional classpect theory is and am immediately suspicious. /squints

Rogues and Sylphs share the paggro thing but Rogues are the Maestros of it. And Sylphs are much more dramatic in their operation. The way they operate is more rooted in the utility of their aspect, if that makes sense? Use instead of supply.

Also not to be mean to Rogues but Sylphs are more mature. I feel like a good sign of Sylphdom is if you matured very early, very rapidly. If you got told “you’re so mature for your age” and didn’t wind up being a basketcase with huge emotional issues to work out later, you’re definitely a Sylph.

I also feel like Sylphs figure out themselves much faster than Rogues do. Again, maturity thing, but a Sylph’s primary conflict is probably not internal but external. But that self-certainty they have can lead to fucking things up or overreacting.

Meanwhile a Rogue has a lot more internal shit to work through and that’s part of their arc, arguably. Looking at our selection of players of each class, I feel fairly confident in saying the Rogue’s main antagonist is a lack of emotional fulfillment inside themselves.

i hope this one is coherent, i’m kinda sick at the moment, apologies
