Would a Lord of Space be able to have direct control over the setting? Like, being able control and create all the places in the story
Yes but also not necessarily. A Muse of Space could have a similar power, after all, even though the Lord is the most Active, Caliborn plays with the ‘forces of inevitability’ and passively lets things fall in his favor, and Alt Calliope, the most Passive as a Muse, directly creates the Black Hole to collapse everything.
So either Lord or Muse of Space could Create the Setting and Determine what happens where, but in the Canon we only get to see Calliope influencing things through her Art, her Fanfiction, and eventually Breaking Everything Apart rather than creating it.
What powers would a Rogue of Doom have? and what about a Page of Heart? TYSM!!
Rogue of Doom, taking the Doom that should’ve befallen you or your team and redirecting it sounds like an interesting power! Maybe they would be literally able to deflect damage in an area and towards a specific point or source, but they may also distribute Doom to others, willingly or otherwise, which could get messy.
A Page of Heart would be Served Heart. Served affection and relationships sounds a little bit creepy, but I also could see them merging into a Sprite or a Sprite Squared maybe? Served someone else’s Soul. Of course even though not all Pages need to be able to do an equivalent of a Hope Bubble, I can really not remove the idea of like, a Heart-Shaped Forcefield emitting a glow that makes everyone just stop the fighting and spread the love, while they just scream at the top of their lungs like, “BEHOLD THE POWER OF LOVE”.
That’s such a silly idea that I’m sure it could happen.
Honestly as someone who Commands Hope, belief, and the usual associations with Hope? I am imagining them very literally God-like. Not God-Tier like, like- God Like.
Which classpects do you think would have the most anime like fight scene?
A Page of Blood vs a Thief of Life. Imagine it- The Page, a Class with enormous potential but that starts slow, and with the association to Blood, Friendship. A Thief of Life, killing- Stealing other’s lives, as well as using other people to further their goals. The initial clash, the Thief of Life wins, no problem, but the more the plot advances, the more Power the Page earns thanks to their Friends, managing to become the impossible, and finally unleash their full power against the Thief of Life.
Which god tiers would be the best in armed combat?
A tricky question, but I would imagine the Pages and Knights may excel the most at this. Every Class can wield weapons for sure, but I feel those two are the most prone to ‘equip’ Aspect-Themed weaponry if that makes sense, specially Knights. Princes may work well with that too, though.
Destroying Life sounds as straightforward as it gets with God Tier powers, it seems Princes of Life would be good at murdering the crap out of stuff. Destroying Life and Destroying Nature, but also likely destroying Through life, they may be able to take control of some organic beast and make it theirs. On top of that, the Agency implications of Life makes it likely they would destroy others’ Agencies, their Will and Possibilities, imprisonment of sorts maybe?
A Prince of Time, Destroying Time, Destroying the Timeline, or Destroying through Time, they may be reeeeally bad at Time Loops you know. Destroying the Flow of Time itself may Time Stop, or perhaps like I implied with the Thief, skip time, making the Prince of Time another possible contender for Diavolo’s Classpect.
Also, the Lord of Time, I mean. That’s Caliborn’s powers, and I think the Canon does a good job at showcasing the deep control over the Timeline LE seems to have.
A Prince of Hope is one that could carry the weight of the Team, their beliefs, their hopes, and use this conviction to push through and shatter anything in their path. However as we see with Eridan, they can also just destroy the Team’s hopes. There’s no set Role or Personality for a Prince of Hope, from Heroic Bastions of Hope to… Eridan. Depends on who they are.
Kinda weird but could you explain the role of the denizens in the actual game sense?
The Denizens are one of the Ultimate Challenges the Players face. They are the Beasts that spawn the Underlings that grant you Grist as you go along, they live at the Core of your Planet through an intricate and huge dungeon, and are associated with whatever your Quest is on your Land. And once you reach them, they offer you the Choice.
See, the Game is meant to make you into a God. To make you Rule the new reality you are creating. And the Denizens seem to work as Game Mechanics that ensure only those deserving of it get far enough. Their Choices tend to be either a Request or a Moral Choice. They ask a favor of you in exchange for help, or ask a question to reveal your true morality. Those who are worthy or accomplish their tasks will be rewarded, but for those who don’t pass the test of the Denizens, they can still prove themselves in Battle and fight them to the death. A Test of Willpower, of Strength, of Character, they are Beholders of the Game, Observers of the events of every Timeline, and along with the Royalty, they’re the Final Bosses of SBURB.
Once proven worthy, proven yourself through your sheer strength, through your wits, through your will, they release the Grist Horde, which is one of the necessary components for the Ultimate Alchemy to create the New Universe. In a way, given the Lands are designed around Them and they present the Ultimate Challenge for each Individual Player (With the Royalty being the Ultimate Challenge for the Group as a Whole), you could almost consider them as the Game Masters of the Players’ Personal Quests, both as powerful Final Bosses to test them, and as powerful and wise Guides to show Players what their next step should be.
role/personality for heir of light if you wouldn’t mind?
Changing Knowledge, Changing Ideas, Changing Fortune and Fate, Changing the Alpha, with the ability to do something like that, the role of a Heir of Light would be extremely hard to tell. Again, each specific situation and character would have their own traits, it’s hard to be more Specific than the Lightbound explanation from the Aspect Quiz + the Heir explanation from the Class Quiz without knowing who is this Heir of Light.
I think I’m gonna lay back from the Role/Personality Questions. I can deal with the Power theorizing, but explaining the Personality of a Classpect with my description of the Classes, and the canon descriptions of the Aspects sounds too redundant, and Role is impossible to tell without fully describing the hypothetical scenario. There’s not one way to be a Maid of Light.
Previous anon- what sort of powers would be typical to a Maid of Light?
Improving their own relevancy and fortune, their own luck, they definitely would be able to become a powerful and hard to stop force in their Session. Making their own Fate perhaps, or as Aranea, the Sylph of Light, was trying to do, making their Timeline the Alpha even against the Alpha Timeline’s stipulations to try and un-doom something. Being ‘Made of Light’ too could be a nice play of words if the Maid in question is bioluminiscent or glowing in some capacity.
As I said with the Muse of Rage, this one would definitely be a difficult one to answer, Hope and Rage are rather broad and don’t express themselves as evidently as Time or Space, buuuut given I mentioned the Lord of Hope’s presence to evoke the image of a God in my head, perhaps the Muse of Hope could similarly be deity-like? A Benevolent and Loving Deity inspiring Faith upon those they reach, as opposed to the Lord of Hope’s firmer Command over their believers.
hi, I was just wondering what a knight of heart is like? i got knight on the quiz and i think ive decided on heart, but i'm not sure yet. thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to create the quiz!
No problem! :D As for the Knight of Heart, someone who Serves Heart, they’d likely be affectionate and loving with those they’re protecting, maybe to the point of Clinginess? But they’d fight with all they have, and truly enjoy Serving those they’re protecting. Serving Souls, as I’ve mentioned before with the Page maybe, I believe? Could refer to granting a soul to inanimate things, as well as using various splinters of themselves to protect others. Dirk models a lot of his behavior after that of a Knight thanks to Alpha Dave’s influence, so while the Prince-iness comes out, he does get pretty Knight of Heart-like at times.
They may be able to see through the lies of the system, as well as be able to parse through a chaotic, random system to find exactly what they want! Maybe also see how much bullshit the story pulls on them if you believe the connection between Rage and Narrative Contrivance.
They’d be A N G E R Y. No though, seriously, if you play on the pun, someone Made of Rage would definitely be very angry a lot of the time. Making more rage for themselves, or maybe angering those around them, as well as creating and enforcing Chaos, Disorder and Anarchy. Sounds like a total riot to be around, really!
Okay so, Serving Rage to others, or Serving through Rage seems like their schtick may be related to going berserker or allowing others to go berserker. They may also just make other people mad constantly. Alternatively, they may Serve Disorder and Chaos, becoming a Wildcard, an unpredictable Agent trying to advance some dubious plot. Or they may Serve Anarchy and try to disestablish the system.
Sorry to bother, I know you are getting swarmed with these kinds of questions. I'm interested in the kind of powers/roles a rogue of hope and a knight of blood would have. Karkat never ascended so I'm curious. Apologies if you answered for these classpects already.
I am kinda getting swarmed with these am I not? @-@ I already explained the role of the Rogue of Hope before though! As for the Knight of Blood, even though Karkat doesn’t ascend, he still shows traits of his Classpect. Wanting to help his friends and Serving them, he’s at his best when he’s a support for the well being of the unity of the group rather than a Combat Leader. Power-wise though I’ve always liked the idea of Karkat literally weaponizing his own Blood and making like, Blood Weapons or casting Blood Majyyks.
Can I maybe they the role/powers and/or personality of a Heir of Life? Thank you anyways ^^
A Heir of Life sounds like an interesting one, and in a way it relates a bit to Jane given Condy tried to make her a Heiress quite a bunch. Changing other’s lives, and changing their Agency, we can actually see her changing Jake’s Agency and trying to keep him as a source of Life when she goes Crockertier. You could also see it as literally changing someone’s life, for better or worse, they may hold some pretty intense control over their players’ lives. Whatever Change they may go through in their journey, though, Life is broad enough that it could be literally anything.
As I mentioned a few days ago, given WhatPumpkin published the Aspect test last week, I had thought of making a Class test to go along with it! This one is 40 Questions long and will determine which one of the 14 Classes you’re more aligned towards! At the ending, you will be also able to see which other Classes you scored high on.
If you want to check the Classes and their descriptions individually, check these:
I can’t believe this made it to the front page as one of the most relevant Link-type Posts right now. Granted Link Posts may be one of the less used ones, but wow.
I think I’m a rogue of breath but I’m not 100% sure. what’s your take on it?
So you’re Rufioh? Nice. :3c Think of the Summoner. Trying to take Leadership from the Highbloods and give it to the Lowbloods, freeing everyone. Charismatic as a leader and according to Rufioh in the session, quite popular romantically. But a bit detached and using Troll Anime to kind of shy away from things because he just looks confident and actually isn’t… Okay that’s very specifically Rufioh but, you get the general gist of it!
Powers though, aside from an obvious kissing metaphor, taking someone’s breath my literally allow a Rogue of Breath to suffocate people remotely, perhaps use currents of wind to favor their team’s movements while hindering the enemy? Hmm…
A Witch of Blood would most definitely have Blood Magic alright. I know I say this of nearly every Blood Player, but manipulating and changing blood, if you think of John’s control over Breath and Jade’s over Space, it really makes me think of Waterbending with Blood. Additionally, manipulating friendships and people on their team for a purpose seems like something they’d be good at.
How would a Sylph of space be like? Since un the quize i got Sylph and in another quiz my god tire was space
Fussy space alien vampire! Congrats on being Kanaya. We see a few instances of her powers actually, specially Healing the Space Eridan opened on her abdomen, as well as her Rainbowdrinker Fastness, being able to move through Space easier. I always liked the idea of her closet being an infinite Hammerspace of clothes she made, but Sylladexes really make this redundant. Sylladexes? Sylladices? Sylladex.
I know this is Jake's classpect but your explanations are so EASY to understand I love them!! So, what kind of powers and what role would a Page of Hope do/fulfill?
Jake served himself hope quite a lot- Believing what his friends told him to not have to face drama. Having Jane and Dirk court him was too much for him and so instead he believed Jane’s awkward little ‘no I don’t like you THAT way!’ and enforced it to the point it made Jane pretty much a go-to to ramble about his relationship issues- Making her serve him in that sense.
Similarly, when he makes Brain Ghost Dirk real, he’s serving his friends in the battle through Hope, believing enough in something to make it real and an asset for the fight, while also serving himself a little fantasy of Dirk being his protector, his Knight, and calling him his Boyfriend.
And the Hope Field, well. That’s Jake at his best, most relevant and most powerful, channelling the powerful forces of Hope to nullify any incoming attacks and blast Jade away. Shame it didn’t last too long.
So what would a Mage of Doom be able to do? What kind of challenges might they face and maybe a bit about their personality//habits if it's not too much to ask... Thanks! <3
Congrats on being Sollux! He seems to struggle with Doom quite a bit- He knows about the voices of the imminently deceased, and about their own fate to be doomed, and he can do little about it which make him get quite grumpy. Still he tries hard, to save Feferi pre-entry, to get shit done in the Session. Manipulating the Meteors of the Reckoning with Aradia to blast the Black King could also be seen as quite the Mage of Doom-y thing. A guide to avoid the Doom you’re facing, but also struggling because they’re constantly thinking about it.
Can you explain the Knight of Light a bit? (haha (k)night light)
Okay I know it’s a joke but, being someone’s night light is definitely something a Knight of Light would do, like. Someone’s afraid of the darkness, serve them Light. They may also offer their fortune to help others or make them luckier and more relevant, or…
Actually, serving Fortune to others and serving others through Relevancy makes me think the Knight of Light would be rich and influential, and use this influence of theirs to aid everyone they can. Cute. Also, serving knowledge to others… Rich, smart asses… Sounds like your average wealthy superhero.
I don't know if your ask box is open but if you haven't already could you explain how an Heir of Rage would work/what they would be able to do?
Sorry if I’m not at my best right now, had a long day. A Heir of Rage though, someone who Changes Rage, they may be able to make others angry or pacify them. As well, with the connotations with a change on society, anarchy and chaos we got not too long ago, they may change someone’s anarchic tendencies or influence them.
Serving others Leadership could be helping them become leaders, but helping them through Leadership could also imply they’re the leaders helping others through their position. They could also Serve through Wind, making the Breeze their means to carry something to someone like the tubes in John’s Land, or maybe because they smooch everyone.
If its not too much trouble, could you explain the Mage of Space? Thank you very much in advance!
I could see them having uncanny spacial awareness and perception of their surroundings. Able to know their surroundings and perhaps Seeing other locations much like what I commented for the Seer of Space. Being active though this may get a little voyeuristic.
I have come to a personal conclusion that john gained his retcon powers from interacting with the house juju and has nothing to do with his classpect.
I mean, no, John definitely gained his Retcon Powers through touching the House Juju and that’s very explicit. However, I’m just saying that ‘detachment from the story’ and ‘freedom from the alpha timeline’, and ‘inflicting change on the plot’ are very Heir of Breath-coded things. The question isn’t whether he got his Retcon Powers from the House Juju, it’s if the House Juju gave him new powers, or if it just supercharged his Heir of Breath powers, much like how the Sucker supercharged Jane with Life.
could an active-classed light player manipulate light itself? like, make hard-light constructs like symmetra, or green lantern?
Oh definitely! I could specially see Witches, Maids and maybe Knights/Pages do this kind of thing with Light, but really I’d imagine most Light Players could have the ability to do this too.
a seer of time could totally do like, a rewind thing, where they go back in time to see certain events that happened in their general area, but they couldn't interact with anything, all they could do is see and listen, kinda like that harry potter thing - or maybe when they look at an item or person, they could see what it looked like in the past? i'm sure seers of time could look into the future too, but that'd be completely overpowered, so i'm sure SBURB balances it somehow
I mean Time Travel is a thing all Time Players seem to be able to do, so looking into the Future is not overpowered since, they could travel to said future at any point and come back with the information. But I do love the idea of rewinding time in their mind to see how things were around them, maybe even like, seeming to freeze time at a point in the past and carefully examining the area, I kinda love that a lot.
could a malicious mind player be able to cause others to hallucinate, or make them go insane with fear and paranoia? what about a malicious heart player? slowly make everyone turn on each other?
Oooh yes, a Mind Player would totally be able to cast hallucinations, maybe a Witch or Heir, inducing a Change in their Minds? Maybe Rage could fit the bill for this too but I’m not sure. Heart has to do more with the inner character, one’s Soul, true being, so maybe Mind as well or even a Blood player would be better to turn everyone against each other.
I just took your Class quiz! And I am shook... I got Prince, which always has such a negative connotation thanks to *those two*, and through the Aspect quiz I got Mind, so, if you please, what would the powers/personality of a Prince of Mind be like? (I can see why those were my results but I don't quite yet wanna believe it, y'know?)
The ego is a powerful thing and Princes tend to struggle with that- Like royalty, nobility, they have the power to do great things, but also are tugged, on one side, by immense responsibility, and on the other, by the draw of their ego. Dirk voices this struggle and is definitely the best of the Princes, but even then he tries acting like a Knight a lot of the time.
A Prince of Mind may be at risk of choosing for their friends. Thinking their choice is the best for them, they impose themselves and remove the others’ choices. They may shatter other’s facades to reach their true self and intentions, or at the same time, ruin their image because of something they’ve done. Conversely, a good Prince of Mind that manages to overcome their bad side, may just…
Blow your Mind ;3
Jokes aside, breaking Minds, destroying thoughts and plans and theories, all seem to fall under the domain of a Prince of Mind, as well as Destroying Through Mind, perhaps perfect strategists and good planners?
Either way, if you don’t like the Class my test assigned, that’s fair! What was the closest class behind Prince? And as I’ve said a ton of times, you can just read about each Class individually and see which one fits you the most without taking a dumb, reductive test. No one knows you better than yourself. Except maybe your Moirail/s or Matesprit/s
"the Sucker supercharged Jane with Life." Could you explain this a little more? How does the whole Trickster thing relate to Life? And, uh... since I never really understood the point of that whole part of the comic, could you maybe explain its relevance? Like what point it had to drive the story forward other than just depositing them all on their sacrificial slabs? Thanks :D
When Jane laps the Juju, she gets super Life charged- The very act of jumping up makes over half of her planet blossom. She gains an insane amount of Agency, with power that borders on the cheating and no filter at all, she spews everything and anything she wants without thinking how others may feel about it. And the whole Having Babies thing, too, is very much Life Coded.
At that point, Jane was super sad and very much down, all she wanted was an escape from grim reality, she just wanted everyone to get together, be sincere about their feelings, not bottle things up and be just. Fine. And a lot of people also consider that time one of the weakest for Homestuck because of the whole ‘teen drama’ thing that apparently turned people off?
The Trickster Arc is a reminder that things ‘just magically getting better’ is not just not a thing that should happen in canon. Both Cherubs love their Juju, and the Trickster schtick, but they love it for different reasons. Calliope is the Fangirl, she wants the characters to be happy and I bet writes no-one-dies scenarios, which work for a fanfiction, as a cathartic way to express your love for characters, but not necessarily for a a story. And Caliborn is the Bad Fan, who just wants to get to the ‘good part’ and doesn’t care about the nuances of actually developed characters, he just wants to skip the boring things and go right to what’s interesting. And so, through the Trickster Arc Hussie shows us both how unsettling ‘everyone is happy all of sudden’ scenarios actually reflect into the canon, and pokes a jab at the people who just want shit to get done immediately with no build up, while also making shit happen and using it as a plot device to get everyone where they need to be.
The issue with the Juju here is, we don’t know if the whole Life Hypercharged Trickster thing happened because Jane licked it, or if the Sucker Juju in general just gives Agency and Life. Whichever the case, on the specific example we saw, Jane got Lifey, and the consequences rippled through the entire Session and the Webcomic. Being Trickster is a power trip, not unlike taking drugs- Filter is off, everything seems wonderful and beautiful, but it can actually get really creepy really fast if it’s not controlled.
And then Callie brings the Juju to the Rosemary Wedding and gets half of the cast high off of it in a thankfully more controlled environment.
do you do theory stuff? what kind of insane power do you think lime bloods had for them to be considered "a threat to authority"? what could they do that made them so dangerous as to be exterminated?
A lot of people Headcanon they could pacify Highbloods, which doesn’t sound to me like it’d threaten them enough to erase their very existence. On top of that, I know Kankri is excessive with everything, but he does mention the name ‘Lime’ to be offensive because of the historical connotations, which could be seen as him talking about Alternian connotations, but also somewhat imply that on Beforus they were also oppressed? Which, given the nature of Beforus, would debunk the pacifying theory. Which is not to say they /aren’t/ good pacifiers, just that I personally believe there’s something more to it.
And that something ‘more’ I believe has to do with First Guardians, or specifically one First Guardian, the Axolotl shown early in concept art for Hiveswap, which ties it to Fiamet, the only Limeblood we know of so far (And who is likely sextuple-pigtail silhouette from the Troll Call). It’s early to say exactly what their connection is and what the deal with Limebloods as a whole is, but it’s likely we’ll get answers soon in Hiveswap itself.
Given we see John, a Heir, Change into Wind, I’d highly imagine someone who is Made of Breath could poof in a similar manner to how John does it. Making and Improving Leadership, I see them more as leaders themselves than the Sylph of Breath for sure. Making air currents and clearing pollution as I mentioned for the Sylph as well, preventing their own suffocation in any conditions, and carrying the Plot, the story. You know. Making it happen. 8^y
Knight of Time? Dave was literally the Server player of both Rose and Jade, and spent a good deal of time aiding the two while John was going around doing his own thing and losing his computers every three god damn panels. He used his Time Travel to serve his Friends, specifically serving Terezi the money he earned through destroying LOHAC’s economy. He helped Jade with the Frog Breeding, protected her ‘til his last breath, tried to take Rose’s place in the Moon Suicide Ride, and ended up just spending time with her before the bang- Before DD had to ruin it all and made him have to chase after the moon so the two of them ended up on it.
In a way, even his curiosity to check on Rose’s journals ended up ‘serving Time’, closing a Time Loop he wasn’t even trying to close by keeping a spare copy of the journals Rose would’ve had destroyed otherwise, and thus allowing the creation of Becquerel. In a way, even as a Sprite, he ends up ‘Serving’ as the guide of another Time Player.
Of course then we have the obvious use and weaponization of Time through Time Clones during combat and time shenanigans, not to say Caledscratch’s function to switch between a broken and full sword actually fit the ‘weaponizing’ of ‘Time’ itself quite well too.
What is your opinion on what a Bard of Time would be like? Would they be too destructive to do much?
I mean Bards don’t necessarily to be destructive, like Princes. They can be, but their passion towards something can be constructive and their destruction of their Aspect, beneficial to those they follow. It depends heavily on the Bard.
What do you think Doom-bound players could manipulate? Like how Breath players have wind.
Aah, that’s a thing I discussed previously and I don’t even really know. You could have some black or purplish miasma of death like thing, maybe manipulating lightning. Those seem pretty Doom-y. Psiionics also seem somewhat Doom-coded so maybe? There’s a bunch of ways this could go.
I'm working on this character for a fansession, he's heavily inspired by protagonists of science fiction and cosmic horror, a very SCIENCE! guy. I know I want him to be a Prince, but although light is the aspect of information, scientific pursuits tend to be Void-coded, with their physical nature and all, so I'm in doubt between a Prince of Light or a Prince of Void. What do you think would be best? :) Ps: Really liked your class test. A better one from what we had was sorely needed.
Thank you! Also while the Physical Reality is Voidy because of the Gnostic Connotations, if you really want to go for a Sciency guy, consider Space as well! Now THAT is the full physical reality.
Otherwise though? Maybe a Prince of Void, since they’d be Destroying the lack of information, the obscurity and confusion there is before casting a scientific theory.
what do you think would be some superpowers related to each aspect and/or class?
Yeah I assumed the Majyyk question was something like this but, I don’t know? They’re all broad enough that it could heavily differ from one to the other. It may also depend on the Class. Sooo I can’t quite answer this one specifically.
could players combine their classpect powers to do something they couldn't do by themselves? like, a time and space player could use their power together and create bubbles of time that could be controlled freely?
That’s literally what Fraymotifs are. I’m sure they can also use their powers in combination to do cool stuff outside of them, but like. That’s the textbook definition of a Fraymotif.
god i'm the anon who asked about time/space combos i didn't even know fraymotifs were a thing i haven't read the comic since it stopped at that like baker feferi or whatever smh
I mean, I’m assuming ‘Baker Feferi’ refers to either Meenah or Condy? Either way, the first mention of Fraymotifs I can remember was Aradia talking about the fight vs the Black King at the end of Act 5 Act 1, and then were teased in a shop during the John: Enter Village or Approach Village or whatever flash, where you could see the names and prices for some of them. Then ONE single Fraymotif was used before the End of Act 5, and they spent the entiiirety of Act 6 not even being mentioned until the end. So they’re not the most popular of game mechanics either way.
What would happen to a thief of time if they went grimdark or had a connection to the horrorterrors?
King Crimson: Requiem.
Okay jokes aside, I’m not quite sure? Maybe they’d acquire the Void Aspect and become more like a Thief of Void, draining more and more dark Majyyks from the Horrorterrors to get more powerful, maybe even breaking from their control or getting corrupted even deeper.
Changing the Soul sounds to me like a body-switching thing! However I see the ‘switching bodies with someone else’ more of a Witch thing, maybe the Heir would be able to switch two persons or switch the Souls of everyone in the vicinity at random instead? Also Changing Feelings and Romantic ties, they may try to get people together and ship them around!
