What do you think a Mage of time would be up to doing? If you have the time to answer of course.
Oooh this one could be a cool one. They’d have instinctual knowledge about important events in the Timeline, perhaps where splits to Doomed Timelines happen and such, as well as knowing exactly when to go back and forth in Time to do anything, and an ease to close Time Loops.
However an interesting aspect of Mages is them not liking immutability. If their ideal doesn’t match what is supposed to happen, there will be distress. Sollux shows this heavily, with how opposed he is to him and everyone around him being Doomed, and not wanting to be unable to prevent it.
And Time of all things in Homestuck is very harsh and immutable. The Alpha beckons, and a Mage of Time may be extremely conflicted. They know how the Timeline is going to be shaped, they know when something is going to happen, but as it’s the nature of Time, Change doesn’t come easily.
