Like Hussie said, I feel the class active ness and passiveness isn’t as black and white for every class. Calliope does give that description for the Rogue and Thief, the Rogue being a Robin Hood figure and the Thief being, well, a selfish thief. However, she paints the Prince as one who destroys, while the Bard is one who welcomes, brings, and allows for said destruction to occur. It may be a set to set basis, instead of the selfish/selfless divide. We won’t know, though, without official info.

Also, about Gamzee’s Prospit sway, based on the extended Zodiac’s description of a Prospit Dreamer, it makes a lot of sense. For most of the story, he is very complacent. He rarely acts, but when he does it is very sudden, abrupt, as he is the embodiment of capricious. It isn’t until he sobers up and is sent the ICP video that he acts, because he’s reacting, still willing to just serve Caliborn/ Lord English without question.

There’s a lot to the Passive-Active Divide, because it takes upon the concept of the Yin-Yang, where the divide is of pretty much everything ever, and ever-shifting, so it’s hard to pin-point a solid metric to divide them by. And yeah, I mean a lot of what Gamzee does fits the Passive category, but the answer before was more tying in to what I perceived to be specifically calling out his rampage-y behavior, isolatedly.
