The Knight

The Knight is often considered an Active Class, and the counterpart to the Passive Page, and this makes sense- Knights seem more forward and to use their Aspects as a weapon more directly, while Pages are presented as a Weak Class that takes a long time to reach their Full Potential. However, this assumption of Active and Passive doesn’t quite match the canonical example of some other Classes, and as such, this is under the assumption that Active Classes benefit themselves primarily, while Passive Classes benefit others. As such, the Knights present themselves, visibly, as a Class meant to Serve others, to come in their aid and protect them, even to the point of hiding their flaws and pushing themselves to seem more dependable.

The Page

Similarly, the Page is usually seen as a Passive Class, however the canonical example has shown of almost oblivious or innocent individuals who’re often helped by others- A Class that benefits from having others Serve them, help build them up, and once they achieve their full potential, use their immense stockpile of power to Serve their enemies an unexpected defeat.

The Aspects

The Knight of Time would be that who Serves Time to Others. Also as one to Serve through Time- Using Time Loops to give a short Session enough time to be fruitful or going back in Time to aid those around them, as we see in the comic. They’re also ones to spend their Time serving others, and those who Fight for the cause they deem just, and will use Time in whatever way is needed to reach their goal.

The Page of Time on the other hand, would be one to Serve Themselves Time. Someone who makes others stick up for them when they can’t, and that are offered other people’s Time to make up for their own lack, someone who Serves Themselves Time and waits, for things to get better or for things to happen in due Time. And when the Time is right, they may rise and exert a powerful control over Time itself. Serving others Time could also be parsed as ageing enemies through attacks.

The Knight of Space would be one to Serve Space to Others. Teleporting is a given, or a Portal ability of some kind, through which they can easily warp anywhere they may be needed to Serve, like a sort of Omnipresent being. Using Space to Serve others is a powerful skill, able to make use of everything Physical, of Dimensions, everything from growing bigger to using practically everything effectively as a weapon. And in turn, Serving their Space to others may parse as giving their place to others, switching positions whenever needed, as well as Serving Space between them, isolating themselves for other people’s good.

The Page of Space however, would be that who’s Served Space. With its connotations of isolationism, someone being Served Space by others can be parsed as being left alone, and isolating themselves to not have to deal with problems sounds interesting. Being Served through Space, could also parse as being remotely aided by others, or perhaps even being served because of their Size- Whether it’s someone Big that makes others consider them to have stronger potential than they have, or so Small they make others want to protect them. And in due time, even alone, they will show the world the power of the Universe, their mastery of everything physical around them, and perhaps, even of their own physical form.

The Knight of Heart would be the one to Serve Heart to Others, and Serve through Heart. This could have several interesting connotations. Serving Heart immediately sounds as someone showing their romantic feelings to everyone, trying to Serve their romantic partners in any way they can. But at the same time, they could be seen as someone who Serves Romance itself- Helping others get together, as a third wheel ensuring people get together. It may also be their Soul that protects them, or a facet of their Self, either Projecting it or literally keeping on protecting those around them after Death, or serving the Spirits of those they care about after they pass, following their will and legacy.

The Page of Heart, conversely, would be one to be Served Heart. Living up to someone’s legacy, or having someone’s Self pushed onto them for some reason, they may hide their true Self in trying to live up to these set expectations, pushing aside who they are in trying to comply with those pushing them. But when they make this legacy Theirs, and when they stand up, not as what they’re expected to be, but who they Are, they will exceed everyone’s expectations. They could also, potentially, be literally Served Souls- Having someone’s Self or someone’s Soul literally trapped within them.

The Knight of Mind would be that to Serve Mind to Others. Giving their thoughts to those around them, planning and strategizing for them they can be a good tactical asset. Serving Choices, they may try to give others a way out, an option they’re not considering that would be more favorable. And yet, in Serving through Mind, they would be prone to putting on facades and keep their inner self from coming out, showing others only what they’d want to see, or what would be most beneficial for others, bottling everything up within to more effectively Help.

The Page of Mind on the other hand, would be one to be Served Mind. Perhaps to an overwhelming degree, they may be pushed to make difficult choices, and in turn, to try and avoid confrontation and conflict by pretending to be a way they really are not. A Page of Mind may not be allowed to think and speak up for themselves by those around them, perhaps coddled, until they show their true worth. Until they break through and start making decisions for themselves, until they prove themselves a capable thinker and show unconsidered, ignored means may just be the key to success.

The Knight of Hope would be one to Serve Hope to Others, and Serve them through Hope. They believe in their friends, and as long as their friends believe in them, they will do the impossible to protect them. Whether it’s literally weaponizing the power of Hope, or simply being empowered by the knowledge that not all Hope is lost, and in turn, showing those around them that there’s always a way out if they just believe in it hard enough, perhaps to the point of denying to be realistic and see when a situation is truly Hopeless. Conversely, with Hope’s connection to sexuality, it’s likely the Knight of Hope would be always available to anyone who asks.

The Page of Hope would be the one to be Served Hope. Believing what other’s say, making believe in an attempt to escape difficult situations, they may be at risk of ignoring what’s beneath surface level and come off as oblivious, not to say, also prone to being sexualized by those around them. Either by the beliefs imposed on them, or what they choose to believe to escape from reality, they’re held back. But once they push past it, once they overcome their insecurities, it’s this belief on those around them that power them, that push them past their limits, and in doing so, truly show everyone the true power of Hope.

The Knight of Rage is that who Serves Rage to Others, or Serves through Rage. They may be able to make those around angry, but never without a motive- To push their common goals forward, to make them fight against and injustice. And in the same way, they themselves may be prone to being angered, and using said wrath to take down those harming their allies. In the same way, however, they may be prone to trying out means that shouldn’t work, but somehow do, or appear in apparently nonsensical ways or places to help those who need their help- Somehow overcoming obstacles that should be, by all means, impossible, leaving confusion in their wake.

The Page of Rage would be one to be Served Rage, or through Rage. Keeping themselves confused and unaware of the full extent of the situation they’re in, their attitude may be infuriating to those around them- And yet, their demeanor also makes it hard to keep hating them for too long. While possibly confusing or infuriating, it’s where this Rage is aimed that counts, and when they’re hurt or when they’re in a bad position, the anger easily bounces off of them, and towards that which is mistreating them. But when built up beyond this attitude, when helped be happier, they too may harbor hatred towards that which oppressed them, and usher their foes into utter chaos.

The Knight of Light would be one who Serves Light to Others. And one who Serves through the Light. Whether it may be Information or Fortune, the Knight may put effort into trying to keep everyone well informed and prepared for anything to come, and make their intentions clear. They may also be prone to helping others shine through, improve and become the centerpieces of the Session, whether it may be providing them with the insight they need, or training them to better themselves. And in the same way, so may they wield Light to their advantage, and serve those who need protection with it.

The Page of Light would be more akin to the one who is Served Light. Those helping them may be like instructors or teachers, sharing information with them, but they may as well share their fortune with them, try to make them into a more relevant person. They may hide in their studies or use their relevancy to escape accountability and action, but once pushed past this, once the student becomes the teacher, they may dazzle those who oppose them, and know exactly what needs to be known to truly be important and end up victorious.

The Knight of Void would be that who Serves Void to Others. This may sound paradoxical to the nature of the Knight, one who gives nothing to those they care about- And while it could be seen that way, there’s many other interpretations. One who Serves others through Nothing, one who Serves Secrets, they may be orchestrators, acting from the shadows and helping without ever being noticed, lying to ease those around them while they take care of threats. And in they same way, they may Serve Nothingness to their Enemies, erasing them completely to protect those they care about. They may also Serve the Void, comply with the Will of the Horrorterrors and act on their behalf.

The Page of Void would be one who’s Served Void. And in the same way the Knight of Void seems to go against the stereotype of the Knight, so does the Page of Void have the same issue, as someone who’s Served by Nothing. Shrouded in irrelevance, using their Lack to escape from the harsh reality, perhaps even as someone who simply, completely lacks any potential. And yet that’s never true is it? A hidden, secret power lies within, an unexpected Strength that may rise from the depth of irrelevancy when the time is right, when no one put their faith in them, to consume their enemies in Nothingness. Conversely, they may be Served by the Horrorterrors, raised to either be One of Them, or a powerful Conduit or Emissary of sorts, perhaps a Host for a Horrorterror. Or even stranger yet- Served by… Horses? Which are Void-coded for some reason.

The Knight of Breath would be one to Serve Breath to Others. Allowing others to have the Freedom they need, allowing them to move freely, and perhaps, even to detach themselves from other issues and focus on their personal goals. They’re facilitators, doing what needs to be done, and either inspiring others to do the same, or doing it so that they don’t need to do anything, either Serving a Leader, or Serving as the Leader. And in the same way, they may Wield the Wind to protect those that need their help, and Serve those struggling a Breath of Fresh Air.

The Page of Breath would, instead, be the one Served Breath. Being forced to move or be put on the move, making them chase after their goals and the plot, trying to put them into a position of Leadership, and in doing so, likely pushing them away little by little. They may escape into disinterest and apathy, simply doing their own thing to escape their responsibilities. But if they overcome the obstacles, they may rise as a figure worthy of admiration, worthy of following, by their own grit and determination, by their easy-going nature and constant forward motion. But even with a following, they cannot be shackled, for they are Free like the Wind.

The Knight of Blood is the one who Serves Blood to Others. A true Comrade, and a true Leader, they seek Union of their group and will do anything to mend friendships together and stop their team from falling apart. Looking out for others, and genuinely caring for them, Serving through the bonds they have formed, and Serving towards a common cause. They never fight alone, for their most powerful weapon is those they rely on, and those who rely on them. And just the same, they may Serve through Blood, bearing their Wounds proudly, and using literal Blood as a weapon, or wounding those who oppose them.

The Page of Blood would be the one who is Served Blood. They are prone to making friends, and attract others to follow them, and in doing so, they may shield themselves through the connections they have made with others. Which is not to say they’re manipulating and using their friends- For a Page of Blood who rises into his role may be the truest friend one can make- And no matter how wounded or bruised they may be, their blood boils with power.

The Knight of Life would be the one who Serves Life to Others. This immediately evokes a Healer, as many others with the Life Aspect do, but it doesn’t stop there. Serving Agency to give others the drive and means to do things for themselves, and Serving through Life, communing with animal or plant life to protect that they hold dear. And so, they will put their Life on the line and Serve their Life to others if it’s needed. They may also be a literal waiter or waitress, Serving Food to those who need it.

The Page of Life would be the one who is Served Life. They may be coddled from a rich family, using their leverage to protect themselves, or they may be sickly and frail, making others want to take care of them, while they avoid having to act. But once it’s their turn to rise, even Nature itself may bend to their will, and there’s little that won’t be in their reach, if they just try hard enough.

The Knight of Doom may be one who Serves Doom to Others. It doesn’t seem too helpful, but consider, they may be Serving their enemies Doom, or Serving them a defeat through Doom. Decay, limits, their end. In the same way, however, they may act as a voice of reason, setting limits for their friends, and showing them it’s okay to give up on some causes, before they hurt themselves. They may be willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the team. They may also Serve through Technology, which could make them technopaths or simply good with that sort of stuff.

The Page of Doom is the one who is Served Doom. It doesn’t sound like a pleasant time, suffering losses and being told what you can’t do, shoved into inaction because of your own limitations. But it’s those who push through their limits that prove their worth, and even if they hurt themselves and fall in the process, every sacrifice they make makes them stronger, and in the end, they may just be the ones to deliver a crushing defeat to everything that stands in their way.
