ANOTHER COMBINED CLASSPECT ANALISIS!!!!!!

Annihilator of Growth

(prince + bard & breath + life) (classpects by @superxstarzz!)

(yooo my brother would be a bard of life)

A bard destroys their aspect or through their aspect for others.

A prince destroys their aspect or through their aspect for themselves,

the breath aspect is all about independence (in a different way then blood, which is more about groups of ppl than a singular person).

Life is about quite literally life and health, lmao.

Okay, so they are 100% a destruction class, which could make this a little easier for me. They'd probably be very helpful in a fight X3

They either they destroy life through breath, or destroy breath through life.

they'd be very difficult to keep track of, but can be very helpful if you can get them to work with others. They might have a bit of an ego (and self deprecating at the same time), and they would likely have a set moral compass, that might be a bit concerning seeing they destroy life and breath. They might think what they're doing is super helpful and good just because it's them who did it, but internally they will prolly be overly aware when they fuck up. They would prolly be an anarchist of some kind, or at least hate the rich; If they're a troll they might not like others higher on the hemospectrum.

before their team's session starts, the Annihilator of Growth will likely be someone most people agree sucks as a person. They will try to impose their ideas of good and bad onto others, which could be annoying when no one asks. During their session they would distance themselves, and be difficult to pinpoint exactly where they are or what they're doing. Annihilators are prolly a lot more likely to screw over their session than any one else.

they might not intend to destroy life or breath, but the destruction definitely is caused by them, which they are very aware of.

They might literally get rid of someone's ability to breath away, which obviously would kill them, or they could destroy someone's agency and freedom by destroying their life, making them sick or at least very weak, which makes it so others have to pick up the ill one's slack.

They're powers would consist of controlling wind, causing illnesses, floating, and maybe some kind of weird overcomplicated version of mind control(?)

they're strife specibus would consist of medium, to larger weapons that require a lot of precision, like swords, clubs, hammers, axes, and other things like that.

Hey, I recently learned that I'm a bard of life, what does it mean?

UU: let's start with life...

UU: it's a powerfUl aspect that always seems larger than the player. it is overwhelming and inescapable. think of it as a sort of 'life goes on no matter what', or how the barest drop of water can contain many life forms.

UU: when the story is over and done with, no matter youUr conditions, if yoU are not dead, life is there. the only thing to do is live.

UU: perhaps I am biased. none of my friends have particUlarly easy lives. jane seems the safest and even she is Under constant threat and pressUre from her grandmother. life overwhelms her even when there's death all aroUnd.

UU: jane is qUite the force herself, when she is not trying to please people. like life, she can be Unstoppable. however, being enmeshed in the aspect does not jUst mean liveliness, bUt reality and responsibility, and the moments of oUr lives that cannot be Understood by story jUst as well as the brief ones that can.

UU: that is where life and space come apart, i think. it is all story for me, bUt not so mUch for jane. i think life and void are qUite similar in that regard, thoUgh!

UU: that being said...

UU: a bard is the complete opposite. a destroyer of life for others.

UU: yoU woUld defy this boUndlessness, redUce it down to the narrative aspects, and like fathe---er, the bard of rage, you woUld act yoUr opposite.

UU: yoU woUld act more like sollUx or mitUna than yoU woUld feferi or jane.

UU: the bard is also characterized by Unpredictability.

UU: yoU might accidentally destroy life oUt of control withoUt meaning to.

UU: this might leave yoU depressed or overly prone to fatalism.

***

uu: FINE. MAYBE THE LIFE ASPECT. IS SORT OF COOL.

uu: WHEN YOu TALK ABOuT ENDLESS POWER. THAT IS INTERESTING. AND GOOD FOR MY ARMIES.

uu: ESPECIALLY WHEN YOu CONSIDER. THAT DESTROYER PLAYERS. ARE STILL PLAYERS OF THEIR ASPECTS IN THE END.

uu: DIRK IS ONE OF THE FEW IN HIS GROuP. THAT MIGHT BE CLASSED. AS AN ALPHA MALE. JAKE NEEDS WORK.

uu: HE IS NOT. A MIND PLAYER. HE NEVER WAS ONE. HE IS HEART. HE HAS THE STRuGGLES WITH THE EMOTIONS. AND WHATNOT.

uu: MY SISTER THINKS I AM TOO STuPID. TO FIGuRE THAT OuT. EVEN THOuGH EVERYONE. AND THEIR HuMAN MOTHER. CAN TELL.

uu: JuST LIKE YOu. WILL HAVE ALL THE POWER AND ENDLESS NATuRE. OF LIFE. YOu WILL DESTROY LIFE. AND DESTROY THROuGH THE BOuNDLESS POWER OF IT.

uu: WELCOME TO MY ARMY. WE WILL HAVE. CANDY. THAT IS. YOu WILL HAVE CANDY. AND YOu WILL HAND IT OVER.

the Bard of Life: one who passively destroys growth

sources: x, x, x, x, x, x

[ultra-clashpects]

THE BARD OF LIFE

The Bard of Life is someone who is closed off and reserved at first, they don’t have many friends or people close to them, but they prefer it this way so that they can relax in their own solitude. They might seem overly cautious or pessimistic, they strictly follow and enforce the rules, and they might come across as incredibly non-confrontational. This will change one day when the Bard might come across something that makes them want to break the rules and act out like they never had before.

The Bard of Life will have an inner awakening, and it’s at that point when their views on the world will change and they will become more inviting, more optimistic, more destructive. They invite the destruction of Life around them, they sacrifice and break the bonds and lives of those closest to them for their own gain, no matter how small or insignificant. Anything they can do to make sure that they can get ahead and win in life, they will make sure to do it.

The Bard of Life is a very Me First type of person, which is a stark contrast to many other Life players, but in the end, the Bard doesn’t really care about what sort of damage or chaos they might cause to other people in the end as long as they finish in first place.

[into-the-fraymotif]

Witch of Breath + Life Fraymotifs

Expiring Vivace

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Witch of Life [one who manipulates and manipulates through life, growth, and progression] (Feferi Peixes)

Expiring (from Ex, meaning outward, and spiration, or breathing. Also to reach the end of your lifespan.) + Vivace (meaning lively, louder, faster, brightly)

Okay this is the first of the lot and we're already getting silly. Generally, when two Heroes of the same Class work together, their abilities resonate off each other, compounding them into something more powerful than with an unrelated Classpect. The Witch of Life overloads the target with Life energy, causing them to become completely saturated with it; then the Witch of Breath would free the trapped life energy, which would drag the Target's life force with it as it rapidly escapes. Nothing like living to death, I suppose.

The rest under the cut

Progression Ostinato

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Sylph of Life [one who heals and heals through life, growth, and progression]

Progression (like growth and as in chord progression) + Ostinato (when a phrase or motif is persistently repeated)

Kinda boring for the name, but amazing for a healer build. The Witch detaches the Sylph's healing powers from them and allows it to move around the battle as a moving passive healing source, also granting their allies increased agility so that the Sylph is not defenseless or powerless.

Jewelweed Jamboree

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Knight of Life [one who protects and protects through life, growth, and progression]

Jewelweed (a type of flower that uses explosions for seed dispersal. Yes, this is a real thing) + Jamboree (a large celebration or party, typically a lavish and boisterous one)

The Knight will encase their allies in a perfect shield of vines and wood, which will then explode outward with a blast of air from the Witch, the shrapnel repaying any damage it sustained to the opponents in full.

Shucks Bluster

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Maid of Life [one who serves and serves through life, growth, and progression] (Jane Crocker)

Shucks(, Buster) + Bluster (relating to strong winds)

The Maid maintains the life force of their allies while the Witch summons a hurricane to consume the entire battlefield. Simple but effective.

Sforzando Tempest

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Page of Life [one who becomes and becomes fully realized through life, growth, and progression]

Sforzando (suddenly, full, all at once) + Tempest (an incredibly violent windstorm)

Pages are kind of limited due to them naturally having the slowest progression and growth. This is doubly so for the Page of Life who has yet to come into their own as a Hero of growth and progress. The Witch of Breath can only temporarily unlock the barrier keeping the Page down, but when they do, the Page would immediately and automatically use their Life powers to rapidly progress, growing in sheer power exponentially. With their command over Life unbound, the Witch acts as a beacon of freedom through which the Page can command Life and growth further than even a Sylph of Life or Maid of Life could. This requires great focus from the Witch due to how intrinsic that limiter is to the Page Class, and Sforzando Tempest does not last forever.

Now, if the Page was further along in development, then they would naturally progress faster than Pages of different Aspects, and the Witch would have to focus less to initiate this rapid onset character progression. Then, most of the Witch's abilities would instead of being used for removing the limits of the Page's Class, be put to removing the limits of the Page's Aspect. I honestly don't think anyone around the Page during Sforzando Tempest would be able to die. Just, they don't have the ability to die anymore, for a bit. Not to mention a huge stat boost across the board.

This is a different kind of potential reaching than Aranea with Jake “Tally Ho” English, as this is more of a "removing the game mechanic holding them back" instead of the "healing the personal block keeping you from fully realizing your potential" we see in the comic. That and this combo is a Fraymotif instead of a plain use of God-tier abilities, so this is on another level entirely on top of functionally being a special attack.

Epic of Bouzygai’s Movement

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Heir of Life [one who inherits and ascends through life, growth, and progression]

Epic (a long story, tale, and/or song) + Bouzygai (Character from Greek Myth credited with many agricultural inventions) + Movement (a self-contained musical form; like the song equivalent of a chapter)

The path of ascension is far smoother for an Heir than a Page, and doubly so for an Heir of Life. The Witch would free the Heir from their conditionally immortal form, causing the Heir to literally become their Aspect for a time, and the Aspect would act and function to the will of the Heir, who's motives naturally align with said will anyway. All healing, growth, desire, progress, and potential within the scope of the Fraymotif would be at the behest of the Heir for a time.

Holly Habanera

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Mage of Life [one who understands and understands through life, growth, and progression]

Holly (a berry plant with thorns on its leaves) + Habanera (a style of dance music popular in the 18th century)

The Mage summons sharp or thorny vines to grow across the whole battlefield, that the Witch detaches from the ground and cyclone around the enemies razor-leaf style. The Mage's magic powers cause them to continuously grow while air-borne, tangling the enemies in the damaging plantlife.

Sottea Leaf Voce

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Seer of Life [one who knows and knows through life, growth, and progression]

Tea Leaf (as in reading tea leaves as a form of divining the future) + Sotto Voce (With hushed voicing; in a hushed manner)

The Seer detects all life sources in the vicinity, then determines how the health of their allies will change in the imminent future. The Witch uses their abilities to detach the favored parties from the events that would lead up to that.

Spirattacca

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Thief of Life [one who steals and steals through life, growth, and progression] (Meenah Peixes)

Spir- (aspirate, to breathe; spirit, or life force) + Attacca (attached to)

The Witch allows the Thief's powers to flow through and permeate a crowd, setting in leeching seeds that will drain the afflicted targets of their life force. The Witch can then forcibly expel them from the target, turning the sprouts into projectiles similar to a frag grenade.

Piacavole Sigh

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Rogue of Life [one who redistributes and redistributes through life, growth, and progression]

Piacavole (pleasant, agreeable) + Sigh (sigh)

The Rogue guide the Witch's wind powers to draw out some of the Life of the target through the target's exhalation. The breath, carrying the Life energy of the target, is spread across the Witch's allies, invigorating them with a fraction of the target's vitality and powers

Respiro Finale

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Prince of Life [one who destroys and destroys through life, growth, and progression]

Respiro (Italian for Breath) + Finale (Ending, conclusion, final)

The Witch directs the Prince's life-destroying abilities to accelerate the death of the target through asphyxiation, while the Witch floods the target's lungs with air, but prevents any air from leaving.

Soprano Spores

Witch of Breath [one who manipulates and manipulates through freedom, detachment, and wind] + Bard of Life [one who allows the destruction of and invites destruction through life, growth, and progression]

Soprano (the highest voice in a chorus) + Spores (reproductive cells of plants, fungi, and some bacteria)

This one's honestly more brutal than Respiro Finale; The Witch directs the winds to carry the Bard's powers in the form of plant spores to the target, to which the Bard and Witch work together to unlock the upper bounds of the plant spore's limit of growth, causing the target to have plants and mushrooms and vines destroy their body from the inside, leaving an overgrown corpse.

[zerotheclasspector]

What would a bard of life be able to do?

Well, let’s find out! Classpect No 7:

Bard of Life

Bard: Passive destruction class. One who allows the destruction of their aspect or allows their aspect to destroy. Act as a wild card in the session.

Life: Represents life, creation, and control.

A Bard of Life has led a rough life. As Bards have their aspect destroyed within themselves, a Bard of Life lacks Life. This would cause them to act like a Doom player. This means that the Bard has been used for most of their life. Death and destruction are not unknown to the Bard of Life. Maybe they were orphaned at a young age, and left in the care of an abusive guardian? Whatever has happened, it has crushed their spirit.

This would all make them a bit of a downer around their friends. I mean, it’s understandable that the Bard of Hope wouldn’t be all happy and optimistic, but they take it a bit further. They feel pretty jealous of their friends that lived happier lives than them. They may guilt these friends into feeling bad about their lives by constantly comparing the positives of their friend’s lives to the abuse of their own life. They would constantly be trying to take down the Lives of others to feel better about their own life.

However, this could all change once the Bard of Life enters the Medium. After escaping their awful situation, they can start to take control of their life. They can become a most positive, happy person. They could (and should) also apologize to their friends for being a bully to them, and they can hopefully create better relationships. As they gain more and more of the Life aspect, the Bard of Life can use it to weaken the team’s foes, making Sburb/Sgrub easier.

…. Of course, as the Bard is a wild card, the journey of the Bard of Life could go far worse. The Bard might never find Life through Sburb/Sgrub, and they instead destroy it. They go from just guilt tripping their friends to outright insulting and mocking them. They ruin all of their already damaged friendships. And as the Bard destroys literal life itself, their teammates will become weaker and weaker, unable to finish the session.

The Bard’s powers would depend on which of these two routes they follow. If they are able to obtain Life, they would be able to use their own life energy to damage their foes. They could also allow the life force of their friends to be stronger, meaning they would be harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the Bard of Life stays trapped in Doom, they would develop a harming aura that deals damage indiscriminately. They would also weaken the health of those around them, making them more susceptible to illness and disease.

A hypothetical god tier for Bane from Batman: the Bard of Life.

A Bard of Life is among those who alter energy to influence. They are motivated by others to destroy growth. (x) The Bard of Life gets angry when things don’t go their way and keeps trying even if they fail. (x) They are the Revolutionary Child, defined by outrage and growth. (x) Their opposite is the Prince of Doom. Their inverse is the Maid of Doom. They share their personality with the Heir of Rage. The Bard of Life would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Doom and Life, reigned over by Hebe (Goddess of Youth) or Asclepius (God of Medicine). They would rise to ascension on the wings of butterflies. (x)(x)(x)

What would the fraymotif between a rogue of mind and a bard of life be?

as a fusion of a rogue of mind's ability to redistribute understanding, perspective, and decision-making, with a bard of life's capacity to invite or allow destruction through vitality, the resulting fraymotif, dubbed "cognition transference carnage," could manifest as a cerebral battlefield technique. it would effectively cause foes to experience an overflow of life energy tied to their own thought processes, turning their own cognitive power against them. this sudden surge of mental and vital energy would lead to an unsustainable state, resulting in foes essentially burning themselves out from the inside, their own thoughts and life force spiraling out of control.
