[classpecting-thoughts]

All heroes of Heart have some manner of splinters and/or masks. They all tend to have different ways that this shows up, though there is some overlap.

A Prince of Heart splinters outward, creating different versions of themselves on the outside. This tends to lead to different variations of themselves being everywhere, and can leave the Prince unsure of who their true self is, or if they even truly have one.

An Heir of Heart splinters inward. They gather different versions of themselves on the inside. Rather than being destructive and tearing down their sense of self that occurs with a Prince, this interior splintering helps build their personality, creating more of it. An Heir of Heart will compartmentalize every part of themselves, and gather labels they associate with themselves in an effort to be able to share/explain these compartmentalized parts of themselves with others.

A Thief of Heart does something similar to the Heir, splintering inward, but rather than being mostly internal, the different bits of their self that they gather come from others. A thief of heart will pick up quirks and habits from those they spend time with or respect at a much faster rate than most. They take these bits and pieces and craft their personality and sense of self out of them, making them their own in the process.

A Rogue of Heart splinters more similarly to the Prince. Rogues’ different splinters are external, but rather than the masks made up of their own personality shown to other people the Prince has, they are splinters they’ve gathered from others in a similar manner to a Thief. A Rogue will take bits and pieces from those around them and reflect them back, making them into both masks and mirrors.

Those are all the classes I currently have thoughts on, but I’d be happy to continue discussing it! Feel free to add your own thoughts if you’d like (even if it’s to say I’m wrong!).

Which is the cooler classpect?

[starkeaton]

DDLC classpecting post

Monika: Seer of Light (knows info/relevance/importance for others)

I'm sure on Monika, she's the kind, passive, friendly advice giver, and her relevance/info/importance fixation is obvious. She definitely inverts to Witch of Void a little bit, but only because she's in a dire situation. When you sit down and talk to her, she's very focused on helping others with her knowledge

Sayori: Rogue of Life (takes growth/joy/health for others)

Sayori... I mean, all you have to do is read the bottle poem, and you will get it, i think. She chills in the background and gives her friends joy when they need it. However, as is common for Rogues, she also struggles with feeling like she's not needed. And like all Rogues, she is a treasure

Natsuki: Thief of Heart (takes emotion/identity/passion for self)

Natsuki being herself seems like some sort of radical action for her. She's definitely a rule-breaker type, and it's not immediately obvious just how beaten down by the world she really is. Thief is the class of "I need to get my needs met before anything else," and Natsuki seems willing to cross boundaries to get her needs met in some ways, with her hidden passions and such. She cares a lot about not judging people for their desires and interests, which i think is Heartful.

Yuri: Witch of Doom (changes cost/restriction/pain for self)

Yuri is so fixated on pain, which rings Doombound to me. Witches are troublemakers, and Yuri does enjoy doing things a bit differently with her poetry, showing others the beauty in darker things. She also changes herself for her own benefit, wearing something of a mask, which is a Witch thing, and um... well, her personality gets very exaggerated, but the idea of having someone to show her true self underneath that mask to is very romantic to her.

Can I get a combo of a Thief of Heart and a Bard of Blood?

Additionally, only if you want to of course, how about a full team attack of a Mage of Void, Page of Time, Theif of Heart, Bard of Blood, Maid of Space, and Heir of Mind?

Wow, super interesting combo! I will do the team attack also, but that one's going in the queue solo. This, and several other Blood/Heart/Rage destroyer/thief/manipulator combos are what I affectionately call "Partybreakers", because much like a Classpect verbiage, they'll [break the party and break through the party]. Using your allies as weapons is just as viable for attacking the Target as using weapons on your allies is when Partybreakers are involved.

Transe de Troubledour

Thief of Heart [one steals and steals through emotion, essence, and the self] + Bard of Blood [one who allows the destruction of and invites destruction through bonds, connections, and sacrifice]

Transe (French for Trance; a half-conscious state characterized by an absence of response to external stimuli, typically as induced by hypnosis or entered by a medium) + Trouble (difficulty or problems) + Dour (relentlessly severe, stern, or gloomy in manner or appearance) + Troubadour (a composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages; troubadour songs deal mainly with themes of chivalry and courtly love. Most were metaphysical, intellectual, and formulaic. Many were humorous or vulgar satires)

The Thief begins by ripping out the Target's soul. Yup, we're going quick with this one. The Bard's powers weaken the bond between the Target's soul and their body, allowing the Thief to remove it smoothly. The Thief takes the Target's soul into themself, gaining some of the powers and vague self-y nonsense that is attached to the soul (whatever it is doesn't really matter because it's gone so soon). The Bard severs the ties between the Thief and the Target, ensuring that the Thief doesn't keep any of the memories, identity, or affiliations the Target once had, leaving the Thief with just the Target's essence (perhaps resulting in a temporary shift in Classpect or strife specibus, and definitely resulting in a stat boost). This severance will come at a cost to the Thief, but that won't matter for a hot sec. The Thief and Bard then go through and pummel the Target's allies (With Bonus Bard Boosts (TM) (Yes this will be a recurring bit (No I'm not apologizing (Yes this is getting out of hand (No I'm not apologizing (Yes, if you count the close-parentheses and ignore the smiles, it will line up (No I'm not apologizing :) ) :) ) :) ) :) ) :) ) :) ) :) ) by allowing the destruction of the late Target's connection to their very-much-but-not-for-long-alive allies). After the attack sequence, the Bard's abilities will have deteriorated the bonding of the Target's soul to the Thief, and the Thief's hold on it will have weakened to the point where the soul is returned to the Target, with all of the damage and fatigue the Thief sustained hitting them all at once, ending the Fraymotif.

Now, that assumes the Target isn't resistant to the soul-stealing, and it works first try. Some enemies are too powerful for that, so in those cases, it might go down something like this:

The Thief would attempt to steal the Target's soul and fail to do so. The Bard would then try to use their abilities to weaken the bond between the Target's body and their soul to make the Thief's job easier, but there's no guarantee that would work. In such a case, the Thief would have to take little bits at a time. With one attack, they may take a bit of consciousness. With another, some feature that builds up the Target's Classpect (a Sylph's self-assuredness, a Mage's perseverance, an Heir's laid-back attitude, etc.). The Bard, during this, would be able to damage the Target's allies' loyalty to the Target via their powers of "letting things go to shit." As the Thief removes more and more Aspectual Heart from the Target, the more Mind is unhindered (very much like the more Light is stolen from a subject, the more Void is left; or the more Rage is stolen, the more Hope remains, etc.). So, the Target may grow more focused and rational as this continues, which would be a problem if not for the Target's allies being entirely fed up with all this bullshit. The Bard, totally strategically and intentionally, causes the Thief's grasp on the Target's qualities and emotions to fail, knocking the Target off-balance by the sudden return of all their passion and characterization. The Bard, seeing all this go down, may elect to abscond from the fight, leaving the Thief alone and unable to properly steal more of the Target's Heart. The Target, understandably, would be irrational enough to try and go for the hapless Thief, and equally understandably, would be irrational enough to not recognize that their allies have turned on them. The Bard, through attempting to sacrifice the Thief, has actually offered the Target as a sacrifice to their no-longer-teammates, and allows them to do the work of attacking each other while the Thief gets outta there and probably goes to slap the Bard (or kiss?? idk ur party dynamic so don't let me stop you from living your best life) or something like that.

Partybreakers are very silly and fun and not at all volatile or dysfunctional (nightmare nightmare nightmare /pos), fun for the whole party!!! :))))

RGU God Tiers, @lolliepops-rox kissie for helping me decide and for the descriptions

Nanami here

My reasoning below is below but im curious what ppl would choose instead for god tiers

-Thief of Heart: The one who takes or steals with feelings, and passion for their own advancement.

Utena did steal Anthy from the rest of the student council and eventually from Akio, but in a way that was mostly benefitting herself even if her motives were good.

-Muse of Time: The one who inspires and is controlled by fate, and decay for the advancement of others.

Anthy is a muse because shes the epicenter of the revolution. She is so used to the continued failed attempts from Akio but still inspires Utena to try still.

I wont be drawing it but Akio would just be a witch of blood compared to Anthy being a master class

Thief of Heart analysis + playlist.

The Thief of Heart [symbols: money bag, heart]

The Thief class is based on the classic thief trope. An example would be the pirate Blackbeard.

The Heart aspect’s main theme is instinct. You can find its official description here.

A Thief of Heart is among those who use the individual's impact. This is the “classpect group” they belong to. Members include: the Knight, Page, Thief, and Rogue of Mind/Heart. These classes are all opposites or inverses of each other that use the Mind/Heart dichotomy (the individual's impact). A description of classpect groupings can be found here.

The Thief of Heart actively steals the Heart aspect. Active classes tell themselves what to do and do so for their own benefit. They are more likely to stand up for themselves, but more likely to be cruel. Thieves and Rogues steal their aspect and everything it symbolizes to grant it to someone else. Simplified, the Thief of Heart is motivated by themselves to steal instinct.

In personality, the Thief of Heart enjoys feeling powerful and is invested in self discovery. Personality descriptions can be found here.

Their archetype is the Spy Free Spirit, defined by power and instinct. Archetypes are explained here.

Their opposite is the Rogue of Mind, who passively steals intuition.

Their inverse is the Page of Mind, who passively utilizes intuition.

A classpect or “god tier” is an individual’s best self. All classpects go through a journey from unrealized, to struggle, to realized. When a character is unrealized, they neutrally exist as their inverse. On their struggle, they will wildly flip back and forth between their inverse and true classpect. In their worst moments they will act as their inverse, in their best their true classpect. When realized, they will stabilize as their true classpect. They will still have room to grow, but will become happier, more successful people.

This means that the Thief of Heart begins life motivated by others to utilize intuition. When their struggle arrives and they are at their worst, they will continue this behavior in negative extremes. However, when at their best, they will find purpose in instead stealing instinct for themselves. When realized, they will stabilize and continue to steal the Heart aspect actively, in a positive way.

They share their archetype with the Rogue of Void, the Free Spirit Spy.

The Thief of Heart would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Valuables [Thief] and Heart [Aspect]. An example would be the Land of Castles and Arteries. An explanation of planet naming conventions can be found here.

Two possible gods, or denizens, to reign over their planet would be Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) or Yaldabaoth (Trapper of Souls). Other Heart aspect denizens can be found here.

When the Thief of Heart completes their planet quests and dies on their quest bed, they would rise to ascension on the wings of ladybugs (symbols of love). A list of soul animals can be found here.

The characters that I have currently classpected as Thieves of Heart are: Query from Batman, Marina from Ke$hastuck, Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time, Nessarose from Wicked, a Desire Demon from Dragon Age, Josie Packard from Twin Peaks, and Sydney Barrett from Legion.

[alchemized-strifespecibi]

Wow! Thanks for the prior weapons- they were amazing!!!! Your ideas are so amazing- forgive me for asking again so soon! <3

What do you think an endgame weapon for the Knifekind Thief of Heart would be? I would love it if it included themes of color, crystal, and soul stealing- although you're free to include themes from the last ask. Their denizen is Libitina, the roman goddess of funerals and renewal, if that helps anything.

Hm... I can envision it somewhat, but not quite know what it would take to alchemize it, aside from Hunting Cutlery - it would have a bone handle and a shimmering blade, hue changing in the light or depending on what the Thief has stolen through it. Perhaps some kind of crystal orb could be used? Maybe crossed with a lava lamp and a snowglobe too...

It would be more of a ritualistic object than a proper weapon, likely to play an important part in a sacrificial rite regarding the denizen, perhaps to husher in a new god.

I'm sorry for the vague answer, but I hope it's still good!
