Mythological Surplus, A (Fan)-Classpects Thread.

=st:ll haven't came up w:þ half ðe classes, nor procured art for what : do have, but here's an alternate set of classes and aspects :m work:ng on for ðe fun of ðe game

I've been working on a team of six for a "fan session"-type fic. I wanted very specifically to use classpect combos that don't duplicate ones seen in canon. (Plus, I had a few other arbritrary restrictions for spoilerific reasons...) The classpects I coame up with don't always feel like perfect matches for the characters, but I'm hoping they'll grow into them as the story developes.

Urdra: Thief of Rage. Seems dozy and harmless, even to herself, but has a knack for inventive ultraviolence when directly threatened. She'd rather be a Life or Space player, given her love of science.

Jovall: Rogue of Mind. A genial and helpful fellow who loves nothing so much as a nice battle of wits.

Verthandi: Witch of Blood. She will organise you, and you will like it. Charismatic, brisk, very religious.

Skulder: Knight of Void. A professional paranoid who works through secrecy and deceit, she is also idealistic and highly public-spirited.

Neppetto: Mage of Hope. He's a bit of a bull in a chinashop. Can be both abrasive and shy, but he's also higly skilled, with a can-do attitude that's usually justified.

Mariss: Bard of Doom. A career criminal with a knack for acting innocent, his buried frustrations sometimes break through his professional cool in impulsive acts that have drastic consequences.

Yes, they're going to have to steal some Time and Space players from somewhere.... (It's on AO3 under the title "Team Madrigog," if this is remotely interesting!)

I've been working on a genuine take on the Piss aspect for a little while. I haven't gotten too far but I have some tidbits like the concepts it encompasses, those being: Necessity/Waste, Relief/Fear, Wealth/Worthlessness, and Passion/Spite. As far as I've got, heroes of the Piss aspect are prone to intense bouts of emotion, positive or negative. These bouts usually end with the player burning until there is nothing left to burn, when which they fall back down to ash, and a state of neutrality. Trying to avoid stepping on the toes of rage even when the most common uses of the word aside from the most literal are in "pissed off" and "taking the piss" is a bit difficult, but the aspects overlap each other all the time anyway.

I've also got a god tier for the Thief of Piss, adorned by my unrelated fanspecies kid, image attached.

lol, just realized that maybe i should've done my introductory post separate from my sinspect one. now everybody has to see my drawings up top, even after multiple pages are made in this thread, if that ever happens in the future. yearning spoiler boxes like a mf... either way. these are good!

@luminescentmothgirl it's nice to see that we both went for Spite as an aspect name lol. very intrigued on a lot of these you went for.

@tavroscrocker those are very nice. the "having to steal a time and player from somewhere else" part is very interesting, too! seems like a bunch of fun characters to work with.

@cambyon love that interpretation. the "faux" aspects from back then, like piss and lips and tears, they're always very nice to see redone by others like this. good drawing too!

Hey I would like to hear about your sin aspects. I'm not one for making fan classes and aspects myself, but I like these icons/colours and I am Intrigued

re:@libraryseraph ofc! i have actually not that much on them, and what i do is scattered, but i do hope i get to do something with them someday and have people like them... originally they were for a story of seven devils (like the problem sleuth one) playing sburb, kind of related to the ones in myyy first post abt the sin aspects here. but i haven't got much of the juice to actually write for that, so only the aspects remain. hope they're still good though..!

putting this in just for clarity's sake. going frommmmm. left to right, top to bottom..

Lust represents the total ideals of the mind. libido, passion, pleasure, fantasy, fire... basically anyone wielding this aspect goes by the force of "feels good sounds good", with how that's utilized depending from person to person. in example, had 2 characters with this power once. one used it to completely cloud a whole planet's civilization in their own desires so they all slowly died by their own volition, while the other just like, became plastic man.

Urge (or gluttony) represents hollowness. conquest for the sake of conquest, spirals, pestilence, famine, that type. most urge players receive extreme physical changes during their progression due to the aspect, quite literally losing everything off of themselves from its pull.

Greed is greed. its powers come from the hoarding of the materials and valuables, with its players being masters at amassing these riches and putting them to the "right" use. though outside of that their powers are represented to the typical gold like visuals, like the touch of midas and all that.

Pride and Spite (envy) are two sides of the same coin. pride being a belief in the self and only the self as its main draw of power (kind of like some very unhealthy hope player ish). in but never out. while spite is the belief in the other, but in the negative sense as can be assumed. spite also takes a lot of its powers from superstition, and imagery like nazars/evil eyes and the such. out but never in.

Wrath is not rage! but the representation of war, the battlefield in of itself, and calamity. primal vengeance, the horrors of battle, fear of the other, etc etc etc.. its powers being mostly represented by the flesh itself, either of ones own or the formation of it any means. also like. the literal game battlefield, like the chess one.

Sloth is not pictured there, and never wrote anything for, because i think that's fitting enough and because i was too lazy to do it. though it could be both the weakest one of the bunch and the strongest, since its powers can be beyond any sort of narrative sense. like the idea that Lord English is always sort of in the background because being In the scenes of the comic is concretization of his actions, so being out of the picture means he could be doing anything and everything and stuff, but more deliberate and less dumb sounding. and its own aspect, of course. it's the aspect of vagueness.
