I think both parts of the class have to be one syllable. What about Mage of War or Sage of War?

Name - BASSE STEELE

Gender - A FEMALE for once

Appearance - A TWENTY YEAR OLD UNDERGRADUATE dressed in unimaginatively youthful clothing- a WHITE BLOUSE and PLAID SKIRT. Her hair is black, tied back into a PONYTAIL. Her eyes are PERPETUALLY BLOODSHOT from burning the MIDNIGHT OIL near daily, and BASSE looks TEN YEARS OLDER than she should due to the stress

Personality - A STRESSED and PRESSURED stereotypically overworked collage student under strict parental guidance. Naturally ANTISOCIAL tendencies are aggravated by their watchful eye. Oh god, the PROTECTIVE GUARDIANS. How she fears their presence. She's quite PARANOID as a result, and has a tendency to easily lose it and go into fits of HYSTERIA when things don't go her way. However, she's a GOOD SOUL and is genuinely driven to help others

Land - LAND OF STEAM AND OIL

Title - THIEF OF TIME

Consorts - Very aggravating TIGERS who are obsessed with Basse and follow her around constantly

Fetch Modus - PROCRASTINATIONKIND. The modus is set on a natural delay and will only spit out an item some time after the item is actually retrieved, much to Basse's infinite chagrin

Strife Specibus - BOWKIND. Taught ARCHERY as a young girl, compulsively, of course. It seems to have finally come in handy

Sprite/Prototypes - GRANNYSPRITE. First prototyped with Basse's PICTURE OF BELOVED GRANDMOTHER and then with a SLUG. A very relaxed and wise guardian to Basse who sharply contrasts with the modern girl's hectic lifestyle

Other Details - Types inaveryrushed mannerwithminimal spacingandno syntaxofany sort

Uh, for Thief of Time I envision two possibilities:

The ability to 'take' things from alternate timelines permanently. In short, the ability to defy the 'all things from other timelines are doomed' clause and keep whatever is taken from the future or past or whatever. For instance, if Basse did what Aradia did with her thousand other selves, those selves for Basse would not necessarily be doomed to death.

Or, the ability to literally steal more time, which fits in more with her overworked collage student theme. She can add time to countdowns, and give people more time before an event occurs by extending the amount of time they have with her abilities. Like Vriska's luck though, she has to take the time from somewhere else. In short, she'd have to reduce the duration of something else to increase it elsewhere.

[up][up][up][up] That's a good idea. Here I go.

A Bard's purpose is to inspire, to instill in their allies the potential to advance towards future victories. A Bard of Rage, for example, would draw his friends into a frenzy, allowing them to tear apart enemies with ease. A Bard of Light might grant his comrades luck, making their weapons strike true and their wounds less severe.

Void, conversely, is the great nothing, the space between atoms and the cold, bitter emptiness of a lost man's soul.

A Bard of Void's purpose is not to inspire his allies, but to demoralize his enemies. He reminds them of how insignificant they are compared to the void, and how all they love and treasure will be lost to nothing. This can cause a variety of effects, from making enemies break down crying to making them strike out against their allies in a fit of sorrow and rage. At higher levels, he can even cause enemies to give themselves to Void, turning them into walking singularities.

Hm. Void also grants the ability to be blanked out to detection, in Homestuck canon. The Bard could also make the group untrackable with his songs.

[up] I don't know, since neither of those exist in canon. Perhaps as a Sage he can read things similar to how a Seer can, and War has something to do with combat... reading the results of combat choices beforehand?

Alright. Here's what I thought up for Seer Of Space.

Once you awaken as the SEER OF SPACE, you have the ability to RANDOMLY PEEP IN ON OTHER PLAYERS IN YOUR SESSION NO MATTER HOW FAR THEY ARE. This would be much more useful if you WEREN'T ALL ON THE SAME PLANET.

The limitations of this power is that you CANNOT SELECT WHO YOU ARE LOOKING AT unless you have an aid, such as a CELESTIAL CRYSTAL BALL, and you cannot peek in on DREAMSELVES unless they have been awakened. You also can SEE LOCATIONS YOUR TEAMMATES HAVE EXPLORED AROUND YOUR INCISIPHERE. This would also be much more useful if you ACTUALLY HAD A MULTITUDE OF PLANETS, which again, you don't really have in your session. This can still be uesful though, to check up on the combination of LANDS you will all no doubt explore.

As X OF SPACE, you also have the duty of STARTING THE FORGE. Which could be useful or not depending on how your session goes.

...So yeah, that's basically the power my title entails. If it's a little bit too overpowered(With the whole being able to see anyone anywhere and the places they've explored.) I'll numb it down a little.

As for ideas for Sage Of War, maybe you'll have great experience in any battle? Maybe already know great tactics and have keen instinct on the art of war?

I think it's quite tame, light. As for Space and the Forge, that reminds me that Basse would have the device that started a Scratch or our session's equivalent in her planet fragments.

Oh yeah, we have a Seer already... I think wisdom would make sense as a Sage. Perhaps instinctively knowing what to do in battle without actually knowing why? As opposed to a Seer?

That may be a part of it. How about this:

A Sage's role is to know. While a Seer may divine the outcomes of the future, it is a Sage's responsability to learn from the past.

War is the battlefield, strategy and clarity amidst the clanging of blades and the spilling of blood.

A Sage of War finds himself with the knowledge of great generals and tacticians. He may recognize a strategy from some ancient history book he read once or recall a strategic failure that once brought down a great leader. A Sage of War is king on the battefield, memorizing attack patterns and possible weak points for future exploitation.
