#Knight class

[classpecting-thoughts]

Apologies for a lack of posts! I fell down an AO3 rabbit hole and just crawled out.

I’ve been reading DCxDP crossovers, despite having 1) never seen Danny Phantom and 2) having never read any Batman comics, and only having seen like.. 3 Batman movies, none of which were the same continuity (The Batman, Batman Begins, and the Tim Burton one, for those curious. Of those three I only enjoyed The Batman).

That being said, I have aspect thoughts for some characters purely based on the fannon in these fics and would like to hear others’ thoughts. Note my above credentials and take everything with a grain of salt.

Batman, at least in any continuity it’s reasonable for him to have the Batfam in (glares at most of the movies other than The Batman), is a Blood player. He’s defined by his relationship to his city, his many children, his dead family, and his adoptive father/butler. He is 100% a passsive class, active use type. I’d say Knight, maybe Heir.

Danny is an Heir of Heart. Did I base this thought mostly on the fact that that is literally “One who becomes/inherits soul”? Yes. Do I still think it fits outside of that? Also yes.

Jason went grimdark when he came back and some of that stuck with him, maybe to the point that either his class or aspect fully shifted. I’m not sure what he was before nor what he is now, but I’m certain that they’re different.

Okay so I don't know where I heard it or where it came from (it might be canon for all I know idk Homestuck was long as shit I don't remember) but supposedly Knights lack whatever their aspect is within their session. For example, Dave's session, as the Knight of Time, was only about a day long and then Karkat, as the Knight of Blood... well, I don't really know but I assume it's because he hid his blood colour? I'm not really sure... Anyway, I think this is interesting for two reasons.

First of all--and this one holds no bearing on the narrative or anything, I just thought it was interesting--Time is associated with music, and while the beta kids' session is supposed to lack Time, each kid knows an instrument (or is otherwise musically inclined cuz idk if turntables are considered an instrument exactly lmao). John plays piano, Rose plays violin, Jade plays guitar, and Dave plays(?) turntables. I mean, I guess they already lack Time in the most literal sense of the aspect, so I guess if the theory is true it might stick to something more literal rather than encompassing the whole of the aspect or something like that idk. And actually, come to think of it, Time being associated with music may just be fanon as well that I've taken to be true solely because it's been hanging around in my head for so long.

But I digress. Long story short there is their session is apparently supposed to lack Time, Time is associated with music, each kid knows how to play an instrument, and therefore they don't lack that aspect of the aspect (lmao). Which doesn't mean anything, it's just interesting.

Anyway, second of all. And still operating under the assumption that Knights lack their aspect in their session here btw. I think it's probably more like they lack their aspect until they don't. Because for Dave their initial session is only about a day long until he, Rose, and the (remaining) trolls have to hang around in the Veil(?) for 3 years waiting for John and Jade and stuff. I.e., they're lacking Time until they got a whole hell of a lot of it. Similar goes for Karkat, I think, with the whole bloodbath Gamzee situation. I.e., they're lacking Blood until there's a whole hell of a lot of it.

Though I guess maybe that bloodloss is supposed to be the lack in the first place? Whatever man. That's just what I've been thinking lately k thx bye xoxo

after having a very enlightening discussion about the knight class with my friend (since i am a knight) it also illuminated things about dave’s insecurities that jade rectifies

but uhh some knight classpect analysis whatever

[rogue-of-heart-classpecting]

What's the difference between a mage, sylph, muse, and knight of void?

Mage knows how to screw in a lightbulb but won’t tell you.

Sylph goes around unscrewing lightbulbs humming to themself.

Muse preaches about the value of darkness but doesn’t actually unscrew anything.

Knight slingshots every lightbulb in the house.

None of them can change a lightbulb.

I saw your tag on the post about Karkat "and that's why Karkat is a KNIGHT of blood", what's your analysis of Knights? Why do you think it he is a Knight (or important for him to be one)? No pressure to answer, I know you are generally busy. Thank you and have a good day!

Knights are there to both signal and, more importantly, make up for a deficit in an Aspect in any given session.

Dave is a Knight of Time, and the Beta Kid session lacked Time that he had to scramble to make up for. Karkat is the same with the lack of Blood in the Beta Troll session. The Beta Trolls undoubtedly care about each other, but they were raised in a system that's actively hostile towards the formation of genuine, grounded emotional connections with other people.

Weird Homestuck Classpect feelings

Does anybody else fight with a really weird form of imposter syndrome when it comes to your classpect? Especially if you get a classpect that is already used by a character in the Homestuck webcomic?

Like, for me I am a Knight of Time but that title is already taken by Dave Strider and it would feel really weird if I made a Knight of Time outfit cause then it would look like a really shitty cosplay (like as if I was dressing up as Dave but didn't bother getting a wig or sun glasses) I dunno, maybe it's just me overthinking this.

Don't get me wrong tho, I fully believe that all these quizzes are right and i relate to it and all, but it just feels... weird, ya know??

How about the Knight of Heart? As a treat. It's my classpect.

🌑 Of course!! Thanks for the ask. 🌑

Knight of Heart

Knight: Knights are a protector class, through and through. They use a mask of self-importance/“cool”ness to hide how much they care for others, and they’re happiest when their friends are happy.

Heart: Heart is the aspect of emotion, self-expression and the True Self. Because of this, they can be very different depending on class, but you can certainly never accuse a Heartbound of being shallow. They can have trouble separating their inner world and the real world, though.

Inverted Title: Rogue of Mind

Oh this is gonna be fun, knights are among my favourites. Very well then. A Knight of Heart is an interesting case. How does one hide behind identity? Simple enough, a KoH wants everyone to believe they know exactly who they are. And it works, too! From the outside, a Knight of Heart is impenetrable. They may not be the most well-liked person in the room, or the most talented, but it doesn’t matter, because they’re completely aware and sure of themselves, and that means nothing can shake them, be it a petty insult or a crisis.

Whether this is actually true depends on the particular knight and how far along they are in their development, but it will nonetheless be something they strive for. This Knight is also interesting because it would genuinely be hard to parse said development, since they were hiding behind their true self in the first place. Even if their mask consisted of Emotion rather than Self, or some other aspect of Heart, the end result would be the same. Long story short, a Knight of Heart would be Rose Lalonde’s worst nightmare.

We’ve talked at length about the inner workings of this Knight, now let us look at how they might interact with the world around them. Heart players seem to have an innate understanding of what makes up the core of people, their heart if you will, and Knight being the class of innate skill with their aspect, this ability would become a weapon in their hands. Just as with all knights though, this weapon is a double-edged sword, and a Knight that is too empathetic may let their understanding of people get in the way of treating them as they deserve, or in turn a more unempathetic Knight might come to see any person’s action that doesn’t match up with the version of them they perceive as a deception. Whoo, that was a sentence and a half.

I feel as though I’ve been a bit harsh to this classpect. That’s part of the nature of the Knight class though, occasionally they need a reality check. Not that their heads tend to wander, Knights tend to be fairly rooted in reality, only that they tend to lose sight of others’ perspectives in favour of their own. Particularly unhealthy knights also tend towards self-sustaining loops of anxiety, usually somewhat regarding their aspect. “Is the version of me I show others truly who I am? Are my emotions justified?” A Knight that can stay grounded is a formidable force, however, and should not be underestimated.

A Knight of Heart might be someone who enjoys and is skilled in roleplaying, and by connection RPGs. They strike me as the type to enjoy games where decisions and consequences hold real weight, and their dialogue options always reflect their true feelings, rather than the ‘good’ path most main characters are pushed into pursuing. They might also be skilled in matters regarding technology, coding and torrenting, and for some reason my intuition tells me scrapbooking. It’s an interesting idea, for sure. If you’re a KoH feel free to tell me how you feel about scrapbooking I’d love to hear it.

Mostly they need to remember that their achievements hold weight, and others cannot prescribe meaning to what they hold dear, only they can. As the knower of all that is irrelevant, I would know. Also, they shouldn’t let the whims of others become obstacles for their own desires.

not sure if you’re still taking questions but in case you are, what classpect do you think furina would be!

I’ve said this previously but I do think that she’d be an heir of heart masquerading as a knight. Inheriting the humanity forcalors always wanted to have.

It can work vice-versa too however, a knight masquerading as an heir. Putting up a mask and make everyone belive she’s an archon

Man I love her character there’s so much for me to dissect!!

Powerset for a Knight of Void

one who protects secrets, obscurity, and obsession

.

Basic Void powers: Epiphanies about people and their secrets, and inexplicable insights into things others worry about but never say aloud. They are also remarkably hard to spy on - any surveillance that targets them is returned silent, blacked out, or otherwise useless.

Knight special: Every time you fight someone, you get a flicker of insight into something they keep secret from their peers - this might be practical info like their fighting style's secret weakness, or a deeply personal sorrow or insecurity. The stronger the enemy is, the more likely you are to discover highly-guarded information.

.

Pick 1 Helm Skill, 1 Sword Skill, and 1 Shield Skill. Each skill's potency increases as you practice, gain experience, and progress in your personal development.

.

Helm Skills

Confidant: You always know how to hide evidence, and are remarkably resistant to interrogation, leading questions, or other attempts to make you divulge information you'd rather keep hidden.

Silhouette: You blend into crowds and shadows with ease. When you hide, only exceptionally skilled pursuers can pick you out.

Subterfuge: When you tell a lie, for better or for worse, people tend to believe you. If you tell someone two things that should be mutually exclusive, astute listeners may catch you, but most people will try and puzzle out a way you could be telling the truth, if they even notice.

.

Sword Skills

Merciless Shadowdance: When you attack an enemy, their shadow is effectively part of their hitbox - if you attack it via your own shadow, or with darkness-based magic, their real body gets wounded. They can take the damage that'd normally come from your weapon, or at your option, the same amount of frost damage or abyssal damage. Additionally, your shadow can follow up your melee attacks, dealing abyssal damage equal to 6% of the original attack's damage.

Unknowable Blades: When you're hiding weapons on your person, or holding them in your Sylladex, they are only detectable for you - people who search you can't find them, and scans don't register them. Your weapon attacks are silent unless you choose otherwise, and when you land sneak attacks and critical hits with your weapon, you can wreathe it in unearthly shade to deal bonus abyssal damage equal to +56% of the attack's damage.

Veil of Hazy Moonlight: In dimly-lit areas, darkness, heavy smoke, or fog, the murk blacks out most of your body, like a suit of invisiblizing armor. Your dodge chance is tripled under these conditions. Additionally, when you fight enemies you can't see, or when you're under a debuff that interferes with your senses, a gloomy blue aura spirals around you. Your base accuracy doubles, and you get +18% crit chance and +20% crit damage.

.

Shield Skills

Aphotic Refuge: When you detonate a smoke bomb, block out a light source, or otherwise improvise a hiding place, you can encircle it in a barrier of abyssal energy - invisible or lightlessly black, your choice. The barrier is cold to the touch, absorbs all non-magical damage for 6 seconds, and launches away enemies who try to touch it. You and your allies can pass through it without incident.

Blackout Burst: When you take lethal damage while not casting a shadow - in darkness, murky or foggy places, under the effects of invisibility, and more - you don't die. All enemies within 6 meters are encased in ice (frost damage) or thrashed by eldritch tendrils (bludgeoning damage), and your body blinks into nothingness. The following night, you emerge, fully healed, from a random body of water on one of the planets in your session.

Eldritch Armor: Any armor or protective gear you wear takes on an aesthetic appropriate to your image of Void - perhaps gaining a black-sapphire coloration that seems to dim surrounding light, streamlined subtle curves and a moonlit shimmer, or writhing eldritch tendril ornamentation. You get 88% resistance to abyssal damage, and 54% resistance to cold damage.

Knights don’t use their aspect like a shield or their inverse aspect like a shield they use their misconception of what their aspect is as a shield
