Marceline is a Witch of Heart. Also, i think this belongs in the forum games section.

Superheroes vary enormously by writer, so I'll stick with my favorites. Let's start with some DC:
Batman = Knight of Rage. The BatGod versions that always know what other people will do are more adequately described as Mind players, but I'll stick with Rage for my favorite version. Fear is his stock and trade, and deception his main weapon. He's a human who makes himself look like a myth to prevent other kids from having their parents shot in a back alley.
Superman = Heir of Hope. Superman's primal appeal was defined way back in the Fleischer cartoons: he's the guy who swoops in and saves the day when the odds are firmly stacked on the side of "tragedy". He makes the impossible possible and inspires people to believe in a better tomorrow just by being himself.
Flash = Rogue of Time. Flash's speed comes from time displacement, and several versions of him struggle with various facets of mortality (outrunning representations of death is a recurring motif, as is dealing with the inevitability of certain events). In team efforts, he tends to work by disrupting the enemy's actions (taking away their time to act and giving it to allies) to allow other heroes to strike decisively. The most famous act of any Flash was an extreme self-sacrifice meant exactly to buy his teammates more time - and in the process leaving none for himself.
Wonder Woman = Sylph of Blood. Each writer tries to take Wonder Woman in a wildly different direction, so this depends really heavily on interpretation. I'll go with the version that describes Wonder Woman as someone who bridges the gap between masculinity and femininity. She takes on the assertiveness, strength and confidence normally reserved to masculine heroes, while retaining feminine traits like nurturing and acceptance. That fits with her role as an emissary of peace and understanding from a women-only island to man's world. Fitting with the responsibility side of Blood, I've seen writers make her a more pragmatic counterpart to both Superman and Batman, as she's trained as a classical warrior and will readily put the mission above her personal honor code.
Green Lantern: Maid of Heart. Materializes internal strength as physical constructs, which become more powerful the more willpower they have. That's valid for all GLs.
Bonus: STARDUST THE SUPER WIZARD = Prince of Doom. The best superhero of all time has the powers of "whatever stuff he needs to mete hilarious punishment to his enemies" and "being immensely creepy". He both destroys Doom (by breaking any rules of self-consistency with his powers that change as the plot demands) and destroys with Doom (by using his powers to enforce deadly and inflexible justice).

deception his main weapon. However, obfuscation of knowledge, or an outright lack of knowledge is under void, so I would say he could be a Void player as well, potentially. Or at least that this shouldn't really be evidence for a Rage player.

Or at least that this shouldn't really be evidence for a Rage player. My interpretation goes towards "narrowing of possibilities" rather than "obfuscation". He doesn't want to be unseen and unnoticed, he wants to be seen, just in a very particular way that hides his true nature in favor of a fake one. That's Rage-y to me.

I finished reading A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley two days ago.
John the Savage: Bard of Heart (his obsession with the soul+his unpredictability and inner conflict) World Controller Mustapha Mond: Lord of Blood (links with happiness+in charge of the community) Bernard Marx: Heir of Rage (general hate of society for as long as it shuns him, and for a time postured hate of society to feel superior) Henry Foster: Knight of Void (protects by inhibiting people's abilities via genetics n stuff, i.e. creating void in them) Helmhut Watson: Mage of Breath (interest in poetry and independent thought, but can't connect to the past completely) Lenina Crowe: Maid of Doom
This set up would make this hypothetical game of SBURB an unwinnable session because it lacks a Time player and a Space player. The fact that this session couldn't be won seems appropriate because of the general athmosphere and structure of the book.

My interpretation of Batman and Superman has always been as twin master class players, the Lord of Rage and the Muse of Hope. Batman doesn't just use fear as a weapon like a Knight, he uses it to control people. He also understand and manipulates his enemies' mental illnesses (another facet of Rage). As for Superman, I've always felt that what he actually does is secondary to the hope he inspires in people, which is a very Musey thing.

If fedora freak is the Gent of Piss, then fedora friend is the Dude of Shit. Sweet Bro must be Bro of Sweet, and Hussie is the Waste of Space, which makes Toby the Waste of Time.

Fun fact: Hussie actually never was the "Waste of Space". That title is something someone made up and put on the wiki and it unfortunately spread around as truth before wiki mods corrected it.

His only known title is the "Huss of Lips", which he promptly decided was too much like something his fans would think of.

Ladybug is a Witch of Life and Chat Noir is a Prince of Doom. Hawkmoth is a Bard of Rage all the way.
Steven is a Knight of Life, Pearl is a Maid of Breath, Garnet is a Seer of Light and Amethyst is an Heir of Heart. (and Lapis is a Thief of Breath, Peridot a Mage of Light and Jasper a Page of Heart.)

Ladybug has the power of creation and purification. She manipulates life and existence. Chat Noir has the Cataclysm, a handy destructive power to fight evil. Destroy doom (destroy through? works too.) Hawkmoth uses people's feelings to manipulate them into his soldiers. He allows destruction through emotions.
Steven, with his shield and caring nature, protects life. (or alternatively, he refuses to even harm his enemies. is that the same? let's admit.) Pearl has fought for freedom alongside Rose Quartz, serving this cause. Serve freedom, Maid of Breath. Garnet has future vision (Seer), and is a rational Gem that knows a lot of things (Light). Amethyst trusts her gut more than her mind and often acts on impulse. The late Summer of Steven episodes showed her struggle with her own identity as a 'failure', but I think she'll be ready to stand on her own and be her own gem. It's quite tricky, but that's how I see it.
Lapis literally stole the ocean for her freedom. Can't be clearer. Peridot knows a lot of stuff, but as of now her true abilities are still quite unknown. However she shows a clear 'trying to understand' side, and I think that's representative of Mages. I said Jasper was a Page of Heart, but she kinda shows traits of a Page of Mind too. She's rational and obedient to the established order, "if you can't fill your purpose you gotta be exterminated" and all. She's a servant to the Diamonds and this ideology, and is only a pawn on Homeworld's schemes.
I'm not an expert on Classpects and i don't know all the canon, but since there's much room for interpretation I think I'm equally right and wrong. At least that's how I see things, you've got the right not to agree.

So this thread has been dead for a few months, but I was thinking recently... ideas on classpects for Arrow and Flash?

Regarding Undertale, I've seen quite a lot of arguing over weather Sans's aspect is Time or Space. On one hand, he's one of the few characters who seem to have even a vague understanding of how timelines work, and it's hinted that he owned a time machine. On the other hand... he can literally teleport.

On the other hand... he can literally teleport. To be fair, Muse!Calliope had that whole part in her speech about Time and Space not being that different, and Time travel, when Dave does it at various points, looks like teleportation. In any case, I'm personally more attached to Time than Space, but eh. Steven, with his shield and caring nature, protects life. (or alternatively, he refuses to even harm his enemies. is that the same? let's admit.) Pearl has fought for freedom alongside Rose Quartz, serving this cause. Serve freedom, Maid of Breath.

The late Summer of Steven episodes showed her struggle with her own identity as a 'failure', but I think she'll be ready to stand on her own and be her own gem. It's quite tricky, but that's how I see it. I can't see Steven as an active player. A Seer of any kind makes sense for Garnet.

Okay, but what about Bill Cipher?
Also, regarding Steven Universe, am I the only one here that's seen the Hussie-Endorsed classpects for the characters?

But I've also seen softowl, Hussie's partner confirm for us that Hussie's only seen about half an episode of the show. So don't put too much stock into it. (Sadly the quote was on the lost old forums)
