In my next post, I’ll guide you through a step-by-step process to solve your Classpect Profile. There are many useful tools and resources to aid you in the process. It also requires a lot of introspection, self-reflection, and self-understanding. Whatever the reason, now you have alternate possibilities!ĭetermining which roles comprise a Classpect Profileįirst, it requires a full understanding of what each class and aspect means. Maybe your session has players with overlapping classes or aspects, and you want everyone’s to be unique. Maybe your session needs a Space or Time player. Not a fan of the Bard codpiece? Or maybe you have a “gender-exclusive” class opposite of your gender, and you’d prefer one that matches. If you’re having difficulty determining your precise Hero Title (and subrole), solving your Classpect Profile can help you discover it, through process of elimination.Ī Classpect Profile also provides Hero Title options!įor whatever reason, you’re not fond of your primary role, you can choose an alternate role as your Hero Title. The primary pair is the Hero Title and subrole.Įssentially, a Classpect Profile helps you gain a better understanding of yourself and how you might affect reality, beyond one or two aspects. I call these 6 pairs a Classpect Profile. I theorize that there are 12 different roles (or classpects) that fit a person-6 unique pairs of roles-comprised of each standard classes and each aspect. That is, they focus only on the Hero Title and possibly its inverse.īut really, if the 12 aspects are meant to encompass all of reality, and the classes are how one interacts with an aspect, wouldn’t that mean every aspect has influence on an individual, not just one or two of them? That would mean an individual consists of every aspect and class. Possibly two if they subscribe to the inversion/subrole/duality theory. When people try to determine a mythological role (or “classpect”), they often tend to focus on only one class and one aspect that fit an individual.

There’s no way Hussie could have NOT based the SBURB class system on this concept. Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI) (Wikipedia) Thief = Revolutionary / Rebel / DestroyerĪpparently there’s a whole formal, official, scientific-based personality test regarding the Twelve Archetypes called the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI).While not perfect, they translate really well, too! That is absolutely the Homestuck class system. Pearson, inspired by the Jungian notions of personality types and archetypes, as well as Joseph Campbell’s theory of a monomyth (aka The Hero’s Journey).Īnd, well… Wow. Apparently it’s a concept by psychologist Carol S. I recently came across something called the Twelve Archetypes.
