By the way Phi...I found a FAQ that has some pretty excellent explanations of titles and aspects. It suggests this power for the Thief of Void.

"The Thief of Void can mess with an enemy’s technology in order to erase their own trail- removing their image from security cameras, destroying databases with information on them, etc."

Thief of Void

Thieves are possibly the most active of the normal classes. They have the ability to steal their aspect from others and use it directly for their own benefit. Their more passive counterpart is the Rogue.

Void players have control over information, specifically the concealment and destruction of it. With the ability to hide their and others' presence from view, they are a team's greatest asset for staying out of the eyes of higher powers. They are often technically minded, and tend to be more cautious than teammates.

Mage of Space

Little is known about Mages, other than that they use magical powers. Hence the name 'Mage'. Yeah.

Space players can warp space at will, adjusting the size and momentum of objects. They are absolutely essential for any session to be victorious, as they are responsible for the creation of the new universe.

Your world is bright, lively, and alwasy changing. There doesn't seem to be very many rules associated with the world, almost as if it's ruled by chaos. There are many, many consorts, but none of them are organized, however, they know the world and it's secrets. Without them, the world will alwasy seem foreign and trite, with no real purpose.

Your quest is to figure out the rules and systems governing the world and learn to work it to your advantage! Think Rose’s quest to learn to “play the rain”.

Hemospectrum Blood Color

Brown - Brown Blood is the second-lowest class of blood. They are more psychically susceptible than most trolls as well, but again said to be more likely to develop psychic powers. Trolls of this caste have also been called fudgebloods, and Terezi associates the blood's smell with chocolate. This was referred to as Bronze in both the music album and Gamzee's potion.
Both Tavros Nitram and his Ancestor The Summoner have the psychic ability to commune with and command the various beasts of Alternia (and in Tavros's case the Underlings of the Incipisphere, possibly due to their Lusus prototypings).

HomeStuck Species:

Prospitian

True to their name, carapacians have shiny, rigid carapaces and, like humans, red blood. The only exception seen to this so far is Snowman who had blue blood. It should be noted that this was not due to her being royality, as both the White Queen and King, as well as the Black King were shown to have red blood. Rather, it was supposed to signify her tie to the lifeline of the Alternian universe, which is represented by blue. All carapacians besides the royalty of the kingdoms have barcodes on their wrists due to being cloned in The Veil. It is implied that they are made from the genetic material of the royalty. They resemble chess pieces, due to their serving a similar purpose. Carapacians come in many shapes and sizes, some having flat teeth and others fangs, some having claws and others variable numbers of fingers, but it's most likely that they're differing species within the same genus

The way I wanted to do it was to have the void aspect work in inverse in this case because the stealing of "nothing" would produce "something."

I was going to have my character be the smith of the group who had a natural talent with alchemizing things who had a broken Flumoxie stat due to his void attribute making him have strong special abilities.

If I'm stealing the void from it, I'm forcing it to take substance because it can no longer be nothing.

The FAQ I was reading is here. Like many others it is purely based on speculation, but from what I've read its fairly well thought out.

But creation of things kinda violates the core principle of the Void aspect. That's what doesn't make sense to me. But you can ignore me. I was never good with that kind of thing anyways.

I rather like this ability though, I'd rather try to tie it in closer to the void aspect before scratching it.

Perhaps if I did more with the actual void substance after I have stolen it to create something. Maybe some adverse side effects in my character tied to the broken stats due to him have this stolen void that he can no longer get rid of because that is not how the thief class works.

I suppose. By the way, which God-Tier did you plan on using? I'm just wondering, because if you use the Mage of Space, then me using the Prince of Space would be redundant since we don't need two space characters. So, I;d have to go with Bard of Breath or retake the test.

I suppose I should give the land test another go....I kinda flaked it the first time.

Couple things I wonder though.

How would we handle Alchemy outputs?
Could shrinking an object reach a point at which it would collapse and form a black hole?
How would our ancestors become relevant?
Who or what brought us together for Sburb?
How would we handle Grist dispersion?

Alchemy/Grist: Start out just using items we could find around where we live. Our characters should have a basic understanding of alchemy if we go with the background I suggested. Unless it makes sense for a certain class/title, everyone should just work to make sure to keep their weapons around the same power level and only upgrade their weapons after something has been accomplished in the story.

Yeah probably but I would wait to pull that out until later.

I'm not sure unless we have them actually show up due to scratch/bug/time shenanigans.

If we are all former Sburb players then we would simply contact each other over the internet and motion to get the game underway.

Worth noting as interesting trivia is the connection between the aspect of a session's Knight and a deficit of said aspect among the team. In the beta kids' session, Dave uses his abilities as a Hero of Time to make up for the fact that they had an early reckoning, and in the post-scratch troll session Karkat attempts to rally his co-players together despite an enormous lack of unity (something which could conceivably be related to the Blood aspect). Meenah describes her co-players as stupid throughout her stories of their session, possibly pertaining to Latula's aspect, Mind.
Well, shit.
