Powers: CA
The Maid and the Sylph are the active-passive pair for the Creation class, both of whom are hypothesized to be female-exclusive, but honestly, who knows anymore? Hussie doesn’t, that’s for sure, if his allowance of a female Prince is any indicator. The Maid specifically is able to create their Aspect for themselves. Take Aradia Megido as the Maid of Time, an example we will drill into the minds of anyone who reads these posts. In order to escape from Jack Noir, she froze him, and gave herself Time. And where this also gave her teammates Time, her first instinct, as would anyone’s be, was self-defense.
Void is the Aspect of, well, nothingness, and it’s also linked to obscuring information or outright destroying it, thereby making it Light’s antithesis (as Light, besides being about luck, is also about information). Therefore, the Maid of Void would be able to create nothingness for themselves, and get rid of information for themselves. And there is a HUGE amount of potential in doing that. The Maid, for example, in creating nothingness, might be able to eradicate mass swatches of enemies by taking their existence and getting rid of it entirely. They could get rid of practically everything in their path by using their Void powers in god tier. So if Jack Noir were flying at a Maid of Void, he might not even exist to hit them anymore, or at least, the Maid might not. After all, if they create Void for themselves in relation to themselves, they might be able to turn invisible and intangible, similar to how the Void ring made Roxy. They would be able to make an army harmless as a breeze and themselves impossible to detect.
In the sense of creating destruction for information, they would be able to erase certain information from people’s knowledge, things as simple as that one time you fell during that roller derby, or as large as…well, their whole life. The dangerous bit is that the Maid could even use this on themselves. Forgetting or making people forget is among the Maid’s specialties, and is really among one of the more dangerous ones. You know how in certain roleplaying games there’s a stealth skill sometimes (usually reserved for thieves or rogues, but that’s beside the point), but the moment you attack an enemy, another enemy notices and that’s that, you have to forgo stealth and go for straight-on brawn? Well, the Maid would be able to ignore that entirely. They kill an enemy, and when, or, rather, if, another notices, they would forget as soon as the Maid gets tired of them swinging their weapons around trying to hit them.
The Maid of Void would, as anyone could imagine, be a very good information-gatherer or spy. They would be able to use their Void powers to make themselves impossible to spot or sense the presence of, and even if they were spotted, the Maid could make them forget that they had ever noticed their presence in the first place. Furthermore, if they really wanted to, I don’t doubt that the Maid of Void, once their abilities have been refined enough, could take out an entire enemy settlement by themselves. They might even be able to sneak the Black King’s ring right off his finger. Who knows?
Weapons: TC
Well, then. Another Maid it is. As I have stated for previous Maids, the weapon pattern tends towards something that reflects the interests of the Maid. The examples provided are the Indiana Jones-y Aradia, who used a whip, the baking-loving Jane, who used a spoon/fork, and the kick-ass fashionista feminist rainbow drinker Porrim, who (it is theorized) wielded a lipstick that turned into a chainsaw. As for Void players, their weapons tend to be quieter. Horuss has been theorized to use a bow and arrow, Equius used the ½ bowkind specibus, and tended to use his bare hands, and Roxy uses a rifle, which can be easily silenced through the use of a silencer. As such, when you combine these two patterns, a Maid of Void would use something quiet that would reflect their interests. The following strife specibi come to mind:
(Please note: I do NOT know your interests or your OC’s, nor will I make any assumptions as if I do. I will simply use typical interests as a basis for the patterns.)
Land and Quest: TC and CA
Alright. The first Void land. And we are very limited in our examples, but, as per usual, we will do our best to try and get some land analyses for you. And again, our disclaimer: If you’re having trouble coming up with the quest or Aspect word for your land, we suggest the use of thepageofhopes’ word list to create your land.
Alright. Of the three Void players we have seen in canon, Equius Zahhak, the Heir of Void, Roxy Lalonde, the Rogue of Void, and Horuss Zahhak, the Page of Void, we have only seen two’s lands (Roxy’s and Equius’), but, of course, given how one is a member of a Void session, one that is inherently different to other sessions (read: regular ones), we can only use one, Equius’, the Land of Caves and Silence. This was an empty-looking land that, in an obvious (and, I imagine, intentional) contrast to Light lands, looked like it was perpetually night. Silence is a lack of sound, and the “lacking” part makes it the Aspect word, and I think it’s possible that Caves might be the aesthetic word, as one would think that they are a permanent structure, leaving Silence to be the quest word, but given how little time that was spent in the Land of Caves and Silence, even in Paradox Space, there isn’t much we know about the land. We can imagine that Void lands would have a direct contrast to Light lands as for the light that’s on it, and where Light lands look like they’re at various stages of the daytime, Void lands would be in darkness.
Which brings us to our quest for the Maid of Void. Now, most would think that the quest would be something like getting rid of the darkness around that land because darkness is really kind of bad and scary, right? WRONG. If anything, the Maid of Void would actually make it so the land becomes even darker.
So, the consorts of this land, even after millenia of adapting to constant or near-constant darkness, think, “Hey, wouldn’t it be a great idea to go and bring light to our planet? Oh, there’s a tablet that tells us exactly how our world came to be plunged into darkness in the first place so we can figure out what we need to do to reverse this? Cool!”
What they don’t know, however, is that the “ancient language” they’re deciphering, is actually Alternian/English/another language the Maid might speak (who knows, they might be bi- or tri- lingual), and they can read it perfectly well. And while they’re slaving away to read from the top down, they really should be reading from the bottom up, because as soon as they get to the last step, they’re not going to read the bottom part of the tablet, which is incidentally the most important (you would think an ancient civilization who knew how to essentially turn off their Sun would know how to place an important bit of information): a disclaimer that says that if they should bring light back to their world, they’re essentially just going to end up destroying everything, because as good as light is, the entire world has become suited for living in little to no light courtesy of a nearby star or whatever. There’s bioluminescent plants, and the consorts might have bioluminescence for themselves. Believe it or not, there is a major point to Void, and it’s that not everything has to be clear for it to work. I mean, how many people understand relativity? I know I don’t, and yet, it still works. Sometimes, there’s too much Light. Ignorance is bliss, and sometimes, ignorance is for the better.
So the Maid’s quest? Save the world. Destroy the tablet. Some things are better left unknown.
