QuestionHey guys! My friend gave me a link to your blog, and I saw that you explain and look into god tiers! So, I'll keep it brief. Can you guys do a Slyph of Heart? I was wondering what the land, weapons, and etc. would be! Thanks! Answer

TC, you hear that? People are recommending our blog. We’re cool now!
By the way, sorry this took so long.

Powers: CA

The Sylph and the Maid are the passive-active pair for the Creation classes. As their name suggests, these two classes create their Aspect for and others and for themselves, as their name suggests. While both of these classes are hypothesized to be made exclusively for females, who can even take anything the canon says seriously anymore?
…Us. The answer is us. We take the canon way too seriously.
But who says male Maids and Sylphs can’t exist anyway, huh?
Anyway, Sylphs, in addition to their creating their Aspect for others, have a second hypothesized power, and that is to heal using their Aspect or just heal their Aspect directly. Kanaya tried to heal Space of the troll species’ absence…I mean, that didn’t really work (*cough*Eridanmesseditup*cough*), but it’s the thought that counts!
Anyway, the Sylph of Heart would be able to create Heart for others. Heart has three main interpretations: soul, emotions, and self, all three intertwinable, and easily confusable at that, but make for surprisingly distinct powers. Let’s look at creating emotions for others.
You know those times. Someone’s going on and on and on about something you just don’t care about. You can’t tell them that, though, they’d think you’re a jerk. So you’re forced to listen while pretending to care. The Sylph of Heart would have the perfect empathetic response, though. They would be able to create emotions that others want them to feel to know just what it expected. They’re amazing listeners, and what’s better is they can be great mediators, too. If two people are in an argument, they would be able to show exactly what the other person was feeling by creating similar emotions in both parties. The Sylph of Heart could stop a war before it started by creating just the right emotions to make people not want to fight…although, this would exclude the creation of apathy, as that would simply be the destruction of other emotions, more the Prince or Bard of Heart’s schtick.
As for creating soul for others, this is something quite similar to the Maid of Heart’s ability, except where the Maid would only make clones of themselves, the Sylph would make clones of others. These clones would strike precisely where it would hurt deepest, the soul. Great for taking in an enemy, or, you know, potentially an ally, alive.
As such, the Sylph of Heart would take a mostly pacifistic route in battle. This in no way means they are not a force to be reckoned with, as Sylphs in general tend to buff their allies, but they also tend to kick people’s asses with the weapons they have (*cough*cuttingEridaninhalf*cough*). Have fun.


Weapons: TC

Sylph of Heart weapons are straightforward.  Seeing as I have already covered the weapon patterns for both heroes of Heart and Sylphs more times than I can count, I’m sure that most of you might already be acquainted with their weapon patterns.  The weapons of a Sylph tend to be capable of transforming from something everyday and unassuming into something deadly, like Kanaya’s lipstick chainsaw.  The weapons of Heart players tend to be oriented towards cutting, like Dirk’s sword and Nepeta and Meulin’s claws.  Put these patterns together, and you’ll get something unassuming that can transform into something that can cut a bitch.  While the unassuming form is up to you, I recommend the following as the more combat-ready weapons.

  • Axekind: Look at that choice axe.
  • Bladekind: Zack Fair called.  He wants his buster sword back.
  • Chainsaw: Yes, I know every weapon I described above is in this list.
  • Clawkind: Are you the first X-Man?  Ah, forget it, that joke’s ahead of your time.
  • Knifekind: Oh, no!  You found my weakness!  Small knives!
  • Scythekind: Why not harvest some wheat after reaping your foes?
  • Sicklekind: Day 54- The capitalist pigs suspect nothing.


Land and Quest: TC and CA

Alright, so, this is the spot where we usually put a word list made by thepageofhopes in case you get stuck on your land’s Aspect word. We did that. Let’s go.
So far, we’ve seen the lands of two Heart players, Dirk Strider, the Prince, and Nepeta Leijon, the Rogue, but of those two, we can probably only use one as an example, as Dirk’s session is a Void session, which leads to some automatic differences between his world and the world of a Heart player in a normal session. For example, his entire world is covered in a noble gas, and is filled with dead, skeletal consorts…or maybe those are just monsters?
In any case, the unfortunate fact is that we are now limited to only using one land, the Land of Little Cubes and Tea. Nepeta’s land is an oddity in its nomenclature, given how it is made of an extra word. While this was presumably done only on Hussie’s part to make the abbreviation for the land LOLCAT, this is an interesting thing and I felt need to make a note of it.
In any case, Nepeta’s land is rather easy to deconstruct and decipher. The “Little Cubes,” part is likely a reference to the little cubes forming staircases and such all along the land, looking suspiciously like sugar cubes. This is likely the Aspect word. Heart lands tend to be sweet and soft, and these “Little Cubes” are most likely made of sugar. The “Tea,” part is quite obviously a reference to the teapots sitting on top of the mountains on the land. We aren’t entirely certain which is the quest and which is the aesthetic word given how little time there was spent focusing on the characters in the Land of Little Cubes and Tea, but that’s as much as we can learn from the name and brief glances we have gotten of the land.
As a side note, if none of the words in thepageofhopes’ list appeal to you or they don’t seem to fit the land you had pictured for your character (if you thought of a quest beforehand), it is possible that the Aspect word for a Heart land is meant to sort of reflect the nature of the player. Nepeta, despite having her underlying metal-as-all-hell nature, was a sweet, adorable individual, a personality that made her easy to like, and as such, her land reflected that. Dirk didn’t have an Aspect word, but his land reflected him, as it was a very interesting land with great levels of depth to it, like Dirk.
Okay, with that description out of the way, what would the Sylph of Heart do for their quest? Their job is to stop a war among their consorts, one for resources and land, one that would kill so many. This war was prophesied, so people feel compelled to have it go through, but without thinking of the consequences. Of the people.
Your job is to stop it as the Sylph of Heart. Mediate. Show the two sides the people they would be harming. You show them what it is they’re destroying, make them feel the need to not do it. Replace their apathy with something far greater.
