For the ppl with a short memory of Europe's long history of war:

Dutch data project Nodegoat used an algorithm to map all the battles fought in history

the data project found that Europe and the US are the bloodiest parts of the world

If you’re not too busy, may I ask for a Knight of Life analysis? I like hearing different takes on my classpect, general personality traits, and what sort of powers it can have! Also, maybe what a Knight of Life gone Grim Dark would be like? Thanks! You’re doing great btw!

Well thank you! I’m glad to hear people think I’m doing a good job.

Knight of Life. That’s an interesting one. Life is related to wealth, growth, liberation, positivity, and living things. Knights utilize and protect through their aspect and begin with some kind “armor” put in place to mask a part of themselves that they wish to hide from others and/or themselves. A Knight that grows into their class will learn to stop overcompensating and will let down that shield they put up. Knights also commonly represent the aspect that’s missing from a session.

A Knight of Life would likely be someone that acts very optimistic and positive, but fears things that they view as failures. They’d use that energy for their own benefit and would probably be able to use money to get what they wanted as well. I can see a Knight of Life that may bribe a doorman at a club to get in and party. The Knight would be the type to get a raise at their job so easily, that they probably wouldn’t expect it themselves, but they’d just roll with it like everything else. As hard working and perseverant people, they’d just keep getting what they want simply because they put in the effort to get it, but they’d never stop trying to get more, and would more than likely overwork themselves. As people that easily stay active, they may end up ditching things, including people, that they view as barriers for their progress. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on the situation. They’d be perfectionists to a fault. Another analysis page has labeled Black Star from Soul Eater as a Knight of Life and I couldn’t agree more. His catchphrase is “I am the man that will surpass God!” That in if itself sums up the Knight’s outlook. “My best won’t be good enough unless it’s perfect.”

Power-wise, they’d be pretty powerful and their abilities have potential to be super cool. As weaponizers of Life, if I stretch the imagination a bit, I could imagine a Knight of Life that’s able to control plants and use them in a Poison Ivy-like way. If any class can do this, it would be the Knight of Life, Witch of Life, Heir of Life or Prince of Life. The Knight of Life would also have strong healing abilities. Maybe not as strong as a Maid or Sylph of Life, but certainly strong enough to heal allies while in combat or to have some kind of healing factor like Wolverine. Hell, they may even be able to use the collective energies of their teammates to boost the power of the whole team. Like a healing buff or some kind of shield. A Knight of Life would be extremely difficult to fight as they balance defense with offense very well. Even if they weren’t around any plants, they could still heal themselves and even use their “life force” as a weapon, again, similar to Black Star with his soul force ability.

The Knight of Life is extremely unlikely to go Grimdark in my opinion, but if they were to, they’d invert to a Rogue of Doom. Rogues have a hard time feeling like they can handle the responsibility of their aspect. They also steal or redistribute their aspect for the sake of their team. Doom is related to restrictions, limitations, caution, negativity, and sacrifice. It also often has ties to explosions, fire, and decay. In this case, because I like to view inverted Grimdark players as having negative powers, the Knight may end up stealing rules and order from their team or could end up imposing restrictions on the team that they steal from a foe, because they believe it is best for everyone. They could also take away caution from the team and could potentially cause some serious damage by making everyone reckless. If someone was fated to die, they could redistribute the thing that kills them to someone else, which could end up being a teammate if they get too far out of control. The Knight would definitely need someone to snap them out of it somehow before they harmed the session too much.

I made this post for someone very dear to me, who loves “Sburb theory” for both roleplay and self-discovery purposes. But I don’t think I’ll make another post on “finding your classpect”, because it’s discussed like a deeply personal topic on this site, and I feel odd discussing that on a website where most of the active fans are strangers much younger than myself. Without further ado:

wahoo. wooha. etc

Borderline individuals are the psychological equivalent of third-degree-burn patients. they simply have, so to speak, no emotional skin. even the slightest touch or movement can create immense suffering.

Concept: a knight of space who grows mushrooms.

I've been on the CPTSD sub Reddit for a good while now and I'm starting to realise, that I'm in the later stages of healing than most people in that sub Reddit.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, healing takes time and take all the time that you need. Nothing wrong in that.

It just jogged my memory of how my therapist said to me, MANY times when my therapist said I put in a lot of work in myself, before I had therapy. Like my bf, normally people with a lot of Trauma date abusive people (no matter what gender they are). She said "normally people come to me when they are at 0, you on the other hand. You've already understand how your brain works and you've already trained yourself to rethink in different situations".

IF I said that in the sub Reddit, or a Facebook group or any other trauma survivors. I get bullied of like "omg you can't think like that. YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE ME". Fucking why??? Aren't we all individuals, with our own feelings, our own thoughts and our own emotions. Why do trauma survivors do this? I legit, don't understand.

Yes, I put in the work because I WANTED to heal. I've told many stories on how Healing is a choice (I might post more when my memories come up). You have Google, you have the library, you have FREE ACCESS TO PSYCHOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BRAIN.

Do know what I typed in Google, when I wanted to understand my own brain. Okay... Here's a list;

Why I get flashbacks?

What is Flashbacks?

Why do I date abusive men?

What is Trauma Bonding?

Why do I attract toxic friends?

Why do I get nightmares?

PTSD symptoms

PTSD symptoms no one talks about

PTSD depression

Why doesn't my mother love me?

Depression in PTSD

PTSD Vs CPTSD

Why do I argue a lot?

Why do hide myself?

What is Co-dependency

What is trauma bonding?

Toxic mother's

What is over bearing mother's?

Why do I hate myself?

Understanding the dynamics of Dysfunctional families?

What is Dysfunctional families?

What is narcissism?

Narcissistic mother?

The effects on sexual assault in children?

Aftermath after sexual assault and the symptoms?

What is Trauma Bonding in families?

What is trauma memories?

How do I cope with trauma memories?

How do I escape my abusive family?

What is a refuge?

How much does living own cost?

This is just SOME on what I typed in. IF you follow my blog, you know I ask questions on WHY. Why do we do the things that we do? Why do we act in a certain way? Why, why, why.

I know people hate me asking questions on why. Oh, I know they do. They can fuck off because I ain't changing. Asking why, helped me understand my brain. I'm not changing for no one. Fuck that!

I do this to understand my brain and how it works.

I WANTED to heal, so I asked myself; why?
