Classes of Light - AO Classpecting

Chosen Keywords: Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning

TEZ Keywords: Knowledge-seekers, students, problem-solvers, precision, scholars, researchers, resourceful, driven, (fussy, pedantic, insensitive)

CANON: Those bound to the aspect of Light are the universe's knowledge-seekers. They are, above all, driven to learn and understand. They are great alchemists, able to take multiple sources of information and synthesize them into something useful. They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake. They are the ultimate students, and although that might conjure up the image of people sitting around peacefully waiting for knowledge to be brought to them, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds. At their best, the Light-bound are resourceful and driven. At their worst they can be fussy, pedantic, and insensitive.

All of the analysis written below is my own writing, analysis, and thoughts as based on the sources I consulted. The statements are my own analysis, but they may function as a "fill in the blank" statement for you to create your own interpretation of the classpect as you please by replacing the aspect word with any of the provided keywords above.

Knowers/Changers

Mage (Active): Know - Too Much Experience with Light

A Mage of Light is almost constantly experiencing knowledge and evaluation from the people around them and their surroundings, which gives them a unique understanding of how insight and the meaning of something can help a situation... or hurt a situation.

A Mage of Light is flooded with Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), uniquely experiencing both the good and the bad of it. As a result, they gain a unique understanding of what Light is and does, often resenting it or becoming jaded and frustrated with it, but never rejecting it. Their challenge is to become open to new insight or different perspectives than their own.

Heir of Void (Inverse): As the Mage of Light knows Light in a flood of both good and bad, they end up embodying Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they know and experience Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they fully embody and thus must change Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Mage of Light does not undergo the Heir of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Heir class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Seer (Passive): Know - Too Little Experience with Light

A Seer of Light is surrounded by secrecy and many potential unknowns, and lacks knowledge and insight in their life, and as a result are driven to learn everything they can about meaningful evaluation in order to understand what they previously lacked.

A Seer of Light studies Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), craving knowledge of it from their previous lack of it. They seek knowledge of Light with a fierce intensity in order to gain more understanding of it, acknowledging the potential consequences of doing so and dealing with them later. Their challenge is to learn how to translate their insight and knowledge into action and decision, as well as learn how to manage their engagement with Light so as to not overwhelm themself or others.

Witch of Void (Inverse): As the Seer of Light attempts to gain experience with Light from their previous lack of it, they end up changing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they change and thus half embody Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities), they gain experience with and thus know Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Seer of Light does not undergo the Witch of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Witch class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Witch (Active): Change - Too Little Embodiment of Light

A) A Witch of Light embodies knowledge and the insight it gives them, in order to change their own and others evaluation of what something means.

B) A Witch of Light embodies the evaluation of what something means, in order to change their own and others knowledge and the insight it gives them.

Witches are self-assured and conclusive individualists. They pick and choose which parts and pieces of Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) fit into their own already determined desires, making Light embody themself and changing it to suit their own wants and needs. Their challenge is to achieve a stable balance in themself without losing themself to Light or their own changing whims.

Seer of Void (Inverse): As the Witch of Light changes the pieces of Light within themself, they end up experiencing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they change and half embody Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they gain experience with and thus know Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Witch of Light does not undergo the Seer of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Seer class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Heir (Passive): Change - Too Much Embodiment of Light

An Heir of Light embodies the ability of evaluation, meaning they are knowledgable; however, only by changing themself can they change the insight they gain and the meaning of it.

An Heir of Light inherits and embodies Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), allowing Light to change themself or itself. They have huge amounts of Light related strengths, allowing themself to be surrounded by Light or naturally gravitating towards it. Their challenge is to not get stuck on Light, to know when to move on and change themself to keep themself balanced.

Mage of Void (Inverse): As the Heir of Light embodies Light within themself, they end up knowing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they fully embody and thus must change Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they know and experience Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Heir of Light does not undergo the Mage of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Mage class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

Utilizers/Allocators

Knight (Active): Utilize - Too Much Skill with Light

A Knight of Light would be very skilled in using the knowledge they possess and the insight it gives them, to protect and defend the evaluation of others and the meaning given to them.

A Knight of Light is extremely adept with their Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), their driving effort to protect it and others through it. They are loyal to Light's cause and naturally gifted with it, using it as a tool to achieve whatever they set themself to. Their challenge is to learn how to be less harsh on themself, to accept and learn from failure, and to accept the assistance of others when they need it.

Rogue of Void (Inverse): As the Knight of Light utilizes Light from their loyalty to it, they end up valuing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they utilize and are skilled with Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they value and thus give/allocate Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Knight of Light does not undergo the Rogue of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Rogue class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Page (Passive): Utilize - Too Little Skill with Light

A Page of Light is a beginner when it comes to learning and evaluating the knowledge they gain, but they repeatedly strive to master it using the insight they've acquired and the meaning they've ascribed to it.

A Page of Light starts unskilled in Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), learning how it works and how to use it to its full potential over time. In their many attempts to master Light, they teach others the value of Light, becoming an unintentional source of inspiration. Their challenge is to keep at it, learn from failure, and eventually master Light, being able to confidently provide Light to others.

Thief of Void (Inverse): As the Page of Light attempts to gain skill with Light from their previous lack of it, they end up allocating Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they take/allocate and thus do not value Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities), they gain skill with and thus utilize Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Page of Light does not undergo the Thief of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Thief class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Thief (Active): Allocate - Too Little Value towards Light

A Thief of Light lacks knowledge and evaluation in their life, resulting in a fierce desire to possess such things for themself and leading to them not understanding the value of the insights they gain and what that means, as they take knowledge and the evaluations of others from others and hoard it all to themself for their own benefit.

A Thief of Light takes Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), either craving it fiercely from their lack of it in their lives or simply because they like it, stealing and hoarding it all for themself and their own personal benefit. Despite their outward confidence with Light, they often take it at face-value without learning of its true value, being unsatisfied with how much Light they hoard and craving more and more. Their challenge is to focus less on attaining and more on learning about the value their aspect, as well as to let others have their aspect and learning why it is important to others.

Page of Void (Inverse): As the Thief of Light allocates pieces of Light to themself, they end up gaining skill with Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they take/allocate and do not value Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they gain skill with and thus utilize Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Thief of Light does not undergo the Page of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Page class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Rogue (Passive): Allocate - Too Much Value towards Light

A Rogue of Light would redistribute, allow others to take, and/or give knowledge and insight to others in the name of balancing the meanings born of evaluation.

A Rogue of Light gives Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) away, either because they have a lot of it already, or are able to get it so easily they don't know what to do with so much of it. They often know the true value of Light, and are able to see where there is too much or too little of Light and redistribute it in a balanced way around themself. Their challenge is to not let Light run dry within themself, and to learn how to healthily balance Light in themself.

Knight of Void (Inverse): As the Rogue of Light values Light within themself, they end up utilizing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they value and thus give/allocate Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they utilize and are skilled with Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Rogue of Light does not undergo the Knight of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Knight class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

-

Enhancers/Destroyers

Sylph (Active): Enhance - Too Much Reliance on Light

A Sylph of Light is a pure source of insight and the meaning behind it, and driven by knowledge and evaluation, attempt to restore/purify the meaning behind others insights.

A Sylph of Light starts off relying on themself for Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), attempting to heal, restore, and enhance Light in others. They are a pure source of Light for others, and though this can cause frustration and irritation in themself and others, they can see ways for Light to help and heal the struggling of others. Their challenge is to learn how to listen to the needs of others instead of assuming they know best, and to balance themself by learning that it's okay to rely on others for Light sometimes.

Bard of Void (Inverse): As the Sylph of Light enhances Light from their love of it, they end up fearing control of Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they enhance and rely on Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they fear control of and thus destroy Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Sylph of Light does not undergo the Bard of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Bard class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Maid (Passive) - Too Little Reliance on Light

A Maid of Light relies on anyone or anything but themself to tell them knowledge and information as well as what it means, before learning how to rely on themself, restoring and purifying their knowledge and what it means for themself through precise evaluation and insight.

A Maid of Light starts off pushed around by others' view of Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning), but eventually allow Light to heal, restore, and enhance themself, making them into an entirely new person and purifying their aspect to themself. They start out relying on others for Light or being told by others how to interact with Light. Their challenge is to listen to themself instead of others, and to not let others opinions dilute their aspect as they restore it for themself and allow it to make them into a new person.

Prince of Void (Inverse): As the Maid of Light attempts to gain reliance on Light from their previous lack of it, they end up destroying Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they destroy and thus cannot control Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities), they gain reliance on and thus enhance Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Maid of Light does not undergo the Prince of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Prince class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Prince (Active): Destroy - Too Little Control of Light

A Prince of Light is surrounded by knowledge and the evaluative demeanor they crave, but they can't control it or have no means of reaching it, so they lash out because of their own insight and meaning, to destroy the evaluated knowledge that others have, in the name of their own insight and meaning.

A Prince of Light destroys Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) with Light or in the name of Light, and as a result, often end up appearing as Void (Secrecy, Unknown, Potential, Possibilities) at first glance. Princes start off with disdain or hate for Light, likely because of its overwhelming presence in their lives, and because despite its abundance, they can never seem to grasp or control it for themself. Their challenge is to be able to recognize Light's presence in themself before they destroy themself beyond repair, and learn that they do not need to control or bend Light to their will.

Maid of Void (Inverse): As the Prince of Light destroys pieces of Light in themself and others, they end up gaining reliance on Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have an indirect relationship with Void; because they destroy and cannot control Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they gain reliance on and thus enhance Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Prince of Light does not undergo the Maid of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Maid class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

~

Bard (Passive): Destroy - Too Much Control of Light

A Bard of Light is surrounded by a lot of evaluated knowledge, but fears being controlled by it or fears the control such things have over them, and as such ignores the evaluated knowledge and allows it to deteriorate via keeping it unknown and letting it wonder into possibilities; only by embracing meaningful insight can they begin to destroy the secrecy that destroyed them.

A Bard of Light allows Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) to be destroyed via simply not reaching out for it, and ignoring its presence in their lives, leading to them appearing as Void (Secrecy, Unknown, Potential, Possibilities) at first glance. This is typically due to a fear of being controlled by Light; while they may see benefits to what it could offer them, they can also see all the downsides to it simply because of their fear of what could go wrong. Their challenge is to be able to embrace Light and not be ruled by its whims, learning to control the way it impacts themself without letting it be destroyed.

Sylph of Void (Inverse): As the Bard of Light fears control of Light within themself and others, they end up enhancing Void, whether on purpose or accidental. They have a direct relationship with Void; because they fear control of and destroy Light (that which is knowledge, evaluation, insight, and meaning), they enhance and rely on Void (that which is secrecy, unknown, potential, and possibilities). Because the inverse classpect is a ghost of the true classpect, the Bard of Light does not undergo the Sylph of Void's challenge; their relationship with the Sylph class and the Void aspect is purely surface level.

HAPPY 4/13! in celebration, i've created blinkies for ALL 168 CLASSPECT COMBINATIONS! obviously, this is far too many for one tumblr post so PLEASE CHECK THE NOTES as i will be posting them in batches per-aspect.

(f2u with or without credit AFTER reblogging this post!)

[BLINKIES MASTERPOST] [TOYHOUSE MIRROR] [KOFI]

[superxstarzz]

i did some math and as it turns out there's a total of 10296 combinations (which is like. a lot). you mentioned earlier that you'd probably just keep making the combos indefinitely until you finish... but that sounds like it'll take a while since there's just SO MANY. do you think you could make some sort of masterpost to keep track of all of the classpect combos? i just keep looking at them and there's so many and it's hard to keep track of all of them, so it'd be nice if there was some easier way to find all of them

oh!!! oh my thats!! that's a lot!! what have I gotten myself into!!! this is DEFINITELY going to take a while, honestly I might graduate hs before I finish :,) So yeah, a masterpost is a great idea!

two main issues though:

I. am so new to tumblr. I have no clue how to make an effective masterpost

the sheer amount of classpect combos and how frequently I add to that seems like way too much to track on a tumblr post!

So! I made something a little different: a masterdoc! it was the best thing I could come up with that's convenient and easy to update. It's basically a glorified checklist, but hey, it gets the job done!

Here's the link!!

[creative-classpect]

do u have a masterpost of your class analyses :0

For power stuff, yeah!

https://creative-classpect.tumblr.com/classpects

My old stuff is brief, so I can't gurantee quality on like at least 1/3rd of these

[relaxxattack]

followed back during mcyt days and when u became mainly homestuck i was like LETS GOO!!!(shout out to that one mcyt classpect masterpost u used to have, i loved it) as for discussion questions, what do you like/dislike most about hs^2? i havent read the epilogues/anything relating to them so i always like hearing what ppl that have actually read them have to say about them

OH MY GOD THE CLASSPECTING……. i still stand by ctom as knight of blood forever and ever i was literally always right about that

as for hs2 hmmmmm. it’s so strangely hit or miss because a lot of the plot points are very intentionally inflammatory, and yet a lot of the like… conceptual playground is actually extremely interesting when you really dig into it?

favorite parts: john’s derealization and divorce, the most recent extrapolation on candy jade and rose, the first two vriska helltier chapters

least favorites: epilogue davekat, transmasc roxy, everything gamzee related, the Original Yiffy Upd8, ultimate dirk

i’ve honestly been meaning to do an epilogues reread because i think i’ve gotten over the shock enough by now to really dig into the more interesting thematic stuff

Good morning! :) Do you have a classpect masterpost?

not currently, but i will be putting one up in the next few days or so; since i'll also then be starting up my aspect posts

[yourfaveisclasspected]

Requests are open!

Hello! This is my classpecting blog. Here's some basics for you to know:

Mod list: just mod tacky (he/it, @taciturnakaryocyte) for now!

Classpect icons here! (plain text: https://www.tumblr.com/taciturnakaryocyte/733493108311015424/classpect-icons-masterpost?source=share)

Aspect-only icons here! (plain text: https://www.tumblr.com/taciturnakaryocyte/734570858467721216/heres-the-aspect-logos-ripped-from-the?source=share)

Pinned post is subject to change- keep an eye on it, and make sure you're following the current rules!

This blog is focused on posting YOUR classpects. while we do take requests, if you already have something in mind for a character please send that instead! those requests are much easier to fulfill, and can be done quickly.

Anon stays on unless you misbehave. Being a little hater gets you blocked.

Gender-exclusive classes are B.S., and also trans rights! 🏳️‍⚧️

Please read the rules for asks & submissions under the cut!

Asks

Please do not make requests into the submission box! They will not be answered!

One classpect/lunar sway request per ask, please (but submit as many asks as you want)! The only exception is characters sharing a source media (or the same character for classpect and lunar sway).

We have the right to delete your request, but chances are we just haven't posted it yet. If your ask hasn't been posted, review the rules and resubmit!

Please include your person's name and what they're from.

If you don't submit a classpect, aspect, or aspect bounding, and unless you state otherwise, we'll assume you want a classpect. Additionally, if you would like me to provide reasoning for the classpect, feel free to include that!

Additional details in your ask like a specific picture, tags to use, or whether or not you'd like to be tagged are more than welcome!

If you have a different classpect in mind for a character that has already been posted, feel free to request them with that different classpect! Both posts will stay up.

If a classpect/lunar sway/aspect has already been given to a character, I will not come up with another one.

Submissions

Please do not submit requests into the submission box!

We have a very specific style of post-formatting on the blog. Do your best to adhere to it- if your submission is too different, we can't post it! Here's roughly how your post should look:

On the left is your subject, and on the right is their classpect, aspect, or lunar sway.

Ideally, your character should be a transparent image. You can make an image transparent using remove.bg! (plain text: https://www.remove.bg/)

Classpect posts are tagged with #homestuck, #classpect, #[class], #[aspect], #[classpect], #[name], and #[source media (if applicable)].

Aspect-bound posts are tagged with #homestuck, #aspectbound, #[aspect], #[aspect]bound, #[name], and #[source media (if applicable)].

Lunar sway posts are tagged with #homestuck, #lunar sway, #[either prospit or derse], #[name], and #[source media (if applicable)].

It’s familiar. The swoop of adrenaline in your digestion sac before a kill, or when you’re in danger. And every time you’re in danger, it seems, she’s beside you. Your voice of reason, your foil, the reason you push harder. The logos to your pathos. This is different. There is no danger, and the adrenaline is an underlying chemical hum, sharpening your senses and stippling your skin.

Somewhere inside her is her blood pusher, forcing teal sludge through unfurling veins and arteries, into every single clotted mass of cells, into the tips of her prongs and her strutnuggets and that big, smug thinkpan of hers. In that moment, you hate her with such clarity that it steals your breath. You can almost see it: Terezi from the inside out. The very makeup of her smallest parts. The convergence of blood and the culmination of all the sacrifice you have mustered up over the sweeps, a deeper pitch than you could ever muster for Eridan’s prissiness or Kanaya’s nagging or Tavros, bless his poor, pathetic heart. Then she sits up carefully, rights her glasses, and hoists herself up using her cane. "I know you,"

MM Classpecting: ZEN

I’ve been working on this for over a month, trying to figure out how Homestuck classpecting works (a lot of it is kind of fanon), but I tried my best by looking at a lot of people’s interpretation of the classes and aspects. Though, a big portion of my interpretation is based on the Homestuck Explained blog’s Classpect Masterpost and the Hiveswap Extended Quiz take on Aspects, though I won’t completely rely on the latter. 

I will be making a series of posts relating to this, where I will determine the classpect of MM characters.

I assume going into this post you already know what Homestuck or Mystic Messenger are. In each post, I will begin by going over the character info in general. Then the role of the character in the narrative of MM. In the end I will explain why their classpect (class + aspect) fits with their role in the narrative. I will provide links for the Homestuck Explained’s explanation on their classes, and I will discuss exactly how that applies to the character.

This post is extremely niche, and caters to the very small group of humans who both love MM and Homestuck lmao. This is just for fun and mostly for my own indulgence! If you have other ideas for their classpects, let me know! I love listening to different takes.

For this post, I will discuss Zen.

But first, some clarifications:

Role in Narrative: 

The narrative of MM is neatly divided into several routes. The relevancy of the characters is made clear by the route division. Yoosung, Jaehee and Zen’s routes are Casual Story because they are not as related to the main story, I.e. their relation to Rika, V and Saeran is weak. Jumin and 707 are Deep Story because they are closer to these characters and play a larger role in the conflict. 707 for obvious reasons, but Jumin actively participates in the main plot by constantly searching for V even in bad endings of Casual Story routes. He also coordinates the Mint Eye infiltration and his assets help greatly in the whole ordeal. Saeran, V and Rika are extremely relevant, being antagonists to this story. 

The narrative roles these characters have is the deciding factor for determining their classpect. I will still take character routes into account, along with the character arcs we see them go through. Deep Story, 707’s route, and the Secret Endings is what I count as the ‘main plot’, because the original Secret Endings seem to be the ‘true ending’ of the game.

Another Story is an alternate universe/story, a big ‘what if’, so It doesn’t count as the ‘main story’. The DLC is further away from consideration into this, except for some kind of recurring element that is ALSO present in the main story (ex. Showing 707’s isolation in Christmas DLC, doubling down on what we already see in his route).

The reason I am focusing so hard on the roles the characters have in the narrative is because that is what I think determined the classpects for the characters in Homestuck. The classpect seemed to fit with their role in the narrative.

Selfishness vs. Selflessness: 

This is my understanding of the active (-) and passive (+) class dichotomy. Active class characters do things to benefit themselves (Selfish), while passive class characters do things to benefit others (Selfless).

Okay, Now we will get into it fr.

ZEN:

Zen I struggled with immensely. His analysis gets long because of that.

Personality/General Info: Boasts his looks. Wants his acting and singing skills to be recognized. On the surface is flirty and compliments himself for his attractiveness constantly. Compares his looks to others. Loyal and caring to those he cares about. Inwardly, Zen has self-doubt and is afraid people only care about his looks. If his career is negatively affected he enters a depressive state. Can see the future in his dreams. Is emotional and wants a girlfriend really bad. Voiced how lonely he is.

Family was conservative. His mom lied to Zen about him being handsome, his brother supported him. Mother hated how he started to pursue music and acting in middle school, wanting him to become a doctor or lawyer. He eventually ran away from home and started working part-time. He had to do bad things to survive, including threatening people for money. Joins RFA due to Rika watching his performances. Connection to Rika is weak. Respects V. Butts heads with Jumin and doesn’t like how he overworks Jaehee. Gets along with Yoosung. Appreciates 707 but doesn’t get his humor. When faced with the prospect of losing his career in his route, he runs away from the RFA even though they encourage him to be confident. His character arc in his route is to confront his past. Of running away from his family, of hating Jumin due to how he resembles his brother. To move on.

Role in Narrative: Does confront Unknown directly in his route after seeing it in a dream. The main character of April Fool’s DLC cause it's his birthday. His dreams propels the plot forward at times, an example is in Jumin’s route where he sees Elizabeth the 3rd in Mint Eye, and it happens. This is a vital plot point in the route. Second to Jaehee, Zen has the weakest connection to Rika and V, thus his role in the main story is very small, remaining in the sidelines. The most significant thing he does in the Secret Endings is suggesting sending Rika away to Alaska for therapy after having a dream where the police speak to her and Yoosung.

Active or Passive: Passive. He does things for others, and we see this in the main story with the Rika Alaska example. He uses his visions to either warn (Elizabeth the 3rd escaping in Jumin’s route) or he interferes directly (in Zen’s route he has a vision that Unknown broke into Rika’s apartment, he goes there to save MC). His acting career he does for himself, but in the main story of MM his role is passive. 

Classpect - Bard of Breath: One who destroys Breath, or destroys through Breath for others.

So yeah, Bards have easy going, laid back and/or avoidant, cowardly personalities. They ghost their opposite Aspect until a dire crisis pushes them into their own. Their challenge is to not be ruled by the whims of their Aspect.

How this applies to Zen: He wants to be an actor on his own merits, no matter what. He believes he has to do it in his own way, without help from others. Hates Jumin’s opinions about him and attitude. Doesn’t like the mockery and skepticism he receives from Jumin at times for his smoking and drinking habits. Due to Jumin’s differing opinions on a lot of things, he tends to be volatile and aggressive towards him, becoming inflexible and never considering Jumin’s advice or help. Becomes disillusioned with his brother when he started to agree with their mother, causing him to run away to chase his dreams and beliefs. Did extreme things to survive, like stealing, all for a dream that could possibly not come true. He spends almost all of his time practicing and furthering his career, to a degree one could call it an obsession.

His Aspect is Breath. This is what The Extended Zodiac had to say on it:

“Those bound to the aspect of Breath are, above all, expansive. Flexible and driven, they leave an impact wherever they go. Like the breeze itself, they are able to sweep others up to carry along in their wake, but also like the breeze, they can be difficult to catch hold of or tie down. Although Breath-bound do make very good leaders, breath tends to be a very personal aspect. Often, heroism comes along as an offshoot of them pursuing their own personal stories. They lead by example, and will routinely be surprised that others look up to or feel inspired by them. They have a tendency to underestimate themselves, and not always out of poor self-esteem. They were just doing their own thing. At their best Breath-bound are motivated, adaptable, and forward thinking, but at their worst they can be volatile, avoidant, and gullible.”

Personally, I also think Breath has connections to direction, freedom, detachment and confidence.

How this applies to Zen: Abandoning his family and dropping out of high school to chase his dreams? Yeeeep he destroyed his bond with his family to pursue freedom, confidence, etc. Zen does leave an impact, aside from his looks. He inspires Jaehee and all of his fans just by following his dream. In Jaehee’s route, it's him that encourages her to chase after her own freedom and dreams. He even gives her direction by guiding her in her newfound freedom along with MC. He doesn’t actively do things all the time, sometimes he advocates for Jaehee whenever Jumin gave her too much work, and was there for her in her route when she needed it. In Jaehee’s route, he destroys her detachment (a facet of Breath Aspect) towards her situation and makes her acknowledge her needs and that she can leave.

Zen as an adult is far freer than when he was a child, you could say he is a semi-successful Bard of Breath, once afraid of letting go of the security of his family and the path chosen for him, and thus risking it all by leaving everything behind, the wind carrying him (like riding a motorcycle, the rush of wind as he drives off). He also struggles with direction in his route with his acting career, seeking advice from MC and Jumin.

The confidence Zen displays is a mask at first. Deep inside, he’s still insecure, underestimating himself. It's only in his route that he truly succeeds in his classpect. In his good ending, he chooses to make his relationship with MC public instead of keeping it secret, not caring about what the public think/wants from him. He overcomes his self-doubt about his career. He faces Jumin and overcomes his inflexibility and stubbornness, taking the opportunity he offered and not super-imposing his brother on him. He tries to reconnect with his family, recognizing how running away like that wasn’t the greatest idea.

Breath-bound pursue their own personal stories. This is why in the main story he does his own thing the majority of the time, still giving attention to his acting career. He does interfere where needed and then ollies out.

His hobby of riding a motorcycle is related to both his attraction to freedom and wind, but also to his self-destructive tendencies. He smokes cigarettes, his fridge is filled with basically nothing but beer, and he used to ride his motorcycle every weekend. This results in him getting in an accident, destroying his own freedom by getting injured. He has fast healing though, which is kind of similar to Gamzee’s durability, the only canon Bard we see in Homestuck. He must not let Breath (ex. the rush he feels when he rides his motorcycle) control him, as the challenge of a Bard is being controlled by their Aspect. His newfound freedom has led him to do very illegal things in order to survive.

The opposite aspect of Breath is Blood. Blood is all about connections and bonds to people. Zen backs away from Blood by leaving his family and past behind, chasing after Breath (freedom, detachment, confidence, direction).

Breath is also about detachment. As a Bard of Breath, he destroys his Aspect within others and himself. He destroys his own detachment in order to be with others. An example of him doing this is when he joins the RFA, forgoing his destructive motorcycle hobby. He destroys his detachment and opens himself to more opportunities, thus giving himself more freedom and connecting himself to others. He is embracing his Aspect as well by doing this, arguably another facet of being a Bard. He also brings levity to the chatroom when he’s there, being the laid-back character.

In the main story of MM he doesn’t have a character arc. At all. His role is also minimal, his visions providing some help in the background. This is basically what a Bard is, affecting stuff behind the scenes but not being a significant character in the main plot. Like look at Yoosung for example, even outside of his route he does somewhat change. But Zen basically doesn't in any route besides his own. The only thing of note is that he grows slightly as an actor, but that's it. In the Secret Endings he serves his role in the main plot (Rika Alaska Thing) and… that's all. They must learn to embrace their Aspect even as they destroy it. He destroys Rika’s freedom by doing this, but at the same time, he is giving her freedom? I'm not sure if I'm being frank.
