Knight of Life - sketch by Xantouke

Knight of Life - sketch

Xantouke

Due to shenanigans on Twitter, this sketch was a result. Heh.

A long while back, I'd done one of those quiz things to figure out your Homestuck Class and Aspect, and I got a Page of Space. But after discussing it with a couple close friends, I settled on my being a Knight of Life. I think it's more fitting. (But I still raise the question of how a knight class Life player can even weaponise the Life aspect. I don't think we know enough about the Life aspect, anyway, though, so...)

I want to finish this up at some point. And I like resdesigning the class outfits. Especially the Knight class. This one was based on that soft fabric knight armour hoodie that was going around Tumblr for ages.

With the life (heh) breathed into the Homestuck fandom, I've even debating taking on Homestuck class/aspect commissions like this. (Would anybody be interested in that?)

    A friend of mine and myself have theorized that the weaponisation of Life can be either through creating cancerous growths, or bringing back the dead. I'm sure there are plenty of other creative ways, which is why Homestuck's aspects are so interesting.

    I've thought about this because after discussion, we arrived at Heir of Life for me.

      Hm! That's an idea. I always got the impression that the Life Aspect dealt with the essence of life. Like, we know Jane can bring back a player once, when they've died or been killed. That that's only one aspect of the Life Aspect that we've really been shown.

      I've heard people say that Life players can control plants and such, but that doesn't really seem to fit, imho. So maybe removing life? Or regeneration of wounds?

    I'm a Knight of Space!
    On the topic of weaponizing the Life aspect, there are a few ways, depending on your Class, such as Thief, Prince, or Bard that I think would be pretty effective. We haven't really seen Meenah use her Thief of Life powers, but I theorize it'd be similar to Vriska's Thief of Light powers, where she actually steals from someone's life and adds it to her own.
