Class: Host
Name: Host
Appearance:
Meaning: "One who accommodates Aspect, one who acts on behalf of aspect"
Role: The roll of a host is to accommodate their aspect, so either that anything involving their aspect will happen naturally or anything that would inhibit a Host's aspect being removed or in turn inhibited itself.
What personality gets this class: Those who are very accommodating, those who go with the flow of things, or those who are very particular in how they do things will find themselves as a host in very rare cases, though being given the Host class is a rare event and usually requires a certain kind of person to obtain it.
Main Power Type: Their powers are usually very unclear, or none existent in some cases. It all depends on what their aspect is.
If one was a Host of Void, they would either do nothing to either hinder or help the game session, ensuring that the events happened exactly as they should. Another way a Host of Void would work is the host either revealing secrets or hiding them. a Third option would be involve actions taken with the Horror terrors in paradox space, though how this would be done depends on what the character needs to do to ensure things happen as they should.
A Host of Time would ensure things happened at just the time they should, and would prevent things from doing otherwise. Another way thy could work is that the ensure either paradox's occur or do not occur.
A Host of Doom would ensure Doom either occurred or did not occur, or would ensure the right kind of doom happened instead of a different kind of doom.
Story Role: The person that will either be the cause of everyone's problems, or someone who will be the source of everyone's salvation. These people can end up seemingly like bard players, however everything they do is not done for others but for their own idea of what should or shouldn't happen.
Players with strict rules over what is right or wrong, Players selfishly fighting for them selves, or players whose minds are so focused on one goal it becomes self destructive. These are the player dropped into this class, and who will find themselves as hosts.
Challenge: A good host must learn that, despite the jobs common perception, they don't have to be a Doormat for their guest. That they can't please all of their guests at once, and have to learn to go with the flow.
Other: Any time a first guardian like Doc scratch would enter the game, they will always be a Host.

Re: Class: Host
Classes do not exist to help the game, they exist to accent who got the class. Gamzee as a bard fucked up his session, Cronus as a bard made Lord English weaker to save his session.
The class shouldn't be color specific. The class should have no tie to lord english.
One who accommodates their aspect is a really cool meaning though.

Re: Class: Host
ah, okay then. What would you suggest I do for it? Cause I always do this and I'm guessing we have different interpretations on the roles of classes here.

Re: Class: Host
Its very simple. Eridan was someone who destroyed hope before he ever god tiered. He also used his beliefs to destroy others. A class needs to be able to describe a person in this way. Classes make sense.
And besides that.
Imagine going into a rpg and if you pick one of the classes you always get the bad end, that doesn't make sense from a gameplay perspective, it takes choice away from the player. That is what you want this class to do.

Re: Class: Host
hmm, I understand. I guess my want to make the class fit a Doc Scratch went to far. So get rid of that secondary purpose, alright.
As for making it fit or accent a person....idk. Maybe make it so it's a person who always want everything to stay it's natural course? kind alike a Taoist?

Re: Class: Host
I'd honestly go with something along the lines of:
Learn that being a good host doesn't mean being a doormat, you can't satisfy everyone, and that you gotta go with the flow.

Re: Class: Host
sweet. Sucks that it didn't come out as good as I wanted it to, but if it's an acceptable class I guess I'll take it
