Witch of Blood: One who Manipulates with Blood or Manipulates Blood

Witches are enthusiastic, confident and optimistic rebels. They break and change the physical and metaphysical "Rules" of their Aspect. Their challenge is to use their rule breaking powers in a morally conscious way

A Witch of Blood would rebel or reject against the idea of everyone having at least one thing that ties them down to something, that a person could have a connection that couldn't be tampered with or changed in some way. Everything, even the strongest of connections can disconnect or change or be not as they were. Objects eventually break down, People leave, memories fade. Nothing in this world is inherently stable or permanent. They make and break promises with ease or as they see fit to.

But when they believe a promise, connection or obligation is worthy, nothing can prevent them from fulfilling that chosen bond. But also nothing can prevent them from leaving any commitment they feel is no longer worth the effort to keep it connected. Their absolute control over their own inflexible nature comes from how seriously they take things like important promises and oaths. As hard as they hold onto important things, they let go of things they think are unimportant just as easily. In their mind, even if nothing is born permanent, it can be made permanent through their own efforts. When push comes to shove for them, only the most strong and stable attachments will remain.

Like forging Iron from Stone, burning away impurities and leaving nothing but the pure steel. The Iron of their Blood only exists because of their choice to put that stone in the fire sort of thing. But even through all of this they believe nothing will ever remain in a permanent stasis, they reject the fixed permanent state of the material world, changing it to suit their own needs and desires. As stable and committed they are to their own attachments, they are mutable as well, nuanced in the idea that things can change without separating from each other. Funnily enough, the person that pops into my head when I think "Witch of Blood" is The Queen from Brave, Merida's mother.

Seer of Blood: One who Invites Knowledge of Blood or one who Invites Knowledge through Blood

Seers are shown knowledge of their Aspect through its symbolic manifestations, like visions, persons, or magical objects. Their challenge is to be able to translate their insight and knowledge into action and decision.

A Seer of Blood will struggle with the idea of commitment, connection, obligation and loyalty. Who should they connect to? Commit to? Which bonds, loyalties and obligations should they stay true to? They would struggle with choosing the right group or party to align themselves with, who to give their loyalty to. They would also struggle to make friends and lovers in the same way. A Seer of Blood sees all the possible connections they have to others, and all the possible ways they could connect and be compassionate towards them. They would be able to see what obligates connected people to stay with each other and group together.

A Seer of Blood like Kankri was able to see the connections between all the trolls in the hemocaste and the larger connections that grouped trolls together in the social fabric of his society. But he picked the wrong thing to focus on, a society that no longer even exists in his world, instead of focusing on the bonds between himself and the other players. It is likely Kankri could see and understand all the social and relationship bonds of his social group, if he only chose to look at it.

Seers of Blood could also see what ties you down, or holds you back, what thing or person holds you back from your freedom. They might even be able to see situations where more Blood was needed, more stability or compassion or commitment to something in order for it to happen. A Seer of Blood could also thing the things that stabilize you, that you depend on, and what you are attached to. Seers of Blood might help their group make decisions together as a whole and act together to work towards a common goal. A Seer of Blood likely has no special kind of sight, being able to see tangible things like flesh, rings and metal like everybody else, but they could see literal red strings of fate connecting everyone together.

Thief of Blood: One who Steals with Blood or Steals Blood

Thieves have good intentions, weak morals and are very egocentric. They have natural confidence with their Aspect, but hide insecurities and hate being seen as weak. Their challenge is to learn to let others have their Aspect as well.

A Thief of Blood is very confident in their ability to uphold their commitments and obligations. They feel perfectly content to be connected to their attachments and are very unwilling to let them go. They are never too far away from something they feel a strong connection to, be it a person, place or thing. They pride themselves in their ability to be unmovable, unshakeable to the core, to be dependable and stable to any who need a rock solid foundation and ready for anything thrown their way. They willingly take on not only their own obligations, but the obligations of others, stealing their responsibilities from them in order to fulfill them themselves in a desire to be forever dependable and helpful, or perhaps at least seem that way.

They might take on the passions of other people as well, taking upon themselves a person's personal goal or thing to be done or fulfilled, leaving that person disconnected from the original idea. They can also steal using Blood, by getting those they are connected with to do a bit of their dirty work when needed. Mostly likely they take advantage of the system of favors, they do a favor for you first and then expect a favor in return, forcibly taking a connection from you, a deal you can't break. Their actions can leave other people disoriented, detached from reality and separated from those they care about as the Thief of Blood could put grand schemes into motion, supreme goals they are absolutely committed to and infinitely passionate about fulfilling. All while seemingly leaving people with their own freedom and free will while using chains to bind them.

These underhand tactics of only trying to seem dependable or trustable or someone you can make a deal with are a more evil Thief of Blood's intention, a good Thief of Blood would simply genuinely want to be dependable for no underhanded reasons other than they like being depended on and feeling important that way. They could steal from you using promises or deals, by getting something from you and then not fulfilling their end of the bargain, or by doing it in a way that also benefits them. A noticeable power of a Thief of Blood as Flesh would be to literally kick someone out of their body, leaving their ghost floating aimlessly while they take over control of the stolen body. And with that I leave you with the thought of Thief of Blood Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls.

Sylph of Blood: One who Invites Creation of Blood or one who Invites Creation through Blood

Sylphs will calmly, analytically and happily give their opinion all about their Aspect. They meddle, healing or fixing any lack of it they notice. Their challenge is act upon their opinions instead of waiting by the sidelines.

A Sylph of Blood can definitely be a serious almost passionate type. They are committed to all the projects that they undertake and when they set out to help someone out they don't stop until the problem or thing is fixed for sure. They can be somewhat annoying in this kind of meddlesome tendency because they will undoubtedly come back again and again to adjust something or move a thing there until they are sure that they are done. They are involved or involve themselves in the deep complicated commitments or relationships people have with other people, always wanting to help them out or bring them together again, make them stronger.

They are good at making promises or getting people to promise them certain things. Sylphs of Blood will hold you to your bargain should you choose to make it, and breaking it is about as wise as breaking a deal with the devil. They are definitely the person that keeps their friend group grounded and stable and together. Should friends try to drift away, they are the people to plan events or parties or group therapy sessions to bring them back together again. They take their bonds and commitments to people and things very seriously. They can be a center of stable unity in a place of chaos, almost never losing their cool unless they are dealing with something they are very passionate about!
