The Signs As Fictional Classes

Aries:Zealot. At best, a righteous pursuer of justice and honour, at worst, a paranoid and ruthless berserker. Donned in blessed armour and sacred ornaments; the anathema of the Damned, and forces of Evil. Holy Hymns, Benedictions, and Sacraments abound, and scour the battlefield.

Taurus:Veteran. The immovable object. The last standing of every siege, of every fray. Persistent and hulking, able to brush off the most grievous wounds as mere grazes. Very few know from where they draw their strength, given the horrors they've witnessed, and the horrors they've enacted.

Gemini:Mercurial. An oddity of the guild halls, none quite know what they do, not even themselves. Seemingly effective in all situations and prone to lucky, unexpected victories. Friendly, curious, gentle, and seemingly unflappable, they round out any group, smoothing tension (and insufficiencies) as they go.

Cancer:Mechanist. What better place than a battlefield to test an experimental mage-cannon, of course it's going to work this time! Able to make something out of nothing, lovers of ruins and machinations. Free time often spent artificing, improving, or tinkering. Don't let them borrow anything precious to you. Entertaining to say the least, and generous to a fault.

Leo:Harlequin. Consistently underestimated, these dancing, joking acrobats carry daggers behind their jests. Keepers of the old Magicks of shanties and folk-ballads, victims find themselves poisoned by a word spoken, a note played, and a doubt sewn. One of the most ancient, and secretive lines of profession.

Virgo:Vestal. Composed, serene, and elegant. Masters of Magick, sealing, and preserving. Defensive masters of magical dueling, able to unweave the most stygian hexes and jinxes, often as they're being cast. Glorious, potent invocations of healing, and enough amulets, talismans, and runes to put most temples out of the market.

Libra:Contractor. Balancing, transforming, unrivaled in the Magick and understanding of change. Be it exchanges of loyalty, wealth, power, or vitality, these scholars are transmuters extraordinaire. Master summoners, often with a complex web of debts and favours to the most tenebrous Voids, radiant Divines, and shady businessmen.

Scorpio:Heretic. Masters of the esoteric, the occult, and the stygian. Vile evocations and rituals making use of the most violent Ungods. Chaotic? Certainly. Evil? Not always, these magisters of the profane understand the vast void of grey morality, and are as philosophical as they are powerful. Prone to surprising acts of heroism, and the first to throw themselves in harm's way to protect their own.

Sagittarius:Druid. Part naturalist, part adviser, part lorekeeper, part Ancient. Invokers of Magicks older than even the Harlequin, and of a source much more Adamant than Humanity. Oral words of Power spoken softly, yet with all the weight of the World behind them. Their ambitions lie beyond the mortal world, and as such they do not like to lead, only advise, and if necessary, judge.

Capricorn:Lord. A micromanager, precise, optimal, and efficient. Brings the best, and oftimes worst, out of those who serve under them. Rallying cries, shouts, and barked orders lend ground and coordinate in the heat of battle. Natural leaders, and often brutally straight to the point, what they lack in subtlety they more than make up for in raw strength.

Aquarius:Artisan. Creative, imaginative, with seemingly endless practical skills. An Artisan has their hand in everything from blacksmithing, to runework, to sculpting, to homunculus manufactory, and they put their soul into it all. Jacks-of-all-trades, and passable in combat, it is rare to find a guild or clan without its fair share or Artisans.

Pisces:Prophet. Readers, weavers, and sometimes defilers of the grand tapestry of Fate. Proclamations, Condemnations, and Prophecies of ill or good fortune are just a part of the arsenal of the Prophets. Direct, and mysterious connections to the Divines, the Ancients, and the Ungods, if they do not like an outcome they forsee, they often do a little doctoring.
