#Sry for assigning Chuck Karkat kin

[foxskip]

I'm interested in the wrestlers

OH BOY :D

I have a *few* more but for now I'll just do Best Friends/Gentleman's Club.

Additionally, my thoughts/analysis are largely derived from the Homestuck text/wiki, the Hiveswap Extended Zodiac aspect descriptions, and the Class analysis/decriptions found here.

Chuck Taylor = Knight of Blood

Yes I am giving Chuck Karkat's classpect, but when you think about it, Chuck iiiis kind of a Karkat, even though he doesn't have mutant blood. Regarding the Blood part, Chuck is often defined by his bonds to other wrestlers, whether F.I.S.T., The Gentleman's Club, or Best Friends. Being very ambitious, he often places himself as the leader of his groups or at the very least defines himself as "The Brains" (also being the one basically in charge of mentoring Yuta), but whether he's actually that successful at said role is a bit debatable. Regardless, he is often a driving force in the lives of his friends whether or not he's making wise choices. And as a Knight he both uses these bonds to move forward and feels a great need to help out his friends, even to his detriment (see: WTL 2018 "I just wanted your mom to be proud of us" and agreeing to a stipulation where he would be forced into servitude to Miro in justice of Trent). Wow I wonder what other character who also lashes out at people and is deeply insecure ALSO obsesses over being able to help his friends

Trent? Beretta = Heir of Heart

I would say Greg is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. He is very straightforward and doesn't care for overdramatic bullshit when he's going into or preparing for a match, he's just going to do what he does and hopefully do good at it, like Heirs are kinda known to. He's said before he prefers singles matches, which goes with the individualistic nature the Extended Zodiac describes for Heart, but his emotional closeness to his friends often makes him much more of team player. Speaking of, although he doesn't care abt other people's dramatic bullshit, he's very protective of his friends (& mom) and is keyed into their emotional wellbeing even if he doesn't entirely understand a situation (standing with Chuck in WTL, or standing up for Chuck & OC when Yuta decided to leave). Sue being such a big part of him also definitely fits the motif of being an Heir of Heart.

Orange Cassidy = Bard(??) of Breath

I feel like the Breath aspect is obvious enough. In fact, I think the Extended Zodiac description for Breath can be applied to him pretty well: "Flexible and driven, they leave an impact wherever they go. ... They have a tendency to underestimate themselves, and not always out of poor self-esteem. They were just doing their own thing." OC is very much a go with the flow guy, while also using his quickness and his opponents' reactions toward him to his advantage. I'm hesitant to give him Bard as a class (maybe in part b/c I don't see him wearing a cod piece but I suppose god tier outfits are customizable anyway) but the passive way he allows his disposition to fuck w/ opponents does kinda fit.

Kris Statlander = Witch of Space

Another canon classpect assignment but wow wouldn't you know it Kris is kind of a Jade too (imo). Space definitely fits with Kris's alien gimmick, but she's also someone who can have her head in the clouds and does things her way to reach her goals even if others don't understand. As a Witch of Space, Kris is both very powerful and very social, quick to form bonds and use her strengths to help as much as she can.

Drew Gulak = Mage of Mind

THE LEGAL EAGLE IS A MIND PLAYER YES. Drew likes to insert logic & reasoning into everything and definitely has his own idea of what is Right with some interesting methods on how to get there (see his campaigns). He is very strategically minded, also being a technical wrestler, but more so for his own goals--which often have some kind of greater purpose--and in the ring than as a team strategist if that makes sense (hence Mage).

Swamp Monster = Muse of Life

Swampy is a very passive social creature literally made of plants. He cares deeply about those around him to the point of self-sacrifice, traits associated with both the Muse class and Life aspect. Remember what he did for OC? :'''(((( Also, despite being bullied by Chuck I think Swampy inspires a lot of morale & happiness for the GC.

BONUS - I haven't figured out a class yet but Lil' Kazu is definitely a Light player. He strategically plays the long game in his matches, he's the Rainmaker (fortune is highly associated w/ Light), and his post-excursion career in njpw started with him trying and eventually taking the spotlight from Tana.

I also originally had Wheeler Yuta too, but I don't really agree with what I decided, especially w/ the recent storyline.
