Homestuck and the 12 Archetypes
I recently came across something called the Twelve Archetypes. Apparently it’s a concept by psychologist Carol S. Pearson, inspired by the Jungian notions of personality types and archetypes, as well as Joseph Campbell’s theory of a monomyth (aka The Hero’s Journey).
And, well… Wow. Twelve hero archetypes. That is absolutely the Homestuck class system. While not perfect, they translate really well, too!
Witch = Magician
Heir = Everyman / Orphan
Mage = Explorer / Seeker
Seer = Sage
Prince = Ruler
Bard = Jester
Maid = Creator
Sylph = Caregiver
Thief = Revolutionary / Rebel / Destroyer
Rogue = Lover
Knight = Hero / Warrior
Page = Innocent
Apparently there’s a whole formal, official, scientific-based personality test regarding the Twelve Archetypes called the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI). (Free version of the test here.)

How am I just now learning of this? There's no way Hussie could have NOT based the SBURB class system on this concept. I don't even.

“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.”

“Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
—Joseph Campbell
“We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.”
— Joseph Campbell
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.
Plato
There are circumstances that can confront anyone with the decision of hero or wimp...... whoever has the choice is better off than the one who is faced with the choice.

At one point in my life, I suffered from a severe form of cancer that caused me great physical pain and a sense of fear of mortality. However, when I learnt that my prognosis was terminal, I decided to face my fears head on and embrace the pain as a reminder to keep living. It's worth noting that I tend to avoid commitments that could affect my well-being. The improbable is always on the edge of the probable and what people prognosticate is ultimately not fixed.
My middle name is pain, but my first name is hunger for life.

Some people are made for pain, because others would never be able to bear it.
Whether this is true or imagined is up to you to decide.
- Joseph Campbell, Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine. (this is the quote engraved in Wonder Woman’s sword of Athena)
People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
