So, what is Classpecting? Classpecting is basically a personality system from the webcomic called Homestuck and it, in the comic, is a system granted to players of a game called SBURB / SGRUB and it grants the player a set of magical powers depending on what their classpect is. There is a total of fourteen (14) original classes and twelve (12) aspects in Homestuck, but in the clashpecting world there's a lot more.
In the world of Clashpecting, which means to have more than one classpect, there's a total of ninety-one (91) classes and sixty-six (66) aspects, making a combined total of one-hundred-five (105) classes and seventy-eight (78) aspects. There's way too many different combinations of these classes and aspects, with each clas(s/h)pect having at least one class and one aspect (1:1) and at most two classes and two aspect (2:2). You can also have one class and two aspects (1:2) or two classes and one aspect (2:1).
With that basic explanation of what classpecting is, we can move onto the more delicate parts of classpecting.
The original fourteen (14) classes were divided into pairs of two (2), and groups of four (4), based on what their overall role that they played in the game of SBURB/SGRUB was, and what the player could do with the powers granted by their class(es). For the original classes, there were seven (7) pairings, and there was four (4) groups. When the clash classes are brought into question, both of those numbers jump. There is a total of twenty-eight (28) pairings (including the original seven (7)), and an unknown amount of groups currently.
Depending on the specific Classpector, the pairings can go by any number of names, but for the most part they are commonly referred to by one or two different names. In Homestuck, the original seven (7) pairings are known as the '''Rulers''' (aka Masters), '''Warriors''' (aka Givers), '''Liberators''' (aka Stealers or Takers), '''Reformers''' (aka Innovators or Magicians), '''Oracles''' (aka Prophets or Visionaries), '''Medics''' (aka Creators or Healers), and '''Destroyers'''. There are two (2) classes per pairing in original Homestuck, but that number doesn't stay when you add the clash classes. Below are listed all of the pairings, and the classes that are included in that pairing.
'''Rulers''': The Lord ; The Muse ; Lord-Muse '''Warriors''': The Page ; The Knight ; Knight-Page '''Liberators''': The Thief ; The Rogue ; Rogue-Thief '''Reformers''': The Witch ; The Heir ; Heir-Witch '''Oracles''': The Seer ; The Mage ; Mage-Seer '''Medics''': The Sylph ; The Maid ; Maid-Sylph '''Destroyers''': The Prince ; The Bard ; Bard-Prince '''Ameliorators''' (Reformer x Oracle): Heir-Mage ; Heir-Seer ; Mage-Witch ; Seer-Witch '''Anarchists''' (Reformer x Destroyer): Bard-Heir ; Bard-Witch ; Heir-Prince ; Prince-Witch '''Crusaders''' (Reformer x Warrior): Heir-Knight ; Heir-Page ; Knight-Witch ; Page-Witch '''Czars''' (Liberator x Ruler): Lord-Rogue ; Lord-Thief ; Muse-Rogue ; Muse-Thief '''Divinators''' (Oracle x Ruler): Lord-Mage ; Lord-Seer ; Mage-Muse ; Muse-Seer '''Doomsayers''' (Oracle x Destroyer): Bard-Mage ; Bard-Seer ; Mage-Prince ; Prince-Seer '''Earls''' (Destroyer x Warrior): Bard-Page ; Bard-Knight ; Knight-Prince ; Page-Prince '''Egalitarians''' (Medic x Liberator): Maid-Rogue ; Maid-Thief ; Rogue-Sylph ; Sylph-Thief '''Emancipators''' (Reformer x Liberator): Heir-Rogue ; Heir-Thief ; Rogue-Witch ; Thief-Witch '''Jehannes''' (Oracle x Warrior): Knight-Mage ; Knight-Seer ; Mage-Page ; Page-Seer '''Lieutenants''' (Warrior x Ruler): Knight-Lord ; Knight-Muse ; Lord-Page ; Muse-Page '''Monarchs''' (Ruler x Reformer): Heir-Lord ; Heir-Muse ; Lord-Witch ; Muse-Witch '''Paladins''' (Medic x Warrior): Knight-Page ; Knight-Sylph ; Maid-Page ; Page-Sylph '''Pillagers''' (Destroyer x Liberator): Bard-Rogue ; Bard-Thief ; Prince-Rogue ; Prince-Thief '''Shamans''' (Reformer x Medic): Heir-Maid ; Heir-Sylph ; Maid-Witch ; Maid-Sylph '''Soothsayers''' (Oracle x Medic): Mage-Maid ; Mage-Sylph ; Maid-Seer ; Seer-Sylph '''Terminators''' (Destroyer x Medic): Bard-Maid ; Bard-Sylph ; Maid-Prince ; Prince-Sylph '''Tyrants''' (Destroyer x Ruler): Bard-Lord ; Bard-Muse ; Lord-Prince ; Muse-Prince '''Utilitarians''' (Medic x Ruler): Lord-Maid ; Lord-Sylph ; Maid-Muse ; Muse-Sylph '''Vaticinators''' (Oracle x Liberator): Mage-Rogue ; Mage-Thief ; Seer-Rogue ; Seer-Thief '''Vigilantes''' (Liberator x Warrior): Knight-Rogue ; Knight-Thief ; Page-Rogue ; Page-Thief
In original Homestuck, there are four groups, which each consist of four separate classes with the exception of one with only has two classes in it. The original four (4) groups are as follows: Those that '''Rule''', Those that '''Yeild''', Those that '''Move''', and Those that '''Change'''. The groups that come with the clash classes have not been determined yet, but will be added to this page as soon as they are. Below are listed all of the groups, and the classes that are included in that pairing.
'''Ones who can RULE their aspect(s)''': The Lord ; The Muse ; Lord-Muse '''Ones who can YEILD their aspect(s)''': The Bard ; The Maid ; The Prince ; The Sylph ; Bard-Maid ; Bard-Prince ; Bard-Sylph ; Maid-Prince ; Maid-Sylph ; Prince-Sylph '''Ones who can MOVE their aspect(s)''': The Knight ; The Page ; The Rogue ; The Thief ; Knight-Page ; Knight-Rogue ; Knight-Thief ; Page-Rogue ; Page-Thief ; Rogue-Thief '''Ones who can CHANGE their aspect(s)''': The Heir ; The Mage ; The Seer ; The Witch ; Heir-Mage ; Heir-Seer ; Heir-Witch ; Mage-Seer ; Mage-Witch ; Seer-Witch
There are twelve (12) original aspects, and sixty-six (66) clash aspects to make a combined total of seventy-eight (78) aspects.
As of currently, Ultra Clashpects hasn't worked out a proper guide to grouping the aspects, so this section will have to remain not filled out until further notice. However, this section will be filled out as soon as UC figures out the grouping. Thank you for being patient!
In Homestuck, each of the classes fall under the title of either '''Active''' or '''Passive'''. This determines whether a class is more self-centred and self-serving, or whether it's more meant to benefit a larger group of people and anybody other than the player themself. '''Active (-)''' classes are self serving, and '''Passive (+)''' classes are group-oriented. All of the classes fall on a scale of '''Active''' to '''Passive''', meaning that some are more active, some are more passive, and some are both and fall somewhere around the middle of the scale.
Of the original fourteen (14) classpects, none have a confirmed spot on the Active-Passive scale, but there have been some hints here and there, and when examining all of the classes and their powers, a rough estimate of the scale can be created. The most active and most passive classes are the Master classes: the Lord and the Muse. Every other class falls somewhere on the scale between them. The following information is how Ultra Clashpects has defined the classes and their take on the Active-Passive scale, and may not align with what other classpectors have said or ruled as the "correct" version of the scale. Do remember that the scale and the entirety of Classpecting as a whole is a lot of speculation and fan interpretations of the titles and thus will vary from person to person.
'''Active (-) Classes:''' The Knight ; The Lord ; The Mage ; The Maid ; The Prince ; The Thief ; The Witch '''Passive (+) Classes:''' The Bard ; The Heir ; The Muse ; The Page ; The Rogue ; The Seer ; The Sylph In order from '''Most Active (1)''' to '''Most Passive (14)''', the list goes as such: [Most Active] (1) The Lord ; (2) The Witch ; (3) The Maid ; (4) The Prince ; (5) The Knight ; (6) The Thief ; (7) The Mage ; [Middle] ; (8) The Heir ; (9) The Rogue ; (10) The Page ; (11) The Sylph ; (12) The Seer ; (13) The Bard ; (14) The Muse [Most Passive]
Because each of the original classes are classified as either Passive or Active, that means that all of the clash classes also have to fit on the scale somewhere. This is a little bit harder to understand though, because there are three (3) possible Active-Passive pairings when it comes to the clash classes: Active-Active pairs, Passive-Passive pairs, and Active-Passive pairs. There is a total of twenty-one (21) Active-Active pairings, twenty-one (21) Passive-Passive pairings, and fourty-nine (49) Active-Passive pairings.

There have been a number of different Joke Classes and Aspects that have been talked about by the creators of Homestuck. Of course, we Homestuck fans have taken these jokes and ran with them, giving them real designs and definitions.
This section is to be filled out at a later date. Thank you for being patient!
