And Ehks is Heir of Mind, Shaadaris is a Rogue of Rage.
What does this mean, anyway?
Basically in homestuck every player has a mythological role (their classpect) which broadly governs/is determined by that player's influence on reality.
It consists of a class (Knight, Mage etc) and an aspect (Void, Doom etc).
The aspects govern a certain aspect of reality and have generally pretty broad associations. There is very literal aspects (time and space) to those which deal with more abstract concepts (such as light which governs things like fortune, luck and information).
The player's class determines how they use the aspect. Classes are best described through simple verbs (eg. "one who creates through"). Classes are loosely sorted into active and passive pairs - think of it as the difference between" one who destroys through" and "one who invites destruction through".
In homestuck itself, the player's classpect determines literal abilities they have as well. In the context we use it, it could be thought of more like a glorified personality test for nerds (not unlike a zodiac sign but based on an actual analysis of a person's personality)
