This has been bugging me for a while: What would Equius's GT powers have involved? What would it mean to "become" Void?

The definition of an Heir’s role is not to ‘become’ his aspect! :)

One who invites change in X, or invites change through X.

As an Heir of Breath, John’s role is to invite change of Direction/Quest in others. At the same time, as someone who invites change in/through Breath, he is quite susceptible to being invited to change in Breath himself, by others or by the whims of Breath itself. Effectively, this combines to make him a nexus via which Breath changes.

(I’m driving out on a business trip tomorrow night, spending Monday and Tuesday out of town; I’ll have my laptop and a hotel room Monday afternoon, with plenty of time to hammer out the Breath/Blood post explaining this in detail. After flipping out over the 11/11 update, of course.)

The Void aspect governs nothingness/lack/darkness, misinformation, mystery, obfuscation, misfortune, destruction, and submission. We especially observe the latter in Equius, as he invites changes in submission in others:

CT: D –> I forbid this
CT: D –> You will take your position on the b100 team with me
CT: D –> I am telling you not to
CT: D –> And you will be on my team
CT: D –> That’s final
CT: D –> You will do as I say
CT: D –> You will stop
TC: WhOaAaA, i WiLl?
TC: hOw Do YoU kNoW tHaT?
CT: D –> No, you don’t understand
CT: D –> It’s not a predi%ion, it’s an order
CT: D –> I command you to stop

And is invited to changes in submission himself:

CT: D –> You will be the leader of me, and I will lead all else
CT: D –> You would in effect be the secret leader
AA: yeah sure
AA: thats pretty much h0w it is anyway
CT: D –> Yes, that’s the spirit
CT: D –> You take to authority well for one of your b100d
AA: i d0nt have bl00d

But anyway, let’s see. If you wanted to extend that to flashy powers…

Things already fall apart in his grasp, but this would occur to an even more dramatic degree. The established and structured could find themselves crumbling around him.

Others in his vicinity may find themselves concealed and shrouded. Invisible, even, if so invited. Perhaps, himself, he’d even vanish at an opponent’s touch, like John and Breath. And, um….

Alright, I don’t quite know. It’s indeed a touch difficult to figure all this out. But you can easily imagine how impressive it would be, at least.
