I can definitely see all of those @projectress although I'm surprised about Harry being a Mage of Blood. The reason I was suggesting Space was mainly because his interest with fashion and creation. Plus, of course, there will need to be a Space player amongst the cast anyway so it will either be one of the 4 or one of the Satyrs/Nymphs.
Also I won't be surprised if I'm wrong about the Bard of Life, since it is very very on the nose that Ly'lac has all the characteristics of Doom. I came up with the Bard of Life theory before her introduction, back when we saw her first conversation in the little teaser.
The example I gave with Gamzee is more because Hope represents belief and seeing the positive in things, which kinda is the crux of his entire introduction and early character. Like, Jake's whole thing is that he believes in things so hard they become real, and Gamzee's whole thing is feeding into delusion so much that he forces it into reality. Reading it for the first time you can't know what any of that means, but going back it's hard to miss. The difference between Gamzee and a real Hope player is that all of this Hope surrounding him is achieved via a destruction of Rage. It's a subtle difference, but it's there! Like, he isn't calm at all, he is just silencing his Rage with the sopor slime.
There's a fun little parallel I noticed, where Gamzee, the Bard of Rage, pacified the enemy creatures in the Medium, while Eridan, Prince of Hope, aggravated the friendly creatures in the Medium. Which is kinda unrelated but demonstrates how they uniquely displayed their opposite aspect by destroying their own.
But anyway, from what we actually see, Ly'lac expresses Doom in a similar way (at least for the most part), via the destruction of Life. This literally happens in the panels we see with her relationship with plants, but also in more subtle ways like her chumhandle and her "EPITAPHIC HEX". "Hex" is Doom-related, but "Epitaphic" is only Doom-related in the way that it is the opposite of Life (death is inherently related to Doom, but when I looked up "Epitaphic" the definition I got was "A brief literary piece commemorating a deceased person." which feels less about the despairing march of doom we are all bound to follow, and more about a declaration on life itself).
Idk, it's just something I wanted to throw out because I noticed it early and it would be fun if I was right about it. If it turns out she is a Doom player then I'm not gonna be upset though. I mean it would be cool to see Doom in action beyond the passive role Sollux played, where he was really more just an extension of Aradia's Time-adjacent shenanigans.
As for the others I think Tavvy being a Mage of Blood would be interesting, but we'll see because now that I put an aspect to my Mage claim it feels very different from other Mages/Seers we've seen. In theory a Mage of Blood would probably fulfill a similar role to Kankri/The Signless, but obviously Tavvy is very different from either of them. He hasn't displayed any visions or expert knowledge in Blood like they did and like how Sollux did with Doom. So if he is a Blood aspect I would guess maybe a Rogue of Blood? That would be super interesting! I used to think of myself as a Rogue of Blood before I realised how obvious it was I am a Light player. (A Rogue of Light, I yap a lot but none of it means anything or makes any sense or is worth reading at all).
