Prince of Light: One who Destroys with Light or Destroys Light

Princes ghost their opposite Aspects as they destroy theirs. They are violently stubborn pessimistic people that stop at nothing to reach their goals. Their challenge is to not destroy themselves along their destructive path

A Prince of Light would act much like a Void player in their tendency to destroy Light with Light. They are very secretive people, acting really indifferent or ignorant about things, even if they do actually know. They would see something meaningful and important and over analyze it to the point that all meaning or significance it once held is now stripped away. They would use their own influence and importance to divert other people’s attention away from any unwanted or inconvenient information. They in essence destroy original meaning by replacing it with their own meaning. They might use their own information and perception of things to destroy any meaning that superstition once held, even destroying lucky objects as an example. They might use their perception and knowledge of what’s important and meaningful to find it and dismiss it or destroy it when they come across it.

They might purposefully act really stupid or dumb to divert other people’s attention away from the fact that they are very intelligent, fortunate or influential. They might just outright disregard any meaningful information they do not like or doesn’t serve their purposes, sometimes to an extreme point that they destroy their own knowledge or definition, so they never knew the inconvenient thing in the first place, or they hide the fact that they were ever wrong. Prince of Light just screams “Politician” or “Sleeper Agent” to me. They would have a tendency to lurk in dark places, avoiding brightness, breaking lamps and such. The scary part is that they’re so good at diverting attention and destroying the original meaning of something, that no one would perceive otherwise if they really wanted them not to.

They would also undermine the concepts of luck and chance, using their own knowledge and perception for how probabilities work and what they mean. This counts for superstitions as well, they definitely scoff at any kind of lucky charm or habit, believing them to meaningless or unimportant. On the darker extreme side of things, they won’t hesitate to physically destroy any path that leads to the unwanted information or attention on things they don’t want well known, even if they have to destroy all evidence, gouge out eyes, or convince whoever it was that they were mistaken in the first place, that it actually wasn’t true or doesn’t mean anything. Fuhrer Bradley from the Full Metal Alchemist is a really good example of a more evil Prince of Light.
