The Thief and Rogue class pairing are active (-) and passive (+) respectively. It's unclear whether this means Calliope was canonically wrong about gender bias, or if Hussie was simply lifting the restrictions for fan content. Additionally, when asked about the possibility of a female character with the Prince class, Andrew Hussie gave a simple 'sure'. Calliope's theories aren't always accurate, and Calliope's understanding of gender may be based on the concept of her own species' duality, so what she may understand as gendered traits may be according to personality traits contrasting her and Caliborn. There is evidence which seems to indicate that Calliope's theories about class gender restrictions may be incorrect. Conversely, Heir and Page cannot both be male-exclusive as there are not enough potential female-exclusive classes to balance that out. At least 2 of the remaining classes would therefore have to be female-exclusive, in order to balance the number of known male-exclusive classes (presumably Witch and Maid, given the feminine connotations). Of the remaining 10 classes, 5 are known to be non-gender-specific ( Knight, Rogue, Thief, Seer, and Mage) - though some appear more commonly amongst a certain gender, (The Thief and Rogue pairing is typically - though вЂњ not exclUsively вЂќ - assigned to female players) - the remaining 5 having been only assigned to a single gender in canon, but not confirmed as being gender-exclusive ( Heir, Page, Sylph, Maid, and Witch). Three male-exclusive classes were stated ( Bard, Prince and Lord), as was one female-exclusive class ( Muse). Calliope has stated there to be equal numbers of male-exclusive and female-exclusive classes, as well as implying that the number of commonly-male and commonly-female classes are balanced.

The 12 classes and their passive/active alignment are believed to be connected with Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's mythic Archetypes.Д¬lasses might also have gender alignments, with some being exclusive to a certain gender, and others being assigned to both males and females. Hussie has stated that the passiveness or activeness of a class is determined by multiple factors, and is related to whether the player is a Prospit or Derse dreamer. Excluding the master classes, no class's position on the scale has been revealed, although some hints have been given. The passive/active system exists on a scale, with some classes being more passive or active than others. Alternatively, in the Bard/Prince pairing, both classes cause destruction, with Bards bringing about/catalyzing the destruction, and Princes directly destroying. In the case of a Rogue/Thief pairing, both classes 'steal', however Rogues do so to help their teammates, and Thieves do so for their own benefit. вЂќ It is a vague concept with some flexibility, however Calliope gives two examples of this pairing dichotomy: Calliope states that вЂњ some more strongly passive or active than others.

Simplistically, active means self-serving, passive means group oriented, where active classes employ or affect their aspect directly and for their own gain, and passive classes are affected by their aspect, and work to benefit their team. Classes can be paired based on the similarity of their role's function within these pairs, one class serves as passive (+), the other active (-), with each member of a particular pair executing their roles differently.
