User blog comment:A, Mori/Should We Rethink The Classpect Titles?/@comment-1917722-20190624130146/@comment-3293097-20190628102129

From what I understand, being an Heir means that your aspect is something that just kind of becomes a part of you and something that you end up spreading and having an influence on others by being around them, often while being unaware of it. I think Heir is supposed to be passive, but don't quote me on that. (As a tangent, I'm realizing that Heir of Hope is only accurate for Zach in the "traditional inspirational hero" role, which is how he tends to be in Alpha, but something I would like to subvert if I portray him in anything in the future)

Someone who actively gathers knowledge and uses it to benefit others would be a Seer or a Mage, depending on how they went about it. While both have an in-depth knowledge of their aspect, Mages act on that knowledge in a more personal way, while Seers bestow their knowledge upon others for their benefit.
