Ok, so for those of you who may think you have an interest in Bards, I thinks I may have realized what they actually are.
I first realized this after reading this blog, here:

If this inverse theory is correct, which I believe to be so, then a Bard's inverse class would be a Maid and vice-versa. Now, a lot of people believe that a Maid is a pun where they are made of their aspect or will become their aspect. After reading the relation of the Maid class to the Bard class, I thought of puns you could make for the Bard class. All that came to his mind was the term Barter and Trade, which is quite a stretch due to the spelling, but it does make a lot of sense.
A lot of Homestuck conspiracy theorists think that a Bard may be able to mimic the abilities of other players in their sessions, such as when Gamzee used time travel, which is what the Bards receive for trading. Bards are also said to be able to increase their aspect in others, as shown in Gamzee who has pissed off a lot of his co-players. So therefore, a Bard trades their aspect. I also believe that a side affect of this is that they trade some personality traits as well, but I only have my own personal experience as a Bard of Void to back me up.
This concludes my theory.
Please let me know what you think by posting here or contacting my pesterchum that I never use enough. (which encryptedLeprechaun, btw)
