What would Sora's God Tier be? Heart would be his aspect
obviously, but what about his class? Heir? Lord?
Sora ain't Heart, Sora I'd peg wholeheartedly (lmao) as a Blood player. "My friends are my power!" is his claim, and multiple times in the series he surmounts nearly impossible situations because of his bonds with so many people. Sora makes friends and weaves his connections like a spider and that fuels himself to be more powerful, and he makes these friends himself by being a genuinely good personable individual. He fights for his friends, hell he basically weaponizes friendship itself. While he goes about happy-go-lucky this is more or less a mask, he puts on a happy face for everyone else even as shit falls apart around him.
He's, I think, a
Knight of Blood.
Now our main man Master Xehanort? He's DEFINITELY a Heart player performing Grand Theft Body on many characters and spreading his Self onto others to become more of him. He manipulates others and infects their selves with himSelf, which is pretty horrifying! Dirk destroyed his own sense of Self as a Prince but I don't think MX is like that, he works kind of outwards on everyone else. I'm very tempted to say Thief, given he does not dictate the rules of Heart on others, but steals the sense of Self from others and fill them with his own to his own selfish benefit at that!

Re:Mind is looking neat so far
I'm was totally hyped when I saw
the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee
. Fingers crossed for an amazing DLC!
Now, Heart players are seen as very self-centered and those who only consider there own purpose in life, so I'd think Sora fits very well.
Don't get me wrong- Sora isn't self-centered, he is first and foremost centered on his duty as a Keyblade Wielder, and easily considers more his responsibilities as the most competent and reliable Keyblade Wielder (even if he himself wouldn't think of it that way.)
When it comes to his friends, he can't help but consider what HE can do to help them with their bonds, their feelings. Heart players are most focused on feelings, motivations, intentions. For a Heart player like Xehanort, this means manipulating those feelings to further his own goals. For a Heart player like Sora, this means working with those feelings to help others.
A lot of his adventures are fixated around him- he was THE Keyblade Master, the only one capable of saving the world. THE person tricked into Castle Oblivion who has to fight his way out. THE only person with the power and know-how to stop Xemnas. THE only person who could use the Power of Awakening to bring back Aqua, Ventus, and Terra.
This makes him think more about improving himself (and by extension his party) than it does about boosting others. Certainly, in the first game, he was more focused on finding Riku and Kairi, but it is as you said. "My friends are my power!" His friends are HIS power. HIS. As far as he is concerned, the friendships and bonds he's made over the course of the game are an extension of him. His bond goes far enough that the Hearts he's bonded with are one with his own. You wanna talk about Dirk splintering? There's a reason why the meme is everyone is Xehanort, and everyone
else is Sora. He is so great at bonding with others and making their friendship HIS power, that he splinters every time he makes a new friend.
Unlike Xehanort and Dirk, though, his splintering is kept in check because of those friendships. All of Xehanorts splinters have goals beyond helping Xehanort. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, didn't even give a damn about the x-Blade. He was more curious about Kingdom Hearts because he thought it would make Ansem, SoD, more powerful. Even after his memories were back, he was working with Xehanort out of obligation. Nevermind the stupidity of Xemnas' whole character, who still boggles my mind with how different he is from Xehanort, enough that, given the chance, I believe Xemnas would have betrayed the dude like he did with Organization XIII.
Even when Sora splinters into different being entirely- Xion, Roxas, Ventus (to some extent)- he keeps a steady, close friendship with all of them, unlike Dirk who...well, we all know what he thinks of his splinters.
I'm of the belief it all comes down to interpretation, though. Heart, Blood. It's really about perspective, since they're like Horoscopes- anyone could be any aspect if you take them at their broadest definition.
Considering Sora uses his emotions and the power he gains from the feelings he's extracted from others to fight evil, and how he believes in his bonds, I'd say he's a Knight of Heart. But Knight of Blood is a valid interpretation, too.
