Tarot Stuck (Interest Check and discussion) Empty Tarot Stuck (Interest Check and discussion)

Post by DistantRed Tue Oct 20, 2015 8:49 am

Tarot cards are cards that are often used for games and fortune telling.
There are 22 cards that are considered "major arcana", and have unique character themes to them.

Homestuck bases character groups on a common theme (elements for humans, internet personalities for pre-scratch trolls, zodiac for post-scratch trolls, time for "leprechauns", passive/aggressive for cherubs, and many others I am most likely forgetting).

This session would have characters be based on the 22 major arcana.

Yes, 22 characters at least. Perhaps even more if there ever happens to be a scratch or two.

This session, being so large, should ideally jump-start this forum.

To prevent the session failing, if you are gone for 72 hours or so, we may allow your character(s) to be publically used.

-----------

FAQ:

Are we doing a troll session, a human session, mixed, fan races? How many of each? This is a matter up for discussion. :D

Can I use [insert character here] for this? Yes, but they have to fit the theme of the arcana (don't worry, arcana tends to be pretty broad).

Can I claim a space? You can, but not now, this is simply an interest check currently.

What if real life stuff stops me? Real-life happens, we understand. If you warn us ahead of time, we can extend the 72 hour wait period to as long as necessary. You can also just give up your character any time, if you feel it needed.

What if I return after the 72 hours? Then the character is once more yours! :)

Can I have more than one character? Yes, depending on how much interest there is, quite a few people MUST have multiple characters.

--------------------------------------------
Here is a list of the Major Arcana. Their specific challenges will be decided on by the character. If you want further clarification, please ask.

The Fool (FJ)
The Magician (DR)
The High Priestess (BK)
The Empress (DR)
The Emperor (DR)
The Hierophant (TG)
The Lovers (DR)
The Chariot (DJ)
Justice (FJ)
The Hermit (Cardly)
Wheel of Fortune (BK)
Strength (PA)
The Hanged Man (DR)
Death (TK)
Temperance
The Devil (paranoidArtisan)
The Tower (TG)
The Star (PA)
The Moon (DR)
The Sun (Cardly)
Judgement (TK)
The World (TK)

Don't worry. You won't need to know anything whatsoever about tarot. In fact, I think it's best if you didn't know about it at all. You pretty much only need to know your arcana pretty much and what it means, which I will tell.

I've chosen some randomly. (The post will be edited to reflect this.)

I'll give out two randomly to each for in case you guys want to have a re-roll, or trade, or some new people show up asking for spots.

@Cardly The Hermit and The Sun

- The Hermit: Trying hard to figure out what the "truth" is about someone or something, often alone, and almost always trying to do "the right thing", whatever that is. A keyword for this card is "introspection" (looking within).

- The Sun: You are going to find yourself feeling more free than you have in a LONG TIME. You are all about vitality, freedom, joy, and self-expression. A major challenge will be focusing on what is important. The keyword is "bright".

@TK Judgement and The World

- Judgement: You are quick to making decisions and judgements, and to be fair many are perhaps quick to pass judgement on you.

- The World: You are figuratively feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, which is not an easy place to be. You've worked hard for something and are almost completed. Do not quit now.

@BK The High Priestess and Wheel of Fortune

- The High Priestess: You are in a phase where you are becoming much more attractive to others (perhaps physically, perhaps in other ways). You focus more on intuition than intellect.

- Wheel of Fortune: Things are changing many times for you and this change is pretty traumatic to you. This card is pretty much summed up with "this too shall pass". One moment you'll be on the top of the world, and the next you will be suffering.

I got The Magician and The Hanged Man

- The Magician: You have the power to make a difference, though it is quite uncertain whether you will use this power out of self-doubt. You are worried others will dislike "new you", and true, they may not.

- The Hanged Man: You are at crossroads of whether to do something. There is an attitude you need to let go of, and it will require sacrifice to do so.

@PA The Star and Strength

- The Star: You are finding yourself rather inspired. You are more confident that your needs will be met and about the future in general. Though perhaps someone or something inside you is stopping you.

- Strength: You are struggling to focus on what you want to do versus what you don't want. You will have to conquer your fears, control your impulses, and/or keep patience with yourself. If this is done, you will have the ability to help achieve the highest good. Though you already have quite a bit to be gracious for, though are blind to it. Your main problem is keeping your head on straight.

@FJ The Fool and Justice

- The Fool: You are going through new beginnings, a fresh start, if you will. Perhaps you are hesitant to make this change for whatever reason. Anyways, you have the purity and energy of a child. Your main problem is looking where you are going. (note: as a good example, the art on the card is the fool walking off a cliff)

- Justice: You are often the one making decisions of others for what you consider fair, and often deal with the problems of others. This is quite taxing on you. You are struggling for fairness, balance, and harmony. Everything is karmic to you, so you often wonder whose fault things are quite often. You also perhaps feel that life itself is unjust currently.

@FJ Pretty much. It'd be best if you tried to sort of ignore Kanaya while creating your character though. :/

I just updated FJ's and PA's spots.

Oh, and who would want extra characters besides what they have?

@TK Huh, I actually recall you wanting this one. Death.

- Death: This card isn't necessarily (or only) physical death. You will encounter something or are encountering something quite destructive which will control you. This will cause you to wallow in pain and/or sorrow. Obsessing over the problem will just make it much worse. Your problem will be learning to just "let go", whether or not that's actual dying.

@TK I know I told you "Death" on the chat, but I feel it's necessary to say it here anyways, just so I don't appear as if I'm ignoring you.
Moon.

- The Lovers (only one character though, so The Lover may be a better "translation"): First of all, it non-surprisingly symbolizes a romantic partnership. It also symbolizes duality (masculine/feminine, approach/avoidance, etc.). It also states that the mind and the heart might be against each other.

- The Moon: Things and people seem confusing to you. You struggle with this and often try to force people to do things before they are ready. You are possibly the last to ever trust somebody, even somebody you know well. You are also QUITE suspicious over many things.

There are 6 spots left open now. While we are waiting for more people, it may be a good time to make characters/decide what character you want to use.

I think it would also be good to say that the Emperor will be a Lord (perhaps a cherub) of something, and the Empress will be a Muse (also, perhaps a cherub).

The Emperor and Empress should be owned by different people, and if nobody wants them, I will take them.

I'm not sure if you acknowledge Soul as a class, but it's the most accurate one I have from Land of Bells and Celebration. I read tarot myself, so I'm 100% interested in this thread. What do I need to do to join up? I'm a human player named Jack Terntal
