It's a hell of a lot of fun assigning tarot cards to characters. I did this once before with my own characters, a few years back, but never finished it (example here oh dear two years is such a long time XD;) but I was thinking there's probably enough people around and about the ERverse to make a fully drawn-out ER Tarot Deck a possibility... maybe? We could reserve the Major Arcana for the heads of factions or major events, and go wild on the Minor Arcana. I've got a list of the kind of general meanings and such here, and a place for people to reserve cards or make suggestions here. Also kinda went and stole Queen of Swords for Hannah already, because it's pretty perfect :'D Even if nobody is interested in this project thing, I may end up drawing her anyway. XDD Finished size would probably around 460x800 pixels to make them easily shareable on tumblr. Or proportional to that, anyway. What do people think?

Again, if you guys want to reserve any particular cards now, feel free!

But I had a look at the list and I saw a few of the Minor Arcana that might suit him...? Spoiler: click to toggle 9 of Wands, "Lord of Great Strength" DEFENSIVENESS / PERSEVERENCE / STAMINA 5 of Cups, "Lord of Loss in Pleasure" LOSS / BEREAVEMENT / REGRET 6 of Swords, "Lord of Earned Success" THE BLUES / RECOVERY / TRAVEL 3 of Pentacles, "Lord of Material Works" TEAMWORK / PLANNING / COMPETENCE King of Wands Upright - A charming, responsible, loyal, entertaining, witty, honest, conscientious and generous person. A lover of the home and family life. A very passionate and virile man who is good at moral support and encouragement. When pushed or provoked he acts without hesitation, but can sometimes find this hard as he can often see both sides of an argument. Ill Dignified or Reversed - He has an inability to understand or appreciate another's point of view, particularly if they are coming from a lower moral standpoint than his own. He is intolerant, narrow minded and a bigot with deep prejudices. He has a ruthless streak and cares little for the feelings of others. There are probably others, but those are the ones which jumped out at me. XD

Hopefully I'll have it finished this weekend.

Newbie Posts: 7 Group: Members Member #2 Joined: May 17, 2012	That looks good so far! You're right, Queen of swords is really perfect for Hannah. I'm thinking 5 of Wands for Karl but I'm not totally sure yet.
