While I would like to say this idea is 100% mine, it's not. It was a culmination of reading Tarot books and talking to people on HC. (Chi in particular.) Basically, the idea is that you base a character around a particular Tarot card or maybe a few tarot cards. You study the card and use it's traits, good and bad, to establish who the character is. Shuffle the deck a few times and draw a card. Simple. If you don't have a tarot deck and want to try, there are plenty of tarot card programs floating around the internet (which is what I use, free and it works). So, here goes....I will also post what tarot card in the character threads I make, since I want to try this a few times and see how it works. Maybe do some readings for the characters too. ;) Thoughts?
I didn't see this until now, but it sounds quite interesting and I am actually looking to make a new character :O This sounds like a fine idea
*Just remembers this thread exists.* Okay, Eternis. Card for you or for a character? :P Also, I have my first character designed with a tarot card. But I need answers on mounts before I can finish him. :P But it's actually pretty useful. If there's enough interest, I can post a link to the program I use.
Okay, sure. I drew a card for your character. It was The Chariot. :P Feel free to google the card to your heart's content. Here's the program: http://www.orphalese.net/index.aspx?chosenculture=en
