RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - C'kayah Polaali - 01-04-2015

Name: C'kayah Polaali
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): White Mage (or crime lord, if we're talking ICly)
Cards (recommended): The Heirophant
Reason for Card choice (recommended): C'kayah is trying to change the shape of the underworld in Ul'dah, and he's doing so mainly by hewing to a semimystical vision. He's gathered other criminals around him, and he's welded them into a single entity by interpreting this vision for them, convincing them it's the right thing to do.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Parvacake - 01-04-2015

  • Name: Lilithium 'Lili' Altair
  • World: Balmung
  • Character main class/job/role (Optional): SCH/MNK/WAR
  • Cards (recommended): The Moon or The Star
  • Reason for Card choice (recommended): The Moon represents Lili's deity, Menphina, the goddess of love. Lili represents more of a maternal love then a romantic one with how fiercely she loves her children and those around her. The Star could represent how she is a light in the darkness for those around her, including for her lover Locke who struggles with his 'condition' and for some of the children she has come to adopt.
  • Tumblr name (optional): N/A

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Geisterfuchs - 01-04-2015

  • Name: Carina Lir


  • World: Balmung


  • Character main class/job/role (Optional): White Mage/Healer


  • Cards (recommended): Hierophant; Death


  • Reason for Card choice (recommended): Carina is always trying to support others, trying to be beneficial for others, even goes as far as ignoring her own needs or safety; Lately she's been under the impression that she's the bringer of death and bad things to others, mainly because most people that really touch her heart vanish or die.


  • Tumblr name (optional): n.a.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Naunet - 01-04-2015

Oh, what a clever idea! The astrologian class is definitely stirring up all kinds of inspiration. :3 I'll toss in an entry!

Name: Antimony Jhanhi
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role: Former financial advisor/auditor; before that she was a tribal healer-shaman that made use of bone carvings, fetishes, sand, and various dried animal and plant parts.
Cards: Either Death or Judgement would be very appropriate for Antimony's character
Reason for card choice: I mention the Judgement card, as it usually shows up when there's been some significant turning point in one's life that calls for a reawakening, or some examination of one's self and purpose. Antimony recently had to come to grips with a rather awful tragedy involving her youngest daughter and is struggling with how to move on from that point, trying to figure out how she fits into the life of her one remaining daughter. Alternatively, the Death card would be appropriate as it relates to new beginnings and a period of transformation - for reasons related to the aforementioned situation. She's also already had one reawakening in her life (when she fled her home and family after the loss of her nunh and three daughters to war) and is on the cusp of a second.

Looking forward to the final products either way!

This sounds awesome! Only I have a few chars that could easily be tarotified... idk who I would pick :/

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - jupiknight - 01-05-2015

AHHHHH THESE ARE SO CUTE

Name: Idonea Ljung
World: Balmung
Class: Rogue, carer for her 'fool', Naoh'a.
Card: Chariot
Reason: Ido is incredibly self-disciplined and determined. She's confident in her abilities, and it helps her significantly. She's capable of taking care of her companion, who she affectionately named 'fool', when he is acting up to his name. Her stoic and calm nature is free of most any irrational impulse, and she's able to control her emotions without skipping a beat.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Crisiet - 01-05-2015

Name: Crisiet Liautroix
World: Balmung
Class: Dragoon
Card: The Devil or The Tower
Reason: Crisiet is in many ways still bound to a way of life that has a negative effect on both himself and those closest to him. He is miserable, and believes he deserves it. As a result, he is terrified of moving on. He lost a lot once, and losing that again would be devastating.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Duskwright - 01-06-2015

Name: Rathys Daystar

World: Balmung

Character main class/job/role (Optional): Scholar

Cards (recommended): The Hermit

Reason for Card choice (recommended): Rathys has a very poor outlook on life, He was constantly abandoned while Growing up and chooses to not invole himself with others, Even tho he tends to dabble with other people every so often, he tends to keep to himself and prefer not to develop any relations to anyone, with the fear of being Abandoned again.

The Hermit in a Reversed Position stands for things such as Isolation, Loneliness and Withdrawal, while in the upright it stands for things such as solitude, privacy, social withdrawal, perspective and insight. Which all more or less suits my tortured little baby. :>

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Austratus - 01-06-2015

I want to do this, but... what cards would work for Kroemgarr? I'm stuck :<

(I'll edit this one if I figure it out.)

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Boo the Hamster - 01-06-2015

Enju Abbagliato

Balmung

Lancer/Dragoon/Retainer

The only thing I would ask is to not be in a leadership type card.  He chose not to lead, only to serve.

Reading over the information on Tarot cards, just ignore what I said earlier.  Any card will do.

You dont need to sign up for a card if you don't have a theme in mind. It would mean that if you can windup as any of the cards (that another winner doesn't claim)

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Telluride - 01-07-2015

Name: Nathan Telluride

World: Balmung

Character main class/job/role (Optional): Bard by profession, job and nature

Cards (recommended): The Fool, The World

Reason for Card choice (recommended):

Fool: Nathan doesn't choose destinations. His feet just point at the rise of each day, and he goes where they are pointed... as long as they'll lead him to somewhere he can sleep, play a few tunes, and take in the local beauties and the local drinks. This means he sometimes runs into wonderful people and the most stirring of adventures, and sometimes, he's huddling in a tent with only a fireshard, his lute and a flask to get him through the night. But he gets up all the same, greets the sun, and seeks the next gig. What better Fool than an itinerant bard?

The World: The same bard that seems like a wandering, musical hobo to you may know more than you think. He's seen the sun rise and rain fall in more places than most people know exist, and he picks up stories, bits of knowledge and wisdom everywhere. Who's going to tell your tale when it's complete? When heroes breathe their last breaths, who is it that spreads word of their glories and deeds, and cements their place in the history, legend and culture of the World? It's that bard. When your path is done, he picks it up, and shows it anew to another generation, until your deeds and your glories are as much a part of the World around as are the stars, the mountains, and the soil underfoot.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Reshie - 01-07-2015

Name: Ereshkigal Atropos

World: Balmung

Character main class/job/role (Optional): Healer, more specifically SCH

Cards (recommended): Strength, The Sun, The Star

Reason for Card choice (recommended):

Strength: The description of the card makes me immediately think of Eresh and Kuru. If anyone has ever met Kurumimi Kurumi, they'll understand why she would be the lion in this case. Eresh tends to be Kuru's balance, stopping her from blowing up things, taking people's blue eyes and other such destructive behaviors. They're best friends, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses and balancing one another out. Many a person has said Kuru is unruly and uncontrollable but with Eresh she's not nearly as violent or homicidal. She has the patience to deal with some of Kuru's rages and the compassion to look past them to the reasons why and understand the person within.

The Sun: I see Eresh holding some of these traits. She is ever the optimist even in the face of great adversity. She's also very much focused on success and seeing things through. IC, she's become successful through her trading and reclamation skills. She typically has a warm smile for those she meets and is very welcoming to all.

The Star: Hope and spirituality are the big ones I see. Coming from a sea going family, she is very spiritual. While she doesn't flaunt her beliefs, she keeps an alter in her private chambers both in her home and on the family's ship. Her hope ties in with her positivity. In her mind there is always hope for something better, a hope that not all is lost and the storm will pass leaving behind a field of flowers.

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - Warren Castille - 01-07-2015

If I may.

Name: Warren Castille
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Paladin

Card: Justice!

Reason for Card Choice: Warren's role as a guardian requires a hard determination of the just and the guilty, and his determination is as integral a trait of his being as any other sum of his parts. His stoicism has led many to assume he is cold and distant, but his reasons for being aloof are reasonable, for his purposes: Closeness causes emotion to tinge the pathways of logic and reason, and Justice is a matter of Right and Wrong. The virtues and the vices depicted by the card are embodied by Warren, for better or for worse, and he takes his role too seriously to change that now. Per wikipedia:

Quote: Impartiality — Distance — Coldness — Justice
Objective mind — Criticism — Being clever — Insensitivity
Decision — Intellect — Analysis — Realism — Severity
Responsibility — Rationality — Clear vision — Logic and reason

I'll provide screenshots (for real!) later tonight. right now!

RE: Themed Art Giveaway - Tarot Cards - cuideag - 01-07-2015

Name: Delial Grimsong
World: Balmung 
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Arcanist (or really a Scholar sans fairy)
Cards (recommended): Hanged Man or Judgement
Reason for Card choice (recommended):
Hanged Man: The themes of martyrdom and perspective are very prevalent in much of Delial's life, as is that of becoming a 'willing victim' in a sense (though her perspective on the role she plays herself has been skewed so strongly she might not recognize it herself). Throughout her life, she has played the villain to the benefit of others and to the benefit of a singular greater good she believes in so strongly she cannot see the truths beyond it. Yet she has been forced to seek consider alternate viewpoints, and she has come to question her actions (particularly regarding Gharen Wolfsong and Roen Deneith) as perhaps not quite as noble as she once thought. However she continues to act the aggressor in their defense, satisfied that it shall forever be her place in the universe to be monstrous to protect the hero. The means justify in the ends, and whether or not she will be remembered as a hero (as she believes herself to be) or a villain (as others have thought her to be) is of little importance in the end.

Judgement: Crossroads and change are also strong themes in Delial's character. Cause and effect and ultimately consequence are things she tries hard to control but when it comes to decisions she must make of herself, she often is given pause. She knows her calling, has lived it for years, and yet something does not feel right. Whether or not she has indeed awakened to what could be called a higher purpose has yet to be seen: yet Delial will walk on in pursuit of it, trusting in her own judgement to face whatever judgement might be cast upon her.
