Rhea Zaheela, an artist from Balmung, is organizing a special giveaway and as I'm the one responsible of this (as it's my challenge for her) I will assist her on this task (â™¥).

Theme !
With the incoming Astrologean class, Rhea will draw up a set of tarot cards using characters in the game, so we figured that we may as well make it a contest.

Seeing the examples above, youâ€™ll notice that there are 19 cards not drawn out, well thatâ€™s where the rest of you come in. Whether not you roleplay or not, are from Balmung, Leviathan, Fairy, or whatever, if you have a character and are interested, throw in your name and â€œwinâ€ the chance to have your character used in one of the cards.

Additionally, if you have some sort of preference to which card you wish to have your image used in, include it in a post/ask entry. You can list up to 3, and if you like, give us a reason why you think theyâ€™d be a good fit for the card (it doesnâ€™t have to be an exact fit, but remember, tarot cards do have reverse meanings too).

Missing cards: The Fool - The Magician - The Empress - The Emperor - The Hierophant - The Chariot - Justice - The Hermit - Wheel of Fortune - Strength - The Hanged Man - Death - Temperance - The Devil - The Tower - The Star - The Moon - The Sun - Judgment - The World

The rules !

FFXIV characters only
One Entry per person.
No request such as "I want this armor / I want this pose / I want this class / I want this" . Rhea will pull a lot of effort onto this, it is for fun and for improving her drawing skills but she's not getting paid.
Please no Heckling
Entries must be in by January 20th.
The 19 winners will be drawn and their favorites cards taken in account.

To enter simply provide the following:

Aduu Avagnar · **01-03-2015, 12:00 PM**

ooooh yay

Name: Nako'li Chalahko
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Red Mage
Cards (recommended): (a selection) Magician, or Death (or just Death if you want to limit it to one)
Reason for Card choice (recommended):Â
Â Â Magician: Nako lives for the pursuit of knowledge and Aetherial Power. Death: Nako's current story is all about change, letting go of his current job to embrace new ventures, it also fits him with his mask and shapeshifting. the reverse also works given he is haunted about his past work, and can't let go of that life compeltely. All of which fits the Death card quite nicely

Name: Dogberry Himalspyr
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Lancer
Cards (recommended): The Tower
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Dogberry's motivators come from disaster and dealing with abrupt change. He hangs on to the past to the detriment of his present and future.

Eva · **01-03-2015, 12:37 PM**

Name: Â Eva Zelorius
World: Â Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional):Â Priestess / Weaver / White Mage
Cards (recommended): Â The Empress
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Â Eva was originally created with this tarot card in mind several years ago. Â Eva is a mother of twin babies, maternal towards her friends and colleagues, nurturing, and exhibits all the qualities that this card is supposed to embody including the bosomy depiction its form often takes. Â That also takes into account some of the more sexual traits the card identifies with (however this is not publicly flaunted as such). Â I don't feel any other card suits her quite so well as the Empress, but alternatives would be The High Priestess to a lesser degree (though it appears taken) or Temperence (to a far lesser degree).

EDIT: Â Spelling, and a few posts were made since I started this. Â If it's a first-come first-serve thing we can bow out. Â We have commissioned an artist for a similar tarot card a couple years back, but we were looking forward to seeing this artist's rendering. Â While the tarot has been something about which we are passionate, we're certainly not going to make a fuss over this. Â ^^

Siha · **01-03-2015, 04:05 PM**

This idea is so awesome!!!

Name: Siha Xinkei
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): White Mage (because of the edit by Zaheela I'd like to mention that I played Sage. It also fits the character. xD)
Cards (recommended): The Magician is perfect.
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Upon reading the meaning behind the card I can't help but think it's perfect for Siha. Her life is all about making positive use of all of her power, and proving that she can make a difference if she tries.
Tumblr name (optional): Right now it's Miqotemenagerie but I don't use it often! D:

Nope, You'll just need luck to get drawn if we go over 20 entries. As for your card choice, That'll also be luck if it's a popular card (which is why we took the lovers out of the running). (also i forgot to mention this... if you had a Job from ANOTHER FF game *coughredmagecough* You can put that as your job as well.

Faye · **01-03-2015, 04:18 PM**

Oooh this looks fun!

Name: Faye Covington
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): WHM
Cards (recommended): The Empress
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Faye is a natural leader with an ambition that won't cease until she is on top of the world. She likes to take charge, ever confident and even a bit narcissistic. The favorite pet name has lover has given her is "Princess."
Tumblr name (optional): FairFae

Titor · **01-03-2015, 05:20 PM**

Name: Titor Jaraba
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Alchemist/Scientist/Geometry User (ACN but focused heavvvilllyy on math, and less so on magic or summons)
Cards (recommended): The Hanged Man, Death, The World (From first choice to third choice)
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Titor is a very intricate character. The first two cards, the Hanged Man and Death, are quite representative of his physical being. Titor has sickle-cell anemia, which often causes him great amounts of pain. He is trying as an alchemist to try to find a cure for it, but so far has only figured out ways to manage it, but it still causes a variety of issues. He works with the Flames and is quite self-sacrificing on that manner. The words for the Hanged Man on the wikipedia seemed to describe him. Passive, confirming, acceptance. He tries to remain optimistic about the health he had been given, but it is very hard, and he has mostly become melancholic about it. He knows he will die at a young age, no matter if he stays out of battle or not.

He has also been in numerous situations of being a PoW/captured/tortured for the Flames. One time even having been taken to Garlemald. He tries to put others before himself, stepping in the way so that he may be taken instead of others. However the amount of carelessness that he has received from those he protects and stands for has, on the most lowest level of his mind, been taking a corrupted seed. Thus the slight implications of traitor on the card may be a bit symbolic of his own questions of his loyalty to the Flames and Eorzea. While he may never actually defect or become a traitor, somewhere deep inside his mind is that thought.

For the World, this one has much less physical/social interpretation of him, but instead dives deep into his math savant-ism. The world is cosmic unity, connectedness. Titor has a much different connection the world than say, a conjurer or one who focuses in on nature. Titor is able to see the underlying algorithms of reality. Math, physics, chemistry. His understanding for the minutiae of the system that makes up reality gives him deep insight into the inner-workings of mathematical phenomena. Thus his connection with space-time through mathematics.

Hyakki · **01-03-2015, 05:34 PM**

Xenedra · **01-03-2015, 05:48 PM**

Name: Xenedra Ambreaus
World: Balmung
Character main class/job/role (Optional): Bard
Cards (recommended): The Devil
Reason for Card choice (recommended): Her morals are often considered questionable by others and she lives by her own rules for the most part. Advice she gives sometimes has seeds in self service and greed, rather than what is actually good and right for the situation. She's a terribly lusty creature, though recently her lust has been focused on only one target. When she wants something, she'll stop at nothing to get it, using anything from theft to charm to secure whatever it may be. She's often materialistic and selfish, except in the case of closer friends and is prone to addictions such as alcohol. If pushed in just the right way, she could easily be convinced to go "dark side," most likely do to a lack of "good" morals and hopeless attitude in emotionally stressful situations due to oppression in her youth. Much of what she does is simply to amuse herself, playing with others, making them blush and/or getting a rise out of them being amongst her favorite endeavors.
