Please choose another Tarot if you want one.Do you remember long-and-boring-as-heck Prologue. Well, as you probably can guess, I'm restarting it. I realized that it was a story worth doing.However... all my characters were deleted... so I have to start anew. I have some characters from USB that I somehow kept a document of, but others... GONE!!! Oh cruel, cruel world!!! How hast thou left Stragas without his ideas?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??Well, here's where everyone else come in. I currently don't have enough characters in various areas, so I need help!!!Okay, I feel so stupid doing this when the forum doesn't have a lot of people going now, but when a man gets desperate, he has to resort to something...Oh and for Factions... well, there are currently three factions: Adventurers, The Previous, and StrangersI'll explain each factions in short.Adventurers:Well, they aren't really called that. They are simple people that are tossed into the crazy world of Timelines. They were normal humans from our timeline before they are sent to another timeline or realize the "truth" on their own. They are almost always bonded with Tarots, be Major or Minor Tarots. Once they figure out about Apocalypse, they seek to save people from the phenomenon and find a way to travel beyond Apocalypse, like The Bearer has done in the past. As such, they seek The Bearer.The Previous:Remember the Prologue? Well, these are the to-be owners of the seven powers that The Bearer (see Glossary if confused) have lost. Each wields the past Previous's powers. There are SEVEN in all. If you have trouble with powers of The Pervious, please PM me or msg me here. If you have trouble finding who is who, then see Glossary. They seek to break the cycle of Apocalypse and Genesis through the wisdom of The Bearer.Nota Bene: Among the characters that I have found, The Previous of Rejection, Jernoitce, was there. So I don't need Jernoitce. Just for FYI.Stranger:Strangers have similar objective to Reciful, with a few differences. They believe that all timelines are not worth saving, and they seek to make their own timeline, and destroy all others. They believe that only a distinct individuals can pass on, and they believe that this is the ONLY way of saving the world from Apocalypse. They use Tarots, mostly major, and each wield enormous power. They seek to destroy anyone who oppose their ways, and they seek The Bearer's knowledges to help them create a utopia that they dream.Nota Bene: They have already destroyed a few timelines in the past, and they are the ONLY one at the beginning of the story that know the current location of The Bearer. Orderers: Henchmen of Strangers organization. Uses Minor tarots. Callers: Cannon Fodder of Strangers organization. Ordinary beings without power. Primarily used for political influence of timeline and recruiting.sizeo:20/sizeoApplicationsizec/sizeccoloro:blue/coloroBlue is for MUST that you need to fill outcolorc/colorc, coloro:red/coloroRED is for faction exclusive if you decide on a factioncolorc/colorc, and coloro:green/coloroGREEN is for optional crap.colorc/colorc Remember that!!!coloro:blue/coloroFull Name:colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroNickname or Preferred namecolorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroAge:colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroBirthplace:colorc/colorccoloro:blue/coloroPhysical Appearance:colorc/colorccoloro:red/coloroFaction:colorc/colorc coloro:red/coloroTarots (Adventurers and Strangers ONLY)* ^^:colorc/colorccoloro:red/coloroPrevious (The Previous ONLY)**:colorc/colorccoloro:blue/coloroBiography***:colorc/colorccoloro:blue/coloroPersonality:colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroWeapon:(If you want)colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroFighting Style:(If you want)colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroDeath?****:colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroDeath Scenario(How do you want your char to die?):colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroLove Preferences?^:colorc/colorccoloro:green/coloroExtra Information:colorc/colorc*(Don't think that you are limited to tarots that I made up on the Glossary.

The least it is... well, I think I'll get to you eventually, but I'm spending over 5 hours on this forum, and I think that is a serious issue of mine.Once I think it is within the standard.... YAY, you have been partly accepted. I will write your character up, then paste it in this thread. Then I'll add you to my "potential character list." And I shall post your character's role in the story.The character is FULLY ACCEPTED when I place it on the story. It is all legitimacy, and I can assure you that I'll use your character one way or another. Now you just have to Read and hope that I make new chapter to see your character in action. You can probably expect your character to come out in next one or two chapters after I have accepted your character. You see, I don't have legit characters at the moment, so that helps with adding characters.

This is actually quite interesting, as we actually have something in the works with characters we imagined we would be like in a fantasy setting. I suppose we could...use those. If it is alright though, we'd prefer to PM you the details; they are rather 'complex' and I'd rather the rest of the community don't know...yet...And if you are reading this Cham, no, you do not need to do anything to our selves in your story; this is our own 'recreation' of ourselves in a true fantasy setting.We'll send you the details within the week; a bit of modification would be necessary to fit into this fantasy setting (as compared to the one we're working on).

Full Name: Adrien (No last name)Age: 14Physical Appearance: Slightly tall, thin. Tanned, and slightly more muscular than they seem. Wavy black hair, brown eyes, and large-ish nose.Faction: AdventurersTarots: The HermitBio: This person is an outcast from their society for having the powers of illumination (hands light up) and thought corruption (can put thoughts in others' heads). They wandered the world not knowing where to go, and were always an outcast wherever they went. As such, no one knows whether they can speak, or whether they are male or female. Reads anything they find, and will read very quickly. Found the Hermit sitting in a forest, and talked(projected their thoughts) to her. She accepted them, and was bound to them ever since. They have two daggers, which they hide during battle with the light of their hands, and as staff that they keep on their back at all times. Got lost in timelines by wandering over the edge of their universe, which was comprised solely of their flat planet.Personality: A nice person who will do anything for the people they like, but can be very stubborn. Gets very angry, but not often. Rarely speaks.Weapons: Two short daggers, and one staff.Fighting Style: With the daggers: They prefer to finish all fights quickly, and therefore uses their Illumination to blind the enemies and then to quickly kill or incapacitate them. If this is not possible, they use both short straight slices and long fluid ones.With the staff: They wield the staff in one hand, often spinning it around, to confuse their foes. They prefer swipes to jabs, bit will switch to a double-handed position to make jabs strong enough to punch a hole in a brick wall.Death?: YesDeath Scenario: Sacrifices theirself. Doesn't matter why or how, but it has to be a good reason.Love Preferences?: NoExtra Information: This person's powers stem directly from the dream link between timelines. If they don't sleep, their powers wea

Name: Noah/Nick Summers Age: early to mid twentiesBirthplace: unknownPersonality: Noah is the kind of person everyone goes to when they need advice, seeing as he is very empathetic. he also attempts to stay strong and not show others his pain. And during the beginning of his journey, he was a pacifist; he's having difficulties transitioning. He joined the strangers because he believes they can attain world peace. He is the quiet, hopeful, passive genius of the group. (His IQ is 172.) On the other hand, Nick is basically a sadist. If he could he would make every child in the world cry. He is also very possessive, finding joy in having things. Unlike Noah, Nick is very temperamental. He follows Noah's decisions because of a promised Noah he would. (explained in bio.) He is always protective of his friends, sometimes seen beating their enemies.Physical appearance: Caucasian (German, French, and Polish), 5 feet 7 inches(170.18 cm), Scruffy Brown hair, Light blue eyes which glisten like the sea, Thin, no facial hair, and yin-yang tattoo on his left shoulder. He wears boot cut jeans that are too long, tight brown t-shirt, an unbuttoned gray dress shirt, a newsboy cap, and high top converse. Faction: StrangersTarots:I will be happy with any of these Tarots but I would preferably have temperance because of it's representation of balance. Hermit, Star, Magician, Hanged Man, Chariot, Tower, Emperor, The Devil are also permitted. I would also be happy with having two tarots, one for Nick and one for Noah. If they have two, I would like it to be the star and the devil. Bio- Summers has no recollection of his early childhood, because he had a brain aneurysm 17 years ago that damaged his memories. He was given little service, and received no psychiatric to help him recover his memories. His lack of care could be due to his lack of money. And Noah only spent 10 lonely days in the hospital, where another with his condition could have spent as much as a month or more in the hospital. With no knowledge of who his parents are, the police sent Summers was sent to an orphanage. The police didn't attempt to find Summers parents, as they couldn't be bothered with a kid. Noah waited outside everyday for a year, waiting for the police to come and tell him 'we found them.' His waiting was futile. And another issue came about, the director at the orphanage was abusive drunk often beating the kids for no reason. Noah would do everything he could to avoid these beating. Although no matter how hard Noah tried, he was beaten the most. Even when other children made a mistake, he would somehow upset the director and be beaten. These beatings made Noah's schoolwork suffer; he would constantly be thinking of when he would finally met his parents instead of doing his work. Noah's poor grades did not help him avoid getting beaten.After a few years of taking beatings, Noah's alternate personality Nick started to emerge. Nick started to appear in spurts gradually becoming more and more severe. Until the one day, Nick fully took over; he killed the director. Nick could not stand the idea of the director beating Noah anymore because become close with his alternate personality. Noah could not handle the idea of his hands killing someone. He couldn't understand why he couldn't control his body. Noah was afraid of what could happen, if he didn't keep Nick under control. He understood nick's reasoning for killing the director but he could not fathom the idea of his body killing someone. And as soon as Nick attacked the director, another orphan called 9-1-1. Summers went to court and convinced (well, Noah did) the court that it was self defense. Noah explained how the director beat him and how the Director was about to senselessly beat him. After the winning the trial, Noah lost all his friends because Nick pushed them out of his life, making Noah become an outcast. Nick was in control, Noah could not do anything with the knowledge of his body killing someone. With Noah in a deep depression, Nick did the everyday activities and decided when they were about 18 he was going to completely take over the body. Nick succeeded. With Nick in control, Summers dropped out of high school and joined a gang. Noah remained in a state of indifference while Nick was being juvenile. Nick was their fastest member and would often break into houses, and workshops to steal information, or money. He continued his rein over the body until he made the biggest mistake he ever could have made. He killed the members of his gang, after having a dispute on who should be the leader.Summers got a life sentence, but while in jail Noah took the control. Noah made Nick promise to listen to him and give him control. After 2 years in jail, a strange man came, and came and offered Summers a way out. All he would have to do is work for a man named Nox. Weapons-Noah: Silver Dual Guns (magically infused.)Nick: Gold Chakrams Fighting Style:Noah: More supportive, he is basically a sniper Gely, but also with healing capabilities. Nick: Full offense. His speed is unmatched. He has no magical abilities. Nick will usually hold off the strong enemy, while the others take the little ones down. Other: Noah has the keen ability to analyze any situation, and come up with all possible outcomes. Sorry about the splotchy writing, and grammar. I'll edit it later.

/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Full Name: Typhus Malachai KusanagiNickname or Preferred name: Typhus or MalachaiAge: Chronological Age: 57, Physical Age: 21. ( I will explain this in the "Extra Information")Birthplace: Oosaka, JapanPhysical Appearance: Chinese-Japanese mixed blood Male, Six Foot Two inches in height, medium build.Distinguishing Feature: Facial Scar extending from the base of the chin across the right cheek to the base of the right ear.Faction: AdventurerTarots: Justice and The Wheel of FortuneBiography:Typhus Malachai Kusanagi was never supposed to be born. His mother, Mai Kusanagi, was the victim of a random rapist attack. Instead of maintaining her honour and aborting the child, Mai decided to bear the new life within her, despite the fact that it was against her will. Typhus was born on Friday, November 13th, two months premature after Mai had fallen down a flight of stairs. She gave him a Western name because she wanted her son to be different; she wanted Typhus to make a mark on the world.Typhus was left without a father early on in his life. Shinjiro Kusanagi, doubly disgraced by a disobedient wife and a bastard child that wasn't even his, divorced Mai when Typhus was only two. Left to fend for the both of them, Mai found work as a housekeeper for a local landowner. The landowner and his wife listened to Mai's story at her interview, and in a fit of compassion, offered to let her live with them on the condition that she worked on their estate. Mai gladly agreed, relieve that her son would have a chance at life.Years passed, and Typhus quickly grew to be a man of stature, strength and intelligence, passing all his studies in school and University. He disciplined his mind with the study of Mathematics and Psychology, and conditioned his body through hard work in the fields and through his daily Kendo Practice. Typhus showed great promise in this martial art, eventually rising to the level of a Third- black belt by the age of 17. By 19, he was beyond belts. When Typhus was 21 years old, he entered in the National Kendo Grandmaster Competition, and made it to the finals after beating five other men. The final match was against a foreigner who used a strangely shaped sword. If Typhus did not know any better, he could have sworn the sheath of the sword looked like an umbrella...The battle between Typhus and the Foreigner lasted over fourty minutes without stopping, both men wearing each other down. Typhus eventually emerged victorious after dealing two cuts to the mans lower legs, nearly severing the tendons. The man conceded defeat, but in a fit of jealous rage, swept up his sword and cut Typhus across the face. Typhus, by sheer reflex, stepped back, turned his wrist and brought his sword down in a clean stroke that beheaded the man. On that day, Typhus was thereby disowned by the Kendo community for killing a man in competition, which was forbidden.For the next 36 years, Typhus payed for his mistake. Having lost his status as Kendo Grandmaster, he had no motivation in life. He lived day by day, working for various farmers who would hire him. He put away his sword, and never took it up again, until one day, a strange woman came to him. She spoke no Japanese, but by some trickery, spoke with images directly into his mind. The woman wore a hooded cloak, but it was not enough to completely conceal her. Her skin was white as porcelain, and her eyes, although shadowed, were as blue as the sky. Her hair was white, not from age, but had the healthy sheen of that of a young woman. From the images she showed him, Typhus concluded that she was asking him to come with her. As he was about to ask where, the stranger lifted her hand towards him. A hot, dizzy feeling overcame Typhus as he passed into unconsciousness. coloro:#FF0000/coloroGOOD GOD, I've written a lot O_O. Take what you want from this, I am just going to get to the point: When Typhus wakes up, he's wherever you want him to be in the story.colorc/colorcPersonality: Patient and knowledgeable, Typhus often seeks to correct simple mistakes made by others. With a clear understanding of mathematics and logic, along with his masterful understanding of human behaviour, Typhus will predict, often correctly, the strengths, weaknesses and fears of an individual after speaking with them for a few minutes. Typhus is almost always serious, but has a habit of hitting the bottle whenever things go awry. When he is drunk, his personality is literally turned upside down, and he develops a hot temper and a loose tongue.Weapons:sizeo:4/sizeo 草薙の剣sizec/sizec Kusanagi no TsurugiAn overly-long Katana. 1.5m in length, 3 fingers wide. The blade itself is Watered Black Steel, a metallurgical mix created by Typhus himself. The metal uses an unnaturally large amount of Carbon in the forging process, giving the blade increased flexibility and the signature Black colour. Inscribed along the length of the blade are the words : sizeo:4/sizeo私は日本の刀。にほんのてきに死去を上げるsizec/sizec I am the Blade of Japan. To Japan's enemies, I give Death. The hilt is made of hardened Sakura-wood with black cloth wrapping. Under the wrapping is a small metal plate with his family name inscribed on it. His family was named after this sword, which was their heirloom.sizeo:4/sizeo白刀sizec/sizec Shiro To, White KnifeA small , or dagger. The blade of this dagger is made simply from Watered-Steel, and is only about a foot in length. The hilt is made of ivory, with jade helixes twisting up all the way to the base of the blade. Typhus uses this blade when fighting with Kusanagi is too difficult. Often, Typhus will use this as a parrying dagger in his left hand while he wields Kusanagi in his right. The two blades can also be attatched to each other by overlapping the hilts, so that the smaller blade acts as an extension from Kusanagi's hilt.Fighting Style:Typhus' sword fighting style makes the most of the versatility of his two swords. He has four Forms that he employs, each using Kusanagi and Shiro in different combinations.coloro:#FF0000/coloroTyphus' First Form is when he is using Kusanagi alone. He will employ many two-handed slashes, and will often link up four or five slashes before finishing a combination with a lunge or stab.colorc/colorccoloro:#696969/coloroTyphus' Second Form uses only Shiro. Holding Shiro in a reverse grip, he will use Shiro for nothing but defense, instead relying on kicks and punches to throw his opponent off balance before finishing him off in one opening with Shiro.colorc/colorccoloro:#0000FF/coloroTyphus' Third Form is used when Typhus has both blades out. He will hold Shiro in a reverse grip, and Shiro will be used as a finisher and parrying dagger while he uses Kusanagi to attack and find weaknesses in an enemy's defense. Typhus will use this Form when he is involved in large-scale confrontations, or when he and several party members are all engaged and out-numbered.colorc/colorccoloro:#FF00FF/coloroTyphus' Fourth and final Form combines Shiro and Kusanagi at the hilt, giving Typhus a dual-bladed sword that is over 2m in full length, with a 1.5m blade on one end, and a 30 cm blade on the other. Typhus will use this Shiro-Kusanagi combo only when he is fighting alone, and the pole-arm style attacks that he uses in this form are dangerous to the point that his allies may get injured. In this Form, Typhus employs many over-head swings and long, low sweeping strikes at the enemy's legs. When an opening presents itself, Typhus will use the Shiro end of this blade to stab under his enemy's chin, which is his signature killing move.colorc/colorcDeath: Preferably no, but if you feel the need to kill him off, please let him die in battle, among many enemies. It's how he would have liked to go out.Love Preferences?: Yes. Preferably some Asian woman who doesn't mind spending her time with a strong/silent type guy who looks 21 but actually is 57 (make me think of LOTR... "You are one of the Dunedain, blessed by Numenor with long life...")Extra Information: The reason why there is a discrepancy in Typhus' Physical and Chronological age is because the woman who transported him across timelines searched his memories and found his strongest ones tied to when he was 21.

But you have to remember that they have power to do WHATEVER they want. Pulling strings to make your life even more worthless and hard, so that you will hate the world that much more and want to change it is really easy for them to do. The closer the timeline is to their destruction by the Strangers, the most control they have... so you can except heavy recruiting by the Strangers towards the destruction of timeline.EDIT:(as you can see by the caps, it is very important edit)@MakonaOkay... let me get this straight.... your character is LINKED with the Hermit, right?Hmmm.... And I am ASSUMING that you didn't use the hermit tarot that I created. Hermit tarot that I created doesn't have daggers, and its staff is basically a torch of its own. But that is amendable...And... you seemed to be completely different from being a human... gah! Do I need to put "Race" as a category as well? It is great that I am getting interesting characters... that spices up my story, which I always like... but wow... (I so far have... an alien Adventurer, multi-persona Stranger, and... pseudo-Samurai Adventurer? Yah, variations) I half expected lame characters, but this is above and beyond my expectations.... amazing...Okay, Mokona, here's a deal. I didn't clarify that Tarots can ONLY exist in one world before I asked your character, so it is explainable. But your character is unique enough that I want it, so I have a deal.Since your character lived in a small timeline consisting ONLY of himself and Hermit, I will permit an extra "Hermit" tarot in your timeline. I call it Hermit for simplicity... I'll change its name when Bearer sees Adrian stating that he cannot be a tarot because he is from another timeline. He will have the same limitations as tarots, so it doesn't kill the fairness, but this Hermit would be unique compared to other tarots... in other words, not a tarot, but classified as tarot. I'll work on details now.FYI:You can expect Makona to be one of FEW exceptions. Since I'm involving quite a few worlds, having different race of helpers besides tarots is possible, but I will hate getting request like... "I want my tarot to be special.... make me "GOD" tarot, would ya?!"So unless your character seems like it is usable and vital, I won't make an exception like this... seriously, Makona, couldn't you make a simple character? It is great and all.. but this just makes my work a bit harde

1. Adrien is linked to the Hermit, and it is the one that you created. Just because a character is like another doesn't mean that it is the same character.2. Adrien is not an alien. They simply have extremely strange and seemingly impossible birth defects.3. I changed the name to make it make more sense. Adrien now has no last name and has an 'e' replacing the second 'a'. Feel free to change that though, the name isn't that special.4. Mokona. Read your FYI again, and say out loud. Twice. MO-K

/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> No, really, I liked your idea (or is it my idea? Who knows...) of being an individual of different timeline. But yes, reading back, I see that you wanted your character to be an outcast of an Society, and since my conception was that there was no society... I suppose I assumed too much.Okay, I'm sorry to ask this, but I need you to change a few things. You can still keep your ideas... well, all but one... but you have to swap some order of events.1) Cool, he don't know your parents. Cool, you have antisocial character. But Not Cool, your character having impossible birth defects. Can you make it so that Adrien obtains the power of illumination and corruption AFTER meeting with Hermit? That will make him more of Earthly origin, because I prefer to keep Earthly Adventurers within the scope of normality.2) Okay, everything is great, but I either you are favoring Geocentricism or I am not getting your sentence "Got lost in timelines by wandering over the edge of their universe, which was comprised solely of their flat planet." Elaborate or change, please.That's everything. Making your Hermit Geo-Tarot doesn't sound too bad either. So can you please help me?Oh and... sorry!!!! I was in a rush (After bombarding of questions, I thought my Glossary was at fault, so I spent entire morning fixing and adding stuff.) to write you a comment!!!sizeo:20/sizeoMO-KO-NA!!!!MO-KO-NA!!!!sizec/sizec
