Fate: Sign Up and Discussion

Villainy works wonderfully for me, if that is OK. I can't really see an embodiment of the Devil sticking with one faction anyway. XD;

If nobody else shows an interest, I'll take Death as well then~
 
Death's been taken, I'm afraid. I've just been slow to update the first post. The roles remaining are:

The Priestess
The Hierophant
Justice
The Hermit
Strength
Temperance
The Moon
Judgment.
 
I really want to take part as the priestess, but you'd have to bear with me I'm afraid, I don't RP as much as you lot.

:elmo:
 
So long as you stick to the five line minimum, you're in! :lew: I assume you'll fill a Pentacles spot.
 
Considering you're a Cup, the element of water is under your control. So yeah XD.

Whichever one you like. Just include it in your bio. ^_^
 
Safe assumption. XD

Is it alright if my two characters have a history? Justice attempting to bring the Devil to justice appeals to me, and it'll give me something to write about in my bio. XD;
Also, to confirm: will my Justice have her Arcana when the RP starts, or will I need to obtain it?
 
That's totally fine Martel. And your characters will have their arcana from the start. Just include how in their history.
 
Will do. Thanks for the clarification.

My profiles will be up by tomorrow morning~
 
My character killed his father with his own hands to gain control of the Arcana. How evil is that? -__-

Wait I just noticed this is Father's Weekend...maybe I should edit that... o_O
(I took the tuxedo section from other character Nathan because describing a tuxedo all over again is...well redundant)

I didn't make him George Bush, but I mentioned he knows him. :wacky:

Real Name: George Kenneth Seals
Ethnicity: American
Birthplace: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Party: Democrat

Arcana: The Emperor
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"

Cairn is a middle age man whose body has endured the many effects of war. Since he was part of the Infantry of the US Army during his early years, his body and mind were always submitted to constant training. The muscles of his back, arms and legs are greatly defined, thus allowing him to wear heavy equipment. His face shows a few signs of aging, his eye brows are slightly broad, and he has a cold expression on his face. His nose is middle sized, round at the tip, as a reference, if his mouth is 1 1/2 inches wide when being serious; his nose is about an half an inch wide. His mouth is fairly broad, his upper lip thinner than the lower lip. He has strong, dexterous hands and wears his hair short. The hair is only long enough to partially cover the right part of his forehead, though most of it is combed to the back. His ears are small and round.

Attire:
His formal wear of preference is a black lounge suit (the fabric of his suit is classified as S or choice wool). First we have the black single breasted jacket which he keeps buttoned at all times (this coat has a peaked lapel, button holes on the lapels for decorative emblems, and two inner and two outer pockets and one ticket pocket above left pocket in which he keeps a simple silver pen inside. With this he wears a black half-Windsor knot (a necktie with the only difference that produces a triangular knot that the original Windsor knot necktie lacks). Next he has a simple white collar shirt and a black waistcoat which has two pockets, three silver buttons (which have the image of a lion engraved on their surface), and a silver pocket watch which he keeps on his left pocket (the pocket watch is simple in design, with only the engraving of a hawk and a snake fighting on the surface of one of the sides, inside the watch we have the picture of his family on one side and a clock with roman numbers on the other). The waist coat is single breasted, and it has dark silver vertical lines going from top to bottom.

Below his waist we have a matching black trouser which is made of the same fabric of the jacket and the waistcoat. This trouser has several belt loops, two pockets, a pleat and a fly, and is made to fit Nathan giving him a neat and elegant slim appearance. He also wears a black leather belt (the buckle of the belt is rectangular in shape, with a small lion engraved on middle. Georges socks also match the trouser colour and are quite comfortable with his black Gibson shoes. Finally, since George’s suit was made by a tailor to fit his size without restricting movement, he will have little problem with movement in most situations (but sure will be pissed if you ruin his suit).
Weaponry:
-Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle is a large caliber gas-operated, semi-automatic pistol. The Desert Eagle is fed with a detachable box magazine. Magazine capacity is 9 rounds in .357 Magnum, 8 rounds in .44 Magnum, and 7 rounds in .50 AE. The Desert Eagle's barrel features polygonal rifling. The pistol is mainly used for sport, target shooting, and hunting.

-Golden Desert Eagle: A more powerful variant of his main Desert Eagle. It has faster shooting and reloading, taking less than 10 seconds to unleash 10 bullets on a target. It has higher ammunition capacity, enhanced from 9 rounds to 15 rounds each magazine.

-Desert Eagle Magazine: each hold rounds for reloading, one with 9 rounds capacity for the normal Desert Eagle, and the other with 15 rounds for the Golden Desert Eagle. It uses .440 magnum caliber made by the Cor-bon Company. In designing the .440, Cor-bon created a lighter recoiling round with as much or greater penetrating power than the .44 Magnum. The round has a flatter trajectory, and leaves the barrel faster than either the .50 AE or the .44 Mag. However, the cartridge has never taken off, and has remains fairly expensive.

Personality:

Character Motto [Optional]:
-"Si vis pacem, para bellum..."/"If you want peace, prepare for war..."
-"Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer."
-"Loyalty is not a right, its our duty."


Backstory: George was born in June 23, 1962 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania near the end of the Cold War. His parents are Peter Seals, an ex-officer of the US Army who fought in the Cold War and would later on become a prominent US Senator, and Amelia Richardson York, who is now a retired teacher. Little George grew up a mid-class life, though he spent most of his time dreaming about becoming a soldier like his father. His father taught him that no matter how sad he felt, a true soldier would never allow his feelings to be so easily reflected on his performance, that a soldier must never allow the heart to blind reasoning, and that a soldier lives to protect. Living up to these teachings, George worked hard to get the best grades in school, and felt deception and grief each time he seemed to be "failing"at his work. As soon as he graduated from the Lincoln High School (his father insisted that his son had to study in the same school as he did) George began his carrier as part of the US Army, and participated in numerous missions associated with espionage, tactics and rescue squads. Three years he served as he ranked up through the ranks, was transferred to the Marines and was trained as a weapon specialist, also becoming a renown sharpshooter.Years later after that, George retired from the Marine Corps, his excuse was saying that he wished to add some peace and balance to his life but later on he rejoined the Army to serve as a Drill Sargent, sharing his experience with the rookies . He continued to work as a Training Instructor in the Army from 2003 to 2007 during the actual war in Iraq against "terrorism". Trying to part ways with his military life and wishing to take a more diplomatic role, George retired once again intending to run for a political career. At some point during 2008, George's father fell terribly ill, forcing him to postpone his political career.

In his deathbed, his father told him the reason why his family has had political and military success throughout the years by revealing a single "Tarot Card". The card was the number IV, The Emperor card, and was kept inside a small golden chest by his father. Intrigued, George asked his father how come a card would bring fortune to his life and his father felt enraged by his son's ignorance. His father explained that this was no ordinary card, but it represented the power of many political figures throughout history. In his tale, his father explained that he obtained it during the Cold War in the possession of a enemy soldier. Both men fought with combat knives and fists but in the end, it was George's father who emerged victorious by stabbing the soldier in the chest with his knife.

The dying man then explained how the wounded soldier pulled a single Tarot Card from his sleeve. Confused, Greco was about to deliver the finishing blow but the wounded soldier begged for his life telling him that he would give him this card. Greco was surprised and was ready to ignore the soldier's pleas until the soldier revealed that the card held the power of the world's most powerful monarchs. He told him that this very card was the reason why people like Henry VIII, Ivan The Terrible and even Adolf Hitler managed to be so politically successful yet were drawn to a terrible demise. The power of the card gave the owner the ability to rule over others, as well as other unexplored abilities unknown to both the wounded soldier and George's father.

Greco, who was exhausted after the fight, took the card and decided to leave the wounded soldier to the mercy of nature. Before leaving, Greco examined the card and then, he noticed that the wounded soldier had disappeared, almost as if the ground itself swallowed him.

George was quite skeptical to his father's tale, but then his father also explained that after he quit the war, his life took a drastic turn. Suddenly his father became successful with the rise of the war-economy even managing to reach the US Senate and in such position for years. Suddenly people of influence approached him, having met figures like Edward Kennedy, George Bush, and Barak Obama.

However, just as he was prepared to pass on the card to his son, an inexplicable rage possessed him. Greco then picked up his old LeMat 1856 revolver and aimed it at his son. George desperately tried to convince his father to put the gun down only ending provoking him to shoot. Hopefully, George managed to dodge the gunshots. As soon as his father ran out of ammo, George ran towards his father and effectively disarmed him. He then stared at the Tarot Card in his possession and felt compelled to seize it. The result was a heated struggle with his own father culminating in George asphyxiating him to death with a pillow. In that moment, George felt no remorse, no pain, he only wanted power, more than he could ever dream to have.

Strangely enough, no one could find the truth behind the death of the old senator and months later, George was granted the same position of his father by the President himself. How and why this promotion to the Congress happened lies in mysteries...

I'm slightly confused like Channy and Gavin...:rage:

And who filled the other wand position? O.O I'll get the Bio up today. I'll be using the character I made for your other RP...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. xD

Looking at Cole's Bio brought up something. What period is this set in? His seems to be modern day 2000-something. Are we RPing in our own modern world Earth? And if it is, modern day Earth.. where is all this magic and lore coming from?

/moreconfusion
 
It's modern day, but sort of secret society stuff that only a select few know of. It's very cloak and dagger.
 
oic. So not really mythical fantasy like setting... Should we be affiliated with gangs an the like? Or do our factions act like a gangish family of magical powers sort of thing?

Don't worry, at first I also was on the impression of the setting being in medieval times. Now now, this one could prove to be an interesting RP if it is dark themed. If you want, you can name my character in your bio so long as you explain how they knew each other.

Bear in mind that:
1) He is now an important political figure.
2) I intend him to run for the next Presidential Election if the RP lasts that long. :wacky:
3) He works with the Government, and probably will have connections in the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon. I'll expand how later on. :P
4) He won't mind if you are Republican :monster:
 
Yeah that'd be all well and good if we were in the same faction and the like. :monster: You may be useless to me.

WHERE ARE THE OTHER CUPS???? :rage:
