So, some of us were talking about this on IRC, and decided that this warrants a thread.
If Tgchan has its own deck of tarot cards, who would be on each major arcana?

So far we've got James Baxter from Ouroboros for the Fool, Chuck from Coxwette for The Devil, Poly from Enemy Quest for High Priestess, Nate from Conspiracy of Wasps for The Hermit, and Bruco and Strela from Bruco and Strela Gets Married for The Lovers.

Maybe limit it to a character from a quest, so as to not crowd the deck. I myself have drawn Baxter as the Fool, McDowd as Justice, and Millie as Strength, but I only submit Baxter in this deck.

Discuss who will become what card in this thread!

Also a handy guide of all the Major Arcanas for your perusal:
>0 - The Fool: James Baxter (Ouroboros)
>1 - The Magician:
>2 - The High Priestess: Poly (Enemy Quest)
>3 - The Empress:
>4 - The Emperor:
>5 - The Hierophant:
>6 - The Lovers: Bruco & Strela (Bruco & Strela Gets Married)
>7 - The Chariot:
>8 (or 11) - Justice:
>9 - The Hermit: Nate (Conspiracy of Wasps)
>10 - Wheel of Fortune:
>11 (or 8) - Strength:
>12 - Hanged Man:
>13 - Death:
>14 - Temperance:
>15 - The Devil: Chuck (A Little Town Called Coxwette)
>16 - The Tower:
>17 - The Star:
>18 - The Moon:
>19 - The Sun:
>20 - Judgement:
>21 - The World:

Ven (from Deep) is The Moon. Perfect fit.

Welp looks like interpretations for tarot cards can differ drastically. Here's more:
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/
https://tarotelements.com/tarot-card-meanings/major-arcana/

The Empress: Astara fits quite well.
Emperor: a tough one. Savior from Unnatural Selection? I might think of a better fit later.
Heirophant: How about Bika? Conformity and knowledge.
The Chariot: I'll agree with Hugo.
Justice: How about Oren?
Wheel of Fortune: Pavane?
Strength: On IRC, Buddy from TCP was said to work. Or Alison from Unnatural Selection. I personally think Alice from Bloom works well here. Strength is about sharpness of mind and power of body combining to create a greater strength, along with passions related to both. Plus, she represents both the Maiden and the Beast.
Hanged Man: how about The Creator?

I'll do more later, it's getting late.

Death: Sev-3 works here, yeah.
Temperance: I don't like Alison for this as much anymore. Temperance is more about balance and moderation than hope and negotiation. Mixing opposites... wait, of course. VENJI! Venji and Roz might work ok for Strength too, but I can't think of anyone else for Temperance.
The Tower: Well Tory works pretty well.
The Star: Alison fits this very very well. The Star is about hope, inspiration, kindness, peace... all these fit.
The Moon: Ven, as stated. However, Katherine (from Katherine Quest) could work here too.
The Sun: Haha, "nameless peon" from Huge Quest could qualify here. There might be a better fit somewhere...
Judgement: Hmm, this card is about rebirth and forgiving the mistakes of the past so that heaven can be reached. How about Typhon from Reformation? He was reborn and is haunted by his past and the past of the very world itself, which he (and the world) must come to terms with to move forwards into a brighter future.
The World: Chee! She is the most accomplished character that there is (I think), and through her actions an entire world was born.

I actually tried to do something like this a long time ago! And there's actually one I was working on before this thread appeared. So, if there's some sort of one-per thing going, I'd like to reserve the Empress, though I may take some time with it.

Well, maybe for the initial deck, but we could always have multiple decks later on. Just draw what you feel like!

That's the stuff.

>>103075
Err... how? The Hanged Man is about self-sacrifice and giving up control in order to see the world from a new perspective and gain wisdom from that. I guess you could argue that Sev fits the "suspension"(he's not really alive or dead) and "traitor" symbolism as well as reversal(attempting to retire as a hitman). However Hanged Man is very solidly a card about inaction and letting go, things which Sev don't really mesh with. Unless those parts would be fulfilled when he retires and cuts ties?

No, I'd say Strength isn't a good fit for Alice since she's based around having a fundamental instability. It's not so much a question of if she will fail as it is how. I'd argue The Hanged Man or perhaps The Moon or Death are better fits.

I still like the idea of Lowry as Temperance even though it is clearly the reverse, but that's just me.

If a character represents the inverse meaning of the card, shouldn't the character be right side up when the card is reversed?

Generally both the card and figure are upside-down for inverted tarots. Pic for reference. Then again, generally the tarots have the same figures on the cards, since the inverted tarots are just the same cards flipped around IRL.

I know Death is taken but Khlar would make a pretty good candidate. Princess Photon could be strength.

This is a super cool thread! Seeing these cards of characters is so cool.

I have Toy from Rebirth for the Fool. Beginning an adventure, and full of innocence, naivete, and wonder. Also foolish. Even has that hole in the chest, reminds me of a zero like the fool zero.

Nem was designed to be XIII:DEATH from the very start so it's only appropriate she be on my Tarot.

It's especially poetic considering Nem's Quest arose as a way to focus my energy after my wife Max passed away, which is why her quest dealt with so many themes of change and death.

Since >>102995 mentioned the player collective as being pretty close to Wheel of Fortune, how about Void from TCP for it? They pretty much represent the collective as a whole, and they're pretty accurate, creating an entire world (i.e. life cycles).
