Thursday DE: It's written in the cards

[bjornwilde]

Let's say Milliways suddenly has its own version of a Tarot-like deck of cards. Each of the cards features an archetype based on a patron, past or present. The archetype does have to be one of the major arcana cards but can be in the suit cards as well.

What is your pup's archetype? Any hints as to meanings or symbolism within the card?

ETD: Feel free to make up your own Archetypes! Sorry I forgot to include that.

Zenigata is firmly a King of Wands; Bold, hardworking, ambitious, driven -- he makes a great King of Wands. Not a passive card, it's about taking bold action, following your goals, and sweeping up people to follow you as you go. If Zenigata doesn't have this Big King of Wands energy, I don't know who does.

Lan Zhan comes in with a great Hermit energy -- all that self-directed energy, with prudence and vigilance. This is a watchful Lan Zhan, but one that grows impatient with the fact that nobody can see what he sees. Even it's negative aspects -- impulsive foolishness, isolating the self, and general emotional immaturity. Lan Zhan starts the series in Reverse, but by the end he's been righted.

Zuko, ironically enough, is spinning the Wheel of Fortune. He's seen luck in different measures guide his life, with a lot of things outside his control influencing his life. Born royalty, turned exile, luck brought him to his goal but hardship made him re-examine. Every time he was spun, he worked with what he was given and attempted to steady his course. But now he's dealing with a position where rulership is influenced once again by things outside his control, and he's got to roll with it, working to make sure luck -- both good and bad -- is guided by hard work and perseverance.
