Can I reserve the Temperant Tarot, as he rose to power in his homeland through brutality and self-discipline?

 

[spoiler=The Northern King] Felgrand The Disgraced Warlord, Ulfr Pendragon

Male

32 Years old

Tarot Card: The Temperate Tarot

[spoiler=Appearance]

He resembles The Dragon Knight of Creation sans the sword. Beneath his helmet, he is clean shaven, has long brown hair and green eyes

 

 

[spoiler=Backstory]Felgrand was born as Ulfr Pendragon, far to the north of the Kingdom of Zaddicus, to a tribe of duelists eking out a life of struggle and clan warfare. It didn’t take long for his skill at dueling to place him as the head of his tribe, but he wanted more. Conquering all of the northern tribes he now brands himself King, and sets his sights upon conquering the southern Empire. Woe betide he who stands in the way of the mighty conqueror of the North.

 

It was not to be however: Ulfr was bested in combat by Zaddicus himself, to whom he relinquished his Kingdom in the hope that his people would prosper under his strength, and offered mercy and a place by the Emperor's side as his enforcer, complete with a mysterious Tarot card. He contemplated this turn of events, wondering why, if only the strong should survive, he had not been slain by a superior duelist. And so, the would-be conqueror pledged to atone for his actions by leading his new master's armies, sparing those he defeated, seeking to unite the world under a banner of forgiveness, mercy and peace.

 

 

[spoiler=Personality] Once ruthless and cruel, his humbling loss taught Ulfr the meaning of mercy. Seeking forgiveness himself, the once-King is swift to offer mercy to the crushed, though he will not hesitate to destroy those who threaten the innocent as he once had. He is wholly convinced of the righteousness of his master's conquest, believing that a short war with minimal casualties would be a fair price to pay for the promise of a lasting peace.

 

 

[spoiler=Deck] - He uses a fairly standard Deck focusing on Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand The Deck also includes Heavy Draw Power and “Amorphage Goliath” for anti-extra Deck strategies

Czar Dragon

Light Level 1

Dragon/Tuner/Effect

500/500

This monster is Level 8 while in the Graveyard. Once per turn, when this monster is sent to the Graveyard, you can send 1 Dragon-type monster on the Field or in your Hand to the Graveyard: Special Summon this monster. When this monster is special summoned by its own effect, you can reduce the Level of all other currently face-up monsters by 1.

 

Divine Dragon Lord Arkbrave

Light Level 7

Dragon/Synchro/Effect

2700/2500

1 tuner + 1 or more Non-tuner Dragon-type monsters

When this monster is Special Summoned: Special Summon 1 level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster other than "Divine Dragon Lord Arkbrave" from the Graveyard. When this monster is sent to the Graveyard, add 1 Dragon-type tuner monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your Hand.

 

Divine Dragon Lord Caesar

Light Level 8

Dragon/Synchro/Effect

3400/3400

2 Dragon-type tuner monsters + 1 Synchro monster [/background][/size][/font][/color]

When this monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls or in their Graveyard: Banish it, then this card gains ATK equal to the banished monster's ATK.

 

 

interesting twist, being defeated by someone so similar to himself in their method of rule changed his moral views? i like it, plus having previously dueled Zaddicus himself, he may be incredibly useful to the other Tarot holders later on. Accepted

[0PxPz0]

I'd like to get a one or two characters opposing Zaddicus before starting but if everyone's ready we can start soon

[)e//!s0P]

I'm working on a remixed version of Jordan from the last roleplay. Reserving the Towering Tarot

[0PxPz0]

[Libracor]

I’m ready

[0PxPz0]

the fates have begun to shift, your first post should be an introduction to the others as well as showing off your Tarot and explaining how you got it in either a flashback or just outright telling the others.

the gold Zaddicus has given the group can be used a certain number of times to avoid certain situations, there is no count of the actual gold pieces but I will inform the group when they've run out

[spoiler=The Tormented One]

Name Jordan Carter

Gender Female

Age 19

Tarot Card Towering Tarot

[spoiler=Appearance] A pale caucasian woman, 6-7, Orange Brown short Hair, a black dress modified for combat, with a short skirt equipped with a Longsword, custom crafted to look like long strands of shadows put together. She has this haunted look in her eyes, and is cold to the touch. She wears a mask, one that looks like El Shaddoll Construct’s face.

 

[spoiler=Backstory] Jordan was once a happy girl. She lived on her farm with her Family, were she worked diligently. However, she wondered about the outside world. She wished she could see the world. But as they say, be careful what you wish for.

One day, about s few days  she woke up in a void of blackness. She saw her home, her family, her everything get tangled in threads of black shadows. Then, from the shadows a light appeared, and she saw a weird sphere like machination. A creature standing near this creation in a relaxed smooth voice began telling Jordan her story. Of her death during her rebellion, at the hands of the king himself. Then she snapped her fingers, and shadowy strands entangled Jordan. She turned, showing her true face. “I AM EL SHADDOLL CONSTRUCT! AND UNTIL YOU CAUSE HIS DEATH, YOUR HOME, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR VERY SOUL, IS MINE!” She handed Jordan her new deck, put a sword on her belt, and returned her to the real world. Now she begins her search for the tyrant, now with “The Towering Tarot”.

 

[spoiler=Personality] Jordan is a quiet and kind individual, with only one negative emotion: Hatred for Zaddicus. She hopes to be free of El Shadoll Construct, and wishes she never was given her tarot. However, I said individual. Part of Jordan’s Soul is rapped in cords of shadow, giving El Shadoll Construct the ability to Possess Jordan, usually after a successful activation of “Sinister Shadow Games”. El Shaddoll Construct is hateful and cunning, only desiring to make Zaddicus Suffer.

 

Deck - Jordan Runs 2 Decks, a “Yang Zing” deck, and also a “Shaddoll” Deck.

The Tower is a disruption of a plan, most see this card as a sign of something negative. It may be a warning but it is also a sign of release, a time to rebuild. Already Accepted.

[Tinkerer]

I think I'ma make my next post after @ makes theirs.  Don't want 'em to fall behind.

that reminds me, don't wait around for Zaddicus, he's given you everything he wants to and expects everyone to start searching Erast

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

[spoiler=The Hierophant]

"Do not be mistaken, I am but the King's underling. 'All is according to his will'."

Name: Alfonso de Borgiani IV
Gender: Male
Age: Appears as a man in his late 20s/Early 30s, hints at possibly being much older. 
Tarot: V - The Hierophant

[spoiler=Appearance]

Alfonso imposes a towering silhouette upon those he graces with his presence, standing at a menacing 194 cms tall. However, due to his occupation as an occultist, his physical build is nothing to remark. He is always dressed from head to toe in black clothes, with a black occultist robe covering his formal wear underneath, while a monocle and cane completes his look. Sometimes he can also be seen with a magician's hat adorning his silver hair, further deepening his mysterious allure.

 

 

[spoiler=Personality]

A man of mystery, that's who Alfonso is. Not many people knows what goes through his head, and he prefers to keep it that way. He is a tricky person, speaking in riddles and prefers to avoid directly addressing those he speaks to. It is known that he is fiercely loyal to Emperor Zaddicus, executing all of his lord's plans as perfectly and brilliantly as possible, seemingly with little to no remorse for his actions. Alfonso's polite, soft-spoken and courteous public personality hides a self-centered, cold and aloof man. He sees the lives of others as nothing more than puppets for him to manipulate, pieces in a game of chess for ultimate domination. 

 

Despite appearing to be completely unfazed by most things around him, always maintaining a confident smirk or cold gaze, there are a few things that can rub him the wrong way. For one, disobedience and rebellion always gets a rise out of him, as well as things falling out of order in general. He despises strong-willed people and people who think they can best his intelligence, seeing them as hindrances to his machinations and schemes, and would often get sidetracked in order to remove such 'obstacles.'

 

Alfonso is very much a self-centered person, interested only in furthering his own agendas while caring very little for the troubles of others. He seeks to gain absolute knowledge over everything in the world, before eventually ruling over it as its absolute omniscient king.

 

 

[spoiler=Backstory]

To most people, he is Alfonso Medici de Borgiani the Fourth, the fourth generation head of the Borgiani family of occultists and summoners, a family who's historically been involved in the royal court of Predraelia, earning them the title of "Aide of Kings". Due to the secretive nature of the family, not many of its members are known to the public, and as such, the true identity of its head is not known to anyone, not even the past kings and emperors of Predraelia.

Alfonso Medici de Borgiani was also Aleister de Borgiani I, the first head of the family, as well as the second and third heads as well. Aleister who started out life as a simple summoner 4 generations ago in Predraelia, one notorious for an insatiable thirst for knowledge. After several goes at experimentation with spirits and alchemy, Aleister made a contract to gain the wisdom and soul of a dragon, granting long life and youth that would last a milennia, at the cost of robbing him of his ability to form attachments, be it material or emotional. Aleister, now with wisdom and intelligence that would normally take a lifetime of studying and research to accumulate, quickly rose through the ranks of the court, eventually becoming the king's right-hand man. Whenever an order is to be carried out that the citizens must not know of, Alfonso is tasked with completing that order. Not only that, he also enjoys a position high enough where his words are taken into great consideration by the kings. When a king dies or a succession happens, he would take a half decade away from public eye to change his appearance, before once again reappearing before the new king as the next generation's head.

 

This continued through four kings, before Zaddicus suddenly usurped the throne and became king. Impressed by his strength, Aleister, or otherwise known as Alfonso, introduced himself to the new king as the previous king's closest aid. To him, Zaddicus's power could be used as a stepping stone towards expanding his scope of influence, towards further domination of the world. Now with the Tarot of the Hierophant, he awaits the development and discovery of the other Tarots, scheming in the background to eventually usurp the throne and dispose of Zaddicus while maintaining a persona of that of a loyal vassal.

 

Deck: Drag-, an archetype of Pendulum Ritual monsters focused on searching each other out for consistency, as well as negating the other player's effects.

The Hierophant is about authority, it also tellss of a time to take council, your character's embodies that area as well as the reverse position (mistrust), I do have a few in-universe notes however. First the idea of making deals with powerful spirits is uncommon but not unusual (it's even rumored Zaddicus' has done this to obtain his current power), second, while we haven't been outside the capital to see it yet, there are near infinite religious groups that worship particularly powerful spirits similar to gods (Achen, Tinkerer's character grew up in such a church) so "occult" isn't really a term used in this world. Third Zaddicus would never trust someone from the previous rulers court, part of the reason he's so hated (although I haven't gotten into it yet I intend to once everyone enters the actual capital) is that he's a foreigner; had someone brought it up I would have mentioned how all of Zaddicus' servants and staff, as well as his most trusted allies, have the same distinctive black hair and red eyes of Culchethians as him. Lastly you didn't explain how Alfonso came across his Tarot (several people have gone with Zaddicus just giving it to them, I'd prefer something different). Edits needed. I see no problem with your cards and am excited to see how you choose to portray Ritual monsters in this setting though.

King and Tinkerer (and Jellis if you'd like to) please post soon

[The Frost King]

Sorry it took me a while to post. I've been a little busy recently.

[0PxPz0]

I get that people have other stuff to do and all that but it would be much appreciated to see more IC posting

[Tinkerer]

Will definitely make a post tomorrow.

[0PxPz0]

really don't want to have to keep telling everyone to post but . . .

[)e//!s0P]

I'm working on it.

[0PxPz0]

not a big deal but a quick note for Tinkerer Bartholomew Melon, spells and traps (more commonly referred to as magic when speaking of both in the world of TFR) aren't traditionally spirits, ones that take the form of monsters like Metal reflect slime, shape sister, and all the Major Arcana for the Tarots are the exception.

[Tinkerer]

Will make a post this evening hopefully.  Would like to see a post from @@The Frost King ideally, though.

[The Frost King]

Sorry it took so long for me to post. I've been a bit busy plus I've been having a little writer's block when it came to writing my post.

[0PxPz0]

waiting on @The Frost King to forward the plot, would also like Libracor to post but that's not as relevant

[The Frost King]

I've been a bit busy lately but I'm actually planning on making a post tomorrow.
