Cape and Cowl Tarot- Stolen Lovingly From Gabbie
Since we’re about to start the New Year, it seems like a good time to do a tarot thing. The tarot is a pack of cards that can be used in divination and to name House of the Dead bosses, with each card representing certain attributes and trends.
I'm going to post threads for each card and a brief description of what it means, and you can reply to a thread with a character (yours, or someone else's) you think fits that card. You can second people's suggestions, suggest different things (e.g.: "Actually I think [blah blah] would be better suited to [blah] card"), and just discuss this stuff. Also feel free to suggest characters to multiple cards (like A to Justice and the World, or whatever), or nominate more than one of your characters to various cards. Alternatively, you can do it in reverse: make a thread for your character for suggestions on applicable cards.
Serious bonus points for any artistic types who are willing to actually draw a C&C tarot card(s).
For reference and example, the last Cape and Cowl tarot was here. All information/card descriptions are courtesy of learntarot.com.

THE CHARIOT
using your will (being determined to succeed / focusing your intent / rising above temptation / letting nothing distract you / sustaining an effort / concentrating your energies / fixing on a goal)
asserting yourself (being ego-focused / establishing an identity / knowing who you are / feeling self-confident / having faith in yourself / looking out for your interests)
achieving hard control (mastering emotions / curbing impulses / maintaining discipline / holding in anger / getting your way / assuming the reins of power / showing authority)
Picture Julius Caesar riding his chariot triumphantly into Rome. He has defeated his enemies and conquered vast, new lands. This is the spirit of the Chariot. Card 7 represents the victories that are possible through willpower and self-mastery. A military image is appropriate for the Chariot because this card stands for the strengths associated with combat - discipline, grit, determination and assertiveness.
The Chariot represents the positive aspects of the ego. A healthy ego is one that is strong and self-assured. It knows what it wants and how to get it. We can get annoyed at someone whose ego is too healthy, but we often turn to that person to lead us through difficult moments. We know he or she won't be wishy-washy.
In readings, the Chariot often appears when hard control is or could be in evidence. At its best, hard control is not brutal, but firm and direct. It is backed up by a strong will and great confidence. The Chariot can mean self-control or control of the environment. This card also represents victory. There are many types of wins; the Chariot's is of the win-lose type. Your success comes from beating the competition to become number one. Such moments are glorious in the right circumstances.

................. Though to be fair it was Julia who had suggested this before, for Eddie. It's like she... Knew... She probably knows about this right now despite being in a different game altogether oh my god
