RE: ACEN. Here I thought that was a shorthand for Australian Collaborative Education Network.

RE: Temperance. I can change my character if you'd like, Rosie, no harm done.

RE: Evoker. Note to self, don't attempt to joke about canon concepts when I don't even know much about.
 

Name: Anna West
Age: 21
Occupation: Owner of "The Afterlife" Night Club

Backstory:
Anna was born into a high society, her father owning one of the most successful casinos, next to the Caito, on the strip and her mother being a highly renowned museum curator. Even at a young age, she was well known for being an "eccentric" child by her collection of nannies and even the few West family members. If not for her looks, pale white hair and brilliant purple iries, than her vengeful personality scared nearly half of her family's help away. Something about the young child was unsettling, even her mother often felt put off by Anna. As she grew older and was put into a private boarding school, there were many conferences that led up to young Anna being privately tutored and home-bound. Anna never had the knack of being able to make friends, she had more of a taste of cruelty or punishing those who were unkind to her.

On Anna's 17th birthday, Sylvia West died of consumption. The entire West household was in ruins, save for the very legacy of the late Sylvia. Death never have effecting Anna, even her mother's death was dealt with cooly. Instead she chose to spend the night club hopping with some of the more unsavory souls of Las Vegas. Eventually, her father just let Anna to her own devices only forcing her to promise one thing to him. She must never speak her mother's name in vain. Seemed easy enough at the time. Though as time sped on, something in Anna's personality darkened to some extent. She became more cruel and cold, her thoughts often wandering to the woman who was always loved but never showed much interest in her own child. The young girl became haunted constantly by her mother. Quite literally. Visions and dreams of Anna's mother cruelly took root in Anna's head, and when it couldn't get any worse. The vision of Sylvia West appeared to her. At first it was docile glowing and fading, but soon the woman began to bitterly weep at the foot of Anna's bed. Dark circles became a new trend for Miss West.

Since then, Anna has learned to deal with her mother's hauntings, but was now convinced that she somehow managed to kill her mother. With such a strong passion she felt the darkness in her heart of the happiness it caused her when she thought of the wishful thinking of her teenage years causing her mother to croak. Anna is much more than a touch insane in the eyes of others, but in truth she is able to see things others cannot even though she is blind to what it is herself. Seeing this sickness in Anna's mind, Alistair bought and refurbished a nightclub on the strip for Anna to run and hopefully find some solace in. Miss West was absolutely thrilled at the thought of being able to own her own establishment. She named what is now her nightclub, "The Afterlife", it is a popular haunt of the more edgier or darker of Las Vegas' patrons.


Traits:
Anna is undoubtedly dark and seductive as the night club she works. She has a way about her that makes whomever she speaks to feel like they are the only person she wishes to talk to. However being in her presence can cause quite the amount of discomfort, or the beginnings of obsession. Anna is secretive, vengeful, cruel, and morbid. Her ideals are bound to offend as well as invoke profound thinking. There is always something more to what she is saying then she lets on, cloak and dagger melodramatics being near and dear to her heart. She is far from the stoic grace of her mother, she instead carries on almost noble gothic graces to her person instead. Anna is an extremely charismatic woman, with an intuition that cannot be beat. The woman is an unmatched ally to have at your side, but she is not loyal if you do not entertain her.

Arcana: Moon
Persona: Seth - Set, also spelled Seth or Sūtaḫ, is a deity from Egyptian mythology. Set is the deity of deserts, storms and chaos and served as one of the greatest deities in Egyptian myth. Set was married to the goddess Nephthys, who was also his sister. He killed and dismembered his brother Osiris out of jealousy. Isis, Osiris' wife and sister, reassembled him and Osiris became the ruler of the dead. Isis gave birth to Osiris's child, Horus, who became an enemy of Set. In earlier myths, Set fought Apep each night as Ra journeyed through the underworld.

Persona strengths: Seth's strengths lie in wind attacks, his strength and endurance is formidable though he is strongest in magic. Seth is also unaffected by Ice attacks, and has the ability to triple his resistance to electricity. Seth is best used on the offense.
Persona weaknesses: The demon is especially weak to light and electricity, though Seth also has an affinity to up his defense to the two elements. Seth is slow moving and unlucky.

Other:

  • She has an extremely powerful intuition, bordering on psychic.
  • Anna has a blood lust for vengeance that fuels her on.
  • Anna is a wildcard when it comes to predictability.
  • Her weaknesses are as plain as her strengths.
  • She deals in Secrets.

@Rosie I like. Especially remembering that Moon can also represent illusions and the removal thereof, this becomes a really interesting take on it, and a character who I can tell is gonna get worse before they get better (i say while picking Tower). Approved.

EDIT: Three slots remaining. Only two if no one makes a Minor Arcana character. I want to basically reserve one spot for someone ambitious enough to do it.

So... I changed my persona's image and name (I decided I didn't like the other one as much and this one is more fitting)

Also @Rosie I'm calling your character Lalonde from now on :P

So are we not going to start this roleplay until that three slots the original poster has mentioned are filled?

If yes to the above statement, how many characters can each person have? //I apologize if this has already been answered and would appreciate a link to the answer or something.
 
Hello all! I would like to join this RP. Was brought here by Magician

I'll make my character sheet in just a bit. Just wanted to reserve my spot.
 
Hey Digi, is there any chance that Derek could play Innocent Sin on a private server or something like that?
 
Name: Nixon/Kendall

Appearance: Well, my character has two different appearances

141625.jpg

This is how he normally appears when going into standard situations such as schools or family events.

2010-03-06-253000.jpeg

And this is how he likes to dress up whenever he is not in school and is just hanging out doing whatever

Backstory: Nixon or "Kendall" Is a 17 year old transgender female who generally likes to keep to herself unless she is with close friends. She was born into a good family, not particularly rich but not poor either. She was once a happy normal kid at school who was rather shy and only had a few friends. But over the years in school she was constantly abused because she wanted to keep to herself and didn't talk to anyone but a few close friends. The abuse over the years made something inside of her change. She is now filled with rage and developed quite a superiority complex to the point of almost believing herself to be a goddess. She found out like she liked dressing up as a girl a little more than a year ago and whenever she is able to dress up she always feels a lot more relaxed. The rage is still there, just not as strong.


Traits: Easily angered, Commanding, has a superiority complex bordering on a god complex. Very quiet unless spoken to or with close friends. Along with those two traits. There are some others that she doesn't let the world see in order to protect her from being ostracized even more than she already has. She spends a lot of time inside her mind to get away from the outside world that she wants to get away from. When it comes to her skills she is well versed in sculpting. Which she uses to help spark new ideas for the worlds that she lives inside of her mind. She also sees herself at being quite skillful when it comes to solving peoples problems even though she doesn't get that many chances to do so. But when it comes to normal social interaction. More so when it is between people she does not know. She is far below average in being able to communicate with them as she likes to bottle up and just ignore them if at all possible even if it is considered rude.

Arcana: Death

Persona: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Alice

Persona strengths: She is a dark based persona that is resistant to Dark elemental attacks

Persona weaknesses: SHe is weak to Light based attacks

Other: She likes guys, has a fondness for spiders and often times has fantasies about taking over the world.

And just as a note. For the Death Arcana I saw that characters often times experience death in someway. I do have something similar to that but it is kind of a major character development point that I want in the story. If you need me to I can PM you what I had in mind for it.

I am so sorr I haven't said anything. This RP will start as soon as I have time and means to type the intro post. My computer re-broke in exactly the same manner, and I have been so busy with all manner of things, plus my phone decided Iwaku is verbotten and refused to load it for a while. As soon as I can, this thing will launch.

@Viero approved. I never thought of taking death as transgender even though it's really obvious now that you do it. Death arcana and Death are actually pretty unrelated. Look at Elizabeth, who pre-Arena had Death as her Arcana. She didn't come anywhere close to dying but still had a major change.

@Magician's_Advisor I don't see why not.
 
I'll probably not be able to post for a while.

Family issues have come up and RPing is the last thing on my mind right now.
 
oh i guess i didnt read it as thoroughly As i thought i thought it was you make your character and then you make your persona if im still wrong please correct me DX
 
They're both on the same sheet, so it's one then the other. But people have arcana, too, shared with their persona. I'm just leaving a slot open for Minor Arcana because sijce you are basing a character off 13 cards of symbolism rather than one, it takes more time.

Wait what, thirteen cards for a single minor arcana? I'm suddenly interested in this prospect.

Is there a site or someone who can explain what each of the thirteen cards represent? I was using this site for reference but they don't exactly elaborate on each individual cards of each minor arcana suit but rather briefly mentions each arcana's general affinity.
is the devil arcana still open?
yes.
