Introduction

The MassiveCraft Tarot Project was created by @Ghirko and @Ragnio as a free Art-Project. Tarot Cards are always interesting and we thought it would be a nice idea to create own tarot cards with characters from MassiveCraft on them, may the characters be from normal players, staff members or special event characters! Each card has a meaning, specific pose and will most likely fit to the character shown on it. You can find an explanation of all cards if you scroll down!


The Cards

The Major Arcana are the 22 basic tarot cards, found in every tarot deck. They are most likely describing a possible part or event of the future and are having own meanings to themselves. We will hide most of the descriptions in spoilers, so take a look if you are interested in a specific one!


Meaning: Beginning of a new cycle, discovery of talents and abilities, of optimism and happiness.
Art style: Two doors at the sides of the card, one in black color and one in white, the character between them, holding a single golden key in the hand.
Character: The chosen character should be a younger character, maybe even a child. The race doesn't matter for this picture, however, a human-like race would fit it the most.
Character Name: Katthe Djilla @McLeafies


Meaning: Will and determination, Journey of personal enrichment.
Art style: The character should stand in a hall, fire flowing over each hand, the eyes closed as if the character is currently trying to focus.
Character: The chosen character will be a mage character, which just started with their studies. Young mages are often needing determination to continue their studies, as such a young mage character would fit the most.

How do we decide on characters?

The answer to this question is simple; We meet a character we like or which we think would fit, ask the owner of the character if they would allow us to draw the character and than we start our work! Sure, you can send us your character sheet, pm us, etc. however, we will not accept everyone. We are mainly focusing on characters we have actually met in roleplay before and we would like to show the owners of the characters how much we loved the roleplay and the characters themselves.


Small Disclaimer
All descriptions, etc. of the tarot cards aren't always 100% the same as the originals, but we tried to make them fit as much as possible!

can kat be the world omg
Royland is actually The Strength tbh
HELLO YES MY NAME IS MILAHME COEN HOW MAY I HELP YOU?!

So, Ghirko and me will see if we might use your characters in the future, however~ It will be a lot more funnier!
I might have the idea of Milahme and Royland WITH THEIR SOAP as "The Lovers" (@D3RPOSAURUS and @Walrusaur_ ), but I need to talk with Ghirko about that. Katthe would fit a lot towards "The Fool" (@McLeafies), based on her age, childish behaviour and because I think the overall art style would fit her.

I will talk with Ghirko and inform you guys as soon as we have found a nice solution.
 
If we're allowed to suggest things, my character, Nicolo Celso fits pretty well with the chariot <3
 
I could totally see Kaleel as The Strength or Chariot. He constantly fights large obstacles (and overcomes) that people put in front of him, namely Ailor.
 
Just a small reminder, since I was already spammed by questions for a spot!

Please keep yourself up-to-date, since some spots might be given away without us noticing you. So, please refrain from asking for an already filled spot or pre-reserved one, like "The Lovers"!

The following card spots are left open, however, the same rules apply for them as well;

  • The Magician
  • The Chariot
  • The Strength
  • The Hermit
  • The Wheel of Fortune
  • The Hanged Man
  • The Temperance
  • The Devil
  • The Tower
  • The Star
  • The Judgement
  • The World

Iona (of Basta) Heinrich, would be a great fit for the Star, her eyes light up too, cause antimage.
 
Also, one of the most Sagely characters I've encountered has to be Rerik Ulster, a ferociously independent character. Would also be good to see an orc character involved somehow.

This has to be Whitlock, albeit perhaps a younger version... His hair was likely longer back then.
 
Oh my gods. If Tara became the star i'd die, @Ghirko KNOWS ALL SHE DOES IS HELP!! SHE ADOPTED GHIRKOS LIL BABA!
But in all seriousness i would love for Tara to be 'The Star'

@Ragnio I'm interested in the World slot for Elizabeth Black. If you want I can draw it. Not sure how you are doing these things. I'm aware she's currently a child but I thought it'd be interesting to draw her as her current self and then as her future self as she intends to lead a life of adventure and fulfillment through trying to make her family proud!
If it's not okay let me know and I'll think of something different.
 
@Ragnio I'm interested in Rerik as the Hermit. He's not always the most eloquent, but a huge aspect of his character is simply wisdom gained from many sources. He's always eager to learn. Introspection, memories, thinking. If I had to go for the most obvious, I'd apply for Strength, he's a salty man who backs up his wisdom with his fists more often than many deem reasonable. It's all up to you, naturally.

Lol this is cool. I want Sahl (My dakkar) in the strength slot. He's a bit dumb atleast for human standards but he's huge even for a dakkar. He is usually the first to punch his way through obstacles, be they mental or physical. When not aggrovated he is jolly and always ready to have a strong drink, a chat, or a fight. Nothing motivates him like a good battle and he is very loyal to those he likes and will always protect them from harm. He would welcome death with open arms as long as his demise was epic and for someone he loves. @Ragnio

This is super interesting, my family have pretty strong ties with this kinda stuff, look forward to seeing the outcome!
 
@Ghirko told me to come here...

I think Bailos Fidelis would fit the Tower card well. He isn't in a gang, however his want for the title of the family leads him to wishing the destruction of its members, showing how reckless he can occasionally be.
 
Small Update
The last three spots are left! Several people asked for strength, so I will do some random rolling tomorrow to get the spot!
The other two left are:
  • The Temperance
  • The Judgement
 
Oooh. This looks purrty cool! I might give a suggestion at a later date if the slot I'm eyeing up is still open.

I think my character Noelle Hath might be a good character for The Temperance! She helps run The Golden Willow and is definitely good at running a business (or at least earning regals)
 
Could Momoirobara Maybe be The Judgement? She is an ellon cat mage and I like the idea of her holding a fish with out a fishing rod with out explanation how she got it, as her cat form would have caught it for her.
 
Character Name: Rhothamir Hel'Virmer @Ghirko
@Ghirko y u do dis I was gonna apply Cynny
In other words, perhaps my character Teresa Grimaldi could fill the second part of the temperance role with Noelle? I think it fits her controlling business-oriented personality well.
Plus @Ghirko already knows what she looks like bc she plays Tere's twin brother and stalks my dA
