Try using their playing card equivalents at first. They're more relatable and won't put people off as much.

Why's that? Its not like their Tarot are absolute. From what I read, a persons Tarot allignment can change into completely different one based on events in their life.

I did not know playing cards had meanings that could be attributed to people

>>88913829
Lucifer and arcs from Hellblazer heavily reference this.
My advice:
>Look at the saint saya series and look at what you find contrived
>Look at Saints (recent Image book) and see why it works

Anachronistic supernatural x has been done to death Anon, just make sure it's a technichally sound piece of work that only could have come from you.
Godspeed.

Yeah, all the minor arcane are pretty much the same.

coins = diamonds
wands = clubs
cups = hearts
swords = spades

I carry an old ten of hearts in my wallet.

None of your characters are going to act like actual people, they'll just be a bunch of check boxes, and will fail to be at all compelling. Frankly, you seem like one of those pretentious artsy types who's more interested in jerking off to their themes and motifs rather than telling a story.

Well i dont want to make them into these robots that are extremely 1 dimensional or anything. But I planned to use Tarot to create more arch-typical qualities

>>88914366
How? Basing characters on anything is retarded, because all it does is place a label on them that forces them into being one-dimensional.

well apparently it worked for >>88914035

What you need to do is make more than one character correspond to a card and show how they are different.

Death belongs to both a doctor and a writer. The tower belongs to a burned out rock star and a failed business man. Emperor belongs to a CEO and an autistic child.

Make the cards powers and traits, but make each character a character. Play up how every card has several interpretations.

Well I don't know how it was in Hellblazer but in Lucifer it was a living tarot deck whose personality was pure evil and one dimensional.

>>88914366
Then you do character first and tarot card second. Of course you can have someone who's fatalistic and matches their tarot 1:1, but that's because he's a dosy fatalistic dickhead, make him the villain even.

It's intbe issue where John takes a ton of psychedelics and self actualises into the archetype of the magus.

There is already a book by a new zealand chick that does the same thing and im pretty sure it won some important award or somthing

>>88915181
Don't let this discourage you mate.
Do your research.
Touch up on your literary theory.
Write this bastard.
Only then read that writer's work, otherwise your work can only be a response to her's.

Part 3 of Jojo, I guess.
Though they're personalities aren't usually that parallel to the Tarot Cards their standd symbolize, considering most of them are one-off baddies.
Just watch Jojo, though.

>>88913829
Add Jojo references!
