Playername: Nomi
Players I am most interested in threading with: Anyone who's interested in tarot card reading.
Purpose of thread request: I'm looking for people who'd be interested in having Nomi read a tarot card spread for them. She works as at the Mystic Eye Fortune Telling shop, and while she isn't able to offer your character earth-shattering plot revelations, her readings may help them gain insight to their own personality and circumstances... perhaps nudging them in a direction you want them to go! I'm perfectly willing to work with you OOC to tailor a reading to serve a particular purpose for your character, but I'm also willing to simply do a reading with no direction and let you interpret it as you will! For those with no experience with tarot card readings, I'll explain.
Unlike how dramatized they are in movies and books, tarot cards aren't tools meant to predict like, deaths or the end of the world or whatever. Normally, they're used to provide insight into a situation and get the querent (the person receiving the reading) to think about their question in a different way. Each card represents a sequence of archetypes and spiritual lessons, and depending on how they're aligned in the spread (and depending on the question asked) they can represent people, forces at play, and emotions. For example, say my querent is asking how they can reconnect with their father who just came back into their life. I do a spread, and in the place meant to give advice about the situation as it stands right now, I draw the the six of pentacles reversed. That card normally means charity, prosperity, and abundant wealth, but reversed it means...
Greed, debt, and charity motivated by selfishness.
There are a couple of ways to read this card. One is pretty obvious - uh oh, beware, that dad might just want money. But it could also indicate the querent themselves - perhaps that person should really re-examine why they want to reconnect with their father. Is this something based out of generosity, selflessness, and a desire to foster familiar connections? Or... is it just... because they want to seem like a good, compassionate person to the people around them, one that's good at forgiving and forgetting? Rather, are they giving "forgiveness" to their father (who left) only because they "want something in return" (the admiration and praise for being 'a good person'.)That kind of mindset will only bring suffering, in the end, because shallow kindness is prone to rot.
...Tarot card readings are very subjective, which means they can be a very interesting thought-tool in getting people to think about their situation from different angles. It proves a set of ideas to meditate on, and this can prove to be very enlightening.
Why would other players want to join?: Because tarot cards are dope and you want to do an analytical thread about your character? I do this readings IRL a lot, so I'm pretty handy with cards, and I'm passionate enough about the subject that I'll try to give you a really detailed, cool reading. And seriously, I am totally willing to work with you if there's a specific direction you want the reading to go.
Let me know if you're interested!
