Hooray, the Autobot bureaucracy is finally starting to take active steps.

I'm trying my best to make my posts entertaining. Hopefully I'm succeeding somewhat.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I'm liking them thus far, although obviously I'm a sucker for anything TF related.

On a related note, do you know what would be fun to drop into the middle of Battleworld towards the end of the game note ? This.

I'm making a list of Major Arcana tarot that would likely be associated with various characters, both for kicks and just in case Minako - my main PC - forms a Social Link with any of them (which would only happen with a player's permission, of course). If anybody's got suggestions for their characters, do let me know. There's a page on this very wiki about tarot if you're unfamiliar with it, although I've never found it to be particularly well-written.

Oh, interesting, would be interested in seeing that when you're done. Also let me know if you need assistance with any of my charicters or any of the NPC people.

Oooh, tarot. I really like tarot. I think the cards that would fit the characters I'm using would be

  • Pamela: The Hierophant
  • Schirach: The Chariot
  • Rink and Lecht: The Moon
  • Eifer: The Wheel of Fortune
  • Iris: The Tower

I decided to take a crack at that.

  • Sol: The Magician (bridging the gap between Heaven and Earth sort of sounds like tapping into the Backyard, and who does that better than Sol? And him helping to kickstart the Gear Project when he was human is similar to the theme of Beginnings)

  • Sin: The Sun (optimism and joy incarnate? What else could you ask for)

  • Ramlethal: The Fool (relating to the fact that she's only just beginning to form her personality, so she could go in any direction really, her general innocence and her freedom from the whims of the Universal Will)

ooh I've never personally done one of these before

uh

  • Cloud: Either The Hanged Man (self-sacrifice for the sake of enlightenment not to mention how hard the expanded universe has been pushing that angle to the point where it's lost all meaning, letting go) or The Moon (illusions, dreams, madness, fear, subconscious shit, insecurity, this one might be better since it's not shoving jesus symbolism in my face every three minutes)
  • Tifa: Strength (courage, patience, control, compassion, actual strength)
  • Reeve: Death (Transformation and transition, endings and beginnings)
  • Barret: The Hermit (soul searching, introspection, inner-guidance)
  • Yuffie: The Sun (warmth, success, vitality, fun), or The Empress (she is a literal heir-apparent)

I know absolutely nothing about tarot cards and am thus working off of some paranormal website, but here goes! (feel free to change stuff around as you see fit)

  • Steeljaw: Magician (Power, skill, concentration, action, resourcefulness, manipulation.)
  • Underbite: Chariot (Lack of control, aggression, willpower.)
  • Thunderhoof: Emperor (Domination, excessive control, rigidity, inflexibility.)
  • Fracture: Justice (Unfairness, lack of accountability, dishonesty.)
    • The Minicons: Empress (Dependence on others)
  • Clampdown: Moon (Fear, anxiety, insecurity.)

@ Darkside: I guess something like this. Just used the notes on tvtropes, not sure how accurate/not accurate they are.

Henry: Magician - cause its an easy fit, or Justice - cause the card feels true neutral and aloof.

Shinobu: Chariot - war, victory, and self assertion. Kind of gives a speed and mobility vibe too. Or Strength - While neither gentle or particularly virtuous, does have an old school samurai outlook and a fighting style that favors skill and speed over raw power.

Alice: High Priestess - Wisdom, female mystery, and hidden knowledge seems to fit. She seems to fit as a threshold guardian in the game and association with the moon for bonus points. Or Hermit - In game she was referred to as The Last Ascetic. Wisdom, introspection, and solitude all seem to fit her.

Margret: The moon - her strange playful nature mixed with supernatural abilities seems to fit here. As far as creativity she apparently created and sang a whole song just to give a reason you suck speech to Travis. Also bonus points since its goes with her last name and in game level.

Nathan: Hierophant - Cause he is a sort of priest, though admittedly far from conservative. Or Hanged man - Far from messianic, but he is a death seeker who wants deliverance.

Skelter: Death - Went a massive change in character after the death of his brother. Or Wheel of Fortune - Also covers the changes and twists of fate. Seems to suggest being a victim of fate as opposed to its master, which may fit character.

Cloe: The Devil - gives into selfish impulses, symbol of sexuality, and occult forces. Just fits.

@ Meanken: By the way does the portal have to be relocated to the border? Kind of like the idea of it teleportating to a waiting room. As far as deterring deep strike attacks, I am sure I can turn the place into a death trap for anyone who tries. Though I guess it removes the ability for an invading force to try to seize the portal location and cut it off. I get it if for the sake of balance it has to move, but mind if at least it is put off til I pull back Sylvia so I don't have to get her a cab.

Gonna give you guys a bit of time to react, then I'll reveal the identity of our new villain if no one's guessed it.

Question - would Magical Girl telepathy work in the Common Room? I assume there's some bare minimum magic allowed, since technically all Magical Girls would drop dead as soon as they stepped in otherwise.

I was a little surprised to read Dante saying something other than "This party's gettin' crazy!" in this context. I guess this party's gettin' out of control, instead.
