[quote=@Lugubrious] [@Caits] here is the updated version. [hider=[+]] Mystic Beasts – beings part human, part animal, and all warrior, who suggest the Major Arcana. Like their weaker, more sophisticated cousins, the Celestial Spirits, Mystic Beasts can be called upon to fight for their users, the Mystic Fate Mages, in battle. There are no such things as contracts with Mystic Beasts, however. Once summoned from a Tarot card, a Beast must be defeated by the summoner before it recognizes the summoner's power and agrees to help. If the Beast wins, it goes rampant, finding its own way in the world as long as they keep hold of their own cards, which are held on or within their bodies. Though fearsome foes in combat, Mystic Beasts can be killed. Killing a Mystic Beast sends fluctuations through the Major Arcana—the number must always be twenty-six. Therefore, when the killer dies, the mantle of that particular Arcana passes to them, reviving them and granting them new powers, new personality traits, and new weaknesses. In twenty-six hours, the killer is transformed, adopting physical as well as mental attributes inherent to the Arcana. At the period's end, the new Mystic Beast is ready, an amalgamation of the Arcana and the person hosting it. There is no known way to halt or reverse the transformation. When not summoned, the Mystic Beasts can prowl a world with geography very similar to ours, but full of strange creatures and without a human to be seen--the Otherrealm, or simply remain rampant in this world. It is important to note that the Description and Power are inherent to an Arcana, and that all who become its holders will, sooner or later, develop those traits. A Mystic Beast blends together the inherent traits and powers of their card with their own, meaning no two, even of the same Arcana, are the same. All Mystic Beasts have a single common weakness: the instruments that brought about their deaths, or the parts of their bodies that failed them. For instance, a Mystic beast that died of thirst would be weak to water. [b][u]# 000 – The Fool[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] The Fool will ever be a ludicrous sight: a dog in the droll clothing of a bard. [b]Power:[/b] No Fool exists without an instrument to play for the amusement of the masses. A few fingers across strings, or air blown through holes, and the Fool may make song into reality. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Rufus (Collie Dog) – died of a heart attack [b]Holder Description:[/b] White male, 30 years of age when turned, with prematurely graying spiky hair slicked back and a pointy beard. Rufus Broman was a famous musician in life, an artistic talent with a passion for both creativity and partying, seldom serious and always ready for a good time. His skill and attitude gained the attention of the Fool's previous holder, a woman whose broken hand had left her deplete, who fell in love with him. When he, however, fell in love with another woman, the Fool's previous holder committed suicide. Rufus, upon hearing this, mournfully blamed himself. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Merry Jubilee – the power to make sparks, sparkles, glows, and fireworks, best suited for special effects. [b]Current Status:[/b] Partnered with Seamus Mallory [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://pre13.deviantart.net/2e8d/th/pre/f/2009/136/d/b/minstrel_dog_by_ovopack.jpg]Rufus, the Fool[/url] [b][u]# 001 – The Magician[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] An elderly snail, stooped and drably clothed, with an unremarkable and generally apathetic demeanor. [b]Power:[/b] Marvelous feats of magic, including telekinesis and small-time hypnosis, are the talents of every Magician. This card's holder can also shrink things, living or no, and bring them closer to him. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Mycroft (Snail) – died peacefully after contracting a terminal disease. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Black male, 90 years of age when turned, scrawny and feeble and with rheumy white eyes beneath thin strands of hair. A farmer from a family of farmers, Mycroft lived a long and uneventful life, except for one incident in his youth. In a freak accident, he served a visiting Magician a jug of contaminated water, and several weeks later the previous holder died. None the wiser, Mycroft carried on with his life, a considerate and generous family-oriented man. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Current Status:[/b] 'Rampant', though it's hard to say that about someone this old, harmless, and slow.

[b]Power:[/b] By praying to another being, the bearer of the High Priestess may empower them greatly. She is not defenseless, however, for she may appear within reflective surfaces -and there, whatever she does to a reflection will be done to its owner- or create momentary mirrors of her own to reflect magic. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Trudy (Octopus) – stabbed in the back for her inheritance [b]Holder Description:[/b] White female, 46 years of age when turned, with curly red hair, sharp features, and black eyes. Trudy Montgomery was born into wealth, but never took it for granted. She adopted a charitable mindset, trying to make sure that those less fortunate were taken care of, and considered going into politics. Unable to have children, she adopted two orphan sisters, but unbeknownst to her the young women despised and plotted against her. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person.

[b]Power:[/b] Wielding impervious, patterned wings like great fans, the lady of the skies can buffet any who oppose her will with razor wind. The softness of her voice may transform other beings into magical weapons and back again. She may also soar on the faintest of breezes. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Sadie (Aztec Moth) - killed by her archenemy Gil [b]Holder Description:[/b] Black female, 21 years of age when turned, with poofy yellow-white hair, gray eyes, and a lanky stature. Sadie Kurtzhammer was born to a pair of wizards in the same guild, and entered the lifestyle of a guild wizard at an early age. She showed a proficiency with her magic, and her desire for power and control landed her a leadership position in the guild at an early age. Over the course of several jobs, however, she became acquainted with a certain Gil, and became his enemy. In a final showdown, their anger erupted into a furious dual that left both dead. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Stone Magic [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, on a tropical southern isle [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://orig07.deviantart.net/2ba5/f/2014/070/9/0/90d09f939232c6f580c776dbc0fe2b93-d79uzsz.png]Sadie, the Empress[/url] [b][u]# 004 – The Emperor[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] A haughty, icy-cool, high-flown butterfly with a cruel steak, along with a deep affection for the holder of the Empress card. [b]Power:[/b] Wielding a blade thinner than an insect's wing, the butterfly knight can slice not only through living tissue and inert materials alike, but also cut through magic and even across dimensions, causing razor-sharp dimensional rifts where he pleases. He may also soar on the faintest of breezes. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Gil (Blue Morpho Butterfly) - killed by his archenemy Sadie [b]Holder Description:[/b] Japanese male, 21 years of age when turned, with black hair done up into a short mohawk, one cyan eye and one black eye, and a broken nose. Gil Chikori's parents were both called away to serve in the Rune Knights when he was in his early teens. With a rebellious and contrary nature, Gil hated the sitter, and instead found companionship with a street gang. Some years later, after Gil's integration, the gang found a rival in a local magic guild and decided to oppose it at all costs. Over the course of several raids, she became acquainted with a certain Sadie, and became her enemy. In a final showdown, their anger erupted into a furious duel that left both dead. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Hair Magic [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, on a tropical southern isle [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://pre02.deviantart.net/1ed3/th/pre/f/2013/176/e/4/ctl___keeper_tybalt_by_novasiri-d6ad7ov.png]Gil, the Emperor[/url] [b][u]# 005 – The Hierophant[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] A slimy being reminiscent of invertebrates found far below the surface of the ocean. Endless curiosity, desire for knowledge and secrets and hidden power, fuel its strange, inhuman actions. [b]Power:[/b] The Hierophant commands control over space. It can teleport itself and others, eliminate space to banish things or bring two points closer together, and 'lock' space to create impassable barriers. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Meddler (Nudibranch) – disintegrated after being sucked into an anomalous magic maelstrom. [b]Holder Description:[/b] White male, 19 years of age when turned, with wispy light brown hair, prismatic eyes, and a thin figure. An explorer and thrillseeker since his early years, Jim Thorne, 'the meddler', did everything he could to figure out unnatural phenomena in the world. His eagerness, unfortunately, got the better of him. While on the trail of a magic storm, Jim encountered the previous holder of the Hierophant, and raced it to the anomaly. When the storm erupted unexpectedly, a panicked Jim did everything he could to try and survive, including using the Hierophant as a springboard, but it was all for naught. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Archive Magic [b]Current Status:[/b] Unknown, nearly impossible to track [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://orig12.deviantart.net/91a7/f/2012/242/7/4/nudibranch_man_by_pythosblaze-d5d11ng.png]Meddler, the Hierophant[/url] [b][u]# 006 – The Lovers[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] Ah, the Lovers. So close they are, and yet so far. The bonds they make, with one another or otherwise, are the strongest. And the pain they feel, the robed human and the two-headed serpent, is the strongest. [b]Power:[/b] At first, it seems that the bearers of the Lovers can boast only the poison in the serpent's fangs. However, the minds of the pair are inextricably linked. They can communicate, coordinate, and act in cooperative silence. Their agony, however, resides in one pool. Whatever one feels, the other feels double. And when their cries, no, screams of pain mingle, their power becomes a terror on a cosmic scale. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Jann & Naomi (Snakes) – both died of poison inflicted by the previous Lovers [b]Holder Description:[/b] White male and female, 18 and 19 years of age when turned, Jann could boast slick, spiky black hair and piercing blue eyes while Naomi had short-cropped brown hair, dark pink eyes, and a smattering of freckles. The latest progeny of a family feud spanning back two generations, they fell in forbidden love and tried to run away from home. In doing so they encountered the previous Lovers hiding in the underground tunnels, jealously protecting their territory, but Jann and Naomi reasoned that they couldn't go back. They attempted to fight, but after hurting both of the Lovers, they struck back with a vengeance and cut short the humans' lives. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person.

Nothing pleases the Chariot more than to carry anyone it meets to an amusing, often ironic, doom. [b]Power:[/b] Just as the Chariot bears its rider to war, its shapeshifting holder bears weight as well. Impossible speeds may be reached, but only if the Chariot is ridden. Incredible strength may be gained, but only if the Chariot is worn as armor. Incredible tricks can be played, but only if the Chariot wears the form of another. And a terrible, gruesome fate can be sealed, but only if the Chariot is involved. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Anju (Spider) – died a slow death of Chariot poison. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Anju was not a human. The being that killed the previous Chariot was a demon formerly from Galuna Isle, white of hair and purple of skin, who was cast out for his disruptive and violent psychopathic tendencies. After hounding small villages and towns on the mainland for a while, the previous Chariot -a man whose ideals had blended with the Chariot insanity to create a delusion of heroism- attempted to fight him. Anju amused himself by breaking the self-proclaimed hero's psyche, but did not expect him to go feral and deliver a fatal bite. [b]Current Status:[/b] 'Partnered' with Urien Volmight [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://pre10.deviantart.net/4b00/th/pre/f/2013/253/7/5/drider_by_mateslaurentiu-d6lswok.jpg]Anju, the Chariot[/url] [b][u]# 008 – Justice[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] The great cat, tawny of fur and lovely but fearsome. Justice's holder, barefoot and beaded of hair, is dedicated to the principle of karma: no good deed goes unrewarded, and no bad deed goes unpunished. [b]Power:[/b] Justice's holder can see and feel chakra—a force akin to ki, that emanates from all living things. Using her own, she can attack with burning but invisible blasts of magic, and she can even turn others' against them, attacking them with a formless power. Justice may also sculpt chakra into objects. Her magic is more powerful against those who have hurt others. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Imani (Lion) – died during childbirth [b]Holder Description:[/b] Black female, 34 years when turned, with pale green eyes, a flat nose, and long dark brown hair, with golden fringes, braided. Imani Numbani was the third daughter of a pair of master weavers. Never comfortable with normal crafts, however, she leaped at the chance to learn magic when she found she had the gift. Many years later, after decades of adventure, she settled down with a husband to raise a family. Unfortunately, she never got the chance. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Shaman Magic – interaction with the souls of living beings. By using objects as conduits, she can hurt them, poison them, sleep them, et cetera, and she can also 'combine' souls to fuse two people together.

[b]Power:[/b] A Hermit may retreat from reality by becoming a presence in another's mind, reading their thoughts, memories, and lies if they so choose. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Ludo (Owl) - passed quietly in his sleep [b]Holder Description:[/b] Hispanic male, 79 years of age when turned, hairless except for an untrimmed white beard and very wrinkled, with yellow eyes. Ludo Hernandez was a mentor in his late age, a trainer of heroes in the last age of magic. Despite living in peaceful solitude, he had a keen sense for whenever he was needed, and would travel sometimes to seek those in need of aid. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] The Infinity Spear – a holder magic involving a spear that can change materials [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant; affiliated with Frenzy Plant [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://phoenixwing.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/1/1/31114287/4114200_orig.jpg]Ludo, the Hermit[/url] [b][u]# 010 – Wheel of Fortune[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] Bespectacled, alluring, and barely contained in proper lab clothes, Wheel of Fortune takes on the characteristics of sea mollusks and seeks, with a decidedly insane fervor, uncommon knowledge and uncommon emotion. Nothing titillates her more than shock, surprise, and radical change. [b]Power:[/b] Random is the name of the game with Wheel of Fortune. Within limit, she may use her voice to describe a random anything -sickness, color, number, personality, spell- and reality will shift to accommodate her. Beyond that, her tentacles are charged with orange lightning, and the voltage is hers to control. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Lockheart (Mollusk) – strangled, along with the rest of her research team, by the previous holder of Wheel of Fortune, on whom they were experimenting. [b]Holder Description:[/b] White female, 25 years of age when turned, with long, red hair, glasses, and a curvaceous figure. Stacy Lockheart had a forward, goal-oriented mindset, confident in herself and unafraid to pursue her objectives, whatever they might be. Though not violent, she sometimes allowed her inquisitiveness to guide her into making amoral decisions, and she was always possessive. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person.

Highly aggressive and never one to back down from any challenge, Strength's holder is a proud, sportsmanlike being. [b]Power:[/b] Aside from incredible physical strength, greater even than the World, Strength's holder can turn air into ice, a sort of 'instant unlimited ice make- kind of magic, including highly-detail fakes of itself. To further baffle opponents, the holder may instantly swap places with any of its fakes. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Koro Kai (Polar Bear) – frozen solid by the death burst of Strength's previous holder [b]Holder Description:[/b] Thai male, 42 years of age when turned, with a scruffy graying beard and short but wild hair, and hazel eyes. Udo Koro Kai was a local police chief, with a fair mind for justice and a general respect for others. He was, however, paranoid by nature, and slow to trust. Only in the end, his unit battling Strength's previous holder to save the town, did he finally take one for the team.

[b]Power:[/b] The manipulation of wood and rope, ghostly relocation and invisibility, and curses that inspire a semblance of death all lay at the fingers of this phantom. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Proteus (Crab) - hanged for mutiny [b]Holder Description:[/b] Mediterranean male, 29 years of age when turned, with a shaved head and goatee, an x-shaped scar on one cheek, and dark brown eyes. Benito “Proteus” Iapetus, raised by a single mother in horrid conditions in a port city, grew up with the mindset of doing whatever was necessary to survive. His Machiavellian, sadistic outset caused him to betray his captain when a situation went sour one day, which landed him a pirate's death sentence after his insurrection failed. [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, last seen terrorizing Akane Resort [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Mild Water Magic, usually boiling [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://pre09.deviantart.net/7f31/th/pre/i/2012/266/b/2/crabman_by_jjleonart-d5fofu4.jpg]Proteus, the Hanged Man[/url] [b][u]# 013 – Death[/u][/b] [b]Creator:[/b] Oblivion [b]Description:[/b] A silent individual who is covered in black feathers, maintaining most of his animal side. Only human parts is his human body shape and face. [b]Power:[/b] He is an expert at hand to hand combat making him deadly at close quarters. To make matters worse he has a life eating touch, meaning if he can get a hold on you he can eat away at your life force. He also is able to install fear within others with his presence alone and can use some type of force magic against others. He makes the whole no escape from death quite true, as he can just force people back towards him. And against non human his touch is a decaying touch as such, touching plants or other animals he will decay their form. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Yuuki (Crow) - a victim of a plague. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Unknown [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, last seen near Oak Town's Castle [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://anime.kulichki.com/images/howl/gallery/howl011.jpg] Yuuki, Death [/url] [b][u]# 014 – Temperance[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] A lanky ruminant leaning upon a staff, whose selflessness and kindness for its allies is matched only by its ruthlessness toward its enemies. [b]Power:[/b] With temperance, one can accomplish anything. Its holder commands the soil, whether to part, to become sand, to beget plantlife at incredible speed, or to absorb the vitality of those touching it. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Numa (Stag) a hunter who, after sacrificing himself to buy time for villagers to escape barbarian raiders, was captured and starved to death. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Indian male, 39 years of age when turned, with long, dark brown hair, red eyes, and a jutting chin. Self-sufficient since his upbringing and proud of it, Numa Garro traveled the land of Fiore, content to make ends meet. He did eventually develop a heroic streak, though, and spent some time at a nonmagic guild before venturing back into the wilderness. Shortly before the events surrounding his death, he hunted down and shot the previous Temperance holder, mistaking him for a normal stag. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person.

[b]Power:[/b] Aside from incredible jumping skill, illusioneering, deadly claws, and the ability to manifest wherever he's called, the bearer of this Arcana can corrupt the bodies of mortals, making them into demons. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Jay (Ram) – beheaded by cultists. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Gray male, 13 years of age when turned, white-haired with red eyes and sharp teeth. Jay was the chosen one—a boy born on a solar eclipse from the matriarch of a clandestine cult. From a young age, he was indoctrinated, but in his core he wanted none of it. He watched other boys, the normal ones, and was jealous. At the age of 13 he ran away, vowing to leave the cult behind, and in his flight he encountered the Devil's precious holder. That being offered Jay a deal: end her suffering, and he would be granted great power. He did so, stabbing the Devil's holder through the heart with a piece of glass, but the delay caused his pursuers to catch up. They kept him locked up for months until the time of the ritual, and then, he was sacrificed. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Charm Magic – the use of various-colored manifested magical roses, using pheromones to influence others.

A calm, emotionless exterior hides a heart stuffed full of malice and rage, only barely kept at bay by a mind that is fundamentally good. [b]Power:[/b] Aside from absurd prowess with a dagger and supernatural agility, the Tower may on a whim turn any living thing into a statue, and not necessarily one of itself. The painful transformation and may take up to five minutes to complete, after which it is inanimate. The Tower alone can properly remove this curse. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Jericho (Jackal) – a vigilante assassin lured into a trap, imprisoned, and tortured until she died. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Arabic female, 18 years of age when turned, with black hair, silver eyes, and a very slender physique. At a young age, Jericho Talya witnessed her parents gunned down by a user of Guns magic, and grew into a quiet, brooding teenager. When she learned that the assassins years ago had been an agent of the now-current mayor of the city, Jericho swore revenge. After months of preparation, she successfully hunted down the assassin—the previous holder of the Tower. After that , however, her vigilante campaign went sour. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Umbra Flash – the magic to take on the shape of a shadow for an instant, to move quickly across a short distance.

Ever a mammal denied flight and its fascination with the sky, the Star will uphold the common good and battle evil if it has a mind to, and in its own style. [b]Power:[/b] At first glance, it appears that the Star controls sand. On second glance, those yellow particles glow like so many of pinpoints in the night sky. It is in this way that the holder of the Star can boast command over both earth and light. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Clifton (Mole) – died in an earthquake. [b]Holder Description:[/b] White male, 31 years of age when turned, with raggedy black hair, thick features, and an overweight physique. Clifton Bole had an unremarkable childhood. His parents, too poor to pay for a proper education, did their best to provide for Clifton but his opportunities were always limited. He himself never fostered great aspirations, and always came off as sullen and surly. One day while helping his father around the farm, they were attacked by a rabid creature throwing dirt and light. Clifton's father was wounded, but the young man himself was able to kill the beast with a shovel. After that, his life remained as empty and uneventful as ever, until a violent earthquake cut it short. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person.

Her eastern clothes style her like a vengeful samurai. [b]Power:[/b] The power of the Moon's bearer is twofold. She holds sway over water, to move it, to condense it, and to burst it. When she stretches out her fingers, time may trickle by slower than tar. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Nausica (Raven) – died, as they say, of a broken heart. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Korean female, 27 years of age when turned, with slick, oily black hair, brown eyes, thick glasses, and a stick-thin figure. Though Nausica Ch'oe somewhat naïve, impressionable, and superficial, hers was a virtuous spirit, willing to work hard to help those she cared about. In her youth, her family moved into Fiore, and found labor work in Hargeon to pay the bills. Nausica nursed a passion for art alongside talent in fishing. It was because of this that, in her adult years, she met at a gallery a winged man by the name of Yeoum Ryang. Over the course of the next few weeks, the two fell in love, even as Yeoum -the Moon's previous user- grew sick and feeble. Knowing that he hadn't long for the world and in great pain, Yeoum told her to administer a deadly but painless poison to him, and to move on. Nausica obeyed his last wishes...but only halfway. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Picto Magic that was never really developed.

[b]Current Holder:[/b] Lakota (Harpy) – burned alive by her own firebomb after it was shot by a man avenging her murder of the previous Sun. [b]Holder Description:[/b] White female, 33 years of age when turned, with coarse blond hair, dull orange eyes, and a pronounced musculature. Aria Sabertan was a moderately-functioning sociopath who viewed life as boring and therefore made it her goal to accrue as much power, wealth, and reputation as she could so history would remember her. Starting in her late teens as a runaway and a thief, she managed to keep her impulses under control enough to remain out of prison. One day, told the wrong woman to stand and deliver—the previous owner of the Sun. Remarkably, Aria killed her by using her firebombs to overcharge her, but didn't fare so well against the Sun's partner. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Current Status:[/b] Partnered with her brother in life, an infamous highwayman.

[b]Power:[/b] Judgment brings together a great menagerie, creatures seen and unseen, that inhabit the Otherrealm. Their uses are as many as there are creatures. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Suresh (Elephant) – the heroic mayor of a small town, slain by the previous holder of Judgment, the Angry Niharika, in her death throes. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Indian male, 50 years of age when turned, with styled turquoise blue-hair, a bushy mustache, and a burly physique. From his early adulthood onward, Suresh Alexander was not only a man of strength, but a man of intelligence, kindness, and generosity. After a career as a wrestler, he used his fame to help become a politician in his area, forging ahead with a new style of leadership. His hands-on, no-nonsense, lead-by-example approach made him beloved, but it ultimately proved his downfall when he was called upon to save his town from a rampaging previous holder of Judgment. [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, last seen wandering near desert ruins [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Minor practitioner of Muscle Speak, to 'help others help themselves' [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://img04.deviantart.net/b9d6/i/2011/180/a/5/the_elephant_sorcerer_by_phoeni_x_man-d3kinra.jpg]Suresh, Justice[/url] [b][u]# 021 – The World[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] A colossal cetacean of great strength, good-natured when not in combat, but a furious, immovable object when his blood is allowed to boil. [b]Power:[/b] The ability to solidify water and liquify land, exchanging their properties and moving through either. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Salvoy (Blue whale), a whaler drowned at sea [b]Holder Description:[/b] Turkish male, 16 years old when turned, with a shock of dyed yellow hair, bright green eyes, a deep tan, and a decently muscular physique for his age. Full of energy and very social, Salvoy Peynirci made friends wherever he went, even on a whaling ship that traded with Fiore. When the captain grew obsessed with hunting down and killing a certain 'Limbed Whale', however, his crew suffered on the long, hungry voyage. The ship did, eventually catch up with the whale -the World's previous holder- and it was Salvoy who made the killing blow, a pure luck harpoon throw as he was tossed overboard into stormy waters and certain death. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Current Status:[/b] Partnered with Nash Fogore [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://orig04.deviantart.net/7db6/f/2009/295/2/3/anthropomorphic_humpback_whale_by_keaze.jpg]Salvoy the World[/url] [u][b]# 022 – The Jester[/b][/u] [b]Creator:[/b] The Invisible Man [b]Description:[/b] Slimy both on the inside and outside. This amoral frog, well versed within the realm of humanity will do anything to try to amuse himself. This can include from fighting some person to the death and then later having a drink with that said person. He is the unstable wildcard of the Major Arcana and is usually the last to ever try to rely on anything. [b]Power:[/b] Extreme agility with the knowledge of almost every fighting style and weapon at his disposal. To be harder to catch and just be more annoying to everyone in general, he can also turn invisible for long periods of time with the added ability to create a clone of himself. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Jack (Frog) - Tripped down some stairs, broke his neck in the process. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Unknown [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Current Status:[/b] Rampant, last seen in the outskirts of Magnolia. [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/iEUDdL0.png]Jack, the Jester[/url] [b][u]# 023 – Aeon[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] A bluish fishlike being, with claws and tentacle hair, and marble-black eyes. Its mind is an enigma, wacky any seemingly nonsensical, but with a peculiar love for suffering. [b]Power:[/b] Aeon's holder can, at will, create a liquid darkness to be thrown as balls or bolts, or to be spread across surfaces, from which piercing dark spikes can rise. Aeon can also coat itself in the inky substance, and when completely covered stops or slows time in an area of its choosing. The ink drips off Aeon, suspended in the air, and when it is completely gone Aeon cannot affect time for a while. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Lamia (Deepsea Eel) – drowned. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Czech female, 20 years of age when turned, with stringy purple hair, murky brown eyes, and an obese physique. Elena Mòric, at the tender age of six months, was dropped on her head by an uncaring mother who never wanted her in the first place. Elena's brain was permanently damaged as a result. Her life for two decades was an empty one, seemingly lacking any will of her own and having difficulty comprehending -or remembering- difficult thoughts. Seemingly content to stare at the sky or a lake for hours and hours on end, breaking only to eat, she grew incredibly overweight. One day, she was shooed out of the house by her caretaker to get some exercise. Without proper direction, she waddled into the lake out back, and drowned. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] None – ordinary person. [b]Current Status:[/b] Partnered with Hunger [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://pre02.deviantart.net/c1de/th/pre/i/2012/332/0/9/deep_one_by_douzen-d5mhfmi.jpg]Lamia, Aeon[/url] [b][u]# 024 – Hunger[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] An abominable, faceless invertebrate whose face is a maw. It has a horribly cheery and talkative disposition, even apologetic when it attacks, but utterly lacks mercy or an inclination to wear clothes. [b]Power:[/b] The hungriest of all is the least picky; Hunger's bearer can eat anything, even intangible and abstract things, like intelligence and masculinity. This includes magic power. Whatever it has eaten is released upon its 'demise'. It is proficient in melee combat, but its greatest strength lies in its invincibility. Though it can be damaged, Hunger never ends, and will regenerate. Hunger's bearer is only killed when the person who's done it the most harm to date dies, passing on the Arcana. [b]Current Holder:[/b] Norm (Lamprey) [b]Holder Description:[/b] Hunger's past life is unknown. The current holder of Hunger has existed far longer than most of the other Mystic Beasts. It is possible that this is the original Hunger. It likely calls itself 'Norm' as some sort of joke. [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Not applicable. [b]Current Status:[/b] Partnered with Aeon [b]Image:[/b] [url=http://orig12.deviantart.net/d3aa/f/2015/131/5/e/lamprey_by_mavros_thanatos-d8t2nkt.jpg]Norm, Hunger[/url] [b][u]# 025 – The Universe[/u][/b] [b]Description:[/b] [b]Power:[/b] When indescribably voice of the Universe beckons, all but the strongest wills must obey. It can open pockets into another universe, from which giant tentacles extrude to attack, or create spheres of rippling madness that slowly damage any who look at them and paralyze those who rupture them. It can also warp space, trapping those caught in the warps in a pocket dimension, and those who touch its yellow robe are pulled in and suffer the same fate. [b]Current Holder:[/b] A being known simply as 'the Master' (Aberration) – driven to insanity, and then complete mental destruction, after encountering a cosmic abomination in its dreams. [b]Holder Description:[/b] Unknown [b]Holder Magic:[/b] Extensive. Among them are Teleportation Magic and Slime Magic. [b]Current Status:[/b] You better believe this thing is rampant, though nobody knows where.
