Sooo I'm kind of new here, and this roleplay caught my eye.
Here's my character form - a young amnesiac who represents the Death Arcana.
I have to say, though... designing characters with Tarot cards in mind is actually really good fun. Like, the Death card can mean the end of one thing bringing forth the beginning of another thing. When I read that - the whole amnesiac element of this character came to mind. But that's enough of that, here's the form of an amnesiac without much of a clue.
July 27th - I've edited the form slightly. It's now got little titles for personality aspects and the like. Aside from that, I've also reduced the number of sentences connected - like this (because I just had way too many), and resized both the images of Ishido and Colossus to be larger, but also in hiders so they don't take up as much space.
Along with that, section names like appearance, skills, personality are now in bold.
So there's my form. I'm sorry if there's any glaring errors or things that need to be elaborated on; however, I'll try to fix up any errors in the form as soon as I can.

“To be completely honest, I hardly even know myself...”
Name: Ishido Yoichi
Age: 16.
Gender: Male
Arcana: Death
Equipment:
- A notebook in which Ishido occasionally jots down notes. Notably, he’s begun taking down notes on people, and things.
- A blue scarf and a red cape – both souvenirs given to him by Mr and Mrs Yoichi. He wears these as often as he can.
- A phone, also given to him by the Yoichi family. Unfortunately, Ishido doesn’t have anyone registered…
Skills:
Writing - Ishido’s writing ability is surprisingly refined; at least with a pen and paper.
Cleaning - He's gained a talent for cleaning - as he often cleans for the Yoichi family, to help them out.
Getting Lost - Ishido is skilled at getting lost.
Learning - Ishido is more than willing to learn new skills – perhaps his most useful skill of all.
Appearance:
Ishido also wears a blue scarf and a small red cape on his back.
Personality:
Curiosity - Ishido’s defining trait is that he’s very, very curious. Due to his memory loss, there’s a lot he doesn’t know – and it’s not just limited to his past identity. Ishido loves to learn about things that take his interest.
A Blank, Empty Slate - Ishido feels like he’s a blank slate compared to everyone else, due to his memory loss. While other people have been through all sorts of things – Ishido’s essentially been around for only over three months, and hardly has anything to tell others.
A Seeker of Purpose - Ishido seeks a purpose in life – but this proves to be a challenge for the amnesiac. Not only dose he look for a purpose, he also seeks out hobbies.
Calm and Awkward - Ishido usually has a calm, aloof demeanour – but, despite this, he’s surprisingly chatty and social with people he’s comfortable with at times, contrary to his quiet personality. He can also be quite awkward.
Devoted to His Friends, Passive to Others - One particular trait of Ishido’s is that he is very devoted to his friends. If a good friend of Ishido’s was in a pinch, Ishido would fight tooth and nail to help them out. However, Ishido doesn’t make friends easily, as he’s very passive. While he does want to make friends, he waits for them to come to him. But, if you make friends with Ishido... you could very well have a friend for life, who is willing to take the fall for you in dire situations.
Protective - Ishido can be somewhat snarky and hostile to people who wrong him or his friends.
Mimic - Subconsciously, Ishido tends to occasionally mimic the behaviour of others… to varying success. Along with this, he learns from how other people go about doing things.
Socially Clueless - Ishido isn’t exactly too aware of social norms. He’ll occasionally head up the street when he’s dressed for bed, and a majority of the time, Ishido wears a short cape in public often – along with a scarf, even when it’s not winter. Ishido is attached to both the cape and the scarf – they were given to him as gifts by Mrs Yoichi.
Gives Things a Go - Ishido is more than happy to take chances to try out new things; even if he’s got no knowledge of it. If a meal needed to be cooked – Ishido would certainly give it a go, even though he’s got little to no talent in the field.
Occasionally Drifts Off - Ishido is also prone to spacing out if his intention isn’t piqued.
Biography:
Ishido is someone who could easily be described as an enigma… both to others, and himself. Essentially, Ishido has amnesia – he can’t remember anything before January 17th, 2016.
Ishido awoke to two figures – a husband and a wife, Mr and Mrs Yoichi. The two of them were utterly surprised that Ishido woke up… though Ishido realized he had no idea who he was talking to, nor how he ended up where he was. Ishido attempted to think through what he’d done previously, what could've possibly got him in his situation… but nothing came to mind. He couldn’t recall anything he’d done, not even his name.
Both Mr and Mrs Yoichi were shocked to hear that the amnesiac boy didn’t know even his name, but they quickly took him in – under the name of ‘Ishido Yoichi’ – the name of the Yoichi’s family’s adopted son, who had went missing seven years ago. Ishido found himself touched by this kind act.
From that day forth, Mr and Mrs Yoichi tried their best to educate the amnesiac Ishido… but they found that he hadn’t forgotten everything. He already knew how to perform most subjects at a passable level for a first year in senior high – with the exception of mathematics, where he struggled heavily. They didn’t need to teach him much – after all, school would do a good job of that. And, Ishido found that a large amount of what Mr and Mrs Yoichi tried to teach him was incorrect.
Ishido concluded that Mr and Mrs Yoichi weren’t the brightest bulbs in the box after they claimed they’d lived in Shikatsu for twenty years… even though they frequently got lost when attempting to tour him around. He couldn’t fault Mr and Mrs Yoichi for this, however – both of them were in their sixties, and they’d taken him in out of the kindness in their hearts... and Ishido wasn't exactly a bright bulb, either, for he seemed to have a knack for getting lost.
Ishido felt he owed a debt to the two of them, and so he helped out around the house whenever possible, to which the two of them were grateful.
Around March was when Ishido began to wonder… just who was he? He hadn’t really thought too hard on it before, but he’d lost all memory prior to January 17th. But Ishido didn’t know where to start as he didn’t have the slightest clue to his previous identity. Asking Mr and Mrs Yoichi proved fruitless, too. They claimed they had a rough idea, but their memory was hazy.
Days later, Mr and Mrs Yoichi suggested Ishido go to school as soon as possible. It took a while for Ishido and Mr and Mrs Yoichi to find Uchima Senior High, but Ishido was enlisted as a student with little trouble.
That following week, he discovered that Mr and Mrs Yoichi had spent the last of their savings on getting Ishido into Uchima Senior High. Ishido was grateful, and helped out the Yoichis as much as he could to repay them.
Ishido was excited for when Uchima Senior High opened back up. April 21st was what Mr. Yoichi said was the opening date, but this was incredibly incorrect, because as it would turn out... the school year started on April 5th. None of the Yoichi family knew this.
Along with that, Ishido attempted to get to Uchima Senior High on the 21st… only to get lost and end up heading back home. At the present moment, Ishido is travelling the streets – desperately looking for Uchima Senior High…
