Arcanights - Semi-Open Species

--------- CHECK THIS BULLETIN FOR CUSTOMS ! ----------

--

I've been working on these guys for a few months and I think I'm finally ready to get some feedback on them/start seeing if anyone's interested. I don't have any really nice, completed visual guides or anything like that, but I think there's enough information here if anyone wants to make their own. I'm always happy to answer questions and take feedback, too!

This is just me throwing a bunch of info and ideas out there, but if people are interested I'll be looking into making a world/masterlist and making more adoptables of them myself. I'd be thrilled if enough people liked it that we could make a community for rp and stuff but??? We'll see I guess!

ARCANIGHTS

Arcanights are magically created artificial beings who's souls are bound to tarot cards. They act as guides and guardians, bonding to one human and devoting their existence to helping their chosen partner in achieving their goals. 

Here's the species weebly for more information!

SEMI-OPEN?

All of the information and lore provided pertains to Minor Arcanights -- Arcanights who are born from cards of the minor arcana in the tarot. Anyone is free to make their own Minor Arcanight! 

You can make Minor Arcanights for yourself or a friend, but you cannot sell Arcanights as adoptables! 

I haven't decided what to do about the major arcana yet (the fool, the magician, etc.), but I feel that they'll be much rarer and distinct visually from any Minor Arcanights. I'm also unsure about making distinctions for court cards in the minor arcana (Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings), so I'll ask that you refrain from making those until proper guidelines for them can be made. Court cards and the Major Arcana are the equivalent of uncommon and rare variations of the species, so they will be different visually. I'm just not sure how yet -- if anyone has any suggestions or ideas or anything like that, please tell me about them!


SO YEAH that's what I've got, thanks for reading all that if you read it all! Questions/feedback/complaints/whatever are welcome!

Ezri

MyMinty You're welcome to make your own, yes! I don't know much about Oracle cards at all, but I can try to find some helpful links for learning about tarot cards if anyone needs them!

coffeebean

MyMinty

Ezri yes please

Ezri

coffeebean thank you, I hope so too! Although if I end up keeping him that's totally fine with me  oops


MyMinty Aside from like Wikipedia and that sort of thing, BiddyTarot has a lot of good info on the basics, and short and sweet interpretations for all of the cards! Another site I use a lot is Raven's Tarot Site, which can be kind of hard to navigate but has a lot of interesting interpretations and details. A lot of the details aren't set in stone, and there are a TON of other sites and books with their own descriptions, but those two are the ones I use the most personally!
