What does Pentacles even mean?

It's like a talisman

...?

A magic object? You know—they use it in rituals and stuff.

Good rituals or bad rituals?

Er, both? I think?

..you think?

(...)

＊Even though the names are gendered (King and Queen), you get to decide what gender they are! Of course, I kind of want to have an equal amount of boys and girls and nonbinary peeps because too many of one gender would be boring, right?

＊For the audition roles. You must come to me in PM and give me 2-3 paragraphs of you roleplaying as that character. If I need to (which I probably won't) I would also give you a scenario to play out and we'll see from there!

＊First come first serve!＊

『The Swords』
∽The Swords are associated with mental intellect, cognitive abilities, the mind, and psychology.
∽It is represented by the element of Air, it is intangible and unseen, yet is in constant movement.

"Do monsters make wars? Or do wars make monsters?"
∽The King of Swords is a somewhat detached person towards their comrades. They are generally very stern, but treat everyone fairly.
∽They are ruled almost primarily by their intellect, and can come off as slightly arrogant at times when they speak.
∽Despite this, the King of Swords has a strong moral compass and has high ethical standards.
∽They are able to generate and manipulate wind and air. The purer the air, the easier it is to manipulate.

"If you can't handle the truth straight up, can you really handle the truth at all?"
∽The Queen of Swords is an intuitive person that, much like the King, relies very little on their emotions or never at all. They strive for knowledge to make sense of their environment or better understand others.
∽It isn't that they don't care for others, but it's easier for them to connect to other people through an intellectual understanding rather than an emotional understanding.
∽They are a highly blunt person. They're not the type to soften the blow of their words, which causes a bit of a strain in their relationship with their younger sibling the Page.
∽ While the Queens are all very close friends, the Queen of Swords feels a bit like an outcast, because the other three are all so emotional and kind, and she's just not like that. They all try to assure her that they like her just the way she is, though.
∽They are able to control the weather of their general surrounding, though the intensity, actual weather, and scale is dependent on control and focus.

Knight of Swords (1/1)
Warrior_of_Olympus
"I never want to forget. Not these memories, not any other ones."
∽The Knight of Swords is a powerful figure full of life and energy. Much like the Wands, they are very reckless and ambitious with anything and everything.
∽Was practically adopted by the Suit of Wands.
∽They are often called selfish or ruthless, as sometimes they genuinely just forget about others feelings and needs in the pursuit of their own goals.
∽They are prone to being sloppy with their work, and the others in their Suit often have to berate them or guide them.
∽They can move objects with their mind / telekinesis, and are also able to make themselves and other people levitate and even fly.

"You will be someone's best thing. I just know it."
(You must audition for this role, or be someone that I trust is a good role player)
∽An excitable little thing, the Page of Swords' only resemblance towards their older sibling, the Queen of Swords, is that both are strikingly perceptive.
∽They are something of a less refined version of the Queen, with their constant questions being much more annoying coming from them than the Queen.
∽They are a great communicator, and are idealistic to the point of optimism. They're the type that starts new ideas only to drop them once the excitement and energy wears off.
∽Their attacks are purely in the mental realm. They can reach into a person's brain and cause minor or serious brain damage. The effects of the attack depend on which part of the brain they decided to attack and the intensity depends on their control and focus.

Ace of Swords (1/1)
@das me
"I was told there's a place full of light and warmth—and for once.. I don't know where it is."
∽The Ace of Swords is a silent fellow, unusually solemn for their young age. No one knows for sure why they don't speak much, as they have the ability to, but no one wants to pry into it either.
∽They were one of the first to appear, despite being one of the youngest. The others say that they willingly surrendered himself to the government.
∽The Ace of Swords is nothing short of an enigma to even their closest comrades. No one knows their past. They do know, however, is that the Ace is a rather shy person, though very kind underneath their blank, maybe even cold outer appearance.
∽They are very protective over the other Swords, but specifically the Page of Swords, and can become quite violent if they are hurt.
∽They have enhanced senses, especially vision. They are able to pick out who everyone is even with their eyes closed and have mentioned that each person has a distinct aura, indicating they have visual synthenesia. Their main ability is that their visual synthenesia isn't like the one in our world at all. It reveals to them a person's personality, morality, and even gives them hints about the person's abilities and weaknesses. However, their power doesn't tell them anything straight up, they have to guess what their power is trying to tell them.

『The Pentacles』
∽The Pentacles are associated with the physical or external level of consciousness, this includes the more material aspects of our life like our health and our work.
∽It is represented by the element of Earth, it is nurturing and stable.

"Sorry, but I don't like having my fate decided for me."
∽While the King of Pentacles isn't the eldest, you could say they act like it the most. Out of all the Kings, they are most kingly; possibly due to the royal blood in their veins.
∽He considers his self worth as what he can give to others, and can be as selfless as The Hanged Man, just with a bit more care for himself.
∽The King of Pentacles is more older brotherly than fatherly; with their constant teasing and playful rough housing that's much more prominent with their Suit and the Ace of Wands.
∽They are able to manipulate nature. This includes anything from plants to rocks.

Queen of Pentacles (1/1)
@lee310804
"My father hated pain. But father, if I do not take lives. I cannot live."
∽The Queen of Pentacles isn't exactly a motherly figure. They're more like the grandmother/grandfather, actually. They are the one that always makes sure that everyone is eating and healthy but they also encourage individuality and independence in their Suit, and so doesn't try to meddle in the others businesses the way the Queen of Cups does.
∽Not that the way the Queen of Cups does things is wrong, that's not what they think at all. They are very close with them, even compared to how close all the Queens are
(it's again up to you guys if you want them to have a platonic or romantic relationship ^^)
∽They have a tendency to cut themselves off from their comrades, much like The Hermit. They struggle finding the balance of not smothering others and not being distant, either.
∽They are able to make plants rapidly grow and often use vines as a means of offense and defense.

Knight of Pentacles (0/1)
"Don't you think it's kind of cruel to put little kids through this shit?"
∽The knight of pentacles is as firm as the metal they wield. As the second eldest, they are sturdy and sure, methodical in their approach and calculating in a way that could be quite intimidating.
∽They strive for perfection in a way that is similar to Temperance. They never leave a job half done, and don't tolerate laziness.
∽A fiercely loyal and fiercely stubborn person; you can never change the knight of pentacle's mind once they've made it up.
∽A metal bender, the Knight is able to manipulate and shape metal. They work in tandem with the Ace of Wands to create weapons for the others.

"I know I'm weak, but please, if any god is even up there. Please let me protect them!"
∽If you've ever begun a project, and worked on it like crazy for a few months or weeks, but suddenly lost interest and dropped it, well, that's pretty much the Page of Pentacle's their whole life.
∽They are a very 'in the moment' type of person, and are not set for long term goals at all. While it's worked for them so far, it often leads to them freaking out a lot when they are asked about the future.
∽(Must have an incurable disease that would cause them to die early. Must also believe they deserve the disease). It's severity is to the point that their Suit is concerned that they just simply believe that they don't have a future, and they sort of don't. They've never told anyone of their illness, not even their best friend the Ace of Pentacles, whom could possibly heal them.
∽They are able to enhance others' abilities using potions, however, this increases the chance of backfires or side effects so it's used sparingly. They are also able to 'up' physical stats as well such as a person's speed or pain tolerance.

"People are mirrors. If you smile, a smile will be reflected back."
∽The Ace of Pentacles is someone who always puts 1000% into things. When they invest into someone or something, that person or thing will be their Most Important thing.
∽They are a very fulfilling person, full of stories and life. Conversations with the Ace of Pentacles always end with you learning something new.
∽They love to experiment, and cannot stand when things fall into normality. This can make them very unpredictable. No one knows how they're going to spice things up, just that they definitely will. To them, life is a giant science experiment; what happens if you add new 'variables' to the 'control group'?
∽They are a healer, much like the Page of Cups, and uses energy (life force) from the surroundings to heal both themselves and others.
