I'm embarking on the creation of an utterly enormous story and am using the meanings behind tarot cards as an integral part of it.
In this story there are 12 realms with a number of 'heroes' each. The heroes number from 1 to 12, for a total (1+2+3+...+12) of 78 characters. These characters are supposed to together embody the many facets of the human spirit and I was hoping to give them each a tarot card.
For each character, the tarot card could represent their mindset at the start of their personal journey, the attitude or action they always fall back on, or the most important point in their journey. Certainly these 78 characters do not all follow the path of the typical hero, many turning to darker paths or having their life ended before their path could even take shape. Rather, they are all meant to be very human and their card is simply something I can call back to as a reminder of who they are.
My request is for advice on if this idea seems good at all, if a single tarot card is too narrow of a meaning to apply to a character, and finally for help splitting the tarot deck into a dynamic and usable cast.
This thread specifically will be used for answering large scale global questions. If you think about it and ask some questions and you're still on board for helping, I'm guessing PMs, email, or a small Skype group would be the best way to facilitate the discussion.
Thank you!
