Rules: do a random  Three Card Tarot Draw then see what it is on the Tarot Ask List, tag some peeps.

Character: Isaak - at the beginning of Fulfilling Dreams

The High Priestess: When has trusting their instincts paid off for your character?

Befriending Tori. She was new to the area when I met her, didn’t understand Russian, and was having a tricky time settling in. She started at the academy and didn’t do so well with set up because of how different it was from what she was used to. I decided to get to know her. 

She’s one of my closest friends. 

The Fool: When has your character been excited to start a new journey?

The day Uncle Akaal told me that Uncle Isha and Aunt Aither are making my dream of going to the moon and having a farm happen! I am studying as hard as possible to make sure I will not let them down.

Death: When has your character had to let go of something in their life?

As a child, I used to want one last conversation with my parents. It was not to be. That was hard to accept but I eventually did.

Isaak: meaning of the cards based on my conversation with Aunt Sitara who read them for me.

The High Priestess:  intuitive, unconscious, inner voice

The Fool: innocence, new beginnings, free spirit

Death: end of cycle, beginnings, change, metamorphosis

I’d say this is a great combination for the life I am working on building. The one where I get to go to the moon and have my farm! I know it won’t be easy, there will be times where curling in a ball sounds like a great idea, but it’s still going to be worth it.

Developing Isaak Masterlist

Character: Isaak

Rules: answer the questions in as little or much details as you want, tag some peeps

What would you be if:

Non-human Race: gnome or elf. Gnomes because of their connection to small animals and nature. Elves because they are nature-tied too.

Shapeshifter second form: rooster! 

Elemental type: earth, as he loves both animals and plants

If you special abilities would it be:

Magic, psionics or both? magic

Primary field of specialty: elemental - mainly for the ties to nature, encouraging plant growth, helping animals, finding water, so many useful things. 

Secondary specialty: necromancy - all things in life ends, being able to do so with the least amount of pain would be a good thing.

Weakest specialty: transfiguration - changing shapes and properties not something he has a lot of interest in.
