The Major Arcana:: (The Wheel of) Fortune

IT'S A MIRROR AT 1.40
I KNOW IT'S UNCLEAR. I HAD NO CLUE HOW TO GO ABOUT IT XD

To summarise:
The wheel of fortune's a bit of a dick, really.


LOL but seriously. he is. ._.
Although seeing as he has next-to-nothing power and HUMAN EMOTION all of a sudden Fortune's character may be open for a little development~

S t o r y :
Once upon a time there lived a Carnival Fortune Teller, who specialised in reading the tarot. The Carnival paraded through town every year, and it was during this day the Major Arcana was released.
Fortune's card was in use when he was released/brought into the human world. At first he was all like - YES, BITCHES, I CAN RULE NOW. Why does he want to rule the mortal world? Idk, for shiggles? More fun then just making trees lose their leaves over and over again.
Fortune lashes out at Falicier/random carnival man who thinks he's a demon for some warped reason. He scares him with some possible visions of a bad, bad changes, and then tries to escape. He then runs into a mirror [idk, Faclier lives in a funhouse?] and then he soon realises that's he's turned into a pubescent teenage boy. Defiant, he tries to use his power to shift forms anyway, but his hand starts to bleed and he realises he's mortal. If he does anything more than what he did to Falicier, his human form will split at the seams, and he will die.
No, I have no clue what happened to Naveen either. Poor guy. Can never catch a break.

Personality:
-The wheel represents change or new opportunities. Often represents the elements as well.
-Never try to control it! It never works out! 'Those meet their destiny on the path they take to avoid it!'
-The wheel is surrounded by four figures on the card - The man, the eagle, the ox and the lion. I used this for when he is released as a kind of explanation, but then it just became being there for 'looking epic' purposes. XD
-He's two faced. Or ten faced. He *is* change after all, so don't expect him to be very stable.
-While being a card that most people were excited about, the Wheel of Fortune does not always mean good change. Again, we have the instability.
-Fortune's always floated around like he owned the universe, and he still maintains that attitude although he is essentially a millionth of his past power.
-He HATES stagnation [things staying the same]. Which is understandable I guess. He gets bored very, very easily and isn't going to be hanging around one place for long. The only thing he hates more than that is being restricted or controlled by something else.
-Actually, in that sense, being transformed into a hormonal teenage boy is quite fitting. He sure acts like one. Arrogant, easily bored, mood swings, hating oppression...
-Yes, here he may seem a little bit scary, but his family is his family. As said before, he's temperamental. Change is a good thing, most of the time, and so is he. Don't be afraid to approach him, people! Unless you're the Magician, he may not welcome you so warmly [The Wheel can also represent the underlying order that the Magician attempts to master, so yeh, not very good vibes there between them two. XD]

He has never really experienced being anything like a human before. He was fate, he controlled, he lived, he was the elements, everything that changed, that moved. He was used to being this one great big blob of influence and now he's simply a boy. This frustrates him immensely, knowing that someone, somewhere, has managed to change him, for a change [lol, puns].
Though, being the great big blob of influence had its perks and he, like his siblings, knows quite a lot. But, all in all, the most useful thing Fortune can do is throw some visions of possible bad futures at you to scare you a little. But, Fortune DOES know how to behave as a human, and is probably, right now, sitting in some tavern brooding and waiting for one of his smarter siblings to find him.

Fortune intends to find the sorcerer and get him to give him his powers back without limitation. He does NOT want to return back to the world of Tarot, because he wasn't in charge back there, he had to share power with his brothers and sisters, and that's no fun. How he plans to get the sorcerer to do this, however, is unclear.


Editor's notes:
I'm am so pumped for this, I do hope I get in!!
ORANGE IS JIMS COLOUR. FO' SERIOUS. I FOUND THIS MUCH EASIER THAN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. COORDINATING COLOURS? YESPLZ.
Anyone who can guess where the opening music 'Carnival of the Damned' is from gets major respect from me. Seriously. I highly doubt anyone can guess where it's from, but if you do, I will die a thousand happy deaths. No joke.
NO FRIKKIN WHEELS IN DISNEY. LIKE EVAR. I'm pretty proud of that slightly clichéd clip at the end, though. Wheels. Gah.
ISN'T CHANGE, LIKE, THE VAGUEST TAROT EVER? LOL. PROBABLY WHY I FELT DRAWN TO IT. XDDD

You have gotten better and better with each video you do and they are more and more amazing everytime I see them!!! I love this the plot of it is really neat and the sounds and the coloring the flickering static works so perfect. I love how Jim escaped you made him seem so very hard and amasome!!! I love his text and that he tries to change into another form but just can't! I am definitely going to be following Jim's story closely! The storyline and the way the clips mesh is just flawless

[AreYouNormalBass]

@MicMic18 Awww, thanks, hun! I'm really glad you liked the flickering static effect.. it took me a while to get the transparacy right etc.. :D

[Angelwing1138]

I'm probably so, so, so very wrong, but the beginning sounds like something from 'Carnivale'. : /

I've never properly watched the show, but I've listened to a few of the songs. And I dunno. Guuuh.

[AreYouNormalBass]

@Angelwing1138 It's not Carnivale - but I can so see why you think that!

YOU SEEM SO DOWN D: DON'T BE. -huggles-

[Angelwing1138]

@AreYouNormalBass I learned this after I hunted down the OST for Carnivale and I was like, '...WELL DAMN. D:'

I SORRY. *huggles* I think I must've been sleepy or frustrated at a story or somethin'. : <

[AreYouNormalBass]

@Angelwing1138 DON'T APOLOGISE D: -huggles still-

Lol, I'm totally grouchy when I'm sleepy too. XD

[DarkAngelKisses13th]

Oh daaaaamn

I was completely unable to look away. This was gorgeous to look at and the opening was especially eerie.

[AnalieSkywind]

Never mess with fate.

Will you and your awesomeness adopt me? xDD

I love this. <3 I think all the effects with Jim's eyes is my favorite part.

And the beginning. And the middle. And the end. xDD

[Angelwing1138]

@AreYouNormalBass D: *huggles back still*

Hahaa, I think a lot of people do. No energy=no will to be cheerful in my mind. xD;
