(Your welcome, and I do kind of know how to read the cards so it's wasn't as much work. I think these cards fit fairly well, although Quinn's might be a little off.)

(That sounds amazing, and I've always wanted to learn how to read tarot cards as well. And, I think that the cards should fit Oliver and Quinn in the roleplay.)

@AvaM_Star

(Well the golden thread tarot app is a good place to start learning about the cards they have short and quick explanations of each card that are accurate. If you would like to learn it's a good starting point and free.)

@AvaM_Star

(By the way Scarlet the Magician is an really good pick for the twins. To be honest for me they would have been really hard to give a card to because of the way their personalities are. And I'm thinking that there card gets tore in half and each get a half. Dose that sound ok?)

@AvaM_Star

(I'd go with the high priestess. The High Priestess is a card of mystery, stillness and passivity. This card suggests that it is time to retreat and reflect upon the situation and trust your inner instincts to guide you through it. Things around you are not what they appear to be right now. Upright card (keywords): Spiritual insight, Hidden talents, Intuition, Things yet to be revealed, Mystery
Reversed card (keywords): Secrets, Information withheld, Lack of personal harmony)

(do you have any ideas for sam, even though they didn't pop up that much?)

@AvaM_Star

(I'm currently only pulling from the major arcana, but if any of these don't seem right I will dig though the Minor arcana)

(Maybe Judgment: Meaning: This card is referred to as a time of resurrection and awakening, a time when a period of our life comes to an absolute end making way for dynamic new beginnings.
Upright card (keywords): Decision making, Transition, Renewal, Redemption, Awakening, Reincarnation
Reversed card (keywords): Stagnation, Self-doubt, Poor logic, Poor or hasty judgement.)

@AvaM_Star

(It's called Dark Deals and here is my pitch:

Through out all of history angels, humans, and demons have made deals to get what they want. These contracts were common and powerful in the past, but recently deals have stop being made and the beings that used to make contacts and even the art making deals have faded into legend. Now in modern day a new deal maker appears and is making trouble disrupting the current power balance. People are getting hurt and some are dyeing as a result of the contracts going bad. Like a genies wish it never turns out like used expect. Now a small group of angel solders, young demons, and mages are set out to find and stop this new deal maker before he sends the world spinning in to chaos, but when they find him will they be able to resist making a deal them selfs?)

@AvaM_Star

So Thanatos is probably death not because of the obvious, but the death card is about cycles and how yea everything has an end, but also a beginning. upright: is about accepting change and reversed: is about fighting it. when you draw this card it mean that there is a large and important change going to happen in your life.

Azrael I don't remember a lot about him so if you maybe you could repost his character that could help me.

@Hallowed_Xeno

Name: Azrael
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Fairy tale/Story Parent: Chernabog (From Fantasia)
Appearance: Azrael is tall and lanky, standing at a towering 7”6. He is thin but not in the sense that he is weak, his body is well muscled and strong. His skin is a pale and sickly and his face is angular and pointed with a sharp nose and a strong jaw. His eyes are a startling yellow and his pupils are slits like a cat. He has dark bags under his eyes giving the impression that he hasn't slept. His hair is long and unkempt sticking in every direction and his bangs often cover his eyes. He wears a woven shirt under a long sleeved shirt as well as long pants and boots. (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/293226625729950064/ This is him)
Personality: Azrael is cruel and sadistic, he feels no greater pleasure then watching the agony of his enemies. Past that he is quite comedic, making jokes often but mostly at the expense of others. Those traits alone normally scare others off but those who can look past that and can gain his trust would find a loyal friend and companion who would do anything for them.
Backstory: (Will be revealed over time.)
Other: His body can transform into a more demonic form e.g. Wings, horns, fangs, claws. Also, his father being the god of darkness and the night allows him to be able to control and solidify shadows turning them into deadly weapons. Not only that but he also has the potential to be able to summon legions of demons to fight for him but he has no control of this power. The only creature that he can summon is his pet shadow hound "Nox"

@Hallowed_Xeno

fun fact because I have a recent obsession with angels! Azrael is also the angel (or archangel - it varies) of death

That’s how I got his name

I’m fairly well versed in my mythology

So if you want to stay in the major arcana then the Devil:
Meaning: It represents being seduced by the material world and physical pleasures. Also living in fear, domination and bondage, being caged by an overabundance of luxury, discretion should be used in personal and business matters.
Upright card (keywords): Temptation, Unhealthy relationships, Enslavement, Materialism, Bondage, Fear, Feeling trapped
Reversed card (keywords): Freedom from restraints, Breaking from addictions, Divorce

So I don't think the above fits very well, but it does fit "better" than the others; because the majority of what is left are cards about tradition (the hierophant, the Chariot, Strength, the hermit, and justice), Going with the flow(the wheel of fortune), Self sacrifice (the hanged man), Unity (the lovers), Cataclysm/Sudden change (the tower), Recovery (The star), Success (the sun), the archetypical mother(The empress) and father (the emperor). Lastly there is The World which is about conclusions and endings.

But if your willing to use the minor arcana I'd recommend The Knight of Swords:
When we are thoroughly obsessed by a certain idea and strongly wish to manifest it, we are oftentimes so blinded by the actual desire for its fulfillment that we fail to note the difficulties which we may come across, or the actions and consequences that it could bring. The Knight of Swords is a very powerful figure that is full of life as well as energy. This needs to be [but not always] balanced with a proper and actual realization of compassion and responsibility.

This reversed Knight is incredibly impatient, impulsive and bursting with energy. This person has so much energy but so little direction that this results in them making rash decisions and pulling down others with them.

@AvaM_Star

Yeah and sorry for the long part in the middle, but I didn't want you to think I was saying that he was less important by recommending a card from the minor arcana. It's just the major only has 22 cards and none of them fit the archetype that Azrael represents.
