Tarot cards picked for this character: 7 of pentacles, 9 of swords, and Judgment. (Tiny Universal Waite Deck)
This is my first time trying this with tarot cards and the cards seem contradictory at first glance.
Physical appearance - dark brown hair, a bit long and wavy, athletic from spending time outdoors, doing manual labor, tall, broad shouldered from lifting shovel or ax. He dresses simply, plain clothing, not showing off his body. Prefers work clothes, jeans and t-shirt, comfort is more of a priority.
Strength - called to a Higher Purpose, having to move between one world and the other, sometimes torn between duty on Earth and his Calling.
Flaw - let's nightmares and past events have too much influence on present actions. Easily confuses strength of emotion for passion of purpose and makes poor decisions based on emotional outbursts.
In looking over what I thought up, it makes me think of JR Ward's character in the Fallen Angel's books, Jim Heron, former special forces type turned angel.
When I started writing the description I wasn't consciously thinking of him, but now Jim is the only thing I think of looking this over. I really want to work on more original and creative characters and plots. I'm hoping this kind of exercise will help with my originality.
I actually did this exercise on March 3rd and decided to post it here.
