Arcana

The Sun.

The Sun has long been a symbol for energy, vitality, joy and happiness. Strong and powerful, his radiance blessed any creative or spiritual endeavours. In readings, you will understand Card 19 if you imagine yourself to be a Sun God. How do you think and feel? You have total confidence in yourself. You are not cocky, but profoundly sure of your power. You have unlimited energy and glow with health. You have a greatness about you and stand out brilliantly. Finally, you see and understand all that is happening within your sphere. When you see this card, know that you will be successful at all you undertake. Now is the time to let your light shine.

This is a break through card. So often we go through the motions of our lives, wondering if we'll come out of the dark, curious if all our hard work is ever going to pay off. The Sun card is a clear message, that yes, indeed the proverbial flowers in the garden of life that we've painstakingly cared for are about to come in full bloom. When the vibrancy of the Sun card shines in a reading, everything is coming up roses.

Some frequent keywords used by tarot readers are:

• Optimism---Expansion---Being radiant---Positive feelings

• Enlightenment---Vitality---Innocence---Non-criticism

• Assurance---Energy---Personal power---Happiness

• Splendor---Brilliance---Joy ---Enthusiasm

Shadow

Name: España, instead of the English name ‘Spain’.

Description: Spain will be wearing a dark black uniform, a whip and a gun and he will look paler. His demeanor it’s the most evident difference, he barely smiles and when he does it’s so cynic and frightening that you want him to stop. He is serious and talks in a cold controlled voice.

Personality:  Spain shadow’s personality comes mostly from all the years he was under the dictatorship rule and his frustrations as a failed role model for his colonies. He will not trust strangers or be open to anybody, even those he knows, but at the same time he will force those he likes to stay with him. Don’t come near him, Lovino, for your sake.

He is not crazy. He’s is plain and simply cruel, and that is, if something, more scary than him being crazy without a reason. He has no mercy because there's no point on being compassionate and he likes things done his way because it’s the correct one. If you saw the movie ‘Pan's Labyrinth’ (Spanish: El Laberinto del Fauno, "The Labyrinth of the Faun") then imagine Spain’s personality has a darker version of the villain, Captain Vidal. He is deranged, a cynic who doesn't try to justify or explain his cruel acts. After all there's no way to justify fascism.

Let's use a example, If you offer him the wrong hand in order to greet him, the will crush your arm with his grip in order to make you remember the correct way. His shadow is nice like that :|

I can see that he and V will get along really well.

Dungeon/Enviroment: A place where normal Spain will never ever go if it’s not forced to do it, and that’s it’s El Real Monasterio de El Escorial. It’s a giant place built by General Franco to remember the dead of Spain's Civil War and his tomb. It’s situated in El Valle de Los Caídos (Valley of the Fallen) a truly chilling memorial to Spanish fascism. The site is marked by a huge cross, nearly 500 feet tall, which can be seen from 20 miles away, and which continues to grow, almost beyond reason, as you approach more closely along pine covered slopes. The cross and basilica were built by the forced labor of Republican prisoners after the civil war, oh irony.

The Shadow's 'True Form'

Name: It doesn't respond to any name, let's call him only 'The Dark Beast.'

Description: Spain’s Shadow looks exactly like that, a dark black shadow with the shape of a wolf with one eye, the left one. There’s a long scar that crosses the blind right eye. It also wears a necklace with cross around his neck.

Level: 53

Persona

Name: Hispania

Description: Opposite to his shadow, his persona looks like a Giant golden dog/wolf.

Spain is a nation, I didn’t really wanted to give him a persona with a determinate sex, and the same with Prussia. That’s why their personas represent in some way the animals associated with them. For a moment I wanted to give Spain a giant tomato as persona but…no >>’

Level: 65

Role/Category: Healer.
Elemental Resistance:
You could consider Sun to be a stronger version of Justice. Both Arcana shrug off Light attacks and are weak to dark attacks. However, Sun Personas generally eschew wielding Light attacks of their own in favor of a diverse body of general offensive spells.

Resist: Wind
Block: None
Absorb: Fire
Reflect: Light
Weak: Dark

Ziodyne                   Inflicts heavy Electricity damage upon one enemy.
Death                      Bound Inflicts heavy physical damage upon all enemies.
High Counter        20% chance of repelling an enemy's physical attack.
Auto-Maraku            Automatically casts Marakukaja at the start of the battle
Power Charge          Physical attack damage dealt next turn more than doubles
Elec Amp            Increases Electricity magic damage by 50%
Evade Physical           Triples evasion rate against physical attacks
Enduring Soul           Fully recovers HP when HP is depleted to zero (effect lasts only once per battle)

Oh god, was it ever! The scariest parts are what happens in the "real world" and not the Labyrinth, which I think was the point of the whole film.

Dammit, not Aoko, too... D:

EXACTLY! it's in fact a movie more about the Spanish war and the resistance than the fairy tale world. :<

Aoko too, yessummm...

Indeed! I love how they show Videl's cruelty...


I-I'm glad you liked it! I'm very tempted to make the events canon, if you agree to it... /shot!

...And they don't try to justify it. Me too.

Sure thing >8) The towerclockthat it hsi dungeon is supposed to have a lot of rooms with a lot of beds, Hakuba is in another different one, on the higher part of the tower of course.

I'm going to end up pulling that movie out and watching it tonight...

Yay! More trauma for everyone! I have to ask, though, how much will Hakuba remember while he was possessed by his Shadow?

He does. But I do blame this exchange with Shadow!Naoto for some of his issues, though...

:O *knows what to get you for your birthday now!* What region setting do DVDs use in Spain? Region 2, I think?

...I swear to god, one of these days, our muses are going to murder us in our sleep.

You have no idea how hard it was to write that, believe me!

Aww you don't have to, really :D..yes Region2♥

Really? It was kind of sad.

It's either that, or Castle of Cagliostro!

That's what made it so hard to write! Because of how badly it would hurt Hakuba. But that's what Shadows do, really...
