ALYSSA

closed starter for   :   @arcanaei​  !

things were different here , but just as grand . and just like everyday , alyssa thanks her lucky stars for giving her the chance to bear witness to such greatness . it was just one of the many little things the stars have led her to , to blessings she believes them to be . 

the royal family she serves has been kind to her , to them , to jove . and that’s above all else she hopes for . her brother has walked next to her for years  ;  from living in the orphanage , the streets , then behind palace walls . and the years they’ve been together is a testament really , to how deeply jove had trusted her that day  —  the day the stars told her they’d be brother and sister , together until the end of days . 

alyssa breaks away from present company , hoping to find said brother as they’ve not been together since the start of the banquet . and she finds him near walls and draperies , hidden but watching just as how she would prefer herself to be . 

‘ jove , ’ she says softly , hands gently wrapping around her brother’s waist in a back hug as her eyes remain on the scene . ‘ —what fortunes do you see before you ? ’

      away from the crowd, he’s a mere spectator as he leans against the wall, eyes watching the plethora of people from different kingdoms. his face is neutral, curiosity well hidden. it would only to be detected by someone with a keen eye, someone that knows him well. it’s the first time he has left zodarc, and the cards in his hands are thrumming with energy.

      he shuffles through the deck as his eyes wander on the visitors coming from other kingdoms, some of them residents of welkin, so many from different backgrounds, different talents. he is hit with the urge to go somewhere quiet, go through the cards, do a quick reading. however, without even attempting to do so, he knows he’ll get many results, the summit is a place of tension, of different opinions and expectations.

     the arms around his waist cut his line of thought, stoic expression morphing into joy as a smile spreads across his face, his empty hand meeting his sister’s, squeezing it in her grasp. “lyssa.” he utters out gently, slowly turning in the hug, one hand going up to tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. “there’s- a lot of people, aren’t there? it’s hard to... pinpoint.”

      after a moment, he takes a small step back, eyes focused on the younger, looking up and down, wanting to make sure she’s well. “how are you ? they aren’t overworking you, are they ?”

( demi boy / chittaphon leechaiyapornkul / he / them ) JOVE ASTASEUL is FORTUNE TELLER hailing from the kingdom of ZODARC. The TWENTY - FOUR year old is traveling to the council summit because they believe in PEACE. They HAVE NOT lost their magic and possess the ability to READ FORTUNES WITH TAROT CARDS. HE is CHARMING, SWEET but also ENIGMATIC. i wonder if they’ll get what they want at the summit? 

BIOGRAPHY

he is just another kid left to the orphanage, another boy who doesn’t know his parents or where he’s from. the battle begins early in life, foster families never stick around, friendships always get cut short. jove grows a thick skin until he meets her — a young girl with a wide smile on her face, one that looks up to him with wide eyes, uttering words he knows he’ll never forget; the stars told me i'm to find you, brother.

family begins then, with alyssa. he’s hit with a strong urge to protect, make sure nothing bad happens to his sister. if there’s anything he can do for her, he doesn’t bat an eye, not wanting her to be subjected to the cruelties of life, not if he can help it.

he first realizes his skills when he finds a battered deck of tarot cards, frayed around the edges, some of them missing. the moment he touches them, he can feel the energy flowing through them, can feel the gaps of those cards that are gone. he uses placeholders as he studies the arcanae at nights, feeling more than what meets the eye.

magic runs through his veins, and they begin performing on the streets when they can. jove tries to put a few coins in their pocket by performing street acts, reading fortunes, slowly gaining experience. he’s much too young to be taken seriously at first, people either ignore him completely or think he is a beggar — it takes a while until he can actually show his magic. alyssa is by his side, and they become a two person act at times, trying to get on their own feet.

it’s one of those days that they get recognized by someone from the palace- someone who realizes jove’s magic at first, how there is truth behind his fortunes, how much he can learn by looking at a battered deck of cards. when he gets invited to a new life- he drags his feet and asks his sister to be allowed with him too — and just like that, they begin a new life, something completely unexpected.

he’s grateful- feels as if everything is too good to be true. it’s surprising how quickly life turns around- something jove hadn’t believed in when the cards spoke to him. years pass by, the woman looks to them with kindness as jove hones his magic and gains more experience. alyssa becomes the lady in waiting while jove reads fortunes, cards filled with magic.

it’s no secret that the magic has begun to flicker away, something off about how people use their talents. when the talk of a summit reaches his ears, the fact that zodarc should showcase its talents, he volunteers to be part of it. magic has been an integral part of jove’s life- and he wants to do everything he can do to help others, to protect them and the magic that runs through their veins.
