Everyone who plays around with Tarot cards long enough winds up with a “bad” card that they love. I just barely persuaded my husband not to get the Ten of Swords tattooed on his body; traditionally, it shows a corpse with ten swords stuck in their body and means “utter ruin,” but he thought that if it took ten swords to kill you, then you must have put up a pretty good fight.
honestly this is the most badass ten of swords interpretation i've ever heard. i'm stealing this
i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

⊱ BIRTH WEIGHT: Average

⊱ SIBLINGS: He has 3 older brothers, who had all left home shortly before he reached his 5th summer.
⊱ PARENTS: He is the son of a dickhead most untrustworthy mage named Emelen, he doesn’t recall his mother’s name.
⊱ PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT: he was raised by his father until he was 12, with some input from his paternal uncle. His mother was absent from his life since his birth, and he assumed that she had passed away. Given that she was human, she certainly is at this stage of his life.

⊱ PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE: He’s happy in both a dominant and a more submissive role, depending on the vibe of the encounter. It’s the age-old battle of Top vs Service Top.

⊱ TURN OFFS: Inconsistency, dishonesty, arrogance, lack of initiative, childishness

⊱ MENTAL ‘DISORDERS’: Man’s full of PTSD but you aren’t getting that out of him. He experiences nightmares more than he would care to admit, and unless you spend a few nights with him its likely not going to be something that you will learn freely.
⊱ MENTAL ILLNESSES: None aside from the above.
⊱ PHYSICAL ILLNESSES: He has no physical illnesses, but he does have pain from time to time from the manner of his upbringing but won’t generally complain of it. He’s long since accepted it and pays it very little mind.

⊱ PHOBIAS: Heights make him uncomfortable, but he can talk himself through it.
⊱ SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL: Self-assured and comfortable with himself
