The Six of Cups
Premise

You won't find it on main street - it is quite an out-of-the-way establishment. Most likely you'll find it in some back alley where things should not be seen and even then it's not always where you think it is. Those who search for it will never find it unless they seek the truth... It is only then when the Six of Cups will be revealed to you.

Inside the dimly lit interior you will see many wondrous, strange, and mysterious things. Two of which are it's occupants; two young men who are usually referred to as the Twins or when they deem it necessary, they will supply you with a name if you ask nicely. All is not as it seems inside the Six of Cups - the young owners at time seem wise beyond their years and then at times they act just as they look. Many... exotic and arcane customers frequent the place.

Enter the Six of Cups with an open heart and mind... or reap your just rewards.

Details
A more in-depth explanation

Six of Cups was inspired by the manga The Tarot Café, and is a small bar where twin siblings give tarot readings. Both siblings are clairvoyant and can see the past, present, and possible future of their clients (but only when reading the tarot). Since the future has nearly infinite possibilities, the twins can only see one outcome through the cards. This is similar to the manga, with the exception of the twins (and possibly seeing the future strictly through the cards).

The place itself is a mixture of a bar, mystical shop, and library of occult and arcane knowledge. Customers who come to the Six of Cups are usually trying to find something whether it be their future, an ancient artifact, or simply an answer to a question they have. The Twins deal in it all, along with their employees. The bar itself keeps regular hours from approximately 12 Noon - 12 AM, however the special and unique clients they cater to can be seen after hours but at a pretty steep price. After hours payment is usually found to be some rare object, something the client is willing to give up, or an exchange of knowledge. Again, I assume this is pretty similar to the manga in terms of after hours payment as well as seeing special clients after the shop is closed.

Gameplay is quasi-free form. What does that mean? It means that for the most part, there is no set plot unless players who portray the Twins and the shop's regulars come up with something particularly interesting. For the most part, there will be small mini-plots that pertain around the shop's clients who come to the Six of Cups for whatever reason.

Announcements
A listing of announcements, updates, & info. of current storylines


Although this won't determine whether or not the game starts, it would be really nice if some character slots besides the employees were filled. Below is a listing of some example characters that would be nice to see.

Were-wolf/creature type: If you don't want to play a Werewolf per se, by all means create a different kind of Were-creature. Were-wolf/creature "lore" is completely up to you. When you send me your character form, I need your ideas about what a typical were-creature can do and how a person comes to be such creatures. (i.e. are they bitten, born, when do & how do they change, etc.)

Magical Being/Creature type: What I mean by "Magical Being/Creature" is that they are not your normal human beings. These creatures or beings have some sort of supernatural ability such as a Wizard who can cast spells, use a staff, etc. Other such magical things can involve Faeries, mythological creatures - things of that nature. To qualify as a "Magical Creature/Being," your character must be born into the "magical realm." An example would be the Twins, who are born with their clairvoyancy. Any character that can cast a spell, has a special ability, or is some kind of creature will be considered a Magical Creature or Being. Why? Because they are superhuman or "abnormal." As with the were-creatures, any known lore you want players to know about a typical magical being/creature you make must be included in your character form.

Normal Human type: If your character is human they cannot do anything magical. They cannot do spells, have abilities, etc. However... they can be connected to the magical realm whether its due to some kind of situation they got into, some magical being has an interest in them... whatever. It is up to you, but it must be feasible. If not any of that, then they must seeking the Truth in order for them to see and enter the Six of Cups.

The Cast
Listing of Current Characters


The Twins
Name: (Twin #1) TBA by player
Info.: TBD by player
RPed By: Joobilee

Name: (Twin #2) TBA by player
Info.: TBD by player
RPed By: Joobilee, unless someone else is really interested in playing one of the Twins.

Employee #1
Name: Jack Andiven, but he goes by Astriel.
Age: 15
Appearance: A young blonde boy with delicately pale, soft skin. His face is bright and youthful, always with a smile, and adored by many. His favorite colors are the pale ones, and of any color of the rainbow, and he's moften seen wearing long sleeved shirts or sweaters.
History: He's a boy born from the realm of magic, but raised as a human boy. This happens once in a long while, when the magic folk play a cruel trick upon a human couple, switching their babies at birth. It wasn't until puberty that he learned of his true being, and he found the Twins. They told him what he was, and taught him how to glamour his newfound changes to stay well hidden and conformed in the mortal world. And so, he's been returning to the Cafe for the past few years now, just last getting a job as a waiter.
Additional Info.: Without his glamour there aren't many known changes. His ears are pointed, and his eyes take on a pale, purple-blue hue that glows ever so softly. His skin also becomes as pale as snow, and his hair like like threads of silver. While he can do glamour and simple tricks that most magical beings can do, little is known about his gifts.
