Alright, let's get this thread back on track for the remaining -7+ posts.

So, I was reading about the Major Arcana for (yet another) not-RWBY-related idea. In the process, I remembered about the Thoth Tarot from Aleister Crowley, and decided to do a bit of research.

For the most part, the Thoth Tarot deck is like the Rider Waite deck that is more well-known. However, some cards in the major and minor arcanas have their names, and sometimes their numbers, altered. In some cases, the "new" cards have different meanings from the originals.

In some cases, they remained practically the same:

I-The Magician > I-The Magus

II-The High Priestess > II-The Priestess

X-The Wheel of Fortune > X-Fortune.

In other cases, they are far more different:

VIII-The Strength/Fortitude > XI-The Hunger/Lust

XI-The Justice > VIII-The Adjustment

XIV-The Temperance > XIV-The Art

XX-The Judgement > XX-The Aeon.

XXI-The World > XXI-The Universe

With the Court Cards, they are more in-between:

Page > Princess, Knight > Prince, King > Knight. Queen remains the same.

There are also some differences for the Swords, Wands, Disks and Cups suits, but that would be too wordful. The Ilustration are also different to varying extents.

Now, the one I'm more focused on at the moment is Hunger. It is like a darker Strength, almost an Inverse Strength.

See, Strength symbolizes the power of self-control. Power born from gentleness, determination, courage and virtue instead of brute force.

Hunger/Lust, meanwhile, symbolizes losing control. The bliss of abusing power. It also symbolizes strength, but in this case it's a fake power, born not from willpower and control, but from dominance over others, often by fear and tyranny.

.....So, how would one reflect the Hunger in a Semblance?
