[QUOTE="Mik, post: 376183, member: 6552"] Not harsh at all - brainstorming is about sorting good ideas out of junk :) Perhaps your killer has a deck that needs souls bound to it - ripped either from individuals who embody the face of the card or who perish in a manner reflecting the card. Going back to the crazed alchemist idea and spiritual journey that Talaysen brought up along with Taren's post, perhaps your killer is attempting to attain a higher state of being, but isn't willing to go through the normal channels. Instead, he/she/it has discovered the deck. After each of the first 21 cards is completed, the souls used to power it will flow into the killer, lifting them to become The World; enlightnened, perhaps divine. Fool: an innocent youth, as you mention Magus, Magician, or Juggler: a troubadour, trickster, or gambler Empress: a mother, or a death during childbirth Emperor: a father figure ... and so on... Once a victim is killed, their soul is ripped away, and the image on the face of the card is burned into their skin. The face of the card becomes a living image of their tortured soul... Your killer may or may not like to look at these during leisure time. Alternatively, you may need to "mark" a victim by touching them with the card, leaving a painless mark on them somewhere out of sight. Once the marking is done, the killer leaves the area and a malevolent force or creature takes care of the stalking and killing. The [URL=http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/PT/PT.html]verses for the Pythagorean Tarot[/URL] may offer some ideas, also. [/QUOTE]
