Astrolchemy is a revamp of Astrology made for my webnovel, True Story. Just like Astrology, there are 12 different signs that affect your personality and identity. However, unlike Astrology, these signs aren’t determined by birth.

Instead Astrolchemy is a character analysis tool. Rather than just looking at birthdate, determining your own or a fictional character’s sign is a matter of educated opinion.

• ❛ take the quiz. find your sign!

☆The Suite *☆

Within the world of True Story, all of Astrolchemy fits within a standard deck of 52 cards. Each sign get's it's own number, starting from Ace with the Hermit and ending at the Queen with the Reaper. King's are totally left out of the equation cuz they're overrated.

The suit of the card affects what it represents!

Black cards tend to be more selfish and self orientated. ♠Spade suits are rebellious and rude, while ♣Club suits are humble and strong,

Red cards are more selfless and focus on others. ♦Diamond suits are elegant and intelligent, while ♥Heart suits are empathetic and idealist.

★- The 12 Signs -★

• hermit
• knight
• maid

• caster
• fae
• harp

• sage
• rouge
• agent

• duelist
• heir
• reaper

☆Sub+signs *☆

The 12 signs each have 2 distinctive states, a selfless red state and a selfish black state. Selfish signs aren't all bad, and selfless signs aren't all good. Having a black sub+sign means that your sign affects yourself primarily, while having a red sign means your sign affects others primarily.

your sub+sign adds more detail to your main one. Here's a list of every sub+sign.

NOTE: I might've stolen a few of these from homestuck.
can't help being a heart player

: write the full sign out like this :
hermit of zen - knight of breath - agent of doom

☆Powers *☆

You can make your own magical abilities with the signs! This is called your skill card, and it's separate from your main one.

Each sign's powers are different depending on weather they're a main sign, a red sign, or a black sign. You can make an ability by taking a main sign and attaching it to any sub+sign you want.

For example: The Caster sign allows you to control whatever your sub+sign is. You can apply this to the Clock sub+sign, which represents time, to create a skill card that allows you to control time.

1. The Hermit

objectivity - reserved - creative

Hermits are extremely passive characters. They go out of their way to remain totally neutral, ignoring all ideas of good and evil.

These characters may not have any strong bias, but that keeps them removed enough from others to understand the bigger pictures to life.

2. The Knight

loyalty - reliance - bottom-energy

Knights dedicate themselves to a cause, letting it guide their lives and what they do. They get satisfaction and purpose for maintaining order and structure within their lives, which is maintained by their particular cause.

Knights love being congratulated for their effort, it makes them feel more valued. Obsession with value, however, is a Knights greatest weakness

3. The Maid

compassion - sensitivity - protection

Maids are the bleeding hearts of the 12 signs. Their identity centers around protection. As such, a Heart will have a hand-picked set of things or people that they take care of.

A Maid's natural will to protect can be intrusive or even manipulative if they become unhealthy. Whatever they see as best for those they care for, they will do. It's what keeps them alive, everything else is irrelevant.
