Canon: Ever wondered what happens when you mix a mafia family and magical tarot cards? Wonder no more, because “La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia” is about to give you the answer you’ve been looking for. Acting as vigilantes, protecting the citizens and controlling Regalo Island’s most shady business, the Arcana Famiglia is well known for having its members contracted to one of the “Tarocco”, contract which grant them special powers and abilities. All is good and well then, until the head of the family announces his intention to retire and give his daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever wins the “Arcana Duello”, a tournament in which each holder of a contract will face each other until only one winner is left. His daughter, Felicità, objects-- but she’s too weak to defeat her father on the spot, and so resolves to win the Arcana Duello herself. Fortunately for her, she’s not alone, and she can count on the help of a few friends along the way.

One of those friends is Nova, holder of the Death Arcana and head of Regalo Island’s security division. Although he strongly believes in Felicità’s abilities, amongst her allies he’s the harshest. In fact, Nova is often hard on her and others (as well as himself), having high expectations and never really shying away from scolding or expressing a negative opinion, even when he intends it to be a form of encouragement. In his daily life and his job, he’s loyal, serious, and dedicated, to the point where he’s sometimes teased by his subordinates. While he does his best to appear capable and mature, Nova is actually fairly short-tempered and loses his patience easily -- often ending up bickering with or yelling at people for ridiculous reasons. Despite his stubborn and harsh behavior, Nova is a rather kind and gentle individual and cares deeply for Felicità, but tries to keep that side of himself hidden as he considers it a weakness.

Sample Post:

Tell us about yourself in a few words.
There’s no need for me to tell you anything about myself. If it’s finding more about me you’re after, talking with me on a daily basis and getting to know me properly is the only way to do it. Beside, if you truly wished to know something about me you wouldn’t ask for it to be in a few words.

I understand this is just a routine question, but I dislike wasting time with pointless tasks. Please think of a better introduction next time.

Why are you joining our happy community?
Simply put, this place is suspicious. I don’t really care about your community, but there’s been reports of people heading here and ending up missing shortly after. I don't wish to hide my intentions, so I’ll say it straight: I’m here to investigate. And If something doesn’t add up, then I’ll make sure you’ll pay for it.

Can you perform a flawless headshot? If not, and if your life depended on it, how many hours a week would you be willing to spend on the shooting range?
Guns aren’t my weapon of choice, so of course doing something like that would be impossible for me. To tell the truth, I’d rather not shed blood unnecessarily -- ah, just because it's way too messy most of the time. Of course I have no troubles doing it if there’s no other way, but …

Regardless, if my life depended on it I’d be willing to spend as much as necessary on the shooting range. Whether it’s 24 hours or 48 hours without a single break, I wouldn’t care. Will and dedication is all that’s necessary to achieve a goal. If it’s not what anyone would do, it should be.

Can you swim? Y/N
Ah? I’d be a shame to the family if I couldn’t do something as simple as that.
- Could you still do it under extreme distress? Y/N
I don’t get this line of questioning. Does it really matter? I already said I can swim, stop wasting my time.
-- While dragging someone else to shore? Y/N
That kind of thing requires more than just knowing how to swim. Don’t
just mix two different set of skills in the same question...!
--- While something, let’s say a tentacle, tries to drag you under? Y/N
A tentacle?! That’s ridiculous! I’ve had enough of this question!
---- How would you handle that situation?
SHUT UP AND DISAPPEAR!

Do you have any deep personal traumas you might inexplicably be compelled to share in this questionnaire? Please describe.
My personal experiences are none of your business...! If you wish to pry in things you have no right to know, then we might as well end this survey here. There’s no way I’d feel compelled to share something personal with a perfect stranger, let alone in this kind of situation. I already said to stop wasting my time with unnecessary tasks.

Do you find these questions increasingly unnerving? Why/Why not?
Hmpf. This question is even more pointless than all the other ones. Most of these questions seem random or without a true purpose. Given that, it’s only natural that I find them unnerving. If you’re worried about it, improve this survey instead of asking something stupid yet again.
