Zodiac Transformation Meme
Zodiac Transformation Meme
A lot of people these days believe it's all hokey. The zodiac, whether Eastern or Western, has become a bit of an oddity for a lot of people. A joke. Something people refer to only for fun. But what if there were something more to it?
What if some force transformed you into some representation of these archetypal forces?
1. Post a comment with your character's name and canon in the subject line, along with any preferences.
2. Use RNG for your replies to people; pick out Zodiac signs and scenarios. Go for full transformations, partial, or whatever floats your fancy. Get creative with them.
Signs
- Aries - The Ram; Cardinal Fire
- Taurus - The Bull; Fixed Earth
- Gemini - The Twins; Mutable Air (A dual nature, maybe? Split into good and evil selves?)
- Cancer - The Crab; Cardinal Water
- Leo - The Lion; Fixed Fire
- Virgo - The Virgin; Mutable Earth (Have fun figuring this one out.)
- Libra - The Scales; Cardinal Air (Some kind of metallic form?)
- Scorpio - The Scorpion or Eagle; Fixed Water
- Ophiuchus - The Serpent-Bearer; No Element or Quality
- Sagittarius - The Archer or Centaur; Mutable Fire
- Capricorn - The Sea-Goat; Cardinal Earth
- Aquarius - The Water-Bearer; Fixed Air (Some kind of fluid form?)
- Pisces - The Fish; Mutable Water
- The Rat - Yang
- The Ox - Yin
- The Tiger - Yang
- The Rabbit or Cat - Yin
- The Dragon - Yang
- The Snake - Yin
- The Horse - Yang
- The Goat - Yin
- The Monkey - Yang
- The Rooster - Yin
- The Dog - Yang
- The Pig - Yin
- Wildcard! Mix and match! Do as you please!
*As a note, each of the signs of the Eastern Zodiac can come in five varieties: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water.
Scenarios
- Chosen - Some spirit, god, or demon has chosen you to serve as a representative of one or more of these signs. What do your duties entail? Are you responsible for guiding the fates of those born under your sign? Do you guard them? What?
- Cursed - Someone's cursed you. Or maybe it was that magic ring you put on and can't get off now. You're forced to live your life out as this thing. Maybe it's forever, or maybe there is some way to break the spell.
- Possessed - Some force, malevolent or benign, has taken control of your body because it either wants or needs it. In the process, you've taken on traits from it.
- Birth - For whatever reason, you were born this way. Or maybe you grew this way in your childhood. Either way, you knew it was coming and you have to deal with it.
- Science - Willingly or not, magic didn't make you this way; science did. It could have been an accident, a government project, or perhaps a mad scientist abducted you. Do you regret it or no?
- Other - Maybe this is a dreaam world or a shared hallucination. Some kind of faery realm where you must take on a different form? Whatever your imagination wants to fill in, go with it!
