Illusionist Archetype Yugioh

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

A World Of Myths And Legends

A foreign world in which the evolutionary pathways of beasts and humans alike have differed in only slightly. A single decisive factor being the cause of this change, allowing for all living creatures to pursue the path to absolute power. Life Power. The dormant energy which is found within every beings Life Passages can be stimulated and further awakened by the select few who have the talent. The talent to become Knights! Knights were those who have surpassed the physical limits of the human body and attained transcendence. The Life Power inside them allowed them to cleave mountaintops and separate the seas. It had been over a hundred thousand years since the era of Knights began and humanity was pushed back and a clear line was formed between them and the Wilderness. A young man from a large city state awakens his potential and starts to walk the path of Knighthood. A terrifying secret hidden within the World was about to be unraveled and the age of Humanity was on the horizon. ------------------------------------- *Expect a weak to strong novel were the protagonist is not overpowered like the other novels on this site. He does have his own advantages which obviously make him different but he not able to skip realms and fight those on a higher cultivation than him. The lines in the sand are clearly drawn in this novel. In addition, don't think that every character belongs to a traditional character archetype like "friend", "enemy" or "love interest". I wrote this with character development in mind, as their views and values shift and change as the novel progresses (expect this a lot from the protagonist). Lastly, this novel is not all about fighting and becoming stronger. Progression of strength is definitely present but not the end goal. Like I said before, "character development" is more important. I chose a relatively young age for the protagonist so his beliefs aren't yet fully formed. This is to introduce new ideas and other stuff to progress the story more. Anyway, this isn't for everyone. Please enjoy and comment on whether you like it or if it could use some work!
