Create TrumpIndex | Above Us The Waves? | Creating a Character | Trump Power | Create Trump This involves creating a card representing some particular person, place, thing or object. When the user concentrates on the card there will be a psychic bond between the user and the subject of the card. Creating a Trump takes from 4 hours to two days of concentrated work depending upon the character's Psyche, Endurance, and relative level of experience with making Trumps. As time passes, the character will find that creating such paintings takes less and less time. Suhuy, for example, could probably render a fully functional Trump in 2020 minutes of work. Suhuy, however, is very, very old. The medium used also determines some of the time so painting in oils, while better for highest quality Trumps, takes much longer to dry and become functional whereas Acrylics are relatively quick drying albeit not as conducive for that 'ultra- realistic' look which is the hallmark of quality Trumps. Working from memory, without a live model, will DOUBLE or TRIPLE the amount of time to create a card. Trumps made from descriptions, without the Trump Artist ever having observed the subject, have a HIGH probability of linking to a Shadow, instead of the actual subject. When the Trump Artist first sits down to create a Trump, he/she must clear his/her mind, then think upon the subject of the Trump they wish to create, and finally bring up the Power of Trump. Once in the empowered state, they then begin drawing the lines upon the medium they are using, rendering a life-like representation of the subject, and embedding the Power of Trump into the image. Trumps cannot be drawn if there are things to distract the Artist, they must have total concentration during the entire process, and any interruptions during the Trump creation stage will require them to start over. This ability also conveys on the possessor the ability to recognise trump artistry styles that he or she has encountered before. Return to Trump Power |
