that FURTHER begs the question, if her evol is patchy and unreliable in a combat situation or where she needs to react quickly, why the hell she got accepted into the Hunter Academy in the first place. did they just want her to fall down on a battlefield and get eaten, thereby ridding them of an embarrassing spawned-in-a-lab biomedical failure?
i am trusting the process, i swear i am, but its stuff like this that makes me squint.
also several grains of salt - i'm treating this like its a novel, not a plinko machine for money extraction :P
and just because I'm on a roll and feel like not-working for a hot minute:
Technically speaking, they're ALL lovers (lowercase " l ") but I personally wouldn't fit any of them into the Lover archetype or tarot card (I'm familar with Rider-Waite only though). Since the Lovers in a tarot card indicates choices and temptation to one side or another, usually to do with relationships, none of the boys really embody that in an overarching sense.
I kind of would immediately want to peg Xavier into The Fool because the visuals are perfect, but I don't think that's really correct? Maybe? The Fool makes his choice(s) without thinking or even realizing the reality around him, a blind decision and I don't think that's Xavier at any point. His choices may not have been what he started out with, but other than the innocent part, I'm not sure the rest fits. Judgement, maybe? A herald of change.
I could see Zayne as The Magician, the man in control of his surroundings in the gross sense, but maybe not where I am right in the story of course. I assume he gets there! I mean, reversed reading of a man not in control or a loss of control in translating spirit into reality... I'm stretching here.
Perfect, yes. Sylus as Destroyer, which I guess would translate to the Tower, a violent change. Although now that I actually sit down and think about it - King of Pentacles? A man of wealth and power, able to provide answers to the material world and on the reverse a man that is not to be crossed.

When do we get our Two of Cups again?

Quote: Oh how I love this. Countdown for the required tarot cards alignment.
Xavier - I love the Knight Captain. He also starts as The Innocent, then becomes The Sage
Rafayel - definitely The Trickster/Fool as both outer layer and a lost childhood that is being reclaimed now, but also The Lover.
Zayne - I like The King/Ruler, and the Magician would also match his myths I believe
Sylus - the Destroyer, he's flirting with The Creator but he's not there yet
Caleb - the Warrior and the Caregiver (especially in their negative sides)
