Aseem is born to a pair of fortune tellers, his mother from the far shores of India, and his father American home-grown. An eccentric, yet loving pair, they never stayed in one place for too long. Ask him about his childhood and he'll simply say it was spent in the backseat of busted up cars, long days on the side of sandy highways under a high red sun. It was always the feeling of being restless with them, always pulling you somewhere new. Your mother placed faith in her cards more than anything else, as would you. Faith that held her in terror when you predicted her own mother's death.

Despite your mother being famous, life was never luxurious. Divination ran in the family blood she said, it's a gift for you to use for others. It's a gift you shouldn't use for yourself. They were wary of you, only child. Your mother had never shaken what another fortune teller had spoken about your birth, who you would be, what your path would be. It stuck with her, a stain in otherwise perfect cloth, and it always showed. When you began to become more well known than her, people coming to you by name to hear their future, is when it became entirely clear.


[break][break]



You lived this life until your late teens, when pocketed money let you take your leave. You were tired of not having what you wanted, what you thought you deserved. Tired of lining up the future for others with nothing in return except blessings of the goddess. It didn't take you long to find out how well organized crime paid, and how comfortably life could be on it.

So now you sit in Kingsport, the largest ring of criminals under your guidance. How hard is it for things to go wrong when you can see them coming? Happiness is different for everyone you supposed.

Through ritualistic practices, Aseem is able to see events that are going to occur in the future with pinpoint accuracy. His predictions have, to this day, never been wrong. Aseem's main methods of divination are through palm reading, tarot cards, and tea leaves. He is only able to see into the future, he cannot look into the past. For small or generally unimportant things, his divination will not require staff approval and will discussed with involved members beforehand. For divination in regards to major events/ plot events / occurrences, his power will require staff + member approval.



Aseem is able to create, shape, combine, and wholly control any type of cards. His main creation is tarot cards, which is what he mainly uses to divine the future. he is also able to create constructs out of cards, such as walls, weapons, and occasionally golems. This also includes efficacy manipulation of cards, allowing him to manipulate their hardness as well as sharpness.





Aseem can become the embodiment of archetypal tarot cards, or bestow the embodiment onto others. Doing so grants him the powers associated with that card, and he can embody them for as long as he sees fit. This power is extremely versatile, however Aseem is only able to embody one card at a time, and it takes time to shift from one embodiment to another.





Probably the weakest of his powers, Aseem has the ability to manipulate the probability of something occurring. However, this doesn't work all of the time and takes a large amount of energy and patience.
