Oct 2 - Tarot Characters: The Wheel of Fortune

🃏 The Wheel of Fortune is the agent of chaos, turning unendingly from success to failure and every point in between. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be argued with, it doesn't have opinions. It simply turns, and everyone turns with it. Here are three characters who capture different sides of this card:

---

The Firefly Crew — “The Train Job”

They take what looks like a straightforward job: rob a train, hand over the goods, collect the money. But when they discover the cargo is desperately needed medicine, they can't bring themselves to deliver it to Niska. Returning it turns a simple job into a dangerous confrontation, and suddenly they're dealing with consequences they never expected.

Wheel of Fortune Vibes:

•  Circumstances change unexpectedly
• A simple job becomes something much bigger
• Sometimes you have to adapt when the wheel turns beneath you

New Directions (Thriller/Heads will Roll)

The football team is losing! There's only one slim chance, and just a few seconds to deliver it. But, fortunately, they're dressed as zombies! Which they promptly weaponise, freaking out the other team until they forget they're even playing. It's a win for Our Heroes, scraped from defeat!

Wheel of Fortune Vibes

Unexpected circumstances can completely change your fortunes

What looks like a disadvantage can suddenly become an advantage

Sometimes you just have to recognise an opportunity when the wheel turns

---

Fat Sam (Bugsy Malone)

Fat Sam's gang has deserted him, leaving him with no men and apparently no hope. Then Bugsy persuades a group of homeless men to join the fight, and suddenly Fat Sam has an army where moments before he had none.

Wheel of Fortune Vibes:

• Fortune can change when you least expect it
• Help can come from the most unlikely places
• Sometimes the wheel turns when you've run out of options
