So, I recently created a program which generates Pactio cards in the style of Mahou Sensei Negima. I thought it would be fun to see what people will make of it - what characters, what in-jokes in the stats... Here's an example done by Associate:
For those not familiar with the series, the card is basically "proof of contract" between a mage and a partner. The partner is depicted on the front holding (or wearing) an artefact, a magic item provided by the contract which the card transforms into on command. The mage's name is on the back.
Names spelling:
SpoilerThere's some weird spelling in the names of the magus and partner.
- "K" is replaced by "C"
- "W" is replaced by "V"
- "Y" is replaced by "J" when used as a consonant, and "I" when used as a vowel. (ie. "Yuri" becomes "Juri", but "Yvonne" and "Mary" would become "Ivonne" and "Mari")
- Japanese names: "TSU" becomes "TU", "CHI" becomes "TI", "SHI" becomes "SI"
- Certain names become more archaic, eg. "Negi Springfield" -> "Negius Springfieldes" and "Jack Rakan" -> "Jacobus Racan"
Names are given in Eastern or Western order depending on how they would normally be written (click a name to change the order)
Latin:
SpoilerCharacters have a Latin title/description below their name - for those using translators note that the adjective comes after the noun.
Virtus = "virtue"
- sapientia = prudence
- audacia = fortitude
- temperantia = temperance
- justitia = justice
- fides = faith
- spes = hope
- caritas = love
Directio = "direction"
- septentrio = north
- auster = south
- oriens = east
- occidens = west
- centrum = centre
And then there are the colours and planets, which shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
