So. This is Johnny. He was in the game before, I dropped him for a while with the story that he left to go travel around Brazil for a while. He's back now, with a tan, a few new words learned in Portuguese, and random flashes of memory coming back at inopportune times. Mostly when he's trying to sleep.

Oh yeah, he uh. Has had amnesia. Since he came to the Deck a little over ten years ago. Stumbled into the Hearts with nothing but the clothes on his back and a beautiful violin in a battered, old case with the name "Johnny" on it.

Sandy and Johnny need to hang out. That is all. :|

[onlytolerable.livejournal.com]

So, I think coincidental coffee and tea should occur in all verses. Y/N?

Also Cooper came back to the Deck 8 years ago (I think that's it). He makes for a good drinking buddy. I'm sure Maggie finds Johnny charming.

[luceatluxtua.livejournal.com]

Brazil~?

Wrong account, but if Lexa ever finds out, she'll feel obligated to... try being bros. A little.

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

I don't think I need to be adding things here.

Ceiro + Johnny = BFFs

[is-to-art.livejournal.com]

Tegan knows him somehow, I expect. I also would not be entirely surprised if there was some sort of fling at some point because Johnny. Johnny.

Nico...I have no idea.

Erylivane Harker

[livinginvane.livejournal.com]

But call him Vane, if you remember him. He's been gone for eight years, and he was going by "Grailene" and associating with female pronouns. He's Greylan's twin. He's a nice guy, mostly, and very approachable. He's a little bit distant because, after all, he has been gone for eight years, but he'd like to reacquaint himself. Yes? Yes.

Also. He's a nurse. These are rare commodities in the Deck, apparently. B|

[is-to-art.livejournal.com]

Not going to lie Tegan's reaction was pretty much: CLUBS OH YAY!

Seriously, though, a nurse. That's awesome, particularly since there's Frankie and I expect assistance of any variety will be welcome on that end.

Nico avoids Club Castle if he can so it's unlikely that they'll meet unless they cross paths in Town so no worries on that end.

[heart-the-art.livejournal.com]

Chris is kind, open minded, and he should hang out with Vane.

Sandy is too! And want to flirt but can't because apparently she just stumbled into something. But friends can happen.

Meghana says, wtfever, hi.

Re: Erylivane Harker

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

Addy probably remembers him from before the Marines? They might be friends?

Other than that, Hadyn will likely run into him while sneaking in and out of Club Castle to his secret!boyfriend.

Victor....won't blink at him twice probably :|

Re: Erylivane Harker

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

Elisha will...*checks timeline* not have been in the Deck yet eight years ago, so he will not have known Vane. Zoe and Jordan might have if Vane had been a Heart back then.

Avery will feed him whether she knows him or not, and Frankie is Urania's OB so they will likely meet in a profesional capacity.

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

Leigh comes to the Clubs often enough that she might cross paths with him. She might mistake his gender at first because of his hair- I assume he's been passing for long enough that she'd probably correct herself because of how he moves. What's his voice like?

[piquedbutler.livejournal.com]

Eight years means... Eileen was four when he left. ...thoughts. :|

Also, he and Evan should be friends. /o\

[lightsthejewels.livejournal.com]

NOT LATE, LET'S PRETEND THAT~

Danielle -- Fellow Club buddy despite 12 years his senior? Chao-Dong loved making friends, ages be damned. He would have left when Danielle was already a Diamond and neck deep in the Diamonds' politics. He could remember her as a bubbly, artistic girl and/or a cold-hearted paperpusher.

Andrea -- Only a few years older than him. Might know him since she ran around the Club Castle when hiding from her parents? I think, judging by my math, that he left the Deck the same year she ditched it so there's also that. He'll probably remember her as a conniving, petty woman.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Renee Gabriella Simone Justine Berthier here. Born and raised in the deck, she's one of the extensive Berthier clan. A blend of brash class, she spends her days doing what she loves best - making things look lovely. An interior designer, she'll be pleased to do your room, office, or house in colors and styles that best suit you. Quick with a laugh, she's a bit of a flirt, but she's also extremely loyal to those she calls friends.

She'd know all the lovely little Diamonds, but as for cross-suit knowledge, that's up to you guys.

She dated Elisha for a couple years, so she might have been around the Club castle for a while.

[is-to-art.livejournal.com]

This is entirely the wrong account to be doing this in but he's the one I'm logged in as right now and I am lazy.

So, Renee - there is a Jack of Clubs with an office she isn't entirely sure what to do with, help would be very much appreciated, think you're up for the challenge?

Also, I have absolutely no idea how these two would know each other beyond nodding acquaintances. Though I'm certainly open to anything else.

[heart-the-art.livejournal.com]

Meghana might have hired her once to design her rooms, I'm thinking. Meghana has unique tastes of course.

Sandy probably doesn't need Renee's help all that much. I am not terribly sure if the two have met? I don't think Chris would have met her since he only came to Club Castle a while ago despite living so long on Deck.

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

Hadyn might know her through Avery, as the only reason he usually ventures into Diamond Castle is to see Avery.

Also he is secretly dating her ex. If she even cares.

Victor would know her because of Elisha. :| Clearly.

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Clearly she knows Isaac. And is helping to make his wedding fabulous. Current canon is that a lot of the Berthier clan treated him poorly when they were kids because, well, he was a very odd child and a servant boy-- but Renee's a bit older, and really it's up to you.

Not sure about Olly and Jimmy-- neither of them get out much or are particularly interested in interior design-- but Wren? Wren should know her. They should both be badass glamourzons together and look faultless All The Time. Especially if she's friends with Avery, who is prooobably Wren's best friend.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

I dunno who of mine would know her. :)

Other than Elisha, it's possible that Avery consulted her when redecorating the Jack's quarters earlier this year, and Avery was a Nine until January, so they were at similar ranks recently. Renee probably helped with the event decors in the event planning part of Avery's job then - she was in charge of the Kitchens and Household, and Events.

Jordan dated two of Sophie's sisters - Charlotte and Katerine - so it's entirely possible they met then or otherwise.

Zoe and Urania are less likely so far, though Renee is welcome to help with the wedding.

Liam || Seven of Spades.

[luceatluxtua.livejournal.com]

This is Liam. He's an apathetic, asthmatic, video gaming Librarian. He doesn't move from his office if he can help it, even though he's supposed to be practicing his fencing in order to have some sort of physical activity in his life (doctor's orders). He has a computer, a laptop, a tablet, and two extension screens, all of which he loves (Lisa, Albert, Marvin, Dora, and Bert respectively).

He does enjoy getting on people's nerves, as he doesn't really care about relationships and the such. He'll be your friend - just don't expect him to really remember birthdays or anniversaries or... anything like that. And he will love you forever if you sit down for a good round of Mario Kart with him. Or, you know, more hardcore things work too (even though it's hard to get more hardcore than Mario).

[is-to-art.livejournal.com]

Tegan loves you, former Seven friend, and will totally be over to play Mario Cart.

Nico has been forced to learn to be technically savvy by his sister-in-law Meghana. Although it would be fun to have them get together sometime and play Halo. Think that is doable?

[tailored-suit.livejournal.com]

So this is Charlie, the spade Tailor, recently returned from the world at large. He was born into the deck and I would love it if anyone had any ideas on some past CR they might have.

This is my first character in HoC so I am just a bit nervous. Mostly excited though. I've been watching from afar for I guess a year now? ish?

His Application can be found in his journal if you want a look.

[fiddlerjohnny.livejournal.com]

Welcome, darling! Don't worry, we don't bite much unless you ask.

:)

Anyway, it's debatable whether he knows Johnny here but he's very likely to be aware of Julien, the Ace of Spades. Julien might even have him make a couple of his suits.

Elani...I don't know on that end. Maybe? She tends to go meet people pretty easily and she has a penchant for collecting Spades. :)

Luis~ /coherency is relative

[gemsoverhearts.livejournal.com]

OKAY. Rekla here, with Dr. Luis Ryan -- who happens to be Ceiro's (five minutes younger) twin-brother! Yay!

He was born into the Hearts, switched to Diamonds after Ceiro left for Columbia, and left the Deck altogether when Ceiro returned. That was thirteen years ago.

He went to France, studied to become a doctor, got married, had a daughter - in short, it all could have been very lovely, if he weren't a huge dick. Cheating, embezzlement, and gambling aren't a good combination, and eventually blew up in his face. With most of his money gone, his future ex-wife having taken their daughter with her, the divorce still running and his reputation not exactly in the best state, he did all he could think of doing - returning home.

Home, where he hasn't been in said thirteen years (neither in person nor contact-wise), which he never mentioned to his wife, and which was far off enough for him to be able to start over.

So yeah, welcome the new Diamond Doctor who happens to look exactly like the King of Hearts!~

Now, CR. I WANT ALL THE CR. Old friends, new friends,, old foes, new foes, people who want to mistake him for Ceiro, patients, ALL OF YOUUUU~

Re: Luis~ /coherency is relative

[morallydefunct.livejournal.com]

LUUUUUIIIIIIIIIS

:D

I have no idea who would have CR with him. NONE

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

Augh, late to the party as always!

I'm Angie, I play Serena here. I had her in the game a few months ago, but couldn't put in the time at that point to really maintain here. So here I am again, hoping it sticks this time!

Serena's... kind of an enigma wrapped in a mystery, I'd say. She's got a hell of a wall put up, so it'll take some time and effort to get to really know her, if you're interested in that. She's pleasant enough, though, if you're on her good side. If you're on her bad? Well. It'd be best if you just didn't.

In any case, she's arrived at the Deck looking for info on her parents, who she just found out lived there before their mysterious disappearance. Serena grew up with her aunt and uncle from infancy, so she never knew her parents. She tracked them to the Deck, so some people may have known them. The Sinclaires weren't exactly very well liked by the community, though, so she's in for a nice surprise there.

In any case, I'll be posting an intro for her soon! Looking forward to tagging with all of you!

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

Welcome back :)

Just in case: I'm Yin, playing Säde here, Ace of Diamonds; Leigh allthesamemask, Two of Diamonds; and Annie oneirophiliac, Five of Spades. Annie will probably have the most contact with her. How would Serena react to finding Annie sleeping in weird places or carrying a snake around? (It's relevant questions, I swear.)

[mental-clarity.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

This here is Joseph, who is not up there with the other Diamonds, but he's a brand new Two who has literally just arrived from Outside like three days ago and decided on which suit he wants to join.

He is a tiny, obnoxious little man who likes to consider himself an authority on what other peoples' problems are, and a failed fantasy/sci-fi writer in addition to having been a school psychologist. He is in dire need of any kind of a job at all, and lovely folks who can show him how things work!

[houseofcardsmod.livejournal.com]

Sorry! He's not up there with the other Diamonds because this was posted before he got in. =P

Uhm. I can't brain doing it tonight but I'll add him first thing in the morning.
