New Cards for September!

This post is to be used as CR development and introduction post! New players can introduce themselves and new characters can work out everything out.

They are split between Suits only because that seemed the most sensible way to divide them up ♥♣♦♠

Will be adding to this post as the month goes on (newer characters will have text a different color) and posting the updated link to the top of the OOC comm so folks can see who's new. :)

Katriane Berthier | Six of Diamonds

[identity profile] pureaudacity.livejournal.com 2012-09-09 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Kat's app is on her journal for people who want all the details, but the short version is as follows:

Sophie's youngest sister, Kat Berthier has been a Six of Diamonds since she beat her eldest sister at kickboxing four years ago and knocked her down to Five. Unlike the twins, however, she hasn't advanced since then. This is a bit of a mystery to most people in the Berthier circle, since the younger Berthier girls are known to be ambitious. People who know her well may guess that a lack of confidence (brought on by her treatment by Gerhardt while they were growing up) is at the heart of the issue. Currently, she works in Event Planning in the Diamonds as a special events coordinator - weddings, parties, wakes, balls, dinners, etc. - and is generally known to be fairly sweet and nice, though she has a serious mean girl streak when she needs to get it out. Challenged mostly in the arts, notably with acting performances; does not act professionally, however.

For anyone who is new, or has never ever run into Blythe before:

Came to the Deck soon after she turned nineteen, hit Ten at twenty-two. Warm and loving, easily flusterable, loves making friends, determined to make the most of any situation.

I know I've told a couple people this, but as a general warning(?!) of sorts, her initial acceptance of the position is going to come with a lot of angst and not a lot of happiness. But she'll get over it in a week and then she will be a really awesome Ace, hopefully. :)

SO DOES ANYONE SUDDENLY WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE TINY ACE?

Clive Kelly! Jack of Spades

[identity profile] wouldbetrump.livejournal.com 2012-09-09 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Clive is that guy that everyone loves; somehow, someway. Or if they don't love him, maybe a part of them just wants to be him. He has a great attitude, generally upbeat (some might even say he is a bit Heart-ish). He got to where he was with non-violent challenges, and is a great talker. On a completely non-personal level.

He can't, however, flirt to save his life. He fumbles that ball every time because he tries too hard, and thinks a bit too much.

Um, um stuff. His profile is here (http://wouldbetrump.livejournal.com/837.html) if you want to know more. He needs...exes, friends, enemies, people that think he's full of crap. etc etc. You know the drill.

Yeo In-su, 2♠, pleased to introduce myself.

[identity profile] indeliblespade.livejournal.com 2012-09-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Herp derp!

HI!

My name is Ky, I was introduced to HoC by Kelz, and I'm so psyched to be here.
I was literally counting the days before I got approved :P

I'm totally new, and I'm bringing with me Yeo In-Su. He's a Korean who came to America for art school. His parents died while he was there, and he became a homeless meth addict as a result. He's shy, a closetted gay, artistic, 24, and desperately in need of some life in order business.

He's an atypical spade/decker, and hopefully gonna be able to take up the apprentice tattooist position. As well as spend time in Frederick's studio.

I'm uber excited to RP with all of you, and I know some of your characters due to some SWS nonsense.

Thank you for accepting me into the game, and please take care of both of us!
Hopefully more apps to come, as I mature into the game.
I'm still a little confused about the mechanics of the deck, but I'm an experienced RPer otherwise, and hope to get into plenty of threads with you guys.

-Ky

Fletcher Pelham, two of hearts

[identity profile] fletcherous.livejournal.com 2012-09-09 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi everyone! I'm Abby, and completely new to this game. I found you guys by consistently lurking through people's profiles on SWS...so thanks to those of you who post there. This game looks like a lot of fun. Also, I'm kind of a dork, and I haven't done a big game on livejournal in awhile, so if I screw something up, please let me know, and I will try my best to fix it. :| I've been surviving on PSLs for way too long, haha.

ANYWAY: Fletcher's new to the deck and as such is at the very bottom of the totem pole. He's a musician (specifically: the violin), kind of an airhead, very social, very promiscuous (as evidenced by my username, which I was a little bit too proud of), and doesn't care too much about hierarchy and all that, at least not for right now. Anyway...hi?

Jubilee~ | Joker

[identity profile] jestincase.livejournal.com 2012-09-10 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Song, and I'm bringing in Jubilee here. Jubilee's app is up at her journal for all to read. She's a retread and actually my first character here at HoC. She became difficult to play (I won't be attempting to rhyme so much as I once did) around the time work became idiotic for me, so she went away.

Jubilee adores games and wordplay, riddles and rhymes and quoting from works most people have never read. She eats Secrets to stay alive, never forgets anything--like an ephalump!--and is prone to holding up "mirrors" to people so they can understand things. She's part innocent/part earth mother, happy and friendly and tends to spend a lot of time climbing trees, laying in the grass communing with ladybugs and searching for the where Wild Things Are.

Ask, and she just might tell you a story.

Alasdair DeWitt | Six of Hearts

[identity profile] dreamsofwords.livejournal.com 2012-09-10 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Iiiiiit's Muzy again with what should be my last character for a good long while, Alasdair DeWitt.

Alasdair is an English teacher in the school in Town, though he himself lives at Heart Castle. The eldest of four, Alasdair is the dreamer in the DeWitt family, and fancies himself the next F. Scott Fitzgerald or Ernest Hemingway - but in reality, he's more of an Ed McBain, writing Deck-based mystery novels under the pseudonym Jamie MacDougall. No one knows this, and he is still known to be the Consistently Rejected Aspiring Writer.

Ah, the prodigal daughter. Isadore was once an Eight of Spades, and now she's happy to be a Two of Clubs. How that happened is complicated, and it's well known that David dismissed her from the Spades on the grounds of treason.

Of course, if she really was a danger to the Suit, he'd have had her killed. So there's more to the story than that.

In any case, Isadore's returning after a several-months leave of absence. Please note that if your Card was close to Isadore before she left (Andrea, Annie, Tegan, etc), they've been getting regular phone calls, but did not get warning that she was coming home yet.

Isadore will be working in the Clubs armory as Custodian of Arms.

Cooper Elliot | 8 of Hearts

[identity profile] heartstrine.livejournal.com 2012-09-12 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Cooper's a retread. I'd like to keep any CR he had. He's had a change of surname and aged up to 36 (I wanted him to have 10 years as a blueie). Other than that, he's the same.

It's all in his bio on his journal. Basically, his mother was a Spade who fled Medea's court and later met his father, a new Club from Australia. They had 3 kids: Riley, Cooper and Jack. Jack died when Cooper was 17 (a freak practice accident). Cooper decided to leave the Deck and returned to Brisbane and lived with his paternal grandparents. Later he joined the police force, became a Detective Sgt. and then Detective Inspector (first Narcotics and then Homicide). His father's heart attack scare had him returning to the Deck and deciding to give it another go. He's still giving it a go after 8 years.

He became a Heart to escape the oftentimes volatile relationship with Ross Elliot and so he could have some privacy. He's always maintained his early interests in cooking and sculpting. Currently, he runs the Heart kitchens and is their executive chef.

She's not up there yet, but Säde is now Queen of Diamonds. For the newcomers, she was Ace of Diamonds before that for eight years and has been a Diamond for sixteen years now. Generally a cool person, won't bite at first meeting but you don't really want to get her mad. Also has a ward, [Bad username or site: allthesamemask title=Leigh @ livejournal.com].
