New Cards for October! (updated 10/16)

[houseofcardsmod.livejournal.com]

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 and this post will remain stickied to the top of the comm until apps close on the 25th to make it easy to see when new people are added. :)

Hola, fellow HoC addicts!

You are all pretty aware of JP and M&M, because I've been playing them (in SWS) along side Yeo In Su for the better past of a month before I was able to app them.

While they're only technically in the game as of today, you've made them feel like a part of the community since I first apped, voice tested and plagued you with them in the last several weeks.

And due to your kindness and addiction-enabling, they've developed CR as well as back stories that intertwine them with all of you. So, thanks so much for that.

o/ Viva el Deck!

I don't think I've yet said hi to you; I was pretty quiet last month.

So... introductions:

Juan Pedro may know Margo Sands-Alder in Clubs. She is a 29 year old photojournalist, working for the Daily Trump. She's deaf in one ear but it is not a major handicap. It affects her balance more than her ability to understand you (she supplements her hearing with lip reading).

I have no Spades or Hearts but that shouldn't be a problem. Aoife is an introverted Diamond girl who lives with her florist aunt. She is the only one of my cards who is not Deck-born. She's Irish and arrived on-Deck a couple of years ago. She studies gemology via correspondence. Being around Mitchell's age, she might befriend him. She is something of a wallflower.

Then, Dybbuk my very distinctive Joker, is liable to spontaneously approach any of your cards and talk nonsense or cleverly disguised sense. Don't ask about new circus events though.

Hey folks! Ty here, and Caleb is my first Card--be gentle~~

I've threaded with a few of you on SWS, and really appreciate how awesome those I've spoken to have been--I was so very nervous about apping to a game with such a daunting amount of detailed character history! Glad I did, though, it looks like it's gonna be a ton of fun.

Anyway, Caleb grew up on-Deck til he was 15 (1976-1992), then lived in NYC from 15-27 (1992-2003). After that, he did a lot of traveling to third-world countries and warzones, occasionally popping back to the Deck. I'd love to develop some sort of CR--maybe childhood friendships, or even someone he met Outside while going to school? I'm really up for anything!

Definitely looking forward to being a part of the craziness! <3

BELATED WORD TO THE WISE

JP's last name is Ramos Cordoval. When he has to put ONE, he will put RAMOS.

Ramos is his fathers last name.
Cordoval is his mothers.

Since there are far less spanish last names than english ones, and for oral history traditions, they always use TWO in conjuction to differentiate. (Or everyone will be Jose Perez and no one will know who they are talking to.)

So when you are calling him Mr. Something or using his last name for anything, please use RAMOS (or BOTH) or he will correct your character and get a little annoyed about it.

AHHH IT'S A RETURNING CHAAAARACTEEEEER~!

Ahem.

So, this is Muzy with Ben Mackinnon, who I first brought to the game last fall and dropped in January of this year. But I've brought him back now with a few tweaks and retcons. So.

Ben is a Scottish ex-cop and ex-smuggler who came to the Deck too years ago when things got a tad bit too warm when it came to ferrying slightly illegal goods across the North Sea. Very few people in the Deck know that, however, and should be limited to Victor Fox (his best friend who he met when he was a cop), Cadogan (who he does weapons requisitions for), and David and Elisha (who know a lot of things/everything). He dated Sophie for several months last year, and it ended...mostly amicably.

So, hit me? :D?

Yay! It's good to be here. :D

Disclaimer: I'm horrible (horrible) at intros, but I'll do the best I can after a full day of work and almost no sleep. :S

I'm Hena (pronounced "henna"; the second 'n', for whatever reason, is a no-call/no-show) and I was guided toward this lovely place by Ky (who, for some insane reason, seems hellbent on enabling me to the fullest). My character is Genevieve Nicole Vasco (evensoles, i.e. this chick), who goes by Eve, Gen, Genevieve, Hey You or any variant of the sort.

Without regurgitating her entire history (which can be found via her profile or by simply navigating to her journal), Genevieve's a 5 of Diamonds who was born off-Deck but stumbled into the place by accident one day on her way home from school. Her decision to stay in the deck wasn't an easy one to make, but she has her reasons for it and is now - 10 years later - generally content with where she is. She's a kind, humorous, energetic person with a shoe fetish that would probably put her out on the streets if she didn't have her own shoe store (open to anyone, come in any time).

Because of the store, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for her to meet up with/come to know any given characters in the Deck, I would think? Please correct me if I'm wrong. But as kind and humorous as she is, she's a bit of a loner workaholic who really has to push herself to mingle with people outside of work. Even though she likes the objective idea of jet-setting, she can be a bit control-freakish with her shop, and thus very hard-pressed to take days off. She does have an assistant who helps her run the shop (a NPC, which could be a spot for someone eventually maybe?), but as far as the overall management and business administration pieces, that's all her.

Those are the bare basics, I suppose. The particulars are in her journal/on her profile, and I'm currently debating whether or not to do that Character Survey of Doom thingie. Maybe. If I don't get overwhelmed by the sheer mass of it. @_@

Also, thank all of you have replied to the voice test. There are still a couple of you I need to get back to, and I haven't forgotten! I'm getting there, I'm just scatterbrained roughly 45% of the time (ask Ky). :(

I am 100% brand new to HoC, so please feel free to set me straight, iron me out, kick my butt, and all that good stuff. Open to it all!

Thank you for having us. ♥

EJ, again

This time I have Mathis Richter, a three of Diamonds. He lives in town and is open to making new friends of course.

Generally speaking, Mathis is sort of a would be loner- but is a good friend once you convince him you aren't actually going to bail. This is due to being raised as a foster child in the NYC area. He came to the Deck around the age of 18, and took up with a local tattooist in town, Willie. Since Willie retired, he runs the day to day things with the parlor- acting as manager.

Um- other things. Always open to past CR and such. Ex's, friends, etc etc. Enemies. Blah, blah. You know the drill right? More info can be found in his journal. :)
