Hi, Dee! At the risk of sounding like everyone else so far, welcome to the game! Glad to have you with us!

I'm Emma and I have four kids in play:

Juliette (jokeswithknives) who is one of the Jokers, or those oddballs who sort of run around doing their own thing and don't have any allegiance to any of the Suits. Her history's a little...rough, thus she's a little "off" and has an affinity for apples, sharp pointy things (ie: knives) and is absolutely head over heels in love with her horse, Dutch. She drifts from Castle to Castle, stealing apples and whatever leftovers she can filch from the kitchens, but all in good fun, really.

Theo (holdsmyheart) is the recently appointed King of Hearts. He was a Ten of Hearts previously, born on the Deck, but educated Outside in medicine, only to return after losing his family and became the Suit's medical practitioner. He's an EMT as well as King now, and is basically everyone's big brother ever. Although the Kingship is bringing out the "daddy" aspect of his personality, I'm noticing.

Claudia (makeminerubies) is a Nine of Diamonds and--a bitch, really. She's the only daughter (and family heiress) of Martine Chareut, matron of a very old, very prestigious Diamond family. Also educated off Deck, she was nevertheless born and raised to be "queen", more or less, so she doesn't have anything even resembling a warm and fuzzy personality. A workaholic, she's the Assistant Director of HR in Diamond Castle, and half-sister to Pierre Chareut (hommesadique), who's a Ten of Clubs.

The only Spade I have in play is Ethan, with this account name. He's a current Seven of Spades and the Suit's weaponsmaster and combat instructor. He's also the former Spade King's (David) adopted son, as well as foster brother to Amy Sinclair (bitchwithabite). If Meera really wants Julien's job, she's going to have to fight Ethan for it, because he's had his eye on that office ever since forever. David started grooming him for it way back when, but On-Deck events led to the estrangement of their relationship (and Ethan's mental breakdown, more or less), resulting in him leaving the Deck for about a year, only to return and take over the armory. He still has the reputation of the "Black Sheep of the Spade Suit", which is rough, considering all the Spades are insane anyway. Ethan, Jordan, Amy, Declan Chives and a few others were all raised together, the last generation of Shea and Medea's (the old bad Spade monarchs) reign. Ethan and Jordan are good (sometimes best) friends and both were trained under Jordan's mother Lauraline to be weapons of the Suit, basically. (Ethan took it a step further and made a very good living Outside killing people before he came back home.) So it's highly probably that Meera's heard tales of that bunch's exploits from their wild younger days, ect.

/stops rambling now

Anyway, don't hesitate to ask if you have questions, that's what we're here for! Looking forward to playing with ya!
