Marie again! I decided to make another character because I need a serious one to counter my not so serious one. So of course, I came up with an absurdly long character history and personality.
If you have no time to read the TLDR version, here's the basic rundown:
Christopher Kahl is 35 years old and from the outside and a teacher; dedicated and gifted and taught the third grade (8 to 9 year olds) in Town for the last 11 years. He and his wife Lacy came to the Deck after Christopher was encouraged to resign from his post at a prestigious private school due to discrimination.
He adapted well to the Deck and excelled in his profession, so much so, people consider it a shame he's not moving up in the world. However, Lacy did not like the political system of the deck and hated how she was treated because she had no intention of playing the 'game'. She eventually divorced Christopher three years ago to return home. While he is still a fantastic teacher and respected member of the community, Christopher is struggling with depression though most will not know about the depression. Only a few good friends might even guess at it. The depression is connected to stagnation within himself, his job, and his rank and guilt he has choosing his newer life over his old.
So, here's the deal. If your card is 20 or younger and went to public school in Town, you probably know about Mr. Kahl. You might even have been his student or you might have a sibling who had him for a teacher. Outside of being a good teacher, he's a fairly good boxer and jogs often. Quite a few of the high ranking families has asked him to be a private tutor and he's rejected all offers.
So, basically, what I'd really like are a few friends and a few former students. Anyone up for CR?

It befuddled him once, long ago. And then he gave up and learned how to love the
bomb Deck.
He would say this feels strange and probably not a thing former students should do for their teachers but... he probably has given up on protesting she doesn't need to do this. Rank and the fact that spark might be fading just a little.

She mothers everyone. She even mothers the King of Spades in the sneaky, sneaky way that she has. So he shouldn't feel too bad about that.no subject
He might just glower just a little bit. And he'll protest and take care of his abilities even more if he ever deals with his depression.
