Notes[/b]
She has a rather strong strain of paranoia that can’t be explained away. Even though she can breathe normal air without too much difficulty, she fears that losing her mask could mean losing her life as well.
Basic Magical Ability[/b]
She can ignore moderate amounts of pain for up to thirty minutes.
Moderate Magical Ability[/b]
When activated, she gains an immediate proficiency with any weapon that she picks up. This can be activated and deactivated at will.
Strong Magical Ability[/b]
When activated, she can inflict mental pain on another card of the Club suit, twice per day. The degree of pain is akin to that of having one’s throat slowly and painfully pinched closed at the base. This will cause all victims to lose the ability to speak after about four minutes of the torture. The caster can only keep this spell going for up to ten minutes at a time.
Powerful Magical Ability[/b]
When activated, she can control the mind of a lesser Heart for up to one hour, once per week. The individual being controlled would know and the degree of control would be almost perfect, with the exception of the fact that while she controls them, they will speak in a raspy, wheezing voice, as though someone were clutching at their throat.
Jack’s Ability[/b]
She is immune to any and all poisons, with the exception of saliva (any besides her own and her family’s). It acts as a deadly poison in her system and will start to kill her white blood cells. Ingesting someone else’s saliva will slowly start to kill her over a period of seven years. During this period, she will become excessively weak and lose muscle mass until finally her body is unable to support her organs, at which point she will collapse and die. This will be triggered the very first time that she ingests another’s saliva who does not belong to her immediate and/or extended family.
King’s Ability[/b]
Upon reaching adulthood, she will find that she is able to summon a poleax from the center of her Heart marking at will. She can pull it to and from its plane of existence whenever she wishes, and the weapon can never be turned against her unless by extreme magical forces.
Felines[/b]
Felines are a common breed. They are found everywhere you look and their lifestyles make it easy for them to stretch themselves to the furthest reaches of the kingdoms. Not to be confused with the Court of Cats (who are the size of a house cat), the Felines of the realm are about the size of tigers and range from sleek Siamese to bulky alley cats in shape.
Torquehelm[/b]
Residents are usually black with purple highlights and/or socks, white wing-like markings on their backs, and purple eyes.
Torquehelm is a rather dark place. Due to it's placement near the Tulgey Wood, there isn't much sunlight or moonlight. An odd aura surrounds the place, and many feel a sense of depression upon entering. The members of Torquehelm are known for their odd habit of binding. They are said to do so because they hope it will lift the curse upon their land. Each resident of the realm is bound in some way, shape, or form, the most popular being chains or blindfolds. They tend to be intelligent and quick, but difficult to deal with because of the downtrodden mood, though they are still widely accepted in Courts and are sometimes made confidants of those in power. The land of Torquehelm does not produce much in the way of items to trade, though there are rich deposits of precious metals and iron.
Raemblen Bog[/b]
Created by Satra Residents are a a grayish-reddish medium brown with random blotches of dark purple and speckled with flecks of pale yellow (imitating what little sunlight get through the canopy) to blend in with their surroundings. They are covered with a foul tasting oil and all are equipped with some sort of ventilated mask.
Located between the Tulgey Woods and Golfam Marsh, this is a land of dark auras and even darker cults and magic. The people from this Realm tend to be snappish and crude. The air in the bog is nigh on poisonous and many need masks of clan air in order to enter safely.
They also are not as class-conscious as any of the other lands. For as difficult as it is to live there (the infant mortality rate is very high), they recognize that everybody does their part and everyone is needed. However, their glass work has quickly become renown for it beauty. Made from the toxic silt, there is a rainbow sheen to the glass. Though made from poisonous material, the toxins are no longer present after the process. It's their main export.[/center]
