Lachlan, Ten of Diamonds [DECEASED]

[Lauryn de Vampyre]

ID: SD268
Name: Lachlan
Suit: Diamonds
Rank: Ten (Born Eight)
Gender: Male
Animal: Feline (Tiger)
Region: Josiggy Marsh

Notes: Bright for a Josiggy, he is an upholder of the feud with the Lowlands, having been attacked as a child by an insane Lowland Boar whose rot had invaded its brain. He has an extensive claw mutation, very long and as sharp as fire hardened knives.

Basic Magical Ability: He can act charismatic and persuasive at times, whether or not he actually has the natural charm and grace to pull it off.

Moderate Magical Ability: When activated, he can decipher up to two languages of the player's choosing. These languages are in addition to the common tongue and the Diamond house language.

Strong Magical Ability: When activated, he can cast a lie-detector spell on a card of any suit and of a rank lesser or equal to his own, once per day. Cards of equal rank would be aware of the spell, but cards of lesser rank would not.

Powerful Magical Ability: When activated, he can fly effortlessly for up to thirty minutes at speeds of up to 20mph. Winged Diamonds can use this ability for effortless, perfectly controlled flight. If it's raining, however, the effect of this spell is strengthened to up to an hour's worth of flight.

Jack's Ability: Once a week, he is now able to cause his claws to change into iron hooks. The change is very brief, only lasting for three minutes and his hands will be heavy and inflexible, but during this time he will have an impressive swing and with how long his claws are naturally...let's just say his enemies would do best to stay out of range.

Deceased Note: Lachlan was killed via a Burdened Ticket in the Ticket "Raffle" Contest. After waking up with no memory of what had happened the night before, Lachlan soon discovers something has been growing inside of him as it tries to break free. His child tore its way through his belly and Lachlan died minutes after his adult baby was born.

Diamonds: The Fang

As a rule, Diamonds are uncommon but not too difficult to come by. They are on the upper end of society due to their color, with practically no stigmas against them. A Diamond has respect in society naturally; even if its number is of the lower cast, the fact that it is a Diamond will lift it above the other "lower" cards. Being born as a Diamond is a celebrated event and the child will probably have a happy life regardless of realm or parentage.

The Diamond symbol, the Fang, refers to their cunning and sharp, biting turns of phrase. Their uncanny intelligence and tendency toward snideness and power gives the Suit a reputation for being fangy. The fang is also normally represented a as serpent’s fang; due to their knack with charisma and bribery, they usually revel in their snake-like stereotype.

Basic Magical Ability: All Diamonds can act charismatic and persuasive at times, whether or not they actually have the natural charm and grace to pull it off.

===========================================

Ten: Tens are the bottom of the "upper class", not a bad thing when society idolizes the rich and powerful; once you hit Ten, however, the thought is always that life could be better. The face cards look down upon Tens for not being high enough to enter the true nobility and the lower numbers snub them for having more magical ability and Court status than they do. Though they are still mostly accepted by the lower numbers, the face cards tend to treat Tens as personal servants, which can feel demeaning. Tens desire nothing more than to move up into the actual world of the upper crust.

===========================================

Josiggy Marsh: Residents are usually olive green with a yellow and cream brindle patterning.

Josiggy Marsh is a surprisingly rich land. Its means of trade are quite lovely and job opportunities seem never to end. A beautiful place, it dips down in the valley of the Sorgaire Range, and the residents generally live in harmony with one another. The Josiggy Marsh is full of waterlogged meadows and fertile fields. It is a popular vacation spot and the residents are only too glad to attract these "tourists". It rains heavily once every three months for about five days, so many residents own small boats or have exceedingly durable houses.

===========================================

Felines: 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.
