Jack’s Ability:
Once per week, she is capable of spitting a thin stream of sticky web, which upon leaving her mouth, immediately balloons out with the intent to capture the nearest person’s face. This webbing will then wrap around the person’s head, wherein over the course of thirty seconds, it hardens into a tight mass that can then be broken and peeled off. Until it hardens, however, the opponent cannot remove the mask from their face.

Reptiles:
It is extremely difficult to locate a reptile. They are considered to be cunning and magical forms, and parents are usually excited to receive one. They can live in any Realm, though they prefer the Marshes and forests, and usually appear as either small lizards or snakes.

Spades: The Paw

Spades are the second most common Suit, though unlike Clubs they can only occur in a breeding if one of the parents is a Spade. Spades are quick on their feet and reliable as far as their representation in Court proceedings and their tendency to follow the rules laid out for them. Spades are still not seen as being what one would desire in society; though they are above the Clubs, they are still of the same color and are often mocked by others of higher ranking. Higher up Spades, mostly face cards, are treated with the same respect that anyone would give to a ruler, and aren't frowned upon in the other Courts because of their noble rank.

Their representation, the Paw, refers to both their fleetness of foot and their general personality. They tend to be "soft" in their punishments and treatments of the lower class. They are therefore represented with that symbol, as opposed to one more closely representing weaponry.

Jack:
Most Jacks are content to be Jacks; they get a good amount of power with little to no responsibility along with it. They are generally required in Court to deliver important messages and to carry out easy tasks that the higher-ups don't want to bother with. The work is easy, the living is good, and the responsibilities can be foisted on the Tens below them. Some Jacks, however, especially traditionalists, refuse to remain in the rank because of the title. The title, "Jack", is also shared by one of the Other Courts, the Jack's Court, of rabbits. Some Jacks find that sharing this title with rabbits is demeaning and will move up to King as soon as possible to avoid association with the stigma.

Golfam Marsh:
Residents are usually pale beige with dark green and dark brown blotchy markings. They almost always have webbed feet.

Golfam Marsh is unlike it's counterpart, the Josiggy Marsh, in the way that most tend to get lost or lose their lives inside. It is a dangerous place and the dwellers don't usually go out of their way to make it safer for anyone besides themselves. Uniformly dark and damp, any dry land is a treasured commodity in the Marsh. Trees grow closely together and block the sun in many places. The Golfam Marsh has driven a few questers mad and has been rumored to contain dark, terrible secrets. Some fear this land even more than the Hisstor Wastes.

Miniature Coffin:
Once the coffin was cracked open, the lid slid to the ground and began to disintegrate. The miniature unicorns on the top writhed for a moment before pulling themselves free from the mess and moving swiftly over to the SD who caused them to awaken. Finding that the SD who opened the coffin was the same suit as the one emblazoned upon their lid, the curse was spared and the power awarded. From the coffin, a bright light burst and the entire thing began to crumble into nothingness. A small shriek was heard and something inside rattled and shook as it died once more.

Silver Unicorns: Once a week, this SD is capable of summoning 4 silver Unicorns. These beasts are massive, 7 feet at the shoulder, with rolling red eyes, wickedly curved horns, and fangs behind those delicately beautiful lips. Two are capable of nothing but defensive maneuvers, circling their caster in an attempt to keep others away from them, though they can be injured or even unsummoned with unsummoning spells or magical weapons if hacked at hard enough.

The other two are able to, once every ten minutes, breathe clouds of heated steam that scorch the skin and makes breathing difficult. Cards ranked 10 and lower have little chance against them, though Jacks and higher may be able to fight their way through. the beasts can be injured, but will fight without care to pain as they are not really alive. Losing limbs does impede them however, and if they lose all limbs, are cut in half, or have their heads damaged or taken off, they will automatically unsummon themselves. Other than this, they can charge, bite and gore opponents, though they are somewhat slow in their movements due to their weight and silver sodden bones.

The Unicorns will last for up to 3 hours before needing to either rest or be unsummoned. The summoner can ride one if she chooses for up to an hour before it must rest.
