Jeremiah, Nine of Clubs

[Lauryn de Vampyre]

ID: SD147
Name: Jeremiah
Suit: Clubs
Rank: Nine
Gender: Male
Animal: Vermin (Mouse)
Region: Torquehelm
Notes: His bindings are thick silver rings around his upper arms, and now thanks to his Ticket Mutation they no longer cause him any pain!

Ticket Event Mutation - he Torque's limbs lengthened almost to a point where it was ridiculous, bones cracking and tendons twisting to keep up, as feathers sprouted down his back and all along his tail, all of them that odd, red-black inky color...
He seems to be having a difficult time keeping his bindings in their proper places, though they won't easily slip over his feet...

Piece of Parchment: Though this bit of paper looked awfully innocent, sitting among the drawers rifled through, it has turned out to be a trap! As soon as Miah's fingers brushed the paper it exploded into a ball of fire that surged over their entire hand. Any fur was obliterated, leaving raw, burned flesh that quickly cooled and healed into a magical "x" shaped scar, that cannot be healed properly.
A burning sensation then crawls across their forehead, brandishing a permanent mark onto their skull in the same script that was briefly glimpsed on the bit of paper. The word "Thief" is now branded across Miah's face in big, bold letters. It cannot be covered up by magic or fur alterations (even Mr. Todd would be at a loss at this mess.), but can be covered with the wide brim of a hat or long bangs.

Blackened Rose Mutation: That torn and tattered rose took Miah's 'tattered' Torquehelm wings and gave them new life!
Though he gets tired very quickly, and will have to learn from scratch, those wings will allow him small bursts of flight and the ability to glide from high places. He won't be able to take the weight of carrying someone with him, though.

========ABILITIES===========

Basic Magical Ability: He can go two days without needing to sleep.

Moderate Magical Ability: When activated, he can carry up to 20 lbs of extra weight for 24 hours straight, one day per week. He is left feeling tired and somewhat drained for the 24 hours following that period.

Lilac favor: This tiny favor allows the owner to change their scent whenever they like to anything they want it to be. If they want to smell like another person, however, they must first have smelled this person themselves to know what they want to smell like. They may use this favor once a day for up to four hours.

Jade Ring: Once a week, the owner of the ring will find that they are now able to summon this image for a full 30 seconds. During this time Cards ranked Jack or lower will have eyes and attention only for this captivating image of pure beauty. The user can only conjure and use this spell if they are wearing the ring at the time.

Blackened Rose Ability He is able to reverse all of his joints whenever he so desires. All of them have become so incredibly flexible, that even bending one backwards while running will not cause him injury or pain. Very useful for a little 'thief', eh?

============WEAPON==============

Double Stilettos: These stunningly beautiful little weapons are able to be summoned back to Miah's hand no matter where they have fallen after he's thrown them. Though their hilts are a rather plain black color, the blades themselves shine brightly enough to give off a faint glow when wielded, enough to give Spades using their dark vision quite a tiny headache if he chooses. These weapons will always hit their target, though they will never be able to hit vital points unless the thing attacking Miah means to kill. In a Queen's battle, they would be come ineffective at hitting vitals as well. They cannot be stolen, as they will simply dematerialize in the thief's hands and reappear in Miah's pockets, not a good thing to do to someone so magically armed. The weapons are small enough that they will not defend him against any magical or physical attacks, but must be used offensively. After striking a target, the knives will fly back to his hand unless caught by a spell worth 100p or more that would successfully detain them; after 5 throws a day, though, the knives will lose their magical influence, and become normal Stilettos.

ANIMAL FORM

[Lauryn de Vampyre]

Clubs: The Hoof

Clubs are by far the most common Suit and they are the only ones that can occur in breedings where neither parent possessed the Suit. For example, a Spade and a Diamond have children; it is perfectly plausible for them to have one Diamond and two Clubs. The only breeding Clubs cannot occur in is one between two red Cards. Clubs are seen as the "grunts" of Society. Even their Queen is not as highly respected as any of the Other Queens, be they a better ruler or not. They are often put to use as laborers by other Suits and aren't regarded for their intellectual skill, even though many are more than qualified to be in higher positions.

The Club representation, the Hoof, represents their durability and their station as laborers; many resent the label.

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

Five-Seven: Fives, Sixes, and Sevens are the most commonly found members of society and are seen as the "middle class". Since there are so many of them, they are seen as the "norm" and feel that there is nothing wrong with their lot in life if they remain where they are. They tend to be pleased with life and can get mediocre jobs as higher-end servants in the Courts, living their lives comfortably in the average end of society. Higher-ups may still look down on them, but they can all feel justified in gossiping about that moronic snot at dinner or with the neighbors.

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

Torquehelm: Residents are usually black with purple highlights and/or socks, white wing-like markings on their backs, and purple or black eyes.

Torquehelm is a rather dark place. Due to its placement near the Tulgey Wood, there isn't much sunlight or moonlight, only a constant overcast gray light that causes the streetlights to be on almost always. 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 that they feel lies 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 mentally, but difficult to deal with because of the downtrodden mood, though they are still widely accepted in Courts and are sometimes made confidants to 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. Torquehelms will often stick to themselves rather than find someone from another Realm whose personality may be too different from their own to deal with, though those who are dissatisfied with their lot in life will often do anything possible to find a mate from a different Realm. Residents of Torquehelm do not have to be bound all of their lives. Through their interactions, some manage to “free” themselves from their bindings and even their mental tie to the depression, though this is very hard to do and most are unwilling to even try. Freeing oneself can sometimes cause the wing markings to disappear, or even a splash of gold coloration to mix itself into the fur or feathers. Removing a Torquehelm’s binding without their consent or when they are having second thoughts can lead to extreme mental trauma or even the death of the individual. They are bound to their own bindings and the mentality of the land. Some who try to “snap” their friends out of it inadvertently make them worse.

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

Vermin: Vermin are easy to locate and, even though their name may bring other thoughts, they are generally quite sweet and docile. They live anywhere that food is plentiful and tend to stay away from the Selkie Lakes. They usually look like rats or mice, though gerbils are not unheard of.

ITEMS

Jade Ring: This beautiful silver ring is set with small bits of dark green jade. It tingles slightly when touched and if placed on will seem to erupt the image of an incredible and awe-inspiring Highland/Morganberry Feline.
The creature seems ethereal, it's so beautiful, and even if it isn't necessarily to someone's direct preference normally, they will find it to be the only thing they could possibly desire while its image is visible. Genderless, its image appeals as a gender that the person viewing would most wish to see.
Once a week, the owner of the ring will find that they are now able to summon this image for a full 30 seconds. During this time Cards ranked Jack or lower will have eyes and attention only for this captivating image of pure beauty. The user can only conjure and use this spell if they are wearing the ring at the time. This means the ring can be stolen and used by others.

Double Stilettos: These stunningly beautiful little weapons are able to be summoned back to Miah's hand no matter where they have fallen after he's thrown them. Though their hilts are a rather plain black color, the blades themselves shine brightly enough to give off a faint glow when wielded, enough to give Spades using their dark vision quite a tiny headache if he chooses. These weapons will always hit their target, though they will never be able to hit vital points unless the thing attacking Miah means to kill. In a Queen's battle, they would be come ineffective at hitting vitals as well.

The weapons are small enough that they will not defend him against any magical or physical attacks, but must be used offensively. After striking a target, the knives will fly back to his hand unless caught by a spell worth 100p or more that would successfully detain them; after 5 throws a day, though, the knives will lose their magical influence, and become normal Stilettos.

Blackened Roses: These three roses appear in varying stages of health and reality.

1. Would appear normal if it weren't for its odd coloration, the petals forming in a velvety black while the stem, leaves, and thorns all appear to be slightly reflective in their coloration, changing tints in the light. It looks fresh cut and healthy, soft to the touch (at least the petals are) and wonderfully fragrant.
2. This rose looks as though it has been dragged through hell backwards. It only has 2 petals left, and these are dried, blistered looking, and dusty. It's stem looks like a twisted burnt twig, with withered leaves barely hanging onto its fractured form. The thorns though...they look as though they are made from pure obsidian, they shine with a luster not seen in many things, not even precious metals...
3. This rose appears to be made of soft materials better suited for a doll than a plant. It is soft and cuddly, the fabrics being very plush and delightful. The petals appear to be made of velvet, while the stem is satin with silk leaves. Its thorns appear to be made of black marble, sanded and rounded so as not to hurt or injure.
Each of these roses has the ability to grant a very specific power, mutation, or breeding favor. However, only the fist one chosen will unleash its full potential. You may use all of them, but only the first will give off something amazing, the others will be reduced to smaller versions of their powers. (For example: If one gives an ability, but is chosen 2nd or 3rd, instead of granting an amazing ability, it will grant a small one around the same theme.)
