Shinrai, Queen of Hearts

[seraaches]

ID: SD099
Name: Shinrai, "Rai" or "Whip"
Suit: Heart
Rank: Queen
Gender: Male
Animal: Equine
Region: Josiggy Marsh
Dealer: Seraaches
Mutations: Long, whip-like tail and no mane.

*Notes: He upholds the normal beliefs of the Josiggy Marshes, but he also highly resents those of the Sorgaire Range. When he was young, he and his sibling were captured by Lowlanders. They cried out for assistance to a Range dweller working near-by...all he did was cry back "neutral!" and pass them by, leaving his sibling dead and himself sorely wounded.


Notes: Wearing that bone gauntlet for so long seems to have been a poor choice! o__O His entire left arm, from the elbow down, has been stripped of flesh. He quite literally woke up one morning and it all fell off... The arm is still functional, but far more fragile and has no sensation in it whatsoever. On the right side of his face another problem has cropped up. An odd, bone like growth that is slowly growing in threads around his eye, soon it will make a full circle around it, thick and fused to his skin.
This grants him the full ability of the gauntlet. he an now see any and all spirits. Though he can still only communicate with them if they have stayed behind for him. If they are not waiting for him, they will not be able to realize that he sees them and will not respond even if he yells in their face. But he knows where they are, and what they look like... <3 And if he listens closely enough...he can very faintly hear them.

Basic Magical Ability: He can ignore moderate amounts of pain for up to ten minutes.
Moderate Magical Ability: When activated, he gains an immediate proficiency with any weapon that he picks up. This can be activated and deactivated at will.
Strong Magical Ability: When activated, he can inflict mental pain on another card of any suit, once per day. The degree of pain is like that of a branding iron being pressed into the hind quarters of the victim.
Powerful Magical Ability: When activated, he 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 allows him access to everything...except one small issue. If he tries to speak through them while controlling their mind, his voice will issue from their mouth.
Jack's Ability: He can become invisible for about twenty minutes, once per week. When he does so, he creates an illusion of himself that he can control mentally...so he could technically create an image of himself in a fight, and send it running in the opposite direction XD
King's Ability: He is able to pull memories from other people at will. He needs to be touching them in order for it to work and most cards will pass out due to the sudden pain of extraction (Anything below the rank of Jack has no chance and will fall unconscious. Other Kings may be able to withstand the pain, only very hearty Jacks can take it....And it just pisses most Queens off XD)
The extraction will cause a small, wavering window, much like a television screen, to appear in front of him, he may then sift through the person's memories, find the one he wants, and play it back.
He can do this once per day and it is slightly draining for him to do so.
This ability allows him to see the truth of matters, even if the person involved were lying to themselves, he would be able to see what actually happened and observe more accurately. Sound (Voices, explosions, whatever) accompanies all visions.
Queen's Ability: He can call forth three different aspects of himself. All will look like him and can take on any of his (soon to be) three forms. They will each represent one emotion at a time that he assigns to them; be it hatred, sorrow, or delight, they will all have to feel it at the same time. They can be called forth for one hour and he will have full control over all of them. This would be very useful in a fight or in a chase as all would be able to take off in different directions with his intent in mind.
He can do this one per month and after they vanish he is exhausted and must rest or risk passing out.
Amazing Ability: Once a week he is able to use the power of another Card against them. This does not stop them from having that power and they will know how to use it better, but he can use it to the fullest extent that they can and against them. In order to get this power to work however, he must first manage to touch their rank and/or suit symbol (meaning this won't work on Jokers). The other Card will then feel an odd and slightly painful tearing sensation as the hand is ripped away. He will then know of and have one of their powers of his choice at his disposal <3

Heart: The Claw

Hearts are a bit rarer in society, and are also the most revered. For parents to receive a Heart as a child is a blessing and a delight, as the child will probably bring them power that they do not have. The ferocity and short temper of the Suit is legendary, but not necessarily true for all in the Suit. Hearts have a tendency towards recklessness and wildness in their actions, though their ability to muster power at the snap of their fingers is most assuredly true and remarkable. It serves them well as the most feared and respected of the Suits.

The symbol of the Hearts, the Claw, is most fitting, as there is nothing more brutal than to be hit in the face with something sharp; be it their wit, their magic, or their fist, the experience won't be pleasant. Hearts tend to delight in the fact that they are represented as ruthless and unkind. Some of them feel that power cannot truly be gained with kindness, though others resent the fact that their friendships are all superficial and that their lovers are all two-faced. They may attempt to make themselves seem different.

Basic Magical Ability: All Hearts can ignore moderate amounts of pain for up to an hour, depending on the willpower of the individual.

--------------------------------------------

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.

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.

the Dream

He stood still, watching in horror as the Lowlanders ripped into a mirror image of himself. Green mouth gaped open to show even, white teeth frothed with blood. Yellow and gold-brown stripes lurched in agony as first one canine, then another ripped into flesh with teeth and crimson-ridden claws. The open, festering wounds of the Lowlanders disgusted him, but not nearly as much as his self-hatred.

“Rai!” the image cried out in pain and horror and he shrilled his fear back.

“Help us! Please!” He screamed at the grey and slate blue creature staring idly at the scene. A skunk. He hated skunks. Almost more than he hated the colour blue. It was a Diamond. A low Diamond. Simply staring at them as though they were some type of exotic show. “HELP US!”

The skunk lofted his nose and said, “Neutral.” And he walked off as Shin cried out for wot was only the first time over the next three hours.

“No,” the equine whispered in disbelief. “Come back… COME BACK!”

Items:

Summoned Whip:
Sentient, it will now always strike a target that it a King or lower and do as much damage as a whip normally would (unless they dodge or have a power that allows them to dodge or be invisible. <3) It can also now communicate with him on small levels in his mind.

Whip Ability: Once a day, when the whip hits an opponent, it will secrete a small amount of venom that will silence the opposing SD entirely. They will not be able to speak for a full three days as their vocal cords are paralyzed. Any spells they have that might need spoken word of a verbal summon are now beyond their ability to activate.



Bone Gauntlet:
This gauntlet is bound to your hand with leather straps. It's said that it will help the person wearing it to better understand those who have passed on. Though it's not yet certain as to how...the last owner was...unable to answer that question.

Character Profile:

Shinrai is a very cautious individual; he survived a Lowlander attack when he was a mere colt, an attack that took his twin brother's life. He was raised out in Josiggy Marsh by a strange Club canine named Elias and eventually ranked up so he could enter the Courts. Partnered with El, he began a tour guide business in the Marsh, and moved to the Capital when he finally became a Jack. He entered the Courts as a King under The Queen of Hearts Serafino.

When Fino was assassinated, Rai saw the collapse of most of his plans; he never wanted the position of The Queen of Hearts but, duty-stricken and loyal, he took up the reins of power.

Many people misunderstand wot they see in the stallion: Rai is exceedingly cautious and aware of his surroundings. He's not expecting an assassination attempt out of every corner, but he is still highly aware that there could be one. Often labelled 'paranoid' by those who don't know him, he still does not show the level of fear and anxiety a truly paranoid person was.

Despite his cautiousness, Rai is a very caring individual. He will often go out of his way to aid people, especially those he deems friends or family. However, he also will help out a stranger at any time. He finds it a point of honour to get to know those under him at the Courts, though this has bitten him a time or two.

Rai does not know who his parents are and his late brother's name was Shinjou.

Rai has twenty-one children. With Mnem: Iraishin, Helena, Venka, Vishne, Eir, Iphis, and Perseus. With Sekhmet: Teremun "Sid", Ayanami, Sadiki, and Tokasu "Levi". With Ader: Spite, Vicious, Blight, Scourge, Fate, Fey, Zehen, Cyanide, Brimstone, and Havoc.
