*Notes: His mind is in a very fragile state after the incident...he may never truly be the same again. If not taken care of properly...he could begin to degenerate. His eyes also seem strangely clouded...odd...
Basic Magical Ability: He can run up to 35mph in sprints and 15mph for up to an hour in extended runs.
Moderate Magical Ability: When activated, he can see black-and-white clearly in the dark. This can be activated and deactivated at will. Should he look at a moderate to bright light with this ability activated, however, he will experience intense pain and be left with a splitting headache for up to one day.
Strong Magical Ability: When activated, he can create two gallons of drinking water up to three times per day.
Powerful Magical Ability: He is able to shoot a small column of steam two feet out of his hands for thirty seconds once a week. The steam is rather hot and burns flesh on contact. The spell has no effect on Clubs ranked Jack or higher.
Jack's Ability: He can turn almost any material into glass, though for now it only works with objects that are either his size or smaller. He prefers to turn small bits of leaf and twig into intricate glass figurines, making them seems to calm him. It does not appear to work on flesh and blood beings.

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.
Highlands: Residents are usually white with swirls of gold and red slash-like markings.
Many consider the Highlands to be the most beautiful lands in the world to date. Lush, rolling meadows, rich fields, thin stretches of forest, and quaint brooks make the Highlands one of the most respected and idolized realms in which to work and trade. The residents of the Highlands tend to hold themselves in equally high regard and they are often respected, no matter the rank, if that is where they hail from. It is rumored that those from the Highlands are destined for greatness, and they are often groomed from birth to think so. The Highlands actually border the Courts and even overlap a bit into the Court of Hearts.
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.
Birds: Birds are seen fairly often across the Realms. They are a far cry from hard to find, yet slightly rarer than a Feline or Canine. They are usually found outside of the Marshes, which they tend to despise, and will often roost in the Highlands until chased out by the residents. Birds can be anything from predatory to a common sparrow.
