ID: SD154
Name: Ichigo
Suit: Spades
Rank: Ten
Gender: Male
Animal: Vermin (Mouse)
Region: The Mid-Range
Dealer: Kari Muffin
*Notes: His scar is a jagged cut across his spine, though by the clean look of his coat, he doesn't bleed himself too often. His small, thick mane is seen as highly attractive to most other Mid-Rangers.
He has a multitude of scars from a fight with Mephit. His left ears is missing entirely. His leg is being replaced with a mechanical one.
Icy Ring Effect: He now has a permanent hard rime of frost and ice covering his right arm, making it look like a monstrous claw. His actual arm withered up and became nearly skeletal in an extremely painful ten minutes, though it is still visible through the ice. This icy coating cannot be broken and can only be damaged by magical fire. It also cannot feel pain.
Basic Magical Ability: He can run up to 20mph in sprints and 10mph 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 one gallon of drinking water up to two times per day.
Powerful Magical Ability: When activated, he can call forth and dismiss a small familiar that is unique to the individual.

The Mid-Range: Mid-Rangers are extremely concerned with their personal honor and their standing within a community. They are basically taught from birth to be responsible for themselves through the magically caused cut given to every baby. This cut causes the person to bleed if they feel guilty about something, making it very easy for parents to tell when their children have done something wrong! As they grow older, they can gradually learn to control this bleeding, but they will only survive into adulthood if their caregivers teach them properly. Even adult Mid-Rangers continue the practice of bleeding their shame away; a habit that can cause other regions to cringe. Mid-Rangers will also practice suicide if they feel they have dishonored themselves or their community too much; if the ‘sin’ was bad enough, sometimes their caregiver will also kill themselves under the belief that they didn’t raise the child correctly.
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.
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.
