Everything is merely an illusion.

I am. You are.

We were all made for the entertainment of one man.

The Game Master, The creator of these said illusions.

As His servants in this illusionary world, we must carry out His plans without question, for He may dispel us.

We call our religion "The Game"

Those who please Him the most, and those He trusts, He gives the most honored place in our Game.

The Deck of Fifty-Two.

Fifty-Two of the best men and women, separated into four different suits.

The Diamonds, Those tied to Royalty, or in Politics.

Hey Chad, I noticed you had put this up. Do you plan on releasing the cultists who sign up he onto the detectives in the main RP?

Why yes. Not all at once of course.

Edited: Sorry I made a whole character page without properly realizing the setting. I might try to make another character at a later time.

Name: Scratch

Age: 56

Gender: Male

Suit: Hearts

Card: Jack

Personality:
To those who see him on the street corner Scratch is a muddled, daft old man who spends his days sitting by the street and begging for coin. But the Game Master knows him for what he truly is, a master thief and source of information that only those who can move unseen can learn. Scratch is amicable and polite all "yes sirs" and "no ma'am". When he needs to be but this is at best a small part of him. When encountering those he needs to he can be very persuasive and convincing and is an expert at distraction and obfuscation.

Biography:
Not much is known about Old Scratch except that it seems that he has been on the corner begging for coin since the beginning of time. Though rumor as always abounds among the other urchins and beggars. They claim he was a rich man who lost his wealth and wife in a risky venture to America yet others say he was an officer in the Royal Navy who was kicked out for insubordination, despite this speculation the truth is still unknown except to two men and neither are willing to talk.

Why you are part of The Game:
Scratch is an expert thief in his own right able to lift anything without so much as a hint he had been responsible, he also maintains a loose network of other urchins and beggars which keeps him informed of what they hear and see, you'd be surprised what is said in front of those who are beneath notice. He then uses this information to organize robberies, muggings and to keep people one step ahead of the police. He fills a scouting and reconnaissance role for the Fifty-Two keeping them informed on the movements and knowledge of their enemies while keeping their activities hidden.

How did you ascend to the position you are in now:
On the streets it's who you know that's more important than much anything else and with his introduction into the Fifty-Two Scratch was able to garner the influence of other street urchins and begin building his "Network" of informants and spies.

Scratch

Amazing. Accepted. Welcome to the Fifty-Two.

[guyvolk]

Woo Hoo!

[ChadsWorth The Third]

Right now, we are looking for lower Cards. At most 6, but you don't have to.

[Lord Pie]

Am I to understand this is for characters that would be 'enemies' to the group in 'A Murderer's Game', working under the Game master?

I may indeed be interested in a small role, one of the lower cards of one of the suits. What kind of characters were you looking for, anything specific at this stage?

That is correct.

You can pick any suit you wish, and any kind of character, but try to make him/her really super loyal, like to the death.

So yeah. :)

[ChadsWorth The Third]

I have a friend making some characters for this, so, expect at least three tomorrow.

[Lord Pie]

Splendidy! Here is one I got, I may make another character or two - but want to ensure I don't overload myself with an RP load I can't handle or anything like that.

Frederick ‘Freddie’ Butler

(Coming soon to a CS near you!)

Name:
Frederick ‘Freddie’ Butler

Age:
34

Gender:
Male

Suit:
The Clubs

Card:
Seven of Clubs

Personality:
Freddie was once a young enthusiastic lad serving under the British army, filled with dreams of glory and inspired to be the best he could be. Six years, two dead best friends and a dishonourable discharge later and he was nothing like the boy who had once enlisted, his personality now that of a cynical and experienced soldier. He cares little for the lives of others and is thoroughly disillusioned at the state of things in the world, fed up with the British Empire and all of its pomposity. He is somewhat cruel, aggressive and sarcastic when it comes to general day to day dealings. That being said one thing he values above most is loyalty, feeling as if he was betrayed by his own country he looked elsewhere for a more ‘worthy’ cause to support that the monarch and her ‘fat arse’ as he puts it. As such he is loyal beyond a doubt to his current master – the Game Master, and carries out his instructions to the letter. He is generally a strong willed man, however his vices are tobacco, gambling and of course, women (paid or otherwise).

Biography:
Joining up at the age of 18 with his two best friends Freddie was once a fine young boy, enjoying the sense of duty and comradery that the army afforded him. After their training the trio was sent to participate in the Anglo-Afghan war, and were stationed there permanently after their initial victory. All seemed well until the British began to lose control after several disastrous moves by their commanders, which lead directly to the death of Freddie’s closest friend Phillip. Phillip was temporarily assigned to protect the British commander Macnaghten, however due to his incompetence and deceptive nature the commander was seized and killed along with three other officers and their guards, their bodies being dragged around the streets of Kabul before displayed in the bazaar. After this and several other disasters Major-General Elphinstone made an agreement was reached that provided for the safe exodus of the British garrison and its dependents from Afghanistan. The departing British contingent numbered around 16,500, of which about 4,500 were military personnel, and over 12,000 were camp followers, however they were attacked by Ghilzai warriors as they struggled through the snowbound passes and were killed in huge numbers as they made their way down the 30 miles of treacherous gorges and passes lying along the Kabul River. Freddie and three Indian soldiers were the only surviving members of the battalion that made it to reach Jalalabad as they managed to fight their way through the chaos despite the overwhelming odds. Once safe they were branded as traitors for ‘deserting their posts’, despite the fact that they had each fought until out of ammunition and their swords and bayonets were damaged beyond use. The Indian troops were executed and he was given a dishonorable discharge, leading to his drastic change in character. He spent several years in India as a drunken lout and with serious gambling debts, which lead to his descent into the criminal world where he soon began to flourish due to his skills, most notably as a marksman – however was still disappointed by the almost constant betrayals of the men he worked with . After returning to Britain it was not long before he attracted the attention of the man known as ‘The Game Master’ and was soon working for him, though initially he did not know this. After proving himself most useful as an enforcer and assassin, he was soon inducted into the deck of 52 and has since been moving his way slowly up the pack. In return the Game Master has paid Freddie well and using his numerous connections has removed the dishonorable discharge from his name – earning Freddie’s absolute loyalty and devotion.

Why you are part of The Game:
He not only respects, but also trusts the game master completely. He is very happy with his ‘organisation’ and the fear and loyalty he breeds amongst his followers. Freddie would follow any instructions given to him by the Game Master, even if it ultimately costs him his life.

How did you ascend to the position you are in now:
Careful and loyal hard work. The Game Master of course tested Freddie several times before he was accepted into the pack, playing games that would see just how loyal this former soldier was by tempting him with not only money, but offers of women and power as well if he were to betray his hidden employer only slightly. Freddie not only refused any of these false offers, but also reported them back to his employer, telling nothing but the truth. His ascension is due to his many successes in the jobs he has been given, and he has even rooted out several traitors from the deck who have since been dealt with. He trusts completely in the Game Master and his plans, never questioning, but only obeying. Playing these games have once more given him a purpose.

Ooooo! I love him. He's awesome. Welcome to the Fifty-Two, my friend.

[ChadsWorth The Third]

Recreated the Spades. Work force is too bland

[Lord Pie]

Ah cool, should I switch Freddie to the new spades then, or? I suppose he is more weapon oriented than just brute strength?

Also out of curiosity what were you intentions/plans for posting and what not? Just always the eager one, I am. May work on a very low card today, henchman kinda stuff, just to give you a pawn to play with :p
