Description

Name: Blackjack

Age: Indeterminable, since he is a creation born of the goddess and has no true age. however he came into being around 40 years ago.

Species:Appears to be human but is in reality a godly construct, mortal but powerful when he draws the right card.

Appearance: Blackjack can in theory change himself into whatever he wants when he draws a spade suite card, but normally he takes on the appearance of a jester. His face is covered by a metal mask, one side the side of tragedy, the other the side of comedy. The mask is sealed to his face by magic, preventing anyone but himself from removing or dislodging it. His clothes are those of a jester, his hat that of a jester as well. The suit is half red red and half purple with a split down the middle separating the two colors. There are also bells on almost every conceivable point on the uniform.

Personality:

Equipment/Weapons:
Magical Playing Cards:
These are packs of playing cards that Blackjack draws before every battle. The suite chooses the type of power he has, the value of the card determines the power level of whatever power Blackjack gets. The cards are magical, but they are essentially buttons, letting the jester acess the various abilities at his disposal. Some abilities (spade and club) are magical while others (diamond and heart) aren't.

Powers:These are the suits Blackjack can draw. Whenever he gets a new ability he also gets the abilities that the lesser cards can give him.

Spade:When he draws the spade card, Blackjack has the ability to affect luck around him. When the ten card is drawn he can only affect the objects on contact. When the jack card is drawn he can send out small bad luck hexes at whatever he wants to be affected. When the Queen card is drawn he can affect all objects in a radius of 10 feet in every direction. When the king card is drawn he can control the bad luck of an entire city block. When the ace card is drawn he can control the bad luck of an entire town or city.

Club: When he draws a club card, he gets a special staff that can turn into almost any kind of weapon. When the ten card is drawn he can only change the staff into other pole arms like spears, jousting lances, etc or other staffs. When the jack card is drawn he can transform the staff into any kind of melee weapon. When the Queen card is drawn he can transform the card into any melee or ranged weapon, excluding projectile weapons. When the king card is drawn he can turn it into energy weapons, like lasers, blasters or the like along with projectile weapons. When the Ace card is drawn he can transform the staff into any weapon known including vehicular weapons.

Heart: When a heart card is drawn he has the power of telekinesis, excluding organic or robotic lifeforms. When the Ten card is drawn he can send telekinetic bursts through his hands and feet to help push his opponent away during combat. When the jack card is drawn he can lift small objects ranging from specks of dirt to small scraps of paper. When the queen card is drawn he can lift larger objects, ranging from small furniture to car tires. When the king card is drawn he can lift larger furniture, including tables, desks and small boulders. When the Ace card is drawn he can lift anything short of lifting a building, ranging from cars to large boulders.

Diamond: When a diamond card is drawn Blackjack gets the ability to manipulate light. When the ten card is drawn he can cause an opponent to become blind over prolonged contact. When the jack card is drawn he gains the ability to send beams of hard light to knock back his opponent. When the queen card is drawn he gains the ability to make himself and other people, invisible. He also gains the ability to increase his speed to that of the speed of light, though he usually goes slower because at the speed of light he begins to cause damage to his environment. When the king card is drawn he can create objects out of hard light, ranging from complex objects like bicycles, to simple weapons like boomerangs. When the Ace card is drawn he gains the ability to explode in an incinerating blast of light and heat that can vaporize almost anything. It takes him awhile to do this however and if the enemy is not fried when this occurs, it may take him days for Dolmeena to put him back in this universe.

Here are the different values of cards that he can draw.

Joker

Ten

Jack

Queen

Skills:
Gambling and Chance Knowledge:
Blackjack is an expert on all manner of gambling and knows the risk for almost anything, from skydiving to taking a bus to work everyday.

History: Blackjack was originally a regular human being who gambled his life away to mob bosses in the 1920's of Earth's history. He was saved from execution by the goddess of chance Dolmeena when she appeared to him in front of his captors and blinded them with a brilliant white light. She then teleported the two of them to the heavens and said that the man had two options. Either he could go back to Earth or he could become the living embodiment of chance and help her cause chaos in the universe, He of course accepted the second option and has roamed the universe, causing chaos wherever he goes.

Blackjack smiled as he walked into the bar. Dolmeena had sent him here for a reason. That reason was to...observe the fight between Kayy and Narces. Dolmeena didn't care who won. She only cared about who lost because whoever lost this battle would get a very nice surprise indeed. To help himself Blackjack drew the king of diamonds and stood by the sidelines, eagerly waiting to see who would lose.

Blackjack grew surprised as his ability to use magic was disrupted. No matter, as he had the utmost faith in the goddesss to break through the barrier when he needed her. For the time being however, his powers were useless. He growled, low in his throat but he still stayed to find out the loser.

Blackjack smiled as he approached Katy and began to engage her in conversation. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Another one has escaped from your grasp. Well I suppose you must be content with losing him. Unless... oh just ignore me it was nothing. I had some thoughts on how you could prevent such people from escaping. But they would surely seem preposterous to one such as you. So onto another topic, how has your day been?"

Blackjack smiled. Obviously Katy had not gotten the hint or had chosen to ignore it. But he would drive through the point soon enough. "Why my dear I had no idea that simply engaging in conversation with a police officer was a crime. If it is then I will stand down. But you must have been interested in my thoughts otherwise you would have simply continued on your way. Well are you really interested? I warn you they may seem quite fantastical."

Blackjack 's eyes beamed. "Well my dear to put it simply I have a way for you to be able to apprehend any criminal you want. A way to greater power and ability if you will. All you'd have to do was show up when I ask of you. You may finish up official police business beforehand but you will treat my call as urgently as you must. I will only call you once in your whole lifetime and then I will be out of your hair forever. Well what are your thoughts on this. I will not fault you if you scoff at me but I am most certainly telling the truth."

Blackjack "I have already told you the catch. The catch is that you come when I call. I will only call once and trust me, you will here it when I do. There is no other catch other then this. As for selling your soul, Dolmeena does not need your soul. She's the goddess of chance not of evil or good."

Blackjack "Why the power given to you by Dolmeena to apprehend any and every criminal no matter who or how powerful. But the question still stands, are you interested or do I have to negotiate even more?"

Blackjack "Ah you are smart. The exact power would the ability to disrupt powers. I know you already have your EMPs and AMPs but they are temporary are they not? With this ability you could disrupt other people's abilities or at least weaken them. But if you do not want that then I'm sure Dolmeena could think of some other power you'd like."

Blackjack walked into the bar just as the explosive charge detonated, sending him flying across the room, sailing straight towards Master. Mid flight he drew the king of diamonds card. He then created a sphere of light to prepare himself for impact.

Blackjack releases the solid sphere of light around him after he and Master collapsed in a heap. He pushed Master off of him before turning to Lirium and saying, "The fip of a coin shall decide". Blackjack then flipped a coin. After it had landed he took a look at it. It showed heads which meant he could interfere and stop the fight but nothing more. So he created a barrier of solid light between Lirium and Byron, preventing them from engaging each other drectly. "None shall battle here. Take it outside."

Blackjack walked into the bar, the bells on his jesters uniform jingling as he walked. However he had little time to prepare himself against the onslaught of fire heading towards him as he walked into the bar. He immediately drew the Ace of Diamonds card and created a sphere of hard light around him, protecting him from the heat. Using that barrier he got out of the way of the fire. He then flipped a coin to decide whether he would respond. It landed on tails which meant he could do as he wished to the attacker. So he turned to face Cuddles and created 5 blades of solid light around him, sharp enough to cut through metal. Blackjack then sent those blades directly at Cuddles. If they hit, surely part of the machine would be dismembered.

Blackjack was unable to prepare himself for the full brunt of the fire but was able to put up a shield, however small it was. This did not protect him from all the fire, as it soon broke, letting in the aftershocks of the inferno. This set Blackjack's clothes ablaze but he quickly blew them out with s shield mere inches from his skin that snuffed out the flames. After he dealt with the attack he created an enormous flail the size of Marlene's power armor and then flung it directly at the machine.

Blackjack quickly drew up another shield to protect himself but his strength was weakening. Some more attacks like that and he would be finished. So to prepare himself he began to gather light energy from the surrounding. Other patrons in the bar would gradually see the surrounding area start to dim as if the lights were on a dimmer. Now that his strategy was underway he had to find a way to get rid of the shields. So around himself he created small spheres of blinding light and then flung them at Cuddles. These would home onto the target and when they hit, would explode in an outward pulse of light and heat.

Blackjack used this opportunity to prepare himself, gathering more light energy from the surrounding room, causing the surrounding area to become even darker. He then sent a beam of concussive light energy directly at Cuddles, which was enough to send an armored suit flying through the wooden walls of the bar. He had no doubt that if it hit it would certainly at least deviate him from his coarse.

Blackjack began work right away, sending out a sphere of light that would begin to encircle Cuddles not to protect him, but to hold him. The shield would let through attacks from the outside but would help to keep Cuddles where he was. Blackjack had no idea what kind of power Cuddles possessed so he upped the shield to the highest strength it could be. He then yelled out to the other bar patrons, saying "Anyone? We could use some help over here."

Blackjack grunted as his immense will struggled to keep Cuddles contained. To help him with that Blackjack made the inside of the sphere still holding Cuddles grow spikes that would begin to dig into Cuddles as the barrier began to get smaller and smaller. If this worked Cuddles would exert just enough strength to keep the ball from compacting completely and it would turn into a battle of will between Cuddles and him. He was no sure who would win.

Blackjack instantly exploded in a blast of intense light and heat to get away from the explosion. The blast wasn't at it's full strength but it was enough to send Blackjack back to Dolmeena who was pleasantly surprised with his actions.

Blackjack walks into the dojo, his bells jingling as he went. He then drew the jack of diamonds and then became invisible, ready and willing to fight whomever he wished.
