a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Conumbra

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

[/i]King[/i]

Ace

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 entered th bar, bells jingling at every step. He was justly prepared for a boring night with nothing going on except the normal universe-destroying bar fight and the revelation of the century that happened every day around this place. Instead, who should he spy except for Cryoface! This would be fun. Pulling out a king of spades, the floor underneath Cryoface's next step would suddenly collapse. This place always had bad floorboards.

Blackjack turned mildly towards Dragon, seeming her, before the ceiling mysteriously collapsed over heard. Shoddy construction, how sad. Turning back to Cryoface, the ceiling over top of him also collapsed. This place really needed to be overhauled.

Blackjack ordered some drinks, one for him and the other for Celeste. "You know, I always wondered why you bothered to meddle in the affairs of mortals. You certainly don't seem to be amused by interference. Or anything for that matter. By the way, nice trick, you mind teaching me that sometime?" Finally seeming as if he had heard Celeste's question, he turned to her "Why are you so concerned? Not like I made the center of the universe blow up, though I'm working on that."

Blackjack chuckled "Absolutely nothing dear boy, I just find this amusing. By the way, don't you have a child to save, or do you want to just let her throat be cut open. I don't now the costs for cleaning out a dead body, but I assume they're not cheap."

Blackjack again chuckled "You might want to work on that little archive, I don't cause random destruction. I cause chaos, there's a big difference, which I feel I must inform you of." He turned to Dragon, gripping her hand and shaking it. "Thank you, that's not the only thing I can do." An explosion would be heard about a block away. "That would be the nearby gas station, probably a fuel leak combined with static electricity. Enjoy that sound because it should be reversed in about 5 seconds."

Blackjack giggles "Fine then, I'll stop. For the moment at least." He drank his wine, tipping his mask up, showing his true face briefly to Tatsuma before closing it again. "You're right, it is redundant, but it is oh so fun. Now shoo." Turning back to Celeste he said "You can place limiters on gods? Nice, I shall have to inform someone of this. But anyway, what have you been doing Celeste, I assume you've been doing other things than coming here to ruin my fun."

Blackjack shrugged "Woop de doo. That means I get new ones soon. Thanks. Although, it does seem a bit of an overreaction to a plumbing failure. I'll tell her to file the correct paperwork. Oh wait..." Suddenly the correct paperwork appeared in his hand "Thanks Dolmeena." Handing her the paperwork he said "Dolmeena told me to give you this." Going back to drinking his wine he replied to Dragon "Well I can assure you, I'm no demon. More like an imp, or a trickster."

Blackjack sighed "Yeah, though not many people do. Seems after you threaten to kill a girl by stabbing her with hundreds of spikes at once, people seem to think you're some kind of demon. I 'm not, I just like to cause chaos." Looking at Dragon, he said "By the way, what are you anyway?" Finally seeming to notice Tatsuma he chuckled "Irresponsible is applicable when you have responsibilities. My only responsibility is to create chaos."

Blackjack had had some inclinations about Whisper ever since he had seen her with Nyx. When he had heard Marxan was going to meet Whisper, he had told himself he was going to shelter Marxan and he had done just that. After the meeting with Marxan, he had stayed, and was now witness to the fight before him. So his inclinations were correct. However, he wouldn't interfere. If Whisper won, his plans would be put into motion, but if she didn't, then there were other days.

Blackjack sauntered into the bar, bells ringing all over his costume as he walked, the mask on his face (split between happy and sad) belying no emotions within him. Spying Morvrin, sitting at the bar, he hurried over there and ordered himself a drink, before casually drawing a Queen of Hearts. He didn't know whether she would fight back or not, but what he was about ask might elicit an aggressive response. Turning to Morvrin, he saw her uniform which identified her as a superior officer. He gave a cough, before continuing. "Excuse me miss, but what exactly are you doing here? Doesn't look like you're on an operation."

Blackjack slammed the back door open very forcefully, with a loud sound. "Lucy, I'm hommmmmme, he said." Seeing everyone fighting, he pulled out the queen of hearts and made a telekinetic shield around himself, to protect himself from the gas and the rockets and the bullets and oh my! Strutting to the bar, he lifted a wine bottle and poured himself a drink.

Blackjack was getting pretty annoyed as bullets hit his shield. What was with these men and firing indiscriminately? He thought the Aschen had that pretty much had that whole shtick taken.

Blackjack pulled out his coin, which he flipped on important decision. Heads, he wouldn't interfere, tails he would. He flipped the coin, watching as it twisted in the tear-gas tainted air. As he caught it, he flipped it over onto his wrist to see the results. Tails. This would be fun indeed. Grabbing the wine bottle he had just used to pour his drink with his mind, he levitated it up until it reached the top of the bar. Looking behind the bar, he spotted a crewman dragging someone off. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the bottle sailing towards that crewman's head.

Blackjack had to decide quickly between grabbing the bullets or letting them hit the shield. One would require all of the energy the other needed as well. However, this decision was taken away from him as the bullets hit his shield, which made him wince. Spying all of the bottles beside the bar, he grabbed each of of them one by one with his mind and sent them towards the crewman. He hoped the kid he was carrying could resist a few glass scrapes.
