[Mace Parshath]

*What do they do when they are nervous? Sad? Happy?
Nervous: Goes quiet.
Sad: Plays cards with himself, endlessly, never talking.
Happy: Laughs, becomes very talkactive, jokes around, and is overall a fun guy to be around.
*What lets them let off steam?
Playing cards, jogging, working out, or just talking with people.
*Are they domineering, type A individuals or relaxed, type B individuals?
Type B
*Are they sociable or lone wolves?
When people are around, he will pop open a bottle of wine and enjoy the time. But when nothing special is going on, he's normally alone, or with a very small group of people playing cards.
*Are they talkative or quiet? Are there some instances where they may be more or less talkative?
Talkactive at parties and poker games, quiet most other times. He seems to need the relaxed, artsy sort of atmosphere to really get active and jovial. Or drunk, which is next to never.

Family: All his family is dead from back when he was child, his dad went into serious debt and the Yakuza came after him, killing everyone except the boy so they could raise him. There is no real explaination as to why.

Homeworld: Chicago, Earth (Lives in Tokyo)

School/Childhood: He was two years old when his parents were killed by the same men who raised him afterwards - The Yakuza. He bears no ill-will towards them, since he barely remembers anything that happened that far back. Jerry grew up with a firm, but leniant hand, which brought him up as a great person to hang around with, but also a strict person when it came to family honor. He doesn't regret anything about his childhood.

Property: Several decks of cards, a nice apartment, and a slick motorcycle. He doesn't but much.

Contacts/Friends: Yakuza.

Enemies: Enemies of the Yakuza.

Ethics: Honor, to him, is high on his list. He believes that friends are great to have, and work is before play. He has a basic set of principles, like only lie if it's to help save a life or something similar. But he believes in taking responsibility for his actions, never stealing nor hurting anyone unless there's a reason for it. He often plays devil's advocate.

Religious and Spirituality: Shintoism.

Tattooes:

One is a giant target sight on his left shoulderblade where his heart will be, which draws in encounters for the group.

Another is Pac-Man eating marshmallows around his right bicep that allows him to draw in HP with every hit he deals.

He has a pissed off moogle on his left middle-finger, with steam coming from the bouncy spoof ball on its antennae (antennae imprinted right into his fingernail), which better increases his chances with the Slots technique, or any other chance-based attack.

Finally, he has a pair of animated red dice tattooed tumbling down from his ears down to an animated tattoo of a cup in his chest, which shakes itself, then drops six dices, each finding a place on his six-pack set of abs. This, depending on the numbers the dice land on, will double, triple, etc. his accuracy, potency, chances, etc.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Seems very developed.

Initial problem: What would someone with Yakuza ties be doing with CH? It's not impossible, but CH does ask for a certain degree of loyalty and their interests might end up being anti-Yakuza.

What do the Cards from the Lost Room do? What is a Worn Deck? (Seems like you have card powers, which is fun, but then you should go for things like Yu-Gi or Jaiden from Yu-Gi-Oh, Sakura from Cardcaptors, etc.) A Soul Society katana is a zanpakuto. Not all Soul Society weapons are katana: Their unifying factor is the spirit inside them that is released by the shikai, or first release, and the bankai, or second release, as well as providing the subsidiary abilities such as Ichigo's energy blasts or Byakuya's hand control of his blades to double their speed, defensive and offensive configurations, and battle dome.

Why would his Dark-Light paths include Atlantean tech? Is he True Atlantean, or maybe half-TA? Generally, Dark-Light paths are divvied up a bit more logically: That is, the light path emphasizes one side of the character, say his mysticism, and the dark path emphasizes another side, say his criminal skills. Not to say that those choices are bad, but you should think of a title for each.

DIO would include: Tzemke, RSN, optional one from Ichigo, Riding Moogle from Cait Sith, Amidamaru and one Overspirit of your choice from Yoh.

Obviously left to do is Energon Disc form, abilities, Skills (seemingly very important with this character), etc.

[Mace Parshath]

Well, I was wondering about the Yakuza thing too, but I came to the idea that he is considering leaving the Yakuza in pursuit of a more honest life style, but takes a vow to not do anything that would hurt the Yakuza in anyway, since that's his family, and he's American, not Japanese, by the way. So, Ex-Yakuza.

The Cards from the Lost Room unleash the person's very nightmares and fears upon them all at once, even amplifying them to make the person have brain damage, sometimes. The 'Worn Deck' is just a deck of plain cards that are fairly used, personal item. It's the deck of cards he uses to play with his 'father' in the Yakuza, and his real father in the afterlife, since he's a mystic and Shaman. And not card powers, just anything gambling related, like Slots. He just happens to like cards, and he does have some abilities involving the Transgressive Hand, a certain set of cards that bring the opponent and Jerry to a dimensional 'slip' in space, their own little personal space, and the one who draws the lowest in a game of war, is trapped in the dimension when it collapses in on itself.

Alrighty, zanpakuto it is then. And if you didn't notice, under Positive Traits, he has Atlantean Gene Therapy. In the show Stargate Atlantis, Atlanteans were the 'Ancients', or pre-humans, that brought humans to earth and were incredibly advanced in technology. They have some damn powerful technology. In the show, people still have the genes of the Atlanteans (Ancients) that mingled with the humans on earth, and so they can use the lost technology. The military branch, the SGC (Stargate Command), took samples from those with the gene and could use the technology activated by such genes, and gave the therapy out to those in the military, so when they went to Atlantis in the next galaxy over through their stargate they could use the Atlantean technologies. So not True Atlantean or Half TA. He just has some gene treatment.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Oh yeah, Name and some of the other biographical stuff should be at the top before the longer descriptions of personality and so on, I like that format.

A'ight, ex-Yakuza, hopefully he won't find himself in a position that he will have to deny his vow. Will he show the same loyalty to CH?

If you have a Trangressive card power, you have a Forbidden card power. Future trainers to raise the gambling skill are Setzer Gabbiani, James Bond...

Got that. Atlantean Gene Therapy can be purchased very easily by your Genetics Lord on the team and therefore doesn't even count as a Positive Trait, unless it's purchased at high power and/or as part of a broader SG package.

Overspirit of choice?

Also: Tattoo designs?

[Mace Parshath]

As long as the CH is willing to help him out when he needs it, yes. Eye for an eye kind of guy.

My Overspirit is a (former) casino owner dabbled in voodoo mysticism. He can help give Jerry info on how to channel energy into his cards, making them explosive like Gambit. Actually, I think Daniel Jackson really isn't that valuable for him, I'll switch him for Gambit.

Tattoos...one will be a giant target sight on his left shoulderblade where his heart will be, which draws in encounters for the group.

Another is Pac-Man eating marshmallows around his right bicep that allows him to draw in HP with every hit he deals.

He has a pissed off moogle on his left middle-finger, with steam coming from the bouncy spoof ball on its antennae, which better increases his chances with the Slots technique, or any other chance-based attack.

Finally, he has a pair of animated red dice tattooed tumbling down from his ears down to an animated tattoo of a cup in his chest, which shakes itself, then drops six dices, each finding a place on his six-pack set of abs. This, depending on the numbers the dice land on, will double, triple, etc. his accuracy, potency, chances, etc.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Yeah, when you enter an organization, you sort of need to be willing to accept just the entrance

How did you get an Overspirit? The 20 CPs of SK Shaman?

That all sounds fine, but it doesn't sound like YAKUZA tattooes. I think they would have more serious ones of dragons and flowers and snakes and so on.
