The Card Sharks appear to be normal women in their twenties of uncertain ethnic heritage, with brown skin. They usually wear smart clothing, black jacket, white shirt, skirt and heel.

 

The clone-triplets look identical, but they have taken to different hair colour to aid in their distinction (sometimes matched by clothing colour). “Club” has brown hair, “Heart” has strawberry blonde hair, and “Spade” has jet black hair.

 

History:
The Card Sharks are the result of a seventy-year project initiated by the Nazi’s and continued by SHADOW/OVERSHADOW. They are genetically altered clones of mutant woman with a debilitating skin condition. Over years, the genome was progressively refined until three identical clone “triplets” were created. And then the Freedom League of the day eliminated the experiment.

 

The Zoss family collaborated with the Nazi’s and, in decades past, held onto some of the research. August Zoss, in his mission to root out the shadow of SHADOW from his companies past, found the files and the three triplets, frozen in ice. August Zoss gave them jobs and training and erased the file data.

 

Personality & Motivation

The Card Sharks have a somewhat icy demeanour, professional, crisp. They are not cruel or sadistic, however.

 

Whilst they are grateful to August Zoss and his company for rescue and rehabilitation, they are not fanatically loyal. They are fiercely protective of their sister-clones. They are loyal to their job and role, and their wealth and status. They do engage in “fun” too; gambling, karaoke, and even the odd martini.

 

Powers & Tactics:
The Card Sharks are fundamentally human, but with the original skin condition twisted into a regenerative boon. They heal fast, and their senses are exceptional. As a peculiar quirk, their skin can absorb oxygen from water, and thus they are able to survive underwater.

 

The three clones seem to be psychically linked, and thus they can communicate with each other telepathically.

 

The Card Sharks are remarkably strong for their build, and have exceptional reflexes. They have moderate combat training. Whilst their main job is security and running the Zoss business (particularly the High Steaks), they are more than capable of handling a few drunken thugs.

On reflection, Diamondlights minions dont work - too much concept, too complex for minions in my opinion. I think I got carried away with the "Shark" theme. But as I already have a shark PC, this was just a silly pun and obviously I need psychoanalysis to understand the symbolism of sharks. 

 

Anyway. 

 

Could you possibly replace Diamondlights sheet with this much cleaner (in concept and maths) sheeet which strips the Card Sharks back to bare bones (which is still - clones with regenerative powers who act as business and security personel for Zoss).   

[Fox]

I count 122 ranks of skills, rather than 120, but definitely double-check that.

 

I count 16pp of feats, rather than 17pp, but again double-check my count.

 

Double-check the rank on the second set of Super-Senses, though I believe the cost is correct.

[Supercape]

Cut down to 2 ranks of Gather Information - should add up now. 

Feats - actually was 18 PP as I forget to add in Equipment. Dropped Quick Draw, should add up now to 17 PP

Super senses annotation sorted. 

 

Could this sheet replace the old one on Diamondlights sheet?

[Fox]

Yep, once fully reviewed it can just be copied & pasted over the old sheet.

 

For now, here's your first APPROVAL!
