Joker

The name Joker refers to an individual with a mutation in the form of the OGene, a biological characteristic thought to have been wiped out during the Great War between the Insurgency and the Regime. In the Realm, Jokers are a rarity with 1:400,000 people being Jokers.

==Overview==
Much like how entities such as wizards, witches, zombies and fairies are perceived in our world, the term "Joker" on the continent of Gaia in Dark Nights is well known. What is in question however, is the actual existence of the beings the infamous word describes. Jokers are very much a myth, a myth thought to have been manipulated and contrived by Reiss and Hydra founder, Markus Reiss; as well as the events of a blank period of time known as "The Void Century."
Despite not knowing whether they exist, it is thought that humanity as a collective conscious carries a latent hate for Jokers, a fact shown by actions such as school children bullying kids they consider to be Jokers to the point of suicide. Just the very idea of Joker's existing can cause humanity to veer its ugly face and take drastic actions to protect their status as top of the food chain.
==Biological Characteristics==
===OGene===
The exact science of the OGene is a great mystery to many of the top scientific industries around the world. It is thought that the majority of living creatures across the continent are capable of "awakening" the OGene but to an extremely negligible. The way in which the OGene is triggered between conception and birth truly baffles experts with there seemingly being no cause or correlation. 
It is thought that siblings of Jokers show compatibility with the OGene in such a way whereby dormant OGenes can be transferred into their body and activated without rejection. A feat that hasn't been demonstrated by anyone else, even parent/child. 
OGenes are the source of a Joker's extraordinary power, they carry potential that can be awakened later on in life which provide the Joker with new abilities.

===Weaknesses===
====Venom====
Venom is a unique purple crystal which takes an excruciatingly long time to mine for. It's existence came about some time during the Void Century and was initially used by the Dawnguard to root out Jokers. Venom has since been weaponized completely and is now a focal component of the anti-joker regiment the CJA pushes. Venom can now be utilized within bullets, as a gas, spear/sword edges, liquid and as a source of power for anti-Joker machinery such as mecha units or battle suits. 
While AIM effects the abstract element of Jokers, that is their abilities, Venom affects them physically. Within the presence of Venom a Joker will begin to feel weak and with physical contact their OGene will begin to deteriorate. A tolerance can be built to the effect of Venom and while touching it won't immediately cripple a Joker, their attack potency as well as their general mobility is greatly hindered through prolonged exposure and contact. 
====AIM====
An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM is a term used to refer to the phenomenon in which an Ace involuntarily produces an invisible energy field around their person. While the AIM Diffusion Field is the energy field that surrounds the Ace and is made up of the aggregation of that energy, coming as a result of an Ace's personal reality being applied to their AIM.
AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by Ace. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring individuals who can actually sense them. The presence of AIM nullifies the effects of OGenes within a Joker. Attacks created through AIM will always overshadow attacks created through OGenes.
