Character Cards

## Card Functionality

* Upon ability activation, the user's eyes flash yellow, similar to Ruby Rose's silver eye ability in the series RWBY.
* In order for the ability to be accessed at will, the user must connect to their soul.
* If a non-Card Holder kills a Card Holder, they acquire their Card and assume their respective ability.
* If a Card Holder kills another Card Holder that is not part of the Dead Man’s Hand, their own ability gets enhanced and more powerful.
* If a Card Holder kills another Card Holder that is part of the Dead Man’s Hand, their ability not only gets enhanced but they also acquire that person’s ability. The same goes for Dead Man’s Hand holders killing one another.
