Frederick Parker

## Appearance:

Frederick is exactly 6 ft, and he has longish brown hair. He is of average build and dresses casually. He has heterochromia, with one blue eye and one brown eye.

## Personality:

Frederick is a relaxed and funny guy. He generally tries to keep the mood light in whatever situation he’s in, and tries to ease tensions or fear through jokes or wit. However he takes his job and his team’s safety very seriously and will always put himself in danger first or do whatever he can to ensure the success of a mission or the survival of his team mates. He’s compassionate, and though he may not always be the first one to show it he’s very empathetic and hates seeing others suffer. He’s caring and gentle towards those who can’t defend or help themselves and isn’t afraid to stand up to others.

## Stand Ability:

The Joker appears as a hand of 4 ordinary playing cards in Frederick’s hand. These 4 cards are the Jack of Spades, the Queen of Hearts, the King of Diamonds, and the Ace of Clubs. Each card contains the ability to summon a warrior, each with different stat specialties and a unique ability. Only 1 card can be used at once, and defeating one renders all defeated.

Having 4 different abilities allows for more options in battle, and each version has well above average capabilities in their selected area.

### **The Jack of Spades:**

The Jack of Spades card focuses on speed and precision, using well placed strikes with its daggers to deal with opponents, as a trade off it has low durability and overall power.

Its primary ability for combat is a sneaky ability called “mirror warp”, this ability allows The Jack of Spades to instantly relocate itself to any reflective surface. For example: A mirror is behind its opponent, the Jack of Spades is able to teleport to that mirror. There is a 2 turn cool down between uses.

### **The Queen of Hearts:**

The Queen of Hearts is very durable and able to tank more powerful attacks at the cost of speed. The stand wields a massive tower shield that it can use to directly block attacks. Over the last 5 years Frederick has further honed the abilities of this stand, and it is now capable of generating an energy shield from a center gem within its tower shield. This shield takes the shape of a dome and is almost as durable as the primary shield. If this shield is broken it cannot be replaced until the following day. It can be generated around the stand itself or on anything within its range. The barrier is selectively permeable, meaning Frederick can select what is allowed to pass through and what isn’t.

### **The King of Diamonds:**

The King of Diamonds is capable of delivering incredibly powerful punches and has very impressive strength. The stand delivers damage primarily through the gauntlets on its arms. Along with this the King also possesses a cord that it is capable of thrashing or ensnaring its opponents with.

### **The Ace of Hearts:**

The Ace of Clubs is the final form that The Joker is capable of taking. This form is all about range and precision. The Ace carries a large rifle that fires powerful rounds capable of immense piercing damage.The stand’s range is huge and its capable of great accuracy and damage at immense distances. The Ace is also capable of deploying a smoke screen.

### **Weakness:**

As a trade off none of the 4 are particularly strong, specializing in a single area and having significant drawbacks in other areas. Switching out takes 2 turns.

## Backstory:

Frederick was born in London. His family always struggled with money. To help them he would often work odd jobs and do sometimes questionable things. At age 21 he was recruited into the organization Project Requiem, where for the last 5 years he’s worked in their task force, tracking down hostile stand users and other supernatural threats. He’s one of the team’s field leaders and has dealt with threats ranging from vampires to murderous gang leaders. His stand ability has improved drastically since his time with the team, and his own determination and desire to be stronger has stemmed from the loss of many friends while working for the task force.
