## Overview

A Poker club Marius formed when he was 29, that he later invited Gatlin to in 2006 (Gat age 21), after meeting him as a server at a restaurant.

While it started out as a relatively normal club, within a year, Marius and the gang decided to spice things up by allowing people to cheat—so long as they weren't caught—therefore making there be a game within the game of figuring out what others might be doing.

From there, it evolved further, by 2005, having a 'themed' night at the end of each month, be it adding new rules, different cards, dress-up, a different location, special food, etc.

Gatlin joins in 2006, initially rather reserved, but by 2007, he had practically become a secondary club head. They start hosting almost exclusively 'special' games, to the point that a 'normal Poker night' in itself was a 'theme' to be held, usually only twice a year, and even then, Marius and Gatlin almost always tended to 'sneakily' alter the games anyway as a joke, even if it's just themselves partaking (like dressing up in matching cosplay, claiming it was just 'coincidence' they both did it that night).

Overall, their group is tight-knit and chaotic. While a few of the members roll their eyes and complain about their wackier members, at the end of the day, everyone loves everyone else and enjoy their games together.

## Boring History

* **2002:** Founded by Marius (29)
	+ Moxxi (27) and Unnamed Man (42) are members.
	+ Unnamed Woman (21) joins months after it forms, after seeing it advertised.
* **2003:** Cheating becomes allowed.
* **2005:** Rolf (29) begrudgingly joins.
* **2006:** Gatlin (21) joins on recommendation by Marius
* **2007:** Gat becomes unofficial co-owner, helping run the club. Themed nights become a norm.
* **2017:** Liv (20) joins.

## Relationships

* **Marius Asclepius (50)**: Owner of the club. Loves a good competition and has a very good poker face, along with a pretty good eye for others'.
* **Gatlin Clingman (37)**: Co-Owner in spirit, even if it was never made official. Him and Marius spend hours planning things outside of club hours, and whenever Marius can't make it, Gat takes over.
* **Moxxi Vakoiz (48)**: A laid back, lazy Chemistry Professor who has a gambling problem. Students like him because he's super lax, but he does know his stuff.
* **Rolf Deimar (47)**: Marius' grumpy husband and minor Green Party (*Die Grünen*) politician.
* **Liv Rotschild (26)**: Big gambler. Carefree and fun, but a bit of an accidentally insensitive bully, not being a good judge on what's 'too mean.' Less skilled at deception than the others, yet the biggest wildcard.
* **Unnamed Man (63)**: Old man who lives in Gatlin's apartment complex. Just a bit senile. Bearded.
* **Unnamed Woman (42)**: Classy business owner.

## Trivia

* Whenever Marius or Gatlin can't make a game, the other will always tell everyone else a story about why they can't make it.
	+ Normally it's about their tragic death, which is always either over-the-top or absolutely pathetic.
		- They tend to hold a vigil for the other, and will make constant references to their death mid-game, sometimes 'guilt-tripping' the others about how "they still want to play, despite the horrible news; how cruel."
	+ Other times, it's something embarrassing/silly, like needing butt surgery, stuck being constipated on the toilet, or the FBI is after them for smuggling too many cashews across the border.
* It's a pun of 'Luftwaffe.' I'm so smart.
