## History

Jack Cohen once worked at the Bridgehand Casino in Las Vegas, where he used his extraordinary luck under the nickname "Blackjack" which is based on his tendency to wear black clothing. His lucky streak ended when the place he worked at was destroyed by an Undead. After being rescued by a Kamen Rider named Pitoch who sealed the Undead, Jack learned from Pitoch the history of the Lost Undead. Obtaining the Deck Rider System, Jack rescued his new ally's friend Charles as Kamen Rider Deck and vowed to seal away all of the Lost Undead.

## Personality

Jack Cohen is gifted with extraordinary luck. While some of the dealers at Bridgehand rig their games, Jack is so lucky that he has no such need. Despite that, he doesn't let his fortune get to him. Instead, he uses his wealth to try and help other people when he can.

## Forms

### Deck

*"Turn Up!"*

First Foe: Pomeranian Undead (Ace of Roses)

**Ace Form** is the default form of Kamen Rider Deck assumed by using the Deck Buckle and Change Dalmation Rouse Card. The transformation fuses the user with the DNA of the Dalmation Undead. This form has no capabilities or attributes that distinguish it from the other Riders in Ace Form other than its physical-based fighting style and abilities granted by the Acorns Suit Rouse Cards.

### **Jack Form**

*"Absorb Queen! Fusion Jack!"*

First Foe: Gecko Undead (Queen of Shields)

**Jack Form** is Deck's Super Form, accessed by harnessing the Absorb Hamster Rouse Card in the Rouse Absorber and scanning the Fusion Pheasant Rouse Card. This form increases the Rider Armor with the DNA of the Pheasant Undead, which grants ruby-colored armor for enhanced defense and a pair of wings to allow for flight. While in this form, the Deck Rouzer upgrades into its **Empowered Type**, which increases its length and grants a higher AP cache.

### **King Form**

*"Absorb Queen! Evolution King!"*

**King Form** is Deck's Final Form, accessed by harnessing the Absorb Hamster Rouse Card in the Rouse Absorber and scanning the Evolution Hellhound Rouse Card. This form has the ability to instantly access the powers of any Acorn Suit Rouse Card without needing to scan them.

In this form, Deck obtains a powerful new weapon called the **Grand Rouzer**. The Grand Rouzer has no storage for Rouse Cards, but Deck can summon his Rouse Cards into his hand for Rouse Combos. He can still use the Deck Rouzer in this form, allowing him to duel-wield.

## Rouze Suit: Acorns

As a user of the Deck Rider System, Jack utilizes the power of Lost Undead of the Acorns Suit. In real life, the Suit of Acorns is present in German and Swiss decks and is a counterpart to the Suit of Clubs.

* **Slam Sheep** (2 of Acorns, Increases the power of the Deck Rouzer's strikes)

* **Absorb Hamster** (Queen of Acorns, Used in the Rouse Absorber to access powered-up forms)
* **Evolution Hellhound** (King of Acorns, Allows Deck to transform into King Form)

By scanning specific Rouse Cards in the Deck Rouser in a particular order, Deck can perform special attacks called **Rouse Combos**.

This Rouse Combo allows Deck to strike his opponent with the Deck Rouser while it is empowered by the element of water.

## Etymology

Jack is an English given name with many possible origins. One possibility is that the name is derived from the name John, which itself means "God is gracious". Another theory is the name being based on a Celtic word meaning "healthy, strong". The name is used in general to refer to any male person. *As with the other Riders in Deck, Jack's entire name is a reference to playing card terminology (the jack is a specific type of playing card).*

Cohen is a Jewish surname with biblical origins which means "priest" in Hebrew. *Jack's surname is also a reference to Lewis Cohen, a major playing card manufacturer who lived in the 19th century.*

Jack's nickname, Blackjack, is the name of a famous card game played in casinos. It is also the name of a bludgeon used during the 19th century.

The White Pentagain is named after the pentagram (tying into Blade's Rider Machines being named after geometric shapes) and "gain" (in the context of gaining speed or acceleration on a motorcycle).

## Trivia

* Jack's Kamen Rider alias is a reference to the deck, the standardized set of 52 specific playing cards used in modern day. The name is also a reference to "decking" someone, a reference to Jack's usage of the hammer as his primary weapon.
