Macelyn Grace is a runaway turned pickpocket turned card player extraordinaire. Unfortunately, extraordinary this sixteen-year-old is anything but. This little vagrant scamp has weasled her way from city to city, village to village, seeking a living on trying her best to swindle people out of money in popular regional card games. At first glance, Macelyn may seem a bit one-dimensiomal, but add to the fact that she has been in ol' gaol slidehand - essentially picking pockets with some occasional bully ruffing - and that she has the terrible bad luck to keep running into all of the people she has either cheated or beaten and her chosen life becomes far from drab. Author's Note: I currently have some beef with a side of mashed potatoes where interest check threads are concerned right now. That being said, just apply to join this thread and I'll either pick the person I feel is best suited or - if I get more than one applicant I really like - random.org might play a pivotal role in my decision-making process. Also, I wholeheartedly agree that my charrie needs to be fleshed out story-wise and am open to suggestions. This was one of those light bulb ideas as I realized I've never actually RPed a gambler of any kind before. I need a brainstorm on how to keep the two main PCs linked. Am wondering if they end up town hopping because of a fiendish army, an NPC army, some sort of natural disaster or predatory invasion, et cetera. Either that or they are both located in one sprawling metropolis with many different taverns. PM me your ideas.

Makes it easier for card players to use sleight-of-hand(s) ^.- [*]Someone willing to play likely another gambler with a WIP story similar to Macie's [*]Someone who either wants to RP (text only preferred) a version of an existing card game (I nominate gwent, but other suggestions are welcome) OR someone who wants to create a card game from nothing but his/her/it or our imagination(s). [*]Someone willing and able to post just about 1-2 times per week. 'Tis listed as casual more for that reason than anything else.
