[hider=B.P.] Name: Jerry Mordock Goes by the alias: B.P./Big Play/ or just Biggs Age: 30 Sex, Gender and Sexuality: (Male, Currently Unknown (he teases quite frequently, though he appears heterosexual) Occupation: Professional Gambler Brief History: Born into an astute religious home, Jerry Mordock was banned from the use of any cards. However, upon turning 10 he was given a gift from his uncle. A single card, an Ace of Diamonds. This created a fascination in the young boy and he swore to himself that one day he would learn all he could about the cards. Until recently he worked at the Joker's Lot Casino and has been favored as an eccentric entertainer outside of his near devilish skills with the decks and with gambling itself. Also, due to wanting to keep his head down and staying on good relations with his family Jerry now goes by his stage name: Big Play. Abilities/Skills: - The Card Detective Nobody can read another person like Biggs, it's what he does as a gambler. He is the king of personalities and can usually figure out what another person is thinking simply by their body language (to a reasonable degree, of course). - The Stone Face of the Joker's Lot At the same time few can bluff the way B.P. can. Some say that he can contort his face into just the expression needed for his enemy to make a play in B.P.'s favor. A true master of the bluff. Appearance: He is a tall thin man standing around 6'1". His hair slicks back and sticks out in odd ways and he remains clean shaven. He walks like a dancer onto a stage, but as if that dancer is also a waiter going to their table. It feels like the man is, at the same time, eccentric and astute. His eyes are a sharp green which seem to pierce outward, especially when compared to his very dark brown hair. His arms are slightly longer than most people's giving him the look of some crazy walking scarecrow. With a sharp jaw and a weathered face, B.P. Seems to appear young and spry sometimes, and other times old and weathered (he himself knows this and takes advantage of it whenever possible). His skin is certainly pale, but not disgustingly so. Current Clothing: A dirty white waste coat with a dark grey blazer, engraved upon the blazer's lapel is a laughing mask holding up several cards. Still indeed a man who works for the Joker's Lot. The inside of the Blazer is a series of pockets wear he keeps his decks and other useful items. Standing out in disgusting contrast, the man wears a pair of sickeningly yellow GTH pants. Underneath his waistcoat is clean white button down and a black tie. His shoes are a couple of winged dress shoes that were indeed an expensive grab. The only other part of his attire that stands out is a pair of extremely dark shades. Which he wears when people began asking for his opinions. Current Possessions: Several decks of cards, some still in their package. Several Cigars, if indeed they survived. A very expensive walking cane, which the gambler does not need at all. A single book which seems to have its cover ripped off and replaced with a blank leather backing. It's contents known only to the gambler. A single ace of diamonds, given to him by his uncle and kept very safe... Reason for being on the ship: The Gambler was just offered a new job and leaving his old place at the Joker's Lot. The reason for his clothing is that he had been wearing the same uniform for years and wasn't sure what else to wear until he got to his new job... Other: Though he is eccentric, he is not annoyingly so, and does lean heavily on his astute attitude. But, due to reasons with his family, he will not discuss his personal life with anybody. The Joker's Lot on the other hand...
