IC:
Name: Peter Eugene Kirkland
Age: 13
Personality:
Peter, to be frank, is a very rambunctious and obnoxious little brat. Selfish, loud, sometimes stupid; it’s difficult to place any sort of good quality on the child when it seems as if he makes every effort to appear as unlikable as possible. Being an only child he was very much smothered with affection and spoiled utterly rotten, in a stark contrast to his well-behaved older cousin, Arthur.
He’s very thick-headed and stubborn. He doesn’t like to give up and he will persistently attack a target until he gets what he wants. When he feels rejected his first response is usually to insult whomever he’s talking to. He’s a loud-talker and has no idea what an “inside voice" is. All of this, coupled with this massively overcharged ego and unmatched self-confidence means Peter is a (annoying) force to be reckoned with.
But he does, in fact, have good points.
As much as Peter complains about his family, he really does look up to most of his cousins. A lot of his actions are driven by an insatiable need to impress and emulate the lot of them, especially Arthur. When they don’t pay attention to him, he gets angry and tries even harder to impress them. If they yell at him, he’ll grudgingly leave to rethink his plan of attack, only to return later and try again.
Peter is not emotionless, obviously. It genuinely hurts him when he feels as if no one likes him… which is often due to the fact his very actions to demand attention are the ones that annoy people to most. Peter seems to be caught in a bit of a vicious cycle in which he feels as if he deserves something, but does things that cause the opposite.
He has fun with what he does, but the end result makes him question whether or not it was worth it.
In an attempt to rectify his issues, he’s taken on the role of detective and started his own miniature agency that he runs himself. Unfortunately, he’s also the only detective involved, and he usually forces himself into cases no one actually gives him. Anything he legitimately solves is a source of pride and he’ll brag about it to his cousin.
Three Choices For Positions:
(A) Joker (Preference)
(B) Four of (any)
(C) Two of (any)
EXPLAIN Your Three Choices:
(A) Joker
Peter as the Joker is both canon and, I believe, very fitting. The Jokers are discarded. They are unwanted, and they are unused. Peter himself is struggling to find a place in the world and the earn the recognition and respect of the world around him. He essentially has no place in canon because he is an unrecognized "micronation," and in Cardverse he is an unrecognized card with no real suit, who most people don't want to have around and who most people ignore. Putting Peter into this position of power gives his prankish and obnoxious nature a chance to shine in a role where his inner conflict has a chance to bubble and brew. Jokers are meant to be miserable and damn, he will be miserable.
Peter's position as Joker was given to him when Lady Luck appeared offering him a wish in exchange for his servitude. Peter had grown tired of his life and wished desperately for the rest of his family to consider him an important asset, but he was always overshadowed by siblings more talented than he. With Lady Luck giving him the position of Joker, most of his wish was already filled, but at the cost of his home and suit.
(B) Four of Any
Where Kirklands Congregate. Peter as a squire to a knight is absolutely adorable. I want him to follow someone around and look up to them like an idol, just as I always imagine he looks up to Arthur. He'll have cute baggy clothes and carry around swords and armor AND HE'LL NEVER COMPLAIN because one day he'll be a badass knight and have someone of his own to boss around.
(C) Two of Any
Where Kirklands Congregate. He's a kid so really there aren't many jobs he can do. He'd be a two and then work his way up. Probably be a little stablehand or something.
