Mr. Kite

Step right up! Try your luck! It's a game of skill, you versus me, one on one, are you man or woman enough? Just put your money on the table, son, lay it down. Sure, a dollar's fine to start with. It's just a game of the eye. Can you watch the lady as she moves from side to side? Find the lady, double your money, find the guys, your money's mine. Watch the cards carefully, watch them blur. A slight of hand. A trick or two. You think you know where the lady in red is? Come on, a guy like you, you know where it is. Just point her out! Good eye! Care to go again? Come on, it was so easy last time, wasn't it? So what, a dollar lost, or 4 gained! You've seen how easy it is! Good man! Good man! Watch the cards again, little trickier this time isn't it? Can you keep your eyes on the lady? Alright, which is it? Oh, you found the jack, too bad! So, want to give her another go?

They say a sucker is born every minute. I believe it. I find the citizens of Khazan are by and large suckers. I've been known to draw several thousand on a good day. It's a good job, I give people a little thrill, and they lose a buck or two that they should have known they'd lose in the first place.

The Blur

     Super Speed: Supreme

 

Watch the cards dance before your eyes. My hands become nothing more than after-imges in your eye. The lady dances, the cads move above, below, left, right. It's all part of the game. Part of the skill. I rarely go all out on my customers. It'd be bad for business if someone didn't win now and then. If they didn't think they had a chance. There's a difference between a fool and an idiot, after all.

 

Where the chips may fall

     Slicing Attack: Superior

  • Ranged Attack Only
  • Ranged and Melee Attack
  • Weakness: Power in Item - Easy to Lose
  • Weakness: Limited Uses - Multi-Use

 

Don't think I don't come prepared. See these chips in my hand? Oh, if you train hard enough in life, anything can become a weapon, and these hands are deadly. A flick of the wrist is all I need. A simple toss. I've been told before that I should get a gun to stop those who want my winnings. I don't believe in that sort of a weapon, no, I need something I can feel.

 

The Draw

     Mind Control: Superior

 

Oh, so you don't think the game has a certain draw to it? Oh, but it does. You can't help but think that it's a simple game. Watch the cards. But there's tricks, and you're hooked. I'll let you win a few, let you think you know what you're doing, then before you know it your hard-earned money is in my skilled hands. And you'll keep coming back, wanting another win. It's an innocent game I tell you, a few bucks here and there. Didn't your mother tell you gambling is addictive?

 

Enhanced Draw

     Bio Vampire: Standard

  • Ranged Attack Only
  • Weakness: Limited Uses - Multi-Use

 

Keep playing the game, that's just what I want. The longer you play, the more money I get. The more you lose the worse you feel, and the happier I am. The more you lose, the deeper you go into the game. I can only become better as you become desperate to find that lady. The harder you try the faster I'll move those cards, and you'll be hooked. I'll have your money in eight games, easy, then I'll send you on your way with the rest of them.

 

You Won't Catch Me!

     Danger Sense: Standard

 

This game? Illegal? Look, lady, if this were illegal, don't you think I'd be locked up by now? Oh, how am I supposed to know when the cops are coming? It's not as if I have some sort of sense in the back of my mind telling me that they're coming... So, come on, ante up, it's time for another round. How does double or nothing sound to your ears?

 

It's Real Alright

     Illusion Creation: Superior

 

If you watch my hands long enough, it's almost as if, why, you can see something in my hands! Oh, it may be a flower. It may be some apocolyptic creature that sends a shiver down your spine. What, you saw something? Well, that's nice, but you're supposed to be watching for the lady. You don't know which is her? You missed her when you saw that mystical creature fly by followed by with th 20 foot wing-span and an ivory wake? Say, that's a shame. Looks like I win again.
