Lost again, Ace?
'nuther newbie inbound! Hi everyone, I'm Phoenix, lured this way by the gal with the werewolf and the cat (i.e. Gail).
I'm bringing in Ace from the Kuni no Alice/Alice in the Country series. Short version: he's really goofy and nice until you hit the part where he's crazy.
The currently more relevant part to you guys: he's now Horace Knight, 33-year-old assistant manager of his brother's sporting goods store, Knight's Outdoors. There's a divorced wife in the woodworks somewhere and his favorite thing in the world is his six-year-old son. He's a very happy, stable individual, and I can't wait for the game to screw that all up and make him crazy again~
His nuclear family are already named NPCs, but if anyone would like to know him from being a customer at the store (think of it as a small family-run version of Dick's Sporting Goods) I'd love to hash out some pre-Echoes CR. Happy to be here!

I'm Airdra! I've got three characters here: Mort Yokugawa, Kamen Rider OOO's Dr. Maki who is now a psychiatrist instead of an evil scientist; Arthur Curry, who is now a school bus driver instead of Aquaman; and Hajime Aikawa here, who is now heavily involved in running his family's Japanese restaurant when he was once a terrible bug-monster and Kamen Rider. Hajime's canon's pretty heavy on the card theming, and in addition to being the Joker, he also used the suit of Hearts to do his fighting with. He is stuck as a terrible bug-monster at the moment thanks to Echoes hating him, but he'll be getting weird playing cards back to counteract that.
At any rate, it is nice to meet you, and I hope you enjoy the game!

In Ace's case, he essentially is a face-card, but he's also the embodiment of an hour (which is never specified but I like to imagine the one o'clock duration). He's called a role-holder, whereas an actual person called a card is literally faceless. The series creator(s) rolled up Wonderland and cards and time metaphors into a crazy little bundle. It's great.
Ace also used to work for the Jokers of his world, so between that and Hajime's heart suit, I'm amused by the surface-level similarities in theme!
Thanks for the welcome!

Oh, man, your canon sounds pretty cool, hehe. Mine is basically The Highest Stakes Game of Old Maid Ever, pretty much, and Hajime's role as the Joker is to end all life on Earth whether he likes it or not, oops. If they ever had occasion to talk about Jokers, I'm sure that would be an entertaining discussion. XD
