Verses
Alternate Versions:
► Outside of the Deck: Any rp done outside of the Cards Universe or any alternates thereof will automatically default to his two-year mission of infiltrating the Italian and Russian mafia. His persona is backstopped at the highest level and his cover is deep and absolute. A professional assassin, Ethan was trained by the best in the world and will do whatever, whatever necessary to accomplish his objective. A master of bladed weapons, he prefers subterfuge and stealth to brute force, but won't hesitate to use it should such become necessary. A chameleon, he blends in almost seamlessly with his surroundings, the perfect operative for missions carried out in the shadows.
► Young!Ethan: In this alternate timeline, Ethan is 11 years old, a ward of the new King of Spades. He's broody, angry at everything and a very sullen child. Although unfailingly polite - manners were drilled into he and his classmates by hand - he holds no respect for anyone but the new King, for very good reasons. Even at this tender young age, Ethan's proficiency with bladed weapons is extraordinary, thanks to hours and hours of mandatory training. He and his classmates (mostly npc's) are under the tutelage of an old weaponsmaster/teacher by the name of Proctor (no one knows much about this particular individual save for he's been around the Spade suit for dozens of years and has trained several generations of spies/assassins), who drives the kids with an iron fist but makes sure they learn their lessons by whatever means necessary. Ethan has very little contact with anyone outside his class and Suit, his time is devoted to training, practice, drills and studying. (Character journal is notyetaspade.)
► Grimm!Future Verse: Ten years into the future and the Deck has collapsed into warring Suits, with the Spades still at the top of the proverbial food chain. Ethan is the Ace of Spades, appointed to the position after Julien's demise. He's held the coveted pinnacle through countless skirmishes, is still fiercely loyal to his King, Queen and Suit in its entirety, and takes his responsibilities far more seriously than his privileges. A dangerous perfectionist, he takes pride in honing every Spade within his suit to the utmost of their abilities, accepting no less than all each Card can give.
► Lord of the Cards AU: In this setting, Ethan is a centuries-old vampire, cursed by the White Witch Lauraline, whom he and King David helped defeat. The witche's curse stripped him of the supernatural abilities to bespell mortals, to regenerate if wounded, and the preternatural strength and speed which other vampires possess. She left him with the bloodlust however, and did grant him the ability to walk in the sunlight, but at the cost of splitting headaches after only short exposure.
