Strengths:
✧ He can memorize decently. They have difficulty getting complex information to stick at first (such as math equations and formulas), but he retains it quite well. It comes in handy during college finals.
✧ He has an unbreakable sense of showmanship. Their confidence on stage is so strong it almost seems like he has any semblance of self-esteem! (They don’t. They really, really don’t)
Abilities:
Jack has a neat little ability called Master of none
This ‘ability’ allows him to perform any kind of magic trick, with the unfortunate catch that… they can never predict its effects!
This ability is very, very easily influenced by Jack's emotional and mental state. Currently it is highly erratic and the outcomes are more likely to be negative, harmful or useless.
Examples include:
♠ Trying to pull a rabbit from a hat, and pulling out a rabid skunk instead.
♠ Sawing someone in half and having the other half magically run off stage.
♠ Telling someone to pick a playing card, but then taking out a yugi-oh card that wasn't in the deck.
♠ Doing the linking rings trick and somehow getting your hand stuck in there.
♠ Performing a levitation illusion and then flying off into the sky.
(He can only perform things that could be seen as stage magic tricks, such as: illusions, making things appear or disappear, changing things into other things, etc.)
Weaknesses:
✧ They have severe anemia. This makes them feel exhausted most of the time, lightheaded when they stand up, causes chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath, and a strange desire to eat very non-edible things.
✧ They have a horrible posture caused by nearly three years of studying engineering! This gives them back pain, poor balance, and even worse breathing difficulties. And they appear a few inches shorter than they actually are.
✧ They are very prone to manic episodes. While this causes them to feel energetic, and full of great new ideas and plans, they become more irritable, and more likely to engage in risk-taking behavior and catastrophic decisions that harm no one but himself.
Personality:
"Ace of Spades" initially presents himself as an edgy, dramatic magician. He is very serious about his magic tricks, and takes no nonsense from anyone. He knows his worth, and he knows he's better than everyone else.
Underneath this mildly unlikeable persona, Jack is an overall amicable yet awkward guy. They have a low self-esteem and an equally low sense of self. He's a disorganized mess, a doormat desperate for a kindling of validation.

History:
Jack was just your average, overly stressed engineering student. He did magic tricks as a side gig, originally going by the stage name "Jack of all trades".
During one of his college semesters, his mom passed away; He never had a particularly good relationship with her, but her death affected him very deeply. He moved back to his dad's house, and tried to keep his side gig going until his magic became too erratic to physically do so.
They heard there's a grove with a flower that can bring a single soul from the dead, so they picked up a new magician persona ("Ace of Spades") and ventured out to find it.
Likes:
✧ Math (Outside of his classes. It's like a fun puzzle to him!)
✧ Magic shows
✧ Theatre (in general)
Dislikes:
✧ Poker (he doesn't know how to play)
✧ The inescapable dread of college finals
✧ Having his mask taken off (he's VERY self-conscious about his appearance)
Other:
✧ They have undiagnosed dyscalculia. They don't know this.
✧ Their current mask was made by themselves. It's made of cheap plastic, and the spade was hand-painted.
