"THE JOKER IS WATCHING." .

❝ BETRAY THE DEVIL, AND FEAR HER WRATH. ❞
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

the joker would say it was not she who led to the city's corruption, but she had simply nur-

tured the undercurrent that was always there.

she watches carefully, selecting the "worthy" - those she knows won't refuse her invitation.

when they have hit rock-bottom, she is the black angel who swoops in to offer them a choice

when it feels like they have none: will you accept the detour, or continue on your pitiful

path? and feel free to request a favour - only for you, darling. there is nothing solitaire

can't do for you. simply pledge a lifetime of loyalty to her, and she will give you what you

need.

several secret entryways around the city leads to solitaire's extensive underground base,

giving way only after an automated scan of the eyes and TRACKER. every member is supplied

with free food and water, and may choose to room at the base or live "out there". addition-

ally, you'll have easy access to any other material goods that you may wish for so long as

they do not JEOPARDISE the syndicate. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU DESIRE? SOLITAIRE PROVIDES

A HOME, A FAMILY, A SENSE OF PURPOSE. MORALITY IS BUT A SMALL PRICE TO PAY, BEING BUT A HUMAN

CONSTRUCT DESIGNED TO TAME THE HERD.

the organisation is divided into suits of different expertises that altogether contribute to

achieving their one true goal: satisfying the many clients who seek their services. SO IT GOES;

these CORRUPTED CITIZENS roam the night behind masks, taking CASH in exchange FOR CORPSES &

INFORMATION & MANIPULATION & SILENCE. THOUGH, CASH TO THE JOKER IS NOTHING - THIS IS ALL FOR

FUN! (DO YOU DISAPPROVE? DON'T BE SO SELF-RIGHTEOUS.)

AND WITH TRACKERS PLANTED IN ALL MEMBERS OF HER "FAMILY", DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM THE CITY

OF FIRE OR BETRAY HER - LEST YOU WANTED TO BE HUNTED AND BRUTALLY MURDERED. A PROMISE IS A

PROMISE AFTER ALL, MY DEAR.

THOUGH they rarely make their way out on the field, the brains of these mad scientists are not to be underestimated. Remember the man who writhed to his death after consuming that strange, venomous substance? The Hearts made it. Remember the woman who was blown to bits after a bomb had been mysteriously planted in her body? The Hearts did it. Every single form of weaponry used by Solitaire are made by the Suit of Hearts. It'd be best not to mess with them unless you intend on being their human guinea pig.

THERE is only one reason as to why the Joker has been able to keep her family under such a strong guise for so long ... and that is solely due to work of the Diamonds. They are in charge of the maintenace of the security network protecting the Mafia's base, the financial dealings and confidental meetings that are inevitably held with the Joker's clients, the tracing of the safest mission routes for the Clubs to take, the bodyguarding of the Hearts when they plant their weapons of mass destruction, the hiding of bodies as the Spades finish their jobs ... simply put: without them, Solitaire would be nothing.

THE planners, the strategisers, and the greatest extractors of all things you once considered safe and secure - the Clubs of Solitaire excel in the art of hacking, theft, infiltration, spywork and whatever else it may take to gather the information they desire. These con artists are nothing if not the fastest and most cunning of the Suits, and work closely alongside the Diamonds as the info-bank duo of Solitaire.

SEARCHING for the masked figure behind the trigger? Or the one-man assassin who slaughtered all those men with nothing but a pocket knife? You'll most likely find tem amongst the Spades, a.k.a the Suit in charge of the most brutal of tasks handled by Solitaire. Murder? Arson? Torture? They've done it all.
