Card Shark
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Card Shark is Jessica Flatley's fullbring.
Jessica is a gambler, so her soul ended up manifesting as, a deck of cards, go figure. It is a 54 card deck with both a black and red joker and glows an eerie dark red whenever she draws a poker card. However, on top of all of this, very specific cards talk and do bonus things, mainly the Jack of Hearts, Red Joker, and Black Joker. The Jack of Hearts calls himself Destino Contorto,the Jack of Spades calls himself Primo Premio the Black Joker calls herself Signorina Ventura and the Red Joker calls herself Gentildonna Sorte.

Fullbring Abilities
Stacked Deck
Jessica's cards can be tossed towards an opponent via infusing her soul into the toss, it works much like a very weak Quincy bow and arrow, just every 5th card the deck becomes stacked, tossing a single card that acts as a multiplication of power based upon the card drawn. From (2-15) 2-Red Joker.
The Special Cards
Jack of Hearts – Destino Contoro “Twisted Fate”
If Jessica's hand involves the talkative and very womanizing Jack of Hearts, her luck aura will activate based on the poker hand she drew, or if she threw him at an enemy. He will never attack a woman and if Jessica tosses him at one or casts a spell on one, he will force whatever spell and hand she drew, back to her soul.
Jack of Spades – Primo Premio “Jack Pot”
Jessica will randomly generate a Rube Goldberg Machine when she draws the Jack of Spades. IE something will lead to something out of pure coincidence. It will have no actual affect in combat, but random side distractions may occur for Jessica and whoever she is fighting. He is quiet and doesn't talk to Jessica at all.
Red Joker – Gentildonna Sorte “Lady Luck”
Lady Luck is a gently drawn red clown looking woman who always seems way too happy. Jessica will have massive good luck when she casts a spell or tosses the Red Joker. Bullets will mysteriously seem to avoid her, the building will collapse around her, just good luck. It will also force whoever touches it against Jessica to have bad luck on a very minor level. IE, their communicator to soul society doesn't work for a half minute. Their shoelace comes untied, minor inconveniences.
Black Joker – Signorina Ventura “Miss Fortune”
When Jessica draws the black joker, as the stuck up annoying woman on the card dressed like a bad clown in black says. “Sucks to be you”. Jessica's luck will fall horribly, every piece of rubble created by the fight will hit her, she will trip over something stupid, a she will just get a string of unhelpful events, while her opponent, will get nothing but good ones.
Strengths
Luck of the Draw- Depending on her luck, Jessica can be rather destructive or rather ineffective.
Weaknesses
Luck of the Draw – Jessica can have a string of bad luck and send herself to her grave. It works both ways.
Short Ranged Combat – Jessica has no armor or melee weapon besides a wimpy card charged with reatsu. Punch her in the face and there's not much she can do.
