Cipher Academy, DeuceThere's no "open universe"(?) on Artfol without me joining, lemme tell ya -
So when I saw the Cipher Academy, I HAD to make a new character!
My first thought was to make a healer with a fatal drawback but there already is a healing person so I had to go with my second option:
GAMBLING :D
So meet Deuce, his superpower is absolute gambling! And you may wonder "but Ricky... how the hell is gambling a superpower?". And fear not, child, I shall explain:
Deuce can't just gamble for money (or the thrill of it). He can literally gamble for anything. Money, Love, Time, a portion of French fries, ANYTHING!
However, I use the term "gambling" for anything luck-based so even throwing a coin counts as that already. So here's a brief example: Deuce finds himself in battle but OH NO, there's no weapon for him! :0
So he'll say out a bet ("if the coin lands with heads facing up, I'll get a weapon"). He flips a coin. It shows heads. BAM! A weapon gets summoned out of nowhere!
What are the downsides? ....He can't influence what happens if he looses. Like....anything could happen. In the example, if the coin wouldn't have shown heads, he might freeze for a minute or something giving him a clear disadvantage!
...however, the higher his bet, the higher the risk of fatal consequences
This doesn't apply when he is gambling with another person. When he's playing poker with others for example, his opponents get to choose his faith and he HAS to obey!
Besides that, Deuce is quite the nice guy. A hothead, probably will take any bet, can often be found vibing to loud Electro Swing music, has a secret passion for swing dancing <3
Would go back to the roaring 20s if he could :'D
(Btw, I drew the school uniform badly because I just wanted to get things done at this point. There will be a better drawing soon, hopefully.
The other drawing was just meant to get his design on a piece of paper but I kinda went overboard-
And yes, he occasionally uses a yellow tie as a headband because it suits his eyes :'D
He does be fancy like that)
EDIT:
I struggled a bit deciding for an age but I think Deuce is around 17 years old and in his 6th year <3

FORGET HEALER!! THIS IS PROBABLY THE COOLEST ABILITY EVER WHA-!?!???!? 






























I love love LOVE(!!) new, creative abilities and this is no doubt one of the coolest yet!! I've seen people talking about "probablity manipulation" but a power based on gambling takes that to a whole new level + you even included such an awesome drawback as "of it doesn't go well for him, it might go awful" which is a perfect balance to such a powerful ability!! 










I honestly love everything about Deuce, from his power to his looks and his likes!!?! Electro Swing is something I haven't listened to in a while so now I really wanna go listen to some of my faves sjdhdj Deuce is freaking amazing and we'll love to have him in Cipher! WELCOME TO CIPHER ACADEMY!!
