Personality Deck

A quick and dirty way of generating personality. Draw cards from a deck of cards and read the result in the table below. Two cards is a good place to start. The suit of each card determines the focus of that personality trait as listed in the headers. The value of the card indicates quality, with low cards being negative traits and high cards positive values. The ace is considered the lowest card and indicates a subversion of the value. The clothed cards represent the highest values and are so remarkable they are easy to notice.
