King of Spades / Spades

The child is the only one in front of whom he is not afraid to show emotions; with the child he allows himself to breathe out.

Phobia: Peak is afraid of elevators. Imagine the Emperor in samurai armor, stony-faced, walking up the stairs to the 15th floor, holding a five-year-old child's hand to keep him from entering "that iron cage." The parenting paradox: He wants to raise his child to be free (something he himself was deprived of), but his method is total control. This is the conflict: "I'll give you the whole world, but you will only walk on the paths I show you." Silence instead of shouting: He's mostly silent. He won't lecture a five-year-old. One look, and the child understands what's more important: obedience or freedom. He educates not with words, but with presence. "Absolute Evil" as Protection: His predisposition to evil is transformed. He won't become evil toward the child. But he is ready to commit any act of cruelty, even the most drastic, to protect him. To his enemies, he is absolute evil. To his son/daughter, he is absolute protection. · Hidden Tactility: Pik is physically strong, but rarely displays it. The same goes for affection. He won't cuddle or kiss. But when the child falls asleep, Pik might adjust the blanket or place a heavy hand on the little head—his version of a hug. Honor and Pride: He is a "man of honor and his own moral compass." He will teach the child the cardinal rule of the Peak Empire: "Never beg for mercy. Never show weakness. Pity is useless." Address: The child calls him "Emperor" or "Peak." "Papa" is too weak, too emotional a word from the worm world. Peak is status, it's armor. Discipline: The Child is the only one who can see Peak without the mask of fatigue. But he is also the only one who knows what it means to "awaken the dragon." Disobedience is punished with "icy silence"—the worst torture for a small creature craving attention. Heir: In canon, the Jack of Spades symbolizes a "child" or "beginning." For Spade, his son/daughter is not just a child; he is the Jack, the future successor to his legacy. From the age of 5, he will begin teaching him the basic principles of strategy and magic (Spade is one of the magical clones, using a key).

Leader and Strategist: Peak is the recognized leader of the other clones. He is calm, level-headed, and mysterious, which allows him to lead the others. Manipulator: Despite his taciturnity and reticence (he was, for example, the only one who remained silent when receiving the Probability Generators), Peak possesses exceptional oratorical talent and is capable of deceiving anyone. He masterfully manipulated his creator, Fyodor, to escape into the real world. Secrecy: No one ever knows what's on his mind. He is a "man of honor and his own moral principles," which may not align with generally accepted ones, but he remains true to them. Primary Motivation - Freedom: Unlike other clones who became obsessed with building kingdoms in the Card World, Pieck never lost sight of his primary goal. His primary desire is to escape his long imprisonment. He views pity as weakness and will never accept it, preferring to act independently.

Hairstyle: Pika has purple, messy hair. Its shape resembles cat ears or devil horns, giving him a wild and menacing appearance. Eyes: The most memorable detail. When relaxed, Pika has black eyes (no irises) with yellow whites. When angry or aggressive, his pupils turn red and elongate into narrow, cat-like slits. · Eyebrows: Extremely thick, heavy eyebrows that always seem to "creep" over the eyes, creating an impression of perpetual sternness and hidden menace. Clothing/Armor: In the Card World (in the "Land of Kings" storyline), Pieck wears dark purple armor reminiscent of Japanese samurai. His armor is adorned with the symbols of the suit of spades, as well as the number "8"—his number among the clones. · Physical strength: He is physically strong, although he rarely shows it, preferring to solve problems in other ways.
