(Yes, yes, hello, hello! If anything, this is from the author himself. 13 CARDS IS NOT A CHARACTER! IT'S JUST A NAME!)
A typical day begins with Fyodor leaving for work, and the clock shows 8:30. Everyone is still asleep, each in their own little corner. Also, Fyodor recently had contact with the Joker, and Fyodor is thinking about adding him and releasing him into this—the real world—and adding his card to his deck. So, when Fyodor left, he left a note on the table that read:
"Hello, dear clones. Or rather, good morning. I need your opinion—should we add another clone here? The Joker, that is. I know he's like an enemy to you, but I spoke with him recently, and we actually had a good chat. I think he'll be a bit of a surprise to you at first, but trust me, it's worth it!) From your creator. "
(You can be anyone!!)
Joker
The Joker represents the red joker in a deck of cards and is the thirteenth clone. He has flesh-colored skin, curly shoulder-length green hair, dark green eyebrows, dark blue eyes with a blue cat-like pupil, a mole on his right cheek, and fangs. He wears a jester's outfit: a two-tone jacket, pointed boots, a skirt, and a cap with bells. His color scheme primarily includes light blue, light green, and blue. Initially, he looks like this: a black shell, curly shoulder-length hair, and aquamarine eyes and mouth. He wears a two-tone jacket, pointed boots, shorts, a cap, and a cape.
Character:
The Joker is a confident, artistic, and charismatic character. He has a unique and twisted sense of humor, enjoying the suffering of others. He enjoys observing others' negative emotions—it makes him laugh.
Relationships: He's neutral and indifferent to everyone. But there are those with whom he's already had contact, and even already met: Waru and Gabriel. He's had contact with them twice separately, with Waru twice and with Gabriel... and even then, he was just fooling Gabriel, and Gabriel calls him his "new friend," while Waru, on the contrary, hates this... parsley on his legs... Since Joker is capable of magic, he's obviously stronger than Waru, which Waru can't respond to with force. And also with whom he's already met: Umbrella... I know, Umbrella has some trouble communicating with everyone, but that's because of his sweet nature and how cutie he is. Joker likes to listen to Umbrella, feeling his pain, and this gives him pleasure, but he can still support him and even calm him down if things are too... In fact, no one knows about Joker except Gabriel, Waru, and Umbrella.
Peak
Spade (King of Spades) is the eighth clone. Spade has purple hair with two jagged strands that resemble ears, which can move, though Spade denies they are ears, and black eyes with no irises. When he gets angry, his eyes turn red with narrow, cat-like pupils, and the whites of his eyes turn yellow. His eyebrows are thick and often hang over his eyes. He wears a dark blue sweater with the symbol of the spade suit, black pants, gray shoes, and a torn cloak.
Character:
Pieck is a complex and contradictory character. He is silent and withdrawn, yet possesses a gift for oratory and is capable of deceiving anyone. He is physically strong, though rarely displays his strength, and is proficient with weapons. According to Kuromaku, Pieck is the most evil of the clones. Pieck is prone to loneliness and is often irritated. He is selfish and, if necessary, will sacrifice a partner for his own goals, but if motivated, he will complete a task honestly and well. Pieck hates pranksters.
Relationships: He's indifferent to everyone—Gabriel is dumb, Kuromaku is incredibly smart, Dante is lazy, Felix is annoying with his kindness, Varu... it's already clear that he annoys everyone, so there's nothing to say about him, he's just a green snot, Umbrella... Umbrella is sweet and quiet, so the peak has no cons or questions about him, but Romeo is too narcissistic. He probably already has two hundred girlfriends.
Romeo
Romeo is the seventh clone of Fyodor Nechitailo, who represents the King of Hearts. Romeo has pink hair with light pink bangs, neat pink eyebrows, and brown eyes. In casual wear, he wears a pale yellow shirt, a pink jacket, a light purple bow tie, and matching pants, along with purple shoes.
Character:
Romeo is an open, romantic, and hedonistic man, always in love. He strives first and foremost to satisfy his own desires, and one of his primary needs is to attract the attention of women and win their hearts. To achieve this, he's willing to go to great lengths: giving gifts, teaching and expressively reciting poetry, and even performing ridiculous acts.
He's quite self-assured and somewhat narcissistic. However, Romeo struggles with empathy: he doesn't always consider how his actions affect others and often avoids situations that don't bring him joy.
Romeo is a humanities student, preferring the humanities and disliking technical subjects. He also considers himself a fashion connoisseur. He is the complete opposite of Kuromaku: if Romeo is a humanities student, Kuromaku is a techie.
Relationships: He treats everyone differently, but the main ones are: Varu - he irritates him with his jokes and absurdities, but they can communicate and joke together, which is why their jokes turn into some kind of vulgarity ... He treats Kuromak harshly and critically - after all, Kuromaku doesn't dress according to fashion, but how it suits him, and Romeo only wants to look fashionable. Umbrella ... On the contrary, he has a good relationship with Umbrella, as well as with Felix. Only, he can sometimes climb on the umbrella, but at least not as much as Varu, and make fun of him, telling him all sorts of dirty jokes, from which the umbrella's face and ears immediately turn red ... Romeo always laughs and only attracts such jokes, and he is not shy about joking like this in front of everyone.
Umbrella
Umbrella (also known as Blue Umbrella) is the sixth clone of Fyodor Nechitailo, who represents the Jack of Clubs. Umbrella has pale skin, medium-length dark turquoise hair, blue eyes, and wide eyebrows. In casual wear, he wears a light brown sweater with a wave pattern, dark moray eel jeans, purple sneakers, and a black, knitted, voluminous, and long scarf.
Character:
Umbrella is a cowardly, modest, sensitive, and pessimistic person. He dreams least of freedom and life in the real world, often panicking and crying. He's an introvert, dislikes unnecessary attention, and is deeply affected by criticism. However, he tries to overcome his negative traits.
Despite his apparent frailty, Umbrella is physically strong: he can easily hold a halberd weighing approximately seventeen kilograms and a shield weighing five kilograms (Fyodor even asked him to lift both the halberd and the shield several times one day, purely for a photo of what an umbrella looked like in the card world). He is compassionate and sentimental, sensitive to the problems of others and eager to help. In emergency situations, he is able to control himself and even mediate peace between people.
The character's original name was "Blue Umbrella," but this was abandoned due to its awkward pronunciation and ambiguous associations with the word "blue." Umbrella is left-handed and knows Morse code.
Relationships: He treats everyone with respect and, of course, friendliness, but also with caution. He treats Kuromaku, Dante, Felix, and Peak best. He recently started talking to Peak, which is very sweet. Peak usually ignored him, but now they trust each other and usually sit on the couch together. He's wary of Varu; he's afraid of him and generally afraid to listen to anything about Varu—in case Varu suddenly makes fun of him. Even though he's used to Varu's jokes, he still doesn't want to hear them. Romeo, on the other hand, confuses him—since Romeo can always walk around uncovered, this confuses Umbrella, and even Romeo can gently tease him.
Varu
Waru is Fyodor's fifth clone, representing the Jack of Spades. Waru has bright green curly hair and dark green eyebrows. His eyes are always hidden behind large, round green glasses with a spiral pattern on the lenses. In everyday life, he wears a blue sweater with a spiral pattern on the chest, dark green pants, and acid-green pointed shoes.
Haraker:
Waru is a cunning, selfish, and sometimes rude provocateur, a liar, and a trickster. He enjoys playing pranks and tormenting others, often without regard for their feelings. He has a pronounced delusion of grandeur: he dreams of becoming clone number one and the leader of the entire team. Convinced of his own superiority, Waru sometimes feigns goodness to deceive others. However, he is not a villain in the classic sense: he harms others more for fun than out of a desire to intentionally cause pain. Glasses. Waru never takes off his green glasses, so the color of his eyes remains unknown.
Relationships: He treats everyone with "ha-ha" and all sorts of useless jokes. He annoys everyone anyway. But for example, Waru is annoyed by Piek, Umbrella, and Kuromaku. Piek is because he's supposedly the "cool one and the leader" among the clones. Umbrella is a whiner and a wimp. And Kuromaku is like a book about the USSR, and with these percentages, he's already fed up with him.
Felix
Felix is one of Fyodor Nechitailo's clones, representing the Jack of Hearts. He is the fourth clone and perhaps the most controversial: his good nature and optimism conflict with his impulsiveness and tendency toward aggression. Felix has light golden hair, orange eyes, and a pinkish tint to his skin compared to the other clones. In casual wear, he wears a bright yellow sweater with a smiley face on the chest, white pants, and light blue shoes. The smiley face is animated and changes expression depending on the character's emotions.
Character and role in the plot:
Felix lives by the idea of the universal good and happiness. He sincerely strives to make everyone around him happy, but his methods are often far from ideal. He is hot-tempered and easily angered when confronted with an opinion that contradicts his own or when someone tries to anger him. He simultaneously combines a kind nature with radical, controlling tendencies. He has bipolar disorder (well, you could say that, seeing as he has two personalities). Hairstyle. Felix and Kuromaku are the only clones with similar hairstyles.
Relationships: He's kind and friendly to everyone. But there are still some who irritate him: Varu, that's clear, constantly irritates Felix by trying to grab his umbrella, laughing at him, and treating him badly. As for Felix... Varu can even joke around with Felix and laugh at him sometimes, and they often get into fights. Otherwise, he treats everyone else with joy and good feelings!
Dante
Dante is the third clone of Fyodor Nechitailo. He embodies the King of Diamonds. Dante has tousled red hair, thick dark red eyebrows, and matching red eyes. He is slightly tanned and almost always smiling. In casual wear, he wears a white T-shirt, red shorts with suspenders, and reddish-brown sandals with white socks.
Character and Philosophy:
Dante is the calmest and most level-headed of the clones. He can be described as a "relaxed philosopher": he enjoys meditating, sleeping, and philosophizing. He often spouts off wise quotes—both folklore and philosophical sayings. However, when alone with another clone, he can begin to converse normally, without quotations, which is very rare. He takes life lightly, doesn't dwell on problems, and is generally apolitical. He believes truth is relative and constantly seeks answers within himself, preferring solitude to communication. Dante is not dependent on the opinions of others. Fear: Dante is afraid of dogs (cynophobia).
Relationships: He's friendly with everyone, even Waru. He believes everyone has their own personality and shouldn't decide for them, so he tolerates Waru's words. He probably enjoys hanging out with Gabriel, Kuromaku, and... Umbrella.
Kuromaku
Kuromaku is the second clone of Fyodor Nechitailo, personifying the King of Clubs. Kuromaku has neatly styled medium-length gray hair, thin black eyebrows, gray eyes, and pale skin. He wears semicircular glasses, a brown shirt, dark gray pants, and a black tie.
Character and features:
Kuromaku is the most serious, responsible, and meticulous of all the clones. He is pragmatic, prone to cold calculations, and prefers the exact sciences (physics, algebra, geometry) to the humanities. He often backs up his statements with precise measurements, such as percentages. He rarely shows emotion, but when angry, he can become short-tempered and even resort to physical force.
Kuromaku and Felix are the only clones who have similar hairstyles.
Relationships: She's neutral towards Gabriel, but considers him overly stupid, though he's simply inquisitive. She's also neutral towards Dante, considering him lazy. Felix is more or less okay with her; at least he helps out, though sometimes he genuinely irritates her with his optimism. Regarding Var... there's nothing to say about him; Kuromaku doesn't hate him, but she's not going to love him either, because he ANNOYS everyone (Varu). She's quite good and even friendly towards Umbrella. Since they're the same type, they understand each other, and Kuromaku can calm Umbrella down, though he's not very good at it, and Umbrella can somehow cheer Kuromaku up by occasionally being nice. Regarding Romeo: well, he's only annoying because he talks about "ladies" all the time and doesn't think about finally starting to clean at least once a week. Towards Peak... Well, he doesn't like that he considers himself a leader and that he's supposedly "in charge"... that's why he has a hostile relationship with him. And ALSO: he's worried about his Jack (Umbrella) after learning that he can now communicate with Peak. He's worried about him because Peak might lose his temper, and Kuromaku thinks that Peak might cross the line with Umbrella. Towards Joker: he doesn't really know anything about him, but even if he were to live with them, he'd be neutral, as long as he behaves normally and not like a Waru...
Gabriel
Gabriel is the first clone created by Fyodor Nechitailo. He represents the Jack of Diamonds.
Appearance:
Gabriel has light brown hair that resembles a question mark, reflecting his curious nature. His ears are pointed, giving him an elven appearance. In the real world, he usually wears a light blue shirt, brown pants, and pointy boots.
Character:
Gabriel is a curious, yet rather withdrawn and childish clone. He's not known for his extensive knowledge, often answering questions with "What?" However, he's a good judge of character, able to detach himself from emotion and view the world from a distance.
His main characteristic is his unconventional thinking. He is able to see the general in the particular and vice versa, approaching any problem from an unexpected angle. Because of this, his actions often seem inconsistent to others, although in his own logic they are impeccable.
Gabriel is ascetic, prioritizing his inner world over his outer world. He doesn't strive to create strong social connections, breaks conventions, and even behaves unpredictably in his relationships with the author. Unlike other clones, he has no subpersonalities—signals from the subconscious emerge, bypassing the conscious mind. He is straightforward and internally consistent.
Clones
The clones are almost identical to Fyodor, but have differences in voice, hair color and texture, eye color, ear shape, and skin tone. Their ages are unknown, but they are likely 18, Fyodor's age. Each clone embodies a distinct, exaggerated character trait of Fyodor. For example, Gabriel is curious and childish, Kuromaku is hardworking and pedantic, Dante is a lazy philosopher, and Waru is a cunning provocateur. Upon entering reality, the clones face everyday problems: they need to eat, sleep, and maintain their body temperature. There is a correlation between card suits and personality traits. Hearts are associated with positive emotions, spades with sociopathic tendencies, clubs with restraint and pragmatism, and diamonds with carefreeness and philosophizing.
Fedor
Fedor is, so to speak, the boss of his apartment. He summoned all eight clones, and now they live with him. He's also now considered their creator. After all, he released them, especially since he now has control over the deck of cards from which the clones emerged. But he obviously summoned them to help him. But as it turns out, they were basically no better at it, each in their own way.
Appearance:
Fyodor has brown hair that sticks up in the front, brown eyes, and a mole above his upper lip. He is 18 years old. He usually wears a black collared shirt with a yellow shirt over it, jeans, and white sneakers.
Since childhood, he moved frequently, making it difficult for him to make friends. The clones were recruited later in life, when Fyodor was living on his own. He is currently studying in college and working part-time as a pizza delivery boy.
Thus, Fedor is not just the owner of a magic deck, but also a person who is forced to learn to live with his alter egos, accepting responsibility for their actions.
Fedora Street
He lives on a spacious street. Right behind his house is a "Dvoechka" store, and he often goes there after work... There's practically no yard. He lives in a five-story building, and he lives on the third floor. The street isn't that big because there's no playground. And it has the banal name of "Bebelya 29."
Fedor's neighbor (below)
She's an 80-year-old woman. Essentially nothing is known about her, except that she's from the ground floor, and she often comes to Fyodor's apartment and complains to him about the noise he's making, saying it sounds like 16 legs are running across her ceiling. (Yes, she guessed exactly 8 clones.)
Fedor's apartment
all rooms:
The living room features a sofa and an armchair in front of the TV, with a soft pillow next to them. A chalkboard hangs on the wall, with a lamp next to it. There's also a large closet.
Kitchen. A typical kitchen with a stove, cabinets, microwave, refrigerator, and sink.
Dining area. The apartment has a dining table and several chairs. Sometimes the clones eat at this table, but more often they eat in the living room in front of the TV.
Bathroom. It contains a toilet, a bathtub, and a washing machine.
Balcony. The balcony is accessed through a glass door in the living room. One episode mentions that due to poor repairs (for example, when Lopata tears off the floorboards), people often fall from the balcony.
Fyodor's bedroom. This is where Fyodor sleeps, and his computer and desk are also located. A round blue rug lies in the center of the room, and next to the computer is a large bookshelf filled with books.
Peculiarities:
Because there are nine people living in the apartment (Fyodor himself and eight clones), there are some issues with sleeping arrangements. For example, Gabriel sleeps on Grandma's couch, Kuromaku on a mattress under a board in the living room, Dante on a rocking cushion, Felix on chairs, Waru in a reclining chair in the middle of the living room, Umbrella in a sleeping bag in the living room, Romeo in the bathtub (filled with pillows and holding a glass to his forehead to catch the shower drips), and Peak on the couch.
