Personality: Undisputed leader of the triplets, Kepling appears to outsiders to be a mellow, even morose figure. Left with just his brother and sister or select friends for company, he quickly reveals himself to be a forceful jerk. He suffers absolutely no nonsense from anyone and his careful, controlled violence coupled with the dark look on his face makes him look quite frightening. He's the sort of person you have nightmares about. Kepling is actually extremely good at controlling himself and simply likes to exert control over others as an extension of this. He can be manipulative and doesn't mind lying. He's completely amoral. He also, surprisingly, doesn't mind following, provided he has a say in things. He may be the leader of the siblings and enjoy controlling others, but he has no long-term goals or aspirations, so he doesn't generally feel the need to set the agenda. He mostly plays at controlling people and being forceful when he's bored. Most of the time he just lets things be as they are.
_____While he looks very serious and threatening, Kepling rarely has to make good on any of his threats. He much prefers the act of intimidation to any physical force or consequences. If he encounters resistance, he usually shrugs it off to go find his jollies elsewhere with some other project. Generally, though, his dark and gloomy glare provides intimidation enough to keep others in line. He looks dangerous and technically he could be dangerous, but generally speaking it's just him exploiting his imposing countenance.
_____Kepling has absolutely no sense of humor and has never laughed in his life, not even sarcastically, though he may occasionally give an ironic "ha, ha" when things are terribly serious.
Background:
Special Skills: Adrenaline Rush - Kepling can generate a burst of adrenaline which enables him to do incredible physical feats but leaves him significantly drained and can even be life-threatening.
True Compass - Kepling always knows in which direction he's facing and can easily retrace his steps, find his way to a location he knows the coordinates of or has seen on a map, and is a genius at reading maps.
Card Sense - As a byproduct of growing up among cards, Kepling has a real gift for counting cards and is unusually good at card games. It's almost as if he just knows instinctively what a card is by looking at the backside of it. Anything involving cards comes as second nature to him.
Weaknesses: Kepling has so little ambition and drive he comes across as lethargic. Left to his own devices, he would probably spend all of his time dicking around on the Internet. He really requires someone else (e.g. Parnell and/or Merroth) to incite him into any kind of meaningful or significant action.

Personality: Sweet little Frost tries to be cheerful, but when Parnell and Kepling are your siblings, it's hard, especially since Parnell and Kepling tend to pair themselves off and exclude Frost. As a result Forst generally feels like he's unwanted and his self-esteem suffers. He thinks people don't really want to have him around so he does his best to stay out of their way. He cries fairly easily; Kepling and Parnell frequently call him a crybaby. While their parents have done their best to make Frost feel wanted, he can only find so much comfort in the cards. It's just not the same as the company of another warm body.
____Self-esteem aside, Frost is excitable and caring and can easily get carried away in any situation. When he's happy he has a smile charming as anything and when he gets excited he talks too fast and his voice goes all squeaky. While he may have trouble working up the confidence sometimes, once he's in the moment he's golden for as long as the moment lasts. It's afterwards when he's all alone that the self-doubt and second-guessing settles in, always ending up at the sad conclusion that as happy as anyone who was with him might have seemed, it would probably be best if he just stayed out of their way and didn't annoy them again.
Background:
Special Skills: Songbird - Frost has a stong and clear singing voice and can sing like a bird.
Card Sense - As a byproduct of growing up among cards, Frost is unusually good at card games. It's almost as if he just knows instinctively what a card is by looking at the backside of it. His sense of cards isn't quite as good as Parnell and Kepling's, but it's still well above normal.

Personality: Parnell likes to think of herself as dark and deeply disturbed, which is a fairly good description of how other people see her, too. With her slow, monotone voice and half-lidded eyes, talking to her is like waiting for death at the same rate that California is pulling towards the sea (46mm/year), and the ideas that she comes up with are just disturbing on every level imaginable. She has absolutely no grasp of political correctness or social grace; she's the type to talk about horrific birth defects in gruesome detail at a fine banquet, or ask about your latest bowel movement and share details of her own, or ask a grieving wife is there will be any decent snacks at her husband's funeral. There's also a strong sense that while Parnell likes to drone on about things, she doesn't really pay the rest of the world much attention, nor does she care if what she says is factually incorrect or just downright wrong.
_____Parnell approaches life in a slow, plodding manner. She can be very methodical. While she is by no means a genius or even particularly smart, she has excellent study habits and finishes what she starts so tends to do wel in school. It may take her a while, but piece by piece she always gets things done.
_____Parnell is a constant pessimist to protect herself from getting hurt. While she sometimes seems like an uncaring robot, deep down she really does care, a lot, and the only way she can keep herself together is to keep her expectations as low as possible to avoid the bitter, bitter sting of disappointment. (Kepling sees right through this, and Parnell appreciated that.) She stills finds herself disappointed most of the time anyway, but at least it's not so quite so big an upset as it might be if she let herself hope for more.
_____Kepling and Parnell are very close, maybe even too close, as they frequently band together to the exclusion of others. They don't really trust other people, even Frost. Trying to separate the pair is like trying to write a novel without ever using the letter E. It can be done, but the results aren't pretty and it's best never attempted.
Background:
Special Skills: Indestructible - Parnell can apparently survive anything; drowning, asphyxiation, cave-ins, whatever. Her skin can get burnt and bruised and cut and she can lose consciousness, but even after being pronounced clinically dead she gets right back up. Breathing is apparently optional for her, but preferable. When she doesn't breathe she becomes robotic and unresponsive.
Card Sense - As a byproduct of growing up among cards, Parnell has a real gift for counting cards and is unusually good at card games. It's almost as if she just knows instinctively what a card is by looking at the backside of it. Anything involving cards comes as second nature to her.
Parnell speaks German, which she learned from the German deck of cards in the house.
Weaknesses: Parnell can't swim. She just sinks like a stone to the bottom.
