Line 4:
Each character has a Rank, varying from Two through the Face Cards, and belongs to a Suit (Hearts, Clubs, Spades and Diamonds,) just like in a regular deck of cards. Newcomers start out as Twos, but can move up through the Ranks through things called Challenges. Lower Ranks are typically more serving/working-class, while higher Ranks are more involved in the running of their specific Suit.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Not even the Royals are exempt from this.
* [[Babies Ever After]]: Best seen in the [[Alternate Universe]] "Grimverse." Which [[Ironic Name|isn't so grim]] after all.
Line 15:
* [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences]]: Heroes/Villains-verse heroic twins Eileen and Darren, thanks to [[Twin Telepathy]]. And, well. General telepathy.
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]:

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Chives, after Urania telling him she was pregnant.

There's just a man entirely shutting down, perhaps rebooting, from the sudden influx of Too Much that's slammed into his incapable processors. The rest is silence."]''}}
* [[Non-Player Character]]: In great abundance-- the Deck can't run on ''only'' player-controlled characters, after all!
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: A rarely-occurring trope, most notably witnessed in the return of the the Spade King David after an assassination attempt by his wife and Queen, Athena.
Line 23:
* [[Past Right Now]]
* [[Standard Royal Court]]
* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: One of the [[Alternate Universe|Alternate Universes]], the "[[The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Cards]]"-verse, has this. Can likely also be seen in many old Deck families due to interbreeding.
* [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: Or [[Tear Jerker|Heartbreaking]], in the case of Rachel [http://houseofcards-rp.livejournal.com/154440.html?thread=2087496#t2087496 calling her beloved niece by her proper name] instead of the usual, fond, "little one" in Marcus' execution.
