behind the poker table, this croupier sits proudly, chin lifted and a sly smile put on like nothing more but a brand new suit. confidence and charm mark this colourful feline as he shuffles the deck, not once dropping their grin. frequently this silver-tongued individual talks his way out of trouble, tending to add something of a flirty style into his words. although he enjoys his position as a dealer, they aren’t afraid to play the game. being quite the risk-taker himself, zany frequently brings up upsetting topics with no fear, knowing he can get out of it if he must. he can on many occasions be viewed making a scene in camp, arguing with a high-ranking individual or warrior. and as he walks away, dazzling movements and winks pass out a casual feeling in an attempt to revert camp back to normality. not to say he’s never won over someone in these arguments. we’ve got an influencer on our paws, always knowing just how to twist words into a mangled web of half-truths and lies. he enjoys gossip and thrives in chaos, liking to send out rumours just for fun. all the while, he must be seen as happy! energetic and bouncing off the walls, zany certainly fits their name. it’s rarely genuine, and rather it’s typically a more disturbing glee. it’s not like he’s the most active cat either. instead, zany does things on his own time. he’ll recruit cats to finish his tasks for them, or just brush it off until he feels like it. as charming and eloquent as he can be, zany dislikes all that fancy talk. they much prefer the sharp, unexpected delivery that comes with blunt conversation starters. much like the wolf he is, they are as frank and relaxed as can be until the moment he feels threatened. not to say he’s humourless, exactly. as he hands out cards from his stack, he’s got a few aces up his sleeve hisself. zany indulges in an unusual self-mockery, trying to provoke the dry sense of humour in others. if he can’t get that to emerge, especially if this player is a high-ranking one, he’ll do everything in his power to ensure they lose. in other words, the total annihilation of this cat’s image, leaving him as unpredictable and intimidating as a rattling snake. and zany’s rigid beliefs don’t exactly help; everything is black and white to him, no grey area whatsoever. this makes him biased, feeling that if someone doesn’t align with his beliefs (or at minimum /says/ they align with it), they simply aren’t worth zany’s time. after all, his beliefs are the only true beliefs. zany, when prompted, tends to assert them as incontrovertibly true. he lifts the deck, cards soaring through the air in a fancied and adeptly-studied shuffle, holding the players’ gazes in turn all the while. he passes out two cards each, “let the games begin. do remember, no refunds.” zany never intends for his players to win. no matter the game, be certain he’s the expert. and they’re not afraid to say it. in fact, when it comes to his games, zany goes from a lazy, relaxed figure to the most competitive opponent you’ve never seen. he counts each win, too, flaunting it to those he is close to. however, he isn’t all the seems. he’s quite a fearful cat, though he’d never let anyone see that. he’ll jump at his own shadow, and any questioning will release his more vengeful nature. zany clears his throat, spreading his cards. as the card game starts, it is clear that this individual will need some decoding. he grins smugly, tapping the two cards before you. “your move.”
