OHHHHH FUCK WAIT I HAD A EUREKA MOMENT
okay so all of the characters in jackpot crash course are related to luck or casinos/gambling in some way. rachel provided the specifics on discord 👇here (i put the explanations in the post too so ppl can read it)
cd- her design/shirt is inspired by a drink called good luck charm cocktail . it has lemons in it
elise - rabbit's foot
maneki - maneki-neko
cecilia - blue jay (regarded as harbingers of good luck)
cobyn - four-leaf clover
poppy - ladybug
sailor - albatross, sign of good luck for sailors . also it's bad luck to kill them
vega - shooting stars/astronomer themed. witnessing a shooting star is known to bring good luck/fortune
vincent - the number 13 is written under his eyes in roman numerals which is well known as an unlucky number
characters that aren't luck themed but still relates to casino/gambling
benny - street racing themed
bones - bones is a slang term for money + apparently original poker chips were partially made w pieces of bones
rook - her clothing design was based on equestrian uniform which connects to derby/horse race
sandbag - betted boxing matches/sandbag is one of the terms used in poker
ANYWAY the point is my s/i for jcc is named ace now. and specifically they have an ace of spades incorporated into their design because the ace of spades is symbolic of good fortune and shielding against misfortune. some believe the ace of spades can protect against death since there's a notion that death itself is related to the ace of spades.

Vegas Questionnaire.
1.) Who are you rooming with while in Vegas?
— Benny booked a room that is adjacent to Finn's, he told Juli he would keep an eye on him. Then Waverly showed up complaining that she forgot to book a room, and she didn't give him a choice in the matter that she was now going to crash in his hotel room with him.
2.) What do you plan on doing during the Vegas nightlife?
— Drink, hit the casinos, maybe see some strippers. There are many things Benny could do while in Vegas.
3.) What's 1 thing on your Vegas to-do list?
— Benny really wants to do the Emerald Cave Kayak Tour on The Colorado River from Las Vegas.
4.) What drink do you plan on having in your hand at all times?
— An Old Fashioned, because Benny likes the classics. And of course, coffee.
5.) What's your favorite Vegas activity?
— Hitting the casinos, of course. Gotta try and win as much money as Benny can.
6.) Do you prefer to play the slots or sit at a poker table? Do you count cards?
— Benny likes doing both. The slots and playing cards. He is no cheat though, so no counting cards.
7.) What 1 celebrity would you like to run into while at the casino?
— Paul Rudd, because man does that guy seem like a good time.
8.) What are your top 5 Vegas essentials?
— Wallet, money, coffee, identification, and a plan just in case he ends up in jail.
9.) What's the craziest moment you ever experienced in Vegas?
— Does getting into a fight with some drunk at the bar count? Shouldn't have been disrespecting a woman in front of Benny, especially a woman he knows and cares about.
10.) Would you ever elope in Vegas? If so with who?
— He'd say no, but Etta is keen on finding Benny a stripper to get married to by Elvis.
11.) If you hit a jackpot would you give Zach any money? If so how much?
— Since Zach is always doing amazing things for Benny, he would surely give Zach money to repay him. Zach is one hell of a dude and deserves to be told that!
12.) If you owned a casino in Vegas what would you name it?
— The Big Ben Casino, because why the hell not?
13.) What is your Vegas lucky charm?
— The silver ring Benny usually has on his right hand, ring finger.
14.) How many hours straight will you stay up in Vegas?
— If he drinks plenty of coffee and stays on his adrenaline rush, he could stay awake for 72 hours.
15.) What sin do you plan on committing in Sin City?
— Getting as fucked up as he possibly can: due to drinking, drugs, partying, one-night stands, gambling. The words.

lol this tag is a lie i already have things in the works for inserts despite the games being unreleased. lol. lmao even. anyway. here's rough sketches/concepts and whatnot for them. all information is subject to change as things get released. under the cut because hoooo boy this got long.
jackpot crash course
two different ideas for this one actually. i may do one or both it depends-
idea one is CD's junior detective. they've known her since childhood.
idea two is a car mechanic that fixes up vehicles for benny. they've known him since childhood as well. if i go with this one they get to wield a comically large wrench at some point, maybe to kill one of the other characters since this is a death game.
they lack charisma but they make up for it in likeability and tenacity. also manipulating the shit out of people, which they kind of feel bad about but justify with their desire to survive.
bittersweet sentence
take the autism creature and put it in a human body. that's it that's this self insert.
it has a staring problem but that's because it's observing the other prisoners to see what they do and don't like and how they handle situations.
they also have this weirdly calming effect? keeps yun-woo from snapping and tones down na-hun's energetic ass a bit.
they follow yun-woo and na-hun round like a stray cat. no one knows why. yun-woo has tried to shake them off but they stay anyways. na-hun doesn't mind, he enjoys their company.
it's never outright stated how they ended up in the dreamscape prison but it's implied they were in a really bad situation and bad headspace when they first fell asleep
firmly believes they don't deserve parole so they purposely neglect their daily tasks or give their stickers away in order to stay in the prison. yun-woo does manage to convince them to leave with him once they get close enough.
even so, they worry they may not get to see him in the real world because the premise is people trapped in their sleep and if they have been stuck in sleep for a while (we're talking MONTHS) they could die or end up in critical condition.
s-01-ver bullet
they're either with uno (whoever he's affiliated with) or laska industries. either way they're proficient at their job and well respected.
also either way they have biometric enhancements that kind of didn't get programmed right. they lose control of their body and mind when the equipment "glitches" so they require uno's help to keep it under control.
their code name is "duo" because of the above ^ but also because they can complete the work of two men in one day. only kowalski and uno know their real name (i also don't have a real name for them yet).
prefers to stick to a plan like kowalski, but unlike kowalski is more flexible when plans go sideways. ("you gotta be nonchalant because the second you start chalanting shit go left")
"it's so fucking over" on the inside, "we're so fucking back" on the outside.
divine hunt
guy who's clearly losing in a fistfight but talking shit like they're winning.
very composed, calm, and mature (they have to be since they work for the mayor) but easily annoyed by john doe. they pick fights with him a lot.
some kind of medium that's like?? an ambassador for the town between then mortals and spirits planning divine punishment.
or maybe they share a body with a divine or formerly divine spirit. that would be fun maybe.
always wants to help celeste and oliver however they can. john doe is on his own though fuck that guy (/lh)
little flowers or thunderclouds can be seen around their sprites depending on their mood.
the looping woods
uhhhh they know noah and omen somehow??? this game doesn't have much context behind it so i don't have much for this one sorry.
"kill me once, shame on me. kill me twice, how did you do that. kill me three times, this time loop fucking sucks."
they survive if noah survives and omen dies but die if noah dies and omen survives. or all three of them die. lol. lmao even. this one has potential for multiple endings but all of rachel's games so far have had multiple endings so we'll see!
yabai yatai
they specialize in water-based exorcisms!! learned how from their aunt, who married into the family (most of her family is exorcists).
they moved to japan when they were 18 to help with the spirits issue over there. their immediate family was told they were moving for university since they kept the whole exorcisms thing under wraps.
possibly the only person who can keep reiji's ego in check. they also sometimes feed into his ego on accident. oops.
calmer and more passive in general, but they won't hesitate to face an issue head-on if the situation calls for it.
literally they just grab shinko and go "this is my son now." he has no say in this by the way.
