I had the idea, back when I first got into Trigun, to design some face cards with Trigun characters on them. Over time, I've made a few attempts at it, but was never satisfied in the character selections. It came to mind again the other day and I thought maybe I'd throw it out there to you guys for opinions. (I'm not making any promises to actually make these right now, btw. Maybe eventually.) An idea I had was to make them reversible, like a traditional deck of cards, where you can turn them upside down and they're still right side up. Except that one direction would have the anime character designs and the other direction would have the manga character designs. Kings - Vash, Wolfwood, Legato, Knives Queens - Meryl, Milly, Rem, (This last queen gives me so much trouble. The only characters I can think of would be Dominique or Lina. If it were anime-only, I would use Amelia. If it were manga-only, there's a few I could use: Luida, Cronica, Tessla... would it be politically incorrect to use Elendira? XD) Jacks - Midvalley, Chapel, Zazi, (The other troublemaker.) Another idea was to line up the suits with characters that relate to each other. For example, Wolfwood, Milly, and Chapel in a suit. That would probably put the last queen in line with Legato, and the last jack with Vash, I guess. But maybe that idea's more trouble than it's worth. Anyway, yeah, just throwin' that out there, because why not?

That sounds like a really awesome idea. Especially with the one side manga design and the other anime. However. Isn't it mostly just Vash that looks different from manga to anime? There is some things that is different with the others. But it isn't that much. Though, I haven't read the whole of the manga yet so ^^'
And I like the clothes idea. But what color do you think they have? I'm thinking maybe Vash might be Hearts. Knives Diamond. Wolfwood Spades. And Legato Clubs. Or maybe Knives should have Spades?
And maybe Kuroneko should be on the Aces...? ovo

That is an excellent idea! Especially the part about each card having anime and manga sides. About Jacks, Rai Dei for the fourth one, maybe? Also, Legato should be a queen, not a king : pAnd maybe Kuroneko should be on the Aces...? ovo YES. Yesyesyes, I like. I've been fiddling with the idea of making a Tarot deck myself, but that will probably be a long time coming.

crazzity: Some of the characters are about the same, but I think there's enough with differences to make things interesting. Milly's a blonde in the manga and has a slightly different coat. Chapel is way different, and Zazi... becomes different... later... I think even the ones that are the same might be a bit interesting if I tried really hard to match the drawing styles of the anime and manga, so then at least the drawing style would be slightly different for each character. And, yeah, I think the aces are a great place for Kuroneko. ^_^ fantardism: Rai Dei's not a bad idea. And, hey, a Tarot deck sounds awesome. Honestly, I know nothing about Tarot cards other than the fact that they're cool looking. If you ever decide to go ahead with the idea, I'd love to see them.

I have a Trigun deck of cards that I got from a con years ago, and your ideas sound much more fun that what it is, which is basically just random art. :P I haven't played with them in a while, but one thing I always liked was vash and knives are the jokers. :) I will have to take a picture of all of the cards!

I think I've seen those cards before at cons, but I only saw the backs and figured they were normal cards, just with Vash on the back. I'd like to see them if you post pictures.
I'm not really sure who I'd put on the jokers. Maybe one joker with an anime-only character and one with a manga-only character? Like Amelia and Livio? Or... maybe some minor villains, like the Nebraska's and Brilliant Dynamite Neon.

Honestly I thought it'd be funniest to have a kuroneko joker. X3
