District 10 (J Corp.)
J Corp. is one of the 26 Wings of the City, and is in control of District 10.
Overview
District 10 is known for its abundance of casinos and the prevalence of gambling among its population. Luck plays a visible part in the District's culture in many ways; for example, a customer entering a shop might be requested to draw their luck of the day, and might be loaned different amounts of money depending on the result.
J Corp.'s casinos are separated in tiers, ranging from Silver to Diamond,[1] with its highest tier being Blue Diamond.[2] Cheating is fairly common in these gambling dens, but the gamblers' expertise is greater the higher the den's tier— some using Veils to conceal their presence in plain sight— and are far more subtle.[3]
Furthermore, J Corp. has a focus on ensuring the fairness of gambling sessions, and has Observers— employees devoted to the monitoring of ongoing games to ensure that their results depend entirely on chance.[4] There are also a high amount of Offices, most of them affiliated with the Öufi Association, that similarly monitor the games and verify their results, as well as prevent them from escalating into violent situations,[5] though may allow cheats to slip by should the rules allow for some leeway.[6] They're generally hired for high stake games in higher tier gambling dens,[7] and are expected to be able to pick up on the various cheats and tricks used by its players, and may punish and even kill the cheaters depending on their behavior after being exposed.
Singularity
J Corp. possesses two Singularities. The first Singularity revolves around the "locking" of objects and/or information that is "open" or "exposed" on a conceptual level.[8] This Singularity is used sometimes by gamblers for locking trackers on cards, for which reason Observers may carry F Corp. All-purpose Unlocker Fairies to expose and undo the effects of the Singularity.[9] Its second Singularity allows the extraction of "Wishpower" from individuals, which can then be stored and re-applied through a tattoo to temporarily boost a person's luck. These tattoos can normally be washed away with water,[10] though there are procedures to apply it as a permanent tattoo.[11]
