Your Visiting-Card

Inspired by the exciting new socialising mechanics, I'm wondering - what are your characters' visiting-cards like? Do they bear elaborate engravings or photographic prints? Do they announce your clubs and qualifications? Or are they simply and starkly stamped with their name alone?
I'm still very much pondering my own characters' calling-cards, but I imagine they'd be a little something like...
- Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook: Cream card in an aesthetic design. Mentions a number of academic qualifications, salons and learned societies.
- Reginald Hubris: A plain black-on-white affair bearing his title; the unspoken assumption being that anyone who doesn't know to find him at the Parthenaeum isn't worth knowing.
- Esther Ellis-Hall: A decorous but businesslike card, stating her name and professional role within the Fallen Fabian Society.
- Juniper Brown: A trade-card from the Brown family business, bearing a Surface-address and fifteen years out of date. Her name and current address have been added to the corner in cheap ink.

Juniper Brown, the Ill-Fated Orphan. Esther Ellis-Hall, the Fashionable Fabian.

Many fine and creative calling cards here. I am disappointed, however, that I have not seen 'Help I'm trapped in a calling card factory.' Most unsatisfactory.

Aximillio doesn't leave a calling card, unless it's formal. He prefers sneaking up on the victims from behind and showering them with confetti. The formal cards are plain and pretty identical to the ones you find in shops.

Possibly returned after a long hiatus. Please do not send live rats or tournament requests.

All right! I gave in. I wrote a calling card for my alt Narciso (narcissus_echo) --
A calling card! It's the Ace of Hats. The Hat in question does grin charmingly, and to its side is written /Narcis- Confortola, Conjurer, Composer, Curator/. Beneath that appellation is a music note crossed with a truncated Correspondence sigil, which -- if you are Watchful enough -- you may interpret to mean 'one who conducts an orchestra as the Sun conducts her celestial coterie.' There's an address to a shop in the spires of the Bazaar.
And for Theodor (echo_theodor) --
A plain card, the colour of tea and cream. In the center are seven pinpoint stars arranged as in the Septentriones. Above is the name and address of a bookseller in the Bazaar, the author and academic T.E Gylden. Below is a motto: Septentrionem appetimus (translatable as We seek the Seven Stars, or We hunger for the North).
Not ominous. Not at all.
