For the first question, I believe you can give multiple representation inputs 
to the emitter and tell it to assign them at random.

For the second, it's probably best to provide emitter geometry (say, as an OBJ 
file) which has the straight lines in it rather than emitting from a card. You 
can create point cloud geometry with a point for each particle and tell the 
emitter to emit from points, or multiple line geometry and tell the emitter to 
emit from edges.
