I found a diagram that shows the different parts of the card. Unfortunately it's in Spanish, but I know a bit of Spanish, and with the help of Google Translate I was able to translate the whole thing. The one word I'm not sure about is "iniciativa" which according to Google Translate means "initiative", but I'm not sure how that word has anything to do with a card RPG.
Here's a link to the original diagram.

Here's an embedded copy of the translated version I made.
From my understanding, Life Points is the original amount of health or HP (hit points) that the character starts with. The Attack Points shows both a shield and swords so I assume it may represent both a defensive and offensive number. Not sure how damage is calculated during an attack but I'm guessing that damage done by my card to your card is calculated by my card's Attack Points minus your card's Attack Points. If the damage is positive, then the person who initiated the attack causes that much damage to the opponent's card. If it is exactly a zero difference then the attack was repelled. I'm not sure if it is negative, but it may be that this means the attack was repelled, or it may mean that the positive equivalent of this negative number is a damage number, and that the damage is received by the card that initiated the attack. A card's initial HP is the Life Points shown on the card. After an attack, the card that receives damage calculates HP after the attack by subtracting the damage points done by the attack from the HP that the card had from just before being hit by the attack. The Special Abilities section can determine any additional attack, defense, damage that may occur when playing the card or other strange effects that might change the rules of how that card or any other card is to be handled, depending on just what the Special Abilities section says. The card description is just something that explains the purpose of the card within the context of the plot of the game. The Card Type simply says if it is a character, or device, or spell, etc, and if it is a character what type of character it is.
The two parts I can't figure out at all are the Rune and the Initiative parts. I don't know how they work at all. My hunch with Initiative is that the values of the initiatives of all the cards a player starts with, compared to the Initiative values of all the cards that all the other players start with may determine who gets to make the first move in the game, second, third, etc. My guess would be that smaller numbers get to start sooner, but I'm not sure. Of course maybe it has nothing to do with who starts first. Maybe it has to do with who's attack gets priority of somehow two cards end up attacking each other at the same time in the game (similar to attack-priority in video games that determines if you and your opponent attack at the same time, who's attack is considered to land, and who's is considered to have been canceled by the attack from the other guy). As for the Rune indicator, I have no idea. I have not even a slight as to what it's for.
