Plot/Explanation:
This a medieval AU (with some modern inventions/OOPARTS like plumbing) that is based off the drawings Himaruya did of the nations in special outfits for a deck of cards. It is first come, first serve for positions, however, you may request a role that your character does not hold in the original drawings by Himaruya.
There are four factions in this AU – Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades. Each kingdom has a specific color attributed to it as well as (in some fanons) certain attributes: Spades (Blue; Power, Perseverance ), Diamonds (Yellow; Wealth, Beauty), Hearts (Red; Love, Willpower), and Clubs (Green; Luck, Strength).
Characters are also assigned a number related to a card and the higher a number is in the suit (IE, 10), the higher the rank of the character. The Jokers – Chaos and Order – are two of the most powerful beings in this AU. They are immortal, and charged with creating and maintaining their respective roles.
Though peace has been longstanding between the four Kingdoms, there is currently a rumor within the Kingdom of Hearts that a small group of rebels is seeking to dethrone the king. No one really knows where the group came from or who their leader is, but rumor has it that they seek to put the "True King of Hearts" on the throne. Rumor or no, it is definitely something that has raised quite a bit of tension within a short period of time.
